"Is that so? In that case, I won't disturb you two. I'm sorry."
The smile on Kushida Kikyou's face seemed forced and quite strained. She then cast an apologetic glance at Shikime Natsu.
In a direct confrontation, Kushida Kikyou was indeed no match for Horikita Suzune. After all, Horikita Suzune held nothing back.
"So, when can you give it to me?"
After Kushida Kikyou left, Horikita Suzune's wine-red eyes fell on Shikime Natsu again.
"Why does your brother ignore you?"
Shikime Natsu responded with silence. The victor who had just driven off Kushida Kikyou didn't look very happy at the moment; in fact, she looked a little upset.
This guy really has a knack for picking the most annoying questions.
Horikita Suzune knew she could never get along with this guy, let alone be so-called friends.
"This isn't the place to talk about that."
Horikita Suzune briefly glanced around. It was crowded and noisy. Although it was unlikely anyone would notice them, 'unlikely' was still just a possibility.
She didn't want her brother to be the subject of so much gossip. She knew that even though Horikita Manabu was the Student Council President, there were definitely people who were dissatisfied with him, like that guy in the Student Council named Nagumo Miyabi. He was definitely plotting to make a move against her brother.
Of course, Horikita Suzune didn't think Horikita Manabu would lose to Nagumo Miyabi. How could a guy like that be her brother's match?
"You have a point."
Shikime Natsu nodded, then took out his phone, his gaze falling on Horikita Suzune.
"Then... let's make a deal."
Hearing Shikime Natsu's words, Horikita Suzune looked at him in disbelief. This was her brother's contact information, and he was using it to make a deal with her?
This was her brother!
"How much do you want?"
But Horikita Suzune knew Shikime Natsu was an incredibly greedy guy. She had no idea why her brother would choose this guy to join the Student Council. If he joined, he would definitely cause trouble for her brother!
"How much do you have left?"
Shikime Natsu looked at Horikita Suzune with some curiosity. After he took sixty thousand from her last time, how much would she have left? She probably couldn't buy any luxury goods, but what about normal expenses?
"You still want to take it all?"
When Horikita Suzune heard Shikime Natsu ask about her balance, she became stressed. It was still uncertain if she would get one hundred thousand points next month. If she really gave all her points to Shikime Natsu, she would barely be able to survive at this school.
"No, I was just curious. Don't think so poorly of me. Look, you were staring at me like that on the bus, and I didn't say anything. I gave you information on the first day of school, helped you see your brother, and now I'm planning to give you your brother's contact information."
Hearing this, Horikita Suzune almost laughed out of anger.
Didn't say anything on the bus? Didn't he turn around and label her a pervert after they got off? And he said he gave her information? Didn't she buy that information? And sixty thousand points for so little, what a swindler! Giving her the contact information? Isn't she still having to buy it?
He really knew how to make it sound nice.
"One thousand personal points. Take it or leave it."
Horikita Suzune spoke. She couldn't let Shikime Natsu take advantage of her again.
"Deal!"
Shikime Natsu looked at Horikita Suzune with a grin. A thousand personal points for a contact number, this girl really dared to offer it.
Even if she didn't ask him, it wouldn't have been a problem to ask someone else for Horikita Manabu's contact info. At worst, if she just pestered that Tachibana Akane who was always by Horikita Manabu's side, she might have been able to get it.
Of course, with Horikita Suzune's personality, she would never do something like that.
Seeing Shikime Natsu's expression, a flash of annoyance crossed Horikita Suzune's heart. This guy had taken advantage of her again. She had clearly offered too much.
But at first, this guy had directly asked about her balance. She thought Shikime Natsu was going to be insane enough to ask for tens of thousands of points for a contact number, so she just blurted out a figure.
"Alright, I'm leaving!"
After getting the contact information, Horikita Suzune left immediately. As for Shikime Natsu wanting to learn about her brother from her when she arrived? In his dreams!
At least for now, Horikita Suzune had no intention of having any more contact with Shikime Natsu!
After Horikita Suzune left, Shikime Natsu took out his phone, looked at his messages, and then walked toward the now almost deserted academic area.
Horikita Manabu was sitting on a long bench, and his gaze quickly fell on Shikime Natsu.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. President."
Shikime Natsu smiled, not mentioning what had just happened at the coffee shop. After all, he had manipulated Horikita Suzune a bit, so it obviously wouldn't be good to tell her brother about it now.
"What did you want to see me about?"
Horikita Manabu looked at Shikime Natsu very seriously. Horikita Suzune was no longer by his side.
"About the position of Student Council Secretary...."
Shikime Natsu casually sat down beside him.
"I want to sell it to someone else. That should be possible, right? After all, anything in this school can be purchased, so a position in the Student Council should also be tradable, right?"
Hearing this, Horikita Manabu was completely stunned. Since he had enrolled in this school, it was the first time he had heard such an absurd statement. This guy really wasn't someone who played by the book.
He had just promised Shikime Natsu that he could join the Student Council, but... he hadn't even started working yet—no, it hadn't even been an hour, and he already wanted to sell his position in the Student Council?
And he was discussing it with him. Was he planning to sell the position to him? Or was he discussing a suitable price with him, the Student Council President?
It was only then that Horikita Manabu remembered that Shikime Natsu had taken a handbook before agreeing to join the Student Council. So he had been planning this all along. If this guy became the Student Council President....
"The school has no rule against it, but... I won't spend points to buy this position back from you."
Horikita Manabu directly blocked Shikime Natsu's idea of trying to fleece him. A million personal points wasn't something he could just take out whenever he wanted.
"I didn't plan on selling it to you, Mr. President. I'm just telling you this. I will give this position to Katsuragi Kouhei from our class, so I'm just giving you a heads-up."
"Just to inform me? You didn't need to call me out here alone just for that, did you?"
Horikita Manabu continued to look at Shikime Natsu, clearly not believing his intentions were that simple.
"Of course. I hope the President can support Katsuragi within your means. We are on your side, Mr. President. Vice President Nagumo is our common enemy."
"Nagumo is not my enemy."
Horikita Manabu said faintly.
"Really? I don't think your relationship is that harmonious. Or is this how you two usually interact to improve your bond?"
That Nagumo Miyabi fellow was a bit too obvious, always wanting to challenge him, and Shikime Natsu had taken advantage of it. Even his own sister was probably part of Shikime Natsu's calculations.
This first-year, Shikime Natsu, was indeed no simple character.
