Why Is the Prettiest Girl in School Trying to Talk to a Loner Like Me during Lunch Break? - Chapter 129 - Campaign Car Yamada

Chapter 129 – Campaign Car Yamada

“Now then, we will begin the speeches from each candidate. Students, please move to the speech venues of the candidates you’re interested in.”

[School Courtyard]

Ishida-kun’s Speech Space

“When I become student council president, I’ll first review each club’s budget and use those savings to improve the school’s heating equipment!”

“””KYAAAA! Ishida-kuuun♪””” ←Student audience

[School Grounds]

Asakura-san’s Speech Space

“When I become student council president, I’ll incorporate ideas from our earlier debate—opening the cafeteria as an after-school café, and expanding not just the shop but also the variety of vending machines for drinks and snacks. We’ll use those profits to improve the cafeteria.”

“””WAAAAAAAA! Asakura-saaaan!””” ←Student audience

[Parking Lot Behind School Building]

Andou-kun’s Speech Space

“…Hey, Class Rep.”

“…What is it, Andou-kun?”

“This… there’s no point giving a speech here, is there?”

[Student Audience: 0 people] Silence

“Indeed.”

(As expected of Andou-kun. Despite his support rate increasing, nobody came to his speech venue. That 6% support rate isn’t just for show…) (Class Rep)

“Also, why is my speech venue the only one in such an unpopular, lonely place!? Ishida gets the popular courtyard rest area, and Asakura-san gets the wide grounds right in front of the school! Meanwhile, I get ‘parking lot behind the school building’… Only staff who drive to school even know this place exists!

Actually, I just found out today that there’s even a parking lot behind the school!”

“Well, nobody usually goes behind the school building… At this rate, other students might not even know where you’re giving your speech. Whoever arranged these venues must have a grudge against you.”

“The person who arranged this…”

‘Ohohoho! Someone like you won’t draw crowds anyway, so giving you a large space would just waste land!’ FLAT!

“Hmm, I feel like there’s one particular person who comes to mind…”

(For a moment, the words of that fake-cupped person flashed through my mind… but surely not?) (Andou)

“But what do we do? If nobody comes, there’s no point in giving a speech.”

“Well… I have Yamada running around recruiting at various locations, so maybe someone will show up.”

“Yamada, huh… I’m already worried about our recruitment personnel.”

“Even so, we don’t have anyone else, so what can we do? I never expected much from Yamada anyway, so if even one person shows up, it’s a win.”

“True.”

Meanwhile, Yamada:

“Hey! It’s me, Yamada! I’m running around helping with the election speeches! Thanks for your support! Oh! I’m Yamada! Everyone, listeeeeen! We’re having an electiooooon! We’re giving speecheeeees! Please definitely cooooome!”

“””Shut uuuup! Yamada, be quiet!”””

“Everyone, thanks for always supporting us! I’m the Class Rep.

Now then, what’s in store for next time on ‘Nazekanno’?”

Yamada’s publicity blitz ends in total failure, with Andou-kun’s speech venue approaching closing time without a single attendee.

But then some underclassmen show up, looking to mock the pathetic candidate—

Next time on Nazekanno: “Heckling” – Don’t miss it!

“Hmm, if the Class Rep is a melon, then this girl would be a lemon.”
