Kaguya-sama: Love Is War wants me to turn myself in.

“I see.” Amamiya Natsuki’s expression suddenly turned serious, and she took half a step forward, saying, “Then, Hayasaka-san, you have to take responsibility.”

"what?"

That was my first kiss.

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

fraud!

big liar!

Hayasaka Ai secretly clenched her fists, so angry she wanted to kick someone.

When we were in the Ghost Town, I saw you and Haimeng doing that kind of thing. You probably lost your first kiss a long time ago!

“I’m not kidding anymore.” Natsuki Amamiya suddenly said, “No matter what Hayasaka was like in the past, or whether she had dated anyone before, I fell in love with the Hayasaka I am now. If you deny the present you because of what happened in the past, you’re underestimating me.”

"..."

Upon hearing this, Hayasaka Ai's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she fell silent.

After a while.

The girl's deep voice rang out.

"Human beings cannot receive love without wearing a mask."

After a pause, Hayasaka Ai lowered her eyes and continued:

"The real me is the kind of person who wouldn't be loved by anyone."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly had a premonition that Hayasaka Ai's expression at this moment was not feigned, but a rare and genuine outpouring of emotion.

The real girl hidden beneath layers of identity doesn't seem happy; instead, she appears exhausted.

Natsuki Amamiya remained silent for a few seconds before saying:

"No one in the world can be liked by everyone. Even Fukuzawa Yukichi has people who see money as dirt."

"So why do you think that wearing a mask will make you unlovable?"

Amamiya Natsuki grasped Hayasaka's right hand, and the spy maid did not pull away, but simply looked up at him.

“If Hayasaka-san is wearing a mask right now, please don’t take it off,” Natsuki Amamiya said gently. “I like it very much.”

"W-What are you saying?" Hayasaka Ai's eyelashes trembled as she couldn't help but ask, "Was that just fake affection?"

"Fake liking is still liking."

"certainly not."

"..."

thump.

The sound of the drink rolling on the ground rang out.

Amamiya Natsuki and Hayasaka Ai both turned to look.

The corner of the stairwell.

A girl with short black hair stared at him, wide-eyed and dumbfounded.

"Kashiwagi-kun?"

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly. "You saw it, didn't you?"

"I do not have."

Kashiwagi quickly shook his head.

"Since you've seen it, then don't leave..."

"Tch." Hayasaka Ai instantly put on a mask, reached out and gently pushed Amamiya Natsuki's waist, pulling the lollipop out of her mouth. "Don't scare Kashiwagi, you can leave now."

"..."

After watching Amamiya Natsuki walk away, Kashiwagi Shin emerged from the corner and hesitantly whispered:

"Um... Ai-chan, what's your relationship with Natsuki-kun?"

"nothing."

Hayasaka Ai shook her head, showing no interest in fooling anyone for the time being.

"You say it's nothing? You two were just holding hands!"

Kashiwagi grew anxious, "Let me tell you, Natsuki-kun, he..."

"He what?"

Kashiwagi hesitated, then finally said:

"He who bullies girls all the time is no good!"

He's been caught hugging Kaguya in the classroom two or three times, holding hands with Chika while shopping at the supermarket outside of school, and now he's even holding Hayasaka's hand. Isn't he afraid that one day his secret will be exposed and he'll be beaten to death?

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

You don't need to tell me, I already knew he wasn't a good person.

Yesterday, he even asked me to help him woo other girls; he's lost all sense of decency.

"Don't worry, all I want to do right now is work and earn money," Hayasaka Ai said casually. "I definitely won't like him."

“But…” Kashiwagi pursed her pink lips and whispered a reminder, “But Ai-chan, your face is so red.”

"Ok?"

Hayasaka Ai was taken aback by what she heard. She raised her right hand and gently touched her cheek with her delicate, white fingertips. A burning sensation came from her fingertips.

strangeness.

Why do I blush?

After a while.

School auditorium.

"Natsuki-kun, you're here!" Tsubaki Koyasu greeted her, clenching her right fist. "I heard you're the first one to give a speech, good luck!"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "I'll leave the cheering speech to you, senior."

"Leave it to me." Zi'an Yan raised her pretty face, revealing a glimpse of her fair and slender neck, her smile bright and beautiful. "I've practiced several times already, I guarantee there won't be any problems."

Amamiya Natsuki was indeed not worried about her.

This senior student, nicknamed Swallow, is a typical social butterfly and has absolutely no social anxiety.

"Natsuki-kun, let's go over the speech again," Koyasu Yan said enthusiastically.

"Ah."

"..."

Students gradually entered the auditorium, and it quietly filled up before they knew it.

As the time for the speech approached, someone quickly reminded Natsuki Amamiya to go up and give her speech.

Natsuki Amamiya stood behind the curtain, stepped onto the stairs, and suddenly remembered that there was another prop that seemed to come in handy.

The bow item I got from trading in the hospital instance can increase the persuasiveness of speeches and explanations when worn. It's the same item that a certain elementary school student uses. I rarely use it and it's been gathering dust. Now it's finally coming in handy.

Since I'm participating in the election, my goal is naturally to strive for victory.

As for the issue of cheating... can the items you obtained through hard work be considered cheating?

Of course not.

In a certain country's general election, if the voting machine automatically locks onto one person, that would be considered shameless cheating.

After putting on her bow tie, Natsuki Amamiya walked onto the stage, looked at all the students in the auditorium, and began her speech.

It's impossible for a person to win all the votes, just as it's impossible to be liked by everyone.

So-called vote-getting is nothing more than identifying a target group, just like Trump and Mohammad from India, trying to win the support of a certain group. The method is simple: find the core interests of a certain group and make promises that interest them.

As for whether the promise can ultimately be fulfilled...

Do not be silly.

As a seasoned politician, it's perfectly normal to not be able to keep your word.

Of course, Natsuki Amamiya is not yet a shameless politician, and if he wins the election, he will naturally not hesitate to make the promises he makes.

The same applies to support speeches.

By leveraging Senior Swallow's influence, they attracted people who were initially indifferent to Natsuki Amamiya to vote in her favor.

As for the work after becoming the student council president, it's actually not difficult.

The student union has been established for decades, and its daily work and activities have long been routine. There is no need for bold innovation or pioneering spirit. Most of the work is actually done step by step, following the traditions of the predecessors.

"……thank you all."

Amamiya Natsuki took a half step back and bowed slightly.

A thunderous applause erupted immediately.

Next up were the silly young lady and Qianhua and the others, who went on stage to give their speeches.

The silly young lady had enough presence, but unfortunately her cold personality left too deep an impression, making the auditorium much quieter.

Fujiwara Chika was very popular and had many friends. When she took the stage, she looked quite like a prime minister. Unfortunately, her unreliable image was deeply ingrained in people's minds.

In short, once the last candidate finished his speech, the final voting results quickly appeared on the big screen.

Chapter 355 I'm determined to be the vice president!

The two-week student council election has finally come to an end.

The image of the silly and eccentric young lady, Kaguya Hyouya, is deeply ingrained in people's minds, and many people worry that the students will become a form of oppressive rule.

Fujiwara Chika has always been unreliable.
