MOON PALACE 2
POSTED ON NOVEMBER 23, 2019BY GRAVEROBBER.KUN
“You have piqued my interest. You, The person who Yukine holds in such high regard.”

The same moment her word reached me, a chill runs through my body.

It was as if the area is filled with static electricity. The atmosphere itself is pricking at me. And not just that, my body started to tremble as the temperature rapidly lower.

Furthermore, thanks to her swirling magical energy, the air around her are shaking like she was surrounded by a heat haze which made her figure looked quivering.

President Monika crosses her arms and look at me with a sharp gaze.

That’s not all.

As if trying to overwhelm that magic power, Shion-san also directs her magic power toward me. A jet-black smoke emerges from Shion-san and starts floating around her. It slowly descends to her feet and gradually spreading, slowly eroding the floor.

Shion-san looks at me with her eyes lowered. She must be as curious as president Monika.

It is not as much as president Monika but a huge amount of magic power is surely being direct at me.

This time, I feel another magic power rising from the other side, I think it is Sempai’s.

However, this magic power wasn’t directed at me. It is wrapping around as if trying to protect me. That’s what I felt.

It was like she was asking president Monika and Shion-san, what are they trying to do.

Shion-san put her hand on the folding fan, her weapon and spread it to hide her mouth. Since it’s her then she is surely hiding a big smile behind that folding fan.

“Fufu, Fufufufufufu.”

Beside me, Nanami starts laughing.

Everyone’s line of sight turned toward Nanami.

“What is so funny, Nanami-san?”

Nanami continues smiling after president Monika addressed her.

“It is too funny, my stomach is hurting. To try intimidating Goshujin-sama with this amount of magic power is so funny that it gives me a stomachache.”

Saying so, she performs a maid-like bow and looks at me.

“Isn’t that right, Goshujin-sama?”

Seriously, what are you doing?

Gathering their expectations, increasing it and direct it back toward me. You are actually laughing on the inside right?

But I don’t really hate this kind of burning situation. Rather, I should praise her for stirring things up.

Since Nanami already laid the groundwork, let’s do this.

“Haa~~”

I sigh and shrug my shoulders.

Then, I strengthened myself and put more magic power into the stole so that I can release it at any time. I intentionally raised the corner on one side of my stole.

Now then, why don’t I overcome president Monika’s expectations?

I keep sending in more, more and even more magical power. Without holding anything back, I gather together the absurd amount of magic power contained inside my body and let it scatter into the atmosphere. Fully intended to fill the entire room with it.

There are various reactions.

A look of surprise on vice president Fran’s face.

“Fufufu, Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.”

Dispersing her own magic power, Shion-san let out a burst of laughter.

Captain Steph was surprised but she managed to remain calm and put her hand on her wand so that she can act at any time.

Lord Benito is still smiling but he stared at me with a sharp gaze, never cutting his own body strengthening magic.

And Mizumori-sempai who somehow has a proud look on her face.

Finally, president Monika calmly stands up and directs her gaze toward me.

She shut her eyes and exhale. Then she slowly opens her eyes while erasing her magic power.

Looking at her, I also lower my magic power and wait for her words.

“That was great. You are truly wonderful….!”

The president walks toward me with a wide smile.

She stopped two heads away from me. She then sways her hair and looks at me.

Looking at her closely you will notice.

Naturally, she would have her own Fanclub. She’s beautiful, too beautiful. Each part of her face is like a piece of art, they are all composed at the best place possible. Everything is in harmony which increases her beauty many times over.

“Takioto Kousuke-kun. How about joining the student council?”

That took my breath away. Before I can say anything, I heard a voice from my right.

“President Monika, aren’t we supposed to not extend our invitation to him in this meeting?”

Said Lord Benito. He looks our way with his wonderful handsome(Ikemen) smile. As his eyes met with mine, he gave me a wink. Then.

“Hey Takioto-kun, what about us Shikibukai? I have to apologize in advance but I have looked into you beforehand. You see, it looked to me like what you truly want is your own freedom correct?”

“Well, I am happy that you offered me freedom.”

To my reply, Lord Benito smile, and nod.

“Certainly, thinking about the behind the scene role of the shikibukai you might have to stand out a little but you see, the shikibukai can provide you with freedom and if you join now, you can have Shion-chan, you know!!”

“Fuhahahaha, Lord Benito, to think you would offer me as a bonus! Well, if we can get a subordinate like him then I will have to think about this.”

“Oi, Shion. Enough with the joke.”

Unexpectedly, Sempai scrunches her eyebrows and said so looking ill-humored.

“Yukine, I understand that he is important to you so settle down. Takioto-sama, it seems like our Yukine wants you to join us…..and right now, I am very interested in you.”

“Please calm down everyone. Aren’t we all just invited him? Don’t we have the thing that we have to do before extending our invitation?

Vice president Fran said so and everyone shut their mouths, each one of them has various kinds of expressions.

“That’s right, let’s leave it at this.”

Monika-san turns back and starts walking away.

“It is very unusual, for each of the three committees to all want him like this.”

As vice president Fran said so, president Monika returns to her seat. Then she sweeps her eyes at everyone.

“Takioto Kousuke. Let’s ask you then.”

As president Monika said that, the vice-chairman of every committee touches their crest on the wall behind them.

Looking at them, captain Steph raises her voice.

“The [Justice] and [Model] of the public moral committee.”

The crest of the public moral committee shines while Mizumori-sempai and St.Stefania stand in front of it.

“The [Model] and [Goal] of the student council.”

Said president Monika as she standing next to the shining student council crest with vice-president Fran beside her.

“Or the [Goal] and [Rivalry] of the Shikibukai.”

Said Lord Benito who lined up next to Shion-san in front of the shining shikibukai crest.

“Which one do you choose?”

Asked president Monika in front of her shining crest.

“The one I want to join is…….”

There was no need to ask. All of my action was all for joining them from the start.

That’s why, without hesitation, the place I want to join is of course…….

“The Shikibukai.”
