Lunch Break
The entire Service Club gathered in the Student Council office.
Shiromeguri Meguri and Isshiki Iroha had arrived first.
When Isshiki saw Yukinoshita Yukino, she was immediately intimidated by her aura as the "Second Lady of the Yukinoshita family" and obediently greeted her with a polite, "Yukinoshita-senpai."
Since Su Yu and Yukinoshita Yukino had already discussed promotional matters on their way here, they skipped straight to talking about the gardening club, the culinary club, animal husbandry, and the adoption of stray cats.
The gardening club's responsibility was managing the vegetable garden.
Sōbu High currently had no gardening club, so they could either recruit members through the school or formally establish one.
Yukinoshita Yukino chose the latter.
Using the Student Council's name, they would recruit members for the gardening club.
Every member of the gardening club would receive a free lunch from the cafeteria once it was built—provided they took care of the vegetable garden.
As for the culinary club?
Sōbu High did have a cooking research society, but its members only studied recipes and practiced at home since the school's cooking classroom wasn't open to them.
So, they needed to recruit students for a proper culinary club.
Additionally, the culinary club would provide an opportunity for students to work part-time in the cafeteria during lunch breaks and after school, earning an hourly wage.
Animal care would also be handled by the culinary club or other recruited students.
Lastly, there was the matter of stray cat adoption.
Yukinoshita Yukino assigned this task to Su Yu. They would start by adopting just one cat, which the Student Council would take care of.
Once the meeting concluded—
Hiratsuka Shizuka arrived.
Yukinoshita Yukino presented her with the Student Council's agenda.
After reviewing it, Hiratsuka nodded in approval.
Then, she casually grabbed a dessert and sat down on the couch to enjoy it.
After Lunch
Ebina Hina printed out recruitment notices for the Student Council's initiatives.
Anyone interested in joining the gardening or culinary clubs could apply.
For now, membership was limited to female students.
Isshiki Iroha took the printed notices and posted them on the hallway bulletin board.
Su Yu merely observed and did not participate.
Seeing the Student Council's efficiency, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt reassured.
Before lunch break ended, the Student Council had already received over ten applications.
Students with prior experience in farming were given priority for the gardening club.
For the culinary club, preference was given to students who had worked part-time before.
Many students were simply interested in working at the cafeteria—
Girls like Kawasaki Saki, who wanted to earn money to support themselves through university, were not uncommon.
After School
Yukinoshita Yukino headed to Flash Animation.
Ebina Hina took over Student Council duties.
Miura Yumiko and Yuigahama Yui no longer needed tutoring, while Kawasaki Saki went to Future Manga Publishing ahead of time.
Hiratsuka Shizuka picked up Kawasaki Keika and brought her to Sōbu High, where the Student Council members would take care of her.
The gardening and culinary club rooms were cleaned and prepared for use.
Hiratsuka was in charge of work assignments.
Meanwhile, Su Yu headed to the tennis club to watch professional match footage that Hachiman's friend, Totsuka Saika, had brought.
The level of play in professional matches was undoubtedly on another level.
Totsuka had even found videos with detailed commentary, allowing Su Yu to learn more effectively.
And indeed, Su Yu didn't disappoint.
After watching the videos, he was able to replicate professional techniques on the spot, astonishing Totsuka.
Many of the moves were nearly impossible to counter.
Hikigaya Hachiman, watching from the sidelines, felt like Su Yu was some kind of monster.
Even Hayama Hayato looked at him with admiration.
As for Isshiki Iroha…
She didn't come to the tennis court today. She was still handling Student Council matters.
Sunset
Su Yu returned to the Student Council office.
A group of girls sat around, eating desserts and chatting.
Isshiki Iroha looked at Su Yu with an aggrieved expression.
She felt like she'd been tricked.
Being Student Council President wasn't what she had expected—it felt more like she was just doing errands.
Yukinoshita Yukino and Shiromeguri Meguri assigned all the menial tasks to her without hesitation.
And as a junior, she had no grounds to refuse.
"Don't look at me like that. If you want to be Student Council President, you have to go through these trials. Once you actually become president, you'll realize these tasks were nothing." Su Yu walked up to Isshiki and gently patted her head.
"If you were the Student Council President, I'd gladly run errands for you. If I could stay by your side, I—"
"What? Are you saying you want me to be your boyfriend? Sorry, you're a great junior, but I already have someone I like." Su Yu interrupted her loudly.
"…!!!" Isshiki Iroha stared at him, stunned.
The other girls fell silent and looked at the two of them.
Feeling their gazes, Isshiki turned bright red and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Looks like I win again," Su Yu whispered into her ear.
"Senpai… I will definitely beat you one day," Isshiki clenched her small fists and murmured.
"Got it. I'll give you another chance—confess to me again when you're ready." Su Yu smiled and straightened up.
"Senpai…" Isshiki's face turned even redder.
Su Yu chuckled and glanced at Yuigahama Yui.
Yui pouted, her cheeks puffed up in displeasure.
"Let's go home," Su Yu said, extending his hand toward her.
"Yumiko, Hina." Yuigahama Yui took Su Yu's hand and looked at her friends.
"See you tomorrow, Meguri-senpai," Ebina Hina said to Shiromeguri Meguri.
"See you tomorrow, Meguri-senpai," Miura Yumiko bowed slightly and took Kawasaki Keika's hand.
Shiromeguri Meguri watched them leave, then glanced at Isshiki Iroha.
"See you tomorrow, Meguri-senpai." Isshiki quickly got up, bowed, and left in a hurry.
On the Way Back to Sakurasou
"Su Yu-kun, so many girls like you," Yuigahama Yui muttered as she looked at him.
"I just find that junior amusing. I don't have feelings for her, don't misunderstand." Su Yu explained.
"I heard she goes to the tennis courts to find you often," Yui pressed, staring at his expression.
"She likes tennis," Su Yu replied.
"I don't believe that…" Yui turned away.
"Fine, I'll admit it—she likes me." Su Yu lightly kissed the back of her hand.
"Another girl you 'can't reject'?" Yui whispered, looking down.
"Not quite. Our relationship is still just senpai and kouhai. She's a smart girl—she wouldn't accept the fact that I have other girlfriends," Su Yu shook his head.
Hearing this, Yui lifted her head.
Su Yu could tell what she was thinking.
He stopped walking and gently pulled her into his arms.
"If I ever meet a girl I truly can't reject, I'll tell you both."
"Yukino and I can accept that possibility… but we won't accept you lying to us," Yui murmured, resting her head against his chest.
"You two little fools," Su Yu whispered.
