[Vol 1]Prologue 1: Just a normal day.
...
15th November 2086, Estart University, Student Council Room.
...
"President, can I quit now?"
The boy asked as if in extreme desperation. The newly bought trendy over-ear headphones are hanging around his neck, and the long bangs cover his left eye. The whole person seems to exude a gloomy aura. Yu Ishigami's tone is tired after staying up late, facing the President's exclusive seat.
Rousin, who was processing the documents, asked,
"Reason?"
He didn't look up, the hand holding the pen kept jumping on various documents.
Ishigami Yu looked at the pile of compressed data on his laptop, his face was a little stiff.
"President, who was the last accountant of our student union?"
"Oh, that was Chika Fujiwara, is there a problem?"
"She is a...ah..No, no problem."
Ishigami wanted to complain about which idiot had classified these materials so inhumanely, but since she was the eldest lady of the Fujiwara group, Ishigami Yu felt that it would be better for him to restrain himself a little.
Otherwise, he might find his body in Estart Bay tomorrow.
"Again President, can I quit?" Ishigami Yu requested again.
Rousin slowly raised his head and looked at Ishigami Yu with his dark eyes. He asked in a calm tone,
"Ishigami, Do you have any complaints about me? Or am I treating you harshly? Please feel free to elaborate, so that I can improve myself."
As if struck by an electric current, Ishigami Yu felt a little numb in his body.
Averting his gaze slightly, he wanted to say that he didn't want to stay in this place, but under the gaze of these eyes, he seemed a little speechless, just like when he was saved by this man some time ago.
That day, it was these calm eyes, this man, like a god, rescued himself from the darkness.
( If I ran away again wouldn't what the president did is nothing but to save a failure? )
Ishigami silently clenched his fists and finally made up his mind.
"I see, I will remain in the student council."
----------------------------------------
Seeing that Ishigami's eyes changed from uneasiness and dodging to seriousness, Rousin retracted his gaze and let go of some worries.
Rousin likes Yu Ishigami and, doesn't want him to continue to be affected by his past and fall into darkness.
Beyond that, at this point he really needs Ishigami now.
...
Looking at the pile of documents that were still stacked, Rousin also had a headache.
(I didn't expect to accumulate so much work, and It seems i have to stay here on the first day of officially taking over the duties. )
( When Secretary Fujiwara comes l must reprimand her. At least she should take her responsibility seriously.)
Right at that moment a vigorous voice came from the gate of the student union, and with a bang, the gate was pushed open.
"Good morning!~"
With long pink wavy hair, a bow decoration on her forehead, her body was quite feminine, and a girl with an innocent smile jumped in.
"President! The secretary of the student union, Chika Fujiwara, came to report!"
Fujiwara Chika reported with a "serious" face and salute with her right hand.

"President, what do I have to do today? " She asked with an enthusiastic smile.
Just looking at Chika's cute expression, the thought of reprimanding her went out of the window.
Rousin put on a warm smile and replied, " That's right, Good morning Secretary Fujiwara, it's a nice day, haha. Actually today we don't have much work to do. I just happened to have a few movie tickets, so how about we..."
"Good morning everyone." A cold voice abruptly interrupted him.
When Rousin saw the person who rudely interrupted him, he almost bit his tongue.
She only glanced at Rousin for a moment then focused on Chika ,
" Ms. Fujiwara I hope you didn't forget about your duties last day."
She reminded Chika about her unfinished work from the last day.
"Hey, there seems to be a fire in our class, I have to go and have a look."
Without hesitation, Chika turned to flee.
"Secretary Fujiwara, since you have taken up the position of the student council, you must take the responsibility."
A voice without emotional fluctuations stopped Fujiwara Chika, a pair of slender but very powerful palms resting on her shoulders, making her unable to turn around.
Also wearing a girl's uniform, compared to the youthful and lively Fujiwara Chika , this girl looks more noble and cold, with a pair of wine-red eyes showing indifference, and her tone is not polite at all.
"No! Kaguya is a bad guy, and the class is still waiting for me to save it!"
"It doesn't matter, the president is here. If the class is really on fire, he'll decide what to do. Just stay and discuss with the president how to save the class."
"Ahhhh! Help! President save me from oni Kaguya!"
Regardless of Fujiwara Chika's struggle, she escorted Fujiwara Chika into the student council like a prisoner and closed the door.
(That's Kaguya Shinomiya for you. )

Rousin wasn't that dumb to speak out against Kaguya. He was sure that if he really tried to stop Kaguya, it would not end well.

