Uneasy daily life

"Persuading others is simple, just like how I persuaded you. If you propose a male cheerleading squad, there will definitely be a clamor of opposition. Don't give your reasons first; let them explain why they object. Then, bring out this logic of 'First, let's define what a cheerleading squad is'... After you've explained it clearly, others will realize that it's not about boys wearing women's clothing, and they will naturally be able to accept boys being cheerleaders to cheer on their children..."

"Oh, okay, I'll take a note." Chitanda Eru took notes diligently and suggested, "Uncle Haku, why don't you go to the meeting too and persuade everyone yourself?"

“That won’t work. It’s against the rules, and I suspect the teacher has some prejudice against me. If I make the suggestion, the others will be rebellious, which will make it harder for the proposal to pass,” Bai Ying said. “Once you’ve convinced everyone to approve the suggestion, then you can nominate me as the cheerleading captain. By then, it’ll be a done deal, and no one will have so many objections…”

Angelina ate her biscuits, listening to the uncle and nephew's secret conversation, her expression gradually becoming somewhat strange—Hmm? Was I just like Bai Ying said? Upon hearing about the boys' cheerleading squad, she assumed Bai Ying was going to do something outrageous. But after Bai Ying's logical reasoning, she realized it wasn't that outrageous, and a boys' cheerleading squad wasn't out of the question. Then she thought, since a boys' cheerleading squad was already here, it wouldn't be a problem for Bai Ying to be the captain and run things around…

Was I scammed?

Angelina looked on with suspicion.

Houtarou Oreki was already preparing to escape to the toilet: "Oh my god..."

"Perfect timing! Let our biggest threat become the number one cheerleader!"

Bai Ying said solemnly, "Our Red Team will overwhelm the White Team in every aspect! The excitement of the Sports Festival is out of eight measures, and the Red Team has one measure to their name, while the White Team is short two measures!"

"No, no," Oreki Houtarou waved his hand, "I'm not interested in this project at all..."

Bai Ying asked in surprise, "Then what are you planning to do?"

Of course, we'll just get through the sports festival.

Houtarou Oreki calmly said, "I want to record the excitement and wonder of the sports festival with my own eyes. If I were actually there, I wouldn't be able to see the whole sports festival."

“Niece.” Bai Ying gave Oreki Houtarou a thumbs-up and said, “Our biggest worry is going to be a reporter for the sports festival. Remember to urge him to write a few observations and reflections on the sports festival. He needs to be vivid, descriptive, and emotionally rich, and at least a thousand words long. He’ll read them aloud on the radio to cheer on our Red Team…”

Chitanda Eru exclaimed in surprise, "Oreki-kun is so motivated? Then..."

"I'll be a cheerleader."

Houtarou Oreki made a decisive choice, then regretted it a little... Which is more energy-efficient, writing manuscripts or being a cheerleader under Shirokage?

"The speed at which you surrendered is quite reminiscent of one of my generals."

Bai Ying leisurely offered a comment.

"..."

Houtarou Oreki picked up a cookie, a realization dawning on him—anything involving the White Shadow was never going to be energy-efficient, just like Chitanda…

……

……

During the first week of school, students were getting back into school mode after summer vacation and began to look forward to the sports festival. Some of the students who were appointed as executive committee members had already started planning the various competition events for the sports festival.

In terms of the power structure, the executive committee will determine all the competition events, including traditional fixed events such as sprints and long-distance running, as well as events proposed by various executive committee members and determined after discussion. At the same time, the duties of referees, scorekeepers, and logistics personnel will be assigned in advance.

Next comes the preparation for each of the red and white teams, such as choosing slogans and selecting and arranging participants.

Next up are the boys and girls waiting for the sports festival to start.

Sigh... In the end, I still got caught and brought here.

In the makeshift meeting room with tables hastily moved together, Hachiman Hikigaya rested his chin on his hand, looking bored, and glanced at Shizuka Hiratsuka sitting on a chair by the door.

Violent teacher! Two major mishaps in my life: one was when I suddenly had a whimsical idea and wrote a random essay, which led to me being targeted by a violent teacher; the other was when I joined the aid department and met the head of the department.

