To be fair, it is okay to help Isshiki in some less troublesome places. If it is just a "small victory", then I will agree to help Isshiki. This is also something I have confirmed. However, to

In order to help Isshiki and involve myself in some troublesome things, it's better to be polite and respectful.

Let me emphasize again, I do not object to helping others, but I am not an idiot who just wanders around to help others when I have nothing to do.

However, looking at Isshiki's smiling face, I always feel that she seems to have other tricks up her sleeve.

——Later, when Isshiki showed his trump card, I found that I seemed to be powerless to resist.

"I know Kazuya won't agree easily, but at least if someone in the class competes with me for the position of executive committee member, you have to come forward and help me!" Isshiki smiled, as if nothing happened.

He continued talking as if it had happened.

"So who else besides you would enjoy such a thankless job?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Although the executive committee is thankless for its efforts, it is a job that looks glamorous after all. There are always some people who will do this for the sake of the superficial glamor without considering their actual abilities.

, isn’t it?”

"Are you one of those people?"

"I don't belong, because even if I can't do it, don't I still have your support behind me?" Isshiki glanced at me with a smile and said matter-of-factly.

"Since when have you considered me your unconditional allegiance?"

"Of course you are not this kind of character, but, Kazuya, I believe in you! I believe in you. When I face difficulties, you will help me - just like you helped your little girlfriend Sugiura Koharu." Isshiki

His eyes looked directly at me, and there was some color of unknown meaning in them. It was a kind of confidence and an inexplicable plea.

I don’t want to care about how Isshiki knew about Koharu’s problems—she always has all kinds of weird channels to get all kinds of weird news. What I care about is how she treats me.

A kind of trust that surprised me. As she said, if we really face difficulties, I think I will help Isshiki - although she is a bit unpredictable most of the time, she is also somewhat eccentric.

, but I still regard her as a trustworthy person and a friend.

However, in Isshiki's eyes, what kind of role am I more of? A neighbor who only complains about her exaggerated acting skills all day long, a person worth using, or a friend worth cherishing?

I looked at Ishiroha's eyes, but I still couldn't come up with an answer. Her brown pupils were as playful as ever, hiding her emotions as always. She could openly admit her lack of ability, and shamelessly express her feelings to her.

I asked for help, but I was still amazed by her ability to get others to act on her behalf, which was the basis for her opportunity to pursue higher goals.

However, I can't tell what this girl is thinking and wants. Is she trying to pursue a status that is like being admired by everyone, or something simpler and purer?

I know what Yukinoshita Yukino wants is the supreme correctness, I know what Yuigahama Yui wants is team harmony, I know what Sugiura Koharu wants to achieve is a certain impression that meets my standards, but I don’t

Know exactly what Isshiki wants.

Similarly, it was only now that I discovered that I still don’t know what Senior Xiaomu Zhuo wants - this is also one of the most important reasons why I dare not face Senior Xiaomu Zhuo now, right?

"The sports festival is about to start, and the time to decide on the executive committee of the class is coming soon, so I still hope that you, Kazuya, can make a decision as soon as possible!" Isshiki stood on tiptoes and patted my shoulder.

——Only then did I realize that this girl’s figure is actually on the petite side.

But the petite figure contains a lot of energy!

"After my clear refusal, do you still want me to consider it?"

"Of course, I know you will refuse, but I also have the possibility of convincing you. To be honest, I still have a trump card more or less! But I still hope not to use that thing, because if I use that thing

, just like I want to exchange benefits with you, Kazuya and I are still friends, right? If we are friends, it would be better not to exchange benefits!"

"I hope you can tell me this trump card in advance, otherwise I will be too worried."

"The trump card is the secret! A-secret-makes-a-woman-woman, this sentence is very famous, isn't it?" Isshiki put a finger in front of his lips in a very feminine manner, and whispered in a low voice

said.

——Of course, in my opinion, it’s a bit bad for a girl like her who usually relies on being coquettish and cute to get boys’ attention to make such a gesture.

"An overly mature attitude is not suitable for you."

"Is that really the case? But it can also be regarded as a little more trial for the future! In short, you should think carefully about becoming an executive member!" He raised his eyebrows distinctively, and Iroha was like

Just like a butterfly, it jumped away.

I don’t understand what her trump card is. Likewise, I still don’t know why I want to accompany her to such an event.

In order to accommodate my time, Yuigahama's dinner time is often postponed until after eight o'clock. This is something I have become accustomed to, but when I think about it occasionally, it also makes me aware of the kind of family atmosphere.

Warm.

If there is an emotion in the world that cannot be replaced by reason, it should be the emotion between family members. It is true that we have encountered many stories of parents and children turning against each other, but more families are harmonious, and parents love their children.

They give their best, and their children repay them with everything they do - and neither party makes such sacrifices for simple gains. It is an irreplaceable bond between family members.

