Don't Even Think About It / A Photo of the Three of Them

The more aloof a girl is usually, the more fun it is to tease her, and the cuter she becomes.

If I want to exchange cash from the Horikita family, I naturally have to visit them. I imagine the Horikita, who has been away from home for more than two or three years, must have something to ask me to convey.

Of course, Horikita Suzune, who has been away from home for half a year, probably also has something to say.

"Go."

Glancing at Karuizawa who was looking at her in surprise, Horikita Suzune composed herself and answered.

After passing two Special Exam, she had so much to say to her brother.

Chapter 177 Don't even think about it

"What an incurable brother complex."

Aoyama couldn't help but tease Horikita Suzune, who was spending lavishly at the supermarket.

After having lunch at a free lunch, Karuizawa's tutoring journey officially began. During this time, he received a message from Tachibana Akane informing him that the Student Council room's ventilation ducts were under repair and temporarily closed.

So Karuizawa's trip to the Student Council after cram school turned into going to the Horikita Manabu.

The little liar, Horikita Suzune, assumed that her older brother, Horikita Manabu, was planning to have her cook dinner for her.

Feeling someone's large hand becoming even more unrestrained, Horikita Suzune pursed her lips. "I was just showing respect to my brother, unlike you, a pervert who likes to touch girls' hair and has a long hair fetish."

Along the way, Aoyama's large hand would occasionally hover over her head, and this was the price she paid to see her brother.

Before summer vacation ended, she couldn't resist Aoyama patting her head.

"What's wrong with being a long-hair enthusiast? Long hair is justice!" Aoyama declared righteously. "I'm going to complain to the president later. His sister isn't cute at all; she actually thinks being a long-hair enthusiast is perverted."

He remembered that Horikita Suzune liked short hair, and the reason she grew her hair long was entirely due to Horikita Manabu that she liked long hair.

In other words, in Horikita Suzune's mind, her brother is also a long-hair enthusiast.

"Don't do such pointless things." Horikita Suzune glared at Aoyama, not wanting to lower her status in her brother's heart.

"I find it quite interesting. I can also ask the president whether he prefers long or short hair."

I said I don't want to.

Holding a shopping basket in one hand, Horikita Suzune's expression grew even colder, and her free hand reached for the side of Aoyama's waist.

"Yes, yes, I won't say then."

Having received another angry expression from Horikita Suzune, Aoyama raised his hands in surrender, choosing to stop while he was ahead.

Taking jokes too far can make someone dislike you, and he certainly doesn't want to be disliked by cute girls.

"You're being indecent." Horikita Suzune's expression softened slightly as she scolded softly, then headed to the cashier to pay for the carefully selected ingredients.

Leaving the supermarket, filled with a mix of trepidation and anticipation, she and Aoyama went to the third-year dormitory building. Along the way, every third-year student they encountered gave them sidelong glances.

They might not know Horikita Suzune, but they do know the Student Council Vice President.

It's rare for first-year students to be assigned to third-year dormitories, let alone one of them being the Student Council Vice President.

After entering the elevator, Horikita Suzune moved closer to Aoyama. "We won't cause trouble for our brother, will we?"

"Then why don't you go back?"

Aoyama replied somewhat irritably. Whenever her older brother was involved, Horikita Suzune became timid and hesitant, much like Sakura.

While he is undeniably adorable, there's also a sense of disappointment in his lack of ambition.

I wonder when Horikita Suzune will be able to stand up to her brother and grow into someone even more dazzling.

The elevator stopped at the destination floor. Aoyama, with Horikita Suzune who had pursed her lips and lowered her head, left the elevator and went to Horikita Manabu's room, casually knocking a few times.

"My dear president, your loyal vice president has arrived."

As Horikita Suzune looked up speechlessly, Aoyama shouted into the room without showing any embarrassment.

Less than ten seconds later, the door clicked open and slowly opened, revealing Horikita Manabu, whom they hadn't seen for half a month. It was the first time Aoyama had seen Horikita Manabu in casual clothes.

Even dressed in a simple short-sleeved shirt and casual trousers, Horikita Manabu still exudes a serious and capable aura.

Upon noticing his younger sister, Horikita Manabu's expression turned cold. "You didn't say Suzune would be coming too."

"What does it have to do with anything? Besides, what I'm about to say is also somewhat related to Suzune."

