"Is that even a question?"

"really?"

"Without a doubt, the most suitable match for Hachiman Hikigaya is Crusch/Anatasia!"

The moment the voices rang out, the two hadn't even realized their answers were completely opposite, and they wanted to shake hands in celebration.

The moment the voice reached their ears, both Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya froze, maintaining their forced, insincere smiles, and pulled their outstretched hands back. The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

In the third second, Shirogane Miyuki tried to salvage the situation: "What do you mean, Shinomiya? I must have misheard you. It's okay, we still have one more chance. So, do you want to change it?"

Kaguya Shinomiya said, enunciating each word clearly: "This is what I wanted to say, President. Did you remember the name wrong? Think carefully, which one is it?"

They confronted each other head-on, refusing to give an inch.

Not only did it fail to ease the tension, but after realizing the other party's stubbornness, Shirogane Miyuki directly tore off his mask of pretense and bluntly advised, "It seems you might need to go back and rewatch Crusch's performance in the first isekai episode, Shinomiya."

Everything can be compromised, but this is the one thing I cannot!

Kaguya Shinomiya slammed her hand on the table, emphasizing the key point with a sharp, deliberate delivery:

"President, shouldn't you think about the attributes of Hachiman Hikigaya and Anastasia? A handsome genius high school student and a beautiful rich girl... Heh, do you think these two attributes are mismatched?"

Shirogane Miyuki crossed his arms, striking a powerful pose, and decisively rejected the idea: "They could be a good match, but these two are unnecessary."

"Curly's integrity, Curly's feelings for Hachiman, and then consider Hachiman's opinion of Curly among all the candidates—Shinomiya. If you can't even understand this, then I think there's no need for us to discuss this further."

"Oh, you mean, she hit the direct shot twice but was rejected both times, and then turned around and watched Hachiman and Anastasia hug and kiss?"

Kaguya Shinomiya's sarcastic mockery made Miyuki Shirogane pause. He tried his best to refute it, but unfortunately, Crusch's performance back then was really nothing to brag about. He thought for a long time before he could barely find one.

"She...she was with Hachiman in the timeline where the entire world was wiped out!"

"Oh my, you must be happy to be used as a meal replacement, right?"

The two got more and more carried away with their conversation. It would have been better if they hadn't talked about it, but once they started, they discovered that they weren't even supporting the same person. Both of them were seething with anger and wanted to crush the other.

If Miyuki Shirogane supported someone else, Kaguya Shinomiya wouldn't be so sarcastic. But Crusch is Anastasia's complete opposite, and naturally, she, Kaguya Shinomiya, is also Kaguya's opposite!

That kind of unyielding integrity is indeed dazzling, but what does it have to do with Kaguya Shinomiya? She is not an upright person.

Those who support Crusch, even her dearest president, must be eliminated!

Miyuki Shirogane was also desperate. At first, he supported Emilia and Rem the most, but his sister kept talking about how great Crusch was, and he was tired of hearing it.

After listening to this for a while, Shirogane Miyuki gradually got used to it and thought, "Hmm, it seems that Crusch is actually quite good."

He was gradually assimilated by his sister, to the point that he joined a party with no future.

Miyuki Shirogane is completely frantic right now. If he still supported Emilia or Rem, he definitely wouldn't have let Kaguya Shinomiya run rampant like this.

"Please, please, hurry up and take down Hachiman Hikigaya! Do something useful, Miss Crusch!!"

572. Factional Strife and the Fierce Student Council

Although we are at a disadvantage, if we give up, then everything will be over!

Fueled by the burning passion that "even if we lose, we'll fight to the very end," Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya engaged in a fierce debate.

The former uses "Curly's upright character is most compatible with Hachiman Hikigaya" as its basis, defends against "Hachiman Hikigaya admires Crusch the most among all the girls", and uses the fantasy that "Curly will definitely become the final winner" as its offensive horn.

Resist resolutely and remain defiant to the end.

Even so, Miyuki Shirogane continued to suffer setbacks, his cold sweat pouring down his back. This was because no matter what he said, Kaguya Shinomiya could easily counter it with just one sentence: "Hachiman and Anna have done it." This would break down his defenses.

This is no longer a simple disagreement; this is war! A war to the death!

Factional strife is truly terrifying, horrifying indeed... As Yu Ishigami was remarking this, he suddenly felt his sleeve being tugged.

