Yukinoshita's Correction Method
"Well—my homeroom teacher suddenly became very enthusiastic and expressed her support for me. I told her I wanted to give up, but she encouraged me for a long time..." Iroha Isshiki's expression was somber and conflicted. "Someone even gave a speech in support of me in class, but I wasn't there at the time, so I don't know the specifics."
"I've also talked to Iroha Isshiki's teacher... but she's the type who doesn't listen to others." Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her cheek helplessly, sighed, and lowered her head, looking like she couldn't take it anymore. "She's having a heartwarming story playing out in her mind [a student in the class who lacks confidence becomes the Student Council with the encouragement of the teacher and classmates]. When I found her, she even told me the whole story of this inspirational tale."
Dong Yunshan glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita: "People who firmly believe they're right are the most difficult to deal with."
Yukino Yukinoshita glared back. "What are you looking at me for?"
Dong Yunshan smiled and said, "Look at the results of my correction."
"And then!" Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly raised her voice, breaking the sweet atmosphere that had been building between them, "I worried for a long time, and finally decided to consult with Shiromaru."
"I couldn't think of a solution either, so I came here." Meguri Shiromeguri his braid that hung down from his shoulder with his fingers somewhat uneasily. "Besides, even if Iroha Isshiki's teacher agrees, canceling my candidacy isn't really feasible, because... well... canceling itself is a problem..."
Yukino Yukinoshita on her chin, her icy blue eyes fixed on Meguri Shiromeguri: "Is it because the election regulations don't include any provisions for cancelling a candidacy?"
"Huh? How did you know...?" Meguri Shiromeguri blinked several times in surprise. "Well... that's true. There's no clause in the rules about canceling a candidacy. Generally speaking, people who run for Student Council officer are very passionate and idealistic. The people who drafted the rules wouldn't have imagined this situation, let alone written a special clause for it."
"Isn't Iroha Isshiki a first-year student?" Saki Kawasaki suggested, "Couldn't we use that as a reason to revoke her qualification?"
Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "No, there's no grade requirement in the rules either, so even if you're not a second-year student, you can still participate."
Meguri Shiromeguri added softly, "Previously, having second-year students run for president was just an unwritten rule."
"So..." Komachi Hikigaya reality, "Now the only thing we can do is try to lose the election?"
"Hmm...but since only Iroha Isshiki is running..." Meguri Shiromeguri lowered his gaze dejectedly, "So this is a vote of confidence."
Yui Yuigahama tilted her head. "A vote of confidence?"
"This is the voting method when there is only one candidate, unlike the method used when there are multiple candidates. The trust ballot only has two options: [Agree] and [Disagree], allowing voters to select whether they want to hand over the Student Council position to her," Yukino Yukinoshita explained in detail. "Because most people are not interested in the Student Council election, basically no one will disagree."
Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed, "So the outcome is basically decided."
"Not necessarily. If we do something interesting, it can still appeal to most people..." Dong Yunshan paused, looking at Iroha Isshiki, "But you probably wouldn't want to do it."
"Of course! How could I do something that would lose trust just to avoid being trusted!" Iroha Isshiki protested, stamping her foot. "Besides, losing the trust vote would be too embarrassing! I don't want to!"
Dong Yunshan glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita, "How about we make use of those pranksters?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka stared at him warily. "What are you going to do?"
"Killing two birds with one stone." Dong Yunshan blinked. "It can both prevent Iroha Isshiki from being selected and punish those ignorant brats."
Chapter 576 Special Methods
"Spread rumors about Iroha Isshiki in the names of these thirty people, causing her to lose the vote of confidence. Then, arrest them on charges of spreading rumors, Iroha Isshiki Isshiki's name, and reveal that she was forced to run for office," Dong Yunshan explained the plan succinctly. "In this way, Iroha Isshiki will become a character who was forced into the situation, and she will also gain a lot of guilt from her classmates. The fact that she ran for office and failed to run for office will become the fault of the sinner."
"Ah..." Iroha Isshiki stared blankly at Dong Yunshan, "You can... do that?"
Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "Don't you want to teach those people a lesson?"
"I didn't really think that way..." Iroha Isshiki's gaze wandered.
Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed and looked at Yukino Yukinoshita: "Is this the result of your corrections?"
"Still undergoing correction." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache. "I'll try harder."
Yui Yuigahama blinked her big eyes, then suddenly burst out laughing, "Hehehe..."
All eyes immediately turned to them.
"Ah... um... I, I just suddenly feel a little nostalgic." Yui Yuigahama hurriedly explained, "After Yunshan started dating Little Yukino, I felt that he changed a lot, and he started to learn from Little Yukino in how he does things—it feels like the methods Yunshan used to use, so it feels a bit like going back to the past."
