Why wasn't I the one who got the male lead's script?

What a good kid, he stands out from the crowd.

When the members of this travel group are all playful and willful children who wait for adults to clean up after them (Eri Sawamura), a workaholic who can be said to be an adult but has serious lack of self-care ability (Utaha Kasumigaoka), a thousand-layer pancake character whose emotions are unpredictable and who likes to watch the fun and get involved (Ai Hayasaka), and a hands-off cadre whose face has "I'm unhappy and need to be comforted" written all over it (Rio Futaba)——

Kato's presence seems particularly fresh and refined.

On the tram, she will sit quietly next to you in the corner, and attentively hand you a bottle of water as a greeting; after everyone gets on the bus, she will privately and considerately ask if anyone is carsick, and has already prepared motion sickness medicine in her bag; when getting off the bus, she will carry your luggage without saying a word, proving her thoughtfulness and gentleness with her actions.

Indeed, Hoshimi had thought many times before, "Is this just a little trick that Kato uses to express himself?"

However, since her actions truly helped me and she had no ill intentions, there was no need to speculate on her motives in helping me.

"Wow...Kato, what a good boy, an angel. Kato maji tenshi, K·M·T!"

"Although I don't know what exactly you are talking about, Hoshimi-kun, thank you for the compliment."

"........."

Futaba, who was standing not far in front of the two and was about to follow the excited Eriri and Shiyu into the hotel, turned around and watched their interaction in silence. Although the aura looked a little bad, she still said nothing.

On the other hand, Miss Futaba, who had been following behind her and observing her with great interest since the beginning, noticed that Futaba was particularly concerned about the conversation between the two people who stayed behind the team, and she also turned her attention to Hoshimi and Kato.

Then, her face, which was already filled with a gentle smile, unconsciously took on a layer of other meaning.

"Hey—so you two were so considerate as to stay behind and carry everyone's luggage."

Miss Hayasaka, who plays the dual roles of a hot and energetic girl and a considerate older sister, came skipping in front of the two of them and naturally inserted herself between them, gently touching the heads of Hoshimi and Kato.

"Well~ You two are both good kids, both little angels!"

"Wait, sister..."

"Well……"

Hoshimi and Kato, who were caught off guard by the sudden head pat, both shrank their shoulders at the same time, with similar expressions of surprise and embarrassment appearing on their faces.

The only difference was that after the boy Hoshimi reacted, he stared at the smiling Miss Hayasaka with a rather dissatisfied look, while Miss Kato stood there obediently and blankly like a kitten being stroked, blinking her eyes and letting Hayasaka rub her little head.

"As a good child, of course I can't work so hard. I'll help you share some of the burden."

Miss Hayasaka smiled and took out some of the luggage from Kato's arms. At the same time, she also took two or three carry-on bags (the owners of which were Eriri) from Hoshimi's hands. Then she tilted her head and winked at Kato.

"If everyone shared some of the burden, no one would become a moving storage box carrying bags, right?"

"what………"

When Miss Kato was a little slow to react, a figure turned around and walked back to her with steady steps.

That was Futaba, with her hands in her pockets and a calm expression.

For some reason, she also stretched out her right hand towards Kato like Hayasaka, and moved her fingers slightly.

"...?"

Ms. Kato tilted her head slightly in confusion.

"Here, give me some too."

She expressed her request in a calm but somewhat irresistible tone.

"what……"

After coming to his senses, Kato obediently handed her some luggage as Futaba had asked.

Futaba picked up the luggage and lifted it up with both hands neatly. She didn't even look at Xingjian who was about to let go of some of the weight with a relieved expression on her face. She walked straight towards the hotel entrance without looking back.

"Uh……"

This also froze the smile on Xingjian's face before it could even break out as a small package was handed to him.

"Speaking of which, isn't this double standard a bit too much?"

“Well…”

Ms. Kato, who was standing by, could only comfort the frustrated boy with a somewhat forced smile, and patted the boy's shoulder, saying something like "If you are tired, just leave your luggage to me."

“? ~”

The blonde girl who was walking in front carrying a lot of bags turned her head slightly and looked at the black-haired boy who was lagging behind the team with a slightly amused look. The smile on her face was more of a kind of joy similar to "schadenfreude".

"There's more interesting stuff to come—it would be too boring to get discouraged now."

Hayasaka Ai smiled silently and turned around, looking at the figures of Eriri and Shiwa standing at the door of the hotel.

Rather than looking at them, it would be more accurate to say that Hayasaka was looking at the hotel door that was about to be pushed open by the excited Eriri.

