Well, I guess the results turned out alright.
I nodded as I took a look at the readjusted rankings. The top three Carlest companies were disqualified, and the new rankings had Plura in first with Dargan in third. Second place still belonged to one of the Carlest companies, but there was nobody left who believed any of their rankings.
Maybe I went a little too far, though. I had completely made myself an enemy of the Carlests. In any case, the main branch went on to desperately protect their position as the sponsors for the closing festivities with enough fervor that it seemed like they were ready to cut loose their child companies.
They just managed to get by thanks to Hilda wanting to protect the main Carlest branch, as well as Leonardo’s desperation to somehow get the closing festivities to actually happen. Not that the siblings’ reputation could recover with just this much in the business world. The hostile gazes they pointed at me were rather intense.
I planned on running away to my position as a company under the sponsorship of Euphylia, but would that even be enough? I had gotten the two student council members to settle down for now, but how would they take action once they regained their footing...?
“...About the information you asked for. I spoke to my father, and we will prepare everything that we can.”
Jean whispered to me as he pretended to walk past me and headed towards the neutral students together with Maria.
Well, I guess I’ll leave the Carlests to their rival gold company. I fulfilled my promise of cooperating with the guild representative elections. If they managed to use this to secure a position as a candidate, they would surely be able to keep their position as deputy representative and maintain enough power to oppose the Carlests.
