After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

That being said, Miss Angel looked timid and didn't look very happy.

"Did Shiina do something to make me angry?"

"Eh?! Why are you asking that suddenly?" Shiina Mahiru covered her mouth with her hand, looking incredulous.

"Well... maybe it's because I know Shiina quite well? For example, the aspect of not being able to hide emotions..." Natsukawa Kanade reminded.

Ever since he entered the room, the little expression on Miss Angel's face has not stopped, and her body looks very stiff, not like she is relaxing at home...

Of course, it could be that he misjudged it, but even if he didn't say it out loud, he would still care about it.

"Don't be nervous Shiina, I'm just asking casually, don't tell me if it's inconvenient."

"That's not the case, but I'm not sure if Kanade will be angry if I say it." Miss Angel glanced at him weakly.

"Of course not. You can rest assured about that." Xiachuan Zou comforted.

He definitely has never lost his temper with Shiina Mahiru. Even when his confession was rejected, he just felt that he didn't do well enough and was not suitable. If you want to say that there is anyone around who can really make him angry... at least Shiina should not be able to do it.

"Um... when I was hanging out with Kato-san, she shared some photos of Kanade with me..."

"Photos..." Xia Chuan Kanade raised an eyebrow. It shouldn't be a big deal if he just looked at the photos...

"May I ask what kind of photo it is?"

"Swimsuits, theatrical costumes, etc..."

"..."

At first, Natsukawa Kanade thought it was impossible. How could Kato take photos like that? But when he thought about it carefully, when he joined the club, he did take various photos as materials...

But the thing is, you two were hanging out, so what was the matter with looking at his pictures?

"Can you show it to me?" Xia Chuan Zou asked.

Miss Angel hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly and handed over the phone.

"..." Xia Chuanzou scanned the pictures one by one, and felt more and more uncomfortable.

They were indeed all taken during the club, and they weren't weird photos. He just wore certain clothes and did certain actions in certain scenes. At most, they were a little embarrassing...

“Can you delete it?”

"Hey! Kanade said he wasn't angry!"

"No, I'm really not angry..." He just felt ashamed to face people.

Many people must have had this experience: their experiences as a naughty kid were filmed and shown to their friends, or their appearance in their middle school years was photographed as a souvenir. At the time, they must have thought it was nothing, but when they looked back on it later...

Explosion of shame.

This is how Natsukawa Kanade feels now.

It is even more shameful than having all the clothes stripped off for others to admire. This is not because it is physically unacceptable, but simply because it is psychologically unbearable.

It's okay for people like Kato, at least they understand what's going on, but if Shiina sees it, it's hard not to think that she is someone with some weird hobbies.

"These are all the material photos I took at that time... um, for making games. They are definitely not some weird hobbies of mine. Can you understand..." Xiachuan Kanade sighed and then asked, "So you really can't delete them?"

"Gum... Since Zou doesn't like it..." Miss Angel looked very disappointed.

In fact, if it were Natsukawa Kanade himself, he would also feel very reluctant. After all, if his phone had a few pictures of his friends doing funny or embarrassing things, he would not be willing to delete them and would definitely keep them as a lifelong commemoration.

But Shiina looks really pitiful. Her slightly drooping eyelashes, protruding lower lip, and slightly puffed face all reveal her inner reluctance.

Just looking at this scene, even Natsukawa Kanade himself would feel that it was a bit cruel.

"..." Xia Chuan Zou quietly returned the phone, staring at the TV program, pretending not to care, "Don't show it to others."

"Hmm?" Shiina Mahiru was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted and smiled sweetly at him.

"Well! Of course not!"

"..."

Natsukawa Kanade stopped talking, thinking about minimizing his presence as much as possible so that he wouldn't be so embarrassed after Shiina's excitement died down.

But what he didn't expect was that Miss Angel quietly moved over and sat closer to him, leaning her head on his shoulder, and in front of him, she held up her phone and looked through the photos.

"..."

It's a fallen angel, right?! How despicable, Ms. Shiina! I didn't expect you to have such a bad heart!

Silent all night.

