My procrastination has returned, and I finally uploaded it after a long, drawn-out process _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 332 Chocolate Battle

Walking towards the classroom with a nervous Hachiman, the two saw several girls discussing giving out chocolates.

"Valentine's Day is really full of all sorts of emotions," Hachiman remarked, looking at the girls and then at the boys discussing whether they would receive chocolates.

"Well, anyway, a chocolate from Chef Hachiman is already a lot for you, so don't worry about anything else." Arriving at the classroom door, Yukiteru patted Hachiman on the shoulder and went inside.

"Um... well, I feel a bit of a stomachache, can I take a day off?" Hachiman forced a smile, clutching his stomach as he noticed a dull ache there.

"Then you'll only have one option: to be forced by her to put the chocolate in your mouth."

After sitting down in his seat, Yukiteru smiled at Hachiman, who looked like he was in a real bind, and then noticed the lively scene of Hayato Hayama in the other corner of the classroom.

"Look, that guy over there has achieved good results, but he doesn't seem to be having an easy time."

Hachiman looked over and discovered it as well.

Hayato Hayama is very popular throughout the school, but he gets into trouble on holidays like Valentine's Day.

Not only did he receive a table full of chocolates, but he also had to face the envious and jealous looks from the boys, as well as the resentful gaze from Miura Yumiko, who had always liked him. It was simply the worst experience.

'But it's really something. After being so bluntly rejected by Yang Nai under those circumstances, she's still able to have a friendly conversation with me. Her "good-natured" personality is a bit too much, almost obsessive.'

He shook his head, and then he saw Hayato Hayama looking at him and Hikigaya with pleading eyes.

Yukiteru and Hikigaya exchanged a glance, then mouthed the words to Hayama together.

"Take care of yourself."

Noon, in the student council room.

Everyone is eating their lunchboxes together here. Although there is a student cafeteria at school, it is still better for them to bring their own lunchboxes because they are used to it.

After all, whether it's Yukiteru's, Hachiman's, or Yuihama's mother's bento boxes, they all taste better than the ones made by the school cafeteria chefs.

While eating, Yukino also talked about the things she needed to follow up on that day.

"It seems like Usami is going to deliver chocolates during club activities today, but she'll get shy if there are a lot of people."

"That's easy. We just need to get Claire and that club president out of the way. Find something to do and ask the art club's instructor for help. Eriri, I'll leave this to you." Yukiteru calmly offered his solution and looked at Eriri.

"Oh, that shouldn't be a problem. I'll go find Mr. Koyama later. Mr. Koyama is a very nice person and will definitely help." Eriri agreed without hesitation.

Yukino was satisfied with the arrangement and nodded, saying, "We've done all we can. Now it's up to Usami to do her best."

After finishing talking about Usami, Shiwa turned her attention back to Yukiteru, asking with a playful smile, "Hey, Yukiteru-kun, you seemed to have received several boxes of chocolates this morning, right?"

These words immediately drew the attention of Yukino and the others.

'Tsk tsk, this is not good.'

Shaking his head, Xuehui looked at Shiyu with a wry smile and asked, "How did you know? You went upstairs before me."

"Hmph, that's because you didn't notice that there are some of my classmates around. Those girls seem to have a grudge against me and are trying to use this childish method to make me argue with you, but it's completely useless." Shiyu slowly poked at her rice with her chopsticks, but her eyes were fixed on Xuehui. "So, what about the chocolate? Are you planning to enjoy it slowly by yourself, and then find those girls who might be junior schoolmates for some unspeakable developments?"

"Shiha, that's too much." Even Yukino couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to stop her.

"But this guy kept it a secret all this time! A married man accepting chocolates? That's not right!" Utaha wasn't going to listen to Yukino now, still glaring angrily at Yukiteru. "If you really want chocolate that much, I'll make you a chocolate feast later, Yukiteru-kun. I guarantee you'll remember it!"

Xuehui rolled her eyes after hearing this: "Stop pretending to be a yandere. So what if you don't allow me to eat the chocolates that other people give me? Look, I've already collected them and was planning to share them with everyone when we rest."

