Narrator's POV
The scene is quiet as Ayanokouji acts completely ignorant of the class's expectations of him being blown out of the world!!!
Not only did he give a terrible introduction but he managed to piss off Shinomiya who was like totally ignoring Ayanokouji, the entire time they are in class and got into the Student council on the very first day!!
Such a quiet and calm boy wields chaos as his right hand
He truly is a walking breathing contradiction.
The whole school came to know about this little scrimmage and his selection by none other than, the ditzy pink-haired girl of the Student Council, Fujiwara.
Due to the terrible luck that Ayanokouji seems to have, Fujiwara was peeking into the council room the entire time after she had arrived from her games club.
Watching the intense match, her stomach couldn't handle such a bountiful of gossip and spilt it before the Council had a chance to disclose it officially.
Oh, poor poor Ayano-..hey hey...
Ayanokouji's POV
It seems the word of me being elected has been spread throughout the school. I had noticed Fujiwara the moment she had opened the door.
Hence I accepted the offer right when she arrived, piquing her interest and making her watch the entire back and forth that took place from the creak in the doors.
All that information I had to collect before selecting this school was quite a tedious task. I had all the records I needed from Koenji's hands and had my documents completely removed from any medium.
I turned to see a person tapping my desk I looked up to find it to be none other than Ai Hayasaka and her allies.
She was in close tie-up with Shinomiya and was her defacto head servant. Upon discussion with Koenji regarding this he had informed me
'Don't go after Shinomiya-girl, considering the financial connections we have with their company, it will cause an issue. Hoho, rumours suggest she has her eyes set on Miyuki Shirogane.'
'I see, it would be difficult that way.'
Now you have a few other options Ayanokouji-boy. But considering this school is the safest bet for you as not just our company but also Shinomiya's company is going to indirectly protect you...it is Ai Hayasaka, who is a suitable candidate'
'Why so?'
'That's for you to figure out. Enjoy, Ayanokouji-boy This return gift of getting the perfect bride, the perfect human has bestowed upon you'
Hayasaka indeed was below average as of yet but considering I had enough evidence to destroy Koenji's company in an instant, I think it is something definitely to look into. While I could have forced information out of him, I would rather not meddle with a person of such high narcissistic characteristics.
While I don't have much information on her other than her prowess as a capable worker and a good faker, I plan on changing that and confirming if she really is suitable for me.
Otherwise, I will simply have to change targets.
"Hey, What'cha staring at?"
Her body language was absolutely vivid and lively oozing an aura of friendliness and warmth.
"At the football field, do you need something from me?"
"Nothing much don't worry. We were just curious about the rumours that were spreading around...are ya really a part of the Student Council?"
Hayasaka's POV
What this brown-haired boy said next pulled the rug under me as he boldly proclaimed
"Yes."
Both Lady Kaguya and he simultaneously voiced the answer.
The whole class was too stunned to believe what he was saying as even if the rumours were spread...they were just rumours.
But now it was a fact. This person, in front of me, is no run on the mill dude but rather something else entirely.
Could he be someone like Ishigami with less of a depressed but much more boring face?
"OOOHHH!! Hear that girls? We have someone other than Shinomiya who is on the student council. JUST WOW!"
I slapped his shoulder in order to cast the total friendship spell and pointed at Shinomiya who was unperturbed by the gazes pointed at her as I yet again asked the million-dollar question.
Shinomiya's POV
"Shinomiyaaaa, why was he elected into the Student council.....Commmeee on, share it with the rest of us and also tell us why are you mad at him. Pretty please?"
Hayasakaaa, you traitor!! I already had to apologise to the President and the rudeness I showed due to my curiosity about the unknown going out of control after he ruined my and the president's eye contact. Right now I need to think about how to circumvent the situation.
"It's quite obvious isn't it. We had a misunderstanding and we have now come to an understanding. I had no intention of avoiding him, please don't assume such things based on rumours Hayasaka. He was admitted to the council based on criteria that are classified, I hope everyone understands."
"Ohh Okie!"
Hayasaka finally stopped bothering us. Honestly, such a mess.....now I need to see the president's cold face to calm down.
