A comic book, but a librarian

Uesugi Sumire took out his phone skillfully and started calling out names one by one on the list. In fact, it's not that Shirogane Miyuki and Shinomiya Kaguya were unaware of these things, but there were just too many of them, and it was impossible for them to help these people correct them one by one. It would be more incredible that the student union composed of these few people can still function now.

"Damn it! These people are so bold! I've only been away for one semester and they're already thinking about going to heaven."

Uesugi Sumire started swearing as usual, while Shinomiya Kaguya sat expressionlessly on the deputy seat, passing documents to Uesugi Sumire. These documents had already been preliminarily reviewed by Shirogane Miyuki, but since Shirogane Miyuki was already sleeping on the sofa next to them and was snoring, Uesugi Sumire had to take over the rest of the work.

"Why don't we find a time to ask Hayasaka to come over and help? Otherwise, if the president gets up and works with Uesugi, we probably won't be able to finish the job."

Looking at the mountain of documents in front of her and then at Shirogane Miyuki who was sleeping soundly, Shinomiya Kaguya decided without hesitation to let Shirogane sleep more. After all, her attendant could come and help with work as long as he found a suitable reason.

"Hey, yes, you can explain why these are needed for the Fengxin Festival. No, don't explain it to me on the phone. Come here yourself, bring a PPT or something to help you explain. If you can't explain it, just wait for the budget to be halved and then halved again. I think it's reasonable. I think you guys think so too, right?"

Uesugi Sumira seemed to be getting more and more angry, but Shinomiya Kaguya didn't care about Uesugi Sumira's thoughts. She looked at Shirogane Miyuki's sleeping face, and her heartbeat seemed to speed up. She didn't expect that even though he was so tired, President Shirogane, who barely found time to fall asleep, looked so charming when he was sleeping.

As a result, the atmosphere in the entire office became more and more weird, and even seemed murderous.

"Kaguya!!! I'm here with a project proposal!!"

The door was pushed open suddenly. Ishigami Yu, who had been burned to only snow-white ash, tried his last effort to hold Fujiwara Chika, but his physical fitness was not as good as Fujiwara Chika's, and his effect in stopping her was almost negligible.

"Ah!! Project proposal!! Wait, I'm almost there!"

Shirogane Miyuki jumped up instantly as if an alarm clock had rang. Without even rubbing his eyes, he wanted to rush to the desk and start working. Then he saw Uesugi Sumiko, who had an expressionless face and looked like a dead person, and he was instantly frightened awake.

"What's the situation now?"

"Ah, you were so asleep, so I'm here to take your place. Oh, I've cleaned up these things for you, and I've approved all of them. You can review them now, and if you don't want them to be approved, don't approve them."

Uesugi Sumiko's expression remained unchanged, and he turned to look at Fujiwara Chika, who was full of energy just now but now was as motionless as a stuck puppet.

"Why, didn't Fujiwara say that the board game club's project proposal has been brought out? Bring it over and take a look."

Ishigami Yu shuddered. Uesugi Sumika's tone was unexpectedly gentle, but for some reason, he felt a fear that was even more serious than the threat posed by the expressionless Uesugi Sumika just now.

"Um... this... ahahaha, no, the board game club's project proposal is still being revised. Um, I just came to see how the president is doing. Since the president is fine now, I will go back and revise the project proposal with them."

Fujiwara Chika's tone became obviously erratic, and she began to slowly back away, trying to leave the student council president's office.

"Is that so? Then remember to ask them to hand it in on time, otherwise our review will be more stringent."

Uesugi Sumire glanced at the roll of paper in Fujiwara Chika's hand. Of course, the moment Chika realized this, she immediately hid the paper with her hands behind her back, then backed away while nodding frantically. She was completely different from when she came in, and when she left, she almost ran away.

"It's really amazing..."

Ishigami Yu finally caught his breath. He felt that he was almost able to grab Fujiwara Chika, but unfortunately he was just a little short. He gestured with his fingers in his mind.

"Okay, the last trouble has been sent away, and the remaining work has been put on track. Please prepare for the next review."

