Chapter 287 Chiba Miho's Plan

November 8th, the first week after returning from the school trip.

A cool autumn breeze blew in through the slightly open window, and the classroom was quiet except for the ticking of the clock and the sound of turning pages.

There are still twenty minutes until school ends.

Tsukasa Tazaki held a mechanical pencil between his fingers, his gaze casually drifting out the window.

A large flock of crows flew in and circled menacingly over the gray pigeons kept by the school staff.

“Hey, Tazaki.” Murakami Mizuiro suddenly patted his desk.

Tsukasa Tazaki turned around: "What is it?"

"Let's train together at the sports festival~!" Murakami said excitedly. "With my physical abilities, I'm sure I'll steal the show at the sports festival, attracting the attention of countless girls, and then..."

Tsukasa Tazaki nodded and interrupted him, "Okay, let's train together."

"Eh?"

What's so surprising?

“You answered so readily…” Murakami Mizuiro reached out and touched his forehead. “You’re not sick?”

Tsukasa Tazaki slapped his hand away: "I have to participate in a lot of events, and I'll inevitably be staying on the playground until very late these days. If you're here, you can help me fend off a lot of unwanted advances."

"You actually treated me like a tool!"

Just as Murakami Mizuiro reached out his hands, ready to strangle the man, Hoshino Hanami walked onto the stage in high heels.

"I'll take up a little of your time to have a short class meeting to discuss the sports festival."

With a passionate voice, she uttered these words, her hands clasped quietly in front of her chest, staring at Tsukasa Tazaki with a gaze so sharp it seemed to pierce through one's very being.

'You know what I mean!'

'I understand...'

“As in previous years, this year’s sports festival will also have two forms: class competitions and club activities,” Hoshino Hanami paused, smiling at Tazaki Tsukasa, “I hope some students will be clear about their identity. First and foremost, they must be students of Class F, and only then are they members of a club!”

Tsukasa Tazaki: "..."

"You got along so well with Kuriyama-kun," Murakami Mizuiro turned around and mocked Tazaki Tsukasa with a cheeky grin, "Now do you know you were wrong? Hoshino-sensei is jealous!"

Hoshino Hanami tapped the podium: "Murakami-kun, quiet down! If you have a lot of energy, then sign up for all the long-distance running events at the sports festival."

Murakami Mizuiro shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.

The class meeting continued with the discussion of the school festival registration, and the atmosphere was very lively, especially the big guy who was the sports committee member.

Can understand.

The school sports meet is a grand event for every student to have fun and celebrate their youth.

Especially for the boys in sports clubs, this is a great opportunity to show off their skills and demonstrate their masculinity in front of the girls.

Seize this opportunity, win the favor of your dream girl, and escape single life to live an enviable, fulfilling life... Murakami is definitely not the only male student with such unrealistic fantasies.

After the bell rang, Hoshino Hanami left the classroom.

Some students rushed out of the classroom, others chatted with their classmates about the evening's activities, and still others slowly packed their things. Meanwhile, students interested in participating in the competitions spontaneously gathered around the class monitor to sign up for the competitions they wanted to participate in.

Tsukasa Tazaki packed his schoolbag and headed to the ATF club.

As autumn gradually comes to an end, the hours of daylight are getting shorter and shorter. By 3:30 pm, the sky has already begun to color itself, with wisps of sunset glow.

The road leading to the club building was bustling with people, and boys were often chased and teased by girls as they passed by.

I bumped into Yui Kichikawa at the corner of the elevated corridor.

She stood quietly in front of the glass, gazing towards the direction of the four valleys. The setting sun shone through the glass window, illuminating her profile and turning her long, golden hair slightly stained with wine red.

Tsukasa Tazaki came to her side, intending to say a few words, but then felt that the composition was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to break it, so he stood side by side with her, looking into the distance, making himself a part of the picture as well.

Wherever she goes, Yui Kikawa can easily attract the attention of the students around her at school. The boys stare at her with admiring eyes, while the girls look at her with a touch of worship.

After Tsukasa Tazaki arrived, the gazes focused even more intently on the two of them.

The girl had blonde hair and blue eyes, her beautiful legs encased in pure white stockings, and the curves of her chest, waist, and hips were simply perfect; while the boy stood upright, his eyebrows and eyes carrying a clean smile, sunny, handsome, and full of confidence.

The two of them just stood there, and the air around them seemed to be filled with the scent of hormones.

After admiring the scenery for a while, Tsukasa Tazaki asked, "Waiting for me?"

Kikawa Yui's lowered eyelashes trembled slightly as she elegantly raised her face: "Who else could I turn to besides you?"

"Please let me know if you need anything!"

"I've already spoken to the student council about the sports festival preparations, and I'll still be in charge of the preparations."

"My brother wants me to be his assistant again?"

"Don't call me..." Yui Kichikawa's small lips moved slightly, then she sighed helplessly, "Fine, call me if you want. As long as you can do your assistant work like you did at the school festival, I'll pretend I didn't hear you."

"That's no problem."

"Okay, goodbye then."

The blonde girl's lips curled into a slight smile, but she immediately turned around and walked towards the complex building, her skirt fluttering in the wind.

"Hey, wait a minute, big brother." Tsukasa Tazaki caught up with her. "Are you representing the kendo club in this club competition?"

"I'm not participating." Yui Kikawa brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said with an almost expressionless face, "Besides, I quit the kendo club a long time ago, didn't you know?"

"...Oh, I know, I know."

When did I quit?

