Chapter 437: Fumino Remembers His Promise Clearly
"Are there many benefits after joining the student council?" Rizu asked curiously.
"If student council members don't even get benefits, how could anyone be willing to join?" Kaguya didn't expect she could let both of them join the student council to help her just by saying something. So, of course, she had prepared her words.
"For example, the most basic benefit is that you can use the student council room as you please. As long as you don't violate school rules or damage facilities here, you can do whatever you want."
"This benefit seems small." Fumino complained in a low voice, "I can't feel the benefits at all."
"This is just the most basic part. I will explain other aspects one by one."
After a brief pause and observing their expressions to ensure there was no impatience, Kaguya continued, "Let me talk about entering higher education first. Both of you have to continue to higher education in the future."
"Yes."
Fumino and Rizu answered simultaneously.
"Which university is your preferred choice? Can you tell me?" Kaguya asked.
"I haven't decided, but I have to go to a university with achievements in astronomy." Fumino answered honestly.
"I want to study psychology." Rizu said softly.
"I remember both of you were admitted to Shuchi'in Academy through special admissions, right? It seems you don't have a free choice between liberal arts and sciences unless you excel in both fields."
Kaguya wasn't surprised by their answers.
Because she had investigated this matter before seeking them, and now she had thought about how to deal with it.
"Yes." Fumino nodded.
Both of them were recruited specifically to Shuchi'in Academy, so there were limitations on the universities they could choose to attend.
For example, she could only choose liberal arts; if she wanted to choose a science college, she had to prove that her grades in the science field were not weaker than her grades in liberal arts.
If not, the school would not approve.
"But it will be different after joining the student council. As a student council member, you are free to choose between science or liberal arts." Kaguya said with a smile, "You no longer need to be restricted by the school."
"Really?" Fumino was skeptical.
"Indeed, the power of the student council is much greater than you think." Kaguya said lightly, "Not only that, when you're in school, I can also ask the school to help you write recommendation letters to be shown on behalf of Shuchi'in Academy."
"Although not as good as [Shuchi'in Council Recommendation], it's still very important in this country."
"This..."
Fumino and Rizu exchanged glances, feeling a bit moved.
This benefit was too good to be true. If they agreed, the chances of getting into higher education were quite guaranteed.
"So, what do we need to do after joining the student council?"
Rizu was not entirely tempted by what Kaguya said but worried about what they would do.
"Help me deal with all sorts of things; I can't handle them alone." Kaguya answered, "But don't worry, I'll teach you; don't worry about not being able to learn; it's very simple for you."
"Where's the time?" Fumino asked.
"After school in the afternoon from Monday to Friday; usually, you don't need to come during the day."
"Afternoon..."
Fumino hesitated.
In the afternoon, they went to Nakano's house to ask Ren for help with lessons; if they came to the student council in the afternoon, they wouldn't be able to make it there.
"Furuhashi-san, are you worried about lessons?" Kaguya guessed what she was thinking.
"H-how did you know?"
Fumino asked in a panic. She had never told anyone that Ren was helping them with lessons.
"Kamikawa-kun told me."
Kaguya squinted her eyes and answered with a laugh.
"Kamikawa-san?!"
Fumino didn't expect to hear Ren's name from her.
"Yes, he's my friend." Kaguya explained, "And he's also in my student council invitation plan."
"Friend? Invite him?"
The amount of information she provided was too much, and Fumino couldn't understand it.
"Yes, so Furuhashi-san and Ogata-san, you don't need to worry about missing Kamikawa-kun's lessons."
She wanted to invite Ren to join the student council, but the problem was he disagreed, and he rejected the invitation last time.
This time, she became friends with him, so let's try inviting him again.
"It sounds really nice."
Fumino carefully analyzed the pros and cons; the more she analyzed, the more she felt that joining the student council would be beneficial for her without any harm.
The issue of entering college could be resolved; she could also get an additional recommendation letter from Shuchi'in Academy, and she could also enjoy other student council benefits.
If Ren also joined, he wouldn't delay helping them with lessons, and at the same time, she would spend more time with him.
"Will Kamikawa-san really join?" Rizu asked.
"Not necessarily, but I will try my best to convince him."
Kaguya could only give a vague answer.
"Then I will think about it again. Can I give you an answer after some time?"
After hearing this, Fumino's initially excited heart slowly calmed down.
If Ren didn't join, then she wouldn't need to join the student council.
Although she would be restricted by the school when choosing a college for further education, which would be troublesome to deal with, she believed that as long as Ren was there, her science grades would not always be worse than her liberal arts grades.
Fumino believed in Ren and his promise to her.
[Whether now or in the future, I can help you whenever you need it.]
This is what Ren said to her at that time, and Fumino still remembers it until now.
Thinking about this, Fumino felt that the student council was not so attractive to her.
"Okay, you have to think carefully about such an important matter." The smile on Kaguya's face could no longer be maintained.
"Class is almost here; we have to go back."
After checking the time, Rizu came up with the idea of saying goodbye.
"Goodbye."
"Thank you for your hospitality."
With these words, Fumino and Rizu left the student council room.
"Sigh."
Sitting alone in the empty room, Kaguya could only sigh.
Not even close.
If Ren joined the student council, Fumino and Rizu would definitely agree to her invitation immediately, instead of saying they would give her an answer after some time as they just did. She was sure of this.
(Really, we have to find a way to get him to join the student council...)
