A Lonely Sensei's Daily Life (2) - 17

The General Student Council.

 

 

The General Student Council is always criticized. Even now, they are being criticized for the Kaiser incident... It was a headache for the General Student Council. The neglect of Abydos was a problem that had been going on since long before the current General Student Council, even during the time of their predecessors.

 

 

Even the General Student Council President before her disappearance put the fundamental issues of Abydos on hold because she couldn't solve them. Repaying the school's debt could set a precedent for other schools to borrow money recklessly and ask for repayment, so it wasn't an easy decision.

 

 

That's why the General Student Council was frustrated. It was the same with the recent Kaiser fine. The General Student Council decided on the punishment through a meeting. Rin, the acting president and chief of staff, and Ayumu, the head of the mediation office, basically conducted the meeting from a neutral standpoint, while the rest were divided into factions and debated.

 

 

As a result, considering the economic scale of a corporation like Kaiser, they couldn't inflict a major blow, so they imposed a small fine for a large corporation.

 

 

There were objections from the heads of departments, including the heads of the culture and health departments, but the heads of the defense, human resources, and finance departments, including Aoi, also took the position that they couldn't impose a greater punishment due to Kaiser's economic reasons.

 

 

Although they attacked Abydos, the heated public opinion would soon cool down. Abydos was a failing autonomous district anyway. Even the most ancient of autonomous districts, Abydos, had long since fallen into decline, so other autonomous districts didn't really care.

 

 

Instead, they looked down on or ridiculed Abydos for being attacked by a corporation. That's the way the world is.

 

 

In reality, Abydos wasn't destroyed, and since it ended with a near miss of the city being blown up, it ended like this. Many people were outraged by this reality, but there was nothing they could do. Kaiser survived, once again.

 

 

"Yes~ I made my opinion very clear. There was a risk that PMC could have been destroyed, but fortunately, they will be able to continue their munitions business."

 

 

{Yes, thank you, Chief of Defense.}

 

 

And behind that, of course, was Kaiser's spy. Not necessarily a member of Kaiser, but a collaborator who secretly joined hands with Kaiser.

 

 

One of the most prominent among them was Kaya, the head of the defense department. She hadn't joined hands with Kaiser from the beginning, but she had been dealing with Kaiser since the General Student Council President disappeared and Rin became the acting president.

 

 

Kaya also put a lot of effort into the recent Kaiser issue.

 

 

"Haa... If Abydos had fallen into Kaiser's hands, there was a possibility that Rin-san could have been ousted for neglecting this..."

 

 

Kaya sighed as she looked down at the city outside the window. She knew about the Abydos incident, but she didn't intervene. Rather, Kaya wished that Kaiser would wipe out Abydos. If Abydos was destroyed and became Kaiser's autonomous district?

 

 

That problem would have fallen squarely on Rin's shoulders. The plan to have her impeached and for Kaya, who had built up her power, to become the acting General Student Council President was, of course, ruined.

 

 

"Sensei... You're more capable than I thought. I couldn't even prevent the detention of the PMC director."

 

 

It was all thanks to Schale's Sensei. The SRT mobilized by Sensei captured and detained all the PMC personnel and the PMC director who were involved at the time, leaving no room for escape. A trial was unnecessary. As the authority of the General Student Council President, the evidence was clear.

 

 

The PMC troops and the director, although not sentenced to life imprisonment, were imprisoned for at least 10 years. Sensei seemed to be aiming for life imprisonment through a later trial.

 

 

No matter how much power Kaya and other spies exerted, the evidence that they tried to kidnap and experiment on Hoshino was too clear to be covered up. In the end, life imprisonment was confirmed. That's why Kaya was in a difficult position.

 

 

Even if Kaiser paid a small fine, PMC suffered a great loss. In addition, they wouldn't receive any mercenary work for at least a month, and Kaiser-made weapons became unpopular. Although sales would eventually return to normal, they would suffer losses for a while.

 

 

The damage to Kaiser was quite painful. Moreover, since Sensei's abilities had been proven, Kaya was in a difficult situation.

 

 

"...Should I try to join hands with him, instead?"

 

 

Kaya then thought that Sensei was also an adult, so he wouldn't be much different from Kaiser... and decided to try to win him over. Kaya thought about joining hands and sharing power together. Having made up her mind, Kaya decided to go see Sensei right away.

 

 

"Using such a large building alone, as expected..."

 

 

Sensei uses the huge Schale building alone. Kaya, looking up at Schale with a gaze of jealousy, gets on the elevator.

 

 

After arriving at the office floor, Kaya walked down the hallway and knocked on the office door.

 

 

"Come in~"

 

 

A voice came from inside. It sounded like a frail girl's voice. When she opened the door and went inside...

