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

The other two candidates appeared distracted and performed only moderately.

As the host announced the final vote count, Natsuki Amamiya emerged victorious.

Below the podium.

The applause sounded like thunder.

"Natsuki is actually very amazing."

In the corner, Kashiwagi clapped his hands and whispered something in Hayasaka's ear.

Hayasaka Ai crossed her arms and gazed at Amamiya Natsuki, who was giving her inaugural speech on stage. Her eyes sparkled slightly, and the corners of her lips curved into a slight smile.

"Okay."

The speech I'm about to give was mostly written by her own hand, and I feel a strange sense of joy that we won together in the end.

Oops!

Ai-chan's smile clearly shows she's smitten, right?

No, Chika-chan is already lost and can't be saved. We have to rescue Ai-chan!

"Um, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Natsuki seems to be getting prettier and prettier lately, and she's super popular with the girls."

Kashiwagi's eyes flickered, and he continued.

The implication is simple.

Boys who are popular should keep their distance, because they might be bullied by other girls if they're not careful.

Hayasaka Ai casually replied, "It's not an illusion."

"Eh?"

Because the title he received increases his charm attribute, not only that, he is now also a "wife killer". Girls with boyfriends or married women should definitely keep their distance from him!

Kashiwagi clenched his right fist, pressed it against his chest, and said with the courage of someone facing death:

"I saw a while ago that Natsuki and Chika seemed to be very close."

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

You don't need to tell me; you know better than anyone how close they are.

There was even a young lady who, a couple of nights ago, accidentally went to the wrong place while soaking in a mixed-gender hot spring and had even told me about it.

Because I already knew, I didn't feel deceived at all.

"Don't worry." Hayasaka Ai turned to look at her friend, a mischievous thought suddenly forming in her mind. "I know what to do."

"It's good that Ai-chan knows."

Kashiwagi breathed a sigh of relief and happily clenched her fist.

It worked!

Knowing that Natsuki-kun has ambiguous relationships with other girls, Ai-chan will definitely be angry and keep her distance, right?

In this way, you won't be deceived emotionally.

The spy maid continued, "But... I'm not bad either, am I?"

"Eh?"

Kashiwagi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Hayasaka Ai flashed a peace sign, a sweet smile on her face, tilted her head at a 30-degree angle, and deliberately closed one eye.

"If it's a competition, I won't lose to Chika-san."

"No, no!"

Kashiwagi panicked immediately.

Did my words have the opposite effect, instead igniting Ai-chan's fighting spirit?

If that were to happen, I would become a sinner for all time!

Hayasaka Ai continued, "Besides being cute, I have a ton of experience when it comes to winning over boys."

"impossible!"

Kashiwagi instinctively shook his head in rebuttal, "Ai-chan doesn't even have a boyfriend, how could she possibly have experience?"

Hayasaka Ai raised her chin: "Since you don't believe me, it seems I'll have to use Natsuki-san to prove myself."

"No, I believe you!"

"..."

The speech ended as he spoke.

Natsuki Amamiya turned and went backstage.

"Natsuki-kun, you're amazing!" Tsubaki Koyasu gave a thumbs up, her smile sweet and generous. "Starting today, you're the student council president!"

"I also want to thank Senior Yanzi," said Natsuki Amamiya.

This senior student, nicknamed "Swallow," is incredibly popular. Asking her to help with a speech was indeed very effective.

"stare--"

Fujiwara Chika clenched her fists and placed them in front of her chest, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked over.

"Natsuki, when are you going to the student council president's office?"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Class starts soon, I don't have time this morning, I'll go after school this afternoon... What do you want to do?"

Whenever that idiot makes that face, he's definitely up to no good.

"Hey~"

Fujiwara Chika stretched out a finger and poked Amamiya Natsuki's arm, laughing crisply: "As is customary, once you become the student council president, you have to invite the student council members yourself."

Kaguya Shinomiya's ears twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but look over.

With just one sentence, it was clear what Fujiwara Chika was up to; she clearly wanted to use connections.

Amamiya Natsuki squinted: "Just say what you have to say."

"I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore." Fujiwara Chika raised her right hand and declared firmly, "I want to be the vice president!"

"veto."

Kaguya Shinomiya finally couldn't hold back any longer and came over.

"Hey, why not?"

Fujiwara Chika turned her head to look.

“The vice president’s main responsibility is to help the president handle various daily affairs. In some ways, it’s even more demanding than the president’s.” Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms, her expression calm, as if she had no selfish motives at all. “A person whose head is only filled with eating, drinking and having fun cannot do the job of a vice president.”

"That's so...so outrageous!"

Fujiwara Chika pretended to rub her eyes, "I didn't just think about eating, drinking and having fun. Kaguya-chan is bullying me."

“That’s right, Kaguya is clearly prejudiced,” Natsuki Amamiya chimed in from the side. “Prejudice in people’s hearts is a mountain.”

The two girls looked over at the same time.

Amamiya Natsuki paused for two seconds, then continued:

"In Chika's head, besides eating, drinking and having fun, there is clearly also Pace."

"You're all ganging up on me!"

Fujiwara Chika's cheeks puffed out.

"Class is about to start, let's go back to the classroom first," said Natsuki Amamiya. "We'll talk after school this afternoon."

"..."

Lunch break time has arrived in the blink of an eye.

The bell rang, and Natsuki Amamiya turned to look out the window, letting out a sigh.

The rainy season is truly a time of continuous drizzle. It started raining again outside the window, and the bet to have lunch together on the rooftop was clearly impossible to keep.

Turning her gaze away, Amamiya Natsuki looked at Fujiwara Chika.

The Party Secretary, sitting in his seat, happened to look over. Their eyes met, and he raised his chin smugly and sent a message.

"Hmph, we can't go to the rooftop because of the weather, so the bet is over."

Amamiya Natsuki: "Shouldn't we have lunch on the rooftop tomorrow?"

Fujiwara Chika: "No way. We clearly said Monday that day, so it doesn't count now that it's over."

"Since you put it that way, let's go to the rooftop now."

"How will you get there on a rainy day?"

“I can use an umbrella.”

"No, even if I use an umbrella, there's nowhere to sit. I'm not talking to you anymore. I'll eat my bento with Kaguya-chan."

"..."

Chika is very popular in the classroom. Whenever she stays in the classroom during lunch break, girls will definitely ask her to eat lunch together. However, she often asks the silly young lady to eat with her.

Amamiya Natsuki put away her phone, glanced at Chika who had walked up to Kaguya, and got up to leave the classroom.

He doesn't have the habit of bringing his own lunch; he prefers to eat bread for lunch.

When we arrived at the bread cart, there were as many students buying bread as ever.

Outside the crowd, a short-haired girl who kept tiptoeing and trying to squeeze in caught Amamiya Natsuki's attention.

"Kashiwagi-kun?"

"Eh?"

Hearing the call, Kashiwagi turned around curiously. When he saw Amamiya Natsuki, his face showed obvious nervousness, and he quickly said, "Natsuki-kun, good afternoon."

No way?