"..." Tazaki Tsukasa was speechless for a moment, and could only raise his hands in surrender: "Big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong. I will definitely pay more attention to everything about you in the future, including how many grains of rice you eat in a meal, and how many times you chew a steak before swallowing it."

Kikawa Yui snorted coldly.

"Come with me to the student council office," she commanded coldly.

Tazaki Tsukasa glanced at the time; there was still more than an hour before the club activity ended. He instantly forgot his original plan to go to the ATF club to check his legs and followed Shigawa Yui to the student council office on the fourth floor of the main building.

As soon as you open the door to the student union office, a warm breeze mixed with the aroma of tea wafts out.

"Oh, hello, Tazaki-san, we meet again." There was only one girl in the office. When she noticed the two people who pushed the door open, she immediately raised her hand gently to greet them, her long black hair swaying as she did so.

Miho Chiba.

The student council president of Kitagawa Private Academy, a third-year student, is a beautiful girl who has her sights set on Tsukasa Tazaki in search of a suitable successor.

"Hello, Chiba-senpai," Tazaki Tsukasa replied politely.

"Please sit down, let's have a good chat today." Chiba Miho held a teapot in her hand and smiled slightly at the two of them.

The warm autumn sunset shone on her bright and beautiful forehead, giving her a gentle aura. Her clear eyes blinked playfully from time to time, revealing a lively personality.

Based on first impressions alone, she is the kind of person who makes you feel that it would be very pleasant to be around.

Tsukasa Tazaki sat down on the sofa, where a plate of freshly made crepes was on the table.

At this moment, he inexplicably recalled that when school had just started, Murakami Mizuiro had told him something like, "The student council president is a girl with great temperament and long, straight black hair." Now it seemed that Murakami had not exaggerated at all.

"When Kikawa came to me today asking for the position of chairperson of the Sports Festival Executive Committee, I thought I'd call the two of you together for a chat."

Chiba Miho spoke slowly and deliberately, pouring tea into two brand-new mugs from the teapot.

Black tea flowed slowly from the teapot. Kikawa Yui, her legs perfectly toned, remained silent. Steam rose from the mug, highlighting her profile as pure and white as jade.

Tsukasa Tazaki asked, "Are we discussing the sports festival?"

"We also need to discuss the sports festival," Chiba Miho put down the teapot, flicked her long, straight, glossy black hair with her slender fingers, and said with a smile, "With the successful example of the school festival before me, I've become a little greedy."

What does "greed" mean?

"I want to make the atmosphere of the sports festival as exciting as the school festival." With that, Chiba Miho clasped her hands together, leaned over the table and got close to Tazaki Tsukasa, smiling and winking playfully: "Could I ask Tazaki-kun for help? This is my last big event during my term, you know, it would be a shame if I messed it up."

A faint scent of orange perfume wafted into my nostrils, causing a slight tingling sensation.

Tsukasa Tazaki sniffed: "Since it was Chiba-senpai who spoke up, then..."

"Cough cough!"

Qichuan Wei coughed twice as if her throat was uncomfortable, picked up a cup of black tea with her fair fingertips, and stared at the scumbag with her eyes fixed on it.

Under the cold, blue gaze of his older brother, Tsukasa Tazaki promptly changed his tune.

"Don't worry, Chiba-senpai. Kikawa-san already told me about this before I came here. Since it was Kikawa-san who asked, I will definitely do my best to make the sports festival preparations a success!"

"Clap~"

Upon hearing this, Chiba Miho clapped her hands a few times, then gave Kikawa Yui a cute smile: "So you're only willing to waste your energy for Kikawa-san? I, the single student council president, am truly envious."

"Nonsense, who asked him to do this for me..." Qichuan Wei turned her face away, looking out the window, her voice growing softer and softer. Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, her porcelain-white profile flushed with a rosy hue reminiscent of red tea.

"Big brother," Tsukasa Tazaki leaned closer and whispered, "Why don't you go outside and I'd like to talk to Chiba-senpai alone?"

Qichuan Wei turned around, her clear blue eyes quickly filling with anger: "What are you saying?"

"I said, you can leave." Tsukasa Tazaki picked up a crepe, crunched it in his mouth, and said, "Chiba-senpai has a really nice air about her; chatting with her is more pleasant. Anyway, you're useless here, so why not... ouch~"

Kikawa Yui stomped heavily on his foot and looked at Chiba Miho: "Chiba-senpai, continue."

Chiba Miho glanced at Tazaki, whose face was contorted in pain, and smiled broadly: "Seeing that the two of you are still so close, I'm relieved. The key to this sports festival is still the two of you, and the focus of the publicity will be on the competition between Class A and Class F."

Tazaki Tsukasa gasped, "You're trying to hype up me and Kikawa again. You've really figured out the secret to generating buzz."

"Do you think I'm willing?" Chiba Miho suddenly leaned forward again, closing the distance between herself and Tazaki Tsukasa. "Tazaki-kun, how about we create some hype this time? A genius boy and the student council president with long black hair, I think that would be quite a gimmick."

"Uh……"

Are you willing?

"...That's a bit of an exaggeration."

"The president thinks this is not an exaggeration at all, and it's actually quite interesting."

Even though their faces were very close, the student council president seemed completely unconcerned, continuing to gaze at Tsukasa Tazaki with an innocent smile on his face.

[You scumbag, come here! The Qichuan Stock Index has dropped ten points; the current stock price is 183.]

"Sorry, that's not appropriate." Tsukasa Tazaki quickly refused, then shifted his position to the side, where a sulking blonde girl came into view.
