"What you wanted to tell is that you plan to transfer the position of Student Council Secretary to Katsuragi Kouhei, right?"
Horikita Manabu wasn't led by the nose by Shiki Natsu. He rephrased Shiki Natsu's 'selling' and 'trading' the position as 'transferring'. After all, 'transferring' the secretary position sounded better than 'selling' or 'trading' it.
Shiki Natsu nodded and didn't continue to press the issue of Horikita Manabu and Nagumo Miyabi. At least, from the current situation, it seed impossible to pull Horikita Manabu into his camp.
In a way, these siblings were surprisingly similar. Hmm, surprisingly stubborn. Of course, Horikita Suzune was much easier to deal with than Horikita Manabu.
"Alright, I understand. I will report this to the school again."
Horikita Manabu waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to continue the conversation with Shiki Natsu.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. President."
Shiki Natsu nodded and was about to get up and leave, but he was suddenly stopped by Horikita Manabu.
"Wait. I've answered your questions. Now it's my turn to ask."
Horikita Manabu looked at Shiki Natsu with great seriousness.
"Hmm? What does the President want to ask ?"
Shiki Natsu looked at the student council president with so surprise. Was he planning to ask about Horikita Suzune? But... Horikita Manabu's attitude in the Student Council office didn't seem to show much concern for Horikita Suzune.
Of course, this was a family matter. Who was to say the Horikita family didn't like to express their feelings this way? Especially after hearing Horikita Suzune say, "I've been alone since kindergarten," it seed this family had so significant problems.
"When did you and Suzune et?"
Horikita Manabu looked at Shiki Natsu. Back in the Student Council office, Horikita Manabu couldn't figure out their relationship. If it was good, this guy should have spoken up when he ignored Horikita Suzune (How dare you ignore Suzune!). But Shiki Natsu showed no intention of speaking up.
However, it wasn't right to say they had no relationship, either. After all, Horikita Suzune would never have co to find him with a stranger, especially since Horikita Suzune didn't even dare to face him alone.
"On the day of the opening ceremony, we took the sa bus to this school."
Shiki Natsu thought for a mont and decided not to ntion the 'pervert' incident, so as not to make Horikita Manabu, her brother, lose face.
After Horikita Manabu left this school, he might tell Horikita Suzune's mother back ho, and she might cry over her daughter being a pervert!
"Is that all?"
Horikita Manabu frowned, clearly not expecting their relationship to be so simple. That description didn't even make them sound like classmates.
If things continued like this... how could Horikita Suzune survive in society? Without any reliable partners, how would she fight?
"Does the President think we're a couple?"
"....."
Hearing Shiki Natsu's shaless reply, Horikita Manabu was speechless. No matter how much he misunderstood, he wouldn't think the two were a couple, would he?
"Mr. President, you do care about Horikita, don't you?"
Shiki Natsu chuckled lightly. He had thought Horikita Manabu didn't care at all, but he hadn't expected him to expose himself like that. In that case... as the intelligence expert Shiki Natsu, he naturally couldn't let any bit of information go. Plus, with his photographic mory, he was simply invincible.
"Looking after my little sister is a brother's duty."
Horikita Manabu didn't try to hide it, at least not in front of Shiki Natsu. From the mont he asked the question about Horikita Suzune, everything was already clear.
"I see. So, does the President have any plans? After all, Horikita is in Class D now. It won't do if she stays like this, right?"
Shiki Natsu stretched his back. Sitting for so long had made his body a little stiff.
Hearing this, Horikita Manabu fell silent. He was well aware of the situation and very much wanted Horikita Suzune to change, but... he couldn't do it. If he could, Horikita Suzune wouldn't have beco this way.
It was precisely because he was her brother that he couldn't do it.
So....
Horikita Manabu's gaze fell on Shiki Natsu. He couldn't guess this guy's thoughts at all. Perhaps he could bring a new change to Horikita Suzune. Of course, he didn't know which direction that change would be.
There were too many uncertainties.
"That's right. So I will advise her to drop out later."
Horikita Manabu spoke, his tone devoid of any emotion.
But Shiki Natsu could see that this was a lie. In reality, he wanted his sister to grow in this school, didn't he?
After all, Horikita Manabu was the student council president of this school, so he naturally recognized its value and hoped his sister could grow here as well.
"A bit dishonest, Mr. President. You don't want her to drop out, do you? If you want to intervene, that's no problem at all. It'll just cost a little money and your permission."
Shiki Natsu looked at Horikita Manabu, his eyes full of amusent.
A fee... is this guy really that obsessed with money?
Shiki Natsu couldn't help it either. Things like dating all cost money; he couldn't go without it. And now, as luck would have it, the student council president needed help. As the president, he should have a lot of money, right?
"What do you plan to do?"
Horikita Manabu didn't agree right away, instead asking what Shiki Natsu planned to do. If his motives were impure, he would never allow Shiki Natsu to get close to his sister.
"Simple. First, beco her friend. I think... Mr. President, you also hope your sister can find reliable partners, right? After all, Horikita has been alone since kindergarten."
Horikita Manabu's brow furrowed slightly. He could imagine the circumstances under which Horikita Suzune would say sothing like that. Did she really think that would make her seem strong?
Shiki Natsu watched Horikita Manabu's pensive expression and didn't interrupt, giving him ti to think.
"How confident are you?"
Horikita Manabu looked up at Shiki Natsu. The confidence on Shiki Natsu was a bit too dazzling; it was an aura that could only be exuded by soone with absolute self-assurance.
"One hundred percent."
Shiki Natsu's light golden eyes held an unquestionable confidence.
How truly arrogant. One hundred percent confident. Horikita Manabu felt that Shiki Natsu was severely underestimating his sister.
"This is no simple matter. One sester. If you can help Suzune make three friends she genuinely acknowledges within one sester, I'll give you one million personal points."
Horikita Manabu was willing to put down a huge stake for his sister. One million personal points was no small amount, even for the student council president.
"Deal!"
