Chapter 136 Three Women, One Group Chat

In the meeting room, one could feel a noisy sound that was different from the previous atmosphere, and the reason for this was the man who suddenly arrived.

I could hear discussions coming from all around me. In the Haichuan Ikusei Academy where both men and women wore suit jackets, this man in a stand-up collar uniform looked like an alien.

"Sorry to bother everyone."

But from the sound of his voice, he seemed relaxed. Facing the gazes of the crowd, he did not seem nervous at all, probably because he was used to this kind of scene.

"I'm so sorry, President Ayase, I'm late."

He walked into the meeting room and bowed slightly to Ayase Kotone first.

The desks in the room were neatly arranged in a U-shape, forming a circle. Ayase Kotone, who was sitting in the front row, stood up and looked at the other person.

"Are you the president of Mahita High School, Subaru Miura? It's our first meeting. Please give me your guidance."

"No, no, it's right here."

The two student council presidents saluted each other.

"There is still some time before the meeting starts. If you don't mind, President Miura can introduce yourself to everyone first."

"Well, that's good too..."

Subaru Miura, who arrived so suddenly, walked to the front row and faced everyone.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

He greeted everyone he met for the first time in a very pleasing way.

"I'm the student council president of Shin Kitada Private High School, Subaru Miura. Today I'm here on behalf of the school to attend the meeting for the cultural festival jointly organized by the two schools. This is our first meeting, and I hope you will give me your guidance."

"I am very happy to co-organize the cultural festival with your school this year. I also hope to get your help. Let us work together to ensure the smooth running of the event..."

After Subaru Miura's long self-introduction and spiritual speech, there were a few scattered applause, and then other people attending the meeting followed suit.

"Thank you very much, everyone."

Subaru Miura saluted skillfully, then looked around the room and stopped at a corner of the meeting room.

After Subaru Miura walked over there, he put his backpack on the ground and asked, "Can I sit here?" Then he pulled out the chair next to Haruka Sakurai and sat down. His every move was very polite.

"Haruka, long time no see."

After sitting down, Subaru Miura greeted Sakurai Haruka directly with a smile.

"Do you have my permission to call me that? And don't sit here."

Sakurai Haruka looked at the other person, but it was as if she didn't see him. Under those cold eyes, the other person still smiled and sat down next to her.

"Huh? Is this your friend?"

On the other side, Amamiya Iori asked Sakurai Haruka softly with doubt in her mind.

"Ah, are you Haruka's friend? Nice to meet you."

Subaru Miura smiled happily, stood up without any embarrassment, and extended his hand to Amamiya Iori.

But his attitude, as if he was speaking on behalf of Sakurai Haruka, made her delicate features look even more distorted.

Amemiya Iori glanced at Miura Subaru thoughtfully, then simply said "Hello" and looked away, looking at Sakurai Haruka again.

"Haruka, can we add each other on LINE? I created a group yesterday and invited Reina-chan, do you want to join us?"

Amemiya Iori winked at Sakurai Haruka playfully.

"Yeah, ok, I'm fine."

Sakurai Haruka did not refuse Amemiya Iori's suggestion. She took out her mobile phone and moved her seat slightly towards her. It seemed that she did this to make it easier to add to the group, but in fact she wanted to stay away from Miura Subaru as much as possible.

However, Subaru Miura did not lose his smile despite the repeated cold water poured upon him.

Ayase Kotone, who was sitting in the front, watched the scene quietly, then looked up at the clock on the wall. The meeting was about to begin.

She gradually distributed the materials to all participants in the meeting, and stood up and announced:

"Well, let's start the meeting now. Please give us your guidance."

After hearing this, everyone started to get excited, ready to contribute the good ideas and thoughts that their classes had prepared in advance.

But soon, the commotion died down - there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Ayase Kotone answered the door.

"Sorry, I'm late."

As the door opened, the person who appeared at the door was Shimizu Ken, who had just rushed in from the faculty office. He bowed slightly to Ayase Kotone who was sitting in front of him.

"It's okay, the meeting has just started, please come in."

"Thank you."

After expressing his gratitude, Shimizu entered the room silently and went straight to the seats of Amamiya Iori and Sakurai Haruka.

Tap the table lightly.

I met Miura Subaru's eyes when he raised his head.

"Here is my seat."

……

……

At first, a gloomy look flashed across Sakurai Haruka's face, but after seeing Shimizu Ken appear, his brows slowly relaxed.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Miura Subaru noticed something and looked up at Shimizu in confusion.

