After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

After Ishigami Yu heroically saves the beauty, a popular romantic comedy is ushered in.

And Natsukawa Kanade... could only watch herself get heartbroken five times in a row, and finally stared with numb eyes at Fujiwara Chika who had given birth to almost a football team's worth of children but didn't make any money.

You are worthy of it, pink octopus head!

034. Yukinoshita Yukino

Playing games is just a way to enhance everyone's feelings. Eventually, the student union will still have to get back on track and do its job.

"The student council election is coming up soon. I heard that a freshman is very popular recently. Do you want to get some information from him, President?"

"No need, just confront her head-on. If she comes, we will fight her back. If she comes, we will block her with our own weapons. If I can be defeated by her, it will only prove that I am not capable enough." Xia Chuanzou shook his head, but his hands did not stop moving.

This was one of the reasons why he wanted to resign before. With the idea of ​​"stepping down and letting others take over", he refused to run for the next president election. However, he didn't expect that he would regret it.

It is the time when new students are enrolled and the affairs are very busy. Although there is help from Kaguya and Shirogane, it only relieves the pressure. There are still many things to deal with at the moment.

Instead of worrying about someone taking your position as student council president and being scheming, it is better to just do your job well. After all, in the democratically elected Shuchiin, the public has sharp eyes.

"Beep, beep, beep..." There was a regular knock on the door.

"Please come in."

"Excuse me, I'm Yukinoshita Yukino from Class 3, Year 2."

It is indeed a good habit to introduce yourself before visiting the student union, but this alone is not enough to make Natsukawa Zou pay attention to you.

But the person who came was that Yukinoshita.

"Yukinoshita... This is the student union, please explain why you are here." Natsukawa Kanade put down the report in his hand and replied seriously.

In the morning, he received a message from Hachiman saying that Yukinoshita might cause "trouble" for him in the next few days, but he didn't expect her to show up so soon.

It can be said that the ability to act is quite amazing.

"Regarding this point... I would like to ask why the activity funds applied for by our club were not approved."

Cold and calm, even when facing Natsukawa Kanade, a club member whom she had once rejected and who is now the student council president, Yukinoshita Yukino had no intention of greeting her and only talked about business.

"I have written down the destination and purpose of the funds in the application form according to the rules. In any case, my application should not be rejected without any response."

"..." Natsukawa Kanade did not reply, but looked at Shinomiya Kaguya.

He had no memory of this incident and thought it happened when he was not in office.

"Four Palaces?"

"I have some impression that... your club's name is 'Service Club'?"

"Yes."

"Is the document still there? Show it to me."

"Yes, President." Kaguya Shinomiya handed over a stack of papers.

Natsukawa Kanade quickly found the application form from the Service Club.

——In order to promote the spirit of assistance, our department has decided to...

The redundant text in the middle is not important. The key is the final comment with the two big red words "Rejected" written on it, and the seal of the student union president next to it.

It was confirmed that the document was not handled by him, but it was stamped with the seal of the student union president, so he had to come forward to explain.

Fortunately, he knew Shinomiya Kaguya quite well and could understand some of her thoughts.

"Before I explain the reason, I would like to ask Minister Yukinoshita if you are aware of the strict rules for establishing clubs in our school?"

"..." Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, but still replied truthfully, "Although the number of people in the club is indeed less than 5, the achievements we have made are real..."

"The fact that there are not enough people is enough to reject your club's funding application." Natsukawa Kanade interrupted immediately.

"But the previous funding has been approved..."

"That's because your 'fan club' has made certain contributions to the students of our school, so we will provide certain financial subsidies, but that is not the so-called 'club activity funds', I hope you understand this." Xiachuan Zou shook his head.

The funds for the previous activities were actually approved by Natsukawa Zou. After all, as a former member of this club, he knew it well enough and was willing to open a back door for it.

As for now...it doesn't mean he did anything wrong by following the rules, right?

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded at the side, agreeing with Natsukawa Kanade's decision. Although she felt that the president's kindness was a bit unnecessary, and that clubs like this that came to defraud funds could just be sent away, she also liked his "willingness to be kind" character.

"Of course, if you can gather the minimum number of people required to establish a club before the next distribution of club funds, I will recognize the existence of the 'Service Department' and am willing to approve some additional activity funds in addition to your application plan."

"President, isn't this a bit..." Kaguya Shinomiya reminded.

"Shinomiya, I once stayed in that club for a while." Natsukawa Kanade shook his head and explained, "So I know very well that the activities of this club have not deviated from the purpose when it was founded."

Shinomiya Kaguya widened her eyes, as if she had discovered a new world. She suddenly turned her head to look at Yukinoshita, with a strong sense of vigilance in her eyes.

This woman is very dangerous!

No wonder she felt that the other party had bad intentions when they first met. It turned out that he came to show off his presence in front of the president!

Xiachuan Zou didn't think too much about it and continued to speak:

"It helps our students a lot, solves their confusions, provides support, etc. I personally think that this kind of club is much more valuable than clubs like the 'Board Game Club' or the 'Nap Club'."

"In that case, why can't we be more tolerant towards such societies?"

Natsukawa Kanade still had some resentment towards the board game club. If it weren't for Fujiwara Chika's obstruction, he would definitely find all kinds of reasons to deduct their slightly excess funds.

Instead of having the money to develop those weird games, you might as well learn from the 'Afternoon Tea House' next door and play music and hold concerts when you have nothing to do!

"...I understand." Yukinoshita nodded slightly, then looked at Natsukawa Kanade deeply, closed the door and left.

The original goal was not achieved, but it was not without gain. At least... she saw through some of Natsukawa Kanade's thoughts and his attitude.

