It had been a long time since I lost focus in my eyes.
“……”
Staring only at the empty space, I suddenly turned around to look at the full-length mirror.
There was a congratulatory garland around my neck, and in my arms was a letter of appointment as the student council president.
I couldn’t remember when I received it.
The letters “Student Council President” written on the appointment letter weighed heavily on my chest.
To me, who had only held positions like the leader of the Patrian Adventure Unit 1 Platoon, it was a very heavy word.
“Why me?”
Bubbling up from within, something unknown began to rise.
Suddenly, I flung the garland and letter of appointment away, making a loud noise as I stood up.
“Why!”
Bang! My fist, filled with anger, violently hit the pillow.
“Why-!”
Bang, bang. No matter how many times I hit the pillow in anger, all I got in return were feathers.
I couldn’t even properly grasp how the day had passed. I only shed tears that were enough to leave facial marks on the pillow.
Eventually, without even hearing a proper explanation, all the students of the academy gathered in the courtyard.
“Aside from that, I will conclude the speech.”
After Milane Headmistress’ opening speech, it was time for the newly appointed student council president, Bendy Reppy, a fox merfolk, to give her acceptance speech.
Huh.
Taking a deep breath, I walked up the stairs confidently.
As soon as I reached the podium, an unusual sight unfolded before my eyes.
“Tigers, lions, wolves… It’s a chaos, it’s a mess!”
In the area where I used to live, Patrian, there was a feast of wild animals that I had never seen before.
What’s more, the gazes of the carnivorous merfolk looking at me were all indescribable.
No matter how little I knew, I could confirm that I didn’t become the student council president out of favoritism.
“Ah…”
Casually looking around, I checked the amplification magic tool and gathered my thoughts.
Even if there were only carnivorous merfolk here, they were still only my peers.
Moreover, I wasn’t a deer anymore, but a fellow carnivorous merfolk, so there was no need to be intimidated.
Above all, cowering in front of all these carnivorous merfolk would only bring shame to the deer species and further disgrace all herbivorous merfolk.
“Who would be scared.”
Turning my gaze away from the nauseating carnivorous merfolk, I silently cursed them while reading the speech.
Bendy Reppy, I am a proud deer merfolk. I am a proud—
“De, dear fellow deer merfolk.”
Ah, I messed up.
Romance, fantasy.
