Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 320 General Assembly
In the prefectural Tsuga, every year in May, the most important event is the sports meeting.

During the preparations for this year's sports meeting, another matter that was not resolved before the Golden Week was also brought to the fore.

——The general election of the student union.

This is the time when each student union has the strongest sense of existence, because all students in the school have to participate in the general meeting and cast their votes at the end.

It was Wednesday afternoon.

Following the team of Class A to the gymnasium, Naruse looked at the stage, where the banner of the General Assembly had been pulled up.

"I don't know how many candidates there are this year." Mori Jian said next to him.

"Who knows."

In the county Jin Gao, the voice of the student union is too small to reach their ears on the fourth floor.

"If there is only one candidate, will the General Assembly still be held?" Naruse asked again.

"Yes. After all, there are still abstention votes. If the only candidate receives too few votes, he will not be able to succeed the student council president."

Naruse turned his head to look at Morimi, "Then what should we do, let the previous team work for another year?"

She nodded, and continued: "Or push another candidate until a new student council president who meets the requirements is elected. But after so many years, it seems that such extreme situations have never occurred."

"I can imagine the opposite situation," Naruse said.

Senjian looked at him and quickly guessed what he meant: "Just participate in the election? Maybe you can get a [-]% support rate."

"90.00% is a bit exaggerated... [-]%, it shouldn't be a problem."

"I feel so too."

As teams from various classes entered the arena one after another, more and more people were in the gymnasium.

This is the re-election meeting of the student union, so not many teachers came over, and the venue was noisy.

"Tired." After standing for a few minutes, Morimi began to shout tired, "Let me lean on for a while."

Her shoulders sank, and she leaned over, clinging to him.

Naruse took a step to the side, and Morimi leaned away, staring at him, and just about to say something, the loudspeaker in the arena suddenly rang.

After two short blows to test the sound, a female voice sounded next.

"The general election of the student union is about to begin, please be quiet."

"Repeat, the general election of the student union will begin immediately."

Naruse looked towards the stage, there was still no one there, but he could already hear the voice just now.

"It's Vice President Yoshioka-senpai."

"Yeah." Sen Jian pulled him back, but he didn't come closer.

After a while, Yoshioka-senpai, the vice president of the student union, appeared on the stage of the gymnasium, officially kicking off the prelude to the General Assembly.

"Hello everyone, I am the vice president of the student council, Yoshioka Fumiko, and today I will host the general meeting of the student council.

The main process is as follows: the first thing is the support speeches of the two candidates..."

After a brief introduction, Tomiko Yoshioka retreated behind the scenes, and another figure appeared on the stage.

"Eh?"

Many people, including Naruse and Morimi, were stunned for a moment.

"Light?"

There was a lot of discussion in the venue, and Hikaru Takikawa walked to the front of the stage while waving his hands.

"Hi everyone~"

Morimi leaned closer to Naruse again, "During lunch, did you just say that you would come to give a support speech in the afternoon?"

"No……"

Naruse wasn't very sure either, after all, nine out of ten of the girls' chats during lunch were nonsense, and he didn't listen carefully, "No way."

Hikaru Takikawa just said hello, and the response from below was very intense, and then she began to speak for the people she supported.

"I am here today because I want to introduce to you a member of the student union who works hard for the students of Tianjin High School.

Two years of working in the student union not only accumulated a lot of experience, but also made her determined to go further in the third year, leading the student union as a leader and creating a better school life for everyone.

She is Yoshioka Fumiko-senpai from Class A of the third year. "

It's Yoshioka-senpai...

Naruse was just a little surprised, while Morimi was taken aback.

"It's already the third grade, and the time left is not to study hard for the exam, but also to run for the student council president, what is she thinking..."

"Perhaps that's what he's interested in," Naruse said.

Mori shook his head.

"Senior Yoshioka's grades are quite good, and she has been consistently ranked among the top three in her grades all year round. I can't imagine why she gave up her studies at this time and continued to work hard in the student union."

"Maybe Yoshioka-senpai can also take care of her studies and the work of the student council."

"Do you think everyone is as talented as you?"

