[Short-Short] 'Maiden Peace Treaty'

[Short-Short] 'Maiden Peace Treaty'

'Listen, if the boys ever find out about this, it would mean our social death.'

In an empty classroom after school, Student Council President Reina spread a top-secret document on the desk in front of the gathered female representatives from each grade.

The title of the document was—'Maiden Peace Treaty'

The boys of the world are mistaken. They think girls always smell like citrus, never have their stomachs growl, and sleep like angels with stuffed animals at night.

But reality is a battlefield.

It starts with morning fuzz removal, the secret 'butt rubbing' during class, and the desperate camouflage of masking gastrointestinal friction sounds with coughs. And then at night, after locking the bedroom door, the 'grand release of air' and sweet, bittersweet nighttime self-care—.

'This treaty is the final line of defense to protect the boys' dreams while maintaining our dignity and health.'

Reina's eyes shone sharply behind her glasses as she read each article aloud.
【Article 1: The Rite of Rapid-Fire Sound Princess】


【Article 1: The Rite of Rapid-Fire Sound Princess】

Anyone who detects signs of excretion sounds in the restroom, especially 'voiced' or 'semi-voiced' sounds, must immediately press the sound-masking device repeatedly to block the entire space with running water sounds.

【Article 2: Mutual Non-Interference in Silent Accidents】

During the silence of class, if someone's 'silent' accident fails and a faint sound like a 'voiced' or 'semi-voiced' sound leaks out, the surrounding girls must immediately drag their chair legs across the floor to create a 'screech' and quickly fabricate a false accusation.


【Article 3: Preservation of the Night Sanctuary】

Closing the room door with a click and finding peaceful sleep in bed while letting out nasal, geminate, long, or contracted sounds is an inviolable right granted to all girls. We must thoroughly pretend not to know about each other.
'...No objections, President.'



Sakura, the first-year representative, nodded with a solemn expression.

'I ate too much yakisoba bread at the cafeteria during lunch today... my absolute defense line was about to break. But thanks to you, President, playing the sound-masking device at full volume in the next stall, I was saved.'
'Don't mention it. That was also for me to mask my own 'semi-voiced' sounds.'

Reina smiled quietly and made the sign of the cross in front of her chest.

They know.

That they fight against air pressure every day,
And that at night, there is a time,
That they don't want anyone to know about.
'Everyone, sign the blood oath.'

Pens raced across the paper.

It was a blood alliance that supports a beautiful world beneath the surface, one that will never be revealed to boys.
The moment they opened the classroom door after signing the treaty, they shifted back into their usual faces of 'perfect, sweet, and slightly vulnerable lovely girls.'
'See you all tomorrow!'

While letting their cute, bell-like voices ring out,

They walked away with composed expressions.

With portable deodorant spray and their own secrets tucked firmly inside their bags.
