After deciding to give up, I became popular

Okay, next is to give the president a shy expression!

She had a special training session with Hayasaka last night for this, and she believes she can pull off a perfect shy expression anytime, anywhere... but why doesn't the president even glance at the small writing on the eraser before using it and throwing it aside?

Shouldn't you at least suspect how this eraser appeared here, President?!

Kaguya Shinomiya finally couldn't sit still. If she waited for the president to take the initiative, even Ai would have been in a relationship long ago.

"Ahem, President, that eraser..."

A blatant hint! Surely the president won't be indifferent now, right? As long as he sees the name on the eraser...

So, under Kaguya Shinomiya's expectant gaze, Sou Natsukawa replied without looking up, "Oh, is it yours? Thanks, let me borrow it for a bit."

"..."

That's not the point! Borrowing it is fine, just take a look, take a look!

But the president already said that, so she couldn't just tell him to throw the eraser back... No choice, she'll have to resort to Plan B!

"Speaking of which, the student council is about to change leadership soon, President," Kaguya Shinomiya said as she stood up and slowly walked towards Sou Natsukawa.

"Yeah, that's why I've been getting busy," Sou Natsukawa nodded.

"Maybe this is our last week together, it's really worth cherishing..." Kaguya Shinomiya said meaningfully, then, as if remembering something, she put on an expression of wanting to be praised, "I happen to have a group photo of everyone here, would you like to take a look, President, and keep it as a memento?"

Transitioning to the part where she pretends to look at the group photo after creating a nostalgic atmosphere—she named this the "Secret Maneuver" plan!

But the so-called group photo of everyone is not important at all. What she wants the president to see is clearly his own photo. However, the president's solo photos circulating outside are too rare to obtain, so she had to ask Hayasaka to use computer technology to cut the president out of the group photo and make a solo picture.

Secretly collecting a handsome photo of a certain boy... doesn't this already show a girl's feelings?

Next, she just needs to wait for the president to ask her, with a shy face, if she likes him...

"Uh, it's pretty good."

However, Sou Natsukawa only looked up for almost a moment before immediately looking down again, so quickly that Kaguya Shinomiya doubted whether he had even seen the picture on her phone clearly.

"President, at least look at the picture clearly before making a comment, right?"

"..." So Sou Natsukawa had no choice but to take another look, but he immediately turned his head away after just one glance and said softly, "Ahem, Shinomiya, I know you're a confident person, but this kind of photo... you should just enjoy it privately, okay?"

"?" Kaguya Shinomiya was stunned.

Why is this different from what she imagined? Shouldn't he be asking her why she's secretly keeping his personal photos at a time like this? Why is he even advising her to enjoy it privately? Could it be that the president is tacitly approving of her fan-like behavior? He can't possibly have no feelings for her at all, right? But Hayasaka said before that the president definitely likes her a little...

Something's fishy!

Thinking that perhaps the problem was with the photo, she turned her phone around to look, only to find that the screen, which should have been displaying the president's personal photo, had turned into her private photo—she was sitting on the bed, facing the camera, with her collar slightly open...

!!!!!!

In an instant, the noble young lady, originally as cold as ice, turned into a steam princess who could only "ku chi ku chi" emit steam.

"I...will...ugh..."

"Shinomiya? Shinomiya, calm down, I actually didn't see clearly, really, I didn't see any..." Sou Natsukawa panicked and quickly stood up to comfort her.

The next moment, the student council room door was opened, and a blonde girl dressed as a maid walked in.

"Young Master Natsukawa, hello, I am Miss Kaguya's exclusive maid. I've come to retrieve Miss Kaguya, please don't worry."

She quickly took away the already crashed Kaguya Shinomiya, and bowed to Sou Natsukawa before leaving.

"Sorry for the trouble. I wish you a pleasant day at work, Young Master Natsukawa. Goodbye."

"..."

055. My Battle

"Hayasaka... Waaah... He, he saw everything..."

In the lounge, Kaguya Shinomiya cried to Ai Hayasaka, who was attending to her.

"Yes, yes, it's okay, Miss. Anyway, there's nothing special about your figure. Maybe Young Master Natsukawa doesn't care at all and will forget about it in the next second," Ai Hayasaka replied expressionlessly.

Based on her understanding of her young lady, she knows that comforting her is useless at this time. Only shifting to a topic that she cares about can heal her, and the young lady has always been particularly concerned about her figure.

"Figure... nothing special..." Kaguya Shinomiya murmured, instantly thinking of her good friend, Chika Fujiwara.