"I have written it, Uesugi. It's troublesome for you to finish these things."

Baiyin Yuxing leaned on the table, took two deep breaths, and then returned to his usual appearance.

"Nothing, I have something to ask you guys. This matter is rather strange, but you should have an impression of Baiyin."

As Uesugi Cheng said this, Shirogane Miyuki instantly perked up.

Chapter 273: Shuchiin's 'Treasure'

"What? What happened?"

Shirogane Miyuki's tone subconsciously became serious. Uesugi Cheng usually didn't speak in this tone, but when he used this tone, it meant that the matter was probably not trivial.

"Oh, do you remember that last time? Although I think I only gave one sentence as a response, it was probably before the holidays."

Uesugi Cheng let out a long sigh, and after finishing the work, the feeling of fatigue also surged up. He really didn't like doing this kind of thing, even though these things were not difficult for him.

"Oh, wait... is that the case? Is there something new going on?"

Shirogane Miyuki became visibly nervous, and it was obvious that he still remembered the incident that resulted in the disappearance and even death of people in Shuchiin.

"Eh? What's going on?"

It was obvious that Kaguya Shinomiya had not heard any news about this. She just knew that there seemed to be missing people, and the news was deliberately covered up.

"Ah, these are some meaningless investigative reports. From the current perspective, the unlucky guy's death was more of an accident. It was just his bad luck."

Uesugi Sumiko tried his best to adjust his tone and intonation. His subconscious tone might have made Shinomiya Kaguya discover something that had nothing to do with her and should not be known to her.

"Is that so? But if it's over, let it go."

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded. She chose not to ask any further questions. After all, on the one hand, this matter involved a dead person, and on the other hand, they didn't seem willing to talk about it, so she simply didn't want to make herself unhappy. There were many things in the world that she didn't need to know. Shinomiya Kaguya never minded knowing one more thing like this.

Then she looked at Uesugi Sumire. She always had an inexplicable feeling that Uesugi Sumire seemed completely different from the last time they met.

"Wait, you weren't like this before, how should I put it... You were more like a melancholy type of guy, but now you're more than just melancholy, you're full of office worker temperament."

After saying this, Kaguya Shinomiya turned her head away feeling embarrassed. She didn't know why these words came out of her mouth subconsciously. It was obviously not what she, as the vice president, should say.

'Is it affected to some extent? Even though I tried my best to control it.'

Uesugi Sumire fiddled with his hair casually, then rubbed his face. In an instant, the Uesugi Sumire that the student union members were familiar with returned to them.

"It's just a little trick. After all, it's not a glorious thing for me to go to the integration. Wouldn't it be better if fewer people knew me?"

Uesugi Sumiko simply cooperated and changed the subject. He knew very well why Kaguya Shinomiya blurted out those words. As an immortal, he inevitably affected the people around him to a certain extent, especially since he seemed a little angry just now. Perhaps this was why Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but say more words for a period of time.

"That's right. Let's put these things to an end. Kaguya, I'm sorry to bother you during this period... No, Shinomiya-san."

Shirogane Miyuki immediately turned his head away like Kaguya Shinomiya. He realized that he had inexplicably called out Kaguya Shinomiya's name, which seemed to mean... he lost? In this battle of love brains? !

Shirogane Miyuki's heart suddenly sounded alarm bells. He looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, but he didn't expect that their eyes would meet. Then both of them immediately turned their heads away.

"Senior, can you just... let them be more direct, like say a room where they can't leave without doing something, can this kind of thing exist occasionally in this world?"

Ishigami Yu had countless complaints in his heart, but in the end he just gave Uesugi Sumiya a look, although he felt that the amount of information contained in that look was definitely enough.

Uesugi Cheng didn't say anything. He seemed to have emptied his mind and stared at the ceiling with dull eyes, as if he was very used to it and was not shaken at all.

"It's alright, let's all go take a rest first and continue with these tasks in the afternoon. Uesugi, you've been a great help."

