Ayanokouji Kiyohira was skilled with computers and finished his work quickly.
He put the documents aside, stretched, and asked with a smile, "Miharu Taki Senior, I've finished my work here. Is there anything else I can help with?"
"That fast...?" Miharu Taki Sakura was slightly surprised.
Entering documents wasn't complicated, but it was time-consuming. She had previously asked other Beautification Committee members to do similar things, but they would slack off and work extremely slowly. What she could finish in an hour, they would drag out for an entire afternoon, and Ayanokouji Kiyohira worked even faster than her.
At this moment, Miharu Taki Sakura felt a renewed appreciation for his talent.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira alone could do the work of several of them. If Ayanokoji could become a member of the Beautification Committee and help her, it would be great. With Ayanokoji, she didn't know how much effort she could save.
Although she thought this, Miharu Taki Sakura still smiled and shook her head, "No need. Helping me finish these is already a huge help. My part of the work requires my personal approval and stamping, so you can just rest on the side."
She had already asked Ayanokouji Kiyohira for so much help; it would be too embarrassing to even hand over her own duties to him.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira walked behind Miharu Taki Sakura and found that she was processing applications from various casinos.
Some casinos wanted to replace their equipment, some wanted an additional space to expand, and some wanted to request support, needing external personnel to enter and exit the school... At a glance, these casinos were all eager to create a big spectacle during this Ryōran Festival.
"Miharu Taki Senior, you're also very busy here," Ayanokouji Kiyohira said sympathetically.
The Beautification Committee had too many things to manage, from casino rent and renovations to the approval and management of external personnel... Every detail, big or small, required the Beautification Committee to worry about it.
"It's nothing, really. Who would have thought that the Prime Minister would suddenly be assassinated during the Ryōran Festival, increasing our workload significantly? Actually, it's usually quite relaxed, with not much work."
Although Miharu Taki Sakura explained this, her face still showed signs of fatigue.
Normally it was fine, but during the Ryōran Festival, she had to process various applications in the office in the afternoon, and during the day, she also needed to inspect these casinos one by one to confirm if they truly needed these applications, preventing anyone from taking advantage. She basically had no personal rest time.
This kind of work should have been done by her Beautification Committee members, with each person checking a few casinos, which wouldn't take much time. But now... all these tasks were burdened upon her, forcing her to do everything herself.
After this Ryōran Festival, no matter what, she must make Aoi withdraw his people and personally select a batch of useful members.
This time, no matter what he said, she could no longer show mercy.
Even if he raised objections to the Miharu Taki Family, she had to do this.
Miharu Taki Sakura made up her mind, she could no longer let Mibuomi Aoi marginalize her.
Even she needed time to rest.
Miharu Taki Sakura didn't let Ayanokoji continue to help, and Ayanokoji didn't leave immediately. Instead, he sat directly opposite her, silently helping her categorize the tasks she needed to handle next.
Miharu Taki Sakura saw it all and felt a warmth in her heart.
Although Yagyu Ine was a spy sent by Mibuomi Aoi, she was unaware of the transaction between Ayanokoji and Mibuomi. At this time, Ayanokoji hadn't done anything out of line, so she could only watch from the side and had no reason to stop Ayanokoji from helping.
To be honest, she was also very puzzled by Mibuomi Aoi's command.
She was also surprised, not understanding why Mibuomi Aoi would transfer everyone else out except her. Wasn't this increasing Miharu Taki's workload and only adding to her dislike?
Even she could feel Miharu Taki Sakura's attitude towards Mibuomi Aoi becoming colder while working.
However, she unconditionally trusted Mibuomi Aoi, believing that his decisions were absolutely correct.
Although she couldn't understand, this was also part of the plan, and she didn't need to question it; she only needed to follow orders.
After a busy afternoon, a quarter of an hour before club activities ended, Miharu Taki Sakura finally finished her work.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira couldn't help but admire Miharu Taki Sakura in his heart; she could do such tedious, time-wasting work for a year.
"Miharu Taki Senior, since the work is done, I'll take my leave now," Ayanokouji Kiyohira smiled slightly, making to leave.
Having silently accompanied Miharu Taki Sakura for an entire afternoon of work, given her personality, she would definitely not just let him leave like that.
Just as Ayanokoji guessed, Miharu Taki Sakura, feeling bad, called out to him, "Ayanokoji, wait a moment! You've helped me so much today, let me treat you to a meal."
"There's no need for a meal. I told you before, as long as Miharu Taki Senior needs help, I'll be there whenever she calls." Ayanokoji smiled brightly and gently, like an innocent young boy.
This smile was so dazzling that Miharu Taki Sakura couldn't help but stare blankly.
While Mibuomi Aoi casually ordered the Beautification Committee to leave, increasing her burden, Ayanokouji Kiyohira stayed by her side, silently helping her, and asking for nothing in return when he left...
There is no harm without comparison.
At this moment, in her heart, Ayanokouji Kiyohira's proportion was gradually increasing, and her gaze towards Ayanokoji became even softer.
She suddenly remembered something, unlocked her desk drawer with a key, took out a bank card placed in an iron box, and solemnly handed it to Ayanokoji.
"Ayanokoji, this is the bank card you left with me earlier. Please take it back."
This bank card contained eighty million Japanese yen, money Ayanokoji had won from Mibuomi Aoi.
Originally, she should have challenged Ayanokoji to win this money back, but Ayanokoji always found excuses not to gamble with her.
To avoid gambling with her, Ayanokouji Kiyohira deliberately left this card in the restaurant during a meal, placing it in her hands, and refused to take it back no matter how much she urged him.
Later, Meari, unwilling to let her leave with this money, chased after her and said she wanted to gamble with her to decide the ownership of the card.
When she gambled with Meari, she also won because Yagyu Ine helped her cheat, not by her own true strength.
She felt uneasy holding this money.
