Their restricted abilities are refreshed every week.

——Just wait, or do as the note says.

All in all, wait half an hour.

Watching Xiangzi eating the pudding bit by bit, Shirakawa Haru picked up the documents on the table and started reading.

——He thought the person hiding behind the scenes would definitely not want to see this boring scene.

Taking advantage of the break from eating pudding, Shoko Toyokawa secretly glanced at Haru Shirakawa and found that he was actually a little overwhelmed after starting to organize the documents.

——If this happens, then I won’t be able to ask the questions I want to ask?!

If I had known this earlier, I would have just modified the president's thinking and asked the same question as last time... No!

She had checked online a couple of days ago and found that even within the scope of "common sense modification", forcibly distorting the target's thinking was the worst approach.

Shoko Toyokawa quickly suppressed the bad thoughts in her heart - it was because of the last time that she felt more apologetic than normal towards the president. If she did the same thing this time, wouldn't she be repeating the same mistake?

While absentmindedly eating tiramisu, Xiangzi was thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Within two minutes, another note appeared in front of Shirakawa Haru.

[Answer the question within three minutes, otherwise the conditions for leaving will be changed to "You two need to kiss for one minute"]

——Oh, it’s urgent again.

——I didn’t expect that the mastermind behind this was so impatient that he couldn’t even wait for a few minutes.

Perhaps the duration of this barrier is coming to an end.

But Shirakawa Haru couldn't possibly gamble.

He turned around and saw Xiangzi, who was blushing as he clenched the note, and sighed in his heart.

The key issue is not "one minute", but that if he really did that kind of thing with Xiangzi, even for just a moment, their relationship would never be the same as before.

——That’s what Shirakawa Haru thinks.

"Toyokawa-san, please answer this question."

Shirakawa Haru handed Xiangzi a pen and paper: "If it's inconvenient to say it, just write it down."

Shoko Toyokawa, who didn't expect the goal to be achieved so easily, nodded blankly, and then wrote down the number she had estimated in her mind on the paper.

——Answer the questions truthfully.

This restriction or all common sense modifications will not work for the owner of the candy house.

So even if Shoko Toyokawa wrote "100" on a piece of paper, there would be no problem.

The two exchanged papers.

What Shirakawa Haru saw was "4".

——As expected, Baichuan Qing thought that he was indeed nothing to the young lady in front of him. The other party came from a wealthy family and had probably met countless outstanding talents in her life.

At best, I can only be considered a more knowledgeable student council president than anyone I met in high school.

But that's about it.

To Xiangzi, he was just a passer-by.

Shoko Toyokawa got "7".

She turned the note several times, and only after confirming that she had read it correctly did she feel confused.

Although Shirakawa Haru has done many good things, what does this have to do with her?

In Shirakawa Haru's eyes, isn't she just a cheap labor force that will continue to be self-involved?

That unwavering "Correct!" lingered in her mind for a long time. How could Shirakawa Haru, who could say such a thing, possibly write "7"?

Aren’t there many outstanding women around him?

Even Xiao Mu is just a "7" to me...

The student union room fell into an unspeakable silence for a moment.

So the second note fell at the right time.

[Describe the other person's image in your eyes in detail and comprehensively, whether you like or dislike him/her.]

——So you’re starting a blind date right now, right?

Shirakawa Haru felt a little nervous when he saw the question, but he had to write it down. The key was to tell the whole truth.

If it was judged to be fake and the marriage was carried out directly, he felt that Xiangzi would hate him for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Teacher Daxiang on the opposite side ended the battle in less than thirty seconds, Baichuan Qing couldn't help but feel a little numb.

He lowered his head and casually read a line of his own writing: [Although she appears aloof, she's actually quite warm-hearted. However, she often takes on all the pressure, holding things in, which makes her feel awkward. Of course I like her. Who wouldn't like Toyokawa Shoko-san...?]

——What the hell, public execution?

Sweating profusely, Shirakawa Haru took the note from Xiangzi, which had only one sentence written on it:

[I think it’s no different from other people’s opinions].

Gan!

Shirakawa Haru's eyes darkened at the thought of at least three people reading his lengthy speech—Teacher Daxiang! This is a crucial event related to your first kiss. Who are you putting pressure on by writing it so simply?!

But surprisingly, the mastermind behind the scenes did not judge Xiangzi's words as "false", but instead threw out a third note.

——After confirming the answers to the two indirect questions, Shoko Toyokawa finally let go of some of the grudges in her heart and dared to ask the most crucial question.

[If someone invites you to form a band, would you agree? ]

Shirakawa Haru: "Huh?"

After laying the groundwork for so long, this is all you say in the end?

Are you the one who formed the band?

——Shoko Toyokawa had already written down the answer and was looking at the other person out of the corner of her eye with a little nervousness.

If there is a job that can become popular and make a lot of money in a short period of time and is suitable for her current abilities.