Staring at Horikita Suzune, who was glaring at him with eyes blazing with fury, Aoyama casually replied to Horikita Manabu, then put his arm around Horikita Manabu's shoulder and led him into the room.

"Does the student council president have to invite you in?"

Turning around, he saw Horikita Suzune still standing there in a daze, and Aoyama spoke again. Horikita Suzune immediately seemed to wake up from a dream and followed him into the entrance hall, closing the door behind her.

The three people sat down at a low table that was clearly meant for dining, in three different directions.

Horikita Manabu coldly pushed up his glasses. "Haven't seen you for half a month, and you've become quite frivolous, Aoyama."

"I hope the president will call it confidence," Aoyama replied calmly, a stark contrast to Horikita Suzune, who sat upright with a stiff expression.

"Oh, right, I haven't congratulated you yet on becoming the leader of Class A." Horikita Manabu ignored the expectant Horikita Suzune, "Was this your plan from the beginning? Or were you forced into it?"

With just over a month left until the Student Council election, his attention to Aoyama had reached an extremely high level.

He immediately sought out Aoyama's Aoyama teacher to learn about his performance in the two Special Exam during the first year, ostensibly to assess his successor, and thus obtained a considerable amount of information about Aoyama.

Aoyama nodded calmly, "That was the plan from the beginning, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

Becoming the leader of Class A was part of his money-making plan, but he originally thought that he could become the Student Council President in his second year.

After his various crushing defeats in the first year, he must have a lot of influence since he was begged to go on stage, and no one would dare to complain.

"Is that so?" Horikita Manabu pondered for a moment, "I have bad news for you. Second-Year Class B has lost its chance to become Class A. Nagumo designed Second-Year Class B to be included in the Special Exam during the summer vacation."

"Although Second-Year Class B came in first place, six students dropped out during the Special Exam, leaving only thirty students in the class now."

Nagumo used the lure of first place to make Kiriyama, the leader of Class B, lose his composure and ignore the class with the weakest average strength among the group members.

On the last day of the exam, due to the misleading and framing of an insider, the group that was originally ranked at the bottom immediately dropped to last place, and all six members were expelled from school.

With only thirty students remaining in Class B, there's no hope of them making it into Class A unless everyone achieves an A in both academics and physical abilities.

"How can this be bad news? It should be good news." Aoyama didn't think it was bad news at all. He guessed that Horikita Manabu thought that he would support Second-Year Class B to fight against Nagumo.

According to Horikita Manabu, the traitor transferred to Class 2-A after framing his classmates during the exam, consuming Twenty Million Personal Points from Nagumo.

Second-Year Class B, with too few students and no potential to be promoted to Class A, will not become the biggest obstacle for Class 2-C, which he really wants to support.

Aoyama rubbed his hands together, feigning malice, and asked, "President, how many points has your class accumulated?"

"Don't even think about it," Horikita Manabu said decisively.

The Student Council President election is simple: it's all about who gets the most student support, and enough personal points can buy that support.

He could only help Aoyama to the extent that he was able to do so.

Chapter 178 Group Photo of Three

"Well, it was just a little joke."

"Actually, I came here today to make a deal with the president, to exchange some of my personal points for cash, and in Chairman, I got a day off from the school."

Sensing that Horikita Manabu was getting impatient, Aoyama revealed his true intentions.

He might need it if he goes out, but he might not need it either.

"Leave school for a day?" Even the usually composed Horikita Manabu showed surprise. Obtaining permission to leave school wasn't something that could be done with a huge amount of personal points.

"I was fortunate enough to receive permission from the Chairman yesterday, with a deadline of the end of summer vacation."

How much will the transaction be?

Three million.

"Can."

Nodding slightly, Horikita Manabu sat down at his desk, took out a piece of white paper, and began to write on it.

He wrote very fluently without much hesitation, and soon put down his pen, looked up, and for the first time looked directly at his restless younger sister.

"If there's anything you want to say to your family, write it down and have Aoyama take it back with you."

"--Yes, I understand." Horikita Suzune stood up in a panic and rushed to Horikita Manabu's side, staring intently at her brother's indifferent face.

"Don't rush."

He calmly reminded Horikita Manabu folded up the letter he had written home and sat down again next to Aoyama.

"Your father will give you cash once you've read the letter," Horikita Manabu calmly, turning his gaze away from his sister.

