Uneasy daily life

Steady!

The white-clad figure was confident of victory.

"The sports festival will last for three days in total. There are still a few gaps in the schedule of various competitions. We need everyone's active suggestions and discussions to propose some activities that are in line with the students' and Soubu High School's spirit. The most urgent task is to finalize the general process. After that, we can discuss the slogans for the red and white teams, the registration of contestants, and other matters, and proceed steadily in this manner..."

First, flatter the voters and praise them a bit. Second, offer some persuasive suggestions to demonstrate your abilities; in other words, 'If I win the election, here's what I'll do next.'

Finally, discredit your opponent.

According to the theory of relativity, the lower the opponent is, the higher one is; a successful slander is a victory!

"I have experience organizing school trips..."

Next came, "Yukino Yukinoshita, lacking any reputation for virtue, having accomplished nothing, acting alone, alienating others, incapable of overall coordination, how could she possibly manage everything? She is not a good leader! Miura Yumiko, arrogant and easily angered, favoring relatives and friends, biased in her actions, lacking impartiality, disregarding the big picture, only concerned with her own interests, is also not a good leader!"...

The destiny is set, and the divine instrument will choose its master. It is my niece’s turn to take the stage!

The white figure leaned back confidently.

Chitanda Eru set her speech aside, placed her hands on the podium, and excitedly began speaking off-the-cuff, saying sincerely and enthusiastically: "I want to do something, to train myself, to prove myself, and I also want to organize a wonderful and fun sports festival with everyone, so that we can create unforgettable memories. Whether I win the election or not, I will do my best to contribute to the sports festival! I also hope that everyone can enjoy this sports festival and be proud of what they have accomplished!"

"Thank you, that concludes my presentation!"

Full of emotion, sincere and genuine, full of energy, with sparkling big eyes, she has an instant urge to get close to and agree with people.

The executive committee members were very moved, but they were also a little suspicious of their neighbor stealing their axe.

What's interesting, what unforgettable memories...

They instantly calmed down, wondering how much of what they said was actually a fabrication.

……

……

"Don't be so skeptical. If it weren't for your bad advice, Chitanda might have even won the election."

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at the person protesting their innocence and said with a sneer, "Anyway, Yukino Yukinoshita is now the executive committee chairperson, responsible for coordinating all matters of the executive committee. Let's give her a round of applause..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka took the lead and clapped, and the executive committee members who were familiar with her and those who weren't so familiar with her followed suit.

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) was watching from the stage, and Shirokage seemed a little embarrassed—while others were clapping, he was slapping the table.

Hiratsuka Shizuka rolled up her sleeves, preparing to kick out all the irrelevant people from the conference room.

"Some of Bai Jun's suggestions and ideas are quite meaningful and constructive. Would you be interested in helping me with my affairs and becoming a vice chairman?"

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) restrained the urge to cross her arms and asked in a calm tone.

Bai Ying immediately clapped her hands: "Under the chairman's leadership, the sports festival will surely be a resounding success, and that's just around the corner! As the vice chairman, I firmly support the chairman!"

Students: "?"

After much deliberation, I still chose the white figure?!

"Chairman, I have a small, albeit immature, suggestion..."

“My advice is not to offer advice,” Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) said calmly. “Vice Chairperson, you have no right to make suggestions or make opinions, only the right to execute.”

Execution right (×).

Laborers (√)

The chosen scapegoat (√).

Ah, so what? Haven't you heard of Zhao Kuangyin's loyalty, Lü Bu's filial piety, Sima Yi's vow of sincerity, Wang Mang's benevolence, and Li Shimin's gratitude...?

Under the illumination of numerous historical stars, its future is limitless, and opportunities abound everywhere.

A series of brilliant plans began to pop into Bai Ying's mind.

"Hey kid, why aren't you complaining about how unfair it is?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka quipped irritably, "You're just leading the students in a normal sports festival, and half of your energy is being wasted on Shiro."

"Is the teacher dissatisfied with Yukino's election?" Bai Ying frowned. "Yukino is upright, fair, dedicated, highly talented, and a true leader. What makes you dissatisfied?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka: #!

Of all the students he's taught, this one is the most bizarre!

"Ahem, let's leave the small talk for after the meeting. Next, let's discuss the sports festival—Vice Chairman Bai, please take notes."