However, before Eriri could push open the door, the wooden door of the hotel was pushed open from the inside of the room.

"President...are there really no other tourists here besides us? It's really not you or Shinomiya-san who has reserved the whole place? The scenery is beautiful and the rooms and facilities are quite good, so why is it so unpopular..."

"I've already told you I did a lot of research before coming here. I specifically chose off-the-beaten-path, affordable, and worthwhile destinations as our student union's travel destinations."

"Hey... the president is so concerned..."

"Well, well. I always give my all to everything. Besides, no matter what, this is the first group activity with new members since Iino-san joined our student council, so of course I have to prepare carefully and in advance—ahem, be fully prepared...eh."

The sounds of conversation were getting closer and closer. When the door was opened, a boy with short blond hair and a boy with medium-length black hair, dressed in autumn casual clothes, appeared in front of everyone one after another.

"........."

For a moment, the two pairs of eyes met with several pairs of eyes outside the door, and everyone stopped what they were doing at the same time.

Eriri and Shiina, who were nearby, obviously denied that these two people were people they knew, and the boys named Shirogane Miyuki and Ishigami Yu only paused for a moment on them and quickly shifted their gaze to the figures on the other side that they were more familiar with.

The black-haired boy who caught up with Kato from the end of the group piled up his luggage, which was taller than him, to the side with some difficulty. When he raised his head, he met their gaze.

“…Huh? Huh?”

Ishigami and Shirogane both glanced at the girls around them, and finally looked at the boy with a meaningful look in their eyes.

"Hoshimi/Haru-senpai?"

"Shirogane and Ishigami...?"

The three young men present all looked towards the opposing party and cried out in surprise. It was obvious that they were all very surprised by this "chance encounter".

The other girls just stood aside, looking puzzled and bewildered.

Of course, this does not include the blonde girl Hayasaka Ai, who was standing in the blind spot of Shirogane and Ishigami's sight, leaning in the corner with a faint smile on her face.

"Alright, the battle can begin now."

She folded her hands in front of her, suppressing the last bit of her smile that could have hinted at her strategic planning.

The [plan to build good relationships between Xiaoqing and the student council members of Shuchiin] has just begun.

What's a sister?! Of course, brothers are more important! (Righteous dog head

"Oh, so that's how it is... Shirogane, are you and the entire student council traveling together?"

The situation is a little complicated now.

Mr. Hoshimi put the luggage on his shoulders aside and let the hotel staff take it away. His expression was a little difficult to describe - he was surrounded by two young men he had just met.

"Oh!! I didn't expect to see you here, it seems we are indeed destined to meet!"

Baiyin Yuxing smiled and patted Xingjian's shoulder, and his excitement at accidentally meeting an acquaintance in a foreign land was beyond words.

To be honest, when their student union went out for a trip, he had also thought about "should we find a way to bring that Hoshimi along?" If Shirogane's main strategic target wasn't Kaguya Shinomiya and he wasn't sure if Hoshimi had the time, he might have asked it a long time ago.

Ishigami, who was standing a little further away from the two of them, didn't say anything, but he was still looking at Shirogane, who was arm in arm, and Hoshimi, who had a subtle expression, with a very gentle gaze - there was nothing he could do, that was just his personality.

As for the boy who saw Xing, he didn't seem to show any surprise or joy at meeting a good friend by chance in a foreign land.

"Oh, it's those two guys. Qing, you're really lucky to meet friends here too."

"It was destined that we could meet here."

Eriri and Shiyu both greeted Shirogane Ishigami calmly, then dragged their suitcases to the room to put their backpacks away.

"........."

Miss Futaba watched this accidental encounter between same-sex friends for a while with an indifferent look on her face, then turned around and walked towards her room without saying a word.

"It looks like we need to catch up, so please take your time. We'll go put away our luggage first."

Miss Kato Megumi smiled gently, then waved her little hand at the boy Hoshimi who was sandwiched between two boys with a subtle expression, turned around and followed Futaba - saying this reminded me that Kato had said before that she wanted to have a good relationship with Futaba.

Oh, by the way. When Miss Kato left, she also took away some of Hoshimi's luggage. It seemed that she wanted to help him carry it to his room. After all, everyone's rest rooms at night were adjacent.

"Eh? Those girls just now... all came with you, Qing-senpai?"

Ishigami blinked, and waited until Kato left before leaning over to Hoshimi's ear and asking cautiously.

