I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

The female shop assistant next to him nodded knowingly and made an OK sign. This was something that Karuizawa had discussed with the female shop assistant when he came to scout out the location yesterday.

She wants to sell a scarf that doesn't belong in the store, and in addition to the sale price, she's willing to pay an extra 10,000 points as a reward.

The female shop assistant readily agreed to Karuizawa's request, and only after seeing her gesture did Karuizawa finally feel completely relieved.

Next, we just wait for Tianyin to come back after buying the milk tea.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Tianyin returned with two steaming cups of milk tea.

"I didn't expect the milk tea shops here to be so slow. Their order fulfillment rate is less than one-tenth of the Palette brand, and I had to wait there for ages. Is the strawberry flavor okay?"

Amane first complained about the long service time at the milk tea shop before carefully handing the hot milk tea to Karuizawa.

Karuizawa quickly and happily accepted the milk tea.

"I'll drink anything that you buy for me, Tianyin, no matter what it tastes like."

Hearing the somewhat familiar words, Amane was first taken aback, and then realized when she saw Karuizawa's smug expression that Karuizawa was still somewhat resentful of her perfunctory attitude.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Karuizawa suddenly called and asked Amane to go shopping with her. Before going shopping, Amane was naturally busy with her own things. What was she busy with?

Before receiving the message from Karuizawa, Amane was discussing with Sakayanagi the topic of in-depth development, farmland flooding, and irrigation. Sakayanagi was thoroughly outwitted by Amane's eloquent arguments. Just as Amane was about to give Sakayanagi a good beating, the message from Karuizawa forced her to interrupt her hard work, which was more than halfway done.

Because... although we could find a reason to refuse, we don't live that far apart, and there's the rule against leaving the school. If Karuizawa went directly to Amane's house and couldn't find her, and was found out that he had lied to her, then things would get serious.

Left with no other choice, Amane agreed to go shopping for clothes with Karuizawa, but her mind was still on that snow-white skin...

Therefore, her answers were often absent-minded and perfunctory, so it was normal for Karuizawa to be dissatisfied with Amane's attitude, and Amane could understand.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore. I was wrong before. How about we give my Hui a good reward when we get back?"

Amane whispered in Karuizawa's ear.

Karuizawa, like a frightened little rabbit, quickly kept her distance from Amane.

"Come on! I don't want any reward. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Tianyin! It's probably all some... lewd stuff... hmph!"

Karuizawa suddenly strode into the store as if he was angry. Amane, who mistakenly thought Karuizawa was really angry, quickly followed him and, unsurprisingly, immediately spotted the artistic scarf.

When Karuizawa noticed that Amane's gaze was fixed on the scarf she had knitted herself, she was secretly pleased. As expected, Amane had good taste!

However, the next second after hearing Amane's evaluation, Karuizawa felt like rushing up and biting Amane.

"What an ugly scarf..."

Even Tianyin, who is usually very tolerant of novel things and works of art, couldn't help but give it an ugly review.

It's easy to imagine how poorly made this scarf was.

Karuizawa's face instantly darkened.

Amane keenly noticed that Karuizawa's expression was off and immediately realized something. Just then, Karuizawa walked over, picked up the scarf, looked it over from left to right, and then showed it to Amane with a very fond expression.

"Tianyin, look, isn't this scarf really nice? Why don't we buy it? I just noticed you need a spare scarf... What do you think?"

Seeing Karuizawa's expectant gaze, Amane could only shrug.

"It really is... quite beautiful, so let's buy it."

"Great!"

Seeing that her scarf had been approved and purchased by Amane, saving her the trouble of persuading her, Karuizawa couldn't help but happily jump around holding the scarf.

Seeing Karuizawa laughing so happily, Amane also smiled.

If everyone could be as easily satisfied as Hui, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Chapter 151: Does the school have a disciplinary department?

Located on the top floor of the student union office building, in the meeting room of the student union's discipline department, a long-awaited meeting was about to begin. Originally, the head of the discipline committee was Katsuragi Kohei.

Since Katsuragi Kohei was angered by Kiriyama and announced that he would voluntarily resign from the position of disciplinary committee chairman, the position has been temporarily vacant until recently when the student council received an order from the school.

