Through a class and a secret message exchanged with Arisu Takeuchi, Hideaki Shiraishi finally understood what had happened.

It's a pity I didn't time travel.

Without having made any agreement with the other teachers that he could skip class, Shiraishi Hideaki mustered his energy and tried to listen to the lesson.

Looking at the figure in front of him, Shiraishi Sawah casually used [Detect] on the spot.

I've already checked all the other girls in the class, and there isn't a single one who can trigger the mission.

[Name: Takanashi Yuko]

Age: 16

Intelligence: +3

[Stamina: +3]

[Charm: +5]

[Intelligence: Triggerable quest (The quest will randomly appear during your interactions with the target)]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully found three mission targets and activated the reward mission. This is a one-time offer, so don't miss out!]

[Task Description: No time limit. Take a group photo with Ichiyo, Soga Kirei, and Takanashi Yuuko. The photo must not contain any other living beings besides the four of you.]

[Task Rewards:]

[Four people: 10000 points]

[Four people genuinely smiling: 1 half-price coupon (can be used to purchase any item at half price)]

Four people holding hands: This life is worth it *1 (You'll know once you try it)

(Task rewards can be stacked)

"Not bad, finally there's someone in this class who can trigger the mission." Shiraishi Sawa Hide secretly rejoiced at finding another triggerable target.

"But this mission is too absurd. I've only just gotten to know Yi Ru Sang, and I'm completely unfamiliar with the other two. Besides, can you explain this prop, which is so obvious that only those who use it can understand it, any clearer?"

"Forget it, there's no time limit anyway, let's just leave it for now. The most important thing right now is to let Chairman Su speak."

With the ringing of the bell, the morning classes quickly came to an end.

"Um, could everyone please sit down and wait for me?" Takanashi Yuko ran to the podium after the teacher left and said to everyone, her face slightly flushed. She then bowed and walked towards the door.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but they all went to eat and waited quietly in their seats.

Soon, Takanashi Yuko dragged a large handbag in from outside and placed it laboriously on the lectern. Then she opened the handbag and emptied its contents.

It was a large collection of exquisite clay figurines.

Yuko Takanashi stood beside the podium, her hands nervously touching each other.

"These are clay figurines I made myself. I wanted to give them to everyone. Since I didn't know what kind of people would like, I made a variety of shapes and sizes. There are about fifty of them here. Everyone in the class can choose one. I hope everyone will like them!"

"Eh~ a gift?" "Really?"

After a brief silence, the classroom suddenly became lively again.

"Can everyone come up and pick one they like? If you don't like any, you can tell me what kind you like, and I'll try to make a few more for you. If you don't want to come up and pick, I'll take them down and let you choose."

"How can you carry something so heavy, Takanashi-chan? Let's go upstairs and pick it out."

"Can I go first?!" Takeuchi Arisu suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Ah, um, anything is fine, everyone can come up and pick." Takanashi responded after a moment of surprise.

A group of boys quickly rushed up and surrounded the teacher's desk.

"I want this!" "This is mine!" "Who took the one that Takanashi-chan was showing off?"

The girls below looked a little embarrassed, and a few seemed to be frowning and wanting to leave the classroom.

Takanashi Yuuko then took half a bag, stepped down from the teacher's desk, and said to the girls:

"Most of these were made according to girls' preferences. Can you pick one? If you have any ideas, feel free to suggest them to me, and I'll make one when I have time!"

Takanashi didn't put the bag on her own desk. Instead, she chose the desk in the middle of the classroom, belonging to a girl, and after getting permission, poured the clay onto the desk.

"Everyone, come and choose!"

His thoughtful gesture won the hearts of many young girls.

And so, the classroom ended up with a group of boys at the teacher's desk, a group of girls in the middle of the classroom, and a lone person by the window.

Shiraishi Sawa was eating his bento box with great care. He had to attend an internal meeting of the Organization Department at noon today and wouldn't have time to eat lunch in the cafeteria. The reason Shiraishi Sawa got up at six o'clock this morning was to make time to prepare a bento box for himself.

To be honest, Shiraishi Sawa Hide really doesn't like eating food that's half-cold.

"I still want to eat hot rice from the cafeteria."

"Shiraishi-kun, everyone else has already made their choices, and you're the only one left. There are also these; do you like any of them?" Takanashi Yuko said to Shiraishi Sawa, holding several clay figurines in her arms.

Having just finished eating, Shiraishi Sawa wiped his mouth with a tissue and then his hands. He randomly picked one from Takanashi Yuuko's arms, smiled slightly at her, and showed her the 'thank you' message on his phone screen.

After placing the doll in the cabinet, Shiraishi Sawahide got up and headed to the meeting.

At that moment, several girls also began to tell Yuko Takanashi about the various deeds of Hideaki Shiraishi.