Not only that, everyone in the conference room shifted their gazes from Ayase Kotone to Shimizu Ken.

"Executive member of Class 2-B."

Although Shimizu Miki didn't like speaking in such a formal official tone, except for the three heroines, everyone else here was someone he didn't know. If he didn't make some explanation, he would probably be regarded as an unrelated person who had forcibly barged into the meeting.

"That's right, but there are other empty seats next to it. I got there first."

Subaru Miura's smiling eyes were reflected under the lenses.

At this moment, Qingshuijian felt that he had seen this familiar scene in a coffee shop two days ago.

It's just that at that time he was in a third-party perspective.

Qingshuijian didn't know the man in front of him, nor did he know his name, but this was not the first time he had seen this man.

If I remember correctly, the person in front of me should be the fiancé that Sakurai Haruka mentioned that I met once that night.

Most likely, Sakurai Haruka's concerns have always been related to him.

"Excuse me, is there anything else?"

Subaru Miura thought that after saying this, Shimizu would obediently move to another seat, but he just stood there motionless, so he asked.

“I don’t like repeating the same thing.”

Shimizu said this in a slightly cold tone with the intention of expelling him. Sakurai Haruka in front of him obviously didn't want this person called Miura Subaru to sit here, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

But now Amemiya Iori is also next to them, perhaps she will notice that Shimizu is deliberately helping Sakurai Haruka, but Sakurai Haruka still has an abnormality that will affect the world, and Shimizu must make sure that she will not be stimulated, especially since this man named Miura Subaru is her fiancé.

"I'm really sorry, I was indeed the first one to come to this position today."

Subaru Miura smiled politely again.

"Whoever arrives first may not be yours."

Subaru Miura seemed to finally hear the different meaning in Shimizu Mi's words.

"But I don't think your school has a rule that fixed people have to sit in fixed positions during meetings. Since it's ownerless, shouldn't it be first come first served?"

Subaru Miura extended his hand, indicating that there was another empty seat opposite, but Shimizu Miki showed no intention of giving in.

"If you want to play house on a first-come, first-served basis, can you go somewhere else?"

"Playing house?... If that's the case, you can't play it alone."

Miura Subaru seemed to be unable to hold back and chuckled twice.

However, Shimizu Miki does not agree with this statement. In fact, some people can play the role of his entire family by themselves.

However, Subaru Miura looked at Shimizu with a smile from beginning to end. After a long time, the person being looked at would inevitably feel uneasy.

This is the pressure that such a straightforward smile creates.

There is nothing in the world more vicious than this kind of gaze that looks straight at the other person.

As Japanese people are extremely concerned about what others think, they would definitely feel very uneasy in this situation. Unfortunately, Shimizu Mi is not Japanese. He was not shaken by the attention he paid to the eyes of those around him, nor did he intend to make concessions because of this.

According to the scheduled time, the meeting should have started by now, but the meeting room was completely silent, as if everyone's voice had been drained away, and there was a long period of blankness.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the leaves outside the window rustled.

In the quiet conference room, the rubbing sound of leaves traveled particularly far, like water drops falling into the water, creating ripples.

"President Miura."

The one who calmed down the ripples was Ayase Kotone who was sitting in front.

"Since you are the student council president of Zhenbeitian High School and you are here to attend the meeting on behalf of your school today, I think you should sit in the first row. This will be more conducive to the progress of the meeting."

Ayase Kotone was sitting in the front row, so she could face all the members and it was more convenient for her to express or accept opinions.

Since Ayase Kotone's words were well-reasoned, Miura Subaru had no reason to refuse.

He held up his glasses with his middle finger, looked at Qing Shuijian deeply, then stood up and moved to the front seat with his backpack.

Time in the conference room started to flow again after Shimizu Mi and Sakurai Haruka exchanged seats and sat between her and Amamiya Iori. Out of concern, everyone lowered their voices and continued their previous conversation, and the voices now sounded like waves of tides.

"Okay, first of all, I have to state that since this cultural festival is the first time that the two schools have co-hosted it, the venue has been chosen to be Kaikawa Ikusei College. When we co-host it again next year, Makoto High School will be the main venue again."

Ayase Kotone's voice is unexpectedly clear and sounds so soft that your ears seem to melt. It is also as addictive as the lyrics of a current pop song, so it easily stays in a corner of your consciousness.

"In addition, the expenses for organizing and operating the cultural festival will be funded by Mahokuda High School, so everyone can hand in the operating fund form that their classes are going to submit for application to President Miura."