Yes, it would be great to gain favour with the prime minister's daughter, but offending the Shinomiya family in the process is a big nono.
...
In another place, Fujiwara Chika with tears in her eyes took a large stack of documents that Isigami Yu handed her and quietly moved towards the corner.
...
"Ah~..Morning, good morning, Vice President."
Rousin tried to act as normal as possible, even though he was nervous, he was able to perform proper etiquette salute and greeting.
"Good morning, president." Kaguya Shinomiya responded perfectly. Her fake smile didn't show a single bit of emotion. She was simply perfect.
(Sigh~Still no progress ha.. Well is there any room for progress in the first place? )
As the eldest lady of the Shinomiya Consortium, Kaguya's ability was naturally far above that of commoners like him. So despite being the vice president of the student council she's the one unofficially in charge.
Rousin can't help but to keep looking at her. It wasn't out of lust or anything like that but it was just to admire her perfect beauty.
Her long hair, red eyes, slim body, porcelain skin, thin lips...
Rousin instantly realized that he was looking at Kaguya's face in a trance, and quickly looked away.
( Oh damn this puberty!.. )
"I'll go make tea first."
Saying that, without waiting for Rousin to answer, Kaguya walked quickly towards the direction of the tea set. She was so quick that Rousin didn't notice the slight blush on her face.
-{A while later}
The room was eerily quiet. Though there were four people there was pin-drop silence in the room.
Rousin wanted to apologize to Kaguya for his earlier rude behaviour. But he couldn't muster enough courage to talk with her, thus creating an awkward atmosphere between them. Kaguya had her poker face as usual but it was mental torture for Rousin.
As if to break this atmosphere someone knocked on the door. "Come in!" Rousin almost shouted.
(Finally, I get to boss around ah! and look at that it's a beauty!)
The girl that came in wasn't polite at all. She asked immediately in a displeased tone,
"What do you think you're doing? "
"What do you mean Mis Rin Tohsaka? " Rousin replied with a bitter smile. He got the feeling that more trouble is coming.
[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1013684494991101954/1093891359083081738/12231310-66a178d1-198b-42d0-b950-ba543c0dfc70.png]
"Are you gonna give me some explanation why l can't use the experimental lab? If not then I'll file a lawsuit against you. So answer quickly. "
Before Rousin could answer a blonde beauty walked in without permission. She was even ruder towards him and asked in a haughty tone.
"Who do you think you are? "
"Ms Erina Nakiri as the lady of the prestigious Nakiri family, that's not the proper way to talk to someone. " Rousin responded with a calm authoritative voice.
"I don't need a lecture from the likes of you. What's your problem with me? " She didn't seem to care.
"What do you mean? "
"You know exactly why I am here. Why suddenly my department is under your supervision? "
"So what? Ms Erina, you are still the head of your department. I am just supervising it."
"Then all the other position heads are being dismissed? And is it true you are going to allow new members to join without any assessment?"
"Ms Erina your department has the highest spending budget in the entire academy. Yet it doesn't allow any students to participate in it. So naturally, i took control of it for the benefit of the students. " He explained calmly.
" No one can participate in it because they are not qualified. And besides, it was a donation from the Nakiri family in the first place. You need the permission of at least one family member to change the previous arrangement. " Hisako, the assistant beside Erina replied curtly.
"I asked Ms Alice for this. And she already agreed. " Rousin didn't back down, he has other plans in mind.
"Ugh.. So she did it. "(Erina)
"So are you gonna give me the same reason why you blocked me from using my experimental lab? " (Rin)
"Ms Tohsaka you are currently experimenting with dangerous magic, so some scrutiny is given. You were under my supervision before but you never complained. You only seem to have a problem when I am in charge. "
Rin glared at Rousin. It was clear she didn't like it.
(I am sorry my goddess, but you left me no other choice.)
"Though I am hurt by the fact our relationship came to this, but the presidential order is an order. Defying my order is equivalent to denying the will of the students who elected me. "
"Enough with the sophistry. We all know how you got elected. So, cut the crap and tell me your real intention. "
(Ahh!.. This tsundere!) Rousin almost bit his tongue. He didn't want to remember that horror story.
...
"Knock knock " Someone was knocking on the door.
"Come in! " (Pwe...)
A black-haired beauty came in. She paused for a moment to look at the other girls, then came straight to Rousin and bluntly asked,
"What do you want? "
"What do you mean Ms Suzune Horikita? I didn't ask you for anything."