"The executive committee members have all been selected, and each work group has one."

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at the students in the meeting room and asked, "So, who would like to be the executive committee chairperson?"

"Hiratsuka-sensei, what is the executive committee chairman?"

A student raised his hand and asked a question.

"You don't know this? Well, you're only in your first year of high school. In junior high, most things were handled by the teachers..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka pulled out a chocolate bar, put it in her mouth, and didn't seem to have any teacher airs: "Simply put, it's like the student council president. The executive committee president coordinates the entire executive committee, is responsible for statistics, assigns tasks to executive committee members, and arranges all kinds of things, acting as the head."

That sounds pretty impressive, doesn't it?

Some of the overly energetic students were getting restless.

"So that's how it is. Being the first to stick your neck out, bearing the heaviest burden, doing the most work, and getting the loudest criticism—if the sports festival succeeds, you share the success with everyone; if it fails, you bear all the blame alone, standing on the stage bowing and scraping. What a noble spirit of sacrifice and dedication!" a student's voice exclaimed. "As the saying goes, 'Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to those who are destined for them,' but first, everything must go smoothly, they must be as stable as Mount Tai, powerless, and it will be too late to regret. Red Bean Paste, Private Horse... Teacher Da Jing! I am unworthy, but I am willing to dedicate myself to everyone, to take the blame!"

Bai Ying rose from his seat, clasped his hands in a fist salute, displaying the heroic demeanor of someone vying for the leadership of a martial arts tournament.

Sitting next to her, Yukino Yukinoshita glanced up slightly, revealing more of the whites of her eyes.

Click.

Hiratsuka Shizuka bit off the chocolate bar in her mouth, veins bulging on her forehead: "You don't seem to be an executive committee member, do you?"

"According to the law, every citizen has the right to run for office and participate in elections."

The white-clad figure said sternly, "Is the law of one school greater than that of the whole world?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka ate the chocolate bar, stood up abruptly, and clenched her fist.

"Are the laws of the world greater than nature itself?!"

After forcibly driving away the intruder, Hiratsuka Shizuka closed the classroom door, isolating the white figure outside.

“All irrelevant personnel have left.” Hiratsuka Shizuka pulled out a chocolate bar again and started chewing on it. “Who wants to be the executive committee chairperson?”

There was a slight awkward silence.

Hiratsuka Shizuka gave a mischievous grin, coughed, and said, "If no one is willing, then I'll call on someone..."

Hikigaya Hachiman: "!"

Wait, wait! The teacher didn't see me, did she? Right! No, no, no… Hurry up! My carefully cultivated sense of presence, honed over the past decade, vanishes, turning me into a transparent person, silently ignored…

"How many people get scared when they hear that roll call is going to be taken?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka laughed out loud: "Hahaha, you're not children anymore, so I don't need to make arrangements for you. Tomorrow is the weekend. Those who are interested in being the executive committee chairperson, go back and think it over carefully. We'll talk about it at the meeting next week. Today is just for you to get to know each other. I'll also tell you what the executive committee members do—of course, if no one really wants to be the executive committee chairperson, then I, as your teacher, will be your acting chairperson."

After a tense moment followed by a relaxed one, Hiratsuka Shizuka carefully explained the sports festival process to the first-year high school students.

Chairman of the Executive Committee...

Yukino Yukinoshita pondered for a moment. This should be something that could help her develop her skills, right? Developing management and leadership abilities would be helpful for what she wanted to do, but what would be the effect of being the executive committee chairperson? Perhaps she should focus on the work her father assigned her?

Speaking of which, I promised to go home for a day on Sunday to try to run for executive committee chairperson. Could that be a topic of conversation with my mother?

"So that's the general process. Besides the traditional events, you also need to come up with some interesting competition suggestions, discuss and finalize them. Although I feel that you haven't come up with anything yet, let me ask you one question: does anyone have any suggestions?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka twitched the chocolate bar at the corner of her mouth, when suddenly she saw a hand raised: "Chitanda? What's your suggestion?"

"Hiratsuka-sensei."

