What a twist! The loser heroine!

"Ah! Really... Please don't touch my clothes like that again, senior! The student council president will be back soon, and I'll have to rearrange them all over again—"

After angrily fleeing from Shikiya's embrace, Tenai Hoshino quickly left the student council room after eating the last piece of bread, seemingly to tidy her clothes.

Seeing that there was no one else with warm water in the activity room, she opened the lunchbox that Princess Hime had given her and prepared to enjoy her lunch.

"Then, I'll start."

As soon as the lid was lifted, the aroma of curry began to fill the activity room.

"Wow, today's meal is curry rice and croquettes—"

"...Wen Shui...are you...a member of the Literature Club?"

Just as Wen Shui picked up the first croquette, Shiki-ya-senpai walked up to him and asked a question in that same strange tone.

"Yes, I am a member of the literary society," Wen Shui answered honestly.

"So...the two people who took me to the infirmary that day...?"

Shikiya sat down next to the warm water.

"Senior sister must be referring to Himegami and Komari, right? They're both in the Literature Club." Wen Shui put a croquette in her mouth and then recalled, "But Himegami only submitted her application last Friday. I wonder if the student council has any record of it."

Shikiya nodded slightly.

"I see……"

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Wen Shui... what do you think of... the ancient capital?"

[The old capital...? Are you referring to Tsukinoki-senpai? Using her name directly? It sounds like Shikiya-senpai and the vice president are quite familiar with each other...]

Wen Shui would never speak ill of Yue Zhi Mu in front of acquaintances, such as her writing 18+ BL novels. It would be better to help Yue Zhi Mu keep her past actions a secret.

He quickly swallowed the rice in his mouth and then coughed lightly twice.

"Well, how should I put it? Although I thought the vice president was a bit strange at first, after spending more time with her, I found that she is a very nice person."

After spending more than a month together in the club, Wen Shui and Yue Zhi Mu were already very familiar with each other.

"Her care and help for me and Xiao Ju, two first-year students, was absolutely genuine."

Wen Shui unconsciously stirred the croquette with her chopsticks, then recalled, "Although Senior Yue Zhi Mu is very easygoing, she always takes care of my and Xiao Ju's feelings. Even though the Literature Club doesn't have many activities, she would occasionally come up with little surprises to make us happy."

Without realizing it, a genuine smile appeared on Wen Shui's face.

"Vice President Moonwood—she's really a wonderful senior." That's how he summarized it.

From the moment Wen Shui began to answer, Shikiya Yumeko, who had been staring intently at him, suddenly showed a flicker of emotion in her white pupils.

"Well...I know..."

After saying that, she dragged the chair to a position closer to the warm water.

"Wen Shui..."

"Shikiya-senpai?" Wen Shui looked at the senior who suddenly approached her, feeling a little strange.

"...It smells very good."

The senior student leaned closer to the warm water and gently sniffed the air.

【ha???】

Wen Shui's eyes widened, and it took her a while to realize that what her senior was actually referring to was the smell of the bento box.

"Um, senior, do you want some too?"

"I didn't eat lunch today..."

"Senior, Ms. Xiao Ba from the infirmary has diagnosed you with frequent hypoglycemia." Upon hearing this, Wen Shui immediately asked with concern, "What should we do if you faint again this afternoon?"

"Feel sorry……"

It's not that I'm asking you to apologize.

Having only known her for a short time, Wen Shui found it difficult to comprehend the eccentric thought process of this hot senior.

He looked at the few remaining croquettes in his lunchbox, hesitated for a moment, and then stood up.

"Warm Water classmate...?"

As if she hadn't heard her senior's question, Wen Shui went straight to the sink in the student council room, washed the chopsticks she had just used, and then came back.

Sitting back down, Wen Shui used her clean chopsticks to pick up an untouched croquette, placed it on the lid of the lunchbox, and then pushed the lid towards her senior.

"It's not a proper meal, but it'll at least fill your stomach," Wen Shui said to her senior. "If you need anything, I can give you everything. Oh, and since there are no chopsticks, please remember to wash your hands before eating."

