Senior Xun began to give Chaoyang a detailed explanation.

Chaoyang learned that the original slogan was "Fun! So fun! ~Hear the sound of the sea breeze! Sobu High School Anniversary~." While the slogan itself was fine, it was actually plagiarized from the advertising slogans for Saitama Prefecture and the snack Jumangoku Manju. As a teacher and educator, I naturally couldn't encourage students to plagiarize others' ideas, so I rejected it outright. Furthermore, it was Saitama-origin. Chiba and Saitama are both part of the Tokyo metropolitan area, and Saitama is at the bottom of the regional discrimination hierarchy. The pride of Chiba residents naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

"What's wrong with Saitama...? Living in Saitama is actually quite nice..."

He used to live in Chaoyang Nature in Saitama and Wako City, and was somewhat dissatisfied with the people of Chiba who looked down on Saitama.

"Anyway, it was definitely my mistake. If I were as knowledgeable as Yukinoshita-san, I'd definitely notice something like this."

"No, Yukinoshita didn't notice either... She's on the Executive Committee."

"Don't blame your senior sister. It's just everyone's responsibility. This kind of thing was approved at the meeting. If no one raised any objections at the time, we are all guilty."

But in the final analysis, it should be considered Sagami Minami's fault.

Because this happened before Yukinoshita's memory was overwritten, and the Executive Committee was on the verge of a critical point at the time, many things were not well thought out, and the culprit for this was ultimately Sagami Minami.

As the conversation was explaining the reason, the lunch break was about to end.

"Ah...it's already this late, uh, there are so many other things I want to talk about..."

The food in front of the senior sister has hardly been touched.

"Senior, if you have something to say, wait until we get to the meeting room. Don't waste the food."

"Um... Chaoyang, please help me eliminate some of them~~"

"No problem, no problem..."

"...Hey, how should I divide it between you?"

"Just pour the parts you don't want to eat into this bowl."

The pork chop rice in Chaoyang is almost finished, so there’s no need to worry about the smell coming from other foods.

"Well, then I'm being rude!"

Senior Sister Xun poured about half of the dishes and rice in her ginger fried pork set meal to Chaoyang. Of course, half of the amount itself is not much, and together they are enough for 5,6 or spoons.

only……

"Xun already kissed me earlier... I don't mind, but it's an indirect kiss. Did she do it on purpose? But Cheng Hui, Xun is quite natural, so she might not have realized it. I'd better not think too much about it for now."

Chaoyang stopped talking to Senior Sister Xun and started to finish his lunch.

After eating, the two waved goodbye and said they would see each other after school.

……

After school

Emergency meeting of the Executive Committee

The conference room was now filled with chatter.

Haruno and Hayama also sat in their seats as observers.

[Can outsiders...enter internal meetings at will...?]

Chaoyang looked at Yangno opposite him and complained in his heart.

Yang No seemed to notice the gaze and waved back with a smile on his face.

Seeing that everyone was present, Yukinoshita whispered to Sagami Minami who was sitting next to her.

"Sagami-san, please chair the meeting this time."

"what!?"

"Is this your chance to redeem your reputation, or is your desire for self-improvement just empty talk? So far, most people haven't seen your so-called growth."

"you!"

Sagami had a difficult time recently because Chaoyang deliberately put Sagami Minami in the most prominent position when he announced the committee attendance rate without authorization, causing her to be criticized. Now, she is privately being talked about as the most useless executive committee chairperson in the history of Sobu High School.

Yukinoshita actually brought it up directly in front of everyone, which made Sagami Minami extremely uncomfortable. Although she spoke quietly and no one heard it, she was extremely sensitive now. As long as someone looked at her, she would feel that they were talking about her.

"If you can't do it, I can do it."

Sagami Minami's anger was finally aroused by Yukinoshita.

"...You're the one making all the decisions... Stop that know-it-all look on your face. Who do you think you are?... I'm working hard on this, too!"

In the face of Sagami Minami's gaffe, Yukinoshita looked calm and composed.

"Then let me see how serious you are."

"Ah! I'll show you. Just shut up and watch!"

Sagami Minami's face was full of anger.

98. You’re planning to kill two birds with one stone, right?

"...Well, then, since the time is up, the emergency meeting on the slogan will now officially begin."

Although Sagami had anger on his face, when facing the crowd, his voice was a little hoarse and weak because he had not prepared in advance.

But it finally opened the curtain.

Everyone looked at her and seemed a little unaccustomed to a meeting led by her.

"Let me get this straight. The original slogan has been determined not to be used. If anyone has a good slogan, please raise your hand and speak up."

【6 points is barely passing. 】

Chaoyang began to score silently in his heart.

But Sagami's words had no effect. It was just like speaking in class at university. Unless it was an open class and it was discussed in advance, no one would raise their hands to answer the professor's questions, and no one would even sit in the first three rows.

The silent atmosphere made Ye Shan unable to sit still, and he finally stood up to break the deadlock.

"How about everyone write it down on a piece of paper and then choose the one we all agree on?"

Ye Shan knew that this would never end, so he changed it into a compulsory task, so that at least there would always be someone who would start writing.

"Well, what Ye Shan-kun said does make sense. Secretary, please give everyone a piece of white paper."

When Sagami saw Hayama helping her, she immediately looked happy and gave instructions according to Hayama's suggestion.

Chaoyang sighed, stood up, went to the corner, picked up a pile of white paper and started distributing it.

"Then please take a moment to think about this. I'll take it back in 10 minutes."

After the white paper was distributed, some of the people who were working seriously began to think hard, while most of the people were laughing and chatting, asking each other what weird slogans they had written.

