Among the entire Student Council, apart from the Student Council President, the most mysterious person was this silver-haired Vice President.
When Momobami Kirari became the Student Council President, she was quickly promoted. She wore a mask every day, and no one knew what she looked like beneath it, nor did anyone know her true identity.
Some said she was actually the Student Council President's vassal, a ninja; some said she was actually a man disguised as a woman; and others said she was merely a substitute, a disguised identity used by the Student Council President to monitor the academy...
These speculations shrouded the Vice President in a layer of mystery.
However, these were only rumors circulating privately in small circles. No one dared to openly discuss the Vice President's identity, and most people hadn't even heard these speculations.
Yumemi Yumemite, in order to curry favor with the Student Council and become a member, had specifically collected these rumors.
Although she didn't know if the rumors were true, one thing was certain—the other party was humorless, her likes were unknown, her personality was unknown, and there was no way to approach her for flattery. She was even harder to deal with than Sachiko Juraku!
Bumping into her was absolutely a very bad thing!
Yumemi Yumemite was filled with remorse. She had clearly been walking by the wall, so how did she still bump into someone?!
"Yumemi Yumemite, what were you thinking just now? Why didn't you react when you bumped into me?"
The Vice President, Ririka, spoke. Her voice was altered by a voice changer, sounding like a steady middle-aged woman.
"No, I wasn't thinking anything!" Yumemi Yumemite quickly shook her head guiltily: "Vice President, I'm very sorry, I was distracted just now!"
Yumemi Yumemite lowered her stance, hoping the other party would show mercy and let her off the hook, but the Vice President's next sentence plunged her into despair.
"Come with me to the office now."
Those who witnessed this scene looked at Yumemi Yumemite with pity. She had actually provoked the Vice President; how tragic.
When they saw the Vice President appear in the hallway, the passersby quickly made way, only Yumemi Yumemite, lost in thought, muttered to herself with her head down.
Originally, the Vice President was going to step aside to avoid bumping into Yumemi Yumemite, but she heard something that made her stop in her tracks...
Yumemi Yumemite obediently followed the Vice President into the office. Ririka sat in the office chair, her hands clasped on the desk, and asked in a cold voice.
"Tell me, what were you thinking about earlier?"
"No, I wasn't thinking anything..." Yumemi Yumemite guiltily shifted her gaze.
Seeing that she wasn't going to be honest, Ririka's slender fingers tapped on the desk, and she said in a deep voice, "You mentioned Ayanokoji earlier, was the person you were talking about Ayanokoji Kiyotaka?"
"...Yes, it was him." On this point, Yumemi could only admit honestly.
"You just said he was 'bold.' What did he do?" Ririka continued to press.
Yumemi Yumemite knew that what she had seen was difficult to talk about. Seeing isn't always believing; what if she had misunderstood?
If this matter reached the ears of Miharu Taki Sakura and Mibuomi Aoi, and they considered her the culprit for destroying their relationship, wouldn't she be finished?!
"Vice President, this is just a private matter..." Yumemi's face showed a flattering smile, trying to brush it off: "Is there anything you need me to do? I will definitely do my best!"
"A private matter, huh..."
The Vice President nodded "thoughtfully," then suddenly said, "Yumemi Yumemite, don't you want to join the Student Council? You're not showing any intention of contributing to the Student Council now. I believe there's no need for you to come to the Student Council anymore..."
The Vice President's words were more effective than Sachiko Juraku's. If she said she wouldn't let her join the Student Council, no one would dare to object.
She had put in so much effort for the Student Council; would her "political career" end before it even began?!
In desperation, Yumemi Yumemite instinctively blurted out, "I saw Senior Miharu Taki and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka on a date!"
"...What did you say?"
Even with the voice changer, it couldn't hide the tremor in the Vice President's voice, which was enough to show how shocked she was.
Yumemi Yumemite, fearing to anger her, quickly lowered her head and remained silent.
"Look up and tell me exactly what happened!" The Vice President suppressed her anger and said in an undeniable tone.
Seeing that the Vice President was angry, Yumemi no longer dared to hide anything and spilled everything she had seen in one breath.
From how she was invited by a friend to support them, to seeing Miharu Taki Sakura at the fountain square, then seeing Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, how she followed them, and how she then discovered them drinking and watching fireworks under the cherry blossom trees... She told everything in one go.
"What happened next? Where did they go after leaving Yomiuri Land?" Ririka, who had remained expressionless and seemingly emotionless, impatiently slapped the table and pressed for answers.
"After that, I was afraid of being discovered, so I waited for half an hour before coming back. I don't know where they went..." Yumemi Yumemite said softly.
"..." Ririka was silent for a while before asking, "Have you told Mibuomi Aoi about this?"
"How would I dare to say anything!" Yumemi Yumemite shook her head repeatedly.
If she told Mibuomi Aoi, regardless of the truth, she would at least offend either Miharu Taki Sakura or Mibuomi Aoi.
She wanted to join the Student Council, so of course, she didn't dare to offend anyone. If the Vice President hadn't kept pressing and threatened her not to let her join the Student Council, she wouldn't have confessed.
At least she wasn't planning to speak until she figured out the truth!
Ririka pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "Since that's the case, don't worry about this matter, and don't tell anyone else what you saw. Don't tell Mibuomi Aoi, and don't answer even if the Student Council President asks you."
Family shame should not be aired, Yumemi Yumemite knew that the Vice President was going to handle this matter herself, and she nodded repeatedly, "I know, I didn't see anything!"
She would rather pretend she hadn't seen anything; now that the Vice President said that, she actually felt relieved.
As Yumemi Yumemite turned to leave, the Vice President suddenly said, "Yumemi Yumemite, aren't you trying to become a member of the Student Council? You can report to the Student Council tomorrow."
Yumemi Yumemite was overjoyed, "I understand!"
She had been trying so hard to curry favor with the Student Council members, and she never expected to receive an invitation to the Student Council in this way!
This is great, I can become a member of the Student Council, and finally, I don't need to hide my identity anymore!
She suppressed the excitement in her heart, bowed to the Vice President, and hurriedly left the office. She didn't return to the classroom but left the school directly.
She wanted to tell her agent the good news, completely forgetting about Miharu Taki and Ayanokoji.