"I see."

As she said this, the senior student reached out and picked up a croquette.

"Don't touch it with unwashed hands!"

Unexpectedly, Kazuhiko Nukumizu, who was quite persistent in certain aspects, let out a lament.

~Twentieth Defeat~ Student Council During Lunch Break, Part Two (Read by Qiuqiu)

In the end, I was the one who took my senior to wash her hands...

Wen Shui glanced at the senior student who was picking up a croquette with clean hands and taking small bites, shook his head, and decided to focus on his own lunch.

He ate quite quickly, and soon finished the entire lunchbox full of food. This was, of course, thanks to Himegami's excellent cooking skills; after all, even the upperclassman asked for an extra croquette.

Wen Shui picked up the empty lunchbox, walked to the sink, adjusted the water flow, and began washing it. Watching the water splash against the lunchbox, he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right, Shikiya-senpai—"

Wen Shui placed the washed lunchboxes by the sink, then turned and sat down next to her senior, speaking softly.

"Ok?"

The senior student tilted her head, waiting for him to speak.

Just then, the door to the student council's activity room was pushed open.

"Excuse me, do you know someone named Shikiya Amami?"

Following behind were Masato Tenai and another male classmate. The second-year student council president, Hibari Hohara, who had just pushed open the door, froze on the spot with Shikiya Yumeko after hearing Wenshui Kazuhiko's question.

"How did Wen Shui... know... this name?"

Sitting next to Wenshui, Shikiya-senpai asked a question in her unchanging tone.

"I'd also be very interested to hear the answer to that question."

The one who uttered these words was none other than the student council president, Hibari Hohara. She smiled and walked straight from the door to the long table, looking at Wen Shui with a scrutinizing gaze.

"You're not a member of the student council, did Shikiya let you in?"

"Yes... um, I'm Kazuhiko Nukumizu from Class 1-C."

"Tian Aixing already told me," Fang Huyuan, the former student council president, said as he sat down at the long table with Tian Aixing and another male classmate. He then continued in a curious tone:

"Okay, let's continue with the previous question. How did you know that name? Wen Shui from the Literature Club."

"Uh--"

It was the first time that the student council president had been staring at him, and he felt a little embarrassed and flustered. However, he still honestly explained to the student council members what had happened on Sunday when he met Shikiya Amami in Nagoya with Komari.

Half a minute later, Hibari Hara nodded slightly at the warm water.

"I have a pretty good understanding of the situation."

She picked up the teacup handed to her by a male classmate, took a sip of the cold tea, and then said, "In other words, in order to boost tourism, Toyohashi City plans to reach an agreement with the publisher to hold a large-scale book signing event in Toyohashi."

“Yes, after all, this large-scale book signing event included three writers from Toyohashi City.” Wen Shui recalled the situation that day: “Mr. Shikiya Amami said that the venue had already been chosen, and it would be held at the Toyohashi Art Museum.”

"The location has been decided. It seems that Toyohashi was well prepared." The chairman chuckled, turned his gaze to Shikiya Yumeko, and said, "As expected of the Shikiya family, they handle matters with the same clean and efficient efficiency."

"Huh?" Wen Shui was taken aback.

[So they really are my senior's family?]

Seemingly noticing the boy's confusion, Shikiya-senpai nodded and explained, "Shikiya Tensuke... is my uncle... he works at the city council."

"I see." Wen Shui nodded.

The room fell silent as everyone ran out of things to say. Only Hibari Hohorohara rested his chin on his hand, seemingly deep in thought.

This gave Wen Shui the opportunity to properly observe this student council president, who could be described as a legendary genius.

Hibari Hobara, the legendary student council president, and a destroyer of objects.

Judging from her appearance alone, she is a tall, elegant beauty with long, wine-red hair and a perpetually confident smile that adds to her charm. Moreover, in the list of the top 50 students released in the second year, former student council president Fang Huyuan has consistently ranked at the top, making her an absolute gifted student.

