Chapter 283 The Truth About to Be Unveiled
Kazunori-senpai, I've been searching for you for so long! Shirogane Miyuki breathed a sigh of relief. It seems the whole truth is about to come to light!
During the afternoon club activities, the Classics Literature Club delegation, led by Uchiha Ryo, went to the Rugby Club for a social event. Don't wonder why the Literature Club would socialize with the Rugby Club; the answer is quantum mechanics.
"Kazuno-senpai, you club members are really full of energy."
Although Uchiha Ryo is the vice-captain of the Classic Literature Club, he is also the general affairs officer of the student council. If these club matters are reported to the student council, he will most likely be the one to take over.
"Hahaha, of course! These are all players I personally trained. Did you hear that, guys?! Even if you lose the game, you can't lose your spirit! Relax and head to the gym for extra training!!"
Hayasaka Ai instinctively stepped back; he physically rejected these overly fit, sweaty, muscular men. Seriously, these guys have practically reached bodybuilding level, have they?
Chitanda Eru didn't even look at the players; instead, she looked seriously at Kazano and asked him a question.
"Senior Kazunori, it's like this, we heard that you published a short story book last year called 'Heart and Fox'."
"Oh ho, you're the Classics Department, not the Journalism Department, why are you asking this?"
Kazunori remained cheerful, but Uchiha Ryo keenly sensed a hint of annoyance, as if he didn't want to talk about the matter.
But Chitanda Eru seemed to see a glimmer of hope in finding the wind's message and hurriedly spoke up.
"So, has Kazunari-senpai read 'The Legend of the Heart'? I really want to find the author of that book, Kazunori, I have some questions for him!"
"The Legend of Fengxin? I haven't seen it, and I don't know anything about Fengxin. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Eh... alright then." Chitanda looked somewhat dejected, while Uchiha Ryo and Hayasaka Ai exchanged a glance. Kazuno's expression was well-disguised, but in the eyes of the master of disguise, Hayasaka Ai and Uchiha Ryo, his lie was too obvious.
"Ling-kun, should I investigate this?" Hayasaka Ai whispered.
"No need, I'll talk to him myself after school. Men are such creatures... there are some things, especially their bad side, that they absolutely cannot say in front of strange women."
Hayasaka Ai nodded. "Well, what a strange sense of pride."
......
After school, at the same place... this time, Uchiha Ryo treated Shirogane Miyuki and Ishigami Yu to drinks, but he also bought an extra bottle to give to Kazano-senpai.
Sure enough, this is the only way Kazunari can leave, which is why he accidentally lost his precious collection last time... By the way, how did it fall out of his bag? Does he read while walking?
"Kazano-senpai!"
The man who heard the sound turned around.
"It's you guys... President Shirogane, this Uchiha junior, and..."
"I am the student council's accountant, Yu Ishigami from the junior high school, and Kazano-senpai."
Kazunori smiled. "Not bad. To become the student council's treasurer in the middle school class shows that President Shirogane really appreciates your abilities. So... did you guys need something from me?"
Kazunori's smile was as bright as ever; this sunny sports club senior was the complete opposite of Ishigami Yu.
Uchiha Ryo held up a copy of "The Legend of Honourable Heart" that he had borrowed from Chitanda. "Kazuno-senpai, you should have read this book and know this [Kazun], right? Could you introduce us?"
Kazunori's smile gradually froze, and his gaze sharpened. Even Shirogane Miyuki, standing beside him, could feel the distinctly hostile gaze from the other side.
However, Kazunori's hostility was not directed at Uchiha Ryo and the others, but rather entirely focused on that book.
After a long while, he silently glanced at the three junior students in front of him.
"Aren't you all a bit too curious? Are you having dinner? Let's chat while we eat."
With that, Kazeno turned and left, and Uchiha Ryo immediately followed, tossing him the drink he had bought for him in advance.
Miyuki Shirogane and Yuu Ishigami quickly ran over; they wouldn't miss this dinner. Although Kazuno-senpai's curiosity wasn't actually present, Chitanda Eru's curiosity had infected everyone.
Curiosity is an innate human instinct, and it is because of curiosity that humans possess boundless creativity.
Chitanda Eru simply used her curiosity to ignite the long-buried curiosity within others. Now, they also want to know: who exactly is this mysterious author hiding her identity?
Kazunori led everyone to a popular fast food restaurant and reserved a private room.
"The pork chop rice here is very generous in portion size; our group of fitness enthusiasts really enjoyed it. Highly recommended!"
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "A miso chashu ramen, please."
Yu Ishigami: "Then I'll have a bowl of ramen too, the same as Uchiha-senpai."
Shirogane Miyuki looked at the menu and said, "Then I'll have the yakisoba."
The dishes for the four of them were served, and the private room was very quiet. Although Kazunori's pork cutlet rice bowl was very generous, he ate it very quickly, showing that he really loved the food here.
Across from him, Uchiha Ryo, having finished his ramen, put down his chopsticks and noticed that Kazuno-senpai was turning his head towards the window, his chaotic, unfocused eyes staring blankly at the approaching sunset. A strange sense of melancholy washed over him...
"First, I want to answer your question... Yes, I have read this book and I know the author."
"Just as I thought," Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Then... are Kazunori-senpai and the author of this book friends?"
"My friend... he used to be, and now... I guess he wouldn't even take this kind of thing to heart."
By this time, Shirogane Miyuki had finished his yakisoba. "So, senpai, who exactly is the author of this book?!"
"Guild Master Shirogane, before you interrogate others, could you please listen to a few complaints from a loser like me?"
Complaining? Of course! Miyuki Shirogane says he's very good at comforting others, whether they're strangers online or classmates! As student council president, one must learn to understand and treat others kindly. That's what the previous president, Nobunaga, told him!
The reason why the previous student council president was also elected as a first-year student is because he transformed the Shuchiin Student Council into not just an office, but also a haven for all students.
The idea of going to the student council when there's a problem isn't just a saying; that's why the newly appointed president, Miyuki Shirogane, works so hard day and night. He wants to prove that he's no less capable than the previous president and that this student council is no worse than its predecessors.
Miyuki Shirogane smiled and looked directly into Kazuno-senpai's eyes. "Please speak!"
