Chapter 14: Is the Enemy an Acquaintance?

The Student Council Office, marked by a brass plaque reading "Student Council Room" at the doorway, was located on the top floor of the Club Building, which was the sixth floor.

Going up from the stairwell entrance, from the fifth floor to the sixth floor, one could see the Student Council Election Results Announcement posted on the wall.

Every officer had a poster like a movie star's.

On the posters, besides their photos and names, there were campaign slogans.

Publicity Committee, General Affairs, General Management, Finance, Secretary, Vice President, President.

Not all were exceptionally good-looking, but their temperaments were indeed different from ordinary people—some like refined ladies, some cheerful and lively, some appearing to possess the spiritual aura of a genius researcher at first glance.

Above all these people, the President's position had a poster featuring a beautiful girl.

Her black hair was long and straight, different from Mikami Ai's flowing black and lustrous long hair; the President's black hair leaned more toward nobility and etiquette.

The blackness of her hair and the whiteness of her skin formed a startling contrast.

Though she was only a high school student, she had a hint of mysterious, bewitching sensuality, like a witch.

"Equality? Does it mean everyone is in a position of disadvantage before you?"

Mikami Ai's voice, carrying a hint of mockery, brought Qingshan Li back to his senses.

She was mocking the Student Council President's campaign slogan.

"Do you two have a grudge?" he asked curiously.

"No, we're just not familiar."

There was no relationship colder than not being familiar.

Mikami Ai suddenly looked at Qingshan Li, sized him up, and asked, "Do you like her?"

"Quite the opposite of you, I consider her an acquaintance, but we have a grudge," Qingshan Li said.

"If you affect the club's establishment, I'll deal with you."

Qingshan Li and Mikami Ai were neither familiar nor free of a grudge.

"I also want to remind you of one thing," he said, "the school requires me to join a club this week. If you can't establish the club before Friday, I'll have to go to another club."

"Volunteering to be an undercover agent? Very suitable for someone two-faced like you."

"I'm very curious whether you'll speak your mind later."

"You're too shallow, Classmate Aoyama," Mikami Ai smiled, that kind of arrogant, indifferent smile. "I speak my mind in the Choir Club for their own good. Now, for the Athens Philosophy Research Club, I'm willing to suffer some grievance."

What else could Qingshan Li say?

Just a sigh.

The victorious Mikami Ai turned around satisfactorily and walked toward the Student Council Office, with Qingshan Li following behind at a distance of five steps.

Mikami Ai tapped lightly on the ornate wooden door with her finger.

Only after hearing "Enter" from inside did she open the door and go in.

It seemed she had learned the lesson from yesterday.

Inside the Student Council Office, there were four long tables forming a rectangle.

The Student Council President used one long table alone, and the floor was higher than the other three, representing being high above like a school.

On the other three long tables, small groups of people gathered respectively, busy handling work reasonably.

Only the President above was boredly playing with a strand of her hair.

No, not bored, but the ease of work being too simple, and the confidence of controlling everything.

Compared to the posters, the others differed more or less, but only she—whether it was the whiteness of her skin or that sense of nobility and mystery—had no difference at all.

Student Council President, Miyase Yaeko.

Her eyes looked over; though they were deep black, they made people suspect they saw a pair of red eyes.

The only difference from the poster was that, amidst the witch-like mysterious bewitching charm, one could also sense a hint of purity from her.

Perhaps because no one dared to approach, or perhaps because she had killed everyone who approached.

"Oh, long time no see," Miyase Yaeko looked at them and smiled, "both of you."

"Didn't you say you were very familiar?" Mikami Ai didn't pay attention to her, but spoke to Qingshan Li instead.

"Males are all self-righteous. Now when I talk about you with my friends, they all say you like me," Qingshan Li said.

Just as if Qingshan Li were picking his teeth on the spot and flicking his lunch onto the floor, Mikami Ai moved a few steps away from him.

"I want to establish a club," she said to Miyase Yaeko.

"Yuko," Miyase Yaeko said to those below.

"Here!"

"Give her a club application form."

"Yes!"

It was just like in a company.

However, these students before her eyes, after leaving Kaimei High School and graduating from university, might truly become Miyase Yaeko's subordinates.

If their abilities were outstanding, perhaps they could even be personally designated by her to handle matters as they were now.

Once they realized this, Yuko and the others, when ordered by Miyase Yaeko, would not only feel it unfair but would feel honored, striving to actively perform.

Even if they themselves didn't realize it, their families should remind them.

The material collection progress had improved quite a bit—was it because it was the first time coming to the Student Council, or because of Miyase Yaeko?

"Qing Shan Jun," Miyase Yaeko smiled and spoke, "do you still remember me?"

"I recently smashed my head and lost many memories," Qingshan Li said.

"No wonder." Miyase Yaeko nodded. "You and I met once when we were seven. There was a car accident, and I saved you."

Nonsense!

Clearly it was Qingshan Li who carried her out of the car back then!

Although the car afterward did not catch fire and explode like on TV, instead, because he rashly carried her out, it nearly caused her injuries to worsen.

Still, it really was her.

"Done." Mikami Ai finished filling it out.

There was quite a lot of content on the application form, yet she actually finished writing it so quickly; last night when she went back, she must have done more than simply think about it.

She handed the application form to Miyase Yaeko.

The girl named Yuko took it from her hand, then handed it over to Miyase Yaeko with both arms.

Seeing this scene, Mikami Ai crossed her arms and sneered.

"Athens Philosophy Research Club?" Miyase Yaeko glanced at it. "Studying the philosophy of ancient Athens, Greece, imitating the atmosphere of Athens, adopting the behavior of philosophers, with Advisor Teacher Akita Shio—the content is fine, but—"

"Any other problem?" Mikami Ai was as confident as a lawyer who mastered all laws.

"Only the two of you as club members?" As for Miyase Yaeko, she had the completely relaxed posture of a legislator.

"The Student Handbook says only two members are needed to establish a club."

"Give her a new Student Handbook." Miyase Yaeko put down the application form and leaned back.

Only then did Qingshan Li notice that her chair was actually an armchair with a backrest.

What Mikami Ai said was not wrong; Miyase Yaeko indeed treated the school as her own private property.

A General Affairs member handed the new Student Handbook to Mikami Ai, while explaining:

"The President proposes that from now on all clubs must have a membership requirement: one First Dan freshman, or at least three Second Year or Third Year students. Only clubs with a certain stability are eligible for a separate classroom and funding—this proposal has already been agreed to by the school."

Mikami Ai skillfully opened the Student Handbook and looked at the sections related to clubs for a while.

She looked at Qingshan Li: "Your sister is in the Choir Club?"

"Yeah."

It turned out she had seen him and Ono Mizuki yesterday already.

"Have her come to the Athens Philosophy Research Club to make up the numbers."

Saying this kind of thing in front of the Student Council? Qingshan Li looked at Miyase Yaeko.

The witch-like Miyase Yaeko was very leisurely; although her legs could not be seen because of the long table, one could imagine her crossing her legs.

Noticing Qingshan Li's gaze, she raised one hand, gently covered her ears, and on her absolutely beautiful face gave him a slight smile.

Qingshan Li's heart rate accelerated; the other person gave him the illusion that she would marry him in the future to repay his kindness.

【Campus Romance Daily Life: 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%】

"Okay." Qingshan Li nodded.