It was Shirogane Miyuki, his eyes bloodshot, as if he had lost everything, even his underwear, and was so desperate that he no longer cared about their brotherhood and had come to drag Ishigami Yu down with him.

Anyone but Anastasia! We must take Anastasia down!

Even though a lot of time has passed, Miyuki Shirogane still remembers it clearly: it was Anastasia's sudden appearance that shattered his faith.

Therefore, for his future marriage to Kaguya Shinomiya, Anastasia must die!

"Speak! Ishigami, who do you support? Crusch or Anastasia? It must be Crusch, right? It's Crusch, isn't it? Tell me, tell me!"

"Oh dear, President, why don't you just stop struggling like this? Wouldn't it be better to just honestly accept the fact that Hachiman is 100% going to marry Anastasia? —I'm sure you think so too, Ishigami-kun~"

With the same attributes, a genius high school student from an ordinary family and a beautiful young businesswoman, if that couple gets together, wouldn't that set a precedent and encourage her and the student council president to get married sooner?

Therefore, for the sake of her future where Kaguya Shinomiya and the president share a bed, Anastasia must win!

Exuding a strong murderous aura, both Shirogane Miyuki and Shinomiya Kaguya glared at the innocent Ishigami Yu.

In any other situation, Ishigami Yu would have definitely succumbed to their tyranny, but not in this one. As an otaku who loves anime and manga, he actually has his own principles!

"No need to say more, President, Shinomiya-senpai, you're both wrong! The one who's the best match for Hachiman-senpai, and the most likely candidate, is clearly Emilia-senpai!!"

For the first time in history, he rebelled against the Demon King as a hero, for one simple reason.

Silver hair, half-elf, an encounter in another world, a sudden appearance, gentle and kind—Emilia is practically a destined heroine. To any anime fan, Emilia is a living example of a character stepping out of the world of anime and manga into reality.

If that's the case, can someone who doesn't support Emilia still be considered a fan of anime?

"I'm betting my reputation as a shut-in that I'm going all in on Emilia-senpai!"

First came silence, then a shared sense of righteous indignation. Shirogane Miyuki and Shinomiya Kaguya gazed at their rebellious eldest son with a strange light in their eyes.

Just when Ishigami Yu thought my life was in danger, another voice suddenly broke in: "Huh? What nonsense are you talking about, Ishigami-kun? Of course, Priscilla-san is the most suitable~"

She is the true cancer of the earth, the fake love detective who never lets go of discussions about love, Fujiwara Chika.

She smiled, and when she mentioned Priscilla's name, the curve of her lips was so distinctive that it was clear at a glance that she was up to no good.

that's the truth.

Fujiwara Chika's thoughts were as simple as Ishigami Yu's; she just loved watching the drama unfold and thought that if Hikigaya Hachiman and Priscilla got together, there would definitely be a lot of fun to come.

Then she can read the newspaper every day and see the news reports about what Priscilla has done, which will be very interesting.

"No, no, if Ishigami's faction still has any redeeming qualities, then yours is completely heretical. We cannot work together if we are on different paths, Fujiwara. A pitifully thick barrier has already separated us."

Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya both shook their heads, then approached Miko Iino, who was crouching in the corner with her head in her hands, attempting to pull her to their side.

However, Iino Miko also has her own principles on this matter, and she is unwilling to compromise or change her views on this one issue.

"I'm willing to give up my position as a disciplinary committee member to pray that Hikigaya-senpai and Yukinoshita-senpai get married immediately, and that all those other troublesome mistresses, concubines, and other women stay away!"

Miko Iino spoke eloquently about her views.

She thought that Yukinoshita was an excellent person, like a night-blooming cereus blooming on the top of a snow-capped mountain, a flower on a high mountain. Even though she was bullied by jealousy and cold violence since childhood, she never bowed her head and walked the path she believed was right.

"Isn't that cool? Look, she's incredibly cool! I already decided that Yukinoshita-senpai is my idol. She won't compromise with evil, so Yukinoshita-senpai is truly the best!"

"If I don't marry Yukinoshita-senpai, then Hachiman-senpai must be blind, and he'll regret it!"

Miko Iino wanted to spread her religion, but as she spoke, the other four looked at each other and reached a consensus: "Heretical! A heretical religion even more heretical than Priscilla's!"

