After finishing his coffee, Tsukasa Tazaki took the empty can and walked into the student council meeting room.

The room was already quite full of people. The executive committee members elected by various clubs were gathered in twos and threes, discussing the school festival with people they knew. The atmosphere was a bit noisy.

When they saw Tsukasa Tazaki walk in, almost everyone subconsciously looked up at him—why did this cool and handsome genius student, who never participated in group activities, suddenly think of joining the school festival executive committee?

Tsukasa Tazaki glanced around the conference room, intending to find a corner to sit down.

Someone patted him on the shoulder.

“Sit with me.”

Her voice was incredibly gentle; I knew it was her without even turning around. It was her, my gentlest Mrs. Tazaki.

After a night of persistent pleading, Tsukasa Tazaki successfully convinced his advisor to collude and engage in favoritism in the election of the executive committee members.

Seeing that the teacher had arrived, the other students turned their attention back to their previous discussion.

As the meeting drew nearer, more and more people arrived, and the previously quiet chatter turned into a noisy commotion. Every time someone opened the door and came in, everyone would look over, only to immediately look away when they realized it wasn't someone they recognized.

In a corner, teachers and students were talking in hushed tones.

Kana Shimamoto tilted her head and looked at Tsukasa Tazaki: "After you become the class chairperson, you must do your best, understand? If anything goes wrong, your teacher won't forgive you."

After she finished speaking, a beautiful smile appeared on her lips, a smile that made her look much younger than her actual age, quite adorable.

"I just want a title." Tazaki Tsukasa's expression remained unmoved, and he said irresponsibly, "Leave the rest to the executive committee members."

Yes, because of his mentor Kana Shimamoto, he also plans to become a hands-off manager.

Leaders in high positions can push work onto others! This layered system of power harassment is a perfect depiction of Japanese workplace society.

Of course, it would be even better if Tsukasa Tazaki didn't run for chairman himself, but instead had someone who listened to him run.

"Don't be so lazy." Shimamoto Kana gave him a reproachful look. "This is a good opportunity to improve your organizational skills. Take it seriously, teacher."

"It's mainly because of Shimamoto-sensei's meticulousness that I don't feel like I can learn anything," Tazaki Tsukasa said sincerely.

"Don't give me that!" Shimamoto Kana poked his forehead with her pale fingertip, her tone unusually firm: "In the process of organizing this student council, the teacher plans to entrust it all to you students."

"what?"

"Students' holidays should naturally be led by the students."

Why did you go to great lengths to help out in previous years, but now you've handed it over to the students?

"Because you're here this year." Kana Shimamoto winked playfully and said in a low voice, "With you here, I don't have to worry about anything."

Although those words were pleasant to hear, Tsukasa Tazaki's face still showed his displeasure.

"I'll make it up to you after the school festival." Shimamoto Kana smiled gently, clasped her hands together, and said to him, "Please do your best, Tazaki-kun."

How heartwarming... That glowing thing between the two palms, is that happiness?

Just as Tazaki Tsukasa was about to be seduced by his beauty and nod in agreement, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye.

The previously noisy conference room fell silent in an instant.

A blonde girl with a straight back walked in with a confident stride, holding a laptop in her hand.

He had a cold demeanor, his eyes were dignified, and his face was expressionless, though not exactly stern.

He exuded an aura that was completely unlike that of a high school student. If we were to use another profession as a comparison... yes, like a tough police officer... no, perhaps more like a Self-Defense Force officer, and at least a lieutenant or higher.

"Here~" Tsukasa Tazaki raised his hand in greeting.

When Qichuan Wei saw him, she paused for a moment, but immediately turned her face away, took a few steps forward, and then, as if remembering what she was supposed to do, went straight to sit down next to him.

Time, which had been frozen, began to flow again, and everyone continued their conversation, their voices rising like waves.

Tazaki Tsukasa glanced at his watch; it was 8:50 a.m., ten minutes before the meeting was scheduled to begin.

"Hello, Kana Shimamoto, who was sitting to the right of Tsukasa Tazaki."

"Hello, teacher."

"You're also a member of the executive committee?"

"Yes, I plan to become the chairman of the committee."

"..." Shimamoto Kana winked at Tazaki Tsukasa, "We're thinking the same thing."

