[Then you’ll just have to keep feeling cheated. I’m busy today, not at the shopping district, aher is my sister. Disappointed?] Sayuki Ogawa smiled pyfully.
[Without toug your thighs, I’ll die…]
[A grown man whining like this? Aren’t you ashamed?]
[I’m not whining. Just stating a fact. Whether or not I touch thighs, everyone dies eventually.]
[...]
[So, ime I get a ce to whio Sayuki-san?]
[No need for that at all!] Sayuki Ogawa huffed in annoyance. [I’m off to work.]
Shuichi Chiba chuckled as he put his phone away. At this point, he was beginning to piece things together.
The twin sisters had surprisingly simir is in a way. The elder sister liked to be affeate with delicate boys, while the younger sister preferred teasing them.
Tsk.
…
After css, Shuichi Chiba grabbed his schoolbag and, out of habit, started heading toward the shopping street. But he quickly realized that there was nothing to do if he went home so early today.
"The Ogawa’s dies are not there today. If I go back this early, should I just stay in my room watg anime and pying games?"
Although anime and games are iing, there are definitely more exg things I could be doing right now…
He stepped back from the door and walked over to An Akiyama’s desk. "I’m going with you to the student cil today."
"Eh?" An Akiyama froze for a moment, then quickly remembered they were still in the . She immediately straightened her expression and said seriously, "Is there something you o do iudent cil, Chiba-kun?"
"Nothing special, just bored and want to visit." Shuichi Chiba replied, gng at the cssmates who were still pag up their things.
Seeing that no one aying attention to them, he secretly reached out and pinched An Akiyama’s slightly chubby cheek.
Hmm, it's soft. It’s quite stress-relieving to pinch.
An Akiyama wasn’t angry; she just muttered softly, "No meal es for free, Chiba-kun, you really are stingy. I thought I wouldn’t have to get my face pioday."
Shuichi Chiba stopped as soon as he got what he wanted, releasing her cheek after two quick pinches. If anyone else had seen this se, their eyes would have probably popped out in surprise.
The usually cool css president actually allowed a gaming nerd from css to pinch her face!
Oh, that’s right, I fot to ask Mom about fessing my feelings st night! An Akiyama suddenly remembered. This is a major life event!
Mom started dating Dad around this age, so I should also make my move soon.
Otherwise, if Chiba-kun ends up like Dad, being pursued by a lot of girls, how will I pete and win, just like Mom did?
Although Mom made it sound easy, is it really that simple?
For a moment, An Akiyama felt a bit of pressure, but thankfully, Chiba-kun is a gaming nerd, so there’s no real petition for now.
"What are you thinking? If we don’t hurry, we’ll be te." Shuichi Chiba noticed her soft, pink lips silently pouting, then zoning out, and reminded her.
"I’ll be ready in a sed." An Akiyama quickly straightened her fad hurriedly packed up her things.
The two of them left the together. Only a few curious cssmates gnced over, but didn’t pay much attention.
…
"By the way, is the preparation for the sports festival going smoothly?" Shuichi Chiba asked as they walked toward the student cil office.
An Akiyama forced herself to keep a serious expression, pretending to be very posed. Her lips slightly moved as she replied, "My sister is really capable. She’s anized everything well, and so far, everything’s going smoothly."
"Then, on the day of the sports festival, ye a suitable position for me?" Shuichi Chiba suddenly said.
Typically, it’s called a sports meet iary school, anized by the school, while in higher grades it’s called a sports festival, led by the student cil. It's a great way to develop students' anizational skills.
At the same time, the sports festival requires every student to participate in some way. Even if they don’t pete in the events, they must tribute in other areas—no one is allowed to just watch.
"osition?" An Akiyama, seeing that no one aying attention, quietly g him.
"For example... looking after the sports equipment warehouse," Shuichi Chiba said, a meaningful smile tugging at the er of his mouth.
The sports festival uses various equipment stored in the sports warehouse. Guarding and managing these items be quite b and is generally sidered an undesirable position. However, faming nerd like Chiba, it’s the perfect job.
"But the job of guarding the sports equipment warehouse might not necessarily be assigo our css." An Akiyama said, scratg her head.
"No worries. This job hasn’t been assigned yet, right? Just suggest it during the meeting." Shuichi Chiba said fidently.
Though all the gaming nerds from various csses liked this job, they had no real influehe css ittee members, who had more authority, wouldn’t think of advog for them. Instead, they were more likely to push for tasks that allowed them to show off.
"Alright." An Akiyama didn’t think it was a big deal and nodded in agreement.
"The job of guarding the warehouse wo people. You just have me and Uchida assigo it." Shuichi Chiba said. He had no qualms about leaving this job to Uchida Hachiro, who was just a tool for him to rely on. If it were anyone else, it would be harder to delegate.
"That’s fine, but about tomorrow’s lunch..." An Akiyama's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"You pick three items, anything you want." Shuichi Chiba replied, gazing at her i, bright smile. For a moment, he felt a bit mischievous.
The arra for the sports equipment warehouse was actually meant for the cil president, and Shuichi khat a lot of strahings were going to happen. Meanwhile, the css president was thinking so ily about lunch…
Before long, the two of them arrived at the student cil meeting room, where most of the css representatives were already there.
There were eighteen csses in total, and thus eighteen css representatives—some had assistants, while others were by themselves.
Along with the student cil members, the meeting room quickly became crowded.
When Tsuli Akiyama suddenly saw Shuichi Chiba arrive, her eyes lit up, and in her excitement, she stood up.
"President?" The disciplinary ittee member beside her looked at her curiously.
"Ah, it’s nothing, just been sitting for a while, needing to stand up and stretch." Tsuki Akiyama cleared her throat and calmly expined.
The disciplinary ittee member looked at her with a hint of suspi, thinking that the president had been ag a bit straely…
She turned her attention to the door and saw the president's younger sister, along with a smiling male student, walking in.
A guess immediately formed in her mind—The president's sister must have a boyfriend, so the president is feeling a bit uled because of that? That’s why she acted out of character?
The disciplinary ittee member didn’t have time to think about it further. She’d been busy tely, and Tsuki Akiyama had always been decisive and effit in her work, which meant everyone else had to keep up the pace too.
Once everyone had arrived, they quickly took their seats. The student cil members sat at one end of the long table, and typically, Tsuki Akiyama would sit right in the ter.
However... Today, she was sitting at the far left, whily firmed the disciplinary ittee member’s suspis even more.
The president’s younger sister always sat in the first position on the left side of the long table. The fact that the president chose to sit here today must be to keep an eye on her, right? She really is worried about her sister.
Shuichi Chiba preteo be An Akiyama’s assistant, sitting beside her with his chair slightly pushed back, making it appear as though he was just part of the outer circle of assistants. But iy, he ositioned perfectly betweewo sisters.
"Now that everyone is here, let’s get started. The petitios for this year’s sports festival have already been finalized, and the venue divisions and material procurement have all been discussed..."
At this point, Tsuki Akiyama suddenly paused, turned her gaze to the student cil atant, and her expression turned ice-cold. "The procurement of materials is going smoothly, right? We don’t want a of what happened with the previous student cil."