--

Soon, at the door of the agreed classroom, Shiraishizawa saw Oki Taichi squatting on the ground eating a giant rice ball, which was quite befitting of his physique.

Shiraishi Sawashu walked over and sat down next to him, and the two started chatting again while looking at Shiraishi Sawashu's phone screen.

"Shiraishi-kun, just go in. There are already a lot of people inside," Taichi Oki mumbled through his rice ball.

"Forget it, Minister Oki, let's go in together later. If we go in now, we'll probably be stared at like monkeys."

"We also have a few cute girls in our department. They definitely won't let you be treated like a monkey; they'll come to you on their own initiative."

"That's what I'm more afraid of."

"If I were as handsome as you, maybe Miko could be my girlfriend!"

"But you, Minister Oki, have a pretty good image too, don't you?"

"But my club members and old friends all say I'm too muscular and they don't like me. Oh well, I don't care. I just hope Miko will like me."

"Minister, have you ever confessed your feelings?"

Taichi Oki stuffed the last bite of rice ball into his mouth, scratched his head sheepishly, and smiled. "Never before, but I recently passed my second-degree black belt in Taekwondo, so I finally have the courage to make a move on Miko!"

Shiraishi Zexiu gave an awkward smile to show his respect. These days, do you still need a black belt in Taekwondo to confess your feelings?

"Okay, we'll discuss the specifics together in the organization department later. The student council's task is secondary!" Taichi Oki clapped his hands forcefully and stood up.

"Minister Oki, you really don't deserve your position for saying that. I never expected you to be someone who sits on the sidelines without doing any real work."

"The most important events in life!"

--

After a while, everyone arrived, and the meeting officially began.

The last student council meeting was attended by department heads, vice-heads, and freshman representatives, so not all members were present.

So the opening scene involved Shiraishi Sawa introducing Shiraishi Sawa to the members of the organization department one by one.

"Very good, then let's begin the meeting. The task of this meeting is to solve three problems! What kind of fun sports can we do? How do we prepare the props? And how do we win over Vice President Shimizu!"

"Next, let's start with the simplest 'what kind of fun sports'. I've actually prepared a lot for this: three-legged race, ping-pong relay race, kangaroo relay jump, caterpillar group walk..."

After much discussion and nodding from everyone, Shiraishi Sawah decided on the fun competition event of a caterpillar group walking.

The so-called caterpillar group walk is a competition where a group of people ride on a giant inflatable caterpillar and see who can walk the fastest, which tests the coordination of multiple people.

"Okay, the next question is, where do we get the props?"

"Morning classmate, I remember you also joined the craft club, right?" Taichi Oki asked a girl.

"Yes, Minister, but our crafts department can't make these kinds of things. At most, we can support you in buying the props so we can make them look better."

"Looks like we'll have to buy it then. No problem, I'll just apply for funding from the office during the meeting this week. Great, all the unimportant issues are resolved now."

This was the most perfunctory formal meeting Shiraishi Sawa had ever experienced, and it actually felt pretty good.

"The most important question is, how should I, the department head, win over Vice President Shimizu!"

Daiichi Oki solemnly scanned the eyes of each club member.

"Last year, I felt inferior because I didn't have a black belt in Taekwondo and didn't dare to confess my feelings to Shimizu. Now, things are different. I finally got my black belt! Now, it's time for you members to help me!"

Under such intense scrutiny, all team members were energized and filled with enthusiasm!

"Minister, we support you!" "You'll definitely become the vice president!"

Then everyone started seriously offering bad ideas to Taichi Oki.

This is Shiraishi Sawa's assessment; even he can sense that the suggestion is becoming increasingly unrestrained.

"Minister Oki, why don't you go and challenge Vice President Shimizu to a Taekwondo match? Maybe you'll develop feelings for each other while you're sparring!"

"No, that's not a good idea. I get weak in the knees whenever I see Miko, and I just can't bring myself to do it."

"Minister Oki, why don't you just stop the vice president on the street tomorrow and give her a wall slam?"

"No, I'm afraid she'll deliver a fatal kick while I'm pinning her against the wall."

"Minister Ōki, how about a hero saves the damsel in distress? You'll have someone dress up as a robber, and you'll come to her rescue at the crucial moment?"

"That's not a good idea. Normal robbers wouldn't rob Shimizu, and the people I hire might not be able to beat her."

"Minister Oki, don't you often see storylines on TV where two rivals develop a mutual respect after fighting each other? Why don't you just have a match with Vice Minister Shimizu?"

"That's not right. If I win, it's an unfair victory; if I lose, I'll lose all face."

"Minister Oki, on Friday you should first openly challenge the vice president, saying she is not qualified to be the vice president, and then we can mediate between them and finally get her attention, how about that?"

"That's not appropriate. If you want to change ministers, you can just say so."