Chitanda Eru stood up straight, holding several sheets of paper in her hand, and said in a clear and articulate voice, "I propose that the Red Team form a men's cheerleading squad."

pat.

The broken chocolate bar from Hiratsuka Shizuka's mouth fell to the ground, shattering the deathly silence in the conference room.

"I agree!"

Ebina from Class F wholeheartedly agreed, and some girls were eager to try it out.

"I object! Wouldn't a female cheerleading squad be better?"

"Women's cheerleading is women's cheerleading, and men's cheerleading is men's cheerleading; they are completely different things—I support men's cheerleading!"

"I object……"

Some boys were trying to protest, but then they thought about it and asked a question: "Chitanda-san, if this proposal is passed, will male cheerleading team members be required or will it be based on a voluntary principle?"

"Of course, it's based on the principle of voluntariness."

"Then I agree!"

The boy betrayed her.

Logic no longer exists.

Chitanda Eru was a little confused. She looked at the handwritten materials she had prepared... Had she written them all for nothing?

"Wait! Don't you dare mess things up!" Hiratsuka Shizuka slammed her hand on the table. "Those boys who agreed, are you planning to wear skirts to cheer them on?!"

Logic is back.

Chitanda Eru immediately chimed in, "First, let's define what a cheerleader is..."

Yukino's brow twitched slightly.

White! Fungus!

……

……

"Pfft, hahahaha—! That's exactly the kind of thing that guy would do. Xiaojing must be so angry she's turned pale, right?"

Yukinoshita Haruno sat on the sofa with her legs bent, rolling around laughing.

"Chitanda is very serious."

Yukino Yukinoshita recalled the situation at the time and said subtly, "They discussed a strange suggestion in a very methodical and logical manner. Hiratsuka-sensei couldn't refute it. She probably intended to stall for time, but it was still voted on and approved..."

“Chitanda…” Yukinoshita Haruno thought for a moment, “Shizuka is probably driven crazy by that kid, hahaha, I’ll call her later and tease her.”

"Did you come to my place just to hear these kinds of things?"

Yukino asked softly beneath the snow.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I don't have the same good opportunity as Yukino-chan to spend time with that jerk at school." Yukinoshita Haruno waved her hand with a smile. "This is fine. When we go on our date later, we'll have something to talk about."

Dating?

Yukino Yukinoshita asked with slight suspicion, "Where are you going?"

"It's not confirmed yet." Yukino took out her phone. "I'll discuss it with that jerk..."

"?" Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback, and glared at her sister with annoyance, thinking that she was being deliberately teased by her again!

"Discussion might not be necessary; it might rain soon anyway..."

Boom!

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a muffled clap of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

Yukino Yukinoshita shuddered unexpectedly, meeting Haruno Yukinoshita's subtle gaze.

"...Word magic?"

"coincide."

"That's right, Yukino-chan was so scared she was trembling like a kitten..."

"elder sister!"

written request for leave

My head is spinning. Although I have an outline, I have no idea how to write it in an interesting way. I guess I still can't stay up all night. I was sick and lay in bed for several days, feeling dizzy and then I felt a bit too lazy to get up... So I won't be updating today. I'm taking a day off to go to bed early and adjust my condition. I'll try to get back to my regular double-update schedule in the last few days of May. I'm going to sleep now. My lazy life is more important. Peace be with you.

Chapter Ten: Don't Waste Your Advantages

The summer heat had not yet subsided, and summer's temper had not dissipated; a heavy rain came without warning.

Dark clouds pressed down from the sky, turning day into night, and a torrential downpour began in an instant, washing everything on the ground.

The heavy rain did not bring coolness; closing the windows to avoid the rain only made the room feel stuffy, making it difficult to turn on the air conditioner or fan, yet still not feeling comfortable.

Boom!

The thunder roared in terror, and the rain fell heavily like a curtain.

"Your sister knows too?"

Yukino Yukinoshita tried to distract herself by talking about something.

"Know what?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked with a smile.

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita silently looked at the other person for a few seconds, trying to break through the disguise with her silent gaze.

The gaze failed to penetrate the enemy's skin.jpg

"About... superpowers? Well, something that's beyond common sense."

Another side of Bai Jun.
