The formal meeting of the executive committee started faster than I imagined. The formal meeting began on the second day after the candidates for the class executive committee were determined.

However, before the official meeting started, my companion, Iroha-san, who pushed me into this pit together, decided to take the first step.

"As you know, Kazuya, just asking you to help me run for chairman will definitely not work. I have to find other friends who support me. They may not be able to help directly, but as long as they vote,

Just support me when the time comes, so, hey, you understand, right?" Isshiki clasped his hands together and lowered his head in front of me seemingly sincerely, with a pair of smart eyes flickering, showing a pleading look.

"So you mean to let me go to the classroom alone for the meeting?"

"Hey, it's no problem. You can sit with Yukinoshita-senpai. Yukinoshita-senpai must also be an executive committee member. Besides, Kazuya is not the kind of person who is not good at interacting with other people. He must not have

Isn’t that the problem?”

To be honest, I don't mind going to the executive committee meeting alone, or, if I think about it carefully, it would be more conducive for me to help her if Isshiki and I attend the executive committee meeting separately - if the two of us don't sit down

If we are together, then my support for her will appear more objective and more convincing to others.

——I'm just unhappy with the gloating expressions on the faces of the members of Isshiki's Guards when they see Isshiki's current attitude. How about that feeling of "Ah ha, I was trying to please Iroha but Iroha-chan ignored me."

"The expression on their face really made them want to be picked up and sobered up.

"I also know that Kazuya is very generous and doesn't care about the looks of those people, is that true?" Isshiki obviously won't ignore the looks of those people, but in her eyes, those guys should really not

People who deserved too much attention, so she only mentioned them symbolically.

Thinking that those self-righteous guys were actually ignored, I felt much better.

This is why I am sitting alone in the executive committee meeting room.

The meeting room of the Executive Committee is a long round table - everyone knows the meaning of the round table. It is to ensure the "equal" status of everyone, without distinction between front and back and left and right, so that no one feels that they will be ignored.

.Of course, there are also special methods for choosing the location of the round table - especially for members of a separate team.

For those who are alone, the most ideal position of the round table is in the middle of the corner away from the main speaker. First of all, it is absolutely not advisable to be close to the main speaker, because this will definitely make you

The focus of the crowd - my main purpose now is to play a supporting role. I can't expose myself so obviously, especially when I am helping Isshiki to argue with others. If my position is too conspicuous, I can easily become the target of criticism.

This is unwise; secondly, you must not sit in the middle position on the left and right sides of the round table - because these positions are generally occupied by friends with whom you have connections, and of course they will not stop you from sitting in these positions.

place, but when you find that you are surrounded by people you already know, you will find that if you want to speak, you must also take care of your surrounding environment and atmosphere. Of course you can not take care of it, but in exchange for

It will be a very strange silence and embarrassment; finally, you cannot sit directly opposite the main speaker. Once such a person speaks, he will become the object of attention of the main speaker and the host.

, basically means the focus of the audience. So, to sum up, if you are alone and inconspicuous, the most ideal position is in the middle of the corner of the section away from the main speaker.

Of course, I can think of this and others should be able to think of this too.

For example, Hikigaya Hachiman walked into the classroom with his head peeking out. It really surprised me that Hikigaya would come to this meeting. He is not the kind of person who would want to participate in such troublesome activities on a whim. At the same time, he

His presence will be so thin that everyone will ignore him, and no one who hates him will elect him as an executive member.

Hikigaya squinted his rotten eyes and quickly glanced back and forth in the classroom. Then, as if he had decided something, he walked towards the direction where I was sitting. Of course, without any doubt, he was beside me.

Sat down.

"Yo." Since Hikigaya is not someone who takes the initiative to greet people, I took on this task.

"You are actually going to be an executive member." Hikigaya nodded simply, raised his eyebrows, and asked in surprise.

"It's better for me to ask you this question. Don't tell me that this was your whim decision. I won't believe it."

"I was pushed onto the pirate ship by someone for no apparent reason." Hikigaya replied through gritted teeth.

"It can't be Sister Yui, right? She does seem to be the kind of person who likes to do bad things with good intentions." I had an ominous premonition in my heart.

"Don't worry, your sister doesn't understand the atmosphere to this extent. She herself was almost elected to the position of executive committee member. She knows that this kind of thing is very annoying. The person who pushed me up was another person——

Another person who can’t argue with that.”

"That's Hayama?"

"It's Shizuka Hiratsuka, that woman, should she quickly find someone to marry?" Hikigaya said helplessly, "If she had gotten married, she probably wouldn't have become such a passionate teacher."

"I think it's because she's too passionate that she can't get married. Don't reverse the causal relationship!"

"Let's not talk about it anymore," Hikigaya shook his head, with an expression on his face that said, "If I'm so miserable, don't hit me any more." "What are you doing here to attend this meeting? Although you may not be able to attend such a meeting.

Your sex is a little higher than mine, but I think it’s just a little higher. You’re not the type to get involved in such troublesome things that have nothing to do with you, right?”

"It's just like you, I'm just being asked for favors - except that the person who requested me is more gentle, and we are an equal cooperative relationship." I glanced at a person in the distance who was chattering with other first-year committee members.

Colorful feathers.

"Oh." Hikigaya nodded clearly.

"——By the way, don't you think they are boring? They talked about their experience of becoming an executive member with a hypocritical face - each one described themselves as if they had not thought about it at all and were tricked and abducted.