As she spoke, Xuehui took out the chocolates from the bag next to her and placed them on the table, then added, "Besides, they're all unsigned chocolates, what are you worrying about for nothing!"

"Hmph, it just won't work." After saying that, she pushed the chocolate towards herself, looking jealous.

"Okay, okay, I won't touch it. I'll just eat the chocolates you guys gave me."

On Valentine's Day, these girls were all exceptionally attentive, and Xuehui didn't say much, just went along with it.

Soon, it was time for afternoon club activities.

Usami stood at the door of the clubroom, holding a package of homemade chocolates, and took a deep breath.

"Calm down, calm down! The minister and Claire have both been asked by the teachers to leave, leaving only Uchimaki-kun inside. This is a golden opportunity! Usami Mizuki, you must stay calm, calm, and calm again! You can definitely deliver the chocolate successfully!"

Then, patting her cheeks, Usami opened the classroom door and went inside.

Meanwhile, in the student council room, everyone was sitting in front of a laptop, and the screen was displaying the Art Department's footage.

Filled with guilt and curiosity, Hikigaya watched as Usami walked towards Subaru Uchimaki, who was engrossed in drawing, and asked Yukiteru, "I say, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate? Randomly installing surveillance cameras is a crime."

"Well, as long as we don't get caught, it's fine, right?" Xuehui said nonchalantly. "After all, special cases require special treatment. Don't you want to know what happened on the spot? This is a one-time thing. I'll put the equipment away right away afterward."

Surprisingly, Yukino did not object this time. Instead, after thinking it over, she agreed to Yukiteru's actions.

I can't help it, I'm just so curious and nervous.

Chapter 333 The Predictable Path

In the art club room, Usami opened the door and went in. She saw Subaru Uchimaki sitting in his seat as always, drawing and revising on the drawing board in front of him.

"Student with involution."

Upon hearing Usami's voice, Subaru Uchimaki stopped writing, turned around, and said to Usami, "Ah, it's Usami-san. It's probably just the two of us now. The club president and Claire have been asked by Mr. Koyama to help out."

"Yes, I know, I saw it just now." Usami nodded, walked over to Uchimaki Subaru's side, and said, "Is Uchimaki-kun still drawing? Not the same one as before?"

Picking up his pencil, Subaru Uchimaki started sketching again, saying, "That one? I'll wait a bit. Look, it's over there. I drew this one because I heard the other girls talking about Valentine's Day in class today, and that's when I remembered it was Valentine's Day, so I thought I'd draw a special Valentine's Day edition."

Upon hearing this, Usami stared at the other person's drawing board carefully, but she couldn't figure out what the so-called Valentine's Day special edition was. She could only make out a simple human figure.

Subaru, while drawing, frowned and said, "Although it's supposed to be a Valentine's Day special, I still haven't decided what kind of outfit to wear. Hey, Usami-san, you should know a little about Valentine's Day, right? What kind of clothes do you think we should wear for Valentine's Day?"

"What clothes should I wear?" With her hands behind her back and holding a chocolate, Usami frowned and said, "I really don't know, because I'm still a student, and I don't have the opportunity to wear other clothes even if I want to. How about the uniform?"

“Uniforms…” Subaru Uchimaki frowned as he listened to the other person’s words, then nodded and said, “Okay, then uniforms it is. The scene of her wearing a school uniform on Valentine’s Day and shyly inviting me out! Come on, Usami-san, help me practice, I need to see how to draw the specific movements!”

"......well?!"

Meanwhile, in the student council room, everyone was stunned as they listened to Subaru Uchimaki's drawing.

Hachiman swallowed hard, exclaiming in shock, "Is this guy really just a shut-in obsessed with anime? I have a feeling he's playing dumb to fool us!"

"Same here, I feel the same way. I always feel that if Mizuki falls for this guy, she'll be completely manipulated by him." Yui Hama nodded in agreement, though she seemed to have even more in mind than Hachiman.