Shirogane Miyuki immediately came to the rescue. Based on Kaguya Shinomiya's expression, he judged that she definitely did not hear the words that just called her name, so the best way was to pretend that nothing had happened.

"Okay, I'm starting to miss the food in the cafeteria too, so I'll be leaving now."

Uesugi Sumire stood up very readily, and walked out of the office without looking back. He came back to Shuchiin, not only to solve the problems caused by his hasty handover, but also to make use of the Shuchiin library.

Unlike Unified High School, the books in the library of a true aristocratic academy like Shuchiin would be even more precious and rare, as long as he had the authority to borrow them.

"Ah, President, you came just in time. Are you used to it?"

Uesugi Sumire did not go to the cafeteria, but went to the rooftop and waited for Shirogane Miyuki.

"I was exhausted, but luckily Ishigami tried very hard to make up for it. Thank you very much this time. Otherwise, the matter of the Fengxin Festival would be a little more complicated. Regarding the thing you mentioned, the school has indeed dealt with it coldly. Even the child of the Superintendent of Police didn't get any wind of it. Anything related to the supernatural has really been completely blocked."

Baiyin Yuxing sighed, haste and pressure always bring this kind of helplessness.

"Ah, after all, it's not appropriate to say this to the public. Oh, by the way, I want to ask you a favor."

Uesugi Cheng spoke, and Shirogane Miyuki had already expected it.

"I will definitely help if I can. Tell me what it is first."

"I want to borrow some less commonly used materials from the Shuchiin library. I remember the student council president has a lot of authority in this regard."

"That's no problem. What happened? Is there any relevant information in the library?"

"Please help me pay attention to what this person Kunihiko Aso wrote, and then the less popular information. Shirogane, don't be afraid to tell you the truth."

When Uesugi Cheng spoke, Shirogane Yuxing's heart tightened.

"Tokyo has many historical problems. Most of the time, they don't affect people, but sometimes... it's like that unlucky guy."

Upon hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki almost felt dizzy. He didn't know how serious the so-called historical legacy issues were, but he remembered very clearly the student from Shuchiin who disappeared at the station and died in unknown circumstances.

"I understand. I'll see what to do at the library now. I'll leave the rest to you."

Baiyin Yuxing nodded. In this kind of thing, he could probably only provide logistical assistance, so he had to do everything he could.

Chapter 274 Investigations from all aspects.

Shirogane Miyuki came and went quickly. This kind of unofficial private meeting was taking up Shirogane Miyuki's own time. He would have to come back to prepare for work after dinner. It must be said that after being the student council president in Shuchiin for so long, he felt that he was almost accustomed to the high-intensity work.

Uesugi Sumiko did not leave the rooftop. He bit the candy he brought with him and looked down from the rooftop. Not long after, a girl with light blue hair and a hat opened the door of the rooftop with her sleeping bag. She looked like she was going to have a good sleep. However, after she pushed open the door of the rooftop and saw Uesugi Sumiko leaning casually on the railing of the rooftop looking at the sky, she immediately wanted to step back and move to another place.

"What's wrong? Do I look scary, Longzhu-san?"

Uesugi Sumiko stopped the person with just one sentence. Ryuju Momo, the daughter of the boss of the Ryuju Gang, is a real gangster's daughter. However, even the child of the Superintendent of Police is studying in Shuchiin, so Ryuju Momo's identity does not have much deterrent effect here.

"No, I just don't want to be confronted by a maddening guy during my nice nap time. It won't do anything good for my mental and physical health."

Seeing that she probably had no way to escape, Long Zhutao simply took her sleeping bag and game console to the rooftop and started to spread out the sleeping bag.

"It seems that I am really annoying, but even so I will not suddenly disappear from your sight. I think Longzhu-san should learn how to get along with annoying people occasionally. This is my personal advice."

"Really? I think you, a guy who sent someone to the hospital, are the least qualified to say this. Besides...how many people in the club do you think don't hate you?"

Longzhu Tao was very speechless. She didn't expect Uesugi Cheng to give such an answer that seemed to have no self-awareness at all.

