The door opened.
Several girls walked in one after another.
"The office is so big." Kitagawa Marin, who didn't go modeling today, looked around curiously. "It's my first time in the Student Council office, and it feels a bit bigger than a classroom."
"Because it is indeed bigger than a classroom," Koyasu Tsubame said with a smile.
"The sofa is so big, and the table is so big." Yurikawa Hana followed along, observing the Student Council curiously, like a kitten just out of a cardboard box. "There's even a hand-crank coffee machine."
Amamiya Natsuki walked to the coffee machine, glanced at the coffee beans next to it, and greeted:
"Yurikawa-chan, come make coffee."
"Eh?"
Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:
"From now on, the full-time job of making coffee will be yours."
"Why should I be a full-time coffee maker?!" Yurikawa Hana couldn't help but retort, "The Student Council doesn't even have that kind of position, does it?"
"That was before." Amamiya Natsuki's tone was steady. "Starting today, it does. I said so."
The Student Council already had significant authority; as long as they could complete the daily campus management tasks, the school wouldn't interfere with other matters. Arranging a barista position was completely reasonable.
Of course, it was just teasing a little lamb.
"Don't space out, come make coffee," Amamiya Natsuki instructed.
"Oh."
Yurikawa Hana agreed and happily started making coffee.
"Everyone, quiet down."
Fujiwara Chika had, at some point, walked behind the President's desk, sat in the leather chair, clasped her fingers, and rested her chin on them, striking the classic pose of a certain commander.
Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at the girl behind the desk. He had to admit, she was quite cute.
Seeing everyone look over, Fujiwara Chika slightly tilted her chin up, a bright smile on her pretty face, and said in a clear voice:
"I'm definitely going to be the Vice President. Who agrees, who objects?"
"I object."
Shinomiya Kaguya was the first to speak, her right arm crossed over her chest. "The Student Council Vice President requires professional ability and competence. Relying solely on temporary interest will not be enough to handle the job."
How could I possibly agree to her becoming Vice President?!
That's the position I've reserved!
The Sheltered Ojou-sama secretly clenched her fists. That was the position closest to the President, and she had to secure it herself; she would absolutely not give it to anyone else!
"Kaguya-chan is biased." Fujiwara Chika puffed out her cheeks. "You haven't even tried, so how do you know I can't handle the Vice President position?"
Shinomiya Kaguya said faintly:
"Because everyone knows."
"How is that possible?" Fujiwara Chika turned to seek support. "Marin-chan, I'm not that unreliable, am I?"
"Well..." Kitagawa Marin evaded the question, turned and walked to the window, leaning forward as if looking out, "You guys talk, I'll watch the scenery from the window."
"It's still raining outside." Amamiya Natsuki exposed the lie. "There's no scenery."
The Succubus Girl secretly poked him with her tender white finger: "You know too much."
"..."
"Kashiwagi-chan, what do you say?"
Seeing that Marin was unreliable, Fujiwara Chika turned her head again to look at Kashiwagi.
"Ah..." Kashiwagi gently patted her forehead and muttered to herself, "I'll go help Yurikawa-chan make coffee."
"What about Tsubame-senpai?"
"Um..." Koyasu Tsubame gently tapped her lips with her finger, tilting her head. "Chika-chan is very cute, you know."
"Don't praise me at a time like this!"
Fujiwara Chika's cheeks puffed up, and finally, she looked at Amamiya Natsuki:
"Natsuki-kun, what do you say?"
"I've already decided." Amamiya Natsuki turned and walked in front of Kashiwagi, announcing, "Starting today, Kashiwagi-chan will serve as the Accountant."
Kashiwagi lightly coughed twice, her small face slightly flushed, and said, "Please guide me in the future."
The Sheltered Ojou-sama glanced at Kashiwagi. It had been verified before that this Kashiwagi's danger level was close to zero. She nodded gently and said:
"Kashiwagi-chan, keep up the good work."
Kashiwagi was flattered: "Kaguya-san, please rest assured, I will handle the accounting work."
"What about me? What about me?"
Fujiwara Chika couldn't sit still anymore. She got up from the President's office chair, grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's arm with both hands, and said pitifully, "Natsuki-kun couldn't have forgotten about me, could he?"
"No, I haven't." Amamiya Natsuki said earnestly, "Working in the Student Council, a clean and comfortable environment is, in a sense, the most important thing. So..."
"So what?"
Fujiwara Chika widened her eyes, feeling that something was amiss.
Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:
"From now on, the cleaning duties for the Student Council will be yours."