However, she had several incidents during the entrance ceremony, including holding her speech upside down, tripping over an electrical wire, and falling because she didn't see the edge of the podium, which opened the eyes of many freshmen. At first, some people questioned her abilities because of this, but after a month of her well-organized club management, the students changed their opinion of this student council president.

Unfortunately, recalling the crimson incident that occurred in the student council last Friday, coupled with the fact that the president inadvertently brushed aside his bangs, revealing a band-aid with a cute bear pattern on his forehead...

Kazuhiko Nukumizu decided to keep his impression of Hibari Hokurihara in mind—

This student council president might be a bit slow-witted.

Wen Shui withdrew her gaze and instead looked at the man beside her who appeared to be rather petite—he was probably a boy.

This boy with a neutral, handsome face looks like he should be a member of the student council, but he doesn't often show up in front of the various clubs.

Seemingly noticing Wen Shui's gaze, the boy smiled and nodded at him.

The boy glanced at Hibari Honohara, who was deep in thought, then stood up and sat down next to Wenshui. He nodded, gave a shy smile, and quietly introduced himself to Wenshui: "Nice to meet you. I'm Hiroto Sakurai, a first-year student who is the student council treasurer."

"I am Kazuhiko Onamizu from the Literature Club. Nice to meet you."

"Sister Yun Que has already mentioned this, but I am very grateful to be able to introduce myself again."

The boy named Hiroto Sakurai exudes a sense of weariness, and his androgynous appearance unexpectedly reveals a melancholic charm.

"Um, Sister Yun Que?" Wen Shui was a little bothered by his way of addressing the student council president.

"Yes, the president and I are cousins, and that's how we've addressed each other since then."

Hiroto Sakurai turned to look behind Nukumi and said with a smile, "Nukumi-san seems to have a good relationship with Yumeko-senpai."

Wen Shui paused for a moment, then turned to look at Shikiya-senpai, only to find that Shikiya-senpai had brought her fair and delicate face very close. Those eyes, adorned with white contact lenses, were scrutinizing her closely. Looking down further, she could even glimpse a startling cleavage at the collar of Shikiya's disheveled school uniform.

【What's going on here?!】

Wen Shui quickly looked away, then glanced at Ma Titian Aixing in the distance. She saw that Ma Titian's face was flushed red from the situation. She seemed conflicted, wanting to loudly reprimand the student council president for violating school rules but also afraid of disturbing her thoughts.

Knowing that he couldn't let the misunderstanding deepen, Wen Shui quickly moved aside a little and then explained to Sakurai Hiroto.

"Well, I met my senior last Friday, but we weren't exactly close. It's just that for some reason, she seemed to like getting close to me."

“I see.” Hiroto Sakurai nodded, accepting the explanation: “Yumeko-senpai has always been like this, and Masato has also complained about it. However, Hibari-nee doesn’t seem to care much.”

"Clap."

A slight cracking sound could be heard.

"Ah..." The student council president was startled from her reverie, and she and everyone else focused their attention on her right. There, a teacup with a broken handle for some unknown reason was pitifully bobbing back and forth on the table, tea spilled all over it.

"Sorry, Hiroto, I was thinking about something and the handle of the cup broke as soon as I picked it up..." President Fang Huyuan tried to pick up the remaining cup body, but was greeted with an even louder shattering sound than before.

"Look, Hiroto, I didn't do anything, did I?"

The president looked at the teacup, which had been completely shattered, with great distress.

Hiroto Sakurai, who was sitting next to Wenshui, quietly covered the area around his stomach, then got up and walked towards the student council president: "Hibari-nee, are you hurt? Please don't move around, I'll take care of it."

"Sakurai-kun... has suffered another stomach perforation."

Shikiya Yumeko didn't react much, as if such situations were commonplace in the student council.

After glancing at Sakurai, who was starting to clean up the mess, she turned her attention back to Numizu.

"Warm water..."

"Senior?"

"Our relationship...isn't exactly good?"

She tilted her head, her wavy, light-colored curls falling gently over her shoulders.

Wen Shui knew that her explanation had caused her senior to misunderstand.