Aoyama felt a pang of pity for the flustered Horikita Suzune. "I think it would be better to take a picture together, to prove our close relationship."

He estimated that Horikita Suzune hadn't taken a photo with Horikita Manabu in many years.

This is a favor I shouldn't refuse.

"You don't need that kind of thing; your father will give you money anyway."

"But I think the chairman's family must really want to see what their child looks like now that he's grown up," Aoyama retorted with a smile.

Normal parents wouldn't want to see their child who hasn't been home for more than two years.

"...Alright." Horikita Manabu hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "Kiriyama will probably lose his leadership position soon; Nagumo already dominates the second-year students."

Class 2-A has a significantly higher Class Points than the other three classes. Even the closest Second-Year Class B has a gap of nearly 800 points, not to mention Class C, which has a gap of more than 1,000 points, and Class D, which has only 100 Class Points and has been losing repeatedly.

The defeat led to the expulsion of six students, and under the barrage of criticism from their friends, Kiriyama could no longer remain the leader of Class B.

"I've already started working on dealing with Nagumo."

He knew that Horikita Manabu was reminding him that if he didn't deal with Nagumo, who had no enemies, Nagumo would soon be able to control the entire second year.

The benefits of Nagumo's unequal contract, exposed shortly after the start of the school year, have already been exhausted.

That would be best.

"Now let me give Nagumo a little surprise." With a smirk, Aoyama began contacting the rich girl in the first year of high school.

He borrowed nearly 30 million points from two wealthy women, one older and one younger, for temporary use.

Open your Personal Terminal, take a screenshot showing nearly 50 million personal points, post it on the school forum with some text, and your little surprise for Nagumo is complete.

The points from the two wealthy women were returned along the same route. At this time, Horikita Suzune also finished writing her letter home and nervously handed it to her older brother.

"It seems the leaders of Class 1-B trust you quite a bit." Without secretly reading Horikita Suzune's letter, Horikita Manabu, prompted by Aoyama, saw the so-called little surprise.

After just a moment's thought, he guessed that among the fifty million points, the proportion of the wealthiest students in Class 1-B was definitely not small.

"Nagumo will probably get anxious when he sees this, and getting anxious will increase the likelihood of him making a mistake." Aoyama tapped his finger lightly on the table.

"Even if he could tell that a large portion of the 50 million belonged to someone else, he wouldn't dare gamble that Ichinose wouldn't be blinded by love and actually misappropriate class funds to buy votes for my election."

"Please report this to the Student Council, Suzune. I have a huge amount of personal points obtained through dubious means."

With just a little push, the news that he possesses a huge amount of personal points will spread throughout the entire school, along with the post that Miyabi Nagumo could receive 20 million points just by dropping out.

Another official Student Council confirmation: his abundance of gold coins and his competition with Nagumo for the next student council president will be acknowledged by the entire student body.

In this way, it would be impossible for Nagumo to reach ticket purchase agreements with each class at a low price.

Unlike Aoyama, even if Nagumo had a high reputation in Class A, he would never misappropriate a huge amount of class funds to use for his own campaign for Student Council President.

Horikita Suzune was completely baffled. "Why would you do that?"

"Not counting the individual points held by the students in Class A, Nagumo probably still has around 50 million points." Based on his intelligence on Nagumo, Horikita Manabu provided a useful piece of information.

Unlike his bewildered sister, he quickly guessed Aoyama's thoughts.

About a week ago, Nagumo lent ten million yen to Sakayanagi Arisu.

"So, on the surface, it's around forty million," Horikita Manabu stated, indicating that he was unaware of this information.

Aoyama clicked his tongue. "Forty million? Nagumo is quite rich."

The fact that Nagumo transferred to another class and lent money to Sakayanagi means that he has recently spent at least 30 million yen, which indicates that Nagumo has also won a lot of gold coins in the Special Exam of the school or other classes in the past two years.

There are still forty million left, it's making him incredibly envious.

"You'll know when Nagumo contacts you." After marveling at how incredibly wealthy Nagumo was, Aoyama looked at the current leader of Class D, someone Nagumo would definitely be lobbying for.

"Anyway, let's take some photos first, then it'll be almost time to cook."

He specifically chose to visit at 5 PM to discuss the matter, naturally because of his deal with Horikita Suzune.

When Horikita Manabu to eat the food made by Horikita Suzune would let him pat her head.