"Cl-cleaning..." Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but shout in protest, "That's a janitor!"
"No position is high or low; everyone contributes to the Student Council."
"Then you give up the President's position. I'll be President, and you can do the cleaning."
"..."
After talking for a while, Amamiya Natsuki said unhurriedly:
"Speaking of which, the position of Student Council secretary has not yet been determined. Because it involves dealing with many clubs, such as evaluating club activity hours and reviewing club expenses, it requires strong social skills."
Fujiwara Chika's eyes quickly lit up: "Pick me, pick me!"
"Very good." Amamiya Natsuki announced, "It's you."
"Hmph hmph hmph."
Fujiwara Chika put her hands on her hips, not knowing what she was thinking, with an extremely smug smile.
"Stop smiling." Shinomiya Kaguya saw through her good friend's thoughts at a glance. "Even if you become secretary, don't even think about approving random activity expenses for the Tabletop Game Club."
"Eh eh eh?"
Fujiwara Chika covered her pink lips, her eyes wide with shock. "How did Kaguya-chan know what I was thinking?"
Because all your thoughts are written on your face!
With the secretary's position decided, only one more position remained.
Amamiya Natsuki turned his head to look at the Sheltered Ojou-sama.
Shinomiya Kaguya's heart rate quietly accelerated, and she involuntarily became nervous.
(Only the Vice President position is left. Will Natsuki-kun invite me?)
(Although I'm 80% sure, there's still a 20% chance of an unexpected outcome. What if he invites someone else?)
(I won't agree! Absolutely not!)
(As for proactively saying I want to be Vice President... hold back, I can't say it! That would make me seem too eager, super embarrassing, right?)
While the Sheltered Ojou-sama waited anxiously, Amamiya Natsuki finally extended his right hand and said:
"Kaguya-san, are you interested in being the Vice President?"
Upon hearing these words, Shinomiya Kaguya's heart quietly accelerated, and she felt a warm sensation overflowing. She tried hard to control the corners of her mouth from turning up, maintaining a calm and composed expression on her face. She extended her right hand and gently clasped Amamiya Natsuki's hand, saying:
"Since Natsuki-kun has invited me, I will temporarily accept... Please guide me in the future."
"..."
"The coffee's ready!"
Yurikawa Hana's shout came from nearby.
Amamiya Natsuki said, "Vice President, come have some coffee."
The Sheltered Ojou-sama nodded gently, the corners of her lips finally unable to resist turning up for a fleeting moment: "President, please go first."
"..."
After drinking coffee.
"I have something to do at the Gymnastics Club, so I'm leaving first."
Koyasu Tsubame waved her hand, stood up, and bid farewell.
As the President of the Gymnastics Club and a senpai, this Tsubame-senpai was quite busy and had no time to hold a position in the Student Council.
"I'm leaving too."
Yurikawa Hana also wanted to leave. She had only come because she met Chika on the way and was dragged along to play. Now that her curiosity was satisfied, she was naturally ready to leave.
"Yurikawa-chan, wait a moment," Amamiya Natsuki called out.
"What is it?"
Yurikawa Hana looked over, confused.
"It's only a little past four, still early." Fujiwara Chika was well-prepared and happily took out a box of a game. "This is the Tabletop Game Club's latest game, it's super fun! Let's all play a game!"
"Chika-chan..."
Kashiwagi's voice was weak; she wanted to advise them.
Today was the first day of work after the Student Council election. They had only had one cup of coffee, and now they were going to play a game? That was too lazy!
"Then let's play two rounds." Kitagawa Marin rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her fair, white arm, and smiled brightly. "I haven't played in a few days, so my hands are a little itchy."
Kashiwagi widened her eyes, looking at the game in Fujiwara Chika's hand.
What game are you playing? You're already addicted!
Amamiya Natsuki sat on the sofa: "Let's begin."
Kashiwagi looked over in shock.
As President, not only do you not stop them, but you even lead them in playing a game? You'll be impeached!
"President, playing a game on the first day of your term, if discovered, will create a very negative impression and will not be conducive to future work."
Shinomiya Kaguya spoke, having already entered her Vice President role.
(Kaguya-san... what the Vice President says is right!)
Kashiwagi sighed in relief, suddenly feeling a bit regretful.
If she had known this would happen, she should have cast her vote for Kaguya-san during the morning's voting; she seemed more reliable.
While speaking, Shinomiya Kaguya turned around, walked to the door, and locked it, saying matter-of-factly:
"At the very least, we should lock the door first."
"..."
