Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Hearing this question, Nightstar's gaze swept towards Kaguya Shinomiya's long black hair, and he said indifferently.

"Anyway, I didn't see it. Many of the bodies were unrecognizable."

"Killed thousands of people? Wouldn't that mean the entire Shuchiin Academy would be massacred…?"

Hearing Kaguya Shinomiya's murmur, Yui Yuigahama, as a spiritualist, suddenly had an idea.

To kill thousands of people in a short period, and in such a large Shuchiin Academy, even someone with spiritual powers would find it difficult.

"Has your school had any special events recently? Something where all the students would gather together?"

"All the students gather together…?"

Kaguya Shinomiya pondered, then suddenly seemed to think of something, and her expression changed.

"Next Wednesday… the student council president election. At that time, all the students… will be present."

"The student council president election, huh…?"

Hearing Kaguya Shinomiya say that the student council president election, where all the teachers and students would be present, would be held next Wednesday, Nightstar nodded, then said with a serious look.

"Then we need to prepare early."

Yui Yuigahama nodded slightly.

"Yeah, then I'll notify Rio and the others…"

"Don't lose the election, or it'll be embarrassing."

The girls: "…"

Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her lips, her expression complicated.

"This… what time is it, and you're still thinking about my student council election?"

"Of course, I have to think about it."

Nightstar explained with a straight face.

"Otherwise, let's not run. Since we're running, we have to win."

"Didn't you tell me that learning to accept your failures is true success?"

"I told you to learn to accept failure, but I didn't say I could accept failure. I can't accept it at all."

"It's my election, not yours…"

"That's why it's challenging."

Nightstar shrugged, a lazy, giving-up look on his face.

"If I wanted to be a student council president, Sobu High School would probably agree immediately. There's no challenge at all, so… helping you run is much more interesting."

"You're as arrogant as ever…"

Kaguya Shinomiya sighed helplessly, then changed the subject.

"However, even if the student fainting incidents can't be resolved, as long as Maki Shijo agrees to join, our chances of winning are already high enough."

To be a strong contender for this year's student council president as a commoner, Miyuki Shirogane is indeed good enough.

However, there is also an external factor that cannot be ignored.

Maki Shijo and Kaguya Shinomiya are both competing for the position of student council president, and those from wealthy families know that this seemingly ordinary election actually means a direct challenge from the Shijo branch family to the Shinomiya main family. The students have already begun to choose sides.

If it weren't for this, Miyuki Shirogane's popularity would not be enough to compete with Kaguya Shinomiya.

But now, as long as Maki Shijo joins, then almost all the students from wealthy families, that is, more than 95% of the students at Private Shuchiin Academy, will choose to support the two young ladies from the Shijo and Shinomiya families, as well as Chika Fujiwara, who comes from a prestigious political family with considerable influence in the political world.

Such a collaboration of three people running for election is rare even in the history of Private Shuchiin Academy, a lineup that can be called a dream team. The difficulty for Miyuki Shirogane to win against Kaguya Shinomiya, Chika Fujiwara, and Maki Shijo combined in the election is almost the same as defeating Nightstar in an exam.

There is absolutely no such possibility.

"Hayasaka, Maki Shijo, has she shown any abnormal behavior?"

Hearing Nightstar call her by that name again, Ai Hayasaka no longer had the mind to continue refuting, and could only pout to show her dissatisfaction, before replying.

"Maki Shijo's behavior is normal. However, she is, after all, a genius with the same abilities as Miss Kaguya. It's possible that she noticed my tracking, so she didn't show any abnormalities."

Nightstar smiled and teased.

"You don't have much confidence in your tracking skills."

"Isn't it because of you?"

Ai Hayasaka retorted unhappily.

"If I weren't always instantly discovered by you, I wouldn't be so unconfident in my tracking skills."

Nightstar looked indifferent, only looking at Kaguya Shinomiya, and said softly.

"What do you think? Would Shijo betray us?"

"I…"

Faced with this question, a rare hesitation appeared in Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes, as if she didn't know how to answer.

According to the education she received since childhood, she couldn't trust anyone, including her personal maid and good friend, Ai Hayasaka.

She couldn't trust anyone. Everyone was just a tool to be used. This was the philosophy that her half-brother, Unyo Shinomiya, had instilled in her since childhood, and it was also the philosophy of everyone in the Shinomiya family.

Not to mention, the Shijo family originally harbored ill intentions and was in a competitive relationship with the Shinomiya family. Maki Shijo was an enemy.

But this time…

"I…"

Kaguya Shinomiya took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and slowly opened her mouth, her voice very soft, but very firm.

"I believe Maki Shijo wouldn't do such a thing."

"I see…"

Nightstar nodded noncommittally.

"We'll know soon enough whether she'll betray us or not."

…

At the same time, inside the Shijo family's residence.

