Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Then I thought back to my poor acting skills just now.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became awkward for some unknown reason.

"Hikigaya-san from Class D, right?" Horikita Manabu spoke slowly, and for some reason emphasized the word 'Class D'. "What are you doing here in the student union?"

"This……"

Unexpectedly, Horikita learned to take the initiative to give herself a way out, and Hikigaya was almost moved to tears.

If the other party continued with his previous poor acting, he felt that he could consider dropping out tomorrow and never come to this school again in his life.

"Well, it's not a big deal." After regaining his composure, Hikigaya scratched his head and said calmly, "As a freshman who has just joined the school, I want to inform you, the student council president, of the current situation of some classes based on my sense of responsibility and honor."

When Horikita Manabu heard what Hikigaya said, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch slightly. He really didn't expect that this kid was so thick-skinned. He just had this shameless look of "I'll do anything to join the student union", and the next second he turned into this despicable look of "I'm telling tales, I'm proud of it".

But he did not point out Hikigaya, but just asked calmly:

"What do you want to report?"

"It's about Class D." Hikigaya's expression instantly turned into a look of gnashing teeth and great pain. "As freshmen who have just entered the campus, the students in our Class D really lack unity and discipline. In the past few weeks since the start of school, they have not only violated a lot of school rules and regulations, but also have no moral conduct that students should have. They don't study well in class and act recklessly after class. They are completely unlike what a student should be..."

"Ah."

In response to Hikigaya's words, Horikita Manabu nodded calmly, neither denying nor agreeing, but instead looking like he wanted to hear the other person continue speaking.

Faced with Horikita Manabu's confident look, Hikigaya felt inexplicably hesitant, thinking that his performance might have been a bit too much.

But in order to achieve his goal, he finally took the initiative to test it.

"Class D's behavior not only affects the class itself, but also everyone in the class. I personally have been harassed enough, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you, the student council president, to tell you about it. The girl sitting behind me, Horikita Suzune, has also complained to me many times."

The moment Hikigaya finished saying this, his eyes were fixed on Horikita Manabu in front of him, trying to see the other person's attitude from every detail of the other person, and analyze the true relationship between the other person and Horikita Suzune.

However, the god-level monster is worthy of being a god-level monster, and his strength is far beyond what Hikigaya can imagine.

After listening to his words, Horikita Manabu did not show any unnecessary expression. From his facial expression to his demeanor, and every detail of his movements, everything was exactly the same as normal.

Alas, there is really no way to achieve a breakthrough from the student council president...

Hikigaya sighed, realizing that it was a bit too much for him to challenge the student council president at his current level.

It would be better to go and ask Chabashi Sae directly and curry favor with the homeroom teacher.

Just when Hikigaya was about to find an excuse to leave and didn't want to continue to embarrass himself in front of the student council president, Horikita Manabu suddenly looked at him calmly and spoke slowly:

"Horikita Suzune is my sister. That's what you want to know, right?"

"Ah this..."

Unexpectedly, Horikita learned to point out his purpose directly. Hikigaya was slightly stunned and his original actions came to an abrupt halt.

"I'm not deliberately keeping this a secret." Horikita Manabu was very frank with Hikigaya, "It's just that there are too many dangers in this school. I don't want to bring unnecessary trouble to Suzune, so I deliberately acted indifferent, hoping that she could keep her distance from me."

"..."

Wow, I didn’t expect that you, the student council president with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are also a sister-con!

Hikigaya sighed from the bottom of his heart, with obvious confusion in his eyes.

He didn't understand why the other party took the initiative to reveal his background when he had obviously failed to successfully test out Horikita Manabu's thoughts.

"You don't have to doubt my intentions, Hikigaya Hachiman. After all, you will be a member of our student council in the future, and some trust must be established between each other."

Horikita Manabu said something that surprised Hikigaya, "Although I am the student council president of this school now, the student council is not completely controlled and led by me. What's more, I will graduate in a year, and by then I will no longer be able to have any influence on the situation of this school."