"I... apart from that intellectual senior with long black hair, I don't really know anyone..."

The only person he knew was Kasumigaoka Utaha - and that was only because they had met in the same game group before. At that time, Utaha was the recorder brought by Hoshimi, and he was simply familiar with her face.

"Hmm... Now that I think about it, that girl with the golden hair and twintails also feels strangely familiar to me... Why is that..."

Baiyin placed his index finger on his chin thoughtfully, his sharp eyes becoming even sharper at this moment.

Ah, speaking of which, all the people around this guy Hoshimi are beautiful girls.

Ishigami Yuya, who was standing by, seemed to realize something very serious, and his eyes gradually became resentful.

"Haru-senpai... I thought you were one of us, a 1989 solo womb ...

Although they complained in their hearts, both Ishigami and Shirogane quickly got over it.

Well, no matter what, it would be best if someone was with this guy - the two of them reached this consensus in their hearts without any prior agreement.

Watching his companions leaving one after another, even with Ishigami and Shirogane, whom he had met by chance, Hoshimi's expression did not relax - he just looked around and found that a certain blonde girl was nowhere to be seen, then he sighed meaningfully.

No matter how slow-witted Xing Jian was, he was now able to realize that something was wrong - not to mention that he had never been slow-witted.

"Well, don't just stand here like an idiot. Go sit over to the pavilion. We just arrived today too. Shinomiya, Iino, and Fujiwara are all resting there."

Baiyin poked the back of Xingjian's shoulder with his fist in a natural manner, and was about to take him to the pavilion.

"Well, it seems that Haru-senpai hasn't met Iino-san yet. It would be nice to let that guy get to know you, senpai."

Although the words Ishigami said with a smile were completely different from Shirogane's meaning, the two of them reached an unprecedented consensus.

"Ah, well... Speaking of which, Shirogane, was this trip organized by the student council?"

For some reason, Xingjian did not answer the two people's questions directly. Instead, after glancing slightly behind them, he asked this question that sounded completely unrelated to their topic.

"Huh? Well...that's true."

Baiyin frowned in confusion at first, then expressed his thoughts honestly.

"I proposed the proposal, and the result was obtained by soliciting opinions and voting from everyone in the student union office."

Well, of course, I want to use the power of the prayer shrine to capture Shinomiya Castle - such a thing is absolutely not to be said out loud.

"But I originally thought that this trip plan would probably fail, but surprisingly, Shinomiya didn't go against me this time."

“Oh…I see.”

Xingjian narrowed his eyes slightly, and then his sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a blonde girl who was turning the corner of the corridor - carrying her luggage and seemed to be going upstairs. After being discovered, she showed a mischievous and bright smile and waved at him.

"That's what I said...but it was definitely my sister who did it in private."

After all, the chances of running into friends who are inseparable from your social life but not overly close to you at the same hotel during the same holiday—and everyone checking in on the same day—are incredibly small.

Therefore, Hoshimi cast his suspicious eyes towards Hayasaka who was about to move his luggage to the room, and conveyed the question of "Is this something you did privately, sister?" with his eyes.

Of course, the latter didn't directly answer his doubts. Initially, the blonde girl had a bewildered and aggrieved expression. After seeing the questioning look in Hoshimi's eyes didn't waver in the slightest, she brushed it off with a bright and energetic smile. She tilted her head and stuck out her tongue at Hoshimi, who was sandwiched between Shirogane and Ishigami, before turning and disappearing into the corner.

"You guy..."

Even though he didn't get an answer, Xingjian grinned because he felt that his guess was almost right.

His guess was that Hayasaka had used various subtle psychological hints to induce Shirogane to set this place as the destination of their trip - as for Shinomiya, she should have used the same method.

But the only thing that doesn't make sense is why Hayasaka did this.

Before Hoshimi could come to a conclusion, Shirogane and Ishigami, chatting and laughing, pulled him towards the pavilion. Since Hoshimi's luggage had been taken to his room by Kato and Hayasaka respectively, he didn't have to worry about anything else.

In the pavilion, Hoshimi simply greeted everyone in the Shuchiin Student Union and chatted for about ten minutes (mainly because the topic was always diverted by a certain overjoyed Miss Fujiwara). After being introduced by everyone, she got to know the Student Union's financial supervisor, the first-year senior Iino Miko, then said goodbye to them and returned to her room.

Speaking of the rooms, the general arrangement is as follows.

Our guest rooms are all on the first floor, divided into north and south sides by a corridor. At the end of the corridor is the hot spring area.
