But there was no need for Matsueda Azusa to remind them. Attacking one side and winning over the other would cause them to fight among themselves. If both sides cursed the same thing, it might make them share a common hatred for the enemy, and that would defeat his purpose.

Miura Yumiko couldn't help but retreat strategically: "You guys really want the world to be in chaos. One day, Sobu High School will be destroyed by your hands."

Matsueda Azusa threw up his hands innocently. "What are you talking about? Did I attack him? Not at all. I just repeated what he did. How can you call that wanting chaos? It's obviously him who has the problem."

"Look what you said."

Miura Yumiko rolled her eyes secretly and grumbled in a low voice, "With your nitpicking, you'd find a ton of faults in anyone. Do you think you do everything perfectly, without any flaws?"

"That's impossible. But so what."

Matsueda Azusa replied as a matter of course: "So you still don't understand one thing. They care whether Tamaki Shintaro has done something wrong or has thought something wrong because they like him. So if he does something wrong, they will be disappointed. If his love or affection for them is mixed with impurities, then of course they will not be able to accept it."

"On the other hand, no one likes me. So what if I make a lot of mistakes? Who cares? At most, those who hate me will care. But it's obvious that I don't care whether they care or not."

Miura Yumiko understood what Matsueda Azusa meant and was immediately speechless. "What an invincible, rotten-person way of thinking. As long as no one likes you, no one will care how rotten you are, right? Now that's a three-dimensional mobile defense. Oh my god, you really are invincible."

Hikigaya Hachiman, who had been hiding at the back to lower his presence, actually felt that what he said made some sense, and was even somewhat similar to some of his own ideas: There would be no disappointment without expectations, and there would be no hurt without ties.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. It makes sense that they could become friends. But while they are similar, they are still very different.

Hikigaya Hachiman fully understood that Matsueda Azusa had suffered a major failure in his pursuit of beautiful real things, so he simply made a 180-degree turn and devoted himself to presenting the most rotten and ugliest side of the real things.

Don't worry about whether it's rotten or not, just tell me whether it's true or not.

That's a bit too extreme, huh?

This kind of extreme guy is usually either a villain boss in a comic, or the kind of jerk that everyone would yell at, "Fuck! Hit him! Fuck! Hit him!"

Matsueda Azusa cheerfully spread his hands towards Miura Yumiko, "Of course. If I weren't invincible, how could I possibly trade one for one with you? As long as my bottom line is low enough, even if I explode with you every time, it won't cause any harm to me."

For some reason, Hikigaya Hachiman cast a look of pity towards Matsueda Azusa.

Meanwhile, Tamaki Shintaro was left speechless by Tsukinoki Koto's question. He racked his brains for a long time before stammering, "Because... because we only brought him in to make up the numbers, and he hasn't shown any desire to participate in club activities. So, isn't it normal for me not to pay attention to him? Compared to someone who doesn't take the initiative, I'm definitely more inclined to pay more attention to Komari-san who takes the initiative to participate in club activities. Is there anything wrong with that?"

At this point, he seemed to be more convinced, and said with certainty, "Besides, Gudu, as the vice president, aren't you just like me, not paying any attention to Wenshui-san? We actually have the same mentality, right? This shows that all normal people are like this. It's not that I'm deliberately favoring Xiaoju-san over Xiaoju-san because she's a cute girl."

Songzhi Zi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help shaking his head.

You're still anxious, Tamaki-senpai.

If I were to just use the previous paragraph as an explanation, Tsuki no Kikuto might even believe it due to his high favorability towards you. After all, there is some truth to it.

But you brought the war to her.

If you're in an argument, there's nothing wrong with slandering the other person, but remember that you're trying to explain to them that you didn't do anything wrong.

You are naturally in a weak position. Not only do you not want to defend yourself, but you also turn the tables and blame the other party?

No matter whether what you said makes sense or not, everything is over.

Humans are such emotional and irrational creatures, especially when it comes to those in an emotional relationship.

As expected, it was just as Songzhi Zi had expected.

As soon as Shintaro Tamaki said this, Tsukinoki Koto's face instantly turned cold.

"Bad! The lowest!"

After saying these words with disgust, Tsuki no Kōdō left Tamaki Shintaro without hesitation and left the literature club without looking back.

Shintaro Tamaki looked at Tsukinoki Koto's departing back in a daze and bewilderment. He had no idea why this happened. He clearly thought that his explanation made a lot of sense.

"Tamagi-senpai..."

Even Komari Chikawa changed the way she addressed him, "Now is not the time to shirk responsibility, right? How can you blame Tsuki no Ki-senpai for being at fault too!"

"No, I don't have any?"

Tamaki Shintaro was at a loss, "I didn't blame her? Didn't I explain that I didn't have any bad intentions in doing this?"