This made Yukinoshita feel a little strange, and she wondered if she had misunderstood him at the time. Otherwise, why would she be so calm when she saw the woman who rejected his confession? Her behavior did not match his image of a 'scumbag' at all.

Was he pretending to be nice to her? No, it felt more like... it was just his nature.

But she was not particularly sure. After all, the other party had not appeared in front of her since the day when his confession failed, and she could not make a judgment based on her previous fictitious impression.

It seemed that she needed to go find that woman again to check. Perhaps she had indeed misunderstood her...

Somehow, when she thought of this, Yukinoshita felt inexplicably irritated, as if she had missed something very important. There seemed to be a void in her heart, and a sense of loss arose spontaneously.

035. Thank you for your help, Kaguya

"It's all finally done..." Xia Chuan Zou let out a long sigh and stretched his waist.

He spent almost all of his free time in the Student Union throughout the day, and finally managed to finish all the affairs before the club activities ended.

"It's only Monday and there are so many things to do. You guys have worked so hard before..."

"Actually, it's not that bad. All the things we can handle have been screened out, and the rest are matters that need to be decided by the president." Shinomiya Kaguya took the teacup and refilled it for Natsukawa Kanade.

"A whole week's worth of stuff?"

"Yes."

"..." Xia Chuan Zou was speechless now.

No wonder he felt there were so many things going on, it turned out that most of them were left over from last week.

"If you ask me, with your abilities, you should be able to make your own judgments. Why don't you just do anything about it?"

In the days after he resigned, when he was handing over the work to Baiyin, he let Baiyin make his own judgment. However, the other party still frequently sent messages asking him what to do, acting like he was just an employee.

This made him feel very weird. He felt like a black-hearted boss who found an excuse to take a holiday and then dumped all the work on his subordinates.

It was just a casual thought at the time, but now after returning to work, I find that it is absolutely true.

"Because we have always believed that you, President, will come back to lead us, so we have never exceeded our authority."

Xia Chuan Zou: “…”

Oops, my conscience is tingling...

If it was only Fujiwara Chika who said this, he would probably still doubt it and think it was just an excuse to be lazy, but coming from Shinomiya Kaguya's mouth, that was indeed what everyone thought.

The funny thing is that all these remaining matters finally piled up and he still had to deal with them, which was really asking for trouble.

But if I can go back to the student union and continue to get along with everyone, this little thing is really nothing.

"Is there anything else for you, Shinomiya?" Natsukawa Kanade took the teacup handed to him by Shinomiya Kaguya and took a sip.

Shinomiya Kaguya's delicate body trembled, and an incredible feeling surged in her heart.

Is the president... going to invite her out to play?!

!!! What a lucky thing! This was the first time the president had invited her like this! Take a walk together? Go home together? Or have dinner together...

Where's Hayasaka? Ai? Come and save her! At least hold back the people from the main family...

His emotions were so volatile that he couldn't even complete his original plan of "pretending to pass tea in order to create an opportunity for accidental cell phone contact".

"Four Palaces?"

"Yes! Of course I'm free!"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to stay in the Student Union for a while. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll leave the key with you for safekeeping." Xia Chuan Zou nodded, then picked up his things and turned to leave.

He didn't even look back at Shinomiya Kaguya until he closed the door of the student union room.

Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."

This is totally different from what she thought!

However, Natsukawa Kanade, who had long gone away, naturally could not hear the miserable wails coming from the student union room. He was rushing to the school's breeding garden alone.

It should be said that it was because he met Yukinoshita Yukino today that he was reminded of an existence that he had almost forgotten -

"Be good, be good, Xiaoxue..."

I squatted down, stretched out my fingers, and rubbed the little guy's chin back and forth, causing it to make a cute "meow meow" sound.

Xiaoxue - a kitten that was once raised and cared for by Yukinoshita Yukino.

It's not quite right to say that they were raising the child together, but that was what Natsukawa Kanade thought at the time, and it made him feel very connected to Yukinoshita.

When I first saw Xiaoxue, it was a cat lying in the grass, shivering, with blood on its legs and its body covered with scars.

As a cat-obsessed person, Yukinoshita naturally would not leave it alone, so the two of them rescued it, took good care of it, and sent it to the school's nursery at the suggestion of Natsukawa Kanade.

Not only will there be someone to take care of them, but it will also be convenient for them to visit frequently.

It so happened that the old lady who managed the nursery was a very kind person and she gladly accepted it.

So from then on, Natsukawa Kanade often used the excuse of "seeing Xiaoxue" to ask Yukinoshita out, until his confession was rejected...

"I'm sorry, I've been busy lately and haven't come to see you much."

"Meow?"

"I haven't seen you for a while. You've gained weight. It seems the food here is good."

"Meow!"

"Not bad, not bad, you look very energetic..." Xiachuan Zou smiled knowingly, then picked up the cat with both hands and was about to get intimate with it when he was interrupted by someone next to him.

"Xia Chuan?" A cold voice came into my ears. I turned around and found that it was the second young lady.

"...What a coincidence." Xia Chuan Zou sighed, then put down the cat in his hand and gently touched its head instead.

“I come here at this time every day.”

"Okay, I'll avoid it next time."

"..." Yukinoshita shook her head, but didn't say anything else.

It wasn't that she didn't want to meet Xiachuan Zou, she was just explaining the word "unfortunately".

The second lady walked slowly to the side of Xia Chuanzou and squatted down, covering her skirt.

"Are you eating well? Don't cause trouble for your mother-in-law."

Yukinoshita's smile was indeed beautiful, but it had never appeared for him.
