"Tachibana."
Horikita Manabu's gaze fell on Tachibana Akane. Even though he had just called her name simply and they were communicating with their eyes, Tachibana Akane knew what Horikita Manabu was expressing. This was the tacit understanding they had developed over many years of working together.
"Yes!"
Tachibana Akane quickly ran to a shelf on the side, grabbed a handbook, and gave it to Shikime Natsu.
"This is for people who intend to join the Student Council, but even those who don't join can read it."
Tachibana Akane handed the handbook to Shikime Natsu and gave a simple explanation, as if to say this wasn't a special privilege just for him.
Shikime Natsu glanced through it. With his photographic memory, he quickly finished reading the entire booklet.
To be honest, although Shikime Natsu had never joined a student council nor taken the initiative to learn about one, he really felt this was how a student council should be.
Most of the content was basically nonsense. Shikime Natsu mainly focused his attention on the section about leaving the Student Council. Hmm... all you had to do was give advance notice. It didn't require you to complete your assigned tasks before you could leave, nor did you have to write a lengthy withdrawal application. Hmm, it was relatively humane.
After joining the Student Council, as long as one didn't commit any major mistakes, the only way to leave was to resign voluntarily. Even the Student Council President didn't have the right to kick someone out directly.
Looking at it this way, the Student Council President's power didn't seem as great as he had imagined. Of course, the power to control who got in was already quite good. If it were Shikime Natsu, he might have charged a fee—say, one million personal points for a position. That way, if he were investigated later, he could call it a transaction rather than soliciting a bribe.
"Alright, then I've decided to join the Student Council."
Shikime Natsu closed the handbook, placed it on the table in front of him, and revealed a faint smile.
"Then congratulations to our new member."
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Nagumo Miyabi looked very enthusiastic as he applauded Shikime Natsu. For a moment, Shikime Natsu almost thought Nagumo Miyabi was Hashimoto Masayoshi.
Hmm... both have blond hair. Of course, in terms of looks, Nagumo Miyabi was slightly better. Plus, with the buff from being the Student Council Vice President, his charm in the eyes of ordinary girls would naturally surpass Hashimoto Masayoshi's.
"Thank you."
Shikime Natsu accepted Nagumo Miyabi's welcome quite naturally.
Tachibana Akane, however, stood there in a daze, somewhat bewildered. Was this really okay? To let Shikime Natsu join the Student Council so hastily... what if he chose to join Nagumo Miyabi's side?
"Tachibana, send him the details of the Student Council's work later."
Horikita Manabu spoke, his gaze falling on Shikime Natsu and Horikita Suzune, but he said no more and returned to his seat.
"Yes!"
Tachibana Akane didn't know what Horikita Manabu was thinking, but she did as she was told.
"Junior Shikime, please give me your contact information."
Tachibana Akane took out her phone, and she and Shikime Natsu exchanged contact information.
"In that case, add me too. We're colleagues now, so we should get along well. Wouldn't you agree, Mr. President?"
Nagumo Miyabi smiled, but his gaze remained fixed on Horikita Manabu.
Such a blatant provocation, and it's happening right inside the Student Council?
Shikime Natsu felt this Student Council was quite incredible. He even suspected that Horikita Manabu was recruiting new members just to deal with Nagumo Miyabi.
After all, Horikita Manabu was already a third-year and would be leaving the school next year. The position of student council president was usually passed down to the vice president, which meant Nagumo Miyabi would become the next student council president.
For Shikime Natsu, it didn't matter who became the student council president. He came to this school to enjoy himself, not to join the Student Council and work like a beast of burden.
He had now become the Student Council's secretary, a job Shikime Natsu didn't plan on holding for too long. He had already figured out how to get rid of it.
There were so few people in the Student Council, and Tachibana Akane seemed to be the only cute girl. Plus, they were basically split into two factions, which was also quite troublesome.
Not only did Shikime Natsu have to deal with the problem girls around him, but he also had to get involved in the Student Council's disputes. That would be truly exhausting.
At the very least, this wasn't the life Shikime Natsu wanted. He just wanted to happily spend time with beautiful girls, even a problem girl like Sakayanagi Arisu.
After his conversation with Sakayanagi Arisu last night, Shikime Natsu was in a rather good mood. Of course, whether Sakayanagi Arisu was in a good mood was another matter.
Through this series of actions, Shikime Natsu had directly obtained the contact information of Horikita Manabu, Nagumo Miyabi, and Tachibana Akane. It was like a friend-making campaign. He just didn't know how far he was behind Ichinose Honami.
Probably by a lot...
Shikime Natsu thought of the angel from Class B; he really couldn't compare to her.
Of course, Shikime Natsu didn't care about that. As long as he got the contact information of cute girls, that was all that mattered. He had no desire to add riff-raff like Yamauchi Haruki.
Soon, Shikime Natsu and Horikita Suzune left the Student Council, leaving the open and hidden struggles to Horikita Manabu and Nagumo Miyabi.
If it were a struggle between beautiful girls, Shikime Natsu would be more than willing to get involved. But... two men? He didn't know what to say, he just had no interest. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were fighting for control of the country, but in the end, it was just for the position of student council president. He couldn't get interested.
After leaving the Student Council, Horikita Suzune's mental state was still quite dazed. From the moment she entered to the moment she left, Horikita Suzune had only said one thing: "Brother...." And even that single sentence received no reply from Horikita Manabu.
Furthermore, when talking about who was qualified to join the Student Council, Horikita Manabu hadn't even glanced at Horikita Suzune.
It seemed this visit to the Student Council had dealt Horikita Suzune a heavy blow.
Otherwise, why would Horikita Suzune walk out of the Student Council and head in the same direction as him?
Although they hadn't interacted for long, Shikime Natsu felt that Horikita Suzune should have quickly grabbed her school bag and separated from him.
The past few times, if he hadn't deliberately done so, Horikita Suzune would have wanted to get far away from him.
"Tell me my brother's contact information."
Horikita Suzune's face was full of hesitation, but she finally lifted her wine-red eyes to look at Shikime Natsu.
Seriously... you're being a little too humble, aren't you?
Where was the high-and-mighty Horikita Suzune from the bus?
Seeing Horikita Suzune like this, Shikime Natsu didn't have the heart to bully her anymore.
"Of course I can give it to you, but... never mind. Let's go to the coffee shop first and have a seat. I'm still a little interested in your brother's situation."
Shikime Natsu took out his phone and sent a message to Kushida Kikyou, confirming that she had already saved a spot and that the other seats were basically taken.
It had to be said, Kushida Kikyou's popularity was quite good, but... why was she so obsessed with Horikita Suzune?
