I have triggered your painful choices, so your choices, your pain, will be borne by me for you. I understood what Isshiki meant, as she said, because she knew the pain, so she wouldn't be so cruel to other people.

I have no reason to refuse her. In this case, I don't have enough self-confidence to restrain myself, I don't have enough self-confidence to be able to stand firm in my beliefs all the time, so I need a bystander to make me sober. As long as she can play the role of a warning, it will be enough, and of course, I believe that the current Isshiki has this ability, and she can do it too.

The key question is whether she will act beyond her own boundaries.

I looked into Isshiki's eyes, and I didn't know if she had this in mind, but I chose to trust her.

I should give more trust to other people.

So, I took the hand that reached out to me.

"Thank you. ”

"So, how many times have we worked together?" said Ichiseki, tilting his head and smiling.

"Who knows?"

"However, Kazuya is at the level of the protected, and I am at the level of the helper, this is the first time!"

"Won't it affect your student council president?

"If I help you, you'll be hesitant to help the seniors under the snow, right?"

I don't know if I should tell Isshiki or not, but I'm ready to give up on supporting the status quo under the snow.

Of course, the last choice is to keep this fact, and I don't want her to have the illusion that Yubihama Kazuya finally gave up under the snow to thank her for the help she has given now.

Isshiki likes the current process of taking the initiative to help, so don't let her feel that this help is imperfect, and don't fall into an endless cycle of "mutual indebtedness".

"If possible, I think you can expect more. I said so.

"Looking forward to it, more?" Isshiki's expression was a little complicated.

I think she should understand what I'm thinking.

"Historically, Kazuya, the more people you expect often don't end well!" she said self-deprecatingly.

"Would you believe it if I said it was accidental?"

"Well, then I'll just believe you - after all, Kazuya is still a person who doesn't know how to lie!"

"So," I stretched out my hand to Isshiki again, this time, on my own initiative, "this time, Isshiki-san, please advise." ”

"I'm honored. ”

Smash the relationship that has been frozen at one end, and then, lead to a new future.

-------------------------------- Dividing Line------------------------------------

Of course, although the plan is basically formulated, the actions taken should not be too radical, and it is absolutely radical to use a solution like Hikiya. But I'll admit that there's a part of me at the heart of it — if I could, I'd like to be able to think of other ways before adopting this solution.

Isshiki was clearly aware of my idea, so she didn't urge me to implement it, but continued to prepare for her own student council election.

This time the cooperation is more cautious than before, because the previous too close relationship led to the consequences of the entanglement later, so the two of us are very tacit to keep our distance, only discuss the issues we should discuss, and do not communicate too much in other aspects.

So, as if I wanted to fill the gap for this period of time, I received the task of stepping down from the position of student council.

"Originally, it was more appropriate for the student council to send someone to go, or to let the classmates go under the snow than for you to go. However, considering that this is a sensitive period for the presidential election, if you send someone related to the presidential election, it will definitely give people a tendency to 'who am I supporting'. So after thinking about these things, I feel that it is still troublesome for you to run by Bihama-san. In fact, there is nothing to do, and the cooperation at the school level is already a matter of discussion by the board of directors, and this time it is only a discussion on the formation of a fixed communication mechanism between the student unions of the two schools. Since this is a preliminary discussion, only the intention is required. ”

I couldn't complain, "If it's just such a simple problem, it can be solved with just a phone call in this society where the means of communication are developed," and I couldn't say anything like "I just dumped the student council secretary on the other side," and finally, as always happens when the president of Joyatsu convinces people, I was somehow persuaded and came to the door of the student council office of the familiar Kiyosen Middle School.

Compared with the busy preparation for the cultural festival before, the heads of the various clubs in and out of the student union office have been much less, after all, at this stage, the work of the student union is mainly to change shifts. As a middle school, the student council of Qingquan Middle School generally adopts an internal shift system, and there is no fanfare and election farce.

I don't know if it should be considered lucky or unlucky, Koharu didn't show up in the office, and the one who stayed on duty in the student union office was another student council member I was relatively familiar with, Vice President Sonoda Haiwei, sitting at his desk and carefully sorting out the documents, under the backdrop of the cold and deserted atmosphere, at first glance it made people feel a little pity.

However, this situation does make people agree with the chairman of Joya's assessment that "this matter is irrelevant".

