Nagumo Miyabi Leaves in Anger.

The two's argument was forced to a halt due to the intervention of the Student Council President.

Nagumo Miyabi looked at Akasaka Ryunosuke with displeasure and warned him again.

"If you dare to make a move on Asahina Nazuna, I'm not done with you!"

It was Akasaka's turn now, and he waved his hand dismissively.

"Got it, got it. As long as you don't make a move on my Ichinose, I won't make a move on your Childhood Sweetheart. Deal?"

"You!" Nagumo Miyabi was rendered speechless. He knew full well that the other party was deliberately provoking him, but he didn't dare to gamble.

His relationship with Asahina was already strained due to his own entanglement with other girls.

It was entirely possible that Asahina Nazuna might actually start dating this kid out of anger, so he really couldn't afford to gamble. He genuinely liked Asahina Nazuna, not just in a casual way.

Akasaka also understood that the other party had tacitly agreed, and would likely stop bothering Ichinose Honami from now on. Although his methods were a bit despicable, they were effective.

Before leaving, Nagumo Miyabi glanced at Akasaka Ryunosuke. "We'll see about this!" he said, leaving a parting threat before striding away.

Akasaka watched him leave with a blank expression, his mind wondering what to eat for dinner tonight.

He paid no attention to Nagumo Miyabi's threat.

After all, with the script in his possession, he didn't take anyone else seriously, except for the variable that was Ayanokoji.

To borrow a phrase from a certain powerful figure, who would stoop to arguing with a child? It would be beneath him.

Just as Akasaka was pondering what to eat for dinner, Ichinose Honami walked up to him gently, tugged at his sleeve, and said with some concern:

"Akasaka, aren't you worried about the threat Nagumo-senpai just made?"

Akasaka waved his hand indifferently. "No need to worry. He can't stir up any trouble in front of me."

"If he really dares to make a move on me, I'd welcome it. I'm still short on quite a few points."

Ichinose looked curious. "Akasaka, are you really short on Personal Points?"

"You seem to be so frugal every day. Are you facing some kind of trouble? If you need points, I can lend them to you."

After speaking, Ichinose took out her Personal Mobile Terminal, indicating that she would lend her Personal Points to Akasaka.

What a lack of caution... Akasaka couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ichinose looked at her Personal Points, which were only 180,000. She said with some concern, "This is all my Personal Points. I wonder if it's enough for you, Akasaka?"

"As a thank you for helping me this time, I can lend you all my points. You can pay me back when you have time."

Ichinose placed her Personal Mobile Terminal in front of me. I clearly saw the balance displayed within, which was a staggering over 2 million.

Ichinose seemed to understand what I was thinking, and quickly explained, afraid of any misunderstanding.

"Akasaka, these aren't mine. They're Personal Points pooled together by my classmates, to be used only in emergencies."

"Since they don't belong to me personally, I can't lend them to you, Akasaka."

Akasaka picked up a document from the side and tapped Ichinose on the head.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Ichinose clutched her head with both hands, looking a little indignant.

"What are you doing? Akasaka, that hurt..."

"Who told you to overthink things? Am I that kind of person?"

"Huh? Aren't you, Akasaka?"

"Damn it!" Akasaka was almost angered to death by Ichinose.

Ichinose, meanwhile, playfully stuck out her small tongue, looking exceptionally mischievous and cute.

"Sigh..." Horikita Manabu, unable to watch any longer, interrupted their playful banter.

"This is an office and the Student Council. If you want to show affection, do it outside. Don't disturb my work here."

Horikita Manabu shooed the two of them away to show off elsewhere, so they wouldn't disturb him at work.

The two instantly stopped fooling around, both showing embarrassed expressions.

Akasaka signaled Ichinose to go back first, as he had something to discuss with the President.

Although Ichinose still had things she wanted to say to Akasaka, she sensibly nodded and left.

Akasaka's gentle demeanor towards Ichinose vanished instantly, replaced by a blank expression, much like Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. It was all just a facade.

A disguise deliberately put on to avoid appearing too out of place.

After all, he was already an adult. If he acted too mature, it would seem abnormal.

Horikita Manabu saw all this and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"The feeling you give off is truly terrifying, like a master strategist who has calculated everything."

"First, you used Ichinose to test Nagumo Miyabi's bottom line, so you could devise a countermeasure against him."

"Or perhaps you deliberately approached Ichinose. Are you planning to use her as a pawn?"

Akasaka let out a breath, his tone indifferent and calm.

"Horikita Student Council President, my sole objective is to make money, and I'll resort to any means necessary to achieve it."

"If you truly want to use me to help your Sister, you'll need to prepare plenty of money."

"Otherwise, I could betray you at any moment."

Akasaka looked at him with calm eyes, and Horikita Gaku met his gaze without backing down.

After a long while, Horikita Gaku was the first to break eye contact.

He had already confirmed that this person was not joking.

To make him work, he would need to offer sufficient benefits, otherwise, he could be backstabbed at any time.

Akasaka also conveyed his stance to the President.

As long as the money was enough, he could even handle the Teacher for you; he truly had the confidence to achieve all of this.

Based on his knowledge of this place from his past life, and being a heavy 2D Fanatic who had watched this anime countless times, he already had the ultimate cheat sheet.

It was as if he had an omniscient perspective, knowing everyone's next move like the back of his hand.

If he still lost after all this, his transmigration would have been in vain.

The only variable he lacked confidence in was probably Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

However... he figured as long as he didn't provoke him, it should be fine.

At least for the short term, he didn't want to confront him, as there would be no benefit.

Horikita Gaku arranged a long-term paid leave for Akasaka.

In plain terms, it was to free up his time to help his Sister, Horikita Suzune.

The reason for recruiting a Student Council member was to replace him while he was away from work for an extended period.

Akasaka didn't react much to everything Horikita Gaku did.

It was like a calm lake, without the slightest ripple.

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now, President Horikita."

The President nodded helplessly. "Go ahead. The Student Council doesn't need you right now. Don't come for a while. Just drop by occasionally to clock in and prove you're still here."

Akasaka smiled.

"You're abusing your power, President."

Horikita Gaku rolled his eyes at me. "I can only stay for another year before I graduate, so I might as well make the most of it."

"Hahaha, that's true. Then I'll be going first."

Akasaka stood up from the student council chair, preparing to leave.

Before leaving, he offered a kind reminder.

"Be careful of Nagumo Miyabi. That guy isn't straightforward at all. He'll likely stir up trouble in your final year in office, so be cautious."

Horikita Manabu merely nodded slightly in response to my well-intentioned reminder, not taking it to heart.

Seeing this, I also prepared to leave.

However, judging by the Student Council President's demeanor, he probably didn't listen. I can't just stand by and watch.

After all, the Student Council President's money is my money, and I can't afford to be careless.

I absolutely cannot let Senpai Tachibana need to spend a large amount of points to be saved, like in the original story.

After all, I have a share in the economic losses caused.

It looks like I'll have to step in then...
