Asuna Yuuki pondered this deeply, muttering to herself.
"Our opponents are, after all, the previous student council. It's already quite an achievement that we've managed to gain a slight lead. To be 100% certain of victory... that's impossible..."
"Is it possible?"
Before Yuuki Asuna could finish speaking, Fujiwara Chika suddenly interrupted her, saying in a matter-of-fact tone.
"If we just find a way to prevent the previous student council vice president and president from participating in the campaign speeches next Monday, wouldn't we be guaranteed to win?"
"what?"
Asuna Yuuki hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking.
"Chika, you don't mean to make us..."
"correct."
Fujiwara Chika nodded, speaking with conviction.
"With our abilities, it should be quite easy for us to create some kind of accident that prevents them from participating in their campaign speeches, right?"
"Isn't this cheating?"
"NONONO~"
Fujiwara Chika raised her fair right index finger and waved it in front of Yuuki Asuna, her face bearing a simple and sweet smile, yet her words were quite rational.
"Elections are like love, both are brutal wars. In a war, no matter how despicable or heinous the means used, as long as you win in the end and are not discovered, it cannot be considered cheating."
After saying this, Fujiwara Chika looked at Asagiri standing there and smiled.
"I bet Utsunomiya-san shares the same opinion as me, right?"
However, unexpectedly, Asagiri, whom she thought was most likely to agree with her plan and was just as ruthless as her, expressed her disapproval at this moment.
"No, this plan won't work."
Fujiwara Chika tilted her head, her cute face filled with confusion.
"why?"
"Although both are victories, a victory in a head-on confrontation against the previous student council is not comparable to a lucky victory obtained through chance, in the eyes of the school."
Asagiri said this first, then looked at Kaguya Shinomiya, who seemed to be deep in thought, and said in a calm tone.
"The most important thing for you after you are successfully elected, and the reason you initially chose to run for office, is to make the student council activity room your private space. However, you must close the student council activity room when you enter the room, and you also need the school's approval if you want to go to the school on weekends."
"In other words, if you can't get special privileges from the school, then you won't be able to use the student council activity room as your base, and all our campaign work over this period of time will have been in vain."
"That's why what we need is not a lucky victory, but a victory that crushes the previous student council head-on and wins the hearts and minds of all the teachers and students. Only by doing this can Mr. Ashikaga propose granting our student council unprecedented privileges at the council meeting, and successfully persuade the other council members to vote in favor despite the opposition of the chairman, Shinomiya Hiromitsu."
Upon hearing Asagiri's words, both Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya fell into deep thought. They hadn't considered whether they would receive any special privileges from the school after winning the election.
Kaguya Shinomiya knew something about Hiroshi Shinomiya, after all, he was her nominal older brother. Regardless of whether they were related by blood, Hiroshi Shinomiya was an extreme chauvinist. Not to mention his dislike for his illegitimate sister Kaguya Shinomiya, the mere fact that a girl was the student council president of the Seichiin Academy would definitely make him unhappy.
The only member of the council who dared to directly challenge Chairman Shinomiya Hiromitsu was Ashikaga Miwa, who came from a noble samurai family and held absolute dominance in many areas of the business world.
To ensure the success of Ashikaga Miwa's proposal, it would be insufficient to rely solely on a lucky victory in the eyes of outsiders.
"But……"
Kaguya Shinomiya looked conflicted and murmured to herself.
"If we really want to confront them head-on, what should we do... to have a sure chance of victory..."
"I'll take the lead in giving the speech."
Asagiri spoke slowly, her face calm.
“In this round, I am certain to win, and I have an absolute reason why I cannot afford to lose, which is…”
At this point, Asagiri looked at Yuuki Asuna beside her and said with a smile.
"I made a promise to your mother, so for my lovely girlfriend Asuna, I will never lose."
Faced with this sudden, direct attack, Asuna Yuuki couldn't help but show a look of emotion, and then lowered her head shyly.
"Shinomiya-san and Chika are still here... We can say some sweet nothings when we get home..."
Seeing this scene and listening to their conversation, Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her chest, and a thought involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
"I wish he was saying that to me..."
Just as Kaguya Shinomiya was halfway through her thought, Chika Fujiwara suddenly spoke up in an envious tone.
"Oh, I wish I were Utsunomiya's girlfriend too."
Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya's pupils dilated in shock.
what! ?
Did Fujiwara Chika really see through my fantasies?
However, Kaguya Shinomiya then noticed the silly, aunt-like smile on Chika Fujiwara's face, and realized that the other woman had just been speaking her mind and was not exposing her fantasy.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a pang of jealousy.
He wasn't jealous of Asuna Yuuki, who was Asagiri's girlfriend, but rather of his best friend, Chika Fujiwara.
This carefree, clueless guy... he really says whatever comes to mind.
If only I could be like that...
Upon hearing Fujiwara Chika's words, Yuuki Asuna became somewhat annoyed. She stepped in front of Asagiri, stared at the smiling Fujiwara Chika, and issued a stern warning.
"I don't allow it."
"Really? Then never mind."
Chika Fujiwara knew very well the principle of settling for the second best, and said with a smile.
