I, the mastermind behind the scenes at Soubu High, refuse to be caught in a bloodbath.

Author's Note:

P.S.: I originally wanted to name the protagonist Haruto Anemokōji. The surname Anemokōji is really powerful. Himekoji is actually a scumbag. But let's treat this as an alternate world, because the character "姉" (Ane) might cause some trouble.

Chapter 060 Reasoning, [Himekoji Haruto] Talks and Laughs

"Oh...I see. So your school knows your football team very well?"

"The disciplinary committee member who didn't attend this meeting is the ace of our football team. He's the most informed person in the football team, and our school updates information on all clubs very efficiently and quickly. Has your school not properly organized and updated the data for a while? Or has your communication with the various clubs been somewhat neglected?"

Himekoji now really regrets not buying some chocolate bars at the nearby convenience store, so she could have munched on one while talking.

"Ahem!" Asashima coughed heavily, unable to bear it any longer. He gestured to Tamaki and said, "Well then, Tamaki's speech ends here. Everyone, our meeting will proceed based on the proposal provided by Chairman Himekoji."

"Senior Kitahara, please speak."

Himekoji reached out her hand to Kitahara.

“Okay,” Kitahara Haruki stood up, glanced at her notebook, and then spoke eloquently, “I have one question and two suggestions.”

"Please speak," Asashima said, picking up a pen to take notes. In this respect, he was much better than Tamaboro, Himekoji silently commented.

"My first question is, during major sporting events, especially the World Cup, excited fans often engage in irrational behavior. What measures do you, Chairman, plan to take to prevent such incidents, or even serious (harmonious) events, from occurring? I don't think I saw that in the proposal."

Look, Kitahara Haruki's question is spot on. Tamaki's question is just speechless. You didn't even make a proposal, fine, but I did, and you still keep babbling nonsense. Forget it, arguing with Tamaki is too low-class. Himeko shook her head and threw the thought out of her mind.

"Kitahara, I've basically considered the answer to this question, but since this is a meeting between two schools, please tell me your two suggestions first. After you've finished your suggestions, we'll discuss the solution together, and then I'll give my answer."

Himekoji also took out her notebook and wrote down Kitahara's question.

“Okay,” Kitahara nodded, picked up his notebook and said, “I think people are profit-driven creatures, so if it’s just for ‘honor,’ they might not go all out in the competition. So I suggest setting up a prize for the champion and runner-up of this event.”

"Very good, what about the second item?"

"The second thing is to provide comprehensive meal subsidies for the participating players. You know, playing games in a short period of time is very physically demanding, so I hope that every player can get enough nutrition and get good rest during the competition."

As Kitahara Haruki said this, Setsuna looked at him with her mouth slightly open, secretly admiring him.

"Bonus...meal allowance, okay, I'll write that down. Please have a seat. It was definitely the right choice to invite you here."

Himeko thought of the bonus, but not the meal allowance. The reason the bonus wasn't included in the proposal was to give them a chance to think and speak. As for the meal allowance... he had a habit of assuming everyone was from a well-off family.

"So, what's a good answer to the question Kitahara-kun raised?"

Asashima used the tip of his pen to scan the members of his side.

"I believe that strict supervision is the first step in preventing irrational behavior among students, but relying solely on physical education teachers and disciplinary committee members is insufficient..."

A guy whose name Himekoji didn't want to remember raised his hand and spoke.

"Yes, yes, that's right!"

"Yes Yes."

"That's right, that's right!"

The student council at Seaside High School has started again.

After calling on several people to answer, Ji Xiaolu finally said, "Then let me briefly talk about my answer. To avoid irrational behavior between students from different schools, the first thing is to designate viewing areas. Think about it, basically all students from the same school will support their own school's team. It would be too troublesome for them to cross a long distance in the crowd just to have a few words. Secondly, of course, there will always be some energetic and idle students. At this time, the school can pre-recruit volunteers, regardless of gender. They are basically not restricted by viewing areas, so if anything happens, they can immediately go over to stop it. If there are girls present, it is basically impossible for an argument to break out."

“Even if a fight breaks out, we can quickly separate them. If we are too late, it will be difficult to prevent serious (harmonious) incidents. These volunteers will record their names and classes and report them to the school. The school will then communicate with other schools to impose penalties…” As she spoke, Ji Xiaolu added, “The person who caused the incident will be fined 10,000 yuan each, which will be used as a bonus for the volunteers. Well… we need to keep it a secret from them before recruiting.”

"Keep it a secret... Hehehe... President Himekoji really has a wicked heart."

Yukina laughed melodiously after hearing this, which immediately stirred the hearts of the group of students at Seaside High School.

"What if those volunteers deliberately cause a riot in order to get more prize money? That would be troublesome, President Asashima, what do you think?"

"Ah...that's right, that's exactly it."

Asashima nodded quickly.

"So, based on the three answers we've heard so far, I'd like to ask everyone to vote by raising their hands. There are 11 of us in total. If 7 people vote in favor, it will be considered passed. Everyone, is that alright?"

"Please wait a moment."

Yu Sheng raised her hand again, and Ji Xiaolu suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"Yusheng, please speak."

"President Himekoji, I believe that this method of voting by show of hands cannot reflect the will of everyone and is an act of stifling free thought. I urge you to consider this carefully, and let everyone discuss it further, using sensitive and rigorous logical thinking to come up with a solution..."

"So you're denying modern democracy? If the Diet wants to pass a law, it only needs a majority vote. According to your logic, the law must also take into account the interests of everyone? Should we guarantee every prisoner the right to escape, just to stifle their freedom of action? Just because you disagree, Shinzo Abe can't be prime minister? Or should we find a prime minister that every class of Japan's more than 100 million people can agree with, and then the Diet keeps debating and holding meetings, the government is shut down and inefficient, and government orders can't be implemented, just because you disagree? If an American congressman had disagreed during World War II, would the United States have stopped dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima?"