"puff"

Songzhi Zi couldn't help laughing.

Senior Tamaki, although you are set up as the male protagonist of a youth romance drama in the literature club, but in this aspect... you still need to practice and learn.

Hearing Matsueda Azusa's laughter, Tamaki Shintaro finally stopped talking and said frantically, "What on earth are you doing here?! Aren't you here to abolish the Literature and Art Club? Why are you saying all this nonsense?"

"Who said I came to destroy the department?"

Matsueda Azusa looked innocent. "I'm not a member of the student council, so where do I get this power? The one who came to carry out the club disbanding procedure was this Shikiya-senpai, you all know her. I just brought my club members here for fun. I had no intention of doing anything else. It was you who had to jump out and point fingers at me, so I had no choice but to fight back. And now you're blaming me?"

Shintaro Tamaki held his head in his hands and collapsed - it was bad. At the beginning, Matsueda Azusa really had no intention of doing anything. It was he who jumped out to seek justice for Komari Chika and provoked Matsueda Azusa first.

This guy Matsueda Azusa is absolutely disgusting. If you leave him there and don't care, he will pollute the air and ruin the atmosphere. If you take care of him, you will only get yourself into trouble.

Tamaki Shintaro was on the verge of tears, and finally asked, "So why did you come here to have fun? Did I offend you in some way?"

Songzhi Zi nodded as if it was a matter of course. "You asked me for a member instead of coming in person. Who are you, and who am I? Since you don't respect me so much, I come to watch you have fun. What's wrong with that? It's called giving a peach and getting a plum in return."

Miura Yumiko couldn't help but complain: "That's not how the saying is used!"

52. Responsible for both killing and burying

"Just for this?"

Shintaro Tamaki tried to sit down dejectedly, but forgot that he had accidentally knocked over the chair before, and ended up sitting straight on the ground and stumbling.

"Isn't this serious? That's why I can't reason with people like you."

Matsueda Azusa swung his hands. "Speechless. Typical modern thinking. Looking down on the pathetic pride of us, the dark underbelly guys on campus, right?"

"........."

Shintaro Tamaki was speechless.

No, buddy, now that you’ve said that, what else can I say?

Shikiya Yumeko staggered forward and asked, "Have you resolved... everything between you two?"

Matsueda Azusa tilted his head and thought for a moment: "That should be the case. I don't necessarily want to kill them all. After all, I'm not a demon."

Shintaro Tamaki got up from the ground and said with a wry smile: "Is there anything left for me that can be solved?"

Yumeko Shikiya pulled out a paper document from her bag and placed it on the table in front of Shintaro Tamaki. "Yes, there's also your Literature Club. Now let's follow the procedure to disband the club. Please sign it."

Shintaro Tamaki was hit hard again, his face turned pale, and he reached out for the pen tremblingly and signed his name on the paper helplessly.

Xiaoju Zhihua sat alone in the corner, with a blank and helpless look in her eyes.

The Literature and Art Department was abolished, and she had no place to stay.

Shintaro Tamaki and Koto Tsukinoki also had a conflict, and he probably didn't have the extra energy to care about what happened to her. The originally warm and harmonious "home" was gone forever.

How could the Arts and Literature Club, which was originally doing well, fall apart in the blink of an eye?

Although she wanted to blame Matsueda Azusa for this, she realized the Literature Club had been disbanded due to a lack of members. After receiving the Student Council's warning, Tamaki Shintaro and the others hadn't done enough to find new members. As for Matsueda Azusa... he had simply made the Literature Club's end far more embarrassing than expected.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Songzhi Zi clapped his hands and said, "Finally you're here. You're really late. Please come in."

The others looked at Matsueda Azusa in confusion, wondering what tricks he was playing.

Miura Yumiko elbowed Matsueda Azusa: "You even called someone over? Isn't this matter over?"

Soon, the door was pushed open, revealing Yukinoshita Yukino behind the door.

She glanced around the Arts Club and felt the atmosphere was a bit strange. She couldn't figure out what was going on. "So, can you tell me now what's going on that you called me to the Arts Club, Matsueda-san?"

"Clam?"

Miura Yumiko looked at Yukinoshita Yukino in surprise: "Why did you call this guy here?"

"Don't be in a hurry."

Matsueda Azusa gestured to Miura Yumiko to calm down, then said to Yukinoshita Yukino, "What a pity! If you had come earlier, you could have watched the show live. But you've come at the perfect time."

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly: "Stop keeping me in suspense."

"Okay, okay, why are you all so impatient?"