"As their teacher, I will give them the punishment and lesson they deserve." Shizuka Hiratsuka slapped Dong Yunshan on the head with a chop. "Don't push them any further."
"Moreover, spreading rumors is extremely risky, and even after clarification, it will still have an impact." Yukino Yukinoshita placed her small hand on Dong Yunshan's waist. "This method will absolutely not work."
Iroha Isshiki seemed a little disappointed. "... Indeed."
"Then..." Dong Yunshan's eyes flickered, "How about trying a rally speech in support?"
A rally speech is a speech delivered by a candidate's supporter.
Its core purpose is to demonstrate the candidate's excellent qualities, abilities, and commitments from a third-party perspective, thereby enhancing its persuasiveness.
Supporters share specific examples of their interactions with the candidate to demonstrate that the candidate's campaign slogans are not empty rhetoric but based on their daily conduct.
["I have personally witnessed her sacrificing her rest time to help classmates answer questions..."]["She is a very meticulous person; last time I forgot something..."]["As her friend of many years, I assure everyone..."] and so on.
During the public election speeches for the Student Council council, a supporter is needed to go on stage and give a speech in support.
"Using the excuse of feeling bullied, they threaten those thirty people to nominate one person to give a support speech, while the others are responsible for brainstorming the content. They demand that the person absolutely cannot be elected, or they'll report you to the school for being bullied." Dong Yunshan's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "To avoid punishment, these thirty people will scheme and choose an unlucky one, forcing them to give a failed support speech. That way, losing won't be because you didn't gain everyone's trust, but because those people didn't do a good job."
"Wow..." Iroha Isshiki stared in disbelief, silently taking a step back and cautiously looking at Yukino Yukinoshita, "Is this okay?"
"Of course not." Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Dong Yunshan. "What if this escalates the conflict and bullying actually occurs? Besides, this method isn't guaranteed to succeed, and the subsequent impact is uncertain. This kind of rally, which is based on the premise of failure, with the speaker appearing as a friend, will still affect Iroha Isshiki -kun."
Iroha Isshiki sighed, "Your girlfriend said it won't work."
Dong Yunshan's eyes flickered slightly. "Then..."
"The key issue is that even if Iroha Isshiki doesn't get elected, someone still needs to be the Student Council," Meguri Shiromeguri weakly reminded him. "We still need to find a new candidate to fill the vacancy."
"So finding someone willing to run and who can beat Iroha..." Yui Yuigahama pointed out the key point, "That's very difficult, Iroha is very popular."
"Finding a suitable candidate before the election, completing negotiations, preparing to run... and ensuring victory," Komachi Hikigaya murmured. "The timeline is a bit tight."
Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Dong Yunshan: "Shiromaru-senpai, could you give us a little more time?"
"Huh? Ah, um..." Meguri Shiromeguri nodded vigorously, "Of course."
Shizuka Hiratsuka stretched and said, "Then let's come another day, Shiromaru, Iroha Isshiki, let's go."
"Okay," the Meguri Shiromeguri replied.
"Thank you all for your hard work~" Iroha Isshiki's eyes flickered, "Speaking of which, this is..."
She looked at the steel pipes in the activity room.
Everyone's eyes silently turned to Dong Yunshan.
Dong Yunshan stretched a couple of times. "I thought I could get it exempted this time."
Amidst Iroha Isshiki, the Dong Yunshan was caught on the steel pipe.
--
"Why didn't you say so?" Back home, Yukino Yukinoshita sat on Dong Yunshan's lap as usual, her hands on his shoulders, leaning forward slightly to increase her intimidation. "You know that's a better way."
Dong Yunshan put his arm around her waist to steady her. "You mean... you're running for office?"
"From an objective standpoint, it's the most sensible thing for me to do to run. Even if my opponent is Iroha Isshiki, I'm quite confident I can win the election." Yukino Yukinoshita stared into his eyes. "And I really do have the idea of running."
"But that was your idea when you told me, not a publicly stated idea; it was still just an idea." Dong Yunshan gently stroked her back. "You never said anything, so I thought you were still considering it, and that's why I didn't say it for you."
"You knew what I was thinking, yet you bypassed my thoughts to come up with a solution." Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly. "I thought you didn't want me to run for office."
Dong Yunshan smiled and pulled her into his arms, "If you really want to run for office, I'll definitely support you."
Yukino Yukinoshita nestled against his chest. "However... I also feel that I really need to think about it some more."
"For example?"
"For example, what will happen to the Service Club after I become the Student Council?"
Dong Yunshan: "Let's start directly from after you're elected, for example?"