"Could you ask Utsunomiya-san to remove me from the blacklist?"
Asagiri replied in a flat tone.
"I pulled you out a long time ago."
"You're lying, I only saw it when I emailed you this morning..."
"Oh, so you try to email me every day."
"Eh……"
Fujiwara Chika belatedly realized what was happening, a slight blush appearing on her face as she spoke with a hint of annoyance.
"Utsunomiya-kun, so you were deliberately trying to trick me! That's despicable! That's cheating!"
"Heh, didn't you say it yourself? As long as we can win, cheating by any means is fine."
Asagiri shook her head, looked down at Fujiwara Chika, and said with great imposing manner.
"Fujiwara Chika, this time, it is your defeat!"
"What……"
Fujiwara Chika took two steps back, her lovely face showing resentment and frustration, her heart filled with despair.
"I actually made such a fatal mistake... Damn it, Utsunomiya-san, I'll definitely win next time!"
"Hey, you two, can you stop acting out a stage play here?"
Upon seeing this scene, Asuna Yuuki couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.
Just as she had predicted, in terms of abstraction...
Asagiri and Fujiwara Chika really hit it off immediately and got along very well...

Chapter 62: Returning to Giant Mountain Mental Hospital.
"So, as the strongest student, Utsunomiya, are you confident that you can stand up to the previous student council president and vice president and establish an unshakeable advantage for us in the public speech segment?"
Seeing Fujiwara Chika asking questions in an exaggerated manner, as if she were a reporter, Asagiri crossed her arms and replied with great confidence.
"Of course, they're just clay chickens and earthenware dogs, easily broken with a flick of the finger!"
"Heh heh, that's quite an imposing presence, is he really going to destroy the enemy outright... As expected of Utsunomiya-kun!"
"Of course! This war will surely be our victory!"
Seeing the expressions of Fujiwara Chika and Asagiri, and hearing their imposing words, Yuuki Asuna and Shinomiya Kaguya exchanged a glance. Without needing to speak, they reached a wonderful understanding at that moment.
Perhaps this is the empathy one feels when accompanying someone who is an abstract being.
"You two, that's enough."
Asuna Yuuki, like an elderly mother watching her two children bickering, sighed deeply and couldn't help but complain.
"It's just a student council election, why are you acting like it's some final battle that will determine the future of the world, and why is it all set off like this?"
Asagiri and Fujiwara Chika's answers were surprisingly consistent.
"Isn't this to accommodate him/her?"
At this moment, Asuna Yuuki had only one thought in mind.
Fortunately, it was me, not Fujiwara Chika, who was queued up for the newbie dungeon with Asagiri, otherwise...
When the thought had only just begun to form in her mind, Asuna Yuuki quickly shook her head.
What am I thinking about?
Isn't this tantamount to insulting her boyfriend's character and questioning Asagiri's feelings for her?
I shouldn't, and absolutely must not, think like that.
"so……"
Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Asagiri, composed herself, and said calmly.
"Are you absolutely certain of victory?"
"Yes, we will win."
"That's good."
Asuna Yuuki knew where Asagiri's confidence in victory came from: the passive ability of her special class "Unruly Tyrant," which greatly enhanced the effects of all negotiation methods.
However, she highly doubted that even without the special passive effects of their profession, the other party would make such a promise of certain victory at this moment, after all…
Since I've known him, I've never seen him fail at anything.
Fujiwara Chika glanced at Shinomiya Kaguya, then at Asagiri standing there, and then spoke with a smile.
"Then let's work together these next two days to work on the speech we'll be using next Monday..."
"Chihua."
Before Fujiwara Chika could finish speaking, Shinomiya Kaguya interrupted her, then looked at Asagiri standing opposite her, raised her hand to tuck her long black hair behind her ear, and said in a calm tone.
"You should ask for leave this Wednesday, right?"
Asagiri nodded without any attempt to hide her feelings, giving a direct affirmative answer.
"Yes."
"Then you should focus on the more important things first, and you can study the content of the speech later."
Kaguya Shinomiya isn't stupid. Last time, she and the Asagiri Squad entered the same dungeon and cleared it in the same time, which means that the cooldown times for the two squads are synchronized.
The seven-day cooldown, plus the three-day advance registration, means that if you register on Sunday when the cooldown ends, you can enter the dungeon this Wednesday. However, due to personal reasons, Kaguya Shinomiya, Chika Fujiwara, and Ai Hayasaka cannot enter the dungeon during their class time from Monday to Friday.
The dangers of dungeons are self-evident; a slight mistake can result in serious injury or even death. Compared to the student council election, Kaguya Shinomiya could clearly distinguish which side was more important.
Just as Kaguya Shinomiya was about to leave with Chika Fujiwara, she suddenly stopped. After hesitating for a few seconds, she turned around and looked at Asagiri, pursed her lips, and said softly in a slightly complicated tone.
"Be careful, don't die in the dungeon."
Asagiri shrugged and replied with a nonchalant smile.
"I'll try my best not to die, but if I really do die, there's nothing I can do."
Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya gave Asuna Yuuki a deep look, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and simply followed Chika Fujiwara away into the distance.
"Kaguya, this isn't like you at all."
