After dropping out of school, I chose to join a girls' band.

Momo noticed Yue's strange behavior and moved her face close to Yue's. At such a close distance, Yue could even feel Momo's breath on his face, bringing a slight warmth.

"A graduate of Shengxiang Class of '89?" Taozi read the message from Yue's phone, her eyes slightly puzzled as she asked, "Yue, did you believe what that giraffe said? But if you want to investigate this, why not just go to the school's archives?"

A blush immediately spread across Yue's cheeks, and her heart began to race. She turned her head slightly, placed her hand on Taozi's forehead, and gently pushed her away, saying shyly, "Don't get so close, it's a bit hot. Besides, can you just walk into a place like the archives?"

“That makes sense…” Peach scratched her head and said somewhat awkwardly, but then a new idea popped into her head, “If we get along well with the senior students in the student council, maybe we can go to the archives to take a look.”

Although Momoko's words made sense, she still politely declined Momoko's suggestion, saying, "It seems a bit troublesome... and I've never been interested in things like the student council..."

After Yue finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Momoko Kurosawa, who had made the suggestion. Her eyes held a hint of pleading and expectation, as if she were asking Momoko to help her solve this problem.

Seeing the pleading look in Yue's eyes, Momoko, though she really wanted to agree, thought that if she wanted to get along well with the student council, she might end up joining the student council.

Of course, Taozi didn't have any prejudice against the student council. It's just that one of her classmates in junior high school worked in the student council, although Taozi and the classmate weren't particularly familiar with each other.

But the other person sat in the back seat of Momoko, and almost every day she could hear the other person and their friends complaining about how much work there was in the student council. As a result, Momoko felt that the student council was a terrible place throughout her middle school years, and she still felt that way now that she was in Seisho.

So, Momoko turned her gaze to Yurisaki Aoi, who was watching the drama unfold. Her eyes held a hint of eagerness and expectation, hoping that Aoi could help her share the burden.

Aoi's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes. She pointed lightly at herself, her gaze shifting back and forth between Yue and Momo. Her voice carried a trace of hesitation and uncertainty, as if she couldn't believe she had been chosen.

"Are you serious?" Aoi asked again, her voice tinged with unease and curiosity. Her gaze lingered on Tsuki and Momoko's faces for a moment, trying to find the answer in their expressions.

Peach immediately stepped forward and hugged Aoi, saying, "Oh dear, you can't say that. We've never been involved in the student council before, or more accurately, we've never held any position. But Aoi, you're different. I remember when you introduced yourself at the beginning of the semester, you mentioned that you were a class monitor in junior high. You must be more skilled at this kind of thing than us."

A question mark popped up above Aoi's head, "How do you think that just because someone was a class monitor, they must know something about student council affairs?"

Momoko looked a little dejected when she heard Yuri Saki's words. "It seems like Aoi isn't doing too well either. How about we ask Yukimi Sakura for help? Knowing her personality, she definitely won't refuse if someone asks her for a favor."

Yue ruthlessly chopped a knife at Taozi's head. "Don't use other people's personalities to take advantage of them. This is a normal campus youth story, not some urban supernatural battle."

Peach glanced at the school building she had just come from, tilted her head and looked at Yue with a puzzled expression, "Are you sure we're not going to be a superpowered combat story?"

Following Taozi's gaze, Yue looked towards the underground theater. Thinking of the giraffe she had just seen, she fell into a rare silence, pondering their roles in the story.

"Could it be that we're actually a superpower academy?"

Yuri Saki, who clearly had no exposure to anime culture, heard their conversation and kept asking herself, "What are you talking about?"

Yue shook her head, clearly not intending to drag the innocent Yuri Saki Aoi into the world of anime. "It's nothing, it's just that a certain group has matched the code."

Yuri Aoi clearly accepted Yue's suggestion and didn't press the matter further. "I didn't say I wasn't going, did I?"

"what?"

Group chat 侕〥?long lin?g witch〃san 八琦亦3 "Huh?"

Tsuki and Momoko both turned their heads to look at Yurisaki Aoi at the same time.

Peach looked puzzled, "But... what did you mean by what you just said...?"

"Ah... I was just complaining about why you guys think that people who have been class monitors must want to be student council members. I didn't mean that I didn't want to, or that I had the idea of ​​joining the student council from the beginning."

Peach asked, puzzled.

"This child has a natural tendency to be dark-skinned..."

Looking at the naturally beautiful Yuri Aoi in front of her, Yue silently thought to herself.

Side Story: Seisho Prequel - Side Story Nine: Join the Student Council (Part 2)

The next day, Hinasaki, Momoko Kurosawa, and Aoi Yurisaki arrived at the student council building of Seisho Music Academy. The student council gates were tightly closed, exuding an air of authority.