The student council is required to begin full operation now in preparation for the new semester.

The other departments are relatively easy to deal with, since school hasn't officially started yet, so they won't encounter any problems for the time being. But the Discipline Department is a different story.

The school's future direction is very clear: to strictly crack down on school bullying. As a result, the Discipline Department, the only effective violence control department of the student council, has come in handy.

Kiriyama originally planned to assign second-year students to manage the disciplinary committee, but this was shelved due to Sakayanagi's opposition. Sakayanagi's reason was simple: the disciplinary committee was originally formed with first-year students at its core, and its members were unfamiliar with the second-year students. If a second-year student were to lead it, unnecessary trouble could arise. Furthermore, Amane had anticipated internal conflicts among the first-year students when creating the disciplinary committee, so its members came from the four first-year classes.

In this way, even if someone within the disciplinary department tries to benefit their own class, they will be immediately reported and exposed, and there will be no need for upperclassmen to supervise them.

After seeing that Sakayanagi firmly rejected his arrangement, Kiriyama simply stopped caring about the department and handed over the power to appoint the head of the disciplinary committee to Sakayanagi.

To his utter surprise, Sakayanagi appointed him as the head of the disciplinary committee, a move that left Kiriyama completely dumbfounded.

The power struggle should ideally resemble a proxy struggle, where pieces are constantly placed on a chessboard, and then the pieces fight each other, with one piece capturing another.

But Sakayanagi deliberately took an unconventional approach and directly confronted the king. If it were anyone else, they would have chosen to fight back against Sakayanagi's arrogant provocation.

However, Kiriyama no longer had that thought. He knew that he had no way to stop Sakayanagi from stealing his power as student council president. Since he couldn't stop it, he might as well just wait it out. As long as he could hold out until the time for the handover of student council president, he, Kiriyama Ikuha, would officially become the student council president recorded in the school's history.

Gao Yu also treats the student council president very well, writing a letter of recommendation from the school for each former student council president. Having that letter is no different from graduating from Class A.

So Kiriyama, who once had ambitious plans to make a name for himself at the university, decided to just coast along as student council president.

Therefore, he tried his best to avoid unnecessary conflicts with Sakayanagi.

Sakayanagi also completely seized power in the Disciplinary Committee.

After taking over the student council's discipline department, the first thing Tianyin did was to hold a meeting of the discipline department, hoping to have a good talk with the members about the department's future actions and plans.

Besides Katsuragi Kohei, the members of the Disciplinary Committee include Kito Hayato from Class A of the first year, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Matsushita Chiaki from Class B of the first year, Yamada Albert and Ibuki Mio from Class C of the first year, Himeno Yuki from Class D of the first year, and Kanzaki Ryuji.

When Sakayanagi first saw the list, he noticed a problem: Amane had selected two people from each class to join the disciplinary committee in order to balance the selection process.

The selection process generally follows the rule of pairing one boy and one girl from each class. The boys in the Discipline Department are usually those who are somewhat well-known in the school.

Hayabusa Kito, a student from Class A in the first year, shone brightly at the sports festival and became a fearsome weapon of Class A.

Needless to say, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji from Class 1-B has also shone brightly. After showing his brilliance at the Sports Festival, he led the boys' team to first place in the recent forest training camp. With his handsome and aloof appearance, coupled with the impression that he was good at fighting left on other students by his past dominance over Amane, Ayanokouji's popularity among first-year students is quite high. He has even surpassed Satoka, who is known for his handsomeness in Class 1-A, to take the top spot in the ranking of boys among first-year girls.

Although Albert Yamada from Class C of the first year only made a brief appearance during the sports festival, his physique alone was enough to intimidate some students from troubled backgrounds. If intimidation is the sole criterion, Albert Yamada should rank first in the entire Disciplinary Committee.

Finally, there's Ryuji Kanzaki. Although his evaluations in various aspects weren't particularly outstanding, Class D fell apart after Ichinose left, and it was this man who single-handedly saved the divided class. Although the internal situation is unknown, at least on the surface, Class D looked like a collective, and Kanzaki's contribution was undoubtedly significant. However, as an opponent, Kanzaki was clearly not a qualified class leader.

