The Three Committee 2

“You see, in this academy, there are three organizations that held great power. People called them The Three Committees.”

I said so and move my eyes toward Monika-sempai.

“The first one, the student council led by Monika Mercedes von Mobius. You guys should already saw her at the entrance ceremony, yeah?”

I and Iori haven’t attended the ceremony though. Well, whatever.

Next, I turn my sight toward the one who wears a white robe on top of her uniform, Stefania-sempai.

“Second, you have the public moral committee led by the saint, Stefania Scaglione. She is the current generation saint so there’s no need for me to explain further right?”

Finally, their eyes move along with me toward the snobbish man and the woman with a Japanese dress.

“Third, the ceremony department led by Benito-sempai. The woman wearing a kimono beside him is also an executive of the ceremonial department. It seems he is a noble from the principality.”

“A noble huh… I don’t know what kind of organization the ceremony department is but I certainly don’t have a good feeling about them.”

Said Katrina, I nodded along with her.

“Well, leaving the first impression asides. These three organizations are the ones who decide how things run around here. Moreover, you have to be a first-class magician to join them. They are the so-called elites. If you want to be a magic knight, court magician or getting a job that gives you authority, joining them is your best bet. From what I heard, you will receive higher evaluation both from the private and government sector just by being a member.”

“But it won’t be easy getting in right?”

“Ah, of course. Asides from being a first-class magician there might be more requirements you have to meet, there’s also the number of seats available too. For first-year students, the seats available are two for student council, three for the public moral committee, and two for the ceremonial department. There are no limits for their subordinate organizations though. The organizations that have their own subordinate organizations are only student council and public moral committee though.”

In the game, in order to join these two organizations you have to raise through the ranks in their subordinate organization first. The only special one is the ceremonial department which can only be entered after your second playthrough.

When I was explaining to my friends, the argument between Benito and co has turned difficult.

“Oi, ShittyNito……. try saying that again, I dare you.”

The man glared at Benito as if he killed his parents, Benito on the other hand just let out a sigh and move his lips.

“Aa, I will say it. An eyesore like you who still haven’t captured the dungeon, can’t study and go around flashing with your unsightly behavior should just pack up and leave already. This is all for your own good, Hahaha. How considerate I am!!”

Said Benito.

“Lord Benito, you said the truth but wouldn’t it be better if you speak with a little more subtlety?”

The oriental beauty beside him reproved his words.

“No, I think making myself clear here is for the best.”

Seeing the two from the ceremonial department like that, the student council president let out a huge sigh.

“Seems like it’s the usual ceremony department huh. Aren’t you guys lack something as a human being?”

“Ara.”

Hearing so, the ceremonial department’s ojou-sama muttered so and smile while making her way toward the president. Her eyes weren’t smiling though.

“Hoho, should I file a no-confidence vote for you Ms.president?”

“Feel free if you can, If my memory serves me right, shouldn’t that be the authority of the Ceremonial department’s head, not his advisor?”

“It might not be possible with my authority but destroying your official position is still a fair play, no? If you lose your reputation, your presidency will collapse soon after.”

“Hee, the person who will go down after losing their reputation…… I wondered who it is…..!”

Just looking at them glaring at each other already make me break into a cold sweat. They are smiling but not smiling at the same time. If this is a shonen manga then there should be a ゴゴゴゴゴゴ and a dragon or an Oni background effect behind them already.

“The class will begin soon. Let’s leave it at that for today.”

When I thought that there would be no end to this, a word of the saint dismantles the situation.

“Hmph.”

Both of them turned their faces away from each other and leave by entering a different magic circle. Seeing so, Benito said “HAHAHAHA Let’s meet again Stefania-sama” and entered a magic circle. The spiky-haired man who was arguing with Benito didn’t use the magic circle but head toward the exit instead.

After the others left, the only one here is only Steph the saint.

“Now, everyone has classes to attend, right? Let’s be on our way.”

She told the gathered people to break up and look our way with a smile. (At Ludi probably.) She then proceeds to a magic circle and left.

“Ah, those people belong to the three great fanclub……”

“As I thought Stefania-sama is so splendid. I think I will join the SSS later.”

“I think president Monika is more wonderful. I somehow feel like I couldn’t accept Stefania-sama, you see.”

“No, I think I will join the newly established LLL after all.”

Hearing the conversation of people around us, Iori asks me a question.

“Hey, Kousuke-kun. What are these three great fanclubs?”

“Oi oi, you don’t even know that much?” I exaggerated such a reaction and start to explain.

“They’re Fanclub of famous students in our academy. There are two over there, see?”

“Don’t tell me it’s Monika-sempai’s and Stefania-sempai’s?”

Did she notice from the fact that they’re the people that stood behind those two?

“Yeah, that’s the president guard MMM and the saint’s holy knight order SSS.”

“Wait, what’s MMM? Is it her initial? If that’s the case then SSS doesn’t make sense right?”

Katrina asked the best question. At first, I thought Monika-sama’s Fanclub name came from her initial too, her full name was Monika Mercedes von Mobius after all. But that was not the case.

“It was actually [Monika-sama Maji Monika] (TLN: Monika-sama seriously Monika) and SSS is [Stefania-sama Sugoku Stefania]. (TLN: Stefania-sama Super Stefania)”

“I don’t think I will ever understand, so I will give up.”

Ludi said while sounding confused. Well, at first I thought “The heck are these guys saying” too.

“Yeah, I think for its member MMM means Monika-sama is as beautiful as the war goddess. You see, the name of the goddess of war is Monika, right? They made that connection and came up with the name.”

“Nope still doesn’t make sense……”

“Okay in other words, for them they replace the Monika in the back of [Monika-sama Maji Monika] with [the war goddess’s name] so the actual meaning of their fanclub’s name is [Monika-sama is seriously our War Goddess]”

Simply put, they just do a wordplay on her name.

“I’m having a headache….”

Said Katrina.

“SSS is the same. They replaced the latter Stefania with [Daitenshi] (TLN: Archangel) so the name is actually…”

“Stefania-sama super Archangel, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right Iori.”

Iori convincingly nodded. Is it a matter you should be convinced though?

“Come to think of it, you said there were three right? What about the other one.”

Katrina asked and moved her eyes toward me.

“Ara, What’s the matter?”

Ludi who has been receiving a lot of gazes still hasn’t noticed yet but seem like Katrina and Iori are able to guess the answer already.

“I see. Certainly, she’s a beauty, her head is good and her magic is excellent too.”

Her chest is bigger than yours too…… Rather, comparing to you most women would be bigger right?

“Somehow I am getting irritated….”

Shit……..I forgot she has the intuition skill.

“That’s right Ludi, you hang in there alright?”

I forced the subject back to the original.

“?”

Ludi who is still clueless asides, judging by their reaction the others seem to understand the situation already. Some people are whispering something while looking toward our direction as well.

“I will join LLL after all.”

“Ah, such beauty, such brilliance. Moreover, she’s an elf princess too. “Uuuu….She’s the best!!”

Such noise continues to spread around her. It seems like she is starting to notice it too so I decided to tell her.

“The third Fanclub, you see, it is the one that only established recently and rapidly gaining a lot of members. The new star, Ludivine Marie-Ange de la Trefle’s imperial guard. (Love Love Ludivine-sama). Yes, it’s your Fanclub.”

When I said that while touching her shoulder a cute “Fuehh?” escaped from her lips.

I will never forget the looks of pure surprise on her face.
