While the viewers were cheerfully discussing the scene, Manabu Horikita and Dokuho Kouya's conversation continued.
"What will you do if Class D still hasn't gathered enough points by the end?"
Manabu Horikita's gaze sharpened, and he asked in a low, serious voice.
At his words, Dokuho Kouya quickly understood what the student council president meant.
He wanted to find out from Kouya's answer whether he was the sort of person who acted without restraint.
If Kouya said he wouldn't care what happened to the students of Class D, Manabu's opinion of him would drop, and he wouldn't trust him as much.
Considering that the viewers were still watching, Dokuho Kouya didn't answer right away. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and put on a kind smile.
And now, it was time for some positive energy.
"If the students of Class D are expelled, it'll be my fault. If we really can't gather enough money by the end, I'll make up the difference with my own private points."
...Not really.
"However, if I really have to step in, I won't go with the option of paying to buy points." Dokuho Kouya's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident and mysterious smile. "I'll use a better method."
...Actually, there wasn't any so-called better method. He just wanted to put on a show.
"I see."
Manabu Horikita nodded slightly, seeming satisfied with the answer.
Then he lifted his eyes and stared straight at Kouya. "Have you considered joining the Student Council?"
"If you're willing, I can bring you on right now."
Dokuho Kouya shook his head. "No need. I'll get bored of it soon."
It wasn't that he disliked trouble.
Nor was he afraid he couldn't shoulder the responsibility.
He just thought he'd get tired of it soon.
It fit the troublemaker persona