Aoi stood at the door, feeling a surge of tension. Her palms were slightly sweaty, her hands clenched tightly together, her fingertips turning white from the effort. Her breathing was rapid, her heart pounding in her ears. She swallowed, her throat slightly dry, feeling an invisible pressure enveloping her.

She glanced back at Yue and Momo standing behind her. Yue's expression was calm and resolute, while Momo offered an encouraging smile. This reassured Aoi slightly, but the tension still lingered.

Aoi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She gently raised her hand, her fingers trembling slightly, and slowly approached the door. When her fingers touched the door, she felt a chill, as if some mysterious power was hidden behind it.

Her gaze hardened, and she gently knocked on the door, the sound crisp and clear. The sound echoed in the quiet corridor, sounding exceptionally distinct.

"Dong dong dong."

A few seconds later, a soft footstep came from inside the door, as if someone was approaching, and Aoi's heart suddenly started racing.

The door slowly opened, and a girl in a Seisho uniform appeared before them. The girl's gaze swept over Aoi, lingering on her nervous face.

"Is there something you need?" the girl asked gently, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"Um... I wanted to sign up to join the student council!" After saying that, Aoi bowed deeply, her eyes closed and facing the ground, waiting for the other party's reply.

The girl pushed up her glasses, and Yue vaguely felt a reflection, like that in an anime, flash before her eyes.

She thought to herself, "This doesn't seem very scientific, does it?"

The girl carefully examined the three people in front of her, a hint of appreciation in her eyes. "Are all three of you looking to join the student council? It's rare to see students joining the student council in their first year of high school."

Tsuki and Momoko quickly waved their hands and said in unison, "No, no, no, only Aoi is going to join the student council. We just came with her."

Yue and Taozi looked slightly nervous, with a hint of helplessness and apology. They hadn't expected their senior to assume that all three people standing at the door were members who wanted to join the student council.

Yue silently thought to herself, "It seems... there aren't many members in the Seisho Student Council?"

Upon hearing Yue and Momo's answer, a clear look of disappointment appeared on the other person's face. The corners of her mouth drooped slightly, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, her brows furrowed slightly, and her entire demeanor instantly sombered.

She sighed softly, her gaze shifting between the moon and the peach, as if deep in thought.

However, she quickly recovered from her disappointment. She took a deep breath and said, "I thought this year's student council president would finally join... but it still doesn't work out?"

Upon hearing this, Yue asked with some curiosity, "Could it be that none of the previous student leaders joined the student council?"

The senior student nodded in reply, "After all, although there aren't many people in Shengxiang, there are still quite a few activities at school, and the student council needs to approve quite a few applications on a daily basis, so the training time will be slightly reduced."

Although the senior only said this much, Yue already knew what she didn't say next. It was probably because the chief didn't choose to participate in student council affairs because it would shorten the training time.

The senior student continued, "But in any case, it's a good thing that first-year students are willing to participate this year. At least the approval and communication for first-year activities will be much easier."

"Then please do some simple registration, Yurisaki-san." The senior opened the door behind her completely.

The three followed the other person into the student council office. Although it was called an office, it was actually just an empty classroom that had been converted. Or rather, most student councils in most schools are like that.

Yue looked at the honorary certificates and award photos displayed on the wall, showcasing the glorious history of Shengxiang.

Seeing Yue's gaze, the senior student explained, "These are awards that student council members won in various drama competitions over the years."

After listening, Yue nodded carefully. Some of the awards in the photo were quite difficult to obtain. "If that's the case, it seems that the student council members are quite capable."

As she flipped through the documents on the table, the senior student said, "Of course, although the top student won't join the student council, we are all students of Shengxiang, so our strength is naturally not inferior."

"Alright...found it." The other person forcefully pulled a form from under a pile of documents and handed it to Yurisaki Aoi. "This is the student council application form. Please fill in the basic information, Aoi-san."

Aoi took the form. It contained very basic information, but there were still quite a few items to fill in.

Just as Aoi picked up her pen and carefully filled out each item on the form, Yue continued to browse the photos hanging on the wall. She looked forward one year at a time and found that it was only 5 years ago.

"Have you taken down all the photos of the senior students in front of you?" Yue asked.

Upon hearing Yue's question, the senior student explained, "Ah, because the space here is limited, we can only display content from the past five years. The content from before has been moved to the archives."

A sly glint flashed in Yue's eyes. Perhaps she wouldn't even need Aoi to cultivate relationships with the student council members; she could achieve her goal on her own. "I see. Then, I'd like to see some photos of the seniors. Could you take me to the archives, senior?"

