One week after enrolling in Shuchiin Academy as a special scholarship student, Shirogane had already regretted that he had come to a school he should not have. The students around him were elites born into famous families. Shirogane, who is from a modest household and enrolled from a school outside of Shuchiin's track, couldn't even find a friend to eat with, so he quietly kills time away from the cafeteria. Just as Shirogane's miserable emotions explode, an upperclassman with a student cap appears in front of him. A shining golden fourragere lays across his chest as proof of student council president. And he says that he's come to recruit Shirogane into the student council.
I just laid out a bunch of petty excuses
and stopped thinking at all.
.ذكرت بعض الأعذار التّافهة وتوقفت عن التفكير تمامًا
Ich redete mir eine Ausrede nach der anderen
ein, anstatt mein Gehirn einzuschalten.
Puse una excusa
Me he inventado una excusa
J’étais trop concentré à me plaindre
pour chercher une solution.
Ho solo ripetuto scuse per non farlo
Fiquei criando desculpas
em vez de ligar meu cérebro.
Придумывал оправдания, 
но не искал решения.