Kashiwagi was completely thrown off when she saw Shinomiya Kaguya sit down next to Amamiya Natsuki, clearly ready to play a game together.
Kaguya-san's image has been shattered!
She thought she would speak frankly, restore order, and bring clarity to the Student Council, but her current actions clearly showed she was going with the flow!
"Kashiwagi, come sit down." Amamiya Natsuki looked up. "Let's play a couple of rounds together."
"Kashiwagi-chan, hurry up and come over." Fujiwara Chika's voice was clear. "The remastered version of Monopoly is super fun."
"Kashiwagi." Kitagawa Marin smiled brightly. "We're just waiting for you."
"…"
Facing the invitations from the other Student Council members, Kashiwagi was caught in a dilemma.
Should she choose to remain pure and untainted, or should she choose to go with the flow?
A few seconds later.
Kashiwagi gently exhaled and walked over to sit next to Chika.
From ancient times, those who have already boarded the pirate ship actually had no choice, did they?
The first day of Student Council work began with card games.
"The Student Council has no work today." Amamiya Natsuki glanced at Kashiwagi. "The previous president finished all the work before leaving. Today, we only need to familiarize ourselves with the content and procedures of daily tasks."
In fact, the Student Council's usual work isn't much; it only becomes super busy during festivals like the School Festival, Sports Festival, or Hoshin Festival.
The students' main task is, after all, studying. If the Student Council members were constantly busy, without even time to study, naturally no one would join the Student Council.
"I lost again."
The first round of the game ended quickly. Without any surprise, Yurikawa Hana, as usual, lost the game due to everyone's combined efforts.
This Succubus Girl had grown accustomed to losing and, without any doubt or hesitation, simply extended her hand to Amamiya Natsuki.
"...Something's not right."
Kashiwagi narrowed her eyes.
Why did it feel like everyone was secretly ganging up on Yurikawa-san during the game?
Not only are you playing a game, but you're also cheating?
"A bet is a bet." Seeing Kashiwagi's hesitant expression, Kitagawa Marin coughed twice and explained, "The first round was just a warm-up. The punishment for losing is simple: holding hands for five minutes."
"The punishment of holding hands is indeed simple…" Kashiwagi looked at the incredibly self-aware Yurikawa and couldn't help but whisper, "The problem is Yurikawa-san is too skilled at this, even though the punishment hasn't even been stated yet."
Hearing the complaint, Fujiwara Chika raised her right hand, tapped her head, and stuck out her pink tongue:
"Eh heh~"
"What does 'Eh heh' mean?!"
"…"
Five minutes passed quickly.
Amamiya Natsuki finished copying the ability and released her hand, saying, "Let's play another round."
"Keep going, keep going." Having held hands many times, Yurikawa was already accustomed to it. "This time, I'm going to win it back."
Kashiwagi silently looked over, her gaze filled with pity.
With so many people ganging up on you, how could you possibly win it back?
To Kashiwagi's surprise, after the second round began, Amamiya Natsuki and the others didn't secretly conspire but played the game fairly.
After two rounds of board games, Yurikawa Hana said her goodbyes and left. The Succubus Girl had other matters to attend to and also left the office.
In the spacious activity room, only a few newly formed Student Council members remained.
"Kaguya-san, these are the work contents we need to be responsible for." Amamiya Natsuki took out a notebook. "Come take a look."
Shinomiya Kaguya nodded: "Okay."
"Chika." Amamiya Natsuki added, "Regarding the recording and organization of various club activity times, start compiling them from tomorrow."
"Leave it to me."
Fujiwara Chika raised her hand in a salute.
Amamiya Natsuki finally looked at Kashiwagi and picked up her phone:
"Kashiwagi, I'll send you all the forms and Precautions you'll need in the future. Read them twice and remember the requirements."
"...I understand."
Watching Amamiya Natsuki issue commands in an orderly fashion, Kashiwagi suddenly had a strange feeling.
Having Natsuki-kun as president… seems pretty good?
On the first day of the Student Council's reorganization, there wasn't much to do. Amamiya Natsuki and the three others stayed in the activity room for another half an hour, familiarizing themselves with the relevant work content and procedures, and then left the Student Council together.
"See you tomorrow, everyone."
Kashiwagi waved her hand and left first, holding an umbrella.
Amamiya Natsuki looked at the drizzling rain for a moment, then turned and said:
"Speaking of which, when we ran for president, you all said that the loser had to grant the winner one request, right?"
"What does Natsuki-kun want to do?"
Shinomiya Kaguya glanced over, completely unfazed.
"It's simple…"
"Of course, it's a date!"