The atmosphere when discussing issues at the dinner table is certainly not a wise atmosphere. No one can explain a problem clearly - because even if you write a paper, your family will not care about it. Your family will only care about your current emotions.

and the emotions you may explode due to various problems.

"Xiaohe, I think it would be better if you don't get into a quarrel with Xiaoxue recently?" Of course, this time is also the time for Sister Yui to lecture me - although most of the time I treat my sister

Listen carefully to your words, accept them, and then forget them.

So, it's the same this time.

"Yes, I understand, Sister Yui." While acting like a good child in front of my parents, I was already familiar with dealing with Sister Yui's preaching.

However, today's sister seems unwilling to give up easily.

"Xiaohe, let me be serious with you now. After school starts, Xiaoxue is different from before. Xiaoqi has mentioned it. In fact, I can feel it occasionally."

"So, what is different about the minister? He is as meticulous as before, and his shortcomings are also the same. He is not gentle enough, or he has a vicious tongue. He is very arrogant and no one can change the things he has determined. Also,

It’s just that she had started to provide me with tea steadily before, but now she has become casual again - obviously I think she should thank me and treat me better!"

"I really haven't noticed the tea thing. I think it's not good for Xiaoxue to do this, but it seems that it can only be decided by Xiaoxue himself - eh, eh, eh, that's not what I want to say!"

"Tch, changing the subject failed!"

"Xiaohe, I heard you, don't always change the subject when I'm about to say something serious!"

"Okay, okay! Then come and see, what happened to Minister Yukinoshita?" Looking at my sister who kept emphasizing her "serious" status, I could only sigh, now that she had expressed it

With this kind of meaning, it would not be good to show that it has nothing to do with you.

"Let's put it this way, Xiaohe, after Xiaoxue came back this time, she seemed very anxious a lot of the time, as if she was looking for something to prove herself." My sister's language organization ability is really average, although I guess

I understood what she meant, but I still felt that I might have understood something wrong.

because--

"Why, from my point of view, has the minister become much lazier this time around? The two commissions that started last semester were just step-by-step and meticulous, and the occasional commissions that came to her this semester were all rejected by her.

When you are looking for something to prove yourself, you should quickly solve some things, isn't it? But now she obviously feels like she has almost forgotten the purpose of the service department!"

"You haven't noticed. Every time someone knocks on the door, Xiaoxue is the quickest to respond -"

"——I think it's because she is the minister, and she wants to remind Mr. Hiratsuka to knock before entering."

I thought I had made a good joke, but this complaint was ignored by my sister gracefully.

"Xiaoxue is very serious every time she receives a commission. However, the commissions she refuses seem to be meaningless. At this time, she is very disappointed. I can understand her expression."

"So Yui-sensei has been staring at the minister's expression? I can understand that you have potential lily attributes, sister?"

"Xiaohe, don't keep staring at these weird things, I'm going to be really angry next!"

"So, what is the meaning of Yui-san's words of 'let me not conflict with her'? Because Yukinoshita can't find enough tasks for herself to prove herself, she is very depressed? Because she

She feels depressed, so you want me not to get angry with her?"

"Although I feel like there is something wrong in the middle, but that's probably what it means? There's nothing I can do about it. Recently, Xiaohe has become very assertive again. It's difficult for Xiaohe and Xiaoxue to get along well with your personality. Xiaoxue...

It may be useless for me to say these words, but for you -"

"——Although what you say may have a worse effect on me, because I am your brother, I will still obey your words to a certain extent. Is this what you mean?" I sighed and understood what my sister meant.

.

"Hehe." Sister Yui moved her dumpling head sheepishly and smiled.

"I know, I will try to reduce the conflict with the minister as much as possible, but according to my idea, the best way to prevent Yukinoshita from becoming so irritable is to let her find something that can prove herself

A matter of ability.”

"If you can find it, then you don't need to ask Xiaohe!" My sister flattened her mouth and said.

"If you don't ask for a commission, you can take it on your own. You don't need to be limited to the scope of the service department. For example, there will be a sports festival and a cultural festival soon. Let Yukinoshita be an executive committee member, or even the executive committee chairman, while she is busy.

Now that she's up, she won't care about these things, right?" I said casually, remembering what Isshiki had mentioned to me before.

——Then I really want to give myself a slap in the face. It is obvious that Yukinoshita not participating in the competition is the best result for Isshiki. Why should I encourage Yukinoshita to run for the Executive Committee Chairman now?

What method did Isshiki use to convince me, let me help openly, and have a head-on conflict with Yukinoshita? This kind of thing is too uneconomical.

"Wait a minute, this thing doesn't count-"

"——Is that so? Is that what Xiaohe thinks?" Then at this time, Sister Yui usually reacted very quickly. Before I could finish my negative words, she had already nodded thoughtfully.

"Wait a minute, Yui, is the Koyuki you just mentioned the same person as the Koyuki you usually mention?" Moreover, my mother-in-law also subtly intervened at this time.
