Chapter 56: Kaguya Shinomiya's Student Council Invitation
Ren was unaware of Esdeath's actions. He was facing a new situation. Two people had arrived at the Supernatural Research Club.
One had her long black hair tied up with a red ribbon. Her face was fair, beautiful, and utterly cold, paired with pupils of vivid crimson. She looked even more like an ice queen than Yukino. It was Kaguya Shinomiya, the Student Council President of Sobu High, known as 'Ice Kaguya'.
Beside her was a pink-haired girl wearing a black bow, Fujiwara Chika, the Student Council secretary. She curiously observed the strange club, which had nothing but a table and a few chairs. She glanced at Ren and Yukino. The 'Peerless Emperor' and the 'Highland Flower'. The top and third-ranked students. What are they doing here?
Kaguya, however, didn't think about these things. She merely cast a cold glance at Yukino. "Ren-kun, as the Student Council President, I would like to invite you to join the Student Council. I believe your abilities are very suitable."
Her voice was clear and cold. It made Yukino frown. The Student Council was the most powerful component of the school, managing all funds and holding the power to determine the fate of any club.
But facing such authority, Ren lazily stretched. "Invite me? What position?"
Kaguya blurted out, "Vice President."
He paused. "I don't want anyone above me."
Her words were astonishing. "President. I will step down to Vice President."
"Meow meow meow???" Chika was dumbfounded. What is going on? This wasn't what we agreed upon!
"Forget it, I'm not interested. It must be very tiring, and I'm very lazy," he spread his hands.
"I'll do all the President's duties for you."
"Hiss!" Chika gasped, her eyes wide. This is too exaggerated! Even Yukino was confused.
"You're really overdoing it," Ren was speechless. Was it necessary to be so persistent? I only saved her once.
"If it's Ren-kun, everything is worth it," the persistence in her eyes was unyielding.
"Alright, you win." He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Some people sell themselves, some play tricks, some are willing to be maids, and some offer high positions directly. Sigh, such a life is tiring!
"I will arrange the handover ceremony as soon as possible," a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she turned and left.
"???" Chika was completely bewildered. She vaguely followed Kaguya away, a strong curiosity about their relationship now burning within her.
As the two left, Ren rubbed his temples. "Ask whatever you want."
Yukino immediately asked, "You know President Shinomiya?"
He nodded. "That's right. She was disturbed by a demon, and I saved her."
"..." Yukino glanced at him. The hero saving the beauty… she was very familiar with that trope. At this moment, a sense of rivalry towards Kaguya rose in her heart.
"Ai-chan! I succeeded! I invited him!"
"Oh, you're so amazing, Kaguya-sama." The blonde girl, Hayasaka Ai, responded expressionlessly.
"Anyway, I'm going to handle the handover."
"Mm." She hung up the phone.
Hayasaka frowned, her gaze fixed on the computer in front of her. It was filled with photos and information about Ren.
