Shiryu returns to the Student Council and is given the good news: he's approved as an official member. He'll be working alongside Mei.

The weather for today is sunny.

This week concludes the April chapter.

---------------------------------------------------

[April 25, Wednesday - week 4]

The BBs are eating their lunch. But this time, some students stay in instead of an empty classroom.

"Have you noticed?" Hyoga asks.

"Yes, there are students in the classroom. During lunch!" Seiya says.

"I wonder why," Shun says.

"That and they seem mellow too," Shiryu adds.

"I think part of this has to do with your hair. I overhear comments," Hyoga says.

"Oh yeah! People are reacting. All positive," Seiya comments.

"Looks like your makeover paid off," Shun says with a smile.

"Seems so..." Shiryu blushes.

Students around them seem cheerful, interacting with each other as normal.

"Get this! They already know you're in the Student Council."

"How is that possible? We never told anyone." Seiya says.

"People observe, and they comment," Shun says.

"I get it, but..." Seiya's eyes widen in surprise.

"I think the latter has students mellowed more than his makeover."

"It's not official," Shiryu says, surprised. "What if I can't join?"

"I'm gonna be blunt and positive to say they will," Seiya says.

"It wouldn't be convenient for them to reject you."

"Because of our background," Shun adds.

"Exactly!" Hyoga affirms.

"I'll have to attend anyway. I'll let you know."

"Good luck!" Seiya says.

"Thanks."

The school day ends, and Shiryu heads toward the Student Council office. When he enters, Himeko, the SC president, gives him the good news he's been waiting for.

"Shiryu-kun, good news! You're now part of the Student Council."

"Really?!" asks a surprised Shiryu.

"The director gave his approval yesterday."

"Thank you! I'm so glad!" Shiryu bows repeatedly.

"Mei also told us about the makeover. It suits you," Ryoma says.

"I agree. You still get to keep your long hair. Plus, those fake glasses match. It's perfect!"

Other members comment between themselves over his looks.

"You will keep the braids until graduation, right?" Ryoma asks.

"I have to for the sake of the school."

"That's good to hear. We don't want any complaints."

"You're approved, so you'll work alongside Mei-san. Sounds good?"

"Of course! She gave me the makeover." Shiryu says with a smile.

"I don't mind. I look forward to working with him," Mei says.

"The Student Council is finally complete," Himeko says.

"Yep, we're officially in business," Ryoma says.

The meeting ends, and Shiryu returns to the dorm to deliver the good news.

"It went as expected: I joined the Student Council."

"See? I said they would accept you. There was no way they couldn't reject you," Hyoga says.

"Congratulations, Shiryu. This is amazing to hear," Seiya says.

"I agree! I'm so happy for you, Shiryu," Shun says.

"Thank you."

"By the way, what do you do there?" Seiya asks.

"I'll be a secretary. Like, someone who provides support."

"Okay, I expected something bigger given how the name Student Council seems to be."

"It's nothing like that. It's just students who support each other. That's all."

"Ah! The Student Council is important in name only," Hyoga says.

"Still, the fact he joins for real is a big deal," Shun says.

"Yeah, it is a big deal. Our school experience will be amazing," Seiya says.
