Confident Shinomiya Kaguya

"Student Council?!"

Fumino didn't expect Kaguya to ask her about the student council.

"Kaguya-san, do you want to invite them to join the Student Council?"

When Chika heard this, she immediately understood what Kaguya was thinking and lowered her voice to make sure.

"Yes."

Regarding this matter, Kaguya openly admitted it.

"This..."

Fumino was a bit confused; she had never considered joining the student council before, and now Kaguya suddenly brought it up, making her feel embarrassed.

"There are many people watching nearby, so it's uncomfortable discussing some things about the student council."

Kaguya looked towards the other students slowly gathering to witness the excitement, then said, "If possible, could you come to the student council room? It would be more convenient for me to explain it there."

"Ricchan, what do you think?"

Fumino hesitated to make a decision, so she planned to seek advice from Rizu.

"The decision is in our hands, right?" Rizu lifted her glasses and said seriously, "Shouldn't joining the student council be voluntary?"

"Of course, joining is not mandatory." Kaguya explained with a smile, "Even though a Student Council member only needs to be appointed by the Student Council president, even if appointed forcibly without their consent, it still doesn't matter."

"Then let's go and see."

After receiving this explanation, Fumino felt relieved and made a decision.

There's no harm in listening, as she was quite curious about the student council.

"But do you still remember when the time arrives?"

"It will definitely be on time. Don't worry; there's still more than half an hour until class starts."

Kaguya had considered all of this, ensuring that her arrival time wouldn't delay their meal, and they would have enough time to talk.

"Let's go."

Rizu checked the time and urged.

"Do you want to come too?" Kaguya looked at Chika and asked casually.

"No, I have to go to the board game club later."

Chika pointed to the board game in her hand and declined.

If there was something interesting to say, she would go to the student council with Kaguya, but forget about the boring event of just inviting them to join the student council.

Rather than going with them, why not go to the board game club and discuss with them how to modify the board game.

"Um."

Seeing this, Kaguya didn't say anything and walked towards the student council with Fumino and Rizu.

...

"Please come in."

Opening the student council door, Kaguya invited both of them.

During the daytime, usually, no one came to the student council room, and she had confirmed it beforehand, so she didn't have to worry about opening the door only to find someone else inside.

"Excuse me."

Agreeing, Fumino and Rizu entered together and sat on the sofa.

"Ah, it's quite impressive."

Fumino observed the environment in the student council room and commented in a hushed voice.

Although she couldn't see the specific value of the furniture, she could sense that it was valuable.

"Here's some tea."

Kaguya placed two tea cups in front of them, then sat on the sofa across from them.

"Thank you."

After expressing their gratitude, Fumino asked with confusion, "May I ask why Shinomiya-san invited us to join the student council?"

Kaguya said a bit helplessly, "Because I have too few people."

"Impossible? How can the student council lack people?" Fumino didn't believe this explanation.

"Furuhashi-san, you misunderstand. I never said that the current student council lacks people." Kaguya gently denied, "I said I have too few people."

"Is there a difference? Shinomiya-san, aren't you also a member of the Student Council?"

Fumino didn't know much about the student council and couldn't comprehend it yet.

"Furuhashi-san, do you know who the current Student Council president is?" Kaguya didn't answer her question but continued to ask.

"Not sure."

Fumino shook her head; she had never known this information, how could she know.

"It's okay if you don't know. You just need to know that the change of the Student Council president happens in September." Kaguya said very calmly, "The new Student Council president will be elected at that time, and then other Student Council members will be selected, and the members will also be reappointed."

Rizu interjected, "Shinomiya-san, are you running for Student Council president?"

The meaning of Kaguya's words was clear; anyone not foolish could understand her intentions.

So, her goal in seeking the two of them was quite simple—to join the student council after she became the new president, and they could help manage it.

With things reaching this point, Kaguya no longer had hidden thoughts and spoke directly to the point.

Once she became the Student Council president, many previous Student Council members would definitely resign from the club, and important positions like secretary, vice president, and treasurer would also be vacant. She had to find someone to fill them.

And she didn't have enough people. Among those she knew well, only two people were suitable candidates for the Student Council—Fujiwara Chika and Kamikawa Ren.

Chika didn't need to worry; as long as she talked, it would be fine, but Ren was difficult to handle.

In this regard, Kaguya had to find someone else to join the student council to avoid a situation where she had no one.

After some selection, she chose Fumino and Rizu.

One was a genius in liberal arts, and the other was a genius in science. There was absolutely no problem for them to join the student council.

And their backgrounds were clean enough, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Shinomiya-san, it seems you're determined to win the Student Council president position." Fumino sighed.

It was only July now, and there was still the summer break before September. Now Kaguya was thinking about what to do after becoming the Student Council president, and she could only comment confidently.

"Of course."

Kaguya felt there was no one who could compete with her for the Student Council president position. With her reputation, she could be elected easily if she wanted.

It's okay to start planning now.

"After talking a lot, I haven't discussed the benefits of joining the student council after you two." Kaguya brought the topic to this aspect, "I can explain in detail the benefits you want to hear, whether it's for further education or daily life. You can ask about scholarships or the like."