, but in fact, everyone has their own little calculation in their hearts." Hikigaya stared in one direction with some disgust and said, his words seemed to be talking about Isshiki, but they didn't seem to be talking about Isshiki.

"This is the normal communication mode in the mobile phone world, isn't it? You should be familiar with it."

"Sorry, I just felt that I suddenly had someone I could communicate with, so I said a few more words."

Ah, I understand clearly, in a space where you feel out of place, when you find a familiar person, or someone who shares a common experience with you, you will always be more willing to talk to him or her more.

Even speaking more about one's own psychological thoughts - in the final analysis, this is still out of fear of the collective and society, and it is just actions taken unconsciously because of fear of these aspects.

Human beings are always unable to get rid of emotional troubles on these small details!

I turned my gaze to the direction Hikigaya was looking at. There, there seemed to be a girl I had seen somewhere, and she was also noisily communicating with the people around her.

"Oh, that's Sagami, the female executive committee member of our class." Hikigaya explained after noticing my gaze.

I remember that person, the girl who appeared in front of Yui-san at the summer vacation fireworks display, and then provoked her, and was finally slapped in the face by Isshiki. It seemed that she was also a member of the current group, but

She shouldn't belong to the same circle as her sister, she is a girl with a somewhat bad personality!

"That guy is the female executive committee member of your class?"

"What, do you know her?"

"It's a one-time relationship, right?" I nodded sincerely, then looked at Hikigaya and said, "It must be very hard to cooperate with such a guy, right? Hikigaya-senpai, please come on!"

The expression on Hikigaya's face was very wonderful. My voice of sympathy obviously made him feel helpless. However, probably because he remembered Sagami's bad deeds, he probably couldn't think of any way to refute it for a while.

Just when he was rubbing his head with a headache and thinking about how to respond to me next, the noise in the conference room suddenly stopped for a second.

I looked at the door of the conference room.

——Is it finally here?

Isshiki's judgment was correct. At the door of the conference room, Yukinoshita Yukino stood there proudly. It wasn't necessarily because of her beauty, but maybe it was also because of her innate cold and arrogant aura. At that moment

It directly shocked the noisy atmosphere in the classroom.

For me and the two members of the service club, Hikigaya, seeing Yukinoshita should be an extremely normal thing, but for most other people, this may be their first time getting up close and personal outside of the classroom.

Although Yukinoshita is not as popular as miss Sobu High, as a top second-year existence, Yukinoshita Yukino still has an extraordinary status in the hearts of many people. Therefore, when Yukinoshita appears

It is not an exaggeration to say that the breathing of the entire audience seemed to have stopped for a second.

Yukinoshita's sharp eyes also scanned the entire conference room, and then fell on Hikigaya and me. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then slowly walked towards us.

However, as if she suddenly realized something, she stopped again, walked back a few steps, and finally chose a middle seat to sit down.

I can roughly estimate her psychological state. However, she decisively gave up her initial approach. In the end, she would rather endure the awkward atmosphere among a bunch of mutual acquaintances than follow through on her initial mistake.

, it’s really Yukinoshita’s style!

"Yukishita?" Hikigaya looked at Yukinoshita with a complicated look, "You don't look surprised at all?"

"I have the source of the information in advance, and part of the reason why I came here is for Yukinoshita."

"For Yukinoshita?"

"Of course, I'm not here to help her, but just to keep her out of the way - although she may not be in the way."

"Don't let Yukinoshita get in the way. What you said seems a bit arrogant!"

"It's a bit arrogant," I smiled and said, "But it's okay to try it first. If something goes wrong then, it means I'm too arrogant now!"

"I really don't understand what you are talking about." Hikigaya shook his head helplessly and said.

Afterwards, he turned around and stopped talking. After all, it probably didn't fit his style to constantly communicate with people like this. In other words, talking to me so much was the limit for Hikigaya.

Already.

I had no intention of continuing to talk to Hikigaya. I saw Isshiki in the crowd opposite me glance at me and in the direction of Yukinoshita, and I made an "ok" gesture to him.

To show my understanding, Isshiki turned around again and started chatting with her friends.

The committee members soon arrived.

The door was pushed open, and Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka walked in - this was an unexpected but at the same time expected character. After all, Teacher Hot-blooded, the head teacher of the club, Shizuka Hiratsuka, if he didn't interfere during the cultural festival,

One kick can't be justified.

The next person who walked in was President Shiro. With her usual gentle smile, she walked in slowly holding a bunch of information documents in her hands. When she entered the door, her eyes seemed to be the same as those of Isshiki.

He faced her and smiled at her - if I hadn't observed carefully, I really wouldn't have been able to spot this.

But discovering this always makes me think that President Jojo will use some tricks to give Isshiki a feeling of authority.

Of course, when I noticed that she was casting a gentle smile on me, Hikigaya, Asa Yukinoshita, and other friends she seemed to know, I felt that my previous idea was too unreliable.

The Chairman of the City Patrol Council, at this time, is still using his best method to win over people's hearts.

Then, I discovered that there was another person behind President Shiro - Teacher Hiratsuka. I shouldn't be surprised by the appearance of this person, but I still couldn't believe that he actually appeared in the execution room so openly.

In the committee meeting room, and it seems that not in the name of the executive member, but following the student council president.

Kitahara Haruki glanced around, his eyes should have paused on me for a second, and then he stood quietly behind the president.

Perhaps, compared to the expected competitors like Yukinoshita, some enemies who hide in the depths and then reveal their fangs are the most terrifying.
