In the café, Vice President Sonoda and I looked at each other, in fact, we've been looking at each other like this for a long time.

Looking at the other party's somewhat reddened face, and the way he grabbed the handle of the coffee cup and didn't let go, I suddenly felt some inexplicable guilt in my heart.

For Vice President Sonoda, who abides by etiquette and strictly follows the rules, it may be too stressful to meet alone in a café with a boy he doesn't know well, which can be understood as a "date" in a sense. It was with this in mind that I suggested that she could bring a few of her friends with me—but the other party rejected my proposal with a firm objection that "Honogo has nothing to do with this, so there is no need to bother them".

Then, there is the current situation - your highly nervous appearance makes me not even know how to negotiate with you, obviously it is a very simple matter, isn't it?

"Hey, Sonoda-san, if you continue like this, I think it would be better for me to go directly to Chairman Kimura. "I'm not good at placating people, so knocking on the table and using a kind of agitation might have a better effect.

"No need, Kimura-senpai is too busy, and her identity is too sensitive to do these things, just leave it to me, didn't Yubihama-senpai also look for me with this in mind?"

"Yes, I took that into account, but I didn't think you would be so nervous now, less than two weeks ago, you were a person who could show your teeth and claws to me in public, why can't you even talk now? ”

"Of course I know.,Didn't Yubihama-senpai say that he always has a bad attitude towards you, and it's not upbringing.,I think what you said makes sense.,So,So-"

"—So you become delicate and don't speak? Are you very good at beauty?"

"That's not the case! the reason is complicated," Eventually, Vice President Sonoda yelled out as if explosively, "All in all, I'll adjust, now, Yuhihama-senpai, you can tell me about Sugiura-senpai's help, you want me to do something for you, right?"

I shrugged my shoulders as I looked at Vice President Sonoda, who was panting and masochistically pouring an entire cup of coffee into his mouth, and since this guy who had always been so serious said that, I could only trust her to do it.

"As you said, Vice President Sonoda, I will help Koharu, and part of the reason for these slanderous words about her is also related to me, so it is not unreasonable for me to help solve it. ”

"Being able to say these words barely proves that you are still a responsible boy. ”

"Whether I'm responsible or irresponsible, of course, it's not up to you to judge, that's it. ”

"So, what did Yuhihama-senpai ask me to do?" I have to say, Vice President Sonoda was really surprised by the speed of self-adjustment after expressing her attitude of adjustment, and now, she can talk to me in a serious tone.

"Quite simply, now my request is to continue to let the rumors go unchecked. The current rumor may only be at the level of a small group of people's doubts, but to solve this rumor, we must catalyze it, expand it, and let it develop to the point where the student council must come forward to give an explanation. ”

"Are you kidding? Do you want to help Sugiura-senpai now, or do you want to make Sugiura-senpai more dangerous when she is in crisis?"

"Although I also expected this reaction from you, I am ready to explain. However, I still hope that you can pay attention to your own image in public!" I said helplessly, pointing to the eyes of the people around us who were looking at us because of Vice President Sonoda's excited words.

"Got it, got it!" Just like two weeks ago, he found that his excited expression was inhumanely watched by other people, and Vice President Sonoda blushed, but now, she can only sit down staggeringly, and she can't run away in anger, to some extent, this is also a shameful play.

It was difficult to convince Minister Sonoda to accept my plan, but it was not impossible. After all, this way of magnifying the problem before solving it is a very dangerous way. But I had no choice, after all, I couldn't be too involved in this matter, so I could only find the right time to break through and solve the conflict when it completely broke out - the core time to solve this contradiction was when the student union official came forward and confronted the doubters head-on.

In that kind of head-on confrontation, the doubters who were previously hidden on the dark side will also be forced to appear in front of the stage, and there will be Asada inside, and maybe there will be other people we don't know who don't like the members of the student council of Kiyosen Middle School, and at that time, if they are defeated with irrefutable facts, then the rumors will naturally be shattered.

Koharu and the members of the Kiyosen Middle School Student Council have been passive in this rumor battle, and this is because they play the dual role of the referee and the defendant, and it is impossible for humans to trust the words and means of the defendant who plays such a dual role. However, if the position of the referee is given to everyone, then it can make the student union less constrained and confront the rumors head-on. Of course, out of distrust of power, the student union may not get more trust, at this time, as a party to tell everyone the facts, the problem will be solved.

In contrast, without letting the contradictions be completely exposed, even if the rumors can be resolved by some small means now, as long as the people who are dissatisfied with Koharu are not exposed, they can create a second or third rumor. When the time comes, the student council that is tired of solving it can only pull Koharu out as a scapegoat to solve the problem.

In the final analysis, students are still simple, and students will play some intrigues and tricks among themselves, but the vast majority of people still prefer to solve problems in a bright and proper way at the last moment.

Of course, this kind of plan with a certain amount of risk, if she discussed it with the student president Kimura, she may not agree, and her position can only require that the choice she makes is the one with the lowest risk. However, Vice President Sonoda, who is bent on helping to solve Koharu's problem completely and standing in a position that is not high enough, still has a chance to agree to this plan.

