[Paradise] Fated Student - Chapter 4

Written by: Akira

Characters Involved: Reika Enjouji, Sakura Itoh

Location: Student Council Room
	(*siiigh*...) (It's so dreary; I'm slipping into melancholy. All is definitely not well?) (I wonder why I, Reika Enjouji, have to be stuck each and every day drowning in paperwork.) (Can I complain to someone?) (Maybe if Father dearest was told... Reika could send the heads of those incompetent faculty and Student Council members rolling?) (Just because I'm acting Student Council President, doesn't mean that everyone can just dump their work on Reika!) (Though I do get that as a prep school, everyone is busy studying.) (No one here can aspire to be as elite as Reika, so they're experiencing all kinds of suffering as they study too...) (Well, it's not like I'm unable to sympathize, you know?) (Since everyone was slacking off too much, I promptly put my foot down quite well.) (That's ignorance from youth, isn't it? Maybe Reika is also still too far from "perfect"?) (Ever since then, everyone has been intimidated by Reika...) (It's become rare for them to even show their faces at the Student Council Room.) (And during meetings, everyone just goes, "What do you think, Reika-san?" or, "I agree with Reika-san's input!") (What's the point in even having a meeting, then... Reika is incredible, naturally, but everyone's way too mindless!) (In the end, since no one offers their opinion on anything, Reika has to take the initiative on moving things forward.) (Everyone was shocked when Reika angrily glared daggers at them... and have slowed their productivity out of fear.) (So useless. In the end, Reika single-handedly gets things done faster.) (No one bothers to come here, all thanks to Reika being too superior.) (Aah, it's lonely at the top.) (There isn't a single person alive who can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Reika, is there...?) (But the big picture is that dealing with this work by myself is too much of a pain.) (It's not like it's insurmountable, but being immersed in endless and tedious work isn't very elegant at all?) (Just what is Student Council!? Isn't it just a euphemism for errand runners? The officers lost by being elected.) (But my brothers are gunning to be Student Council President in each of their schools, though...?) (Reika will also be "perfect" like her dearest brothers!) (Unrivalled in transcendental victory, standing before the shining sun at the top of the world, right?) (If slaving away is needed to reach "that"...) (Let's suck it up and go at it—It concerns my pride as the daughter of the Enjouji family, after all!) (Ugh~ But it's such a draaag...) (The point is that when it comes to things like the "School Information Session", shouldn't the teachers be the frontrunners for the work?) (Why can't Reika sob profusely at all those arrangements and procedures and things?) (I'm getting fed up.) (But Reika's pride can't forgive "last year's attempt" for skimping on the fundamentals.) (Aah, curse my own perfectionism...♪) (Uuugh, geez. It's no use, I'm donesies.) (Stuff about Kimisaki Academy's history? Reika's a first-year too, so stuff like the school's history is a big question mark?) (I also don't know anywhere that has records, and...) (On that note, I'm not gonna bow my head to my senpai and teachers saying, "Please inform me"?) (Yeah, not happening.  When Reika gives orders, they listen to whatever I say enthusiastically, but only act like they're working...) (And it boils down to them wanting me to "run errands" solo, doesn't it..?) (But it's fine as long as Yomo helps out. That girl's also an elite...♪) (But Yomo would say, "Weren't you the one who was elected as a Student Council Officer?") ("It's your life. You're responsible for your own actions, got it?" Something blunt like that~?) (But... That's because Yomo's kindhearted.) (I bet if I fake-cry and go, "Reika's sorry for being a meanie," she'll definitely volunteer to help♪) (Yomo's been Reika's faithful Knight since a long time ago, after all...♪)
	Hey! Reika-san, are you listening at all?
	... Hyaah? Wh-What? Of course I am hearing you out. All is well?
	Is that so?  Somehow, it seemed as if you were spacing out, though... You indeed appear to be run ragged—Shall I check in another day?
	No, all is well. Is there something you wish to speak about? Sakura, you've always provided our household with snacks since we were children. Reika—I mean, I consider you one of my few friends who I can lower my guard with, you know♪
	*sigh* That is indeed an honor, "Your Highness, the Princess".
	Oh dear, how mean. I much loathe that title, isn't it quite exaggerated? You're being oddly irritable, Sakura. If something is amiss, you may discuss it with me, you know?
	I shall decline... ... since Reika-san seems to be busy, and "those girls" I have been dealing with currently aren't stirring up any problems. I'd like to handle matters myself whenever I am indeed able to♪ (Plus, Reika-san has become influential.. and valuable, after all.) (Reika-san is Kimisaki Academy's "Her Highness, the Princess," because she's an incredible person of prestige. If she says something black is white, then it would be white.) (A daughter of the Enjouji Group, the blessed progeny of the largest influence on this very Kimisaki Academy...) (Reika-san is the Panacea—No, the Ultimate Weapon, indeed.) (The time when she makes a move... is the time when everything comes to an end.)
	Oh my, is that so? Hmm, "those girls," you said...? (Somehow, isn't that intriguing? Come to think of it, the campus has been rambunctious lately, hasn't it?) (If I remember correctly, a while back Sakura was like, "They took over the clubroom!) (That lot from the Drama Club joined forces with another Tea Ceremony Club member, and they've been up to no good in the clubroom!" Something around the lines of that?) (Poor thing, even though Sakura's a Tea Ceremony Club member, the lock was changed, and it seems she can't get inside the clubroom, huh?) (That time, Sakura's tearful face was a masterpiece~♪) (Reika's busy with Student Council Affairs, so anything related to the Tea Ceremony Club should be left up to Sakura, but...) (Being more-or-less a Tea Ceremony Club member, shouldn't I be doing "club activities" once in a while?) (I feel like I've fallen behind considerably, but... Trying to take it a little more seriously might be good, huh?) (Well, for starters, haven't I been prioritizing the preparations for "Kimisaki Academy"...?) (But after that... Maybe Reika will intervene.) (I won't take a breather from this boring paperwork, which almost feels like it's becoming a kinda time-killer in itself...♪)
