Crossover Anime: The King of Time? Actually, He's a Slacker!

The students looked at each other, none of them willing to take on this troublesome task. If they messed it up in the end, even with the student council president to cover for them, they would still be a laughing stock.

Most students at this age have a strong sense of self-esteem, but lack a corresponding sense of responsibility.

Seeing that no one volunteered, Shirogane Miyuki did not force it. He could simply put in more effort himself. After all, taking on what ordinary people could not and doing what ordinary people could not do was the self-awareness that a student council president should have.

"that……"

Just then, a hesitant voice came from the left.

Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl with short red hair hesitantly raising her hand.

"You are... Sagami Minami, right?" Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly.

"Speaking."

Sagami Minami's eyes lit up, seemingly pleased that the other person knew her name.

"I'd like to say, if no one is willing... I can give it a try." She stood up and bowed slightly to the crowd.

"I'm Minami Sagami from Class 2-A. I'm not very good at this kind of stage work, but I'm somewhat interested in it... and I hope to grow through this Spring Festival."

Sitting in the corner, Hachiman Hikigaya rested his chin on his hand, half-lying on the table, looking utterly unmotivated, while silently thinking to himself, "Then why are we here to help you grow...?"

After Sagami Minami finished speaking, she became somewhat uneasy. Shinomiya Kaguya pondered for a moment. She saw through the girl's true nature at a glance. To be honest, it was better for her and the president to divide the work and cooperate than to entrust this troublesome task to someone who was not capable enough. Not only would it be more efficient, but it would also help to strengthen their relationship...

(Shirogane Miyuki: Thank you for your hard work, Shinomiya. Thanks to you, this spring festival was so perfect.)

(Kaguya Shinomiya: You flatter me, President. This is just my duty.)

(Shirogane Miyuki: Um... Shinomiya, thank you for everything you've done for me. I think I'm completely infatuated with you. Please go out with me!)

(Aaaaaaahh ...

All of the above is just someone's fantasy.

"Well then, if no one else volunteers, we'll leave it to Sagami-kun." Shirogane Miyuki's voice rang out, pulling Shinomiya Kaguya back to reality.

She quickly touched her face to make sure she wasn't making any strange expressions, and inwardly wanted to slap herself. How could she have such wild thoughts in a situation like this?!

"Yes, I will do my best!" Sagami Minami smiled with delight.

Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, Lin Shiye suddenly spoke up: "Sagamami-kun, I hope you understand the weight of this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, the students all stopped and stared at him. Sagami Minami, who was about to sit down, also tensed up.

"Eh...wh-what do you mean?"

"As the executive committee chairman, you will be the key figure in this Spring Festival. All the students involved will follow your orders. This is both a power and a responsibility." Lin Shiye looked into the other person's eyes and began to exert pressure.

"However, as the executive committee chairperson, your every word and action will represent the face of the school; moreover, the students' willingness to help you grow represents their trust in you. So, do you have the determination to live up to this trust and to do your best to make the event a success?"

"Sagamami-kun, are you sure you want to take on this responsibility?"

The air fell silent for a moment.

Sagami Minami swallowed hard, her fingertips gripping the hem of her school uniform tightly. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally raised her voice and said, "I can do it! I will definitely take responsibility!"

As soon as she spoke, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, her chest heaving slightly.

Lin Shiye raised an eyebrow in surprise. Although he might be stubborn and concerned about his image, his courage in not giving up under such pressure was commendable.

Having said all that, he stopped talking, leaned back leisurely, and the back of his chair made a slight sound.

Upon seeing Lin Shiye's action, Shirogane Miyuki immediately understood and smoothed things over. This wasn't the first time the two of them had played good cop/bad cop, and their tacit understanding was already at its peak.

"Don't worry about it, Sagami-kun. The road to growth is full of thorns, but don't worry, I'll protect you, and everyone will help you, right?"

Shirogane Miyuki smiled gently and glanced at the other students.

"Oh!" Hachiman Hikigaya raised his arms and shouted in perfect unison, looking quite excited, though his expression was a bit stiff. After shouting, he lay down on the table and pretended to be an ostrich.

With him taking the lead, everyone else followed suit and expressed their opinions.

"Yes, let's all work together!"

"I'll help."

"The other schools are the real challengers at this spring festival!"

"Let's gooo——!"

.........

The meeting ended, and it was time for after-school club activities.

In the Service Department, the Three Kings, as always, sat reading in the empty activity room.