"In order to ensure that this school can continue to operate properly after I graduate, I must leave some checks and balances, so I will try to select among the freshmen."

"Unfortunately, the freshmen who were willing to join the student union either lacked the skills or had bad conduct, which made me very disappointed. I had originally planned to completely give up recruiting from the freshmen... But when the freshmen were registering, I saw you, Hikigaya Hachiman."

Horikita Manabu adjusted his glasses, stared at the black-haired boy with dead eyes in front of him, and said his conclusion, "According to the information I have collected, Hikigaya, you meet the requirements in terms of both ability and character, and you are also the most suitable candidate to join the student council."

Chapter 30: Are you here to apply for a boyfriend?

Hikigaya listened to Horikita Manabu's words in a daze. He didn't expect that the student council president would pay so much attention to him and value him. He was simply terrified.

But what surprised him most was the student council president's last words.

"I am the most suitable candidate to join the student union? No, no, no, I didn't even participate in the interview!"

Hikigaya denied it again and again. He never expected that Horikita Manabu, a god-level weirdo, would think that he was the most suitable freshman to join the student council.

For things like this, go find Ayanokouji, Kogendera and the others, or Katsuragi and Ichinose. What does it have to do with an ordinary, everyday high school boy like me?

"Who said you didn't attend the interview?" Ignoring Hikigaya's confusion, Horikita Manabu casually took out a registration form and said, "Didn't you register for the interview that day?"

"But that's just a registration...wait?!"

Hikigaya stood there in shock.

All the irrational things he had thought of before were connected together, forming a fact that made him smile bitterly.

Did I complete the interview when I signed up?

While Hikigaya understood everything, Horikita Manabu silently looked at the freshman in front of him and slowly said, "Also, what I said just now is what I think from the bottom of my heart. I analyzed a lot of things and even looked through your resume in junior high school before I approved you to join the student union. Otherwise, I plan to reject all the new students who signed up for the student union this time."

"This...isn't it?"

Hikigaya didn't expect Horikita to be so awesome.

Although there is nothing to worry about people like me, whether it is Katsuragi Kōhei, Ichinose Honami, or students from other classes, it is obvious that they all have outstanding abilities and character.

Is it possible that Horikita Manabu is not even satisfied with these people?

"Some of them may have decent character, but lack ability and personality. If they join the student union, they will be influenced quickly and will not be able to resist at all."

Horikita Manabu stared at Hikigaya. "On the contrary, Hikigaya Hachiman, although your abilities are not outstanding in every aspect, your outstanding personality is your greatest weapon. Someone like you who is inherently against this school and even rebels against the supremacy of strength will never be influenced by that guy. This is also the biggest reason why I chose you."

"That guy?"

Hikigaya noticed a special point in the student council president's words and was visibly confused.

But Horikita Manabu obviously had no intention of explaining to him. He just shook his head calmly and said, "Anyway, since you have already submitted the application form, and as the student council president, I have the final say in the selection, so there is nothing to doubt. From today on, Hikigaya, you are an official member of the student council."

"That's...ok."

Under the tyranny of the student council president, a delicate flower like Hikigaya can only bow her head helplessly.

"As for the position, I will let you do the most ordinary chores for now. After all, you can't stand out too much. If you perform well in the future, you can be promoted to accountant or secretary."

The student council president didn't care about Hikigaya's thoughts at all and was busy completing his future plans.

All this made Hikigaya feel unreal. He felt that he had become a member of the student council inexplicably, and his mood became extremely complicated.

"Are you really okay?" Hikigaya asked at last. "There are many people who are better than me, why don't you choose them to join the student council?"

"Being excellent or not has no meaning in this school." Horikita Manabu looked at Hikigaya calmly, with a hint of complexity and helplessness in his eyes. "Only the final result will determine the success or failure of everything."

"This is very important. Hikigaya, you must keep it in mind for the rest of your school career."