Matsueda Azusa shrugged and pointed at Komari Chika: "Yukinoshita-san, aren't you the head of the Servant Club? Then I have a favor to ask of you. The Arts Club is about to disband. The president and vice-president, who are about to go on to higher education, don't worry about that. But as for this Komari member who's left behind... well, please help her deal with the psychological trauma and find her a place to stay if you can."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Matsueda Azusa in shock, including Chika Komari and Shintaro Tamaki.

"What are you doing?! Why are you looking at me like that?"

Matsueda Azusa crossed his arms, "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Miura Yumiko was like seeing a ghost: "You are not Matsueda Azusa, who are you?!"

"Look at what you said. I can't just kill and bury the dead, right?"

Matsueda Azusa turned his face away. "Once the Art Club is disbanded, the two quarreling people won't have much to do with each other. They'll sort it out among themselves and reconcile later. But what if this young comrade gets so upset that he flies into the air and turns into spring mud to protect the flowers? Wouldn't that be my fault?"

"Who, who can fly in the air?"

When these words were spoken, even Xiaoju Zhihua couldn't help but complain.

But she did feel that... after the arts club was disbanded, her campus life would probably become lonely again, which would be very difficult.

But jumping off a building because he couldn't bear the loss... is really unlikely... right? Maybe?

Shikiya Yumeko tilted her head, thought for a moment, and nodded affirmatively. "Paying attention to the mental health of members of abolished clubs? This is indeed worth noting... The student council did overlook this before. This is a good idea, Matsueda."

"I, I don't want your help!"

Unexpectedly, even the senior students in the student union approved of it. Xiaoju Zhihua quickly stood up and mustered up the courage to refuse.

She didn't want to be helped by the devil Song Zhizi! This kind of charity was totally unnecessary!

It would always feel super weird if I accepted his help.

"I know, so it's not me who's helping you. You've found someone else."

Matsueda Azusa looked as if he had expected this to happen.

Xiaoju Zhihua was choked by Matsueda Azusa's answer, but still retorted: "Your accomplices are the same!"

Yukinoshita Yukino defended herself calmly, "I'm not his accomplice."

Miura Yumiko snorted coldly: "She is definitely not his accomplice."

Songzhi Zi was happy: "Ah, right, right, she is not, you are."

Miura Yumiko rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm not kidding!"

Seeing that Songzhi Zi didn't seem to take her words seriously, Xiaoju Zhihua simply threw the jar and said, "I don't want your charity! You destroyed everything I have, and you still pretend to help me. Who do you think I am?"

Matsueda Azusa, however, remained unperturbed. He spoke slowly, "First of all, I'm not the one responsible for the Literature Club's disbanding. It's a simple truth: your fourth person doesn't necessarily have to be Onui Kazuhiko. If Tamaki-senpai or Tsuki-senpai had taken this matter even a little seriously, and had found a friend to help out instead of sending you to me for Onui, they would have been able to overcome this difficult situation."

"Either they simply don't care about this, or they don't really think the Student Union is serious about abolishing the Arts Club. In short, no matter what the situation is, it's not my fault. They asked for it."

"Secondly, I'm not pretending to help you. Believe it or not, if I were being insincere, there would be no need to ask Yukinoshita-san to come and help. You've all heard of the famous Yukinoshita Yukino, right?"

At this point, Songzhi Zi shrugged and touched his chin. "But I've always respected other people's opinions. If you really don't want to accept help, that's fine with me. But if that's the case, it would be best if we signed a waiver agreement stating that if you ever can't handle flying anymore, it has nothing to do with me. That way, I won't be blamed for it and end up getting ripped off for no reason."

Xiaoju Zhihua stomped her feet and said, "Who would commit suicide? I wouldn't do such a thing!"

"What's the point of just talking? Signing an agreement is the safest option."

Matsueda Azusa was quite calm: "After all, if you do this, you'll be living a life without friends, with nowhere to stay during breaks. You'll have to eat lunch in a dark, deserted stairwell—because there's a 'No Eating Here' sign in the bathroom—and you might not even talk to anyone the entire day. You'll most likely become the target of school bullies... That's the kind of life you'll live."

Hikigaya Hachiman was sweating. It was fine if he was just threatening the little girl, but why did he use his real life experience as an example?!

It seems that he didn't fly in the air, and his mental endurance is really strong enough.

"Alas!!"

Xiaoju Zhihua was frightened by Matsueda Azusa, and took a step back trembling, suddenly losing all her courage.

"Xiaoju-san...ah..."

The dejected Tamaki Shintaro spoke up at this moment: "Accept his help... This is a blessing in disguise. If you were to experience such a campus life after the disbandment of the literature club, Koto would also be worried... So, after all..."

“…Isn’t there anyone who asks for my opinion?”

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned: "I haven't agreed yet."

"You can't do it, can you?"

Matsueda Azusa tactically retreated: "You said before that you could be my psychological counselor. Was it just empty talk?"