"To put it simply, when your school was running for student council, did you say that you couldn't become student council president without the support of all the students? If your answer is yes, I think President Asashima will let you leave right now. If your answer is no, then sit down now and get ready to raise your hands for a vote."

P.S.: Bullets aren't selling well...

Chapter 061 The Opposition, [Kaori Orimoto] Begins Blackmail

Himekoji really couldn't be bothered to explain to this guy. Fortunately, his personality was very different from Hikigaya's. If you had to say, he was somewhat similar to Yukinoshita in some ways, but Yukinoshita's execution ability was far inferior to his.

The meeting room was completely silent.

The three proposals were voted on one after another, and Himekoji's proposal was passed with ten votes.

The meeting proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner. Half an hour later, Himekoji announced a short break of ten minutes.

"Thump!" He sat down on a bench inside the community center, comfortably opened a can of chilled blueberry soda. The girls were all entangled with the guys from Binhai High School, and the boys were buying them drinks from the vending machine. Himekoji didn't need to worry about chatting or anything. He searched for Kitahara Haruki with his eyes, but didn't find him. Instead, he noticed Orimoto Kaori from Binhai Comprehensive High School walking towards him.

With a smile, she put her hand on her hip and pointed to the vending machine with the other, saying, "The imposing President Himekoji, aren't you going to buy me a drink?"

"There's no such thing as a free breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, late-night snack, or dessert, so if you want to drink it, you'll have to buy it yourself."

"What if I oppose all your proposals in the subsequent vote?"

She gave Himekoji a mischievous smile and winked.

"Ah—, the opposition has emerged," Himekoji said, straightening her back as she stood up and approached the vending machine. "Well then, as the temporary ruler, I should probably bribe her a little. Tell me, what would you like to drink?"

"Lucky~, I want this, iced lemon tea!" Oribon happily pointed to the last drink in the vending machine. Himekoji put in a coin, bought it, and handed it to her, saying, "Here, I still hope you can vote according to your own thoughts."

"Oh, what kind of speech was that? Of course I'll vote according to my own opinion, it's hilarious~"

As she spoke, she burst into laughter to herself. Himekoji wore an expression somewhat similar to Hachiman's, thinking to herself: What's so funny about this...?

The two then sat down side by side on the bench.

"President Himekoji, is it alright for me to call you Himekoji?"

"as you like."

"Wow, such a cold attitude, then it'll be Himekoji," Orimoto said, swinging his legs and sipping his drink contentedly. "I feel like you're starting to joke around now, which is completely different from before. To be honest, you gave off a somewhat scary impression back then... And your white hair is quite imposing, a nice dye job!"

"It's innate."

"Huh? Really?! This must be a scam!"

"Believe it or not, this is inherited from my mother."

Ji Xiaolu leaned back, sighed softly, and thought to herself: These days, nobody believes the truth anymore.

"I'm so envious! White hair suits you so well, it's amazing!" Orimoto said, then immediately changed the subject, "Was Kogiri, who came with Himekoji, your girlfriend?"

"No, by the way, the other two are not my girlfriends either."

"Ah, is that so? The girls at your Soubu High School are really something, each one more lethal than the last."

"You found out."

"I'm a woman too, there's no way I wouldn't notice! Ugh, those idiots are practically paralyzed with shock!"

Zheben angrily kicked the air in front of him.

What are your thoughts on co-organizing a football match?

"Well, I don't play soccer anyway, but it's fun to join in the fun. There are also some handsome guys in the soccer team, and watching them play is super interesting."

"It's similar to our school's football team."

"On another note, as the student council president, have you joined any clubs?"

"What about you?"

"It's a secret~"

"Then I'll keep it a secret too." Ji Xiaolu glanced at her watch, stood up, and said, "It's about time, let's go back."

When the meeting was almost over, Himeko put away all the notes she had compiled and handed them to Seiji Asashima, saying, "Then, Chairman Asashima, I'll leave these to you."

"this...?"

"Please take the meeting minutes."

"Shouldn't this be something everyone...?"

"The proposal was created independently by us, so your esteemed school should at least show some sincerity."

Ji Xiaolu slowly pushed up his glasses, a hint of threat emanating from him.

So the rest of the time was spent organizing meeting minutes for the Seaside High School meeting team, which was quite enjoyable.

Ultimately, the student councils of Soubu High School and Haibin High School reached an agreement, which was basically in line with Himekoji's proposal. He also sent a document version of the proposal to Hayama Hayato, and presumably their discussions with Hekiyo Academy will go smoothly.

"Ah...I'm home, I'm home."

Kitahara Haruki yawned. He was very satisfied with helping out today. First, he dealt a blow to the other school's student council, and he also demonstrated his own value. Moreover, he was incredibly lucky to have been sitting with the super popular beauty Ogiso Setsuna.

"Jasmine and I have already been picked up, so we won't be going back with you. Goodbye, everyone."

Ju also politely bid farewell to everyone.

"Excuse me, someone's here to pick me up too, Kitahara-kun, could you please take Kogiso-san home?"

“Kitahara-kun…” Yukina’s gaze shifted from Himekoji and she secretly glanced at Kitahara Haruki. He turned to face Yukina and nodded, saying, “Of course, I’d be happy to take you back.”

"Thank you."

Setsuna bowed slightly to Kitahara Haruki.

"Oh, it's nothing to be thanked for. It's only natural to take a girl home at night."

"Even so, I'm still grateful. Kitahara-kun is a very kind person."
