Chapter 285 The greater the power! ...It has nothing to do with me!
Two days have passed since the Classic Literature Department updated its mission to find the [Wind Signal].
Since Senior Kazunari was unwilling to say more, they had no choice but to investigate one by one, focusing on Senior Kazunari.
Anyway, Fengxin is most likely Fengye's classmate from last year. In that case, we can narrow down the target to less than thirty people by checking the records at the student council.
After excluding members of the Literature Department and students with poor grades, [Fengxin's] identity seems to have become clear to everyone...
Miyuki Shirogane stroked his chin. "Choosing from these people... Uchiha, what do you think?"
"Heh, I should have known... It was him all along."
"Huh? You've already found out! So quickly, who is it?!"
Uchiha Ryo pointed to the seating chart of Kazunori-senpai's class last year, then turned and pointed to the gold ornament on Shirogane's clothes.
"The work was clearly published by Shuchiin University, but there's absolutely no information about it! And in this era of strong copyright awareness, even if the author consented to someone else registering and publishing it on their behalf, the student council couldn't possibly have no information at all."
Shirogane Miyuki's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"
"【Fengxin】hid himself too well, so well that there is no information about him at all. It seems that he has severed himself from the Legend of Fengxin."
So, in a place like Shuchiin, who has the qualifications and ability to conceal all of this?
Student Council... Shirogane Miyuki lowered his head and looked at the gold pendant that symbolized his position as president.
"A second-year student at Shuchiin Academy, former student council president Nobunaga! He was also Kazano-senpai's classmate last year! There aren't many people in this academy who can be called geniuses! The former student council president's talent really fits the name 'Kaze no Shin'."
.....
In the Shuchiin Flower Arrangement Club, Nobunaga turned to look at his junior who had come to visit.
"Yes, you're right, it was indeed written by me. Are there any other questions?"
Nobunaga, the former guild leader, nodded and admitted to being "Wind's Faith" as if he were talking about something as mundane as "the fried egg I had for breakfast today," as if Uchiha Ryo and the others' investigation over the past few days had been meaningless to him.
Shirogane Miyuki looked at his senior who had handed over the student council president position to him and suddenly felt a strange anger.
Perhaps... Shirogane is finally experiencing what Kazunori felt when facing Nobunaga.
"Senior, do you know about Kazunori-senpai?"
"Hmm? Of course, he's a very important friend of mine. Isn't he the captain of the rugby team now?"
Miyuki Shirogane's expression was serious. "But does senpai know why he gave up his beloved literature and chose rugby instead?"
Former Chairman Nobunaga turned around and continued arranging flowers. "Everyone has the right to choose. As a friend, I don't seem to have the right to interfere with which path he chooses to take, do I?"
"Can...."
Nobunaga chuckled. "Anyway, he seems pretty happy now, doesn't he? He became captain because he led the rugby team to a high school championship. That's impressive!"
Shirogane Miyuki gritted his teeth. "What about that senior? He was clearly more suitable to be the student council president than me, yet he gave the position to me. And that novel he wrote was so good..."
"Shirogane-kun."
Nobunaga interrupted Shirogane Miyuki's speech again, speaking slowly and deliberately.
"Like I just said, I have no right to interfere with his choices, and likewise... no one else has the right to interfere with mine. I was interested in writing at the time, so I wrote a book. I was also interested in being the student council president, so I chose to join the student council."
"But now, I have no interest in the power of the chairman or in writing, so of course I have to give it up."
"Just like Uchiha, he clearly showed superhuman physical abilities, so why didn't he want to become a sports student and participate in sports competitions? He could do it, but he wasn't interested, that's all."
Shirogane Miyuki fell silent.
Uchiha Ryo wanted to say something, but found himself unable to refute it.
The saying "With great power comes great responsibility" is a principle that Uchiha Ryo cannot judge as true or false. Without considering obligations, if someone has the ability to do something but fails to do it, thus disappointing expectations, is that person truly a bad person?
No, there are very few truly good or evil people in this world; most are just ordinary people. They usually choose to go with the flow, only revealing their true colors in critical moments as a form of self-protection.
Chairman Nobunaga was not wrong. Perhaps the book "The Legend of Honourable Heart," which failed to meet readers' expectations, is like a crescent moon that will never celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"This is such a hassle... It seems I'm not qualified to be the president. I've been too idealistic about everything." Shirogane Miyuki chuckled self-deprecatingly.
The two returned to the student council classroom and saw Ishigami Yu on the sofa.
"Seniors, have you found it?"
"Hmm, found it, but unfortunately it's not very useful."
Ishigami nodded. "President, you probably knew the outcome before you went, so why did you still go?"
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "Because Shirogane is just that kind of stubborn person. Just like Kazuno-senpai, even after getting the original manuscript, he still wanted to help publish it. Even if he guessed the ending, he still wanted to try."
Yu Ishigami tilted his head and thought for a moment. "It's like relieving yourself outdoors in a strong wind, knowing you might get your pants wet but still having to go?"
"More or less... Hey, Silver! Don't be down, how about going out and relaxing this weekend?"
Miyuki Shirogane lowered his head even further... "Keiko has been helping the Shinomiya family with their bookkeeping lately, but they don't pay daily, so I can't refuse my weekend job."
Saving money—I'm broke!
Yuya Ishigami looked down at his phone. "Although I'm free this weekend, I'm sorry, but I just want to lie in bed playing on my plugged-in phone and have my meals served to me all day."
Save money – open for business!
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "Is that so? Then forget it. Chitanda said she wants to go swimming one more time before autumn arrives."
Swimming again? Shirogane Miyuki recalled the helpless feeling of cramping up in the sea. He swore he would never go into the sea again!
"I don't know the specifics, but they said it had nothing to do with swimming or anything like that, it was just simple water play."
Uchiha Ryo declared that since none of you are participating... then he absolutely has to participate!
......
Weekend at the Chitanda family's large suburban mansion. Because the Chitanda family is a "rich farmer? Landlord!", the size of this yard is just right... for playing with water guns.
That's right, it all started because Chitanda Eru wanted to play in the water one last time before summer ended, so she gathered a group of people and wanted to split into three groups to have a water fight with water guns.
Group 1 —
Hinata Hoshino: "Go for it! I won't lose!"
Shirasaki Hana: "I only came because I heard there was cake, why is it a water fight?"
Himesaka Noa: "Hmph, I won't admit defeat even to the older sisters, and being small has its advantages!"
Rumi Tsurumi: "What a coincidence, I was also forced to participate. After all, it's impossible to resist Eru-neechan's gaze..."
Group Two —
Chitanda Eru: "I've prepared all sorts of water guns for everyone~ Pick one yourself."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "Why am I playing such a childish game... Oh well, I'll just go along with your crazy fun."
Hayasaka Ai: "Just playing with water guns isn't very interesting. Should we add some punishments and rewards?"
Goto Ichiri: "Who am I? Where am I? Why was I dragged here by Hayasaka-san?"
Group 3 —
Uchiha Ryo: "Isn't your team's division of personnel a little...uneven? Why am I the only one here?"
Yanyunjiang: "Meow... (There are two)"