The senior student didn't think much of it, simply assuming that Yue was interested in the history of the senior students. "It's very simple. Hinasaki-san, you just need to fill out a form to go to the archives."

"Okay, thank you so much, senior!" Yue thanked her very politely.

"Senior, I've finished filling out the form too!" Aoi had just finished filling out the form and handed it to the other person.

The senior student took the form, looked at it carefully, and nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, Yuri Saki Aoi. Next, I will briefly introduce the responsibilities and duties of the student council."

She tidied the documents on the table, then gently pushed up her glasses and began to explain: "The main responsibilities of the student council are to maintain school discipline and order, organize and coordinate various campus activities, represent the interests of students, and reflect students' opinions and suggestions to the school. We are also responsible for some routine administrative work, such as handling student complaints and suggestions, reviewing various theatrical projects submitted by students, and coordinating the relationship between the school and students."

"Hmm... and then?" Aoi nodded and continued to ask.

"And then? That's all. That's mainly what the student council is responsible for," the senior student said, pushing up her glasses.

"Huh? No interview or anything?" Aoi clearly hadn't expected joining the student council to be so easy.

The senior student shook her head and said, "No need. The student council already has few members, and it's not easy for someone to be willing to join. How could we possibly refuse?"

Hearing this, Yurisaki Aoi silently thought to herself, "I don't think joining the student council is a good idea after all..."

I'm still out here. These two pictures were written in my spare time on the subway, so there might be a lot of typos.

Side Story: Prequel to Saint Sho - Side Story Ten: Saint Sho's Daily Life

Although Yurisaki Aoi has joined the student council, nothing has actually changed their daily routine. They still get up early every day for morning exercises, have a simple breakfast, and then go to the classroom to complete their various classes for the day.

Since the last time the group went to the underground theater, Peach has not dreamed of the giraffe again, and the elevator that used to lead to the underground theater has also disappeared.

If Yue hadn't experienced it herself, she probably would have truly believed that it was all just a dream.

And so, the three of them, who had been experiencing something extraordinary since the start of the semester, finally got to enjoy a few days of everyday life. Everyone was very happy... except for Yuri Saki Aoi.

"I have a feeling... I've been tricked by you guys..." Yuri Saki Aoi's brows furrowed slightly, her expression full of helplessness and confusion. She looked down at the application form in her hand, her fingers unconsciously tracing patterns on the paper, as if she was thinking about something.

Hinasaki Tsuki stood in a corner of the office, her gaze drifting out the window. She held a notebook in her hand, pretending to be diligently taking notes. A slight smile played on her lips; she was clearly trying to suppress a laugh. Meanwhile, Kurosawa Momoko pretended to organize documents on the bookshelf. Her back was to everyone, but her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she were trying to hold back laughter.

"You two!" Yuri Saki glared at them helplessly, but her tone was more of a sigh than a reproach.

"Aoi, could you tell me what's wrong with this form?" Hayami Ai, the student council president, asked, pointing to the new play performance application form in Aoi's hand.

That's right, today is Yuri Saki Aoi's first day officially taking over her work in the student council. President Hayami Ai is personally teaching Yuri Saki Aoi how to read the submitted drama application forms.

Yuri Saki took a deep breath, looked down at the application form again, and tried to concentrate. "Uh... first of all, the schedule for this play conflicts with other events, and the budget seems to be a bit problematic..."

Hayami Ai nodded in satisfaction, a smile of approval on her face, and corrected her, "These are actually minor issues. Did you notice the deeper implications, Aoi?"

Yuri Saki frowned, carefully examining the application form, a hint of confusion and bewilderment in her eyes. She gently bit her lip, trying to find the hidden problem.

Her gaze swept carefully over every sentence, every word, and even every character, but even so, she was unable to find any further problems.

In the end, Yurisaki Aoi chose to surrender. "I give up, Hayami-senpai. Apart from these, I can't see any problems with this application form at all."

Hayami Ai smiled slightly, her eyes filled with encouragement and expectation. "Do you want to give it a try, Satsuki and Momo?" She didn't directly tell Yurisaki Aoi the answer to her question, but instead turned her gaze to the two who were slacking off and watching the show.

Upon hearing this, Yue walked over to Kui's side, picked up the form from her hand, and examined it carefully. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of seriousness and contemplation. However, after careful observation, she couldn't find any problems.

In the end, she could only give up: "I'm sorry... I couldn't see any other problems either. In my opinion, this application form is perfect except for the date and the amount of money requested, which are a bit too much."

"Where's Momoko?" Hayami Ai's gaze finally fell on Kurosawa Momoko.

Hayami Ai's gaze finally landed on Kurosawa Momoko. "Where's Momoko?"
