Perhaps the student council should get in touch with this Kitagawa Tera-san.
However, the student council's inaction during the time he was made the underwear thief might have left a bad taste in his mouth.
The student council has yet to figure out whether Kitagawa Tera was a victim of group bullying, or if he really was the underwear thief.
Chinatsu Chiyuki gently tapped her finger on her desk.
Finally, her fingers stopped, and her eyes widened.
There is nothing much to dither about. The student council may be the model for students, but that doesn't mean we can escape the responsibility of making a wrong decision. Inaction on the part of the student council is indeed our mistake.
Therefore, Chinatsu Chiyuki decided to meet Kitagawa Tera.
On the one hand, she would be able to apologize for the matter previously; on the other hand, she hoped to persuade him to join the student council.
From what he said in the toilet, she could feel the passion in him. Instructing these troublemakers 'not to bully other students' probably stemmed from his own sense of justice.
While Chinatsu Chiyuki was pondering, another student council member updated them on new progress.
"It's really weird… Kitagawa-san of Class 1-1 seems to have been bullied for quite some time. But after winter break, he seems to have become an entirely different person. I heard from a friend in Class 1-1 that Kitagawa-san seemed to have a conflict with a girl in the same class yesterday. Today's bullying incident also originates from yesterday's conflict."
"Is there some hidden situation here?" Chinatsu Chiyuki blinked her beautiful eyes.
She wanted to move forward to speak, but she suddenly staggered, almost falling down.
"President!" The student council members stood up worriedly.
"… I'm fine." Chinatsu Chiyuki waved her hand to signal to the student council members to continue their work. She then sat back on her chair and massaged her temples.
Chinatsu Chiyuki was not an airhead, nor was she concerned about nearly falling.
The reason for this fatigue was because of the heavy burden in her heart…
Risa… Chinatsu Chiyuki exhaled heavily.
The dizziness in her head continued attacking her, giving Chinatsu Chiyuki a sense of nausea. However, she maintained her normal self in front of the new student council, but a trace of paleness was visible.
"President, why don't you rest in the student activity room for a while. It's lunch break now anyway," someone suggested.
The student council went back to school one week before the rest due to the handover from the previous student council, and during this entire week, Chinatsu Chiyuki was not really herself.
Sometimes Chinatsu Chiyuki would show a particularly tired look, and at other times be in a dazed state. She would only regain her composure when someone called out to her.
"I'm okay. I'll sit here and rest for a while," Chinatsu Chiyuki insisted.
The newly-appointed President Chinatsu Chiyuki had an indescribable rigidity to her.
As the president of the student council, she had to be a role model for all the students of Kyokuboku High School.
Looking at such a Chinatsu Chiyuki, everyone exchanged glances, but surprisingly no one objected.
This was the role of setting a good example. Everyone could see Chinatsu Chiyuki's serious attitude, and no one could object to her words.
Everyone went back to work in silence, but their eyes drifted to Chinatsu Chiyuki from time to time.
Everyone in school was discussing how President Chinatsu Chiyuki was beyond reach.
'Awe-inspiring disposition', 'polite and elegant', 'meticulous and proud'.
Although there was all of this—in fact, the biggest reason was that Chinatsu Chiyuki was beautiful enough.
That's right! The reason was that realistic. Chinatsu Chiyuki had an upright disposition; floating, satin-like long black hair draped over her shoulders; cherry pink lips; and eyes that glistened with the radiance of frost.
She was beautiful, had an outstanding temperament, and was also a talented girl who published articles in the school journal.
She was a typical female lead in a novel.
And it was this seemingly impeccable person that seemed out of sorts recently.
Some of the student council members even imagined it as Chinatsu Chiyuki wanting a boyfriend, so she deliberately showed her delicate side to test them.
This conjecture obtained mass recognition from the student council.
Even a few female members were tempted by Chinatsu Chiyuki.
And Chinatsu Chiyuki, who saw through everything, merely sighed deeply.
Risa… don't worry… I won't let the student council collapse.
The former student council president, Tsukishima Risa, might not have been a very qualified president, but for Chinatsu Chiyuki, she was a perfect predecessor.
She joined the student council and became the president mainly because of Tsukishima Risa.
However…
Thinking about the change in Risa after she emerged from the abandoned Miki Puppet Factory, Chinatsu Chiyuki nearly teared up in regret.
She should have held back the curious Tsukishima Risa. If only she had managed to stop her, these things would not have happened.
Chinatsu Chiyuki reached out and gently caressed the pendant at the edge of her phone.
It was a gift from Tsukishima Risa for being elected as student council president.
I'll definitely save you no matter what, Risa, Chinatsu Chiyuki muttered silently in her heart.
She had sought an eminent monk to make Buddhist prayer beads, and she had gone to a large shrine to pray for blessings and obtain ridding-evil and safety amulets for the sake of Tsukishima Risa, who was in a bad place.
However, their effects were minimal.
In fact, Tsukishima Risa even showed extreme fear and resistance toward them.
Chinatsu Chiyuki's chest tightened as she thought about Tsukishima Risa tightly wrapped up in her blanket and getting thinner every day.
However, there was good news recently that made her feel slightly relieved.
The blogger of the 'Office of Paranormal Activities', who was especially famous among young people, had finally replied to her!
He did not mention day-to-day stuff like fame and fortune.
Whenever he uploaded the stimulating videos of exorcisms or horror photos, he always ignited massive discussions.
Some said that this mysterious blogger did not dare to show his face because he was using PS or 3D synthesis technology to attract people's attention.
Some said these photos were already available years ago.
Some of them were even more ridiculous. They claimed to be his relative and to send money to account XXXXXXX if you wanted to know his true identity…
When she first saw this home page, Chinatsu Chiyuki also thought that the blogger was bluffing.
But after Tsukishima Risa's incident, she had to believe that there were indeed things that she did not understand in this world.
Therefore, she left a private message every day for the blogger.
The blogger finally replied to her the day before yesterday and said that he would come to look at the situation in the near future.
How could her spirits not rise?
She managed to regain some energy and looked back at Kitagawa Tera's video. She was suddenly hit with a strange feeling.
It seemed… Kitagawa Tera's side profile was a little similar to the mysterious blogger…
