When it comes to explaining why something happened, people always like to blame it on a certain inevitability. Someone has the motivation to do something, someone has the ability to do something, so the other person must take the only action in the end. This kind of rational predictive analysis is popular because everyone is reluctant to admit that many times, they are faced with situations that can actually be avoided.

However, we can find that this explanatory analysis of events often arises after the fact, and in the prediction before the event, no one can predict the outbreak of a certain event, and it is difficult to predict the subsequent outcome of an event after its outbreak.

This is because, in fact, people don't make decisions as rationally as we do in hindsight, and don't have as much material at our disposal when we look back at the problem.

Onlookers may complain about the simplicity of high school life, and why people who focus on their studies exhibit such complex relationships and problems. However, this is based on a post-mortem analysis. Do the people who create the problem want to make a big story from the beginning? Do the people who are keen to cause trouble really want to create an incident that the whole school is involved in and they can't solve by themselves? Of course not, no one can predict the subsequent effects of the incident, because, more often than not, the same problem, which is solved at the first time it was raised, is ignored, and due to various coincidences, the problem is transmuted by the interference of different actions of different people, and finally becomes so large that people feel powerless, nothing more.

Let me go back to the beginning of the question, is there really anyone who bears the greatest responsibility for the current situation? If we think that everything happened because Yono Yukishita invited Rina Ogata, then who would have predicted that Kogi Senpai would take advantage of this opportunity? If we were to blame Kogi Sao, who would have expected that such a news report would appear when the turmoil had calmed down? If we blame Kitahara's predecessors for the problem, how can he judge that Minister Watanabe, who has been getting by before, would have concocted such a report? No one could have predicted what would happen next, everyone thought that their actions were the end of a series of events, but everyone underestimated the impact of their actions, and that's exactly what happened.

It is of course necessary to put an end to the negative effects of our own problem-solving solution, but we can never eliminate any uncertainties.

However, we should not give up the possibility of solving the problem because of such concerns, because there are too many uncertainties in the future to stop, and the final result can only be constantly turned in the abyss of despair.

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

I can't describe the expression I saw at that time, even though I saw everything on the surface, although I was just self-deprecating in the face of other people's gossip. However, he is not indifferent, no one can completely not mind the harm, not to mention, he is now starting to feel a little remorseful.

As long as he understands his thoughts, then salvation is meaningful.

Of course, there are many things I don't know yet, such as who manipulated this change of public opinion in the end, why did he do this, and how did he do it? For example, what happened to Sister Yui, and is there a connection between her strange behavior and the current situation? For example, how will Kogi or Xuexia think about the current situation, and how will they deal with it?

These are all important, but the more you know, the more you will lose your energy, and the more you will be afraid of uncertainty.

Adopting the method of Biqigu, the path of thinking should be the same as that of Biqigu.

I'm beginning to understand in part the reason for the decisiveness of Bikiya's behavior. Perhaps what he himself didn't expect was that he needed to act quickly and quickly without leaving himself room for regret and hesitation.

And now, what I need to do is not hesitate after talking to Isshiki the day before, but make a quick decision.

Of course, unlike him, I didn't do it because I wanted someone else to save me, I did it because it was the only way to be saved.

I've said before that self-sacrifice is not an option for leaders unless absolutely necessary—but when self-sacrifice is the most effective way to do it, that's the "last resort" situation.

What's more, I didn't lose anything, did I?

"Have you already made up your mind?" asked Ichishiki, patting me on the shoulder. Well-informed, she had already gotten some rumors from Year 2 when I came back from Year 2F class.

So, when I expressed my determination to make a decision with her, she wasn't too surprised.

"After school in the afternoon, I think there needs to be more time for this kind of thing. ”

"Obviously you were still hesitating to make the last struggle yesterday?" Issei squinted at me.

"It's a different situation, no one knows what will happen next, and if it continues to ferment, my actions will not be effective, and it will be troublesome. I can't influence other people's situations, but I can manipulate my situation and try to bring it into the realm of concern to me as much as possible, and whatever happens next, I can try to solve it, not be a spectator. ”

"You know, and also, in fact, what you did yesterday is the most rational way, you don't need to change your thinking because of the current situation, you have a more secure choice. ”

"You made this proposal to me?"

