Ichinose, you will regret it.

"Then please work hard in the coming year. After all, getting along with different people is a necessary course for entering society, isn't it?"

Kanzaki Ryuji said this with a gloating look on his face.

"That's true, but getting along with each other is another matter."

Based on the personality of the student council president observed by Sugigen above,

I'm afraid my plan to slack off in the student union in the next year will be dashed.

That being the case.

"You guys go ahead. I want to meet the student union president first."

Uesugi Gen said to Shibata and Kanzaki beside him.

"Okay, let's go first."

Anyway, let's go and pay a visit to the student council president - Horikita Manabu.

Chapter 11: A Promise, Double Happiness, and Sorrow

"President, is that girl your sister?"

Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane were walking one after the other on their way back to the student council.

After working together for three years, Akane Tachibana naturally learned from Horikita Manabu's daily conversations that he had a younger sister.

Just now, Horikita Manabu seemed to be looking at all the students in the grade, but in fact, his attention was always on a certain position in Class D.

"Did you notice that, kid?"

A hint of helplessness and doting appeared on Horikita Manabu's face.

"Hmm, what a beautiful girl. She must be as good as the president."

Ju Qian recalled the girl's appearance and nodded repeatedly while holding the folder.

"No, I hate to say it, but that kid is still far from it."

Although he dotes on his sister very much, the serious-minded Horikita Manabu still gave a negative answer.

As an older brother, he was well aware of the character flaws his sister had, so he didn't feel too surprised when he found out that she was assigned to Class D.

It seems that Lingyin's personality of insisting on doing her own thing has not changed in the past three years. I don't know whether she can cope with the fierce competition in Gaoyu in the future.

While responding to Akane Tachibana's words, Horikita Manabu was secretly worried about his sister.

Before they knew it, the two of them had walked back to the student union.

Click!

Horikita Manabu turned the doorknob and opened the door to the student union.

"Hey, the two seniors are back from their date."

A hearty voice came from a corner of the student union.

The two turned their attention and saw a boy leisurely flipping through some information from the student union.

The boy had a head of messy hair that was cut casually and not combed much, letting it fall naturally yet just right. The school uniform of Gaodu Yucheng Middle School was worn on his slender but not rough body, and the collar of the white lining was not buttoned, leaving it slightly open. His black eyes looked bright under his eyebrows, and his somewhat pale but healthy skin color made people exclaim in admiration, what a handsome boy he was.

Hearing Uesugi Gen say that the two of them were going out on a date, Tachibana blushed slightly, but still stepped forward to stop him.

"This classmate is a student——"

"Ju, this isn't an unrelated person, this is a new member of the student council."

As soon as Tachibana Akane stepped forward, she was stopped by Horikita Manabu.

Akane Tachibana looked at Manabu Horikita with some confusion. She was the secretary of the student union, so how could she not know that someone had joined the student union?

Horikita Manabu calmly pushed his glasses up and explained to Tachibana Akane,

"Last night, the school sent me a notice asking me to vacate the student union vice president position and give it to a first-year student."

Horikita Manabu once again looked at the boy with sharp eyes.

"I'm right, isn't it? Uesugi Gen from Class B, first grade."

When Tachibana Akane heard what Horikita Manabu said, she showed an incredible expression.

"How is that possible? The school has always given the student union a high degree of autonomy. Suddenly parachuting in a freshman as vice president is something that has never happened since the school was founded."

In the face of Tachibana Akane's doubts, Uesugi Gen didn't take it seriously and continued to look through the budget application forms of various clubs in Gaoyu, and said casually,

"Records are something that will eventually be created over time, but could you please speak faster next time, President? If you speak like that, you'll be cursed by the students."

"Anyway, this is it. I'm the new vice president of the student union. Please give me your guidance, seniors."

Although he said "please give me your guidance", Uesugi Gen had no intention of standing up and continued to sit in his seat looking at the documents.

Gao Yuke is really rich. Any of their clubs has such a huge amount of money. I thought it was a bit of a loss when I only asked for 3000 million last time.

"As a freshman, at least stand up when talking to a senior."

Akane Tachibana said to Gen Uesugi with some dissatisfaction.

Horikita Manabu looked at Uesugi Gen, who had no intention of standing up to reply to him, and didn't care.

Instead, he pulled over a chair and sat down directly opposite Uesugi Gen, crossing his hands in front of his chin, assuming the posture of Commander Ikari.

He said in a decisive voice,

"You were parachuted in by the school. As the source of the student union's power, I can't object."

"But the student union of Gaodu Yucheng Middle School manages all the big and small things in the school, but it doesn't have the talent to handle them."

"Then as the president of the Student Union of Gaodu Yucheng Middle School, even if it goes against the wishes of the school, I will ensure that you cannot interfere in any affairs of the Student Union during my term!"