However, I don't know if it was because it was too lonely, but after I walked into the office, Vice President Sonoda ignored me and continued to work on the documents in his hand.

Until I coughed softly.

"Actually, Sugiura-senpai was still here before. Then she replied to me.

- The subtext is that I left because I knew that you were coming. There should also be a limit to the admiration of one's predecessors!

"Koharu, well, if Secretary Sugiura's absence doesn't affect our deliberations, I'm actually okay with that. ”

"Isn't Yubihama-senpai untouched?"

"So, according to you, what should I be touched, or, if so, what do you want my touch to be?"

To be honest, I'm a little tired of this girl having to struggle with this matter every time she sees me, I really don't believe that a girl can be obsessed with her seniors to this extent, if you like her, forget it, I don't care about this behavior, but, for the love of my seniors has been making a big fuss, it's not necessary, isn't it?

"At the very least, give Sugiura-senpai a chance. ”

"This kind of illusory opportunity is the most dangerous, and Koharu left because she understood this, why should you worry about her about this?"

"But—"

"-Please note, Vice President Sonoda, I am here to discuss work with you, and it is better for you to communicate with your friends about the awkward ideas of girls. ”

"I know!" Sonoda glared at me angrily as if he had blown up, "Does Yubihama-senpai really think I'm some kind of stupid person who doesn't understand anything?"

"At least in this respect, I think you're a lot worse than your predecessors. ”

"So, what about Yubihama-senpai?"

"Well, what are you referring to?"

"After the last meeting, I deliberately inquired about the situation of the general Wu Gao. Holding her head high, she said solemnly with a small pride that her juniors showed off their abilities to their seniors.

This guy, if she can spend her time doing these boring things at work, her seniors must be more gratified, right?

"If Yuhihama-senpai thinks my way of dealing with problems is terrible, then what about Yuhihama-senpai himself? According to what my senior told me before and what I understand, that Kogi Yukina-senpai should be the object of Yuhihama-senpai's confession, right?" On the same day, a second person in a row revealed the problem to me in this naked way.

"Since Yubihama-senpai has already rejected Sugiura-senpai's words so decisively as you said, why hasn't you responded to Kogi-senpai's favorability for a long time?"

"I'm about to respond. ”

"Really?" Sonoda's expression was visibly stunned, but she quickly picked herself up and continued to ask, "So, what's the response?"

However, it was this question that hit me in the dead end.

The complex situation she is facing cannot be explained to her in a short period of time.

"If Yuhihama-senpai's idea is to refuse, then why can't Sugiura-senpai be given a chance?" Then, the question of the pursuit of the victory was thrown as a matter of course.

It's really a tough girl!

"My problem with Koharu is between us, but I think there's another question I'm more curious about for me, and that's why you're so concerned about me and Koharu. In the beginning, you were simply fighting for your senior sister, which I can understand, but now, do you know what Koharu thinks? Do you do it without knowing what she thinks, are you thinking about her, or are you doing it for your own self-satisfaction?"

That's right, I can feel that although the girl in front of me, her every word is paying attention to "Sugiura-senpai", but "Sugiura-senpai" has become more and more her umbrella, and all her problems are not so much helping Koharu as simply questioning me, and Koharu is just an object she is questioning me.

Obviously helped this child solve many problems, but she didn't appreciate it enough!

The righteous and stern expression was stunned, this time, Sonoda did not continue to ask as strongly as he did just now. She just stared at me blankly.

I don't think even she herself has thought about it. She may really think that she is defending Koharu.

After all, I'm just a middle school student, and while I'm doing things, I haven't deeply analyzed my heart!

However, at least she didn't force herself to quibble, which was remarkable enough compared to before.

Looking at Sonoda's somewhat embarrassed, even overwhelmed expression and suddenly flushed face, the original dissatisfaction dissipated a lot—after all, juniors have a natural privilege to be forgiven over their seniors.

"Can we talk about work?" I tried to put on a kind face and pulled the conversation back.

"Hmm. Softly agreed, like a little sheep, Sonoda lowered his head.

So, isn't it okay to do this a long time ago?

I don't know how to start the title, but everyone must be able to understand that the characters who have been hidden before this time are not without reason, and then take a look at my PS in the second chapter of this volume, and I am slowly closing the two big pits in this volume - so you can imagine the tax evasion expression I am now showing for the upcoming expensive plot (laughs).