Unlike Kaguya Shinomiya, Maki Shijo was not an illegitimate daughter. The situation among the Shijo family's heirs was not as complicated as that of the Shinomiya family.

So, although the Shijo family is a branch family and the Shinomiya family is the main family, if we're just talking about Kaguya and Maki, the latter might actually have a higher status.

"Kaguya actually did something like that...?"

Shijo Maki's eyes had completely lost their light. Recalling what Yozora had said during the day, she seemed to still be in shock.

Sex? Unmarried pregnancy?

Isn't that too outrageous?!

Shijo Maki originally didn't believe it, but after making some inquiries, she learned that some time ago, a handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, the same age as Kaguya, had entered the residence where she lived. And he didn't sneak in; he walked in through the front door in broad daylight.

She didn't even need to guess to know it was Yozora.

Also, during the winter break not long ago, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai disappeared from the residence for a period of time. According to reliable sources, the mistress and her servant went to a remote island for a vacation.

Adding to that, Shijo Maki had personally witnessed Shinomiya Kaguya and Yozora leaving Shuchiin Academy together today.

Combining all these things, even if she hadn't believed it before, she had to believe it now.

Shinomiya Kaguya and Yozora... seemed to really be in that kind of relationship.

But... unmarried pregnancy?

Shijo Maki knew that Shinomiya Kaguya was originally an illegitimate daughter, and among all the children of the Shinomiya family, she was the least favored. If this matter were to spread...

Forget inheriting the Shinomiya Group, she would probably have her surname stripped and be directly expelled from the family, right?

Although Shijo Maki is naive in some ways and has a somewhat awkward personality, overall, she is very smart, as smart as Shinomiya Kaguya, and can certainly realize the value of this news.

To say nothing else, if those heirs of the Shinomiya family were to learn of this matter, they wouldn't need to do anything special; they could simply spread the word and directly destroy Shinomiya Kaguya, eliminating a competitor.

And as for the Shijo family... as long as it's handled properly, they can definitely profit from it, even beyond imagination.

Shijo Maki held her phone, her face showing a conflicted expression, her fingers aimlessly swiping on the screen, thinking about what she should do. But after several minutes, she finally pressed the lock screen button, turned around and lay on the bed, burying her head in the soft pillow, her legs swinging as she muttered to herself.

"I really can't bring myself to do something like that to Kaguya... I'll just pretend I don't know..."

...

Sunday night, in Shinomiya Kaguya's room.

"School starts again tomorrow..."

Shinomiya Kaguya lay on the bed. Although the room in the Super High School Apartment Building was far less luxurious than her room at home, for some reason, Kaguya always felt much more relaxed staying here than living at home.

This was the first time in her life that she had this feeling of being able to completely relax, not having to worry about anything, and being able to completely let down her guard.

"Yeah... tomorrow..."

Hayasaka Ai's eyes also showed a hint of worry. She gently patted Kaguya's shoulder and slowly said.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will definitely protect you."

Hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya showed a warm smile.

"Yeah, I believe you."

"By the way, there's something I want you to accept."

Hayasaka Ai took out a delicate box and handed it to Shinomiya Kaguya, saying with a smile.

"Let's call it an early celebration gift for your successful student council president election."

"A gift?"

Shinomiya Kaguya took the box and said softly.

"Can I open it and take a look?"

"Of course, it's a gift for you."

"Eh? This is..."

Shinomiya Kaguya opened the box and found that inside was a red ribbon.

Hayasaka Ai stroked Kaguya's soft, long black hair and explained with a smile.

"Although I think your hairstyle is also very beautiful, after becoming the student council president, I suggest you tie a special hairstyle. By the way, if you tie a special hairstyle, maybe you can attract someone's attention, like Yozora-kun..."

"Eh? I..."

Just as Shinomiya Kaguya was about to explain, Hayasaka Ai sighed slightly and interrupted.

"Don't be stubborn, do you think I don't know your true thoughts? Anyway, accept this gift."

"Yeah... I'll accept it."

Shinomiya Kaguya gently stroked the red ribbon in the box, raised her head to look at Hayasaka Ai, and said with a smile.

"Then, after I become the student council president, please help me tie a special hairstyle."

Hayasaka Ai nodded, also revealing a rare smile.

"Yeah, it's a deal."

...

In the blink of an eye, it was Wednesday afternoon.

"It's today..."

In the backstage preparation room, facing the upcoming student council election, even Shinomiya Kaguya, who had an extraordinary mental fortitude, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

She raised her right hand and stroked her left cheek. After this psychological suggestion, her mood instantly calmed down, and the slight feeling of nervousness disappeared as if it had never appeared.

This did not make Shinomiya Kaguya feel pleasantly surprised.

She just glanced at Yozora sitting there, chatting with Fujiwara Chika, Hayasaka Ai, Shijo Maki, Yukinoshita Yukino, and others, pursed her lips, and realized that her psychological suggestion only lost its effect when the object was Yozora.

He... is special.