Among the boys mentioned above, they all played a good role in suppressing violence. What Sakayanagi couldn't understand was that both Kito and Ayanokouji were unknown people before the sports festival. Kito, in particular, was someone she only learned about by chance during a conversation. How did Nane decide to use these people to form the student council disciplinary committee when they were on the cruise ship?

Could it just be a coincidence?

If it really is a coincidence, there is something even more coincidental, yet strangely unsettling.

The point is that most classes choose one boy and one girl, but in the first year of Class A, Amane chose two boys, Kito and Katsuragi. Why is Class A so special? There are quite a few excellent girls in Class A. Is it really true that there isn't a single one that Amane would like? If she were to choose people according to Amane's thinking, Katsuragi Kohei and Kamuro Masumi would seem to be the most reasonable choices for joining the Disciplinary Committee from Class A.

However, if the matter ends here, it can only be understood that Tianyin randomly selected two boys from Class A.

But coincidentally, after Katsuragi resigned as the head of the disciplinary committee, Sakayanagi gave the position to herself, which resulted in Class A being a boy and a girl by sheer coincidence.

Did Tianyin foresee what's happening now back then?

Sakayanagi shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel such unrealistic thoughts from her mind. She acknowledged Amane's strength, but Amane's strength was the strength of a human being. If someone could have predicted what would happen today eight months ago...

Then this 'person' definitely cannot be a person.

Because this is something that no human could possibly do, no one could have guessed that she would pressure Kiriyama, nor could anyone have imagined that Kiriyama was preparing to hand over the position of disciplinary committee chairman to Koenji in order to win over Koenji.

It was even more unimaginable that Koenji's initial condition for the student council was that the department head could turn a blind eye while letting Katsuragi know about it.

It was absolutely impossible to have expected that Katsuragi would actually fly into a rage and resign from his position as head of the Disciplinary Committee on the spot.

Since the previous events were unpredictable, would anyone have predicted that the person sitting in the position of disciplinary committee chairperson would be Sakayanagi Arisu?

Of course not.

But if you ask her why such a coincidence happened, Sakayanagi can't answer. Perhaps she can only resolve her confusion by trying to get some information from Amane indirectly in the future.

"So what exactly did you call us here for? To be honest, it feels like there's no difference between joining this department and not joining it at all. If there's nothing else to do in the future, then don't call me here again. I hate meetings the most."

Ibuki was the first to state her position.

Sakayanagi smiled and met Ibuki's gaze, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the disciplinary committee members sitting around them.

After noticing that no one else showed any other reaction, Sakayanagi knew that Ibuki was simply telling her what everyone agreed on. If that was all, there was no need to argue with Ibuki. But if someone encouraged Ibuki to do that…

“I don’t want to trouble everyone unless it’s something important. After all, walking up to the top floor is quite strenuous for me, and I don’t want to do something thankless. But the change of the disciplinary committee chairman should be considered a relatively important matter, right? I think it’s only right that everyone should at least meet each other when the new manager takes office. What do you think, Ibuki?”

Hearing what Sakayanagi said, Ibuki could only remain silent. She knew that what Sakayanagi said was normal. Even when Ryuen made a decision, he sometimes had to call a class meeting and let everyone discuss it. Not to mention a big event like a change in the student council president. If it was just a meeting, it could be said that Sakayanagi had already simplified the process considerably.

If you can't even accept this, it might be better to leave the student council's disciplinary committee as soon as possible. However, even if Ibuki wants to leave now, Ryuen will probably not allow it. The school is cracking down on bullying recently, and how can the disciplinary committee function without someone from Class C of the first year?

If only Albert is left, then when voting on certain matters, Class C will be short a vote from the start, which will seriously affect Class C's influence in the Disciplinary Committee and even the school.

That's why even though Ibuki hates meetings, she still has to bite the bullet and come here.

Because she had no choice at all.

"Nasaka Yanagi-san, besides announcing the change of the disciplinary committee chairman, is there anything else you wanted to tell us by calling us here?"