"He's so effortlessly charming, like he can flirt with girls effortlessly. Now I finally understand how Usami fell for him. All sorts of casual remarks and misunderstandings, plus he's not bad looking to begin with. Tsk tsk tsk, if this kid were to awaken his full potential, he'd definitely be another menace after me. Looks like I shouldn't do anything more. Let's just leave it at that."

Xuehui rested his chin on his hand, casually criticizing himself while also expressing his opinion on Uchimaki Subaru.

Yukino nodded in agreement: "I have a feeling that we shouldn't have accepted this request. If we fail, it'll be fine, but if we succeed and accidentally make Subaru develop a strong interest in real-life girls, wouldn't we become the culprits who nurtured a bulldozer?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I feel like you guys are exaggerating a bit too much. How can you make such a simple and crude conclusion?" Hachiman was speechless at these two. Their speaking styles and tones were becoming more and more similar.

"Stop talking, look! Usami's about to give out chocolates!"

In the scene, Usami immediately shook her head and refused when she heard Subaru Uchimaki's suggestion. She hadn't forgotten what she was supposed to do, so how could she end up helping him complete his painting?

"Um, Uchimaki-kun, let's put the drawing aside for a moment." Usami gestured for Uchimaki Subaru to hold off, then said to him, "Um, Uchimaki-kun, you know today is Valentine's Day, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Um, did you receive any chocolates today?"

Yes, there is.

"Ah, really? That's wonderful... Ah!!!!!!!!!!"

Usami's sudden shout made Subaru Uchimaki cover his ears, and even Yukiteru and the others watching the monitor couldn't help but take a step back.

This girl has a really loud voice...

Taking it all back in one go, Usami looked at Subaru Uchimaki, who was covering his ears, and said, "You received it? That's great. You must be very happy, Uchimaki-kun."

Subaru lowered his hand and said calmly, "Happy? It's alright. Those classmates said it was because I've helped them before, so they gave me a gift or something. They're all the kind of chocolates you buy from the supermarket and then repackaged themselves. Do you want to see them? I haven't finished eating them yet."

Seeing Subaru reach for his bag, Usami immediately shook her head and said, "No need, no need. Um, I also have a copy for you, Subaru."

As she spoke, she took out the chocolate she had been keeping behind her back, blushed, and handed it to the other person.

However, after several seconds, Usami realized that the other party did not respond at all, and her heart sank.

Does that mean he's willing to accept other people's chocolates but doesn't want to accept his own?

Feeling a sudden weakness in her hand, Usami was about to pull her hand back in disappointment when she heard the sound of a camera shutter.

Looking up in surprise, she saw Subaru Uchimaki holding his phone, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Great, great! I felt like the Valentine's Day painting was missing something, and now it's complete! Usami, your expressions and movements are just perfect! I feel like inspiration is flowing through my veins! Ah, as for the chocolate, I won't be polite. Thank you, Usami-san."

Under Usami's stunned reaction, Subaru Uchimaki took the beautifully packaged little bag and opened it as he left.

"Huh? It's different from everyone else's. Did you make it yourself, Usami? You really put your heart into it. Hmm~~~ It tastes great too. I didn't know you could even make chocolate. Looks like you'll be a good bride someday."

While eating chocolate, Subaru Uchimaki praised it with a smile.

New...bride?

She didn't hear anything else, but she heard the word "bride" very clearly. Completely ignoring Subaru's photo of her handing out chocolates, she blushed and said, "Hahaha~ You're not that good, I just learned it..."

In the student council room, watching this scene, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads. So it really turned out like this? This Subaru really is born with an innate ability to avoid certain things, yet he manages to inadvertently increase the girls' affection for him while avoiding all sorts of obstacles. It's unbelievable. Usami too, still the same old story at crucial moments.

Finally, Yukino said, "If Usami comes to me for help again in the future, I'll offer some advice, but I won't get involved in anything else. The student council's capabilities are limited..."

This commission has come to an end, which was not entirely unexpected.

After all, it's not that the student council isn't working hard, but rather that their goals and the people they entrust with these tasks are unreliable...