The happy weekend passed quickly, and it was time to work hard again.

On Monday, Xia Chuanzou got up early and first went to the agreed location to meet with the "former" student union members before setting off to the school auditorium together.

Along the way, he attracted a lot of attention and pointing from students, but when they looked over, they immediately fell silent, so they felt like "everyone was a bad guy."

In fact, this is indeed the case. The fierce-eyed Shirogane, the gloomy-looking Ishigami, the cold Shinomiya Kaguya, and the stern Natsukawa Kanade. If you remove the smiling mascot Fujiwara Chika, they can be said to be a group of bad guys.

Then, their team ran into Isshiki Iroha and her team who were also participating in the election.

Everyone in the service department.

072. Election

A fierce fight broke out between the two teams. From personal appearance to the core of the members, all means that could be used to attack were used without exception. The battle was so noisy that even the top leaders were alarmed and had to intervene to stop it.

Known in history as the "Hidechiin First Turmoil"

There is no way such a thing could happen.

They met and nodded to each other, that's all. The two sides didn't even have a single word of conversation. They just greeted each other and then walked into the waiting room.

In fact, there are only 10 minutes left before the election. They don't have the extra time to do meaningless things. The only thing they should do at this moment is to make the final adjustment of their mentality before the speech.

According to the order of drawing lots, the first person to be drawn was Isshi Iroha, followed by Iino Miko who was in the same grade as her, and finally Natsukawa Kanade. Here, he had everything, including the right time, the right place, and the right people.

After a while, the official election began. The first to come up was a cheering speech, and the person sent by Isshi Iroha...

Yukinoshita Yukino.

Unsurprising choice.

From the moment he saw their team just now, Xiachuan Zou understood something -

First and foremost, the question is why Isshi Iroha became a candidate.

Aside from the low probability of her own action, the more likely possibility is that she had offended a small group in the class or some other small group, so they jointly nominated her as a candidate in the hope that she would be defeated and become a laughing stock. Unwilling to accept this, Isshiki Iroha went to the Service Club for help.

From the fact that Isshiki Caiyu had previously pestered him to learn "how to be a good student council president", it can be seen that in the face of this action that can almost be described as school bullying, the other party did not choose to apply to the school to withdraw from the election, but decided to resist and act seriously for the election.

But I don't know if it was her own wish or if Yukinoshita and the others were behind it, but things turned out like this.

The only thing that is certain is that everyone in the service department was definitely involved in their publicity plan in the previous few weeks.

In other words, that idiot Hachiman actually didn't tell his friend about such a serious incident, causing him to be suspicious and think that the group of staunch pure school people were behind it...

I've decided that after the election is over, I'm going to blackmail him, or at least make him give me back all his pocket money for this week.

Yukinoshita Yukino's speech ended very quickly. In Natsukawa Kanade's opinion, it was a standard performance. Whether it was the infectiousness or anything else, if it were in other schools, it would probably receive unanimous praise.

But this is Shuchiin.

Then it was the turn of Iino Miko. Her supporter was Daibutsu Kobota, and the content of her speech was very ordinary and not worth mentioning.

Then there is Kaguya Shinomiya.

"President, can you give me a blessing?" Kaguya Shinomiya, who was supposed to go on stage directly, suddenly looked at him with a hopeful expression, which surprised Natsukawa Kanade.

"Of course, good luck to you, Shinomiya."

"Yes, it's my pleasure."

Then, his supporter, Kaguya Shinomiya, came on stage.

After the uneventful speech, more and more people in the venue became drowsy, but all this did not affect Kaguya Shinomiya's mentality at all.

"Ding--"

Along with the loud sound of knocking on the microphone, the attention of the entire venue was focused on Shinomiya Kaguya. At this moment, she also revealed a smile that was never seen in normal times.

"Good morning everyone, I'm Kaguya Shinomiya, who is in charge of giving a support speech for the candidate for president Natsukawa Kanade..."

What happened afterwards was very clear. Kaguya Shinomiya, who already had a large number of supporters, grabbed everyone's attention and almost launched a dimensionality reduction attack on the first two cheerleaders.