The questioner this time is Yuki Himeno from Class D of the first year.

Not long ago, Class D experienced a large-scale upheaval, so it's possible that she might be annoyed by these social occasions and the need to flaunt her class's strength.

"of course."

Upon seeing Sakayanagi's clear answer, Hime's already lackluster expression became even more helpless.

With Kanzaki watching from the side, she could only barely muster her energy to listen to what Sakayanagi had to say.

"First of all, I am very grateful to everyone for responding to my call and coming here. I am the newly appointed chairman of the Disciplinary Committee and also the vice president of the student council, Sakayanagi Arisu. I hope you will all take good care of me from now on. As I am new here, I am not yet familiar with many of the affairs of the Disciplinary Committee, so I hope you will not hesitate to give me your guidance."

After bowing in greeting, Sakayanagi looked up and saw a strange expression on everyone's face. This puzzled her. Everyone here should know that she was the vice president of the student council, so what was with those strange expressions?

Just as Sakayanagi was a little confused, Ayanokouji hesitated for a moment but then raised his hand. Sakayanagi was very happy to see someone willing to speak and immediately signaled to Ayanokouji that he could speak.

"Excuse me for interrupting your speech, but I wanted to ask... has the Disciplinary Committee really been assigned any tasks?"

"Huh?"

Sakayanagi let out a surprised sound.

She finally understood why everyone's expressions were so strange, and why Kiriyama could casually bestow positions like the head of the disciplinary committee, while both Katsuragi and Koenji nonchalantly chose to give up their positions.

Because... the Disciplinary Department is actually a really lazy department!!

"No specific tasks? What do you all usually do?"

While asking Ayanokouji for advice, Sakayanagi quickly recalled what the disciplinary committees of other schools were mainly responsible for in daily life, so as not to give himself away later.

"We don't usually have the opportunity to get together. Everyone is active in their own class, and maybe they'll go out with friends or something..."

Although Ayanokouji's explanation was somewhat vague, Sakayanagi still understood what kind of situation this violent suppressor was in.

Why is everyone active in their own class?

Isn't that just blatantly telling her that the disciplinary department is a huge trap?

"Didn't Tianyin assign you any daily tasks? Like checking for tardiness or early departures?"

Sakayanagi knew that someone at the school was responsible for tracking tardiness and early departures in each class, but she hadn't investigated the source of the information or knew which department was submitting it. In her opinion, the most suitable department for this task would be the disciplinary department.

But... after exchanging glances, they all shook their heads.

"Miyako-san abandoned the Disciplinary Committee the day after it was established, and Katsuragi-san didn't even show up when he took office. In fact, if it weren't for Sakayanagi-san gathering everyone together, I would have almost forgotten that I was a member of the Disciplinary Committee."

Kanzaki's words further confirmed Sakayanagi's conjecture. At this moment, her head began to throb slightly. Could it be that Amane really left her with a mess?

Chapter 152: As expected of the Heavenly Sound!

Sakayanagi's confidence began to waver.

She originally thought that the reason why the matter in the Discipline Department was put on hold was mainly because most of the people in it were hidden talents with strong personalities. Unless they were monsters like Tianyin who could surpass the understanding of ordinary people when they got serious, it would take some methods to manage such a group of people.

It wasn't until now that Sakayanagi realized that it wasn't like that at all. The reason the Disciplinary Committee was shelved was because neither Amane nor Katsuragi had a detailed and clear plan for the Disciplinary Committee.

This resulted in the Disciplinary Committee being virtually non-existent after its establishment. It's somewhat understandable that Katsuragi did nothing, as he was competing with her for the position of class leader and simply didn't have the extra energy to manage and operate the Disciplinary Committee.

Furthermore, in Sakayanagi's view, Katsuragi's abilities were only at that level, and expecting him to be able to build and operate a department was really asking too much of him.

But... Tianyin shouldn't be like this.

Even though Tianyin's tenure was very short, who is Tianyin? If Tianyin were to plan a department, she would probably only need less than half a day to establish the basic operating methods and processes.

But Tianyin deliberately left an empty shell here.

The question then returns to the beginning.