"I was a bit surprised that Yuki became an executive committee member too." As the mood-maker of the department, Yui Yuigahama started the conversation first.

"Is that so?" Yukino Yukinoshita flipped through the book without looking up, her tone indifferent.

"It's more surprising that someone else became an executive committee member than me."

As she spoke, she glanced at Hachiman: "Aren't you going to participate in a beauty pageant? Don't you need to prepare?"

"Uh..." Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly stopped scrolling on his phone.

"I was practically forced into this. As for the beauty pageant... you don't need to worry about it."

"Could it be that Xiaoqi has some secret weapon?" Yui Yuigahama blinked curiously.

"The kind that can make a splash in a beauty pageant?"

"I guess so." Hachiman seemed to remember something, his expression indescribable, and in a way, quite astonishing.

"Then let's suspend club activities for the next few days," Yukinoshita said.

"There shouldn't be any commissions anytime soon, so you don't need to come after school. This will give you more time to rehearse."

"What about me?" Yuihama opened her eyes wide and looked at her pitifully.

"What will I do if the club activities are canceled?"

"Hmm...can you go home earlier?" Yukinoshita tentatively asked.

"Ah, okay." Yuihama said dejectedly.

Hachiman Hikigaya kept his head down, trying hard not to laugh out loud. This was a pleasant surprise; not having to participate in the club meant he could go home and relax sooner.

Rehearsals were over a long time ago, so there's no need to pay much attention to them.

"Can we call it a day?" Hachiman Hikigaya stood up, barely suppressing the urge to smile.

"No, sit down." Yukinoshita's tone was flat, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

Hachiman Hikigaya clicked his tongue and reluctantly sat back down.

Damn it, how dare you play me!

Just when the three thought the day would end peacefully, the door to the activity room was pushed open.

"Excuse me!" Sagami Minami and her best friends arrived.

"I heard this club can grant wishes, I didn't expect it to be Yukinoshita's club~"

"The purpose of this club is to teach people how to fish, to lend a helping hand to those in need, not to fulfill wishes." Yukinoshita closed the book and looked over.

"There's nothing in reality that can fulfill wishes... So, Sagami-kun, what brings you here?"

Yuihama also turned her gaze to the other person, while Hachiman continued scrolling through his phone, seemingly unconcerned.

"Well, I've become the executive committee chairperson, but I'm really not confident about it," Sagami Minami coughed and spoke slowly.

"So I hope you can help me."

Hachiman Hikigaya glanced at her.

What an arrogant official attitude! She's only just become the executive committee chairperson, yet she speaks without any hint of asking for favors. It seems that someone's pressure hasn't been able to easily change this woman's vile nature.

Hypocrisy... Hachiman Hikigaya hates that kind of thing.

"You may not have noticed, but I am also an executive committee member," Yukinoshita said.

"Everyone is willing to help you; wasn't that already agreed upon at the meeting?"

"It's not that kind of help..." Sagami Minami scratched her head awkwardly.

"So you mean you want me to teach you everything step by step? Or do I just do it for you?" Yukinoshita asked in a deep voice, her hands folded on her knees.

"Personal growth...that's the goal you're advocating, but I think that's already going against it."

"That's true... but the worst thing would be if it caused trouble for everyone." Sagami Minami turned her head away.

"Nobody wants to fail, and besides, helping each other accomplish something is a form of growth!"

He fell into deep thought beneath the snow.

Yuihama looked around, wanting to persuade Yukinoshita not to agree, but too embarrassed to interrupt.

Hikigaya continued scrolling on his phone, completely unconcerned. In his mind, Yukino would absolutely not agree...

"Can."

"Huh?" Hachiman slammed his phone down on the table with a thud.

Yui looked at her in disbelief.

"Great!" Upon receiving the reply, Sagami Minami immediately gave her best friends a high five.

"But," Yukinoshita changed the subject.

"I will only provide you with basic guidance, and I may pay more attention to you than other executive committee members, but I will never do all the work for you. The responsibilities of the executive committee chairman must be taken on by yourself."

Upon hearing this, Hikigaya and Yuihama relaxed their tense bodies.

"What the heck... how could this be?!" Sagami Minami was immediately dissatisfied.

"I agree with what Lin said at today's meeting." Yukinoshita stood up from her chair, ignoring the other person's emotions, and spoke to herself.

"Everyone starts growing from scratch. Don't worry, I'll watch over you closely until you become an adult who can stand on your own."

The girl slightly raised her chin, seemingly radiating a gentle maternal glow, but the smile on her lips had an inexplicably wicked quality.
