How could Matsueda Azusa not see what Miura Yumiko was planning?

But he didn't intend to expose her, and couldn't help but laugh: "Would I be scared? Are you kidding? I'm super brave, okay?"

Miura Yumiko raised the corner of her mouth: "So you agree?"

"Someone is desperate to join my club. As a leader determined to make the organization great again, why would I refuse?"

Matsueda Azusa spread his hands and said, "Welcome to the Improper Relationship Supervision Department. From now on, you are the fourth of our Four Heavenly Kings. Don't forget to submit your application form."

Hikigaya Hachiman was utterly amazed at this scene, which made one think it could only have happened in a dream. He secretly smacked his lips: What the hell is wrong with this poor girl, Miura Yumiko? She actually volunteered to join this club. How foolish! Is this Stockholm syndrome?

"No problem, that's settled."

Miura Yumiko looked straight at Matsueda Azusa and said, "Then I'll be grateful for your guidance from now on, Chief!"

"You are really lucky. You caught the right timing."

Matsueda Azusa snapped his fingers. "It just so happens that today's club activities have already been decided. You'll be in for a treat once you join. Why don't you say thank you, Chief Matsueda?"

"Oh?"

Miura Yumiko was about to go back to her seat when she heard Matsueda Azusa say that. She subconsciously asked, "What event?"

"Didn't you see what just happened at the door?"

Matsueda Azusa waved the small notebook in his hand, a sinister smile on his lips: "I didn't say I'd let them go. I hadn't planned to deal with this couple so hastily, but since they're so arrogant as to jump out at me, I'll just take care of them."

Yumiko Miura couldn't help but mourn for the Literature Club in her heart. Why did she have to provoke Matsueda Azusa, a petty and vindictive guy... Now she's done for.

49. What were you doing this morning?

The activity classroom of the Arts and Literature Department welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

Originally, Matsueda Azusa was planning to bring the entire Improper Relationship Supervision Department to watch the show, but unfortunately, the nagging guy Onmizu Kazuhiko felt that it would be too embarrassing for him to show up in such an occasion and it would cause unnecessary trouble, so he declined.

In the past two days, Yana saw that Xingna was a little depressed again, and Matsueda Azusa was worried that she would accidentally expose her scars when attacking the two people in the literature club, so she simply let her move freely.

Alas, Songzhi Zi is too gentle.

In the end, only Hikigaya Hachiman, Miura Yumiko, and Matsueda Azusa were left, and they followed Shikiya Yumeko from the student council to the literature club.

As the door of the activity classroom was opened, the three people from the Arts Department were instantly exposed to everyone's sight.

Azusa Matsueda casually glanced at the scene in the classroom. On one side stood a bookshelf reaching the ceiling, filled with books without any gaps - how much club funds did these guys get for free?

The moment she saw Matsueda Azusa, Xiaoju Zhihua seemed to have PTSD. She threw the book in her hand on the table in panic, curled up with her hands on her head, stared at her toes, trembling all over, and didn't dare to say a word.

Miura Yumiko couldn't help but elbow Matsueda Azusa and whispered, "Look at you, you scared the little girl like that."

"Can you blame me?"

Matsueda Azusa spread her hands innocently and said, "I'm just telling the truth. And it's not me who wants to abolish their club, it's the student council."

Seeing Xiaoju Zhihua's frightened look, a senior with two long braids and glasses immediately stood up and stood in front of her.

Another senior with short hair stood up and glared at Matsueda Azusa with the senior girl with glasses.

These two should be the president and vice-president of the literature club - Shintaro Tamaki and Koto Tsukinoki.

Before Shikiya Yumeko, who for some reason exuded an air of exhaustion, could say anything, Tamaki Shintaro spoke up, "I've heard rumors about you before, but scaring Komari like this is a bit too much, isn't it?! There's actually a bully like this in school who's bullying his classmates. Don't you think the student council is going to do anything about it?"

Songzhi Zi couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't even bothered this guy yet, and he had already come to him.

He turned his head to look at Shikiya Yumeko, pointed at himself, and his meaning was obvious: "Can I play freely now?"

Hiding at the back, blending into the shadows, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but reveal a look of pity – this guy, why did he have to mess with Matsueda Azusa when he could mess with anyone else…

Shikiya Yumeko leaned limply against the wall and nodded to Matsueda Azusa, "Just don't go too far... Also, don't spend too much time on this. The main task is to resolve the issue of the Arts Club being abolished."

"Got it, I promise a quick and decisive battle."

