The goal of life is to break up all couples

However, looking at Ma Ti Tian Aixin who had already run away, Song Zhi Zi just made a "tsk" sound and did not chase after him to say anything. He just shook his head and continued walking towards his classroom.

After turning the corner where he had bumped into Tian Aixing, Matsueda Azusa saw Kawasaki Saki leaning against the window in the corridor, looking sleepy with a Pocky stick in her mouth.

Originally, Matsueda Azusa had no intention of greeting her, but Kawasaki Saki took the initiative to say to Matsueda Azusa: "Matsueda-san, what you just said... is it true?"

"what?"

Matsueda Azusa blinked in confusion.

It sounded like Saki Kawasaki had been eavesdropping nearby? Well, this was a public hallway, so it couldn't really be considered eavesdropping.

Kawasaki Saki blushed and turned away, looking a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, she explained, "It's just... I can go to that Servant Club and ask the top student in the grade to help me with tutoring. Is that really possible?"

"Well, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to hear it while I was taking a breath."

As she spoke, Kawasaki Saki quickly waved her hands and began to defend herself: "I just don't know if what you are talking about, Matsueda-san, is only open to people you know, or is it open to all students? If not, I wouldn't be so persistent..."

"what?"

Matsueda Azusa scratched his cheek and said, "Logically speaking, Yukinoshita shouldn't refuse. As long as a classmate goes there, she'll probably help if she can, as long as you can tolerate her attitude towards you."

"But, Kawasaki-san, I remember your grades were pretty good, right? You're among the top students in the class. If you work harder, you should have a chance of getting a scholarship. Do you also want Yukinoshita to help you with your studies? Are you not confident enough in your grades?"

When Saki Kawasaki heard Matsueda Azusa's question, she looked hesitant and embarrassed.

She hesitated for a moment, but since it was Matsueda Azusa who asked, she answered sincerely, "That's partly the reason. I've never dealt with anything related to scholarships before, so I'm a little nervous and not very confident in myself."

"Also, there is another very important point..."

Kawasaki Saki smiled helplessly and sighed, "Thinking this way might seem a bit selfish, like taking advantage of others, but... if I can receive tutoring from the top student in the grade, maybe I can save money on tutoring. Then, whether I can reduce my part-time job and have more time to rest or study, or I can give the money I save to my younger siblings... it would all be a good thing for me."

"Oh, yes, so that's how it is...it does make sense."

Songzhi Zi touched his chin, thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense.

After all, it is well known that Yukinoshita Yukino not only received more advanced educational resources than the cram schools that ordinary people sign up for, but also her own information organization and learning abilities as a top student are also top-notch. Although her teaching ability may not be that good, if you can borrow her notes, you will benefit a lot.

"It would be great if Yukinoshita-san is willing. But..."

Kawasaki Saki lowered her head slightly, her tone somewhat unwilling and helpless: "Even if Yukinoshita-san is willing to accept my request, I always feel like it's like receiving something for nothing. I clearly didn't give anything in return, but I received her help for no reason..."

Hmm, that's a weird kind of self-esteem. But those who are willing to face this and examine their own actions are already much better than most people.

Moreover, Matsueda Azusa feels that being willing to speak out about one's troubles and face one's own weaknesses instead of hiding them and holding on to distorted dignity like a hedgehog is something that is worthy of praise.

"Then you can make a deal with her."

Matsueda Azusa smiled and raised a finger, suggesting, "From what I understand, Yukinoshita is currently struggling with a commission. She wants to help a classmate learn how to make friends, but right now, she's the only one who can serve as the experimental subject. If you're willing to help her in exchange for joining the commission yourself and letting her tutor you, wouldn't that make both of you even?"

Chapter 135: There is a lion in Hikigaya's eyes.

The bell rang and it was time for class.

Following the sound of footsteps approaching from afar, the person coming was Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Huh? This class doesn't seem to be Chinese?