"These are two different things," Isshiki lowered her head and said softly, "Or rather, it is precisely because I proposed this plan to you that I want you to be more cautious when adopting this plan, and I know the effect it will bring to the whole thing and to you personally, so I will hesitate." ”

"You may be right," I replied, nodding, "and you may have a better idea of the possible aftermath of this than I expected, but it doesn't make sense." ”

"I told you I would be your backup in this matter-"

I don't understand why Isshiki was more nervous than me at this time, but this time, unlike before, she didn't use a roundabout approach, she just expressed her attitude bluntly, which surprised me and made me feel a little happy. When someone is willing to do this, it means that the other person has taken off the mask in front of you.

Therefore, in the face of such a color feather, I have to convince her even more.

"I don't know how much you thought about what I didn't, but I just want to ask you another question, did you think about the problems you were about to face when you decided not to work with me at the cultural festival?"

"Considered, but—"

"—But, without thinking it all, is it?"

"Of course!" Isseki glanced at me with some annoyance, "It wasn't until after I left that I realized that all my authority in the committee was brought to me by you, and the seniors under the snow gave me some painless powers, but, other than that, am I really a committee chairman?" Even people like Sagami-senpai can't stand this kind of puppet-like position, and I'm trying my best to help with the papers, but no one takes my opinion as decisive, so you can't imagine how desperate I was at that time, right?"

"yes, I can't imagine it. But, in the end, you solved a lot of problems by yourself, right?"

"That's, of course!"

"Yes, I also see it, in the areas that I and the snow can't take care of, you help the other executive members, you let those executive members who are disobedient to the snow slowly turn to your side, their demands can not be directly notified to the snow, but can be expressed indirectly through you. These things, maybe I didn't realize it under the snow, but I saw it in my eyes!"

"Not to mention, Chairman Seiha, at the end of the cultural festival, when the plans of the other chairman were completely disrupted, right? With the support of this part of the executive committee, coupled with the presence of the committee at the end, you can stand here independently and become a strong candidate for the student council, isn't it?"

"Have you ever paid attention to me?" Issei's brows furrowed, as if he didn't know what kind of expression to show.

"I didn't pay attention to it, but I need to pay attention to the performance of those opponents under the snow, and if something happens to them, I will crush the conspiracy of these people in advance, so when you are in contact with them, I really think about solving you together. ”

"In the end, you didn't!" said Ichishiki with a complicated face.

"Yes, of course not. Because, your appearance objectively has the effect of appeasing those people, and what you did was not to pull these people up and oppose them in order to fight for power under the snow, but to lead these people while trying to cooperate with the work under the snow. ”

"This is because, after all, the collective interests of the committee are the most important. ”

"So you're really remarkable, you're able to find your niche in that mood, and to be honest, after all, it's a former partner, and I can't understand your abandonment. So, for a long time, I was looking forward to your time when you made a fool of yourself with the mentality of watching jokes. ”

"I'm really sorry to disappoint you, Kazuya!" Ichishiki said confidently, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, in a sense disappointed, but more than that, shocked—the possibilities you have created, the possibilities you have created in the face of these difficulties that you thought you could not overcome, after you have escaped the optimal path that I have shown you, I truly admire you. ”

"So, what I'm doing now seems to be a little different from what you did back then. I'm on the path of what's called the 'optimal solution', but in a sense it's the same. I, like you, need to face the next many more unknown risks, and these risks, I can't prepare for until they actually come. ”

"But if you could have done that, then why can't you trust me now? I don't think I'm worse than you!"

"I don't think you're worse than me! You're a lot better than me, right?

"Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"But," Isshiki bit his lip and made a final defense, "At that time, I was able to find an opponent of Yukishita-senpai as an ally to solve the problem, and now, if you do, you won't have any allies - even Yubihama-senpai won't necessarily be on your side, right?"

"yes, I know that. But didn't you say you'd help me?"

"I'm not enough alone!" Ichishiki said softly, closing his eyes.

"It's better to have one more person to help than no one to support, not to mention, I used to be alone, but now, I have twice as much strength!"

"My ability and yours cannot be regarded as equal weight. ”

"So, isn't the ability of those fools who will only be led by rumors to be negligible?"

Isshiki's body jerked towards me, and for a moment it was like he wanted to get angry at me unreasonably because he didn't know how to refute me.

However, the moment she approached me, she retracted her body and collapsed in her chair in some helplessness.

"Don't trust me too much, or I'll abandon you, Kazuya - I've done it once before. ”

"So, if necessary, I will abandon you in advance and not give you this opportunity. I smiled and looked at Isshiki.

As a friend, I thank you for your kindness to me and for the revelation you have given me, so convincing you is my greatest respect for you.
