The protests are not surprising, but the protests under the snow are strange – especially when the chairman, who had been absent for a day, returned the next day to reassert his unquestionable authority.

Not to mention their own stunned frowns under the snow, even the few executive committee members who raised doubts, after expressing their counterarguments, looked around with some caution, worried about their loss of power—of course, when the number of other people who responded to them began to increase, the hesitant expressions on their faces slowly disappeared, although in their place, it was only a kind of happiness for the rest of their lives.

"I don't think it's advisable to abdicate one's responsibilities. On the whole, I remained calm under the snow, but the quiet glance she cast at me was a question about me: Wasn't yesterday's situation under your control?

"There's trouble under the snow. Bikiya, who was next to me, commented simply.

I quickly realized that the problem now was not that I didn't control the situation the day before, but that I had changed under the snow. Although she maintained her overall self-confidence, a moment of hesitation, or a moment of uncertainty in her words, revealed the possibility of her current relative weakness - the executive committee members may not know what is wrong with the snow, but the indisputability of the chairman does not seem to be as strong as before, and they can feel this.

And so there is temptation – and this temptation, if not met with more favourable repression, invites even more violent revolt.

Either solve the problem in a completely open way, as the mayor of the castle hall did, or solve the problem in a completely high-pressure way, as under the snow before. Those who try to find a balance between the two will eventually fail, and they will inevitably slide in either direction, and more likely, the inability to grasp this balance will lead to a complete loss of control.

So, Minister, the approach now is not to accuse me of what I did yesterday, but to use the authority you have now to control them, and not to let the scene get out of control is the point!

However, after expressing her denial of the audience's doubts, Xue Xia didn't seem to have thought about what to say next, although her expression was as calm as ever, but relying only on this indifferent face could not extinguish the flame of protest.

"You're not giving up your responsibilities, aren't you!" The first to speak was the former executive chairman of the executive committee, who had been very active in the past two days, and had faintly become the core figure of the opposition group, "Xuexia-san, you also said just now, my slogan is not bad, since it is a good slogan, then it is possible for everyone to have a consistent opinion, right? ”

"That, under the snow, I think everyone is actually thinking about the cultural festival too, isn't it?" Sagami Minami, who has been in a state of almost being ignored by me next to the snow, also interjected at this time, "Quickly decide on the slogan, and then move on to the next agenda, which is also very helpful to catch up with the timetable of the students under the snow, in the final analysis, everyone is thinking about the cultural festival, and the students under the snow can't say that everyone is despising the cultural festival anyway, everyone has been working hard- It's the same yesterday, including when my classmates weren't there under the snow. ”

However, it's also a shame that Sagami-san was able to say this! Obviously, the person who doesn't work hard the most is herself.

However, these words seem to have provoked a general approval from everyone, and even Yukishita himself is now aware of the situation getting out of control.

"It shouldn't matter if you just think about it, right? You can leave this issue aside for now, you can go back and think about it a little bit according to the meaning of the students under the snow, and then discuss it in a relatively short period of time tomorrow, okay?" However, the Japanese mud of President Joya at this time seems meaningless, and with the current mentality of everyone, tomorrow's discussion is probably also ending with the collective adoption of the slogan of Hayasaka's seniors.

This was just to give the chairman of the committee, who suddenly caused everyone's counterattack, a step down.

Under the snow at the front, Yukino bit his lip and didn't say a word.

The stool next to me moved slightly.

- But, I'm sorry, I'm a senior in the country, but it seems that the responsibility for this matter should be borne by me!

"I'm sorry, Chairman, but I have some comments about Hayasaka-senpai's slogan," I said as I stood up as I stood up with my left hand on the table in front of Hikiya.

- Since in your hearts, Yubihama and Yukimi are already "in the same stream" as Yukishi, then I can keep this image to the end.

"Yubihama-san, please don't deliberately find fault!" Sagami-minami, who had just won some sympathy through those words, seemed to regain his confidence and said loudly.

Of course, it is enough to ignore such people who are unable to accurately evaluate their own behavior.

"Isn't the slogan of the Hayasaka seniors a little too obscure? The cycle of the four seasons, the hope of white and color, although everyone can understand it after explaining it, but we can't explain the meaning of the slogan to every student, right? Even if we can make sure that the students of Sobu High School understand the hidden meaning of this, it is not only the students of Sobu High School who come to participate in the cultural festival, but also the students of other schools and people in society, so it is a little difficult for them to understand the meaning of these slogans, right?"