Yu Ishigami's expression was like a scream from a famous painting, as he kept shouting, "No way? No way? No way? So there really are people in this world who support Yukinoshita, and people who still think there's hope for her?"

"Huh? That's incredibly rude, Ishigami, you idiot! Apologize to Yukinoshita-senpai right now!"

The once unbreakable alliance and the united Shuchiin student council suddenly fell apart from this moment on.

Maintaining different political affiliations and viewpoints, the five people, scattered across the country, occupied a portion of the indoor space as their territory.

The other three were alright, and didn't get too worked up.

However, for the sake of their inner wishes and beliefs, both Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya hardened their hearts, put on serious, sour faces, and thought that unless the other party changed to support their own party, they would not forgive the other party.

Meanwhile, far away, in the Izumi family and the Classics Club, the Rem faction was basically unwavering, always making a profit.

Besides this kind of party strife, they also have a new kind of party strife, and it is a completely uncontroversial party, like the Rem faction.

That is the eternal Shirogane Miyuki x Tsubaki-san, the Tsubaki-san faction!

573. Shirogane Miyuki, you kissed the wrong person! (Part 1)

"She felt lost and disoriented, as if her consciousness had been caught in a huge whirlpool, constantly being washed by the rushing water, leaving her in a daze, unable to regain her senses, and drowning in resentment and bitterness."

"Until someone called her name."

"It is like a drowning person grasping at a straw, a ray of light shining down in the darkness, and a new beacon found by a lost ship."

"That was the last warmth she felt in her life. The man she had only met once caught her, his gentle yet strong arms supporting her. His caring, anxious, and heartfelt cries shattered the frozen lake."

"——"

"Fifty years passed in an instant. The disoriented Kikyo was forced to accept the memories brought by the more perfected soul. For a moment, she could not distinguish between reality and memory, and she almost fell while staggering."

"It was a familiar, warm and strong arm that caught her firmly in time, just like it did fifty years ago."

Kikyo couldn't describe what this feeling was like. She only knew that, just as her resentment towards Inuyasha was forever etched into her soul, the warmth that Miyuki Shirogane had given her back then would also remain forever in her heart.

"Witnessing all this is a lush plain planted with a large number of flowers and plants."

"Even as a teleporter, Kikyo didn't know where she was... At the time, she was only thinking about getting as far away from Inuyasha as possible, without setting a specific goal."

"Inuyasha didn't abandon you. He probably just thought Kagome was in danger, which is why he acted that way. Actually, there's still a chance for you two. You can sit down and talk again, Kikyo."

"Shirogane Miyuki had no idea where he was. He didn't care at all. As soon as he landed, he immediately spoke up, wanting to help his good brother Inuyasha."

"Kikyo, who has a good personality, didn't scold him or tell him to shut up, but Shirogane Miyuki gradually stopped this kind of talk therapy because he could tell that Kikyo was in a really bad mood and didn't want to hear the names Inuyasha and Kagome at all."

"In that case, he'd better stay with Kikyo for now, and then slowly try to persuade her when she's more receptive to reason."

"However, the very next second after Shirogane Miyuki shut his mouth, accompanied by the sound of the soil being stirred, the entire seemingly peaceful plain was suddenly turned upside down, with a large number of flowers and plants sprouting from the ground."

"Kikyo, who is well-informed, immediately realized that these flowers and plants were the 'spider web' spread out by a plant-type yokai rooted here, and now, she and Shirogane Miyuki were the prey who had stepped into the web."

"No wonder there weren't many animals to be seen on such a large plain."

"It is unknown how long it has grown, but it is a colossal creature that is tens of meters tall. This monster is shrieking as it tries to devour the priestess and sorcerer, who are of great nutritional value. It has already foreseen its glorious future as a great monster."

"call out!"

"The dazzling spiritual power made the ordinary arrow shine, piercing the monster's body in an instant. From this point, the cracked wound gradually spread outwards with a crackling sound."

"Before they even had a chance to say their last words, the monster, which was by no means weak, was defeated in a single exchange."

"If it were Kikyo normally, she could even completely decompose the demon's corpse until it no longer exists, but she just used up a lot of her spiritual power, and the Inuyasha incident has caused her mind to be disturbed, which has reduced the strength of her spiritual power."
