The One Sitting Next To Me Is A Real Japanese! Volumes 1

Budget Meetings Are Easy

Among the many people who were confused by the newcomer who appeared suddenly, several students, including the debating club chairman, “Eza ...”, exclaimed in shock. They were all people who knew Eza when he was still serving as 'accompanion to the chairman of OSIS' during Junior High School.

“Eza ..”

Yuuki called his name in a voice full of shock and confusion, but seemed to be depending on him. Eza patted Yuuki on the back and stepped forward to cover Yuuki with his back as if trying to protect her.

“Greetings everyone, I'm Eza from class 1-B. I'm sorry for the delay but, I'm here because the OSIS chairman told me to come and help Iroha here in the club budget meeting. I heard some commotion earlier, was it triggered due to your lack of data? ”

“Ya, that's right.”

“Thank you very much.”

The answer to Eza's question is the club chairman who can control his situation who somehow still remains silent until now. While the rest of the club made a mockery, he kept his silence and looked at Eza with half-wishing eyes and Half-believing him.

As if responding to her gaze, Eza looked around Once again and looked at all the faces from both sides before Talking. “Then, what do you think about something like this. I have some data that can solve all the problems and debates that exist. That way, I ask you to agree and start this budget meeting from the beginning. With a situation like this, I think this is the best way, don't you think?”

Hearing Eza's proposal, many club leaders who heard him became confused and some of them also seemed to be antagonistic.

“I don't think it's necessary. This annual meeting is too time consuming. It will be faster to finish if you the OSIS give our club the right to increase the budget, so the club activities will run better and the achievements will be more in the can.”

“Yes, that's a good thing. A club with more achievements should be a priority, right?”

“What's with that silly thing? If so, then the small club will not grow!”

Rows of protest voices began to attack Eza. However, everything instantly died down with just one voice coming from the classroom.

“Then, how about seeing everything I brought here? Much better with data isn't it?”

The one who spoke up was Eza. He smiled confidently while making his domineering aura even stronger in order to control the atmosphere. After that he turned and faced the blackboard, attached a paper whose size filled part of the board room, and wrote some parts in the book that Eza had brought before.

Upon hearing the unexpected proposal, “What the hell does he really want to do ..?”, such a mood began to spread among the entire club chairman present in the room, a voice that wanted to resist but could not be felt by anyone there.

However, their reluctance was immediately silenced by the words of Eza who, after writing everything she needed, “Can you clearly see what is on this board? I think everyone will understand just by taking a quick look at it, right?”

The reluctant gazes that disappeared back came and mixed with anxious gazes in the eyes of the club leaders. As if the air in the meeting room was thinning, the people who were there held their breath unconsciously after seeing something Eza gave on the writing pad.

“.... As for our side, we don't mind those conditions but what about your side? Can you account for your large budget and report it regularly to OSIS?”

Feeling the mood of the club leaders, some of the club leaders asked the other chairman. They also nodded with a fine wrinkle on his face.

“So, that's what we're going to do. OSIS is happy this is going well because you quickly understand the situation. In that case, please come to the OSIS room to submit your form ... Now, let's go into more detail.”

Eza concluded as such, and the talks between the entire party were unexpectedly able to be resolved easily.

After the discussion was over, Eza and Yuuki walked down the hallway of the club building and headed towards the main school building. The two walked quietly without any conversation or exchange of views.

“… .Aah ~, sorry about that.” Then finally Eza spoke up, because he was unable to withstand the silent atmosphere. Yuuki then turned towards Eza with a puzzled expression.

“I'm talking about myself interfering and diverting the conversation arbitrarily. I just made you lose face, ‘kan?”

“….Not really.”

Responding briefly, Yuuki once again faced forwards. However, immediately while still facing forward, “Umm”, she spoke up.

“Why you ... Making such a proposal?”

“Hm?”

“If you think about it normally, which maybe the whole club would accept such a proposal. From my point of view, it seems you already know that everyone will agree and will not protest. Even some of them give a look of trust to you.”

“Of course I'll realize it. You keep staring at some of the club leaders during the protests, don't you?”

While feeling impressed by being watched attentively, Eza revealed a secret with a pleasant tone. “It's confidential, okay?”

“? Okay.”

“Some of the clubs there, some I know and have a good reputation to convince people.”

“Eh !?” Yuuki's eyes widened grandly and looked at Eza as he found unexpected information.

“During the time of discussion, the troubled club chairman kept quiet, ‘kan? He could not say anything because someone who could break his argument was on the other side. It's a little bit of a mix of public and private affairs, but I think I'd like some more. ”

“So so ... Apparently.”

“On the other hand, the person who is able to do that feels awkward because he is aware that his Party is also unable to say anything. That's why I knew that if I made such a suggestion there, some of the chiefs there directly supported my proposal. ”

“... So yes.”

“Yes, that is what is called once paddle, two or three islands exceeded! ”

It's not that I don't feel that the club chairman there who doesn't know anything just gets his sap, and Eza added with a smile. Yuuki also slightly smiled in response to Eza's words.

“….Wait—”

But then, when they saw the girl standing at the end of the corridor of the main school building, Eza's smile turned a little bitter.

“Hey, is the discussion running smoothly?”

“Chairman...”.

The girl waiting for them was Sylvia. He did not seem to doubt Eza's existence with Yuuki, and smiled as if he already knew everything.

“.... Eza came up with something and opened up the data he brought. Eza immediately proposed some things and that is how the discussion reached an agreement …. It's all thanks to Eza.”

“So yes, thank you for your hard work, Iroha.”

Sylvia showed her appreciation without saying anything unnecessary to Yuuki who reported the truth in her true tone. Looking at Sylvia like that, the most Eza could do was to look at her with a reproachful look.

“What is everything ... Running according to your plan?”

“Hmm? Not that I have such a reason.”

“At a time when you did not say, ‘What are you talking about?’, It seems that the Chairman feels guilty in this to a certain extent.”

“Ups ... You guessed exactly.”

When Sylvia honestly raised both of her hands, Eza sighed as if her energy had been sucked out from her.

“So how? Have you decided? ”

“….”

Everything was clear, Eza thought to himself, While this time he honestly waved the white flag.

“Ya, good ... This unworthy Eza Kelvin Aditya, would like to join OSIS as its newest member .”

“Yes, glad to receive a member like you.”

Sylvia showed a smile, an alluring smile and Eza a bitter smile seemed to want to say, I am no match for her. The two people with contrasting smiles on their faces shook hands firmly. Yuuki was watching the scene from a distance of one step with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.
