It had been a week since the Kessoku Band's official debut performance, and Uchiha Ryo's month as an exchange student had just come to an end.
Standing in front of the Shuchiin main gate after a long time, Uchiha Ryo looked at the Disciplinary Committee member still on duty at the gate.
"President Amakusa, I'm back."
Amakusa Shino turned to look at Uchiha Ryo. "You came just in time. My shoulders are sore from arriving at school an hour early and stopping those guys who don't wear their uniforms properly."
Uchiha Ryo: "So?"
"Come over here and massage my shoulders! That's a president's order."
"....."
At this moment, Fujiwara Chika and Yukinoshita walked into the school gate side by side. Uchiha Ryo stepped forward and stopped them.
"Wait a minute."
Fujiwara Chika: "Ah, Uchiha-kun is back at school. By the way, today is the student council election. Do you want to join the student council too?"
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "I'm used to being free and unrestrained. Even if I joined the student council, I'd probably be the one slacking off the most. If Shirogane doesn't mind someone slacking off, it wouldn't hurt to join."
"But I do have a question for you. Fujiwara-san, do your shoulders usually get sore?"
Fujiwara Chika: "Hmm? Well.... sometimes when I stand for a long time or after exercise, my shoulders do feel a bit sore."
Ryo nodded and then looked at Yukinoshita.
"What about you, Yukino-san?"
Yukinoshita: "Me? Although I'm not very good at sports, I usually pay attention to rest, so my shoulders usually aren't sore."
Uchiha Ryo turned to look at Amakusa Shino.
"So, President Amakusa, how could your shoulders possibly be sore?"
Amakusa Shino stared at Fujiwara Chika's terrifying twin cannons, then sighed helplessly.
"Damn it.... Even though I'm the senpai, I'm the senpai...."
Yukinoshita followed President Amakusa's gaze and also saw those shocking things. She then glared at Uchiha Ryo and led the bewildered Fujiwara Chika into the school gate.
Uchiha Ryo threw up his hands. He was clearly stating a fact. But what's wrong with being small? Small is cute too.
Speaking of which, it had been a month since he had returned to the classroom. Class 1-B of Shuchiin. When Uchiha Ryo walked into the classroom, the first thing he saw was Shirogane Miyuki writing furiously.
This kid really loves to study. But unfortunately, I'm back, so you should just obediently go back to being second.
Putting his books on the desk, Uchiha Ryo looked down and saw a certain cat lying on his seat.
"...."
"What's the meaning of this? This is my seat, not your resting place. Please leave gracefully, okay?"
Enyun-chan looked up at Uchiha Ryo, then jumped off the chair and ran into Chitanda's desk.
Shirogane Miyuki smiled. "Um... Uchiha, actually, while you were away, Enyun has been lying here every day. At first, the teacher was afraid a cat would affect class discipline, but ever since the principal announced Enyun's official student status, she's been squatting here."
It? A cat? Enyun-chan has become a student at Shuchiin, and I, the owner, didn't even know?!
Subsequently, Shirogane Miyuki explained how Enyun-chan became the school cat step by step, and that the principal even allowed a cat to participate in the school sports festival as a student.
Even more ridiculous was that in this afternoon's student council election, there were four candidates for president, and Enyun-chan was actually one of them.
Shirogane Miyuki really hadn't expected that despite working so hard! In the student council election predictions, he could only narrowly beat a certain cat who did nothing.

Okay, very impressive! Although it was unlikely, Uchiha Ryo suddenly thought about what would happen if Shirogane Miyuki lost to a cat in the final election?
.....
At noon, the members of the Classic Literature Club gathered in the Shuchiin gymnasium. Amakusa Shino, as the head of the Disciplinary Committee, was responsible for maintaining order, while the others followed Uchiha Ryo to cheer for Shirogane Miyuki.
After all, Shirogane Miyuki was also a member of their Classic Literature Club. Now that a member was running for student council president, they naturally had to come and cheer him on.
Sitting in the audience, Chitanda Eru opened the newspaper club's newsletter. This afternoon was the election for the student council president. And the candidates were....
Class 1-B - Shirogane Miyuki, Class 1-B - Enyun, Class 2-A - Hongo Hayato, Class 2-A - Kazeno.
Hayasaka Ai ate chips while leaning towards Chitanda Eru.
"The two senpais from the second year, one is in the top three academically in the second year, and the other is a genius of the sports clubs, the Kazeno who led all the second years in the sports festival..... Will Shirogane-kun be okay?"
Fujiwara Chika reached into the bag of chips in Hayasaka's arms and grabbed a handful. "Although Hongo-senpai has good grades, I heard he's not very famous, and he's quite reclusive...."
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded. "Mhm, then Shirogane-kun's biggest rival is probably that Kazeno-senpai."
Amakusa Shino walked over. "You guys, this is the gymnasium used for speeches at Shuchiin. How can you eat snacks? Confiscated!"
Hayasaka Ai looked down at the bag of chips that didn't have much left. "Here, President Amakusa, there's still some left."
Amakusa Shino took it and poured it all into her mouth. "This is a formal occasion.... don't eat snacks.... mmm, pretty tasty."
Uchiha Ryo, sitting beside them, suddenly stood up. "You guys wait here. I'm going backstage."
Amakusa Shino: "Only candidates and supporters are allowed backstage."
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "I am one...."
Watching Uchiha Ryo leave, Fujiwara Chika frowned. "But isn't Shirogane-kun's supporter Kaguya-san?"
Yukinoshita: "Why is Shinomiya-san supporting Shirogane-kun?"
Hayasaka Ai: "I heard that Shinomiya-san isn't interested in being student council president, but she has her eye on the vice president position, so if she helps Shirogane-kun, he promised her a vice presidency."
Fujiwara Chika held her head high. "And me, and me! Shirogane-kun promised I could be the secretary~ Do you guys plan to join the student council? If Shirogane-kun wins the election, he can decide on the other spots in the student council!"
Yukinoshita and Chitanda weren't interested in the student council. Amakusa Shino said she had actually run for president but wasn't elected, so she couldn't be bothered to join the student council.
Hayasaka Ai didn't really want to join the student council. She didn't want to be with Kaguya every day.... Anyway, once Kaguya joined the student council, she would have more free time to find Uchiha-kun.
Fujiwara Chika thought for a moment. "But I heard Shirogane-kun say that he plans to give the position of student council general affairs manager to Uchiha-kun, and let him be a nominal member of the student council."
Eh? Is Uchiha-kun joining the student council! Hayasaka Ai hesitated a little.... But the only females in the student council were Lady Kaguya and Fujiwara Chika.
Although Fujiwara Chika had high attack power, her personality was too chaotic, so she probably wasn't a big threat. As for Lady Shinomiya.... Heh! No threat at all.
Hayasaka Ai was very reassured.