"You're stuck with the club's budget and proposals every day. As far as I know, there are people who call you a stingy bastard and say they want to send you to Southeast Asia every day."

"Then let them come and confront me themselves if I really did something wrong."

"That's what makes me angry. Even in the astronomy club where there are basically no disputes, everyone knows the saying 'Whatever the evil spirit secretary says, that's the price. Don't give him a chance to talk, otherwise you won't be able to keep either the budget or the plan.'"

An imperceptible smile appeared on Longzhu Tao's face for a moment, as if she was gloating over the misfortune of some clubs. Then she immediately got into her sleeping bag and prepared to put on a blindfold to pretend she didn't see anything. After all, the astronomy club she was in had also been questioned by Uesugi Cheng.

"Longzhu, if I remember correctly, your family is quite influential in Tokyo, right?"

"At most, we are just local tyrants. After all, Tokyo is a place full of people who have come from other places. We are just surviving in the cracks. Compared to you guys who can get a lot of resources just by using your surname."

Longzhu Tao put on an eye mask, but did not take out earplugs. Even she herself didn't know why she didn't put on headphones to block out Uesugi Cheng's voice.

"I see. Do you mind if I ask you to do something? Or should I ask the Dragon Ball Gang to do something?"

"Why, Master Uesugi has something shameful to do?"

"No, I just want you to take some photos for me. Tokyo is really too big, and I don't want to go to so many places, so I'll just entrust it to you. Don't worry, I won't give you less."

Uesugi Cheng crushed the last piece of candy, swallowed it, then stood up and patted his clothes.

"After all, this kind of work can be considered a bit dangerous."

"What do you mean? Are you shooting some big shot? We don't dare to get involved. You should find someone else."

"No, on the contrary, it's best not to have anyone in the photo. Or...if your family is planning to accept this commission, you'd better pray that there's nothing in the photo except the scenery."

Longzhu Tao was stunned, she could tell that Uesugi Cheng said this sincerely, that's why she couldn't understand. She had heard such entrustment at home before, but this was the first time she heard Uesugi Cheng say it like this.

"Then I will have to listen to what Master Uesugi plans to ask us to do."

So Longzhu Tao took off her blindfold, crawled out of the sleeping bag, and looked at Uesugi Cheng seriously. She felt an inexplicable fear in her heart, a fear that she hated, so she had to eliminate it.

……

"Something's wrong with this street... Uesugi is right. Tokyo is full of historical problems that make people feel annoyed. There are even new problems caused by these things. No... I have to retreat first."

Hikigaya Hachiman had a blank expression on his face as he slowly left the street that made him feel ominous. He stopped talking, silently got on his bicycle, left the place without looking back, and then drew a big cross on the map.

He had already investigated most of the other places. Some of them were small fish and shrimps with little fighting power, or simply became haunted places just because of hype. However, this old neighborhood gave him an ominous feeling just by stepping into it. In order not to disturb the guys entrenched here, he chose to leave first.

"Uesugi, I've finished investigating the first part of the locations. I'll send you a report later. There's only one place I think needs special attention."

The current time was attached to the end of the text message. Hikigaya Hachiman put away his phone and returned home. Komachi seemed a little surprised that he had been running outside so often recently, but as far as he himself wished, he wished he could stay at home and have a good sleep.

"Brother, where did you go today? You are completely different from before."

Komachi held the milk and looked at Hikigaya Hachiman, who still had dead eyes but a sharp temperament that made people dare not look directly at him. She rubbed her eyes and seemed to have been waiting for a while.

"Nothing, I just went out for a walk. My parents won't be home for lunch today. Do you want something to eat?"

Hikigaya Hachiman turned back into the good brother in an instant, and the change was so fast that Hikigaya Komachi widened her eyes in surprise.

"It's all right. I'll make whatever you want to eat. After all, it's rare for you to ask about these things today."

Komachi smiled very happily.

After Hikigaya Hachiman confirmed that the talisman was still functioning intact, he casually talked to Komachi, returned to his room, took out the huge map, and started working.
