"Not exactly," Tadase said, sipping his tea. "We are Guardians because that is our role in the school, like other schools might have a student council. We were all chosen by the chairman, because of our Charas, yes. But we have jobs within the school as Guardians independent of them. As far as we know none of the parents or teachers know about Shugo Charas, and few if any students other than ourselves have ever seen one that they can recall. Our main job, public or otherwise, is to protect the students. That can be from unfair faculty policies, or Batsu-tamas and batus-charas."
Nadeshiko put a plate in front of her and picked up the explanation. "Very few kids can see the Shugo Charas, and almost no adults. Generally it seems as though children under the age of three of four, like Amu-chan's sister Ami can see them, and oddly a few selected adults. But other from that?" Her head tilted and she smiled. "Only kids with charas of their own, or some that have a dream so close to the surface that a new one is about to be born."
Kukai nodded. "Course Amu didn't even want to be a Guardian. But she's got three charas, and that makes her the Joker."
Yaya made a small frustrated noise. "She never has to help with the paperwork or anything."
"No," she said dryly, picking at a sandwich, "I just get tortured by Kukai."
"That's training," he said with a huge grin.
Nadeshiko gave a soft chuckle as she set down a plate of treats in the middle of the table. All the charas floated down to it so they could eat too, except Miki who stayed close to Marinette to translate for her.