Matsueda Azusa made an "OK" gesture, then crossed his arms and looked at Tamaki Shintaro provocatively: "Oh? Tamaki-senpai, you've heard rumors about me? Is it good or bad?"

Tamaki Shintaro didn't expect Matsueda Azusa to ask such a meaningless question, and he answered without even thinking, "How can it be a good rumor? Matsueda-san, don't you have the slightest idea of ​​what you've done? Everyone thinks you're a troublesome and aggressive villain!"

Miura Yumiko touched her chin and nodded: "I agree with this."

"Oh~ I thought you didn't know, but it turns out you know it very well."

Songzhi Zi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and asked, "Then why did you ask Xiaoju to come to me?"

Tamaki Shintaro paused for a moment, having completely failed to anticipate Matsueda Azusa's words. He stared blankly at him, "Huh?"

"No, man, you know I'm a jerk whose favorite thing to do is bully my classmates, so why did you rush to order your club members to come find me? Is she a masochist or do you just like watching her get bullied? Sometimes I really don't understand how you guys think."

Matsueda Azusa looked puzzled. "You're acting like you're standing up for her and trying to protect her, but isn't it possible that she didn't need to be like this in the first place? What were you doing earlier?"

"If you really wanted to protect her, you shouldn't have let her come to me in the first place, knowing that I had such a bad reputation, instead of pretending to stand up and accuse her after she was bullied."

"And is there a possibility, I'm just saying a possibility... Faced with such a serious matter as the disbanding of the department, shouldn't you, as the department head, step forward and find a solution? You're a department head, and the oldest senior at that, but you do nothing but sit behind the other members and watch, letting your junior do everything for you. When she was bullied, she didn't take the initiative to come to me to solve the problem. Instead, she waited until we came to her door and pretended to blame me. How could you be like this... Man, aren't you a jerk?"

Yumiko Miura looked at Matsueda Azusa in shock. She didn't expect that what this guy said actually made some sense. She thought this guy would start verbal attacks directly, but he actually started to reason.

Shintaro Tamaki was speechless in rebuttal for a moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He subconsciously took a step back, knocking the folding chair behind him to the ground with a loud "bang".

Even Tsuki no Ki, who had originally shared his hatred for the enemy, was stunned. He withdrew his gaze from Matsueda Azusa and looked at Tamaki Shintaro with confusion. Komari Chika, who had been trembling with fear, also had a blank look on her face, as if she had just realized what had happened.

"No, that's not right! Why are you blaming me? This whole thing was your fault for bullying your classmates, right?"

Shintaro Tamaki sweatdropped and tried to refute quickly.

"Well, first of all, although I don't think I've ever bullied my classmates, if I had, Shikiya-senpai certainly wouldn't have stood idly by. But since you all think so, let's put that aside for now and just treat me as a bully."

Songzhi Zi has always been indifferent: "So, I am an asshole. It is true that I did something wrong, but so what? What does it prove that I did something wrong? It doesn't prove that you did something right."

"This is like a situation where you and a few of you are confronted by a murderer. You know full well that the murderer is armed with a weapon and is highly likely to injure someone. Yet, instead of protecting your members—oh, forget protecting them, you don't even beg for mercy yourself—you point at your members and tell them to go and beg the murderer for mercy, to let us go."

"After the criminals attacked and injured one of your members, you jumped in to criticize them, saying, 'How could you really hurt someone? That's too much!' ... Man, are you really sick or is there something wrong with your brain? You've taken refined egoism to its extremes."

Shintaro Tamaki was speechless - Matsueda Azusa had admitted that he was a bastard, and he could even say such words that hurt the enemy by eight hundred and hurt himself by a thousand, how else could he refute?

When other people quarrel, they always say "I'm not bad, you're bad" and "You're the bad one" and keep going back and forth. Songzhi Zi is different. She directly says "I'm bad, so what? It's none of your business if I'm bad, you're bad too!"

It killed the game immediately.

And indeed the crux of the problem lies in this point - "Matsueda Azusa is a bad person", this matter has nothing to do with Tsukinoki Koto and Komari Chika, at least not much, but "Tamaki Shintaro is a bad person", this matter really has a lot to do with the two of them.

"Indeed..."

Although this was clearly a time to stand firm with Tamaki Shintaro, Tsukinoki Koto couldn't help but ask, "Shintaro, I've been vaguely feeling something was amiss before, and now that I think about it, it really seems problematic—what on earth was your reasoning behind having Komari go find Matsueda-san?"

After these words were spoken, even Chika Komari subconsciously looked at Shintaro Tamaki, hoping to seek an explanation.

50. Explosion! Big explosion!

"This...I..."