The experience of almost being suffocated when she slept over with her that day...

She's clearly about the same height as her, but weighs so much more, it must be because there's so much useless fat there, whether in front or behind...

"Waaaaah!!!"

So she was even more sad, thinking that huge breasts should just disappear from the world.

"..." Ai Hayasaka rubbed her forehead and tried to comfort her in another way.

"If you make such a loud noise again, I'm afraid Young Master Natsukawa will think some resentful woman from a secluded mansion has run out and want to come in and take a look..."

"I absolutely don't want that to happen!" Kaguya Shinomiya did react this time.

Because it's still acceptable for private photos to be exposed, but if the president sees her crying and sniveling... he'll definitely think she likes him so, so much?!

—She can't even accept having her pajama photos seen, Kaguya-san must care a lot about what I think of her? How cute~~~

She absolutely doesn't want to hear the president say that!!!

"Hey, Hayasaka, do you have any tools that can make people forget a period of memory?"

"...Kaguya-san, I'm just a regular attendant maid, not some blue fat cat who's afraid of mice, please don't make things difficult for me." Ai Hayasaka felt her anger level slowly rising.

"Frankly speaking, Miss. It's just a photo of you wearing pajamas, not your personal experience, there's no need to care so much. Besides, only Young Master Natsukawa has seen it, maybe it can arouse Young Master Natsukawa's reverie about you?"

After all, the photos were carefully selected by her, showing the young lady's charm without revealing too much, making them perfect.

Although her surface tone was very disdainful, Ai Hayasaka was still carefully observing her young lady, finding that although she had a face of shame and couldn't see anyone, she didn't seem very angry. She immediately understood that she wasn't very resistant to this matter, just temporarily unable to accept the fact that her secret appearance was seen by her crush.

That's good, which made her feel a little more at ease, and wouldn't make her feel ashamed for giving the young lady this kind of idea that would cause her to be humiliated.

"It's easy for you to say, it's not like you were the one who was seen!"

"Only you, Miss, would care. I wouldn't hesitate for even a moment!" Hayasaka retorted.

After all, she doesn't... doesn't care that much about Young Master Natsukawa. So what if she was seen?

Anyway, it's impossible for her to be as useless as Kaguya-san!

"..." Kaguya Shinomiya pouted, her face full of disbelief.

Anyway, Hayasaka will only talk about it. Last time she said she would help her get information out of the president, but in the end, nothing happened... and she even took a few days off afterwards! Making her not know how to approach the president.

Ai is the worst!

But although Ai is so stupid and so bad, her concern for her is real, and she helped her get over this hurdle in her heart. It's just that she doesn't know what the impact of reality will be.

"Hayasaka, do you think the president will think of me as that kind of... that kind of frivolous woman who likes to pose seductively?"

"Please rest assured, Miss. Young Master Natsukawa will only think of you as an idiot who can't even operate a smartphone," Ai Hayasaka retorted.

In fact, Kaguya is indeed an electronic idiot, Young Master Natsukawa should be very clear about this.

The reason why Kaguya changed her long-used flip phone to a smartphone earlier was just to be able to add Sou Natsukawa's line. Even the series of operations just now were taught to her by Hayasaka, who specifically told her not to click on other places.

Hayasaka also knew these things clearly, so she could formulate such a plan, and even predict the reactions the two would make.

She also saw that if she didn't use some strong medicine, with her young lady's potential, she was afraid that the two of them wouldn't even establish a real connection by the time they graduated from high school.

She had always felt this way since the day she realized that the person Young Master Natsukawa liked was actually her and not Kaguya-san. This idea was even more deeply rooted.

Fortunately, she is a dutiful maid who will never run away herself before serving the young lady to obtain love!

For Ai Hayasaka, Kaguya Shinomiya is not only the master she sincerely serves and the object she is loyal to, but also like a sister to her. Before Kaguya obtains happiness, she can't let her go at all and can't pursue happiness without permission.

But whenever she realizes that the process of helping the young lady pursue Young Master Natsukawa is "pushing away the person who likes her and making them like the person she cares about", she feels a stomach ache.

Seriously, she doesn't know how long she can last. She didn't know the truth at first, so she could wholeheartedly cooperate with the young lady. After knowing the truth, no matter what she does, she feels a little sorry for Young Master Natsukawa.

But she has no other choice. The young lady is the person she cares about, and she must do her best to help the young lady, unless... unless the young lady is always useless and can't capture Young Master Natsukawa, then she will have to take action for the young lady...

