Chapter 178 Good News
Shirogane Miyuki immediately contacted Fujiwara Chika and told her about the plan. After discussing it with her older sister, Fujiwara Toyomi, Fujiwara Chika immediately agreed to the plan. The three Fujiwara sisters then arranged a venue and invited these VIP members of the club alliance.
The subsequent matters were no longer something Kaede and the other two could participate in, so they directly bid farewell and left.
Outside the fast-food restaurant, Shirogane Miyuki patted Kaede's shoulder and said, "Asakura, thank you for this time. Don't worry, this matter won't have any impact on me. I was initially worried that my role as Student Council President was meaningless, but now it seems that it's useful not only for my university admission but also in other aspects."
Society is made up of connections. It was the first time Shirogane Miyuki realized that he had achieved results beyond just his grades and his position as Student Council President. If he could continue to maintain these connections, it would definitely be of great benefit to his future.
Of course, the future is still far off. What's more important now is Shinomiya Kaguya. He had to figure out a way to get those troublesome people to help.
Watching Shirogane Miyuki leave confidently, Kaede smiled wryly, "I regret it a little."
"Don't worry, Asakura."
Ishigami Yuu said calmly, "Although I don't know the full story, just the young lady of the Ryūzu Group alone can definitely guarantee that the President won't get into trouble. Although she's not someone ordinary people can approach, her relationship with the President is surprisingly good, and she will definitely help."
Even Ishigami didn't know, but since even he said so, Kaede could only wait quietly.
"Uh... won't it eventually come back to me?"
Ishigami Yuu said somewhat gloatingly, "Hehe, who knows?"
Patting him on the shoulder, Kaede said exasperatedly, "Don't kid me about things like that. I'm just a small fry; I shouldn't have said anything in the first place. Ishigami, there's still some time until the fireworks festival tonight. Are you going home next? Want to come over to my place for a bit? Once Shirogane Miyuki sends word that things are settled, we'll go out for dinner and then head to the fireworks festival together."
"If it's your place, Asakura..." Ishigami Yuu said, "Won't Sawamura-san be there too? I think I'll skip it; I don't want to be a third wheel."
"It's fine, others will be coming too. Takasu will be there. Although you haven't met the others, Shirogane Miyuki and Shinomiya-senpai know them; they are our schoolmates and they are all easy to get along with."
Except for Oosaka Taiga, that girl tends to get worked up, but with Kushieda around, it shouldn't be a problem.
Seeing that Ishigami Yuu was still hesitant, Kaede continued, "When we get there, you don't need to worry too much about the girls. We guys can just play games together. I have quite a collection."
As soon as that was mentioned, Ishigami Yuu was no longer afraid and immediately agreed.
Thus, their next destination was simple: the home of Kaede and Eriri.
It was Ishigami Yuu's first time visiting, and seeing that it was a high-end apartment, he said in surprise, "I guess, Asakura, you must have spent most of the money from your light novel work, right? As far as I know, this type of luxury apartment costs a lot."
"You know quite a bit, Ishigami," Kaede said with a smile. "I did spend most of my savings, but fortunately, I'm still writing novels, so money can slowly be earned back. We're here, come on in."
Opening the door, Kaede saw Kushieda Minori, Oosaka Taiga, and Kitamura Yusaku already in the living room, besides Eriri.
"You're all here already? That was fast!"
Eriri, who had been chatting, saw Kaede return, bringing Ishigami Yuu and Takasu Ryuji with him. She immediately stood up, jogged over, and asked, "Kaede-kun, how are things going?"
Taking Eriri's hand, Kaede reassured her, "Don't worry, we have a plan. Shirogane Miyuki contacted Fujiwara-senpai, and they went together to find people to help. The only thing is, if it succeeds, there will be a few more people attending the fireworks festival."
"Huh?"
Five minutes later, Kitamura Yusaku and the other two also learned what Shirogane Miyuki was doing, and they were all shocked.
Kitamura Yusaku looked at Kaede and said, "Asakura, you really dared to think of a method like that."
Spreading his hands, Kaede gave a wry smile. "This method was devised based on Shirogane Miyuki's reputation among the students at school, and he really does know some qualified people. Besides, judging by Shirogane Miyuki's demeanor, if he left this matter entirely to Fujiwara-senpai, he would probably feel very guilty."
After listening, Eriri wasn't so worried. She said, "Although this method is a bit aggressive, if Shirogane Miyuki can truly invite these people to help, then setting aside the current situation, it will also bring a lot of benefits to Shinomiya-senpai. As for now, let's just wait for the news with peace of mind. We must believe in Shirogane Miyuki, the Student Council President of Shuchiin!"
Having finished discussing the matter, Kaede introduced Ishigami Yuu to Kitamura and the other two. Then the boys gathered together to play games, leaving the living room space for the girls to chat.
Arriving in the workroom, Ishigami Yuu first looked around at the collections of Kaede and Eriri, and then the four of them started playing games together.
An hour later, Kaede's phone rang. Not just his, but everyone else's phones rang at the same time—it was a message from the group chat.
Shirogane Miyuki: [Everyone, please be on time for the fireworks festival tonight. Shinomiya will not be absent!]
It seems he succeeded.
After seeing the message, Kaede's phone vibrated again; it was a private message from Shirogane Miyuki.
Shirogane Miyuki: [Asakura, thank you so much for this time. And don't worry, there won't be any negative repercussions. I discussed it with several members of the club federation, and everyone surprisingly rallied together this time.]
Looking at the message, Kaede couldn't help but click his tongue. Although the Shinomiya Family possessed immense wealth, they couldn't reach everywhere. At least Shirogane Miyuki was lucky; he had already established some connections that could help him within the past year.
Seeing that Shinomiya Kaguya would not be absent, everyone finally relaxed. All they had to do now was wait for the fireworks festival to begin.
As evening approached, the girls who had brought their yukata went to Eriri's bedroom to change, and Kaede also went to his own room to change his clothes.
After changing and coming out, Kaede said to Kitamura Yusaku and Ishigami Yuu, who were waiting in the living room, "Are neither of you planning to change into yukata?"
Ishigami Yuu replied, "I don't really like them. They're kind of troublesome."
Kitamura Yusaku said, "Yeah, I don't much like them either. Plus, when I dug out the set I had at home, I found it was a bit small. I didn't want to spend money on buying one I'd only wear once, so I just decided not to change. But your set, Asakura, looks really good."
Kaede looked at himself and said, "Eriri picked it out for me. It is quite nice, though it's a bit of a hassle to wear."
Ah, the scent of coupledom.
Kitamura Yusaku and Ishigami Yuu instinctively rubbed their stomachs.
After waiting a little longer, the girls, having changed into their yukata, also emerged.
