Suzune vs Arisu

This chapter was inspired from:
Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

"This is my treat, eat as much as you want."

Our table was filled with expensive and luxurious food, ranging from meats, and vegetables to desserts that cost around thousands of points. I can't imagine wasting so much points on stuff like this as a simple treat, which shows how many points the student council president had saved up from the past two years he's been here.

"By the way, Ayanokouji..."

Here it comes.

"Are you interested in joining the student council?"

I knew it.

After hearing her older brother's invitation, the younger Horikita cannot help but get taken aback and be surprised.

"Hey, Sakayanagi, did you plan this?"

"Fufu, I have no idea what you're talking about, Ayanokouji-kun."

"Nii-san, why do you want to invite him to the student council?"

"You should know this by now, Suzune. Ayanokouji is not a simple student. I find his potential to be very well suited for the student council."

Back then, the younger Horikita had a hard time approaching her brother, let alone strike a conversation with him. But judging by their atmosphere, I can tell that she now feels comfortable around him. She's not nervous nor scared by her brother's presence anymore, unlike back then.

"I agree with you, Kaichou."

"So, what do you say, Ayanokouji?"

"I... I'm not fitting for any student council position. I think there are other students out there who deserve it more than me."

All I want is a normal, peaceful life. Away from trouble and other bothersome things.

Unlike other students who are aiming for any higher position in an institute, I just don't have any ambition to reach the top. Knowing my personality, there's a big chance that that opportunity will just be wasted on me.

Another thing is, even if I did devote my life serving as a student council member, the benefits of it wouldn't even be useful to me since I'll be returning to the white room. It's no use thinking about it.

"Is that so? I understand, you must have your reason for that, huh?"

Sakayanagi suddenly clings to my arm.

"Don't say that, Ayanokouji-kun. Instead, work in the student council with me. After that, you can help me become president during the election."

Her eyes sparkled. I can feel the younger Horikita's intense glare aimed towards us.

Also, the nerve of this woman to add another demand.

"Speaking of president. Suzune, you're planning to join the election, right?"

"Y-Yes, I am. But since Sakayanagi-san and Ichinose-san are both my competitors, it's going to be a difficult battle."

"Not to mention. You're also classmates with Ayanokouji. What do you think of his everyday behavior?"

I'm begging you, Horikita. Please lower my evaluation, and show them reasons why I shouldn't become a member of the student council.

"He's.... extremely lazy and irresponsible!"

YES! GO, HORIKITA!

"Ayanokouji-kun always gets average scores and doesn't strive to improve himself. Which is why I don't think someone like him is fitting for any student council position."