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) coughed, interrupting the banter between teacher and student, and began to discuss various matters related to the sports festival.

From the overall process to the red and white groups and then to the various work groups, there was indeed a lot to do, and the meeting room temporarily resembled an office worker's workspace.

The white figure was recording the meeting's progress and the sports festival's procedures. Because the handwriting was too unpredictable, Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) checked it and then handed over this important task to Hachiman Hikigaya—"Blackie, you should do my job."

For example, arguing with someone.

"I suggest we hold a group dance competition. It's a successful event at the Seaside Comprehensive High School Sports Festival..."

An executive committee member offered advice.

That's an unreliable suggestion. The sports festival budget isn't that big. It's not enough to buy dance clothes for so many people. It's better not to dance at all than to dance in school uniforms. More importantly, there's the time for group rehearsals. If we agree to this suggestion, then other people's suggestions will have to be pushed to the back of the schedule.

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) had an answer in her heart, but her face showed a thoughtful expression.

"That's too narrow-minded," Bai Ying said seriously. "Why don't we have the whole grade participate and hold a dance battle?"

"With the whole grade participating, the cost of costumes is huge, and the budget simply isn't enough!"

"It's alright, the budget is insufficient. We'll cut costs and increase revenue. We'll issue a notice to collect clothing fees from the students."

"What about time? Dancing training takes time, and if the whole grade participates, there isn't enough time for training in other competitions, especially for those who have signed up for multiple events..."

"It's okay. Time is like water in a sponge. You can always squeeze some out. Just squeeze in physical education class, cooking class, club activities, and after-school time. There's plenty of time."

"I'm sure everyone will object, right?!"

"It's alright. The sports festival is of great importance. I'll help everyone, and everyone will help me. Let's make things difficult for our classmates. I'll take the blame!"

"My suggestion is not well-developed, I retract it."

"No way! Think about it carefully, the chance to hold hands and dance with a girl isn't that often!"

"Dancing is too frivolous and decadent, and it doesn't fit the spirit of passionate competition in the sports festival. I retract my suggestion!"

After a heart-to-heart discussion, the executive committee member who made the suggestion withdrew it and firmly rejected Bai Ying's earnest attempt to persuade him to stay.

It's just a group dance, isn't it?

We won't do it!

"I'd like to add some activities with gaming elements. I heard that a motion-sensing exercise game has recently come out, which allows you to exercise at home. As long as the gaming department has some budget, there are ways to get started. It can both exercise your body and entertain your mind, killing two birds with one stone..."

This was stated by the executive committee member and head of the game department.

“Good strategy, but the budget is insufficient, and the results will be hard to describe.” Bai Ying pointed and said, “Playing games is fine, but you want to work out? Not to mention serious games, more than half of the buyers will not finish them, and there are probably even more people who buy motion-sensing fitness games that will just gather dust. What kind of player is this? Game collectors are more like it.”

"The budget isn't a big problem. If we send the vice chairman, with your eloquence, you might even be able to collect some advertising fees to cover the budget," said the head of the game department. "Whether it's a game or not doesn't matter; the main thing is to showcase a scientific way of exercising in the information age..."

"Good strategy, but I'd like to make a slight modification—how about Sports Monopoly? Change all the grids to simple and effective exercise methods: high knees, push-ups, squats, sit-ups, horse stance, and defeating the white shadow in boxing. You get extra money if you can do it, and you lose money if you can't. The props are also very easy to make. For a rough one, you can just draw the ground with chalk, and for a more refined one, you can use cardboard grids."

"It sounds great and interesting, as long as we eliminate one of the options."

"really."

"Sports tycoons use a selection process, such as screening candidate projects."

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) made the final decision.

Bai Ying immediately said, "Then let me be in charge of this project..."

"You're joking, Mr. Bai. You still have the important responsibility of being the vice chairman. The production of props and detailed procedures for Sports Monopoly will be handled by the Games Department." Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) said calmly. "After all, it wouldn't be good if there were any 'picking nose,' 'having a physical interaction with the nearest player,' or 'making a face' content on the game board in public."

"You actually want to do something so heinous?"

Bai Ying said in surprise, "At most, I just want to write about 'doing a set of eye exercises,' 'doing a set of oral exercises,' and 'doing a set of radio calisthenics.'"

