Amane walked through the corridor and arrived in front of the Student Council office door.
The last time she came here, it seemed to be when things were in chaos due to the dispute with Class C. She hadn't expected that by the time she returned, she would already be a part of the Student Council. This world really is quite strange.
"Did I come to report to Horikita Manabu when I became a disciplinary committee member?"
Amane suddenly realized an extremely serious problem. After Nagumo Miyabi appointed Amane as a disciplinary committee member, she had always felt it was a cushy job, so she met with Nagumo and chatted briefly, but she had forgotten the most crucial thing.
Reporting to the student council president!!!
No wonder in her impression, disciplinary committee members in other schools would have armbands or similar insignia, yet the Student Council had never given her any, not even a Student Council ID. So, were these things supposed to be picked up by oneself?
Oh no. Could it be that Horikita Manabu called her over to talk about her not reporting in? Would it be better to slip away now?
Amane squatted at the office door, hesitating for a long time. In the end, she decided to go in and meet with Horikita Manabu. After all, Horikita Manabu couldn't eat her. As for being criticized... it was highly likely unavoidable. *Sob, sob, sob.* But fortunately, Amane felt her skin was thick enough that it shouldn't be a big problem.
Knock, knock, knock.
Amane gathered her courage and knocked on the door a few times.
"Please come in."
Hearing Horikita Manabu's voice, Amane twisted the doorknob. As soon as she poked her head in, she heard Horikita Manabu's warning.
"Be careful. I had to pay for the repairs for the doorknob last time out of my own pocket. If you break it again this time, you'll have to pay for the previous repair costs as well."
Upon hearing that she would be fined for breaking this thing, Amane quickly moved far away from the door and kicked it shut with her toe.
Her skillful movements left Horikita Manabu stunned.
He must be surprised by how skillful her movements were, right? Hehehe.
Amane walked up to Horikita Manabu and sat down directly.
Horikita Manabu seemed to have grown accustomed to her unconstrained behavior and decided to act as if he hadn't seen it. After all, it might not be good for his heart if he had to nitpick every single thing.
"Would you like something to drink?"
"I want tomato juice."
"...How would there be such a thing here? Tomato juice is only in the vending machine, it seems. However, it's said that the taste isn't very good, and some have already proposed replacing it with a better-tasting beverage."
"Ahhhhh!!! No! Tomato juice is super delicious! It's just that those guys don't know how to appreciate it! That must be it!!!"
Amane hurriedly spoke up to stop him.
Right now, there are only two or three vending machines that still have tomato juice. If the Student Council plans to replace it, it will definitely be wiped out completely! It definitely will! As the last supporter, Amane absolutely cannot compromise!
"But it's said that sales are only one can per day..."
Horikita Manabu looked up at Amane, whose eyes were shining, and chose to give up on continuing this topic. Although there was a loyal fan of this drink, beverages with sales that low really had to be replaced. However, saying this in front of a loyal fan would be too cruel; he'd better tell her later.
"In short, there is no tomato juice. What else would you like to drink?"
"Orange juice or something is fine, right? Carbonated drinks are also okay."
"None."
"Eh? This is the Student Council office, how come there's nothing here? It seems the Student Council's work is quite dull. *Ahem*, please give me a cup of coffee."
Horikita Manabu's gaze changed subtly. Noticing this, Amane immediately switched to a well-behaved mode.
"I'm sorry, there is no coffee either."
"Then barley tea is fine... You have that, right? Tea is also okay."
"..."
Horikita Manabu looked at Amane calmly, without any expression, but that lack of expression was his answer to Amane. Amane couldn't imagine that a Student Council wouldn't even prepare tea bags. You know, over at Nagumo's, they even had a refrigerator.
By the way, where's the refrigerator?
Amane looked around, but surprisingly didn't find any sign of a refrigerator. Wherever her gaze landed, there was only a water dispenser sitting quietly in the corner.
"Don't tell me there's only water? Then give me a glass of water."
"I knew you liked to drink that too. Wait a moment."
"..."
Amane felt speechless. Does that count as her wanting to drink it? It was clearly just because there was only water, right? Come to think of it, as the student council president, wouldn't it be more stylish to drink tea or coffee?
However, being able to see a water dispenser, which could be called an antique, in this place was also a rather rare thing. Usually, they shouldn't even need such a thing, right?
Horikita Manabu drew a cup of water and handed it to Amane.
"Thanks. But since you only have water here, President Horikita, why didn't you just ask me if I wanted water?"
Amane touched the disposable cup with her lips. It was cold? And it didn't taste like mineral water at all!!!
Did this guy actually use a purified water jug to draw water from the tap and then put it here in the office? And it wasn't even for the convenience of heating it up. This person, Horikita Manabu... is too frugal.
"Because I respect your choice."
"Huh?"
"I'm just respecting it, I didn't say I actually had it here."
Really wanting to thank Horikita Manabu, Amane's fists clenched tightly. Looking at that face with a faint smile, Amane wished she could punch him in the face to vent her anger.
"Speaking of which, Amane, what were you doing squatting at the door? Are you having a stomach ache? The school corridor is a place where relieving oneself is prohibited..."
"Shut up!!! I would never do such an embarrassing thing! And how did you know I was squatting outside?"
Amane asked loudly with a flushed face.
Could it be that this hateful guy installed some micro-camera on her? That would be too disgusting, right? And he even said she was... That's really going too far!!! No wonder Suzune insisted on warning her not to make a move. How could she not make a move?
Just as Amane intended to strike with a heavy fist to teach the voyeur a lesson, Horikita Manabu turned the computer on the desk around. The screen displayed the school's security footage.
One of them was exactly the doorway.
"So it was... surveillance..."
Amane helplessly pulled her feet back from the desk, then picked up a tissue and quickly wiped the footprints clean.
"Were you planning to do something excessive to me just now?"
Horikita Manabu rested his chin on his hands, putting on a scrutinizing expression. Feeling somewhat guilty, Amane waved her hands repeatedly to deny it.
"How could that be? It must be that you are too tired, President Horikita. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Wishing you a smooth workday. Bye-bye~"
Amane waved her hand and turned around, wanting to escape from this place that almost caused her social death.
"Come back. I haven't finished speaking yet."
Horikita Manabu's voice came from behind. Amane's body suddenly stiffened, and in the end, she could only return to the chair bit by bit.
"Then what other instructions do you have, President Horikita?"
"Have you written your membership application?"
"Eh?"
