Start with Hayasaka Ai

"Ohhh, let's get the Bongshin Festival done... huh??"

The girl looked up suddenly, suspecting that she had heard it wrongly.

That's it? That's it? !

I've already prepared myself mentally and emotionally, but the only thing I end up with is a non-erotic or non-violent condition.

Could it be that her body, her own charm as a woman, did not arouse Baiyin's inner desire at all?

Not even a little bit?

The girl frowned.

She should be thankful that she doesn't have to use her body as a bargaining chip, but Kashiwagi Nagisa couldn't help but feel a little unwilling deep down.

"Really...are you just running for the Consecration Committee?" she confirmed cautiously.

"What else?" Baiyin raised an eyebrow. "Do you want me to make even more 'excessive' demands?"

"No, no!" The girl stood up suddenly. "I, I'll go get ready now!"

Kashiwagi Nagisa was completely fleeing and passed by Shinomiya Kaguya who had calmed down on the rooftop and was about to go back.

"Ah, this kid is so impatient."

Shinomiya Kaguya sighed and returned to the student union office.

When he saw that Baiyin was the only one on the sofa, Sigong Mengde's paranoia began to flare up again.

Fujiwara Chika is not here, which means that the two people just now... were alone?

Coupled with the look of Kashiwagi Nagisa running out in a hurry, it is hard not to make associations.

Even with cameras, you can't be completely careless.

She sat directly next to Baiyin.

Under normal circumstances, this would require considerable courage for Kaguya Shinomiya, since it was a public place after all... but she couldn't care less at the moment.

"President, what were you and Kashiwagi-san talking about? She ran away so quickly. Did you say something strange to her?"

She looked carefully into Baiyin's eyes, trying to judge by his expression.

If this were the Ace Attorney game, the [Interrogation] bgm should be playing at this moment.

Bai Yin said calmly, "How could that be? I just asked her to run for the Fengxin Festival Committee and help make this Fengxin Festival a success. After all, she has a good personality and abilities, and she can be of great help to us."

Baiyin did not intend to personally perform this Fengxin Sacrifice. Knowing how to use people well is also a talent that a leader must possess.

If one does everything personally like Zhuge Liang, he will most likely end up exhausted.

Shinomiya Kaguya also understood this and nodded slightly. "I see, that's a good idea. However, looking at Kashiwagi-san just now, she seemed a little flustered. Could it be that you, President, have threatened her in some way?"

Bai Yin shook his head and said, "I didn't threaten her. I just explained the importance of this matter to her and hoped that she would contribute to Feng Xin's sacrifice. She must have overthought it."

In fact, even if he had no need for Kashiwagi Nagisa, he would not say anything nonsense. What he said to Kashiwagi Nagisa just now, "You don't want to...", was just a joke.

The interrogation is over and the misunderstanding is resolved.

"That's exactly what happened!"

Kaguya Shinomiya, whose mood had returned to normal, looked around, and as if in a state of excitement, she quietly moved a little closer to Shirogane, and stuck completely to his side.

With just such a simple movement, her eyeballs moved rapidly in all directions eight times.

I can only say that it feels very stealthy.

Kissing under the camera is still too much of a challenge for Kaguya Shinomiya's psychological endurance, but if it's just a simple leaning and clinging, then there's no big problem.

She even pretended to hold a document in her hand. If someone suddenly broke in, she could use the fact that they were discussing the contents of the document to explain why they were so close to each other at the moment.

Being able to anticipate the enemy's moves and do one's best instead of leaving everything to fate, this is Kaguya Shinomiya's way of love!

"President~"

Shinomiya Kaguya called out in a slightly coquettish tone, her voice so sticky that it seemed to create ripples in the air.

She raised her head slightly and looked at Baiyin with a full gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly because of nervousness and shyness.

"President, can you tell me about that?"

"say what."

"It's just sweet talk like saying you like me."

"..."

Seeing Shirogane fall into speechless silence, Kaguya Shinomiya felt a little unhappy.

In fact, she didn't really need to hear any vows of love; those were too fake.

But if Shirogane can't even say a few exaggerated love words, then Kaguya Shinomiya will feel that she may not be that important in the other person's heart.

Just thinking about it, the girl couldn't help but bite her lip, "As expected, President, you will find me like this annoying, right?"

"That won't happen."

Baiyin grabbed her hand and said, "You can confirm the fact that I like you countless times in this way."

Hearing these simple and plain love words without any rhetoric, Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes suddenly widened, and a special effect of flowers blooming instantly appeared behind her.

This is it! This is what she wants!!

Was it that the silence just now was just waiting for me to ask that question?

That's awesome, President. I like you too...

But before the girl could open her mouth, there was a knock on the door.

Shinomiya Kaguya moved a little further away from Shirogane, adjusted her expression and said, "Please come in."

"Jiang Jiang, I have found all the information about the Fengxin Festival in the past ten years--"

Chika Fujiwara appeared on stage with a smile on her face, holding a bunch of brown paper bags.

"Each document contains comprehensive activity plans, pictures, processes, and summaries. With just a few minor modifications, it can be flexibly applied to this Heart Offering Ceremony."

"Well, hard work."

Shirogane took the brown paper bag and gave some to Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara.

"Everyone, take a look at this first and bring up any interesting ideas or things that need attention... Speaking of which, Momo-chan hasn't been coming to the student council often lately. Chika, you're in the same class with her, do you know why?"