Chaoyang, on the other hand, didn't care too much about the slogan. After all, all it really needed was something that seemed plausible. However, he was annoyed by the way Sagami in the stands looked like he had gotten by.

It’s like when a company project is completed, the leader suddenly sends a confidant to replace the original team leader.

Yukinoshita seems determined to complete Sagami's commission, and this time, she's been given a chance to make amends... But... is it really okay to just let her share the fruits of her labor so easily? If Sagami is allowed to get away with it, wouldn't that be unfair to those who have worked so hard from the beginning? This isn't just Yukinoshita's fault, it also includes the student council members and several members of the executive committee who have been working overtime from the beginning. Justice must be sought for them.

"Can I have a word?"

"……Speaking."

When Sagami saw Chaoyang raising his hand to speak, his face immediately turned unhappy.

"I don't think most people are taking slogans seriously. Why don't I write one and everyone can vote on it by raising their hands? This way we don't have to waste time on this topic. I'm sure many of you here also think it's a waste of time."

Chaoyang glanced at the crowd, and most people turned their heads away when they saw his gaze. After all, the cracks on the wall were still there, and everyone was afraid of being stared at by Chaoyang.

Chaoyang walked up to the front and wrote on the whiteboard with a marker: "Chiba's famous sights, festival dance! Since we're all fools, wouldn't it be a big loss if we didn't dance? Sing a song."

Chaoyang directly used the slogan adopted at the end of the original work.

"Is this acceptable to everyone?"

The people in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Anyone who objects, please raise your hands."

Chaoyang was being clever. Normal logic would be that those who support should raise their hands. On the contrary, everyone's default initial state is agreement. Most people generally don't express their opinions specifically, so it's unlikely that anyone would raise their hands to oppose.

As expected, the slogan was passed.

"Chairman, is this the end of the main topic of this emergency meeting?"

"Ah... um."

After being disturbed by Chaoyang, Sagami's originally gathered energy and spirit were completely shattered.

"Then I would like to raise a new issue in the remaining time. To be more precise, I want to seek justice."

"I might be a bit over the top, but I'm naturally petty. I think adults might not distinguish between right and wrong and only care about interests. But we are still high school students now, so we should establish a clear distinction between right and wrong. What do you think, teacher?"

Chaoyang said to Hiratsuka who was sitting to the side.

"The cultural festival is a student-run activity. There's no need to ask the teacher for their opinion. I'm just preventing any accidents. Don't worry about me. Just learn to take responsibility. If you're unwilling to take responsibility, you're giving up your power."

"First, I have to do some self-reflection. I previously used the official seal of the Executive Committee without authorization and published everyone's attendance records without their consent."

"Um... Chaoyang, we've already said that this matter is over... You don't have to..."

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but that's not the point. What I'm going to tell you next is why I'm doing this. I don't plan to be a politician in the future, so I don't like to beat around the bush. Everyone knows that the Executive Committee is in crisis because more than half of them are lazy and not fulfilling their duties, under the guise of enjoying the cultural festival. But in reality, they're just dumping their work on those honest and serious staff members, like Yukinoshita, like Mizuki, and everyone in the Student Council, and you, you, you, and you!"

Chaoyang pointed out one by one the members who came to the executive committee to work diligently every day, and of course he did not forget the great teacher Hikigaya.

"After being harshly criticized by other students, he fled back here and acted as if nothing had happened, hoping for a happy ending. Kind-hearted people might be able to forgive him, but I can't!"

As he spoke, Chaoyang looked towards Sagami.

Yukinoshita just sighed and did not stop Chaoyang.

Ye Shan also realized that Chaoyang was determined to settle accounts this time. If he forcibly stopped him, it might only exacerbate the conflict. He could only sit in his seat with a worried look on his face.

"If you really want to pretend nothing happened, shouldn't you at least apologize for what you did? You're not all giant babies, are you? You don't think it's natural for others to clean up your messes, do you? ...What do you think, Chairman Sagami?"

Chaoyang finally called out the name at the end and everyone's eyes turned to Sagami.

[So-called growth cannot be achieved without learning from the lessons. She must remember this shame and regret in order to transform.]

"I...you..."

Sagami gritted his teeth.

Chaoyang actually planned to imitate Hanzawa Naoki if he was a little cruel... But after all, this matter was not that serious, and it would be a bit too much to make people lose face.

Chaoyang walked forward and continued to look at her.

"If you really have any dignity, at least apologize to me."

It seems that he finally can't bear the double pressure of Chaoyang's spirit and physicality.

"Ugh...why didn't anyone speak up for me? A bunch of people weren't even here to work properly, so why did they force me to do this?! I've already apologized and reflected on my actions."

After all, Chaoyang was standing in front of the crack in the wall, and few people dared to challenge him at this time.

Tears began to fall down Sagami Minami's face, and her voice became more choked.

"Just say sorry, okay? Sorry! Are you satisfied? Wuwuwu... I clearly made up my mind... clearly..."

"Sagami-san..."

Senior Xun came over at some point and gently stroked her back, calling her name softly. Sagami seemed to have received permission and sobbed even harder.

After glaring at Chaoyang, Xun-senpai helped Sagami temporarily leave the meeting room.

Wait until the meeting room returns to calm.

Chaoyang bowed 90 degrees to everyone.

"I'm sorry to have caused you all so much trouble. To express my apology, I'm voluntarily resigning from my position as secretary. I'm sorry to have caused you all such a humiliation."

Then he quickly turned around and left the meeting room before everyone could react.

"Ok?"

"Does it feel like something's wrong?"