Yukino Yukinoshita looked up. "Is that not allowed?"
"Alright, alright, my wife is so amazing, of course we should start after she's elected..." Dong Yunshan was lightly punched by her, "Then the Service Club can continue in a different location, or it can continue in the original activity room."
Chapter 577 Going Shopping
"Moving it to a different location means... moving the Service Club to the Student Council office?" Yukino Yukinoshita pondered. "Would that even work?"
"What's wrong with that? It's all about solving problems, big and small, all at once," Dong Yunshan reminded her with a smile. "Besides, think about it, weren't we already handling Student Council work before?"
The Service Club participates in both the Cultural Festival and the Sports Meet, two major events.
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently, then her gaze shifted. "I won't be installing steel pipes on you."
"... I don't need it either." Dong Yunshan chuckled, "I'm actually considering whether to dismantle the ones in the activity room."
"You're only thinking of taking it apart now?" Yukino Yukinoshita gently poked his cheek. "Why didn't you think of it earlier?"
"Well..." Dong Yunshan's lips curled up, "I'm thinking of keeping it as a souvenir."
Yukino Yukinoshita looked puzzled. "Commemoration? What commemoration?"
"In memory of our adorable little chubby one~"
"Gulp..." Yukino Yukinoshita's face flushed red instantly. She bit her lower lip and glared at him. Suddenly, she grabbed his shoulder and sat up slightly, then deliberately slammed down on him as punishment. "You like watching, huh? Let me show you!"
Dong Yunshan's body stiffened.
"Hmph~" Yukino Yukinoshita smugly rubbed it. "What's wrong? Don't you like it? Hmm?"
"Yes." Dong Yunshan's Adam's apple bobbed. "I really like it."
"Huh?" Yukino Yukinoshita blinked in confusion, then suddenly realized... sensed something, and this time even her ears turned red. "I... I suddenly remembered... Ah!"
Dong Yunshan's hand, which was wrapped around her waist, slipped and returned to her incredibly elastic, rounded skin, her fingers slightly curved...
"No..." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice trembled, as if all her strength had been drained, and she collapsed into his arms. "Don't do anything rash..."
"Okay," Dong Yunshan readily agreed.
"... Terrible." Yukino Yukinoshita whispered in his ear, "Isn't moving rhythmically considered messing around?"
Dong Yunshan asserted confidently, "The rhythm wasn't disrupted."
"I told you... um~ don't do anything reckless..." Yukino Yukinoshita tried hard to control her voice, "I still want to go out."
"What are you going out for?"
"I need to buy clothes," Yukino Yukinoshita said softly. "Didn't we talk about it before? Things have changed a bit, so... I need to buy some new ones."
"Can't you just change the row and button it up?"
"We need to prepare in advance," Yukino Yukinoshita said softly. "With your... gluttony, you might not be able to get a seat in the first row."
"Oh well."
Sensing Dong Yunshan Suguru remove her hand, Yukino Yukinoshita relaxed in relief. "You! Why are you doing this again...?"
Dong Yunshan's hand had just moved away when it returned to its place.
This time, however, there was no pleated skirt to cover it up.
"You'll need to change your clothes before we go out, right?" Dong Yunshan gently touched the last barrier. "Since it's clothes you'll need to change out of..."
"No... Waaah..." Yukino Yukinoshita slightly out of breath, her warm breath pattering against Dong Yunshan's earlobe. "Don't make any noise..."
"That's not my voice."
"No... stop, wait a minute..." Yukino Yukinoshita hugged Dong Yunshan's neck tightly, "I--Ugh!"
Her slightly parted cherry lips were captured by a kiss, and the warm intrusion shook her last bit of resistance.
"Open your mouth," Yukino Yukinoshita said coldly. "Let me check."
Dong Yunshan: "Huh?"
Yukino Yukinoshita said sternly, "Hurry up."
Dong Yunshan: "Ah~"
Yukino Yukinoshita and brought it closer to examine him. Only after confirming there were no injuries did she breathe a sigh of relief. Then she glared at him fiercely. "That'll teach you to be silly... Does it hurt?"
Dong Yunshan's voice was muffled. "No, it's not painful."
"Real?"
"Uh-huh."
Yukino Yukinoshita looked away. "Never mind then..."
"Forget it? Forget what?" Dong Yunshan suddenly felt like she had missed something. "Wait, actually it hurts a little."
"... I just can't do anything with you." Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her head. "I'll rub it for you... just once."
One after another~
"Phew~" Holding onto Dong Yunshan's shoulder, Yukino Yukinoshita lifted her head, her moist lips slightly pursed. "Are you done?"
"Hmm..." Dong Yunshan blinked, "A little better."