Shizuka Hiratsuka threw the documents she was holding onto the podium, resting her hands on it. "Sobu High School's anniversary celebration is coming up soon. Everyone's familiar with this, right? As usual, this class will decide on the work assignments for the celebration."

As she spoke, she glanced at the students in the classroom and waved her hand. "Just like last year, the class monitor and... uh, Ye Shan-san, please come up and host the meeting. I don't think I need to introduce you any further, do I?"

Matsueda Azusa suddenly realized it was the school anniversary. However, at this time last year, he was still in Sobu High School's rock club, so he participated in the performances there and didn't know much about the class.

Generally speaking, these kinds of school anniversary activities are pretty standard. After all, Matsueda Azusa didn't see anyone among these students who could come up with some fantastic ideas.

Following Hiratsuka Shizuka's order, Hayato Hayama and an ordinary-looking, rather shy boy - the class monitor - walked onto the stage together.

To be honest, Matsueda Azusa didn't have much impression of the class monitor. It might be because his presence was not strong, or maybe it was because Hayama Hayato's presence was too strong.

If Hayato Hayama himself hadn't been reluctant to be class monitor, with his connections, it would have been easy for him to take the position. But now, facts have proven that even if he wasn't class monitor, he would basically have to take on some of the related responsibilities. After all, the class monitor's influence in this class is far less than Hayato Hayama's.

It can only be said that it is a superfluous act.

Hikigaya Hachiman was yawning in the back seat of Matsueda Azusa's car, lying on the table like a dried salted fish.

He didn't care about the so-called school anniversary plan at all. If he wasn't afraid of being taught a lesson by Azusa Matsueda and Shizuka Hiratsuka if he sneaked away, he would have pretended to be sick and ran to the infirmary to get help.

Hikigaya Hachiman secretly complained in his heart. No matter what happened, it couldn't change the fact that he just had to stand there as usual, a small transparent pendant. He existed purely for the sake of existence.

Once everyone entered the preparation phase, the best use he could make was to imitate the strange totem pole and stand still.

No matter what task he is assigned to, it will not change his situation: when he has nothing to do, he will casually walk behind someone, observe the work at hand, and then make an "oh~" sound with understanding, or take the initiative and wait for the other party to ask "Can you help me?" at any time, but if the other party does not ask, he can continue to hang around.

Huh? Thinking about it, it's actually quite fulfilling. It feels like I'm busy all the time, but don't ask what I'm busy with.

Looking at Hikigaya Hachiman who was inexplicably depressed and then cheerful all of a sudden, Matsueda Azusa saw through what this guy was thinking at a glance.

Perhaps he felt he was so insignificant in this event that it didn't matter what position he was assigned. He might even be cheerfully justifying himself, saying, "He's doing this for the sake of his classmates, wanting them to have a good time. If he tactlessly showed up, it would only make everyone wary. If he were given a low-impact, unimportant job where his presence wouldn't make a difference, then everyone could enjoy the event without worries."

Eh? With that said, Matsueda Azusa had another good idea.

Haha, Hikigaya, since you're the Vice Minister of our Supervisory Department, you should at least do something practical, right? You can't just sit around and slack off like this!

Okay, it's decided! Let Hikigaya suffer, and I, Matsueda Azusa, will bear the blame!

At this time, the class was having a heated discussion about who should be elected as the executive committee member - well, it was more of an excuse than a discussion.

After all, no one wanted to take the initiative to take responsibility for something so troublesome. In the past, this position was probably decided by drawing lots, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would probably be decided by drawing lots again at the end of this discussion.

Despite this, the democratic process of class discussion is essential. Otherwise, even if someone draws a lottery, they might cheat. This process wears down everyone's patience and good temper. If someone tries to cheat, they'll be met with unanimous condemnation. No one wants to risk being chosen, nor does anyone want to waste time on meaningless arguments.

Matsueda Azusa's eyes met Hiratsuka Shizuka's, who was already becoming a little impatient.

It's common sense that when Pokémon trainers make eye contact, they start a duel, right?

Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes lit up instantly, and she seemed to have made up her mind. She subconsciously pointed at Matsueda Azusa, as if she wanted to say something. How could Matsueda Azusa not understand what she was thinking?

But Matsueda Azusa was faster than her. Before Hiratsuka Shizuka could speak, he immediately made a gesture of "Tai-kun, please come this way" and pointed his finger at Hikigaya Hachiman with dignity.

I'm sorry, Hikigaya, I'd rather die than let my friend die. You, Hikigaya, are the one that everyone wants!

Shizuka Hiratsuka instantly understood what Matsueda Azusa meant, and then she thought, oh, it seems that Hikigaya Hachiman would be a more suitable choice!

If Matsueda Azusa, a troublemaker, were to be made an executive committee member, she might be left with a mess to clean up. Furthermore, Matsueda Azusa doesn't need to develop skills like overall leadership and interpersonal skills, but if Hikigaya Hachiman were to be her replacement, it would be quite interesting.

After all, although this kid is very awkward and may say that it is too troublesome and he doesn't want to do it, if he really encounters any difficulties that need to be solved, he will still take the initiative to provide help. It can also allow him to make more friends with students from other classes and broaden his social circle.

Yes, Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded to Azusa Matsueda with satisfaction.

Hikigaya Hachiman jumped up from his desk like a frightened bird and looked around suspiciously.

Huh? What's going on? Why did he inexplicably sense one—no, two—malevolent gazes lingering on him for a long time? He had this ominous feeling...

Are you looking at me, Minister?

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Matsueda Azusa without hesitation.

As expected, just as Hikigaya Hachiman expected, Matsueda Azusa was looking at him with a strange look that contained an inexplicable smile.

Hikigaya Hachiman felt his hair stand on end. Although he didn't know what Matsueda Azusa was planning, he still didn't hesitate to pray to Matsueda Azusa in a low voice, trying to awaken the few bits of humanity deep in Matsueda Azusa's heart: "Minister! I am Hikigaya, your most capable deputy minister!"

Matsueda Azusa smiled without saying anything, and slashed Hikigaya's head with a knife. Hikigaya Hachiman obediently fell on the table, sticking out his tongue and pretending to be dead: "Rua!"

But unfortunately, Hikigaya turned to the wrong person. In this matter, Azusa Matsueda was at best a traitor who sold out his friends for personal gain, and the real mastermind behind this was Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Azusa Matsueda is inhumane, while Shizuka Hiratsuka is not only inhumane, but also powerful.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Let's do this."

Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand and said loudly, "Since the position of executive committee member can't be decided, let me nominate a name. Hikigaya Hachiman, you take this position. Who is in favor and who is against it?"

"Wha, what?!"

Hikigaya Hachiman, who was still lying on the table pretending to be dead and acting cute in order to protect himself, was shocked when he heard this. He suddenly jumped up from the table and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka in disbelief.

The classroom was silent for a moment, then everyone roared in agreement. Anything that didn't affect them was a good thing, and any poisonous dish that didn't harm their interests was a good poisonous dish!

Hikigaya Hachiman glanced at Matsueda Azusa, who was trying to hold back her laughter, and then glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka. He instantly understood what was going on - it must have been Hiratsuka Shizuka who first thought of letting Matsueda Azusa take over, but Matsueda Azusa passed the blame on to him!

Damn it! Minister, what are you doing, Minister!

Damn it! Hikigaya Hachiman secretly gnashed his teeth. If he had more power, he could push the work onto someone else! The power harassment that pressed down layer by layer was the perfect portrayal of Japan's vertical society!

"I object!"

Hikigaya Hachiman raised the banner of rebellion against Neon's chronic illness. His eyes no longer radiated the gleam of dead fish eyes, but instead seemed to contain a lion!

"invalid objection."

However, as a great emperor, Hiratsuka Shizuka suppressed the world, and with a wave of his hand, he made clouds and rain. He suppressed Hikigaya Hachiman with one hand, forcing him to throw away his armor and surrender obediently.