(Come on not another one! )
"You don't need to pretend. You were obviously biased towards us in the exam.
If you think you can gain favour with my family by doing that then you are mistaken. It would be more beneficial for you to associate with my brother instead. "
" You are definitely mistaken Ms Horikita. Your team won the contest fair and square. As an examiner, I was completely unbiased in the process. I think someone misled you to think like that. "
[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1013684494991101954/1048483198411218974/afb259c9ea26e2f6580670a2954d5978.jpg]
As Rousin spoke he could see Kaguya's expression in the corner of his eyes. Kaguya rolled her eyes as if saying, "Are you serious? "
Horikita continued, " Look I don't need your help nor that I ever asked in the first place. I want to win by my abilities. I will not return the favour. "
" I don't get what you are trying to say Ms Horikita. I didn't do anything outside the rules. " Rousin pretends to be ignorant.
Then the door knocked again.
"Umu~.. Can I come in? "
"Yes, come in. "
"Am~ I am Kato Megumi. I am here for the assignment. Nice to meet you. "
"Yes! you are welcome please come here "
[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1013684494991101954/1039627288939089980/1667936852966.jpg]
(Finally, someone isn't here to blame me. And my goddess is cute.)
Rousin also set aside others to listen to her.
" I think there are some problems with my assignment. " She was clearly uneasy.
"Please elaborate. I will help you as much as I can."
"Umu~ my assignment is... To go on a date with Mr President. I am sure it's probably a mistake. But the receptionist-san said it was personally drafted by the president... Hmm..I know it's probably some error, So I am here to clear any misunderstandings. "
..
The moment she said that all the girls looked at Rousin. They stared at him with disgust.
(Dammit! How can I be so stupid to think it'll work?
No! Ishigami, not you too! It was a momentary loss in judgement. The moment I saw Kato Megumi's profile I couldn't help myself.)
"What? This is a misunderstanding. This is a grave error for the student council. I apologize, I am deeply sorry for the trouble. "
Rousin skillfully sifted the blame on the student council.
As if to make things worse, Rousin's phone rang. It was from Nezuko. He thought it was impossible but decided to pick it anyway. As he thought it wasn't her.
"Hey~did you just block me or something? You weren't picking up my phone, so I had to use the emergency. Did you abandon me? " Asuna spoke in a cheeky tone.
"Is Nezuko okay? Where is she now?"
"Hmp..She's with me ok? She's fine. But I am not okay, last night was intense. You were very forceful "
Rousin made some distance from others.
Normally it wouldn't have been a problem. But Asuna wasn't talking normally and he felt a weird feeling talking with a girl while being surrounded by other girls, inner guilt perhaps?
"That's good. Now just go home and don't leave. I am on official duty so we'll speak later. "
"Yaa official duty? Really? Your only duty seems to be surrounded by girls and I know you are busy and don't want to miss a second but Just answer my question it'll not take too much time. "
"Okay, what is it? " Rousin wanted to end this conversation as soon as possible.
"Where is our pclc10? I can't find it. I want to experience it again."
(When did you start being so cheeky? Asuna you should be the responsible type. Why does she sound drunk? If anyone hears it, it'll cause misunderstandings. )
"You called me just for that? And what is 'ours'? Whatever it's in my room. "
He immediately cut the call. He didn't want to give her any chance to say something more embarrassing.
Then he noticed the location of the call. It wasn't Asuna's home but it was from a location he knew very well.
(Damn you Yukino! What's her problem with me? I am sure she's the one who set it up. )
But Just as Rousin feared Kaguya heard certain parts of the conversation.
"President you will care to explain who this Asuna is? and what were you doing last night? I thought you were with Yukino for club activities"
Although she asked that with a smile Rousin could see a black aura permeating from her.
"I.. I can explain. " Rousin also found the girls were observing him. He felt like standing in court.
(What do I need to explain?)
(God please save me! I am under siege!)
As if God heard his prayers the bell rang, notifying everyone to go to their class.
(Finally! Salvation! )
"Sorry ladies. I need to attend the class. As the school council President I can't set a bad example by being late. I'll see you again later. Thank you. "
After that under the angry eyes of the girls Rousin ran away with Ishigami without looking back.
"Ah~ that was a close one. I am safe for now." Rousin sat at his table, exhausted.
Rousin felt his world was very harsh towards him. This world demands absolute perfection. As someone who isn't a native of this world sometimes he struggles to fit in.
He couldn't help but to say,
"Man~ my daily life as the student council President is not going to be peaceful. "