 

 

"Oh my? I know you. You're the Chief of Defense, right?"

 

 

'.....What is this brat? Come to think of it, I heard that Sensei can transform into various students. I didn't expect him to be able to become a brat like this. If his intelligence has also changed, then it might be easier than I thought?'

 

 

"It's nice to meet you, Sensei. I'm Shiranui Kaya, the head of the defense office. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

 

 

"Nice to meet you too~ Kaya?"

 

 

Sensei greeted Kaya happily, then hopped off the chair and headed to the break room. Then, Sensei brought out some tea. Kaya sat on the sofa, drank the tea, and immediately tried to build rapport with Sensei by flattering him.

 

 

But...

 

 

"So~ What brings you here, Kaya~? I don't think the Chief of Defense would just come to play~?"

 

 

"Ah... That's because?"

 

 

"Come to think of it, I heard that the defense ministry recently ordered Valkyrie to evict the homeless people near Kousagi Park~?"

 

 

"....."

 

 

At first, Kaya thought she could easily deceive her with sweet talk, but when the topic of Valkyrie came up, she flinched. Sensei looked at Kaya with a chuckle.

 

 

"Yes, well, it's not good to have homeless people in the park, right? They might be staying in nearby ruins, and who knows what they might do at night."

 

 

"Hmm~ I'm sure it's not good, both in terms of hygiene and other things~"

 

 

"Yes, yes, that's right. So, for the safety of the citizens─"

 

 

"Then, shelters for the homeless are prepared, right~?"

 

"......... Shelters?"

 

 

"Yes. Or... are there none? No way~? If you're going to evict the homeless people staying there, they'll obviously just be homeless somewhere else, so it defeats the purpose, doesn't it? You must have started building shelters for them, right~? No, it doesn't have to be a new building, you can use an existing building as a shelter~"

 

 

"That's..."

 

 

"Oh my? Could it be, that there aren't any? You didn't even think about it? No way~ There's no way our Defense Chief wouldn't have thought of something so sloppy and easy~?"

 

 

"............"

 

 

She hadn't thought about it. The redevelopment of Kousagi Park was being carried out with a bribe from Kaiser. She didn't care what happened to the homeless. It was just that they were in the redevelopment area, so they were being kicked out. They were outside of Kaya's interest, whether they were there or not.

 

Seeing Kaya's reaction, Sensei, who had been smiling, soon made a puzzled expression. Then, she soon frowned...

 

 

"Don't tell me, is it true? Kaya. Were you just planning to evict the homeless?"

 

 

"That's..."

 

 

"Really...? Kaya, were you serious? Then I'm disappointed~ I didn't expect a chief of the General Student Council to be a simple and sloppy person~"

 

 

"Sl-Sloppy..."

 

 

{Um, Sensei~?}

 

 

Sensei calls Kaya sloppy. Arona calls out to Sensei...

 

 

"Hahaha! Did you really think it would be over if you just simply evicted them~? Our Kaya is looking at the world very easily, aren't you? Such a sloppy plan is bound to fall apart, you know~"

 

 

"........"

 

 

"We~ll, it can't be helped. I'll help our Defense Chief~ First, let's start by writing a plan~ Come here, Kaya! For the sake of you who are so sloppy, I, Sensei, will teach you a lesson~"

 

 

Her tone seemed to look down on Kaya, but still, Sensei still started making a plan right away to help Kaya out of goodwill. She kindly helped her by pointing out the flaws in Kaya's policy one by one...

 

 

"How many homeless people are there~?"

 

 

"Uh..."

 

 

"Huh~? You don't know? Oh my... How can you not know that~? That would make the plan too sloppy, Kaya. It's a good thing I'm here, or else you would have been in big trouble~?"

 

 

"........"

 

 

"Now then, shall we prepare a homeless shelter and a free soup kitchen? Let's also make a plan to persuade the homeless people~ How about it?"

 

 

"S-Sounds good..."

 

 

"That's good to hear~ I was worried you might look sloppy. Don't worry~ If this goes well, no one will think of Kaya as sloppy anymore~"

 

 

"Yes......"

 

 

Kaya was smiling, but she was biting her lip, and a vein was visible on her forehead.

 

 

Kaya will remember this incident, where she was called sloppy and looked down upon.

 

 

"Ah, it's almost lunchtime, what would you like?"

 

 

"I'll just have a sandwich..."

 

 

"Huh~? No way. That won't do. What if your growth plates close because of that? You have to eat well at that age. That way, you'll grow up well like Rin~? Otherwise, you'll continue to have a sloppy body forever, you know? I'll pay, so let's have a hearty katsudon~"

 

 

"Yes... Th-Thank you..."

 

 

Kaya will remember this incident forever.
