Chapter 530: [530] Iroha Shock

Chapter 530: Iroha Shock

As the melodious music began playing in the gymnasium, pairs of elegantly dressed dancers started to sway and move along with it.

Being the main characters of the dance, Hachiman and Iroha naturally stood in the center.

Although Hachiman had never formally learned to dance, his exceptional physical coordination, honed by his max-level [Physical Fitness] module, allowed him to perform with a grace that rivaled that of professional dancers.

As for Iroha, she already knew a bit about dancing, but with Hachiman's superb skill, she found herself being guided along like a life-sized doll.

Nevertheless, the girl was beaming with happiness, for she had achieved her goal of dancing with Hachiman.

"Hmph, even if Yukino -senpai and Yui-senpai were to come, it wouldn't matter. This time, Senpai is my dance partner."

However, just as she was feeling pleased, Hachiman's voice reached her ears.

"Iroha, do you remember what I said to you before?"

Of course, the girl remembered, but hearing Hachiman bring it up now, a hint of disappointment welled up in her heart.

Since they were being videotaped, Iroha tried her best to maintain her facial expressions, though a hint of melancholy crept into her tone.

"Senpai, do you really dislike me that much?"

"How could I? Actually, I quite like you."

Without breaking stride, Hachiman smiled slightly.

"But I like you as a sister."

Hearing this, Iroha slightly puffed up her cheeks, "Eh? I don't want to be a sister; I want to be..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Hachiman spoke again.

"As I said before, I'm not worth you liking."

"What is that supposed to mean, saying such nonsensical things?"

In truth, Iroha had always been curious about why Hachiman, someone so outstanding, would claim he wasn't worth her affection.

No matter how much she pondered, she couldn't figure it out, and eventually, she concluded that it was just an excuse.

Hmph, I won't fall for it.

....

"That's not as nonsensical as it sounds."

Seeing how stubborn Iroha was being, Hachiman was a bit helpless. He had no choice but to tell her the truth.

"You see, I'm quite the philanderer."

"Eh, eh, eh?"

Iroha was surprised to hear this from Hachiman, but before she could ask anything, he continued speaking.

"Iroha, you're aware of Yukino and Yui's feelings toward me, right?"

"Of course, I know that," she nodded.

"Do you know what I think of them?" Hachiman asked.

Iroha speculated in the usual way, "Hmm... You're supposed to choose between the two, right?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, Hachiman countered her guess.

"Wrong!"

"Huh?!"

Iroha looked up in surprise, only to see a smirk playing at the corners of Hachiman's mouth.

"Both of them, I won't let go of either."

"And it's not just Yukino and Yui, but also Yumiko, Saeko, Kotonoha, Erina..."

"All these girls are my targets."

"So, Iroha, if you don't want to also be one of my targets, you better not fall for me."

Hearing these words, Iroha was stunned and momentarily forgot to move her feet. Fortunately, Hachiman guided her throughout, preventing any missteps.

Quickly regaining her composure, she picked up the dance rhythm again but couldn't resist asking, "But Senpai, isn't the law one husband, one wife?"

"That's true, but if you're strong enough, these things can't limit you." Hachiman smiled faintly.

"These situations aren't uncommon in big families, and there are many countries with polygamy, right?"

"But... but how would the Senpais agree to that?"

Iroha found it hard to believe that any girl would willingly share her partner with others.

Unfortunately, her hopes were dashed as Hachiman wore a very self-satisfied smile.

"Don't worry, most of them have already agreed. I'm just working on convincing a few more."

"This…"

Iroha was stunned. She hadn't expected that anyone would actually agree to such an arrangement.

Seeing her reaction, Hachiman nodded in satisfaction. Hopefully, this would make her give up.

"So, Iroha, you should stay away from this whirlwind. I can't give you equal love."

"If you keep getting closer and end up really falling for me, you might never be able to get out."

Whispering softly in her ear, Hachiman released her.

The melodious music had stopped, signaling the end of the video shoot.

At that moment, Iroha was still in shock, standing there blankly until a member of the student council called out to her. She quickly snapped back to reality and rushed over to the computer to watch the video they had just filmed.