"No, teacher, what nonsense are you talking about?" Tazaki Tsukasa leaned closer to his older brother as if he didn't recognize Shimamoto Kana, and said with a smile, "I'm just a handyman. Such an important position as the class chairman should of course be held by Kikawa-kun."

"..." A big question mark lit up Shimamoto Kana's head. After composing herself a little, she asked, "You're not going to be the chairperson anymore?"

Qichuan Wei frowned, not understanding what the two were talking about.

“Teacher, you’re wrong about that,” Tsukasa Tazaki said seriously to Mrs. Tazaki. “As the heir to a large family, Kikawa needs large-scale events like this to hone her organizational skills. Moreover, she is excellent enough, both smart and calm, and she has a perfectionist streak, making her the most suitable candidate to be an executive committee member.”

"...?" Shimamoto Kana was confused and couldn't figure out the situation.

Last night in front of the mirror, who was it that hugged me tightly around the waist and kept asking me to support him as chairman?

“There’s another important point.” Tsukasa Tazaki turned to look at his older brother and said sincerely, “Kikawa usually has a cold and aloof demeanor, which is why she doesn’t have many friends at school. Let’s take this opportunity to let her show her noble character and her responsible attitude of devoting herself to her classmates. This way, everyone can get to know her better and thus promote the construction of a harmonious campus in Kitagawa.”

After thinking it over carefully, Shimamoto Kana raised her hand and tapped Tazaki Tsukasa's forehead in an annoyed tone.

That scoundrel is probably spouting nonsense again, trying to use Yui Kichikawa as a tool.

really...

They have absolutely no sense of pity for beautiful young girls!

Amidst relaxed and pleasant conversation, the meeting room door opened again.

A group of students carrying large stacks of documents, seemingly belonging to the same group, walked in. Among them, Tsukasa Tazaki spotted his silly sister-in-law.

Shikami's in the student council too... Tazaki Tsukasa looked over at her, his eyes meeting Hoshino Shikami's. The little idiot stuck her tongue out at him: "Hehehe~"

cute.

Every time his sister-in-law makes such a childish funny face, Tazaki Tsukasa's cuteness level doubles.

The group of student council members who walked in gathered in front of the meeting room, led by a girl with long hair, a gentle demeanor, and glasses.

This is the student council president. Her name is... what was her name again?

Tsukasa Tazaki felt ashamed.

As the president of the student council, the most powerful student organization, it's unacceptable that he couldn't even remember people's names.

Two first-year students distributed the materials they had brought in to each student attending the meeting. Tsukasa Tazaki received a copy and carefully examined its contents.

After confirming that everyone had received the materials, the student council president stood up and faced everyone.

"Then, I hereby declare."

"The first meeting of the School Festival Executive Committee is now beginning."

Chapter 236 So, Tsukasa Tazaki became his older brother's assistant.

"Hello everyone, I'm the student council president, Chiba Miho. I'm very happy to have your help this year to make the school festival a success. So, let's all work together!"

Her voice was unexpectedly gentle, and Tsukasa Tazaki couldn't help but glance at her a couple more times.

Her hair was shoulder-length, with a hair clip in her bangs. She was dressed neatly in her uniform and had a colorful hair tie on her wrist. Overall, she looked quite cute.

With a gentle demeanor, Chiba Miho gave a brief opening speech, which was immediately met with applause from the student council members and clapping from the other attendees. She nodded gently and smiled as she looked around at everyone present.

"Thank you very much, everyone. Now, let's take a look at the information we have and then start deciding on the chairperson."

An absolute 8 out of 10 beauty...

As for why it wasn't added to the stock market, it's probably because the system judged that the third-year seniors wouldn't have any interaction with it.

Just then, Chiba Miho's gaze fell on Tazaki Tsukasa, and she gave him a very cute, signature smile.

【Ding】

[Issue Price: 10]

Number of shares issued: 1000

[Triggering emotions, enjoy! Chiba Miho stock price rose 50 points, current price: 60]

Tsukasa Tazaki: "..."

Fine, this broken system loves to add shares arbitrarily without the host's consent; I'm used to it.

Also.

Can I return the Passive Affinity product?

The original offering price of 10 points has now been forced down to 60 points due to this passive mismanagement!

Thinking that this was the first new stock listing in three months, Tsukasa Tazaki decided to open the stock market index, which he hadn't done in a long time, to show his respect for the system.
