Chapter 8: Unexpected Aid Is a Burden
In a sense, Yui Yui Yui Yuira is the one I don't need to worry about the least of all, not only because my sister's way of dealing with problems is more straightforward and therefore more predictable, but also because I know too much about her style of behavior as her younger brother for 16 years.
Of course, from the specific decision-making level, Sister Yui occasionally does something that I didn't expect, such as choosing to apply for the general martial arts high school at the beginning, such as now preparing to participate in the election of the Miss general martial arts high school, but in terms of specific implementation methods, the actions I just said are somewhat effective, and some of them make people feel ridiculous, and they are not beyond my expectations. Asking for help from a variety of people and making the most of your network is Yui Yuhama's style.
Compared to Yukishino, who can predict the other party's choices but occasionally makes a fuzzy mistake, or Ichiki Yuki, who can't predict the measures she takes at all, or the Kogi Senpai-senpai who I don't know the logic of thinking at all now-Yui is really the person who doesn't have to worry about the least, from this point of view, Yui's sister has indeed done what an older sister should do—at least not to add extra trouble to his younger brother when he is worried about various things.
So the problem is with the others, and it's not good news to take a different path than under the snow, but as I said before, the behavior under the snow is predictable—as long as there are no more problems under the snow, the minister's measures to be taken, and her possible patience with my actions, are also in my predictions. Kogi Senpai may be the most difficult person to estimate, but with the cooperation of Fuyuma and Sasa, as long as I have more opportunities to contact with my seniors, I believe I can also try to understand her choice.
The biggest problem is Isshiki – the uncertainty of Isshiki can be a big problem for my actions. The most likely scenario is that in order to stabilize Ichishiki, Snow continues to reserve the opportunity for her to give a final speech at the cultural festival, and she accepts it, although this is one less ally for me, but it is actually a more desirable outcome, because her behavior is still known, and the known analytical factors, even the negatives, are stronger than the unknown positives - however, the choice of Ichishiki is unpredictable.
If—I mean, if Isshiki-san is very righteous and chooses to side with me because of Yukishita's betrayal of me, that's of course a good thing.,But it might lead to Yukishita's greater emphasis on me who worked with Isshiki for this reason.,Then the careful thinking I took with Fuyuba-senpai might also be interfered with by unwitting factors—in the worst-case scenario, it's possible to find a reason to replace me from the position of the watchman of the light music conference.
So, in order to eliminate all instability, I need to communicate with Isshiki to determine her attitude - although in the afternoon in order to express my dissatisfaction, I almost ignored the persuasion in the other party's eyes and chose to leave the executive committee classroom first, but this still does not mean that I can ignore Isshiki's attitude.
The question is how to effectively have a conversation with a color feather.
- That's right, until now, I realized that although I seemed to be familiar with Isshiki-san, as a neighbor, I never seemed to take the initiative to discuss issues with them.
All the conversations began with her initiating the topic.
So, watching her talk freely among all kinds of boys and girls without paying any attention to me, I suddenly felt that I had no room to interject at all.
Although the dialogue between these boys and girls is as unrefined as ever.
"It is said that Xiao Caiyu is now more and more confident in the executive committee! At first, I was worried that you would be a little uncomfortable as the chairman of the executive committee!"
"Actually, it's nothing, the main work is done by the seniors under the snow, and I don't actually do anything, just do a little bit of work. ”
- However, the purpose has been achieved, and if the students in the class have this impression, the other students who are not familiar with the executive committee will probably have this impression as well.
"But it is said that the speech at the cultural festival performance is made by Saiha-chan, right? This must mean that Saiha-chan actually has a very important position in the committee, right? Otherwise, according to what you said, the seniors under the snow would not have willingly given up that position to you, would they?"
"No, no, no, these things haven't been determined yet, have they? When you say that, you have a feeling of aptitude, this kind of thing can't listen to the wind or the rain, can it?"
- I don't admit it, but I don't deny it, this is a very clever skill, and Isseki students are quite familiar with this set of bureaucratic things!
"So sure enough, Caiyu-chan is still very influential, right?"
"Didn't you say that? If you keep asking, I can only say that I have no comment!"
"Ah, Caiyu-chan is very cunning!"
- Okay, it looks like Ichishiki-san's pretty smug look. It seems that the issues I have considered are completely overthinking, and it is enough to follow the original plan.
"-It's just that yesterday I had a small conflict with the seniors under the snow--but don't talk about it.,It's just a small problem within the committee.,If the image of the executive committee is affected because of this matter, then the cultural festival can't be saved-" However, Isshiki's next words made me turn my head back.
I didn't pay attention to the words of "Be careful with that colored feather-chan, the seniors under the snow are not such easy people to deal with!", and I almost immediately saw a flash of sly eyes in the eyes.
This girl's thoughts are really hard to predict!
------------------------------------ Dividing Line-------------------------------------
"Isn't this a normal thing? There is a conflict between you and the seniors under the snow, as a person who is one with you, of course I should fully express my attitude, right? Otherwise, if I ask you for help in the future, you will definitely not help me, right?"