Narrator's POV
At least tell me when my narration is not wanted.....how many times will my feelings get hurt!!
While everyone was confused as to why Shinomiya had her cheeks red as a rotten tomato as she turned away from prying eyes. Ayanokouji was simply sitting there...watching....staring...
IS HE A CREEP??
Hayasaka went back to her seat after the stun dart shot at her by our beloved archer Shinomiya with her befitting reply.
She waved slightly at Ayanokouji to give her goodbye but my man was so awkward that all he could do was put his hand up and slip it back down.
Poor Ayanokouji! I am rooting for you buddy!!
More like I have to...
Results of today's battle: Shinomiya wins and Hayasaka loses...while Ayanokouji...is trying!!
While the rest of the classes went by Ayanokouji didn't lift a finger and simply gazed out of the window as if that's where he will find the wonders of the world like Icecream. What's so weird is that Ayanokouji didn't write anything and if he is like this, then how was he able to rig his scores?
It seems Shinomiya has something similar going on her mind.
Shinomiya's POV
Considering his lacklustre appeal it will be hard to give him a proper position in the council. Should we assign him as a second treasurer as he is so good at exams to be able to rig his scores...and why 50s??
Isn't it super obvious? As if he was trying to bring the attention of the council purposefully??
If so, have I fallen into his trap? Is there a way to retract my statement?
NO!!
That's out of the question!! Thanks to Fujiwara it has been made public and returning the statement now will harm both the Council and his reputation.
While I suspect him, he is not guilty. I can't cause much harm to him just after his arrival without any proof of him trying to be an obstacle. It is both immoral and a waste of my time. At least I can take solace in the fact that now, this anomaly will be under my observation until it's neutralised.
Narrator's POV
After classes Ayanokouji took out his skates from the bike rack next to Shirogane's bike...what a coincidence.
"Ahh! It's you Ayanokouji! I hope your first day went well, even after the ruckus caused in the Council room. Trust me, Shinomiya isn't always like that."
"It's fine president. I don't mind it at all. Sorry, but I will be late for work."
HOLY SHIT!!
Is he another workaholic like Shirogane?
Shirogane's eyes gleamed brighter than the pole star he always looks at, as he asked
"Oh really?? I work a part-time job too!!"
"I see. Since I live alone, I have to collect enough money for the day to day supplies."
"What about your parents?"
"...They do send me money...but it's a bit lesser than the required amount. So I have to work part-time instead."
"I see...."
While this might seem like a perfectly normal conversation but different things were brewing inside that mind of Shirogane's!!
He just found a bestie for life!!!
Shirogane's POV
H-He is just like me!! He works part-time...Maybe I can get him to join me at my job too! We are both financially weak.
I noticed his skates which are from a well-known brand...which is quite contradictory. If he has such good products...then why should he work?
I shouldn't pry too much just after talking to him for a while and I need to rush!!
I pedalled as hard as I could and while cycling I heard a pair of rolling sounds behind me. I am too busy to notice!!
I finally reached the cake shop with sweat dripping from my head as I saw....
AYANOKOUJI????
Narrator's POV
That's absolutely right!! Ladies and not ladies!!!!
Right now by too much of a sheer coincidence, they are working at the same cake shop.
HOW ODD??
And while Shirogane was dripping in sweat as the Niagra falls, Ayanokouji here was as dry as the Antarctica Desert!!
Damm, those skates...I want them.
Shirogane asked while huffing like a granny.
"Do you also work here?"
Ayanakouji with his same old boring tone answered
"Yes, I had signed up about a week ago. Today was my joining date, I didn't want to be late."
It seems...it was FATE!
Ayanokouji's POV
Getting close to all the members of the Council will be essential, hence every step of Shirogane was to be observed and preplanned. In this game of love, emotions will play a leading role.
Such emotions I will have to learn and use to my very advantage....or there is a good chance I may lose.
Surely I can try to control Hayasaka but it will take too much effort and will have a very high chance of being temporary. A lover can't be a tool. She will have to be my ally.
For now, Shirogane, be my book of friendship.
Prove yourself useful.
Maybe, this place...
Can teach me...