"But if you say that, isn't the slogan of the spring the same? Without explanation, no one will know what the 'new future' means. ”

"However, the word 'new future' itself is a very broad word that can be given infinite meaning, isn't it? That is to say, even if some people do not understand the cooperation with the general takeka, this does not prevent them from giving their own definition to the 'new future' - since a slogan has been released, it has nothing to do with the concept that our executive committee wants to give it, and of course it cannot be said to be completely irrelevant, but it is also important to give other students their own room for interpretation. ”

Of course, the slogan of Hayasaka's predecessor does not mean that there is no other room for interpretation - any slogan has infinite ways to interpret it at the operational level. Generally speaking, the interpretation of slogans is a 'concreteness process' of giving oneself an understanding of abstract slogans. However, when a slogan itself is a figurative image, we need to go one step further – to understand the abstract meaning of the figurative slogan – and when students need to think about the abstract meaning of 'white' and 'colored hope' first, and then further think about the potential meaning of the abstract meaning, the slogan's appeal to people will decrease. The reason why slogans generally take abstract words such as hope and cooperation is to omit this process of abstracting concrete slogans. And Hayasaka-senpai, don't you think your slogan is actually burdening other people to interpret it?"

"There's no rule that everyone has to understand the meaning of the slogan, right?" said Hayasaka-senpai retortingly.

"Of course no one dictates this – but what's the point of your slogan if you don't try to get it to others?"

"Then rely on indoctrination to make everyone understand!"

Doesn't this go back to the question at the beginning? This kind of indoctrination also stifles the creativity of the slogan! Moreover, I don't know if you have considered it before Hayakasaka, but the students who come to visit the cultural festival of Sobu High School include not only those from Kiyosen Middle School, but also other students who regard Sobu High School as a voluntary school. If they understand the meaning of your slogan, will it give these students a hint that 'Zongwu High School has preferential treatment for the students of Qingquan Middle School'? You are drawing a line between other and broader sources of outstanding students and Qingquan Middle School! And the slogan of Qingquan Middle School, when the students understand the future, can of course understand it as 'the future of cooperation with Zongwu High School', but because of the diversity of understanding, they understand it as other futures that have nothing to do with Zongwu High School, so why not? There is a difference between a concrete slogan that refers to a definite object, and an abstract slogan that refers to an object, probably here!"

I looked at Hayakasaka Kinshi - I believe he didn't know how to reply to me right now, and even, I'm sure, he probably didn't understand what I meant. Because the expressions of most of the executive committee members present were the same as I had envisioned, and they did not know what to do at all.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether they will refute it or not, they don't understand, and it's more convenient for me to throw out my next words: "So, since I think that Hayasaka-senpai's slogan has a very serious problem, so, Yukishita-san, my personal suggestion is that it would be better for everyone to think more about the slogan - I disagree with your opinion that 'this slogan is not bad' just now." Compared to the clichéd slogans, this slogan seems to be full of novelty, but in fact, this novelty does not bring satisfactory results to the cultural festival. ”

He looked at me a little stunned under the snow.

Please, no one else understands, but you should at least understand what I mean, right? If you can't understand my words, you should always understand my purpose, Minister Under the Snow!

"Chairman?"

"Ah, well, that's right, Yubihama is right," Yukiya nodded as if she had just woken up from a dream, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't find out that Hayasaka-senpai's slogan had such a fatal flaw just now, but now that Hihama-san has found out, it's only a rejection! ”

I sat down and looked at Hayasaka-senpai who was unabashedly throwing his displeasure at me - of course, I had already offended him, or I didn't mind his attitude towards me anymore, and that wasn't the point.

The focus was on the snow, and although I helped the snow achieve my goal, the snow itself did not take advantage of the opportunity.

By the time she voluntarily admitted that she had "neglected the problem", the image of the flawless chairman in everyone's minds had already gone bankrupt.

If other people have realized the lack of confidence under the snow before, then the words under the snow just now have already given them another hint - under the snow Xue Nai, she made a mistake.

Never made a mistake under the snow Yukino, she made mistakes.

This means that the possibility of legitimacy against her opposition has increased—since Yukishimo's rebuttal is acceptable to Yuhihama, it is only natural that Yukishita should also consider our objections. Although our opposition failed this time, it was not a failure under the snow, but a defeat caused by Hihama in another way.

And once this correctness disappears, how much of the unique authority of the executive chairman that belongs to the snow will remain, that is a question mark.

I looked under the snow again, but she only nodded at me slightly.

She was unaware of the crisis she was facing.

I felt the ease of being supported, and then slowly indulged in it and couldn't extricate myself.

Compared to when they first met half a year ago, the sharpness of Xuexia has disappeared - but, with it, her accurate judgment of herself has disappeared, and without realizing it, she has become more and more of a person who cannot realize her own reason.

I think it can be ended as part of that agreement with Hiratsuka-sensei a long time ago, because, an opponent, took the initiative to choose to surrender!

Trying to stop yourself from becoming a semi-weekly party (dying throes). and a minute of silence for Xue Nai, Yubihama Demon King is not as gentle as the big teacher - his gentleness is all left to the people of the sister attribute (Xue Nai: I am also a sister because of my age!)
