As usual, he stands within the frame, not daring to walk into their circle

　　Overall, under Chika's leadership, the Student Council managed to have a very enjoyable time playing.

　　Have fun when it's time to play, and work hard when it's time to work hard. As soon as the students in the Student Council entered a working state, the atmosphere in the room would become tense, and time would speed up as if pressed.

　　When Shinichi raised his head from the pile of materials, the sunset was already setting outside the window.

　　"Ishigami and Iino have already left, Asada, have you finished your work?"

　　Shirogane's voice came from the side, and Shinichi turned to see him who had just packed his school bag, then pointed to the documents on the table.

　　"If you don't do well, you can do it tomorrow. I will close the door."

　　"I'm done, President. This could be sent directly to the staff room tomorrow, and this pile was for budget review by Ishigami. There are no documents in it that you and the vice president need to review."

Shinichi stretched his waist, shaking his aching and stiff hands, after neatly arranging the two piles of materials on the table, he stood up with his school bag in his hand, and handed a note to Shirogane.

　　"This is information for you. Actually nothing. It's just that Shinomiya Senpai wants to know if you've had any problems lately."

　　Shirogane was momentarily stunned, and when he picked up the note, he revealed a hint of gentle laughter.

　　"I can't do anything about her. Why didn't she just tell me she cared? She still wants you to investigate me… Shinomiya is really clumsy."

　　"In this world, the person most unqualified to say such things to Shinomiya Senpai is you, President."

　　"I know, so don't complain about me..." Shirogane smiled wryly, looked at someone who was sleeping on the table on the sofa on the other side, and lowered his voice a lot, "Try not to talk to Fujiwara about our problems. Even though she might not be able to detect it even if it is mentioned, but it is better to be safe than sorry…"

"If you let her interfere in your love war, no matter who wins or loses in the end, I'm afraid you won't want to."

Shinichi also looked at Chika who was sleeping soundly, a little envious of the friendship between the three of them.

　　Since he was an outsider, joining the Student Council was only an accelerator, not a catalyst, for the two of them. With him or without him, it wouldn't make much of a difference. Because of that Shinichi was able to enter into the crucial love between the two and find a safe place in the war.

　　And Chika is different, she is not only Kaguya's most important friend, she has also helped Shirogane in many ways, and she is one of his most trusted friends. Her every move, every word and deed, regardless of whether it was intentional or not, would have an extremely strong impact on Shirogane and Kaguya.

　　It's safe to prevent her from knowing the inside story now. Once she found out that the two people liked each other but dared not say it, no one could guarantee what kind of method the brain whose thought circuits were completely different from normal would be.

　　The situation that was originally balanced immediately became chaotic. Even if the other side finally confessed, they would be guessing in their hearts whether they were persuaded by Fujiwara to make such a choice, and couldn't just admit victory like that.

　　Therefore, whether it was Shirogane Miyuki or Shinomiya Kaguya, they hoped that Chika could always maintain such ignorance until the two of them achieved positive results, and let her be the first to know about it.

　　Presumably when this couple gets married in the future, the first bridesmaid will also be a petite girl drooling on the table in her sleep, right?

　　Shinichi sighed softly, he walked towards Chika, and was just about to touch her shoulder, he stopped in midair for half a second, then turned to the table next to his face, bent his knuckles and tapped lightly.

　　"Fujiwara Senpai, please get up, time to go."

　　"Uh..."

　　Chika opened her eyes in confusion, raised her head to look left and right, and wiped the shine on her lips with her arm, "Is it already evening? Asada-kun, the documents..."

　　Even though she accidentally fell asleep in the middle of the game, just like she said before playing, Chika was very helpful in sorting through files and summarizing information.

　　Obviously, she is usually an imbecile who has little brain and is often complained about by others, but she displays extraordinary dexterity and finesse in dealing with official matters, effortlessly processing messy documents at a speed two or three times faster than Shinichi. Which made Shinichi feel an inexplicable sense of frustration.

　　Of course, less than half a month after Shinichi took office, there was a huge gap between him and Chika who was a member of the Student Council in her 2nd year of high school, but this was no reason for him to be complacent with the status quo.

　　So, in order not to lose to Chika, Shinichi spends the entire afternoon trying his best to get up to speed as he tackles official duties.

　　Shinichi sincerely thanks her.

　　"All the accumulated work has been done, thank you very much for your help."

　　"It's alright~ It's only natural that Senpai takes care of Kouhai, Chika-sama won't leave Kouhaik who is in trouble~" Laughing a bit ridiculously, Chika stood up unsteadily, and grabbed the schoolbag beside her, rubbing her eyes as she walked towards Shinichi.

　　"Hah... then let's go home... oops!"

　　Stumbling on her feet, Chika was still yawning and she didn't have time to stand still, her body suddenly lost balance and fell into Shinichi's arms, her soft and petite body flew straight into his arms.

　　Even though he had time to get out of the way, Shinichi was not cold-blooded enough to let Chika who had just helped him fall to the ground.

　　He stood there like this, without moving his feet, watching Chika's head close to his chin.

　　Like a spoiled child, Chika leaned on Shinichi, and the two black uniforms seemed to merge into one.

　　However, apart from that, the two actually no longer made physical contact.

　　Because when Chika was upside down, Shinichi was already picking up the schoolbag while supporting her, he skillfully blocked the elastic attack from the pair of soft objects.

　　Chika hugs his arm subconsciously, but Shinichi can't take advantage of it by reason of an accident, this is respect for her.

　　For Shinichi, if welfare relationships like this can be avoided, they should be avoided as much as possible.

　　"Fujiwara Senpai, are you okay?"

　　"I, I, I, I'm fine!" Leaning on the school bag in front of her chest, Chika was stunned for a long time, then took a few steps back. Her blush appeared on her pretty face and her tone was slightly panicked and nervous, she waved her palms left and right in front of her chest, "Really… I was too careless to have such an accident after waking up~

　　"Asada-kun's reaction was fast! Could it be that you who looks thin on the outside are actually a descendant of a certain martial arts family?"

　　"No, please don't guess, I'm just an ordinary male high school student." Shinichi turned around, and walked towards Shirogane who was waiting for the two of them at the door, "Let's go, Fujiwara Senpai, the president said that he found the eighth of the seven wonders of the school, I thought you would be interested."

　　"Is it true?!" The embarrassment on her face immediately turned into an expression of joy, as if she had forgotten all about what had just happened, and Chika smiled happily again.

　　She quickly followed Shinichi, looking at him with twinkling eyes.

　　"Just like the four heavenly kings have five, the quintuplets have the sixth, and the seven dragon balls have eight, there is an eighth among the seven prodigies of the school? I know Shuchi'in Academy is not easy!"

　Shinichi winked at Shirogane.

　　"Let the president tell you, I don't know anything."

　　(He really blamed me...) Shirogane understood his eyes, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and after secretly slandering him, he still started racking his brains to think about how to fool Chika.

　　Shinichi noticed them starting to chat with great interest, letting the shadows drift slightly away from the two, and smiled secretly to himself.

　　As always, he knew he was just an outsider.

　　Even if he is brought into that circle, he must recognize the distance between himself and others, and maintain a moderate relationship, and not break the rules at will.

　　Good intentions don't need to be known by others, the choices he makes must be responsible to the end, and only by obediently within the prescribed framework, he won't harm himself and others.

　　But somehow, Shinichi hated such an idea at first.

　　——Because I have such thoughts, I really am a very boring person.