Snap, very quickly.

Uesugi Gen threw the documents in his hand back to their original place, took back the recorder hidden in it, and suddenly came to Horikita Manabu, holding Horikita Manabu's hands with a smile on his face.

"Senior, I recorded it."

"Once you've made a promise, you can't go back on your word."

……

Horikita Manabu was silent for two seconds.

Was I being tricked by this freshman?

Akane Tachibana, who was present, stared at Uesugi Gen's action in amazement.

The president...was actually fooled by a freshman.

Faced with Horikita Manabu's awkward silence, Uesugi Gen had no intention of giving him a chance to regret and ran away directly.

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. Remember our agreement, Horikita-senpai."

"goodbye!"

After saying this at a very fast speed, Uesugi Gen opened the office door with a jumpy step.

then,

Ichinose, who was coming towards him, bumped into him.

"Hello... eh?"

“Hahaha… huh?”

Boom——

……

It is well known that the human nose is located at the front of the human body, and it is also well known that girls are generally shorter than boys.

and so……

"It hurts, it hurts, be gentle."

As Uesugi Gen looked at the cotton swab that was getting bigger and bigger, a feeling of fear arose in his heart.

"I'm so sorry, Uesugi-kun, I didn't expect someone to show up so suddenly."

Ichinose took a cotton swab dipped in medicine and wiped Uesugi Gen's nose bit by bit, saying it apologetically.

"Forget it, just consider it a lesson. Sometimes getting too carried away isn't a good thing."

Uesugi Gen wanted to touch his nose, but he didn't dare.

"Horikita-senpai, I was injured at the entrance of the student union. This is considered a work-related injury, right? The student union will compensate me with some points, right?"

"There is no such thing."

……

"So you're here to apply to join the student council, and you're also a student in Class B, Year 1."

Horikita Manabu was looking at Ichinose's file in his hand, while at the same time observing the boy who had tricked him without leaving any trace.

“Yes, I hope to better help more classmates by joining the student union.”

Sitting next to Uesugi Gen, Ichinose nodded heavily with his hands nervously placed on his thighs.

"I see. You also served on the student council in junior high school. You have a wealth of experience, and your classmates and teachers in junior high school also praised you highly."

Listening to what Horikita Manabu said, Uesugi Gen nodded frequently.

Well, yes, she is very good.

then……

"I'm sorry you were rejected."

"Nani, say it again!"

Uesugi Gen's voice echoed throughout the student council, and he stood up and looked directly at Horikita Manabu.

"Uesugi-kun, stop doing this, sit down quickly."

Ichinose, who was standing by, quickly grabbed Uesugi Gen's hand and tried to get him to sit down, but a look of disappointment still showed in his eyes.

"Although it's not explicitly stated, in order to avoid an imbalance of power, in principle, only one student from each class can join the student union. First-year Class B already has you as the vice president, so..."

"Ha, what a bullshit excuse! You're just having an office romance."

"Tachibana is with me because the student council president has too much work and needs an assistant to help share the workload."

"Well, I'm also the vice president of the student council, so I need someone to share the work. Anyway, Ichinose must—"

"That's enough, Uesugi-kun!"

A voice interrupted the fierce confrontation between the two.

Ichinose grabbed Uesugi Gen's hand to stop him from speaking.

Afterwards, he bowed to Horikita Manabu and the others and said calmly,

"I'm sorry to trouble you two seniors."

Then, he took Uesugi Gen's hand and left silently.

Horikita Manabu looked at the backs of the two and sighed secretly.

In the student union, Minamigumo Masaru and Horikita Manabu, who are both vice presidents of the student union along with Uesugi Gen, have serious ideological differences. Minamigumo Masaru himself has also begun to integrate the resources of the second years, and the next step may be the student union.

Therefore, in order to protect the first-year students from the clutches of Nanyun Masaru, Horikita Gakusai rejected Ichinose's application.

As for Uesugi Gen, just based on the fact that he used a recorder to trick him, Horikita Manabu concluded that this first-year student was no simple person.

Although there was no substantial evidence, based on his understanding of the school over the past three years, he could vaguely guess why Uesugi Gen was parachuted into the student union as vice president.

So he was not worried about this aspect. The only thing he needed to consider was whether Uesugi Gen would side with Nan Yun because of this matter.

……

On the street, Ichinose and Uesugi Gen were walking one after the other.

"Really? Didn't you say you wanted to join the student council to help your classmates? Just now, it was clear that if you just held on a little longer, that guy Horikita Manabu would give in, but you gave up on your own."

Looking at Ichinose who kept walking forward in silence, Uesugi Gen spoke.

"Because, I don't want to... I don't want to see Uesugi-kun ruin his relationship with the seniors in the student council because of me."