Therefore, despite hesitating for a long time, Vice President Sonoda agreed with me, and she didn't have a lot to do, so it was okay to raise objections and delay time when Chairman Kimura decided to control the rumors, and not to do her best to implement the decision, so that the speed of rumors did not slow down. Of course, it is also important to tell me the time of the final student council inquiry meeting.

--------------------------- dividing line----------------------------

Without deliberate suppression, the spread of unpleasant rumors is always very fast. When the ministry began to discuss the scandal in the student council of Kiyosen Middle School, I knew that the time for a final response was approaching.

The topic is rarely provoked first by under the snow.

"The last few times I have been in contact, Qingquan Middle School has been a little unenthusiastic, because they are too busy with things on their own side?" This is what I said under the snow the day after a routine contact.

It may sound like a topic of small talk to everyone under the snow, but the meaning of these words when I say them as I walk in the door is so rich.

"Anyway, the student council always has to face these problems, and if the students don't question the student council, then the school is not saved. ”

"You mean that the General Martial Arts High School Student Union is out of order, is that so?" said with a faint smile on his face under the snow.

"Now, this is your own understanding, minister, and if the mayor of the castle is angry at that time, you must not blame me. ”

"However, it seems that the person who made the student council over there anxious has something to do with you, Senior Yubihama - then again, you wanted to take a leave of absence to solve the problem last time, was it just for this matter?"

"So what? Minister Xuexia, who rejected my request for leave at the time, now wants to be a good person and let me go to solve the problem? Thank you, but no need. ”

"Sa, is that so? Of course, I don't really have that idea, so how does Yubihama-senpai think I'm going to be reassuring of a guy like you who might cause damage to society if he lets it go?"

"I'm really sorry for the hope that you might have that moment of tenderness!"

"Well, in fact, I will also have a moment of tenderness, but the object is not you. ”

Having said that, I still vaguely remember my sister mentioning that Bikiya said something about what has changed under the snow when she came back this time. Although I suddenly felt that there was something different under the snow when we met for the first time, but then again, is this really still an illusion? A poisonous tongue who is not gentle with people, to be exact, under the snow, is really the original minister!

"However, according to what Xiaohe said just now, you don't need to let Xiaoxue give you a chance to ask for leave, what does Xiaohe mean, have you already thought of other ways to help Xiaochun-chan?" In the crowd, sure enough, only my sister was the kindest person, and she keenly grasped the message revealed in my words - Sister Yui will always be particularly sensitive in these magical places.

"That's right. I nodded.

"In the end, it's not in that violent way, do you? You seem to be the norm for you to deal with problems?"

——This sentence was said by Hikiya, who has been silent all along.

I didn't ignore Hikiya's existence - but that was because Hikiya Hachiman was the only boy in the classroom besides me - even though there were only four people in the club.

Although I know that Bikiya has a keen sense of observation and his own unique thinking logic, this still can't change the fact that his presence is too weak - especially after I started to talk to Yukiya in a routine way, and Yukiya seems to be the main spearhead of ridicule only aimed at me, which makes Bikigu's presence even more meager because of this.

- Although it is necessary to use the poisonous tongue under the snow to increase the sense of existence, the one who seems to be more pitiful than Qigu back then.

However, he will still show up at such unexpected times, speak, and then, see through the essence of things at a glance.

"I'm going to take a soft approach, it's just that it's easier to solve that problem in a violent way - besides, I don't want to be hit by someone like Bikiya-senpai who solves all problems with shady and self-degrading means!"

"Obviously, when I was operating the rumor problem myself, I pointed out that using violent means to suppress the rumor problem is the worst way to solve the rumor problem?"

But in the right circumstances, moderate, irrefutable violence, is also the best way to solve the problem. ”

"Yubihama, are you a little too confident?" Hikiya said a little more today—like the last time the two of us had such a heated conversation, he talked a lot, just like today.

It's like the kind of thing you insist on, the feeling you feel when you're impacted.

"I'm not confident, I'm humble, because I am humble, so I know the shortcomings, and because I know the shortcomings, I can make the right key changes. A truly confident person will not feel that he has any shortcomings, even if he perceives something wrong, he must let himself persevere—a truly confident person has no way back. ”

When I said this, I didn't look under the snow, but I knew that under the snow would understand what I meant.

Although I was a little embarrassed by the so-called "responsible" remarks made me feel at that time, since I agreed, there was no problem in slapping the minister at the right time.

Biqigu didn't go on.

Actually, I know that Hikiya Hachiman and Yukishita are the same people, and they are both paranoid about their own ideas, believing that their attitude towards the world is the most correct. The so-called "truly confident person" is not talking about me, but about Biqigu himself.

However, self-confidence is like snow under the snow, and there will be a crack in her worldview, will Hikiya Hachiman be able to persevere?

Human beings are always blinded, especially by what they don't know, and I already knew when Hikiya questioned me that Hikiya Hachiman was just a self-constructed idealist.

-----------------------------PS------------------------------

To tell the truth, this chapter is not very well written, mainly because the plot of the sports festival and the cultural festival has to brush out the presence of the great teacher, so I still have to show the protagonist's attitude towards everyone at this time. (So Yubihama Kazuya you really don't think you're arrogant?)
