Deal with Hoshinomiya Chie.

I decisively refused Hoshinomiya's request.

It conflicted with my Deal with Chabashira Sae, unless the person in front of me offered a price higher than Chabashira Sae's, enough to compensate for my 8 million loss.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Hoshinomiya, as someone from Class D, I live as a dog of Class D and die as a dog of Class D. I will never betray the class."

Hoshinomiya wasn't too surprised by my refusal. She held up three pinky fingers and wiggled them.

"2.1 million Personal Points, deal or no deal?"

Akasaka, who had just been acting righteous and vowing not to betray the class, hesitated...

Akasaka pushed up his non-existent glasses. "Well... actually, it's something we can discuss."

Hoshinomiya Chie...

"You really are obsessed with money, aren't you?"

"You have no right to say that, Teacher. Since you can offer such an astronomical price of 2.1 million, you must have been eavesdropping outside when Teacher Chabashira offered me 2 million, right? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"

Although I asked it as a question, I was already quite certain that this teacher had been eavesdropping.

Hoshinomiya admitted it decisively.

"Wow! You're quite something, student! If only you were in Class B, how about it? Want to consider switching? I'd welcome you anytime~"

I decisively refused the teacher's invitation.

"Sorry, I live as a dog of Class D and die as a ghost of Class D. I will never betray the class."

Teacher Hoshinomiya tilted her head cutely. "But you clearly seemed tempted when I offered you 2.1 million just now, didn't you?"

"Ahem, nonsense! How could I have?!"

"A mere 2.1 million to buy me off! You need at least 9 million to compensate for the 8 million I was about to get, and for my losses."

Hoshinomiya Chie smirked.

"You might not be able to get that 8 million."

"Don't underestimate Class A and Class B, little Akasaka."

"Even if you're outstanding, you're still just one person. You can't possibly shake an entire class."

"In this school, one person's power is always limited."

"It's much simpler and more cost-effective to cooperate with me and bring down your class, which is already known as the worst, together."

Facing Teacher Hoshinomiya's suggestion, I understood that she made a lot of sense, but I just didn't want to listen because there was no benefit for me.

I looked at Teacher Hoshinomiya before me, and then recalled the Deal with Chabashira Sae, which gave me a bit of a headache.

I wanted to get paid by both of them, but their requests conflicted. What should I do?

I had to find a way to get paid by both sides...

Akasaka Ryunosuke thought for a moment, then asked Hoshinomiya, "How much do I have to do to get the 2.1 million from you?"

Facing my question, Hoshinomiya's lips curved into a strange arc, and she slowly told me.

"I want you to cause trouble in your own class, so that their Personal Points drop below 100 next month. If you can do it, I'll give you 2.1 million Personal Points~."

Hoshinomiya playfully wiggled her fingers, but I wasn't listening. My gaze turned serious as I looked at her.

"That's too big a price. It would make me the disgrace of my class. Do you think I'd do it?"

Seeing my reaction, Hoshinomiya nodded understandingly. "That's true. After all, you'd be going against your class. If you don't agree, there's nothing I can do."

Akasaka quickly raised his hand to stop her. "No! That's not what I meant."

"I mean... you have to pay me more."

Hoshinomiya Chie...

In the end, the two of them reached an agreement and signed a Contract in duplicate, each keeping one copy.

It clearly stated that if Class D's Personal Points dropped below 100 next month, I would receive 2.1 million Personal Points.

Akasaka wanted an advance payment, but unfortunately, she wasn't as easy to fool as Chabashira Sae. She insisted on paying only after I succeeded, which was truly frustrating. I had no choice but to agree.

After all, the Contract was signed. Most importantly, it was for the 2.1 million. As for the Contract with Teacher Chabashira, I'd think of another plan. There were loopholes I could exploit to get paid by both sides without conflict.

I hurried to the Student Council and gently knocked on the door. Tachibana Akane's sweet voice came from inside again.

"Coming!"

Tachibana Akane opened the door and led me in, complaining as she did. "Why are you so late? You're already late on your first day in the Student Council?!"

Tachibana Akane put her hands on her hips and leaned forward, looking at me displeasedly. But I felt that Tachibana Akane looked even cuter this way.

Facing her question, I quickly explained.

"Our class Homeroom Teacher called me to the office, so it took a little time. Besides, I didn't take that much time, only about half an hour. And I already informed the President beforehand."

I looked at Horikita Manabu, who was still working. Horikita Manabu stopped what he was doing and nodded, acknowledging my explanation without saying a word, and continued with his work.

Horikita Manabu and I had already exchanged contact information. When the teacher called me over just now, I had already explained the situation to him.

Tachibana Akane realized she had been rash and quickly apologized to me.

"Sorry, I didn't know you'd already greeted the President. I'm truly very sorry."

Facing the apology from the cute junior senpai, I said it was fine and sat back down in my chair, ready to work.

Today was my first day on the job, so I couldn't be careless. Although 100,000 points weren't much to me now, even a mosquito's leg is still meat. If I saved these 100,000 points, it would be enough for half a year's living expenses...

Akasaka picked up his pen and documents and began to work.

Having been accustomed to being a workhorse in my past life, this amount of work was a piece of cake, completely without any pressure.

Tachibana Akane saw that I had entered the zone so quickly and nodded in satisfaction, then turned back to continue her secretarial duties.

At Kōtō Ikusei Gakuen, class time is from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM.

Student Council work hours are from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM, ending at 5:30 PM.

Of course, there are times for overtime, such as during the Student Festival and Campus Festival. Those are the busiest times for the Student Council, and we might not be able to leave work at the usual 5:30 PM.

[Akasaka Ryunosuke, current remaining points: 1,000,000.]

[Time: Third day of school.]