On the stage, Hikaru Takikawa's support speech lasted for a while.

From the time when Yoshioka-senpai joined the student council in the first year, and was selected as the vice president by the new student council president in the second year, she listed in detail the various activities that Yoshioka-senpai hosted and assisted in the past two years.

"This cheering speech should have been prepared by Yoshioka-senpai." Morimi said.

"That's right, there are a few words that I guess I don't even know what they mean."

"Hmm...'words like 'daily work and evening vigilance' are too uncommon."

"One candidate is Yoshioka-senpai, who is the other?...No, it doesn't matter anymore."

Naruse looked at the stage, "The candidate for the new student council president should have been decided long ago."

"Well, please come to Hikari to give a support speech, Yoshioka-senpai is already sure."

The cheering speech on the stage finally came to an end.

Hikaru Takikawa glanced around and smiled.

"Then, please cast a clean vote for Tomiko Yoshioka. Thank you~"

In the applause of the audience, she bowed slightly, turned and went back behind the scenes.

Yoshioka-senpai held her hand tightly, feeling a little excited.

The effect of the cheering speech far exceeded her expectations.

"Thank you, Light!"

Hikaru Takikawa smiled slightly, "The next step is up to Senior Sister herself."

Yoshioka Fumiko nodded solemnly.

"Is it still necessary for us to continue to run in the election?"

Candidate No. [-] and his supporters, who were also behind the scenes, couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Senior sister, why do you have to push me to run for office... You want to be the president of the student council, and we all support it."

"You will be the main members of my next student union."

Yoshioka Fumiko looked at her "competitor", "Take this opportunity, let everyone in the school get to know you first."

"Just getting to know senior sister is enough..."

"Okay, Hattori, it's time for you to go up and give a support speech for Zhongshan."

The supporter of the second candidate was unfamiliar to most of the students, so he did not attract much attention.

After introducing the candidate's work history, he stepped down from the stage, and the applause was sparse.

By this time, many people have already had a premonition.

"Is the voting done after returning to the classroom?" Naruse asked.

"Isn't it like this in your city?" Mori asked back.

"What kind of city... in Tokyo, all the students in the school take turns to vote directly, and then the votes are counted on the spot."

"It feels better that way."

"I think it's better to shout on the stage: 'If you support Tomiko Yoshioka to become the student council president, please raise your hand', the result will definitely be clear at a glance."

Mori smiled.

While the two were talking, the candidate's own campaign speech also began.

Somewhat surprisingly, it was the doomed No. [-] candidate who came to power first.

"Ah, no motivation."

"He understands it himself."

The campaign speech of the No. [-] candidate ended soon, and then Yoshioka-senpai took the stage and started her speech with confidence.

"This year marks the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the prefectural Tsugao school. The student union will go all out to prepare for the Tsugao Festival in July..."

Sen Jian raised his eyebrows suddenly.

"I see."

"how?"

"Yoshioka-senpai is here for the Tsudaka Festival... You haven't seen the Tsudaka Festival, right? Although Tsudaka's name is on it, the scale is actually very large.

Having the experience of hosting and planning such a large-scale event will be a big plus point, whether it is for further studies or employment. "

"so……"

Naruse didn't say anything, but looked at the stage again.

At the center of the stage, Yoshioka Fumiko also glanced at Class A of the second year.

"...The student union will make full use of all social resources, as well as all kinds of talented people in the school, to hold the 150th anniversary celebration of the establishment of the prefectural Tianjin High School."

The moment their eyes met, Naruse seemed to nod her head when she saw her.

"..."

He immediately frowned.

After returning to the classroom, the committee chairmen of each class distributed special ballots and asked the students to choose one of the two candidates.

After drawing a circle on [Yoshioka Fumiko]'s name, Morimi looked back and raised his gaze.

"……what are you doing?"

The back table circled another name.

"Nothing, I just think it might be more troublesome to choose her."

And the small resistance here cannot change the trend formed by various efforts.

When school was over, the voting results were announced, and Yoshioka Fumiko was successfully elected as the new student council president.