Chapter 136 Miura Yumiko wants to eat melon.

"Okay, then the male executive committee members have been decided... Next up is the female executive committee members..."

The squad leader, who was unable to control the situation, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Shizuka Hiratsuka make the decision, and immediately started the next agenda.

But it is obvious that this matter is probably not easier than the previous topic - for boys, Shizuka Hiratsuka can force Hikigaya Hachiman to be the one, but for girls, it will probably lead to endless wrangling again.

"Well... then I have a suggestion!"

Hikigaya Hachiman weakly raised his hand: "As the female executive committee member, I recommend Totsuka Ayaka-san!"

Damn it! Since this damn task was forced upon him, he should have been made to work with the sweet and soft Totsuka-san! That would have soothed his inner pain!

It was all because of being with Matsueda Azusa for so long that even Hikigaya Hachiman's mind had become dark and sinister. It was all because of the saying, "A red flower grows redder when it's near a red flower, and a black flower grows blacker when it's near a black flower."

Totsuka Ayaka blushed when she heard that. "Huh? Huh! What are you talking about, Hikigaya-san? I'm a boy now!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka punched Hikigaya Hachiman on the head: "Don't make trouble!"

Damn, did I get away with it but still failed?

Hikigaya shed tears of blood.

"Ah, um...I'd like to ask a question."

At this moment, Kawasaki Saki raised her hand and asked, "If I participate in this kind of event and serve as an executive committee member... will it be beneficial for selecting scholarships or other awards?"

It seems that if Shizuka Hiratsuka said there was a chance, she would probably volunteer without hesitation. Saki Kawasaki also worked incredibly hard today.

Unfortunately, Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her head and thought about it, then shook her head helplessly: "If I'm just serving as an executive committee member for the school anniversary...it doesn't seem to have any relevant benefits."

Saki Kawasaki sighed regretfully and said nothing more.

After Saki Kawasaki asked, no one took the initiative to speak, and then the cycle began of you speaking, I speaking, and then silence.

Whenever a conversation broke out in a corner of the classroom, the monitor would ask them, "How are things?" and the group would shut up. This had happened countless times since the beginning.

It's obvious that without the powerful to identify the most powerful, democracy for all would become an endless cycle of buck-passing and wrangling. After all, no one wants to shoulder the burden of responsibility while others reap the benefits for nothing.

But shirking responsibility is fine; it's human nature, after all. It's just that some people clearly act like they don't want to bother, yet their actions subtly hint at their eagerness to participate. They discuss things loudly, but then fall silent when asked, only to start talking loudly again moments later, as if they're deliberately attracting attention, waiting for someone to kneel and invite them.

I'm talking about the small group of girls at the back of the corridor. Their leader seems to be Sagami Minami, right? The four-member group, led by Sagami, set up shop some distance away from Miura Yumiko's group. The Miura group occupied the rearmost window seats, while the Sagami group faced each other from the back, along the corridor.

I guess they're waiting for Hayato Hayama to invite them. After all, if it's delayed until the end, that's probably the outcome.

At this moment, Matsueda Azusa felt the cell phone vibrate in his pocket.

I took it out and glanced at it, and found that it was a message from Yumiko Miura.

Yumiko Miura: I have a feeling that if I become an executive committee member this time, there might be some scandals.

[Matsueda Azusa:? Uh, then you go and be one?]

[Yumiko Miura: I do have this idea, but aren't you going?]

Matsueda: Why don't you listen to what you're saying? Hikigaya was already decided.

Miura Yumiko: You don't have to be an executive committee member to join in the fun. Why don't you just consider yourself accompanying us?

Matsueda Azusa: I have nothing to do, right? Besides, if the executive committee holds a discussion meeting, I'm not an executive committee member, so I'll definitely be blocked from the door.

[Miura Yumiko: Are you sure you don't want to go?]

[Matsueda Azusa: It’s packed.]

【Miura Yumiko: Then I will tell the truth.】

[Matsueda Azusa:? 】
