Announcing it
Having my affiliation to the Student Council revealed to everyone was something I already expected sooner or later. That’s why Shio doing that a little ahead of time didn’t really matter. The attention I received from those unaware of it was also waved off.
But apart from that, seeing Fukuda’s group as well as the trio of Ogawa, Tadano and Taku freezing up as though they couldn’t believe it, somehow satisfies me.
Well, being seen walking behind Shizu back when we went for the riverside-cleaning activity probably only gave me the status of a lackey in their minds.
But with the way Shio worded it, being part of the council meant I’m holding an official position. And that’s what froze them in their tracks.
That’s like an unexpected jab thrown at them. Fukuda would now have to think twice about how he was going to deal with me for Chii’s affection. He still believed he had a chance, after all.