In the video, pairs of elegantly dressed people swayed and danced to the melodious music.

Under the spotlight from the disco balls, the scene appeared quite dreamy.

While almost everyone had appeared on camera, the most eye-catching were the trio of pairs featuring Hayama, Yukino, and Hachiman. After all, good looks can't be ignored.

Hayama, of course, needed no further mention—he was the perennial heartthrob on the Sobu High handsome ranking. The girl paired with him might not surpass Yukino or Yumiko, the top beauties of Sobu High, but she was comparable to Yui.

As for Yukino and Yui's pairing, they were quite captivating as well. Yukino wore a male suit, yet it seemed perfectly fitting and added to her charm. Paired with a beautifully dressed Yui, they looked like a prince and princess straight out of a fairy tale.

Next, the camera shifted to show Hachiman and Iroha together.

As the actual protagonists of this promotional video, they did not disappoint.

Their exquisite outfits, graceful dance moves, and naturally impressive looks made them the center of everyone's attention.

Although, by the end, Iroha's expression appeared a bit dazed...

This didn't detract from the overall impression of the promotional video.

"Mm-hmm, it turned out quite well."

Looking at the scenes in the video, Iroha nodded with approval.

"Vice President, please do some post-editing on this video later and upload it to the official account for the graduation dance."

"No problem, leave it to me," Vice President nodded.

"Thanks for your hard work." Iroha smiled and then turned to bow to thank the others who came to help.

"Thank you all, seniors."

Everyone smiled and acknowledged the young girl's gratitude.

"Haha, it's no problem."

"We're just glad to do something for the third-year seniors."

"That's right, we had a lot of fun too."

"..."

"Iroha, if there's nothing else, we'll head out now," said Hayama, who had changed back into his regular clothes.

Hearing him say they were leaving, Iroha paused momentarily and then nodded.

"Oh, there shouldn't be anything else. Thank you, Hayama-senpai, for everything."

"Then we'll be off," Hayama smiled, calling over to Tobe. "Let's go, Tobe, time to get back to training."

"Huh? We still have to go back? We hardly get a chance like this; let's enjoy it a bit longer."

"Haha, don't say that, we can't skip training. I'll treat you to a drink."

"Alright, but you promised, no backing out."

"Of course, let's go."

Hearing Hayama offer to treat him to a drink, Tobe obediently followed him back for training.

But as they passed by Hachiman, Hayama glanced at him. However, he merely looked without saying a word and continued on his way with Tobe out of the gymnasium.

As Hayama and Tobe left, the others who had changed also began saying their goodbyes.

Soon, the only ones left in the gym were the members of the student council and Hachiman, along with his friends.

Chapter 531: [531] The Girl Who Hasn't Given Up Yet

Chapter 531: The Girl Who Hasn't Given Up Yet

Looking around at the once again somewhat empty gymnasium, Yui hesitantly spoke up.

"Yukinon, should we..."

But before she could finish her sentence, she saw Yukino shake her head, and then both girls turned their attention to Hachiman.

Sensing their gaze, Hachiman sighed.

In truth, he didn't want the two of them to get involved, but since they had found out, knowing their personalities, they certainly wouldn't leave it alone.

After some thought, Hachiman looked over at Iroha.

"Iroha, would it be alright for Yukino and Yui to help with organizing the graduation ball?"

After all, the girl was the nominal president of the student council and the initiator of this graduation ball, so it was important to respect her opinion.

Surprised by Hachiman's question, Iroha was momentarily taken aback, but she quickly adjusted her demeanor, flashing her usual smile.

"Really? The senpai are going to help too?"

"Of course, I don't have much to do anyway," Yui replied with a smile.

Yukino also nodded, "Yes, that's fine. The Service Club doesn't have any requests recently, so there's no problem with coming to help you."

"Thank you so much," Iroha expressed her gratitude with a smile.

Given that time was already a bit tight, having more people to help was certainly beneficial.

"It must be tiring for you two senpai today. Please go home and rest; we'll have the student council members edit the videos and photos we took earlier."

"As for you senpai, you can come by the student council tomorrow afternoon."

Hearing this, Yukino nodded, and Yui happily chimed in, "Yes, yes, we'll definitely be there tomorrow. I have a feeling it will be really fun!"