Shintaro Tamaki sweatdropped and stammered as he explained, "I just... didn't expect something like this to happen. After all, isn't it normal for the captain to ask the members to help with something? Who would have thought that he would really be as ruthless as the rumors say!"

"Ah, yes, yes, you just didn't expect it."

Matsueda Azusa shrugged. "Although I'm a well-known jerk at school for my slanderous and aggressive nature, you didn't expect me to be truly aggressive. Although Xiaoju is clearly socially anxious, unsociable, and unable to withstand strong reactions, you didn't expect her to be unable to withstand verbal attacks. You're absolutely right, you're not wrong, you just didn't expect anything."

Miura Yumiko held her forehead with her hand: "Have you become so comfortable scolding yourself now? Don't really lower your bottom line to this extent!"

"Then what can be done?"

Songzhi Zi spread his hands and said, "Everyone thinks so, what can I say in defense? And I've never cared. The more people think so, the less restrained I am in doing things. Isn't that a good thing? The lower the bottom line, the higher the intensity. Little sister, you still have a lot to learn."

The three members of the Arts Club fell eerily silent for a moment. It was clear that Tamaki Shintaro's explanation was not convincing at all, let alone Tsukinoki Kotobuki, and certainly not Komari Chika.

Seeing that Tamaki Shintaro didn't continue to defend himself, Matsueda Azusa felt a little bored, so he continued, "Admit it, it's not that you didn't expect something like this to happen, you just don't care whether it happens or not."

"For you, it's best if Komari-san isn't bullied by the Great Demon King Matsueda. Even if she is, so what? It has nothing to do with you anyway. Besides, she's just an ordinary club member—you said that yourself—it's not worth your time to worry about whether she will be bullied or what to do if she is bullied."

Xiaoju Zhihua looked as if her whole body was about to break apart, as if some emotion in her heart had been shattered by Cuncun.

Tamaki Shintaro couldn't bear the gazes of those present, and subconsciously turned his head away and retorted: "No, that's not the case!"

"What's that like?"

Matsueda Azusa showed no mercy: "Then why didn't you let Tsuki no Ki come to me? For such an important matter as the disbanding of the club, even if the president didn't come, it would be more formal for the vice president to come forward, right? Besides, no matter what, Tsuki no Ki's ability to bear it is much stronger than Komari-san, isn't it? Even if you yourself don't want to come forward, from the perspective of common sense and logic, the more suitable candidate should not be Komari-san. Then let me ask you, Tamaki-senpai, why didn't you choose to let Tsuki no Ki come forward?"

Shintaro Tamaki stammered and was speechless.

"hiss……"

Miura Yumiko poked Matsueda Azusa and asked in a puzzled voice, "Why do I feel like what you said is a little off? It seems like you're trying to bring the president and the vice president together... Stop going off topic."

Living in Bengbu, Miura Yumiko is still very mindful of the purpose of the Improper Relationship Supervision Department.

Songzhi Zi was in a good mood, so he patiently lowered his voice and answered, "How do you know they're not together yet? But it doesn't matter if they're not together yet. There's a saying that goes, if you want to get something, you must first give it. Don't worry."

At this moment, no one expected that the first person to speak up to refute Shintaro Tamaki was Chika Komari.

Although she was trembling with fear and looked extremely sad, she still tried hard to speak: "The Minister... he is usually very good to me and helps me a lot... I have social anxiety and can't communicate with others. It was the Minister who gave me a place to stay. He is a good person..."

Tamaki Shintaro immediately looked at Komari Chika with a look of great gratitude. But Tsukinoki Koto beside him had a strange look on his face.

Unexpectedly, Matsueda Azusa didn't refute him. Instead, he nodded and said gently, "You're right. I don't mean to deny it. No matter what he really thinks, it's ultimately actions that matter. For you, Komari-san, the benefits that Tamaki-senpai has brought you are indeed greater than the harm. From the perspective of his actual actions, he is indeed a good person to you."

"Eh?"

Xiaoju Zhihua looked at Songzhi Azusa blankly.

She thought that after she spoke up for Shintaro Tamaki, she would be severely attacked by Azusa Matsueda, but unexpectedly, he didn't.

Not only was she surprised, but even Miura Yumiko was shocked: "Ah? How could you, Matsueda, say such a thing? You are not Matsueda Azusa, who are you?!"

Shintaro Tamaki was also at a loss and looked puzzled. The atmosphere had already become so tense, so why did Matsueda Azusa suddenly stop and take a step back?

"What are you talking about? I have always been a kind and gentle student."