As soon as the topic of funding came up, the eyes of the executive committee members of each class sparkled. After learning that all the funds were sponsored by Mahokuda High School, even the way they looked at Subaru Miura changed a lot.

——The one who provided the funds for this event should be Makitada High School, not Miura Subaru. He was just a representative of the school, not a funder, and he may not have even sponsored a penny.

Although Shimizu Mi really wanted to say this, the others didn't seem to care who paid, except Sakurai Haruka, who had been holding his hand with their fingers interlocked under the table since just now.

On the other side, Amemiya Iori was also restless. She took off her indoor shoes and rubbed Shimizu's feet gently with her feet.

Qingshuijian endured the itchiness from both sides at the same time, trying his best to keep his facial expression calm so as not to be noticed.

"Okay, now we need to assign tasks. I have written a brief description in the meeting materials, please refer to it. We will start deciding the work groups in five minutes."

Everyone followed Ayase Kotone's instructions and looked at the meeting materials they had received earlier.

External publicity, personnel coordination, material management, health care, accounting review, record keeping...

Qing Shuijian felt a headache looking at these complicated documents.

However, don't be scared by what's written on paper, a cultural festival held by high school students can't be that troublesome.

In the first week, with the graduation of Ayase Kotone, Amamiya Iori took over her job as student council president.

At that time, Qingshui Jian also saw her hosting various activities of all sizes, but they were not so exaggerated. It can be seen that to put it bluntly, this is just a routine work of the school, and as long as they follow the laid track, there will be no problem.

Shimizu quickly scanned the meeting materials, trying to find the position that seemed to have the least workload.

The first step is external publicity. You don’t need to read the instructions to know that it is just to draw promotional posters, and then visit nearby shopping streets one by one, and ask the store owners to post the posters on the wall.

Although this job looks simple, I have to walk several streets a day and negotiate with each store one by one. Sometimes I may even be kicked out of the store if I encounter someone with a bad temper, so I skip it.

Property management probably involves managing the classrooms used by each class, the rental of desks, chairs, benches, etc., and the transportation of equipment.

It's so tiring to carry all these things, so I'd better skip it.

As for health care, this is the coordination of all work related to food applications.

If it's about health and sports, Shimizu would consider it... Anyway, forget it.

Accounting audit, as you can tell, is a job that involves money. Once there is a problem with the accounts, Qingshui Jianke cannot bear the responsibility, and it will be very troublesome.

Money is a terrifying thing, especially the huge cost of hosting such a large event.

However, the more money you spend on an event, the better. Just like those movies that claim to have cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions of yuan to make, nine out of ten end up losing money. Especially the live-action version of an animation, who would want that kind of thing?
Qingshuijian was not complaining, but after seeing this, he really didn't see any position suitable for him.

In this case, all he could do was record the chores.

Shimizu glanced at the job description and found that the job only required taking photos on the day of the event.

Anyway, there was no schedule for that day, so it was a good way to kill time.

After coming to the conclusion, Qingshuijian stretched a little and looked at the situation of others.

Some people are relaxing, some are playing with their phones, and some are chatting. It seems that everyone has almost decided what kind of job they want to do.

"Then, let's continue with the previous topic. Please give us your ideas for this cultural festival..."

The executive committee members of each class raised their hands in twos and threes and expressed their opinions.

The meeting went better than expected.

In a meeting chaired by Ayase Kotone, where almost no one raised any objections, a domino effect would immediately occur as long as the discussion leaned towards the affirmative side.

In this way, the long meeting finally came to an end.

However, what surprised Shimizu the most was that during the entire meeting, Amamiya Iori and Sakurai Haruka hardly expressed any opinions. Except for "interacting" with him under the table from time to time, they were basically concentrating on operating their mobile phones the entire time.

Are they addicted to the Internet?
Although Shimizu Mi would occasionally play mobile games, but looking at the frequency of their synchronization, could it be that they had entered the same copy?
The most outrageous thing is that Amamiya Iori and Sakurai Haruka both chose to publicize this work to the outside world.

Although Shimizu Miyabi felt that with such beautiful girls around, the store owners would be more approachable, but he felt uneasy about their tacit behavior as if they had made an appointment in advance.

What are they planning to do?
In Qing Shuijian's heart, a vague uneasy premonition followed him like a shadow.

And this premonition, as always, became a reality as expected.

On the night two days later, Shimizu faced the biggest challenge of his life in his two lifetimes.