After saying this, Horikita Manabu looked like he had ended the topic and didn't want to continue talking.

Hikigaya stood there blankly, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

He really didn't want to join the student union because it would mean endless troubles in the future.

However, in this school, trouble is obviously unavoidable, and being able to have the student union as your umbrella of protection may not be a disadvantage.

The only problem was that he couldn't imagine what kind of expression Horikita Suzune would have if she knew that he had joined the student council.

She wouldn't be so jealous that she'd want to kill me, would she?

Uh, probably not...

……

After leaving the student union office, Hikigaya bought a drink at the store downstairs.

There was no Chiba's specialty max coffee here, so he could only buy a bottle of other coffee as a substitute.

But as soon as he opened the can, the bitter smell that hit him made him look tormented. All he could say was that if he was going to drink coffee, he had to drink Max coffee.

Gritting his teeth and swallowing the bitter coffee, Hikigaya's brain quickly recalled everything that had just happened.

What is certain is that the relationship between Horikita Manabu and Horikita Suzune as siblings is obviously closer than imagined.

Horikita Suzune must have been more influenced by Horikita Manabu than one might imagine.

It seems that Horikita Suzune's current indifference to class activities is purely because she herself has not yet realized the special nature of this school.

Once Horikita Suzune officially understands the true nature behind this school, and I push her along, I think she will instinctively take certain actions.

Thinking of this, Hikigaya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the most important issue of the leader of Class D is resolved, all that remains is to wait for the problem to break out and then let nature take its course.

"Snapped."

After throwing the finished coffee into the trash can, Hikigaya was about to go straight back to the dormitory, but suddenly saw a familiar figure on the road.

The golden ponytail sways back and forth, and the fair skin is hidden under the school uniform.

Hikigaya almost instantly confirmed the other person's identity - Karuizawa Megumi.

Seeing that the girl was alone, Hikigaya first looked around to confirm that Hirata Yosuke and other students in the class were not there.

So he approached carefully and tiptoed.

"Karuizawa Megumi-san, I'm here to return your lunch box."

"..."

Hikigaya's greeting surprised Karuizawa Megumi. The girl was obviously confused by his sudden appearance and was inexplicably wary.

After all, at this late hour, most people would have already returned to the dormitory to rest, unless...

Karuizawa Kei felt that she understood everything.

A hint of hesitation flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she finally chose to speak directly: "I'm sorry, you are a good person, but I have found a very good boyfriend, so I can't accept your feelings..."

"What?"

Hikigaya was stunned by Karuizawa's words.

Was my confession rejected?

Hikigaya instinctively felt that his dark history had inexplicably increased, but he immediately reacted the next second!

No, I'm here to return my lunch box, right? When did I become here to apply for a boyfriend?!

Chapter 31 If you can join the student union, I can let you be my boyfriend

Seeing Hikigaya's confused expression, Karuizawa Hui was slightly stunned, but she still didn't think she had misunderstood anything, and said calmly:

"Why, aren't you waiting here so late just to wait for me?"

What?

Hikigaya's expression suddenly froze.

"Humph, this trick is too old-fashioned."

Karuizawa Hui put her hands on her hips, her belly slightly tightened, "If you want to pursue me, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. This will only cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

No, there is a misunderstanding now...

Hikigaya didn't know how to answer and could only hold his forehead helplessly.

"I guess I was right."

Seeing Hikigaya's appearance, Karuizawa Kei further deepened her guess.

She smiled and raised her watery eyelashes, and said confidently, "Although I don't hate boys like you, unfortunately, you are far from meeting the requirements to be my boyfriend, so at least now, it is impossible for me to accept you."

Karuizawa Kei analyzed everything on her own, as if she was possessed by Kogoro Mori, and she kept talking nonstop, completing a logical loop.

Facing her confident attitude, Hikigaya didn't even know how to refute her. In the end, in order to avoid trouble, he simply nodded and admitted:
