Home 159: The reality of the gen-ed department.
Sidebar: The student council president brings down her iron fist!?
...P-
President!?
(...She stopped herself...?)
Mikadono Sanshimai wa Angai, Choroi Chapter 159
Oh, right, the previous two chapters are here if anyone missed them: 8 chan.moe/a/res/45443.html
I'M TERRIBLY SORRYYYYYY!!!
The person who was GETTING punched is apologizing???
I ended up inconveniencing you, president, even though someone like me has business interfering with your plans...
I'm sorry...
I've been behaving far too presumptuously...
That's how he read that exchange...?
(I feel like he's rather off the mark, there...)
He's a true Ice Goddess believer, all right...
I'm sorry.
(*Step step step...*)
A prodigy, and an ordinary person...
It seems...
The wall between those two is greater than we expected.
It's not something you can overcome just like that... Not even if you're a super-talented president...
From the normal guy's point of view,
she must seems like she's standin' somewhere high above...
Right...
Just like the distance...
Between me and Yuu(-kun)...
Hey!
Gah!
Think about it this way.
You just have to do your best to make sure that the gen-ed department doesn't become a burden for the president during the festival! Right?
(Ah...!)
Th... That's true...
If I'm going to be doing anything, I should be devoting all my strength to making sure that the president's plan succeeds...!
...All right, I'm in!
Let's do this!
Let's all work together to stop the department from getting shut down,
Taira-kun!
[The next day...]
Sorry...
You ended up having to come introduce yourself to our class alone, Kazuki-san...
(No worries)
Apparently Niko and Miwa are busy, so it can't be helped.
...The president said...
Ayase-kun and assistant Taira are both second-years in the general education department,
so it would be best for you to focus your efforts on their class.
They are the grade that will be responsible for guiding the younger students next year.
By getting this class to prove itself,
we can change how people see the department in one swift stroke.
Anyway, I'm sure even the normal students will have their morale raised and be raring to go after getting a visit from me.
Yeah!
...Although...
I've visited the gen-ed department before, but...
Looking at it closely, doesn't this place seem rather desolate...?
There are all these empty classrooms,
and I'm not sure I've seen any students so far.
(*Silence...*)
Well,
the thing is...
Since the benefit of there even being a gen-ed department keeps getting called into question,
the number of applicants has been dropping year after year...
Right now, there are only enough for students for one class per grade.
WHAT!!? (Like some rural school in the middle of nowhere!?)
Yuu! Are you telling me you've been going to school in a place like this?
Well, I was a bit surprised at first...
But, I assumed that this is just what Saika's gen-ed department is like...
...There's no way it should be like this.
...I thought that the department just didn't have much of a presence...
To think that the situation had gotten this bad...
K-Kazuki-sama!?
Huh? One of the Three Emperors!?
(*Waa waa kyaa kyaa*)
No way...
She's the star of the performing arts department...!
What's she doing in our department!?
And why are Ayase and Taira with her?
(*Kyaa kyaa kyaa*)
Apologies for the sudden intrusion.
...In other words...
Blackboard: Our goal for the Saika Festival - "We have to demonstrate the value of the gen-ed department to everyone!!"
In order to secure the existence of the gen-ed department,
we, the Three Emperors, will be working with you to help you outshine the other departments at the campus festival!
(*Crickets...*)
...Hm?
What's the matter, everyone?
You don't seem very enthusiastic.
(*Mutter mutter mutter*)
I mean, outshining the rest of the school is easier said than done...
There's no way we could ever beat the other departments in anything, is there?
Our stats just aren't high enough to begin with...
Sure, it's a bit surprising that they're going to shut down the department, but...
They're making preparations for us to transfer elsewhere, right?
I don't really think there's anything we can do about it...
We should just count ourselves lucky for having gotten to attend such a prestigious school, even if it wasn't for very long.
What's with that pessimistic attitude!?
(I don't believe this!)
We're talking about *your* department getting shut down here!
Are you telling me that doesn't frustrate you at all!?
The school is basically treating you like you're worthless!
We just don't live in the same world as *you* do. (*Murmur...*)
I want to shatter that wall.
E-everyone!
I want the department to keep going!
Me too!
And what's more,
the president is also giving us her support!
Pretty rich, coming from the two biggest screw-ups in the class.
And besides, how are we meant to go against the other departments at the festival, in practical terms?
(Uh...)
That's...
Something we can all think about together...
Oh, come on!
In the end, you're just foisting it on other people, aren't you!
Not to mention, Ayase...
You weren't here last year,
so I'm guessing you don't know how last year's *festival* went, either.
Not only did we get a tiny budget to begin with,
but after all our preparations, we got basically zero visitors...
Sign: Festival entry
Nobody's interested in seeing normal people in a school that's full of geniuses.
And you're telling us to pull off a total one-eighty this year, after a fiasco like that...?
Easy for you geniuses to say. I'm sure someone like the president could do it without breaking a sweat.
After seeing some pics from the festivals at other nearby schools online, I'm seriously just not feeling it.
I know, right!?
That kind of rosy high school life is the furthest thing from what we have here!
At this point, having seen how stratified Saika actually is...
We might as well switch schools and have a shot at actually being normal high schoolers!
B-but...
We still have a chance this year... We *have* to at least try...!
You haven't seen what it's really like, Ayase-kun.
Why are you taking the Three Emperors' side, anyway?
A guy like you, who can't do *anything*,
shouldn't be acting so high and mighty.
(*BAM!*)
Seems like *excuses for taking the easy way out* are the only thing that isn't in short supply around here,
hmm?
If you really are that unsatisfied,
why am I not seeing you putting your minds and bodies into *rectifying* the situation...?
L-like we said...
You can't make it in this school without talent...
Don't blame the talented for not being able to succeed yourselves!
You UTTER DIMWITS!
(Dimwits...)
Listen up!
There's a disparity between prodigies and normal people — that much is true.
However...
Nowhere in this world is there a rule written down,
that says that normal people can't beat geniuses!
If it's a programme you want, I will give you one right here and now.
These screw-ups that even *you* look down upon...
Ayase Yuu,
(*Grab*)
and Taira Tarou...
(*Grab*)
YOU WILL BE PUTTING ON A PLAY
WITH THESE TWO IN THE LEAD ROLES!!!
HUUUUUUUUUH!!?
Kazuki roars...!!
Thanks for reading! Mikadono Sanshimai will be on break next week.
We've briefly seen some of the students in this chapter before, see how many you can recognize.
Thanks for the dump OP.
Also
the weak must fear the strong
Lots of great Kazuki panels
Speaking of great Kazukis, here's this week's bonus image.
Thanks man, Kazuki has really grown on me over the years.
She's why I keep up with this manga. Not to say that her sisters nor Yuu dont add to the fun either
Glasses Kazuki
Will Yuuman and Yuuman Nega pull it off.
Depends entirely on how frilly of a dress they make Yuu wear.
Oh God no
Apparently there was a Family Day some time ago
ah yes family
A man and his 3 wives
*A boy and his 3 sisters.
*A mom and his three daughters.
Nice visual callback with the shadow
Powerful small package.
She's definitely going to break his pelvis
Kazuki, always humble.
Holy shit, have some self-esteem people!
Understandable reaction. That will break your motivation to even try.
Husbandmom gets shit-talked
Immediate anger
They are lucky this wasn't Niko or else someone would have died.
Taking advantage of the chance to touch their heads
Thx mate