"..."

"Hayasaka? Are you listening?"

"Ah? Yes, I am. What are your orders, Miss?"

"You look a little strange, are you lacking rest..." Kaguya Shinomiya said worriedly, then started talking about the matter at hand.

"Speaking of which, how did you know what happened just now? I don't remember telling you..."

"Because I saw the picture on your phone when I went in to pick you up, and then deduced it," Ai Hayasaka said expressionlessly.

"Is that so... then what about my photo?"

"It was caused by your improper operation."

"Really?"

"Yes, I am very sure."

"..." Kaguya Shinomiya looked a little suspicious, thinking, could it be that she really made a mistake in operation? Could it be that Hayasaka is fooling her?

But she trusts Hayasaka 100%, believing that Hayasaka will never do anything to hurt her... Never mind, in short, she still has to abandon her cowardly emotions and continue to attack the president!

One day, she will make the president confess his love to her with a face full of love! Absolutely!

Guhehe...

Author's words on the shelves

As the title says, author's words on the shelves.

I can't imitate the words of the big shots, so this newbie will simply talk about the key parts.

First of all, after being put on the shelves, this book will be updated three times a day, with a base of 6K to 8K words. This is very important, please look over here!

There is no need to open a reward, I have no energy to update fiercely recently, and I am also afraid that you will think that I want to make money and run away, which will affect the subscription of this book, but because it is on the shelves, I have to celebrate a little, so these days I will write as much as I post, and I will not keep any manuscripts, which is a celebration.

You can watch and vote for props, of course I am very happy if you are willing to give them to this newbie, you can also keep them for your favorite authors, but it is almost the end of the month, so use them, otherwise it will be a waste (hint).

Then let's talk about the problems of this book in detail.

First of all, there has been a situation since the beginning of the book - everyone is constantly scolding the protagonist, scolding the protagonist's personality, scolding the protagonist's character, etc. The good news is that this newbie author has not been scolded much, the protagonist is the one who is scolded.

The bad news is that my blood pressure will also rise after reading it, but this is an expected situation, after all, what I wanted to write from the beginning was not - strong! invincible! The strongest! The Dragon Proud Sky male lead.

You rejected my confession! So you have a way to die! I will beat you hard in this life!

It's just that I rejected the confession, it's nothing great, for ordinary people, be sad for a while and then change the goal, for people who care about this aspect, be sad for a longer time and then come out, or it doesn't matter if you can't come out at all, who doesn't have a few thoughts, there is no need to make it very violent, what if you reject me, I will make you bankrupt in the world!

It's just a normal part of interpersonal communication, this is the point, and it's also what I want to write.

The male protagonist is an ordinary person, but he is a little bit more special than ordinary people.

In the previous life, he was in a high-pressure environment, and all he did was study, his personal freedom and social freedom were restricted by his parents, and he was constantly instilled with negative thoughts: "What's the point of you not getting first place?" "Can you sleep with this grade?" "High school friends are not good to interact with, if you have time to go out to play, you should do a few more questions at home" "Mobile phone, do you still want to play mobile phone? I will help you see the group messages if anything happens, don't use it yourself."

So he longs for friends, longs for communication, longs for recognition, and longs for change.

The originally incomplete and imperfect life has been alleviated in another world, and even has a trend of becoming better - it should have been like this, but the result was that he chose Shiina Mahiru (extremely love-deficient), Kasumigaoka Shiwa (serious personality defects, likes to be poisonous and black-bellied), Eriri (hypocritical, often attacks others unconsciously), Yukinoshita Yukino (used to being lonely, also has childhood trauma), Shinomiya Kaguya (caged bird, lacking freedom and lacking love) with such a high level of difficulty.

It's not entirely accurate to say that the male lead was attracted to the female leads because of their status. The most crucial factor was seeing qualities similar to his own in them, harboring emotions like "wanting to huddle together for warmth," "sympathy," or "longing for recognition from someone similar" towards these flawed "kindred spirits."

That's why he didn't think about pursuing Megumi or Chika Fujiwara. People like them grew up very freely. Regardless of their background, family circumstances, or personality, they have no major flaws. They are physically and mentally very healthy. Leaving aside whether they can see if the male lead genuinely likes them, at the very least, if he actually dated them, they could definitely influence the male lead and make him 'healthy.' Then this book would be over (laughs).

I have always believed that using frameworks and character settings to write the stories you like is the attitude that "fanfiction and secondary creation" should have, while simply copying the plot is completely meaningless.
