Chapter 493. Inuyasha Viewing, Opening (Part 2)
The Principal of Shuchiin Academy had a slightly different reaction than Shirogane Kei. He was dazed at first, then surprised, ecstatic, and finally moved to shock, immediately letting out a booming, hearty laugh.
Lately, Advanced Nurturing High School had suddenly leaped over Shuchiin's head, becoming the most noble, excellent, and, in the eyes of the general public, the strongest high school in all of Japan.
...And if it weren't for the fact that Sobu High—aside from producing a Hikigaya Hachiman—couldn't quite compete with top-tier schools in other aspects, it would have taken first place long ago, leaving Shuchiin to drop even earlier.
The Principal had been indignant about this, desperate to reclaim his ground. He didn't just want glory; he wanted to prove that his school was the highest, the strongest, and the best!
Alas, Ayanokouji's boost was far too massive. Furthermore, when the Healer Hero world was broadcast, the "opening strike" of the school-wide Crows-style brawl had been a massive eye-catcher, convincing parents worldwide that Advanced Nurturing was the strongest school in both academics and martial prowess.
Even with his climbing abilities, the Principal had been powerless to turn the tide... but now, the ladder to heaven had appeared so unexpectedly and abruptly!
It didn't matter which member of the Student Council was about to transmigrate; from this moment on, the Student Council members were the Principal's ancestors, and he was their obedient grandson.
"Hahahaha! All teachers and deans, hurry to the gates with the security guards and block the path to the Student Council! I will not allow any student to disturb my star student!"
The aging Principal suddenly experienced a surge of renewed vitality, reaching a heroic state where he could devour ten pounds of meat and draw a three-dan bow. With his spirits high and a wave of his hand, he led the "ready-to-die" teachers to set out immediately.
And as he expected, the students of Shuchiin had indeed broken into an uproar, everyone wanting to rush into the Student Council room to bask in the glory.
...All of them were blocked by the fierce Principal. Consequently, the several members inside the Student Council room remained in a state of utter bewilderment for a considerable amount of time.
Out of seven billion people on Earth, how did it come down to their tiny Student Council?
They looked at one another, too surprised to remain calm.
Fujiwara Chika put on her detective hat, striking a Detective Conan pose to break the atmosphere: "The last two transmigrators were both male, and we have two boys here. Therefore, there is only one truth: the protagonist this time is you, President!"
"Hey!"
Ishigami Yu was filled with grief and indignation. "Am I just not worth it? That's too much, Fujiwara-senpai! You could at least pretend to consider it!"
Chika Fujiwara clicked her tongue twice and patted his shoulder with schadenfreude. "Be self-aware, Ishigami-kun."
Shinomiya Kaguya and Miko Iino also nodded, in total agreement with Fujiwara Chika.
"Look at the difficulty of the first two worlds, then look at how incredible Hikigaya-senpai and Ayanokouji-senpai are. Ishigami, what would you do if you transmigrated? With your level, you probably wouldn't last twenty minutes in any world, right?"
Miko Iino glared at him, scolding him mercilessly. "Even if President Shirogane isn't as monstrously powerful as those two senpais, he's at least not bad. Can you compare, Ishigami? You can't. You don't have the ability, you know?"
Ishigami Yu's body sank lower and lower. He twitched his mouth, unable to refute a single word. Actually, he knew this too. He understood that the reason everyone insisted it must be President Shirogane was for his own good; they didn't want a useless otaku like him to go and die for nothing. He understood their kindness.
But could they maybe be just a little bit more tactful?
Shirogane Miyuki, after his heart skipped a beat, fell into a state of disorientation. Everything after transmigration was an unknown; he didn't know if this was a blessing or a curse.
If he truly was the one transmigrating, then from this moment on, he would possess the qualifications to marry Shinomiya Kaguya.
The Shinomiya family would absolutely welcome him with open arms.
But then he thought of Hikigaya Hachiman's various excruciating deaths, and then of Kiyotaka Ayanokouji having his "hot dog" stepped on by a creepy guy and being raped for three months...
Regardless of which fate it was, he couldn't quite accept it.
Shinomiya Kaguya was also in a state of inner turmoil... but regardless of what they thought, the future had already begun to play.

「"Yeah, Ishigami is right. That blogger TAKI-kun is indeed too biased."」
「In the Student Council room, Shirogane Miyuki spoke unhurriedly. "Setting aside Hikigaya-kun's countless virtues we can learn from, Ayanokouji-kun's thick skin and straightforwardness are also quite good."」
「At this point, he looked at Shinomiya Kaguya with deep meaning, his true intentions finally showing.」
「"Like Ayanokouji-kun, if he wants to sleep with someone, he says it directly. Very straightforward, right? Following that logic, if everyone could learn this virtue and say who they like directly, it would definitely be great. Saves time and effort. Don't you agree, Shinomiya?"」
「"Ara, that makes sense, President." Shinomiya Kaguya narrowed her eyes slightly, counter-attacking after her defense. "Then could the President give us a demonstration? For example, is there someone the President likes?"」
「Shirogane Miyuki frowned imperceptibly, then broke into a fake laugh. "Haha, of course I do! I really like Ishigami, who can share my workload, haha."」
「Ishigami Yu, who was playing games on the side, couldn't help but show a moved expression upon hearing this.」
「However, he was throwing coquettish glances at a blind man; his President Shirogane wasn't paying attention to him at all.」
「Shirogane and Shinomiya exchanged a wave of offense and defense, both slowly letting out a breath, feeling a bit of lingering fear—they had almost let the cat out of the bag.」
「Both wore skin-deep smiles, cold glints flashing in their eyes... President/Shinomiya, why be so stubborn? It's about time you go down, lose this battle of wits, and obediently confess to me!」
「As usual, a thrilling battle lurked beneath the surface, unnoticed by Ishigami, Fujiwara, or Iino.」
「Today's result: A draw.」

"Ah! So the President and Kaguya-san are in a mutual secret crush!?"
In the Student Council room, Fujiwara Chika was first dumbstruck, then filled with indignation. She slammed her fist onto the table with a thud.
"I, the Great Love Detective of Shuchiin, actually failed to discover such an obvious secret? This is impossible! This is too much! You both... you both kept it from me! You've ruined my detective dreams, wahhhh!"
Seeing Chika-senpai crying, Miko Iino immediately became like a loyal dog, glaring at the two culprits who caused Chika-senpai to wail.
As for Ishigami Yu lying on the sofa, his handheld game console fell to the floor with a clack. His entire being was radiating massive shock:
"The President likes a flat-chested, terrifying monster with a scary personality like Shinomiya-senpai? Is this logical? Is this scientific?
I can't accept this!!"