Matsueda Azusa shamelessly boasted, then explained, "Besides, I never said from the beginning that we were here to judge the president of the literature club as a villain like me, right? There's no need for that."

He had always understood this principle: there were no inherently evil people in the world, cut and dried like a mold. Normally, everyone was a good person—or at least, everyone was an ordinary person—but when a crisis or a special moment came, they would suddenly turn into a villain, becoming completely different from their usual self, no longer caring about what others thought or experienced.

But we cannot directly judge whether a person is good or evil based on these few unexpected incidents. In this respect, most people in the world are the same.

"Then...then why...?"

Shintaro Tamaki was completely confused by Matsueda Azusa. If he didn't have this purpose, then why did he attack him so fiercely before?

Matsueda Azusa looked at Tamaki Shintaro's bewildered expression and couldn't help but laugh. "It seems you still don't understand. Whether you're a good person or not is irrelevant. Do you know why people say 'judging by deeds, not by heart'? Because your subjective thoughts mean nothing to others, so as long as your objective actions help others, then in their eyes, you're a good person."

"But this is a simple question of identity – for the general public who have nothing to do with you, they may judge you by your actions rather than your heart. However, there are always people who pay attention not only to your actions but also to your thoughts. For example – someone who wants to be with you, or someone you want to be with."

"?!"

Shintaro Tamaki's eyes widened.

Matsueda Azusa didn't give him a chance to speak and directly said to Komari Chika, "Komari-san, if you just regard Tamaki-senpai as a kind-hearted senior, then there's no problem. But if you have feelings for him, then I suggest you think carefully about these doubtful points."

"What do you think of the relationship between Tamaki-senpai and Tsukinoki-senpai? What is the likelihood that they are a couple? Do you think Tamaki-senpai likes Tsukinoki-senpai? Does he show these tendencies in his usual club activities?"

"Excuse me, why do you think Tamaki-senpai only recruited two members? And why did he completely ignore it when Onui Kazuhiko was actually a ghost member who didn't show up at all, and didn't even know he had joined the literature club? At the same time, why did he treat you so differently? He cared about you so much? Why do you think you are so special to Tamaki-senpai compared to Onui? Is it because of this that you feel that you might have a chance?"

"So, what do you think of a male club president who, with only two female members actually in attendance, has a close and emotional relationship with one of them, yet also shows extreme care and attention to the other, even to the point of causing her to have thoughts she shouldn't have had? What do you think motivated him to do something like this?"

Then, Matsueda Azusa looked at Tsukinoki Koto again: "These questions apply to Tsukinoki-senpai as well. You might as well think about what Tamaki-senpai is thinking when he does this? If he has feelings for you, why doesn't he draw a clear line and distance himself from other girls?"

Matsueda Azusa shrugged. "To outsiders like us, everyone can say that what Tamaki-senpai did was 'perfectly normal,' 'human nature,' and 'unquestionable.' That's natural. But for the two students who are very likely to like Tamaki-senpai, this behavior can't be fooled by the saying 'judging by actions, not by heart.'"

51. Don’t worry about whether it’s rotten or not, just tell me whether it’s true or not.

Tamaki Shintaro's pupils trembled, and he didn't bother to refute Matsueda Azusa. He hurriedly explained to Tsukinoki Koto, "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense! I absolutely don't have such thoughts! I really only helped Komari-san because I wanted to help the members as a president! You have to believe me!"

Regardless of how Tsukinoki Koto performed, Komari Chika's eyes were indeed dead.

I used to call her Zhihua when I was happy, but now I call her Xiaoju!

No matter what kind of mentality Tamaki Shintaro had in treating her in that way, it no longer mattered. Because his choice had already proved with his unhesitating reaction that there was no chance of winning over Xiaoju Zhihua's love.

Tsuki no Kikuto's face was icy, his eyes flickering with an uncertain glint. He asked, "Then why don't you answer Matsueda-san's question? Why didn't you care about Wen Shui-san, who also joined our Arts Club? Why didn't you help him as gently as you did to Komari-san? You didn't even care that he didn't join the Arts Club? Instead, you treated Komari-san with this kindness that was beyond normal? Explain it to me."

Songzhi Zi covered her mouth and chuckled.

happy.

But then again, even though Tsukinoki Koto was now righteously condemning Tamaki Shintaro, she was ultimately the same person. This club not only had a president, but also a vice-president. As the vice-president, she herself showed no concern or concern for Onmizu Kazuhiko's absence from club activities...

To be honest, if she were to speak from the perspective of vice president, she would not be qualified to condemn Shintaro Tamaki.