"I don't know, maybe something happened at Momo-chan's home?" Fujiwara Chika replied.

Then, as if speaking of the devil, the door opened directly, and it was none other than Longzhu Tao, who had been a bit elusive recently.

At this moment, she cut her hair a little shorter, from waist length to shoulder length, which made her look a lot neater.

"As soon as I came in, I heard Momo-chan, Momo-chan. Doesn't that nickname only last for one summer vacation?!"

The girl complained as she sat down on the sofa and took two documents from Baiyin's hand and started reading.

Even without knowing what happened before, she could infer that this was something related to the Heart Sacrifice.

Baiyin glanced at her and asked, "Has anything happened recently?"

"Well, recently a mafia organization has risen up and clashed with us. Several relatives have died in our family and we need to arrange funerals. Even though I'm still a high school student, my grandfather insisted that I try to watch and learn from the sidelines."

"Red and white events are important matters in life. You really need to learn something about them in your situation."

No matter how much the underworld tries to whitewash itself, it is still a violent organization. There will always be conflicts over territory, leading to bloodshed and even death.

If Longzhu Tao is in danger, her crisis intuition can sense it and she can quickly appear by her side, but her relatives are powerless to do anything.

Long Zhutao chuckled and said, "Well, it doesn't matter what happens. After all, when a person dies, they are dead. Without consciousness and soul, no matter how well-organized the funeral is, it actually means nothing to the deceased."

"Not necessarily. What if there really is an afterlife? Or maybe after death, we become spirits and wander around our corpses."

Baiyin casually killed an evil spirit that floated in from the window and absorbed its pure soul power without leaking any power.

"Furthermore, funerals are more meaningful to the living. They provide an outlet for the living to express their grief. Through funerals, people can bid farewell to the deceased in a formal way and find a place to put their inner grief."

"Ah."

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded slightly and continued, "Yes, funerals are also a form of inheritance, carrying the cultural traditions of family and society."

Fujiwara Chika tilted her head and said, "Funerals also bring together family and friends, allowing everyone to remember the deceased and comfort each other. In this process, the bonds between people become closer and the emotions become deeper."

“…Bang.”

Long Zhutao reached out and patted the table.

"Why are you all so serious about discussing the funeral? I'm here to prepare for the Fengxin Festival. Let's get straight to the point."

She continued.

"First, there's the issue of funding that I'm responsible for. The total amount hasn't changed much from previous years, and the prices of the goods sold at the club's stalls need to be relatively low. We can't aim for profit. Of course, if you really want to raise the prices, that's fine. I can add in the labor costs when doing the accounting."

After discussing for a few more minutes, Long Zhutao received a phone call. It was said that someone had died and a funeral was needed, so she left in a hurry.

It was such an eventful time.

After leaving the student council, Longzhu Tao's expression was a little gloomy. She could certainly sense that the relationship between Shinomiya Kaguya and Shirogane had undergone a qualitative breakthrough.

But she had no choice but to bless the two of them.

It was during this real fight between two gangs that Long Zhutao realized what the underworld was like. The people around her who were alive and kicking just a few days ago died today.

Kojima's words from the Kendo Club resurfaced in his ears, "Stay away from Shirogane. Don't drag him, who has a bright future, into the stinking cesspool of the underworld."

If you have too close a relationship with silver, you might be used by hostile forces and harm silver.

So for Longzhu Tao now, the more she likes Baiyin, the more she has to distance herself from him.

Even if my nose starts to feel sore again, I have to persevere and watch him step into Kaguya Shinomiya's arms little by little.

And I can't do anything.

……

the next day.

"Kaguya, let's go to the broadcasting room and notify the relevant students, and then go to the conference room for the meeting."

"Huh? Do I want to go too?"

"Don't want to?"

"I'm going!"

It was a rare opportunity for Shirogane to invite her to join forces, so Kaguya Shinomiya was naturally happy.

Less than ten minutes after the announcement, participants arrived at the conference room one after another.

The executive committee members of Fengxinji are selected by self-nomination and election in class, and then the chairman and vice chairman of the executive committee are decided by voting here.

In the election for the executive chairman, Koyasu Tsubame won with an absolute advantage, and Kashiwagi Nagisa, who ranked second, automatically became the vice chairman.

Zi Anyan is very popular, so the atmosphere in the conference room is quite lively, which is a good thing in itself.

But the price of being too lively is that there is no serious progress in almost any project.

If they continue to mess around, I'm afraid this meeting won't be over for hours.

Silver fingers tapped the microphone lightly, and the shrill buzzer drew everyone's attention back to him.

"Stop discussing irrelevant matters and get down to business. First, discipline committee members, step out."

Before their brains could react, several discipline committee members stood up following Baiyin's command.

"The Fengxin Festival will last for two days and will involve people from outside the school community, so extra attention will be required in terms of security. For this purpose, several students from the basketball and kendo clubs are willing to assist you."

As soon as Baiyin finished speaking, more than a dozen big and bulky members who were taller than the average students came in one after another from outside the door.

He also gave each of the discipline committee members two strange objects that looked like crutches but were too short.

"President, this is...?"

"Disciplinary committee members must be able to maintain discipline. The crutches in each of your hands are designed for this purpose. They are your weapons for maintaining discipline. Enthusiastic members of the basketball and kendo clubs will teach you how to use them later."

Baiyin smiled slightly.

Now that they have crutches, these discipline committee members look much more pleasing to the eye.