After much thought, Shoko Toyokawa concluded that the only option was "Band".

And with the president's full support, Toyokawa Shoko is confident that she can form a band that can really become popular and quickly debut within a month.

The key lies in the president...

Since the president recognizes me so much, I will definitely agree.

"I don't think I'll agree to that, Toyokawa-san."

After he finished speaking, Xiangzi's hand that had handed over the note hung stiffly in the air.

Chapter 15: If I could use the candy house to make the president my own...

"I don't think I'll agree to that, Toyokawa-san."

This time, Shirakawa Haru didn't pass the note, but spoke directly, not only to say it to Toyokawa Shoko, but also to say it to the unknown guy behind the scenes,

"—Maybe I would have agreed before yesterday, but unfortunately, I joined anon yesterday...ah, the band that Chihaya-san started."

Shirakawa Haru's tone was very calm, and her pronunciation was clear: "You know me, Toyokawa-san. Now that I have made a decision, I will not regret it. This is my responsibility to Anon and her band."

—anon? The pink-haired Ryuko who couldn't stand staying in England? The president had only known her for a few days and already he was calling her so affectionate?

Toyokawa Shoko nodded: "Since the president and I think the same, there is no need to look at it again."

After saying that, she took back the note she was about to hand over, sat back in her seat, and then slowly, bit by bit, crumpled the small note into a ball under the table.

——That girl named Chihaya Aine had only been back in the country for a few days and she was messing around like this. The British student who came back in disgrace is indeed not a good person.

Since the president has made the decision, there is no need for him to expand the barrier any further.

So Shoko Toyokawa put away the candy house barrier.

The door of the student council room wobbled open, causing Shirakawa Haru, who was wondering why the next question hadn't appeared yet, to look up and see the corridor outside and a classmate who happened to be passing by.

The barrier suddenly disappeared?

why?

——Could it be that the purpose of the mastermind behind this is to get Xiangzi to form a band with him?

This lame excuse... is it really tenable?

Shirakawa Haru was very unsure.

He was unusually unable to fathom the thoughts of his potential enemies.

"President! The glass fragments have disappeared! And it seems to be connected to the road outside!"

Toyokawa Shoko shouted in feigned joy, but her heart was as calm as stagnant water.

"Well, I'll go take a look."

Shirakawa Haru hesitated for a moment when he stood up - what if the other party wanted to use this opportunity to separate him and Xiangzi?

So he said, "Could you lend me your hand for a while, Toyokawa-san?"

He extended his hand towards Toyokawa Shoko: "This is safer. No one knows if the barrier will appear again."

"Ok."

Holding Shirakawa Haru's hand tightly, Toyokawa Shoko's heart remained calm.

Because she knew that even if the person sitting here was not her, not [Toyokawa Shoko], but an ordinary stranger, Shirakawa Haru would still extend her hand.

A gentle person is gentle to everyone.

This is not my privilege.

Following Shirakawa Haru out of the student council room, Toyokawa Shoko could see that he was obviously relieved.

"Looks like it's all right, Toyokawa-san."

After she heard Shirakawa Haru finish speaking, she saw him turn around and walk back into the student council room.

"We haven't finished the topic just now, so I'll just sort out some documents and stuff." Shirakawa Haru saw Xiangzi still standing there, thinking she was still scared, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

"Oh... um."

She sat down again in a daze, and before she could open her mouth, she heard Baichuan Qing start to complain:

"——Let me be honest, I didn't really want to join a band. I've got a lot of student council work to do, let alone a high school girl band like this."

Shirakawa Haru sighed, "Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do. Anon has joined the student union... My original intention was to reduce your workload, so when I interviewed her, I accepted the title of 'chairman'."

"God knows I'll be assigned to the same class as her, and she'll use me as the handle to pretend to be the chairman."

Is this really the case?

Toyokawa Shoko frowned.

No, that's not right.

How could the president be caught by the other party just because of such an insignificant handle as "pretending to be the chairman"?

As long as this matter is made clear, it won't be a big deal considering the president's reputation...

Wait a moment.

——If the president doesn’t give in and join her band, then Chihaya Aine, who was tricked into joining the student council by the president pretending to be the chairman, will quit.

——So the president gave the pink-haired girl his business card not to give her a backdoor... but to make things easier for me?

Toyokawa Shoko widened her eyes slightly.

So the president pretended to be caught because of her?

"Um, Toyokawa-san." Shirakawa Haru coughed twice and whispered, "I'm just complaining to you about my bad luck and the other party's 'sinister and cunning'. Don't tell anyone."

secret.

This is a secret between her and Shirakawa Haru.

It was a [privilege] that only she could know.

A subtle joy appeared in Toyokawa Shoko's heart.

But when she thought about how Shirakawa Haru was forced to join that pink-haired band for her, she felt indescribable distress in her heart.