"Your words seem to make sense, but why doesn't it feel so convincing under your expression?" Yes, though Ichishiki's words were righteous, every expression on her face—even the smile that appeared on her long eyelashes—emphasized that I didn't get too close to her, and that she had come close to me on her own initiative—told me that what Ichiyuki said was not to be believed.
"Don't you think I have a trace of sincerity?"
"Even if you had such a 'sincere thought', would you really change your final decision because of that thought - by the way, if you hadn't told me from top to bottom, 'See I'm lying,' I still expect something from you. ”
"Understood, then it's okay to be less obvious next time, I thought Kazuya you would definitely not believe me to deliberately behave like this, so it's a bit self-defeating?" Ichiseki raised his eyebrows and said.
This is a foreshadowing of her transition from a joking state to a serious one.
"Of course, it's still impossible to say that there is no idea of advancing and retreating with you, after all, if I choose to support you at this time, you will definitely be very touched - Kazuya you are not a person who does not know about Entu, I know this very well-"
But you also know very well that even if you don't support me at this time, I won't be disappointed in you because I know your character too well, and I have never included your help in my calculations - taking into account the gains of helping me and the losses of not helping me, this is not a reason why you must help me. ”
"Bingo!So, here's why I decided to have a conflict with Xuexia Senpai for your sake - because there's a more serious problem here. Without your help, I don't have much confidence in the next task of not having an impact on her real power, but also cultivating enough influence under the influence of my predecessor under the snow. ”
"Even if your friend just praised you like that, you don't have confidence?"
"The little circle of girls always praises each other like this, but behind the scenes, who knows what they believe in me! If you take those words seriously, you don't know girls well. Isshiki shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression.
"Uh, is that so?"
- To be honest, I really didn't expect that.
"Kazuya, are you taking those words seriously?" Isshiki's eyes widened, and he looked at me as if he were a stranger.
"Ahem, I don't know the girl's character, I'm really sorry!"
The two girls of the same age I've dated the most, my sister and Koharu, aren't the kind of people who will play tricks behind their backs.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect to find such a weakness of Kazuya. Isshiki covered her mouth and chuckled.
"But if that's the case, is it really okay for you to reveal the news of your quarrel with the snow? ”
"It doesn't matter – even if I don't say it, rumors are still flying in the circle where there are rumors. I'll count them.,Rumors about Ichishiki," Ichishiki counted carefully with his fingers, "There's a scandal between me and Hayama-senpai-well.,It's a long time ago.,Yushiki-sanko had a lot of boyfriends when he was in junior high school.,Of course, there's a recent one where I gave Sister Patrol benefits to help me get on top.,Oh,Of course, the hottest thing is that Ichishiki-sanko just hooked up with a boy in the same class recently.,And that boy dumped his senior sister girlfriend for her.。 ”
When he said the last rumor, he looked at me with a serious face as if nothing had happened. But I think my face must be wonderful right now.
"So you don't want to find a way to eliminate these rumors out of nothing, especially the last one, it's not a good thing for you to pursue Hayama!" I hummed.
And for me, what a big talk it is to be able to snatch Kazuya from Xiao Mu Yu's predecessor - even if I run to make up for Miss Zongwugao, this can be blown for a lifetime. ”
Come on, this time I've already said the hero's name directly - I now have reason to suspect that the rumor is so fake that it makes people feel terrible came from Isshiki's own hand.
Probably seeing my now gloomy expression, Isshiki wisely chose to stop.
"All in all, Kazuya just needs to know that in the circle of girls, strange rumors are too normal, even if that sentence was said by me, it doesn't mean that other people will really believe this rumor. On the contrary, if I catch who put my words out, hum-" Isshiki smiled meaningfully.
It was then that I realized that a color feather was not a harmless flower as she appeared on the surface! The thorny rose was not only for boys, but also for girls.
"Okay, so let's sum up the situation now, because you think you're going to be a puppet under the snow again after I'm gone—so, at the risk of that, you're going to keep up with me, just to make sure I'm on your side, right?"
"Something like this. ”
"So, what are your plans for after you quit?"
"Hey, isn't that what you should be responsible for?"
“…… When did I promise you. ”
Well, there seems to be some subtle errors in the communication.
"But I think you're sure you're ready for me to break with the senpai under the snow for you—" Isshiki looked at me even more innocently.
"Please, don't say that you don't have confidence in yourself so you come to hug my thigh, is it okay?"
"But the key question is that with your character, you should always have this kind of plan, or do I think too highly of you?"
From this point of view, it is indeed high-minded.
It's true that I didn't have a plan that Isshiki was on the same side as me — of course, I was ready to make a plan that Isshiki was not on the same side as me.
Then, there is only one choice.
"Well, I see," I bowed my head and looked into Isshii's serious eyes, "what I want from you for your actions is to apologize to Yukishita, and then, continue to cooperate with Yukishita—even if you are completely obedient to her." ”

I guess it's me who has a harder master's degree than my senior year of high school (to be reasonable, I can sleep seven hours a day in my junior year of high school), so don't complain that I'm slow to update, if you count the code word as a job, I'm also a poor person who studied and worked 14 hours today!