And so, the Sobu High Graduation Ball Executive Committee gained two more members.

.....

The next afternoon, in the student council office.

As promised, Yukino and the others arrived there, with Hachiman naturally among them as well.

Sitting across from them, Iroha sorted through a stack of photos and handed them to Yui.

"These are the photos we're planning to post on the official account. You can take a look first and select any that might be inappropriate."

"Got it."

Yui accepted the photos, intending to review them with Yukino.

However, at this moment, she thought of something and looked over at Hachiman.

"Hikki, do you want to look at them with us?"

"No, you two go ahead," Hachiman replied, shaking his head.

"Alright, then I'll look at them with Yukinon."

Hearing his response, Yui nodded, then she and Yukino leaned together, flipping through the photos one by one and occasionally exclaiming, "Wow" or "That's beautiful."

As for Hachiman, he sat there somewhat bored, resting his head on his hand and gazing out the window.

A bit noteworthy was that, although Iroha appeared to be going over the documents in her hands, her gaze would occasionally dart towards Hachiman.

At first, after hearing what Hachiman had said yesterday, she was indeed a bit shaken.

But upon thinking it over, wasn't this a challenge?

If she could change Hachiman's thought of wanting a harem into loving only her, wouldn't that prove that her charm surpassed that of Yukino, Yui, and the other girls?

Just imagine, achieving something that so many girls couldn't, but managing it single-handedly—what a proud accomplishment that would be.

Thinking of this made Iroha feel quite excited.

Sometimes, you just can't help but marvel at the intriguing ways a girl's mind works.

.....

Noticing the girl's gaze, Hachiman turned his head to look at her.

"Iroha, what's up?"

"Oh, nothing."

Realizing her gaze had been too obvious, Iroha quickly changed the subject.

"Senpai, do you think this plan works?"

As she spoke, she handed him a report.

Hachiman took the report and began to go through it.

It mainly recorded the progress of various departments over the past few days and the plans for the upcoming days. Seeing the records, Hachiman nodded repeatedly.

It seemed everything was proceeding according to the plan he had laid out, and the progress was quite impressive.

He handed the report back and nodded. "The progress is great, but we need to speed up a bit more since we're running out of time."

"I understand. I'll make sure everyone works faster," Iroha nodded earnestly.

At that moment, Yui and Yukino had finished reviewing all the photos.

Returning the photos to Iroha, Yui spoke cheerfully, "Iroha-chan, these photos are really nice. Everyone looks great in them."

"Indeed. If we use these for promotion, there shouldn't be any issues," Yukino agreed with a nod.

"I understand. I'll have these photos uploaded to the ball's official account shortly," Iroha said with a smile, then pulled up the post-processed video of the ball on her computer.

"This is the video we edited yesterday. Senpai, you should take a look. If everything looks good, we'll upload it together with the photos."

"Sounds good."

Yui nodded, and she and Yukino began to watch the video again.

There's no denying that the original video was already good, but after post-processing, both the editing and pacing were taken to the next level.

Soon, they finished watching the video, and Yukino shared her thoughts.

"It's very good. The viewing experience is much better than the original. Let's use this version."

"Got it," Iroha nodded in agreement.

At this point, Hachiman chimed in, "Alright, the next priority is to get the official account running effectively. We must focus on promotion."

"Understood, I'll have the team start uploading right away," Iroha nodded and began organizing the student council members to distribute the tasks.

The saying goes, you never know when internet enthusiasts might flock to something interesting.

Shortly after the photos and video were uploaded, comments began to pour in.

[What is this? A ball? It looks amazing.]

[This place looks like the school gym. Is our school hosting a ball?]

[Really? That would be fantastic!]

As more and more curious onlookers joined the discussion, the excitement grew.

[Yes, it's a ball! It's a graduation ball organized by the student council for the third-year students.]

With this message, a promotional photo taken in the gym was attached, showing everyone dressed in formal wear and dancing to the music.

Seeing the photo, the discussion heated up even more.

[This is great! Is our school finally having a ball?]

[Don't get too excited. It specifically says it's a graduation ball for the third-year students. It might only be open to them.]