Unlike Daibutsu's empty talk and his high-performance presentation that completely suppressed Yukinoshita's, Kaguya fully displayed his achievements over the past few months on the screen - at this point, victory was already decided.

After all the cheering speeches are over, it is time for the candidates themselves to speak.

Isshi Iroha is worthy of being the one who gets 30% support rate. Even though her achievements should be completed with the help of Yukinoshita and others, she is indeed capable. After studying for these days, she has learned a lot of the essence - the so-called strengths and weaknesses. Her speech at this moment fully demonstrated her energetic personality.

Even after Kaguya Shinomiya's powerful speech and campaigning, she still attracted a lot of attention and support.

Then there was Iino Miko...

Contrary to her usual behavior, when everyone else was behaving normally, this freshman suddenly became abnormal.

She had stage fright.

In this auditorium, facing the gazes of most of the school's students, she was unable to utter a word. She tightly clenched the speech in her hands, but could not open her mouth.

Even though there were occasional laughs from the audience below the podium, she remained silent...

"It still happened..."

"Ishigami...what's going on?" Natsukawa Kanade looked at Ishigami Yu who suddenly spoke and asked him.

"Iino Miko...is not used to speaking in front of people. It's always like this, and it's even more so after every election.

Isn't it funny? The top student in the school is a little prude who doesn't change her ways. She usually points fingers at others with an arrogant look. Now the thorns in her eyes can make her look bad. It's hard for those who usually dislike her not to laugh at this moment.

Of course I am a little dissatisfied with her, but... people who work hard are laughed at..." Ishigami's eyes were a little dark.

The next moment, Xia Chuan Zou patted his shoulder and said, "I understand. Leave it to me."

"Just win the election in a way that doesn't make her a laughing stock, right?"

Maybe it was because of his overflowing sympathy, or maybe it was because he saw Ishigami's concerned look and wanted to help, or maybe...

I remembered the times when my efforts were denied by others.

It’s just that the other side will face more people, so the damage they suffer will be greater.

Perhaps he misunderstood. Maybe she was born talented and didn't work hard. But the fact that she could achieve the "No. 1 in all previous academic years" in Shuchi Academy, which was full of geniuses, showed that the effort she put in was not comparable to that of ordinary people. He himself was well aware of this, not to mention the flyers she carefully made and the hard work she put in during the promotion.

After all, she was a student in the academy, and he had seen her propaganda in the academy many times. However, he never imagined her as an opponent at that time. At most, he was a little afraid of her alliance with Isshi Iroha.

An opponent who is afraid of fighting is definitely not a strong enemy, that is what Natsukawa Kanade believes.

Therefore, if he could help her and resolve this dilemma, it would not be simply aiding the enemy, but would improve his own evaluation while allowing her to successfully complete her speech. What's more, he might be able to increase Isayuki's support rate in one fell swoop.

So, Xia Chuan Zou walked up to the podium, picked up the microphone and said in a deep voice:

"quiet!"

Then, the noise below disappeared and everyone looked at him.

"Everyone, you are all students of Shuchi Academy. You are the proud students of this academy. You should know what 'respect' means."

"You can have your own ideas and opinions, but those words should all be turned into votes in your hands. Let the facts speak for themselves, instead of disrupting the speaker's thoughts before the speech is over."

Then he looked at Iino Miko again.

"There are still 15 minutes left in the speech, but from my point of view... maybe it's a waste of time?"

He has created the perfect atmosphere, but he cannot continue like this, because such a scene will not give the other party more courage and confidence.

"Mandatory shaving of heads, no strange clothing... Do you think such a stupid convention can really help you get votes?"

He wanted to meet the other person's eyes, but this Iino classmate didn't dare to raise his head at all. Not only did he not dare to look at the people in the audience, he couldn't even look directly at him. His eyes remained on his feet the whole time.

"So... stupid...?"

"Isn't this stupid? In this day and age, if you force someone to shave their head, everyone will hate it, right? Or... you don't think so?"

"Of course! Of course I don't..."