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) pondered for a moment: "This sounds too normal. You should be a little abnormal."

"Help someone do a set of eye exercises."

"Yes, that's more in line with the physiological habits of white fungi."

The executive committee meeting proceeded smoothly amidst laughter and conversation.

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that there was nothing more for her to do.

Putting aside some inappropriate suggestions, Bai Ying is a fairly decent guy. He can act as a vicious dog to scare away others, or as a magnet to attract fire. As long as he doesn't have the opportunity to hold too much power, he's quite efficient at getting things done and can relieve a lot of pressure on Xue Zhi.

She has strong overall planning and work skills, but communicating with people and coordinating relationships is probably her weakness. That kid could be a help in that area.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, with a chocolate bar in her mouth, watched Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) doing her work, talking, and occasionally smiling, then looked at the vice-chairperson next to her, pointing and stirring things around... Tsk, even the chocolate bar in her mouth didn't taste sweet anymore.

Damn it, let it explode!

Hiratsuka Shizuka decided to go outside for a smoke to calm down.

……

……

After the executive committee meeting, the four of them returned to the activity room to continue their hard work in the Service/Assistance Department.

Brewing black tea, reading novels, scrolling through my phone, and staring blankly at the computer—this is my usual routine of slacking off during club activities.

"Hmm?" Yui Yuigahama took a sip of her black tea and casually asked, "Did Koyuki change the tea leaves?"

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai): "I've been trying out a new type of black tea lately."

"He's fickle and easily bored."

Bai Ying was writing a commentary while simultaneously experiencing writer's block.

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) has become numb to her occasional slips of the tongue.

Honing one's acting skills is indeed a tough thing.

The character Yukino Yukinoshita, whom I thought I would play, is taciturn, aloof, and has few expressions. She has a narrow social circle and few friends, making her a role that is about as difficult as that of a popular celebrity.

The actual portrayal of Yukino Yukinoshita: a single title or a slight smile can give away the secret. The interpersonal relationships seem simple, but they are actually extremely close and familiar with each other, requiring a very high level of acting skill.

Even when I'm just making some black tea, I get asked what's going on!

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) occasionally feels the subtle gaze of dead fish eyes...

How's the boy cheerleading team at Baijun doing?

"The situation is not good; we only have two members left." Bai Ying sighed and hinted, "I wonder if anyone with a sister would be willing to offer some help."

Hachiman Hikigaya raised a truce sign: "Captain, you know me. I'm from Class F, the White Team."

Bai Ying said earnestly, "Humans are born free. A fearless and passionate ideal in one's heart is enough to transcend all the positions imposed upon us later in life. This is not betrayal, but true loyalty."

Hachiman Hikigaya: "By the way, who is the other person? Could it be Oreki...?"

boom--!

The door to the activity room was suddenly pulled open.

"The great writer General Yoshiteru has arrived!"

Cai Muzuo Yihui leaped into the activity room from outside the door, exuding confidence, and carrying several books in his hands.

Judging from the revealing nature of the female character on the cover, it is likely a light novel.

"Mr. Zaimu, please knock before you come in."

The cold words, mixed with the wind and snow, swept past in a flash.

Zaimokuza Yoshiteru recalled the tragic events that had occurred in this activity room, turning everything to ashes. He subconsciously straightened up and looked at the person who had spoken... Huh? Why is Yukinoshita's gaze so unthreatening?

"So it's General Yihui." Bai Ying pointed out that someone's acting had been exposed again, then switched back to her own voice and asked enthusiastically, "Are you here to seek guidance? Come, come, present your masterpiece. I'm in a good mood today and will give you a free critique of your work..."

I suspect the minister is trying to relieve stress by criticizing fellow creators because of Calvin.

Hachiman Hikigaya silently complained, citing the blank document on his screen as proof.

"With everyone's encouragement and help, my inspiration flowed freely, and my light novel, which I worked hard to create, has been successfully published. I am now a high school light novel author!"

Yoshiaki Zai said excitedly, "I'm here today to express my gratitude. This is the novel I wrote..."

"Huh? Then I'll have to take a good look at it."

The white figure smiled, its gaze unfathomable, seemingly harboring murderous intent.
