thekingsgambitCeliss is redoing some of her translations so I might be going back to the earlier Chronicles sometime this week and sprucing them up with the revisions. In the meatime, I enjoy reading about Lelouch hittingonsuzaku being an asstard to as many people as possible.
Bokura no Hibi ~2nd Period Hour~
*Takes place after episode 6.
Translated by Celiss at the usual place.
Suzaku:Lelouch, wait up!
Lelouch: Hm? Anything wrong, Suzaku?
Suzaku: I've thought it over and I think the Student Council is a little beyond my reach...
Lelouch: Don't worry. Although it is the Student Council, it isn't all that different from the other clubs. It's fairly easygoing and there's only paperwork to deal with. I really think it'll be the least strain on you, considering you also have your military duties to deal with. ...Wait... I gave this very explanation to someone else just the other day...
Suzaku: I see... but...
Lelouch: Well, besides all that there's also the planning for the events, I suppose.
Suzaku: The School Festival?
Lelouch: Oh no, not quite. *grin* I mean Swimsuit-Classes Day, Absolutely-No-Talking Party, Gender Switch Festival, things like that.
Suzaku: EH ...... *speechless* ...What are those?
Lelouch: Kaichou forcefully implemented Swimsuit-Classes Day on the grounds that "the summers in Japan are much too hot". Air conditioners were switched off throughout the day and simple pools, palm trees, parasols and tropical drinks bars installed in the classrooms and halls instead. It was a big hit.
Suzaku: I-I see... And the Absolutely-No-Talking Party...?
Lelouch: You're absolutely not allowed to talk. You can't bring in writing utensils either.
Suzaku: It doesn't sound very... exciting.
Lelouch: Well, Kaichou was quite charged up about it, saying "This is what the Elevens call Zen*!"
Suzaku: That's an extreme misunderstanding...
Lelouch: And the Gender Switch Festival is...
Suzaku: It has just occurred to me that it might be better not to ask.
Lelouch: All the girls dress up as guys; school uniform, suits, it doesn't matter. They then act like men to their best ability and escort their partners with the usual required theatrics.
Suzaku: And th-the guys...?
Lelouch: *Fufufu.* Do you want to hear about it?
Suzaku: Actually, no.
Lelouch: Those who look good dressed up as girls receive an incredible amount of attention. They're very much in demand. I think you'll probably fall under that category, too.
Suzaku: There is something not quite right with this Student Council...
Lelouch: Indeed. I can't help but think that the one coming up with all these ideas have a little too much something pent up inside...
Suzaku: Um, where do I hand in my letter of withdrawal?
Lelouch: Too late! You'll have to resign yourself to your fate now and stick with us till the end! The more members we have, the more toys for Kaichou, and individual suffering decreases!
Suzaku: Y-you were after this all along, weren't you, Lelouch!?
My personal notes: The picture drama completely retcons Suzaku's reaction to cross-dressing here, but since this came out way before the picture drama, it's understandable. Also, I love how Lelouch manages to be conniving and a lazy bastard all in the same breath with his final line here. He's a special boy.
