Ishigami was enjoying a brief hunt with Ryuju Momo, a senior one year ahead of him, whom he had met in the shade of a tree.
"I never knew you could do it like that, you're amazing."
"No, no, I'm not good at all."
That's a lie. This man, using his memories of playing games before he went back in time, posts boss information and hidden elements on message boards every time a new game is released...
"You're taking too long to complete the strategy. We're going to start weeding..."
He's trying to one-up everyone! Even though he's diligently studying and putting his all into club activities, and is starting to be looked upon with respect by those around him, Ishigami Yu's true nature remains unchanged. That's just how it is!IntrovertDark side
That's right... on the internet, the one who gets put down loses!
"By the way, what did you come to the high school for?"
"a..."
At this point, Ishigami remembers his original purpose. The conversation about games had become lively, igniting Ishigami's inner gamer.
"That's right, I came here to submit these documents to the student council."
"Documents? Hmm..."
Snatching the documents from Ishigami's hand, Ryuju lowered her gaze.
"...Are you a member of the disciplinary committee?"
"No, I just came as a representative."
"Okay then, I'll show you the way, so just follow me."
"Is that okay? Thank you."
Ishigami followed Ryuju, who had started walking.
"..." fidgeting
(Is that the chairman from my first year? That feels kind of strange. I have to be careful not to accidentally call him chairman.)
Trying to contain his excitement, Ishigami walked through the school building, reminiscing about the past.
"This is the student council room." *Click*
"E-excuse me."
"Well, since you've come all this way, I'll make you some tea."
"Ryuju-senpai, um...is it okay if I do this on my own?"
"Huh? ...Oh, that's right, I haven't told you. I'm the treasurer of the student council."
"picture..."
At this point, Ishigami's memories of his initial time joining the student council come flooding back.
...…
"From today, you're also a member of the student council. I look forward to working with you."
"If I can be of any help..."
"Hmm, then I'll give you this."
Ishigami receives a plate from Shirogane that reads "Yu Ishigami".
"This is..."
"Those who take on official positions should hang their nameplates on that wall over there. Ishigami, hang yours in the section for accounting."
"Yes, um... what is this?"
"Ah, that must belong to the previous person in charge. He probably forgot to take it down... He's a bit of a sloppy guy."
"Predecessor..."
(Longzhu Momo... a female student, huh?)
"I'll hold onto that for now... So, let's start with some simple paperwork."
...…
"..."
(Ah... so this is what I felt like I'd seen or heard somewhere before.)
"Here you go." *clink*
As Ishigami recalled the past, a cup filled with tea was placed in front of him.
"Oh, thank you."
"Ah, but nobody seems to mind."
"Um, where are the others?"
"I don't know, I wonder where he's been dawdling..."
"..."
(Well, you weren't just dawdling, you were playing games...)
"Huh? What is it?"
"...It's nothing."
"Tch... Seriously, where did it go..."
Suddenly, a smartphone ringtone blared through the student council room.
"Yes... Huh? I'm in the student council room right now... What? Seriously? This is such a pain... Tch, fine."
When Ryuju took the smartphone away from her ear...
"Sorry, Ishigami... I have an urgent matter to attend to. Please leave the documents on the desk."
"Is it an urgent matter...?"
"Yeah, it looks like the other student council members are gathering over there too. Ugh, what a pain."
"Well, I'll take this then..."
"Yeah, see ya."
"Yes. Thank you, Ryuju-senpai."
After saying only that, Ishigami left the student council.
"Ah, I wish I could have played the game a little longer..."
As she watched Ishigami leave, Ryuju unconsciously murmured.
Afterwards, in the student council room...
"...Sorry for calling you in so suddenly, Ryuju Accountant."
"Seriously, Chairman, I'm busy too, you know?"
"...What kind of game console are you holding?"
"Hmph..."
"Oh? That cup... Was someone here?"
"Someone from the middle school came to deliver some documents."
"Huh... Did Ryuju handle it?"
"What is it, Shirogane... Do you have a problem with something?"
"No, I'm not complaining or anything..."
"Hehe, Shirogane the secretary is surprised. After all, you, who don't even use polite language with me, the chairman, have gone to the trouble of serving tea to a guest. But to begin with... has Ryuju the treasurer ever served us tea before?"
"Hmph, why should I have to serve you guys tea?"
"Well, well, I'm also curious about the person you went to the trouble of serving tea to, but... I have a lot of paperwork piled up, so let's get this sorted out first."
"yes."
"Tch, what a pain..."
