Two days have passed since the Classic Literature Club's task was updated to finding [Hyacinth].
After all, Kazeno-senpai was unwilling to say more, so they had to investigate one by one centered on Kazeno-senpai.
Anyway, Hyacinth was highly likely to be a classmate of Kazeno-senpai last year. In this case, just going to the Student Council to look through the records could narrow down the target to within thirty people.
Then, after excluding the members of the Literature Club and students with poor grades, the identity of [Hyacinth] seemed to have appeared before everyone's eyes...
Shirogane Miyuki rubbed his chin. "Choosing among these few people... Uchiha, what do you think?"
"Hehe, I should have thought of it earlier... So it was him."
"Hah? You already discovered it! So fast, who exactly is it?!"
Uchiha Ryo pointed to the seating chart of Kazeno-senpai's class last year, then turned his head and pointed to the gold pendant on Shirogane's clothes.
"The work was clearly published in Shuchiin, but no information can be found at all! Moreover, in this era of strong copyright awareness, even if the person agreed to let others register and publish on their behalf, it's impossible for the Student Council to have no investigation information at all."
Shirogane Miyuki's eyes widened. "You mean?"
"[Hyacinth] hid too well, so well that no information related to him can be found at all, as if he had completely separated himself from The Legend of Devotion."
So in a place like Shuchiin, who is qualified and capable of concealing all this?
Student Council... Shirogane Miyuki looked down at his gold pendant symbolizing the President.
"Shuchiin second year, former President Nobunaga! Also Kazeno-senpai's classmate last year! In this academy, there are few who can be called geniuses! The former President's talent really fits [Hyacinth]."
...
Shuchiin Flower Arrangement Club, Nobunaga turned around to look at the juniors who came to visit.
"Mn, you are right, I indeed wrote it. Any other questions?"
Former President Nobunaga nodded and admitted the truth that he was [Hyacinth], as if saying something commonplace like "I had fried eggs for breakfast today". It seemed that the investigation of Uchiha Ryo and others these past few days had no meaning in his eyes.
Shirogane Miyuki looked at the senior who handed the Student Council President position to him, and suddenly felt an inexplicable anger.
Perhaps... the current Shirogane finally understood Kazeno's feelings when facing Nobunaga.
"Senpai, do you know about Kazeno-senpai?"
"Mn? Of course, he is a very important friend of mine. Isn't he the captain of the Rugby Club now?"
Shirogane Miyuki looked serious. "But Senpai, do you know why he gave up his favorite literature and chose rugby instead?"
Former President Nobunaga turned around and continued arranging flowers. "Everyone has the right to choose. As a friend, I don't seem to have the right to interfere with the path he chooses, right?"
"But..."
Nobunaga chuckled. "Anyway, I see he is quite happy now, isn't he? Precisely because he led the Rugby Club to win a high school championship, he became the captain. Very impressive!"
Shirogane Miyuki gritted his teeth. "What about you, Senpai? Clearly more suitable for President than me, but gave the position to me. Clearly wrote that novel so well..."
"Shirogane-kun."
Nobunaga interrupted Shirogane Miyuki again, speaking unhurriedly.
"Just like I said just now, I have no right to interfere with his choice. Similarly... others have no right to interfere with me. I was interested in writing at that time, so I wrote a book. I was also interested in being the Student Council President, so I chose to join the Student Council."
"But now, I have no interest in the President's power and writing anymore, so of course I give up."
"Just like Uchiha-kun, clearly showing physical fitness beyond ordinary people, why doesn't he have the idea of becoming a sports student to participate in sports competitions? He can do it, but he is not interested, that's all."
Shirogane Miyuki fell into silence.
Uchiha Ryo wanted to say something, but found he couldn't refute.
With great power comes great responsibility. Uchiha Ryo couldn't judge whether this principle is correct or not. Without considering obligations, if a person has the ability to do something but doesn't do it, is he really a villain for failing expectations?
Not really. There are very few truly good people and villains in this world; most are ordinary people. Usually choosing to go with the flow, only baring fangs for self-protection at critical moments.
President Nobunaga was not wrong. That The Legend of Devotion which failed readers' expectations might just be a crescent moon that can never live through the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Really troublesome... It seems I am not qualified enough as this President. I thought of everything too idealistically." Shirogane Miyuki laughed at himself.
The two returned to the Student Council room and saw Ishigami Yu on the sofa.
"Senpai, did you find him?"
"Mn, found him, unfortunately it's useless."
Ishigami Yu nodded. "President, actually you understood the result before going, right? Then why still?"
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "Because Shirogane-kun is such a stubborn person. Just like Kazeno-senpai who still helped publish even after getting the manuscript, even if he guessed the ending, he wanted to try."
Ishigami Yu tilted his head and thought. "Like peeing outdoors against a strong wind, knowing you might wet your pants but still going to pee?"
"About the same... Hey hey Shirogane! Don't be down. Want to go out and relax this weekend?"
Shirogane Miyuki lowered his head even more... "Kei is helping the Shinomiya family with accounting recently, but they don't pay daily, so I can't decline my weekend part-time job."
TL;DR — No money!
Ishigami Yu also looked down at his phone. "Although I have nothing to do on the weekend, I'm sorry, I want to lie in bed playing with my phone plugged in, and live a day of being fed."
TL;DR — Slacking off~
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "Is that so? Then forget it. Because Chitanda said she wanted to play with water once more before autumn comes."
Playing with water again? Shirogane Miyuki thought of the powerlessness of his cramp in the sea. He swore he wouldn't go into the sea easily in this life!
"I don't know the specifics either. Anyway, they said it has nothing to do with swimming and the like, just simply playing with water."
Uchiha Ryo indicated that since you guys aren't participating... then he must participate!
...
Weekend, Chitanda family's suburban mansion. Because of Chitanda's "Rich peasant? Landlord!" family, the size of this yard is really too suitable for... playing with water guns.
That's right, the cause was Chitanda Eru wanting to play with water for the last time before the end of summer, so she gathered a group of people and wanted to divide into three groups for a water gun fight.
Group 1 —
Hoshino Hinata: "Go go, I won't lose!"
Shirosaki Hana: "I only came hearing there was cake, why a water gun fight?"
Himesaka Noa: "Hmph hmph, even against big sisters I won't admit defeat. Besides, being small has advantages!"
Tsurumi Rumi: "What a coincidence, I was also forced to participate. After all, Big Sister Eru's gaze is really impossible to refuse..."
Group 2 —
Chitanda Eru: "I prepared various water guns for everyone~ Pick for yourselves."
Yukinoshita Yukino: "Why do I have to play such a childish game... Forget it, I'll go crazy with you guys."
Hayasaka Ai: "Just playing with water guns is boring. Want to add some punishments and rewards?"
Goto Hitori: "Who am I? Where am I? Why was I dragged over by Hayasaka-san?"
Group 3 —
Uchiha Ryo: "Is your number division slightly a bit... unequal? Why am I alone?"
Enyun-chan: "Meow... (It's two)"
