Chapter 442: Be Yukino Hikigaya? It's up to you to prove it.
"Live for yourself, Yukino."
Upon hearing Hachiman's words, the girl fell silent.
Indeed, upon closer examination, she realized she had been chasing after her sister's shadow since childhood, hoping to one day surpass her.
In the end, it was simply her own competitiveness at play.
Whenever someone praised Haruno in her presence, Yukino couldn't help but feel a bit resentful.
Repeating the same actions as her sister was just a way to prove that she was better.
But even if she eventually succeeded in surpassing her sister one day, would she truly be happy then?
...
As the saying goes, those directly involved are often blind to the truth, while bystanders see clearly.
Yukino, who had been immersed in the dream of "surpassing the class," may not have noticed anything, but Hachiman, as an outsider, could see everything clearly.
Watching Yukino stray further and further down the path of chasing after Haruno, gradually losing herself, even violating her own code of conduct that she had personally set.
After a moment of silence, Yukino lifted her head again.
"I understand. I'll apologize to Sagami-san tomorrow and step down from the executive committee."
Hearing this, Hachiman shook his head with a smile.
"No need for that. You don't have to resign from the executive committee. In fact, if you were to leave, the efficiency of the committee would indeed decrease significantly without you."
"But what about Sagami-san?" Yukino still hesitated.
Shrugging, Hachiman continued, "Don't worry, I've already talked to Sagami-san. She'll remain as the chairperson of the executive committee, and you'll just assist her as you originally promised."
So, he's been helping me all along.
Seeing that Hachiman had already sorted everything out, a warmth filled Yukino's heart.
"Thank you for helping me."
To the girl's gratitude, Hachiman just smiled faintly.
"It's nothing. I've always said I would help you from the beginning. Besides, you're the one who's supposed to become Yukino Hikigaya in the future, so it's only natural for me to help you."
Upon hearing him mention that name again, Yukino blushed slightly.
"Hmph, don't be too full of yourself. Whether I become Yukino Hikigaya in the future depends on your performance."
Seeing the girl acknowledge the name of Yukino Hikigaya, Hachiman felt a sense of satisfaction. It seemed his efforts hadn't been in vain.
However, the revolution is not yet successful, and comrades still need to strive.
After some small talk, the two of them got down to business.
"Yukino, since you've been appointed as the vice chairperson by Sagami-san, you do have the authority to participate in many decisions. However, you must remember that the final decision-making authority still lies with Sagami-san as the chairperson."
"I understand. I did make some mistakes before, and I'll improve," Yukino nodded.
Hachiman smiled, "As long as you understand. Although Sagami-san has the final say, as the vice chairperson, you can still voice your 'opinions' if she makes any questionable decisions."
"I believe Sagami-san will also consider your suggestions."
"And even if Sagami-san isn't good at this kind of thing, it's okay. We can help her organize a task list for the chairperson's duties, so she can follow the tasks on the list."
"As for me, I'll continue to handle the original record-keeping and miscellaneous tasks. If any problems arise, I'll be there to help you guys promptly."
After listening to Hachiman's arrangements, Yukino felt a bit helpless.
It felt like Hachiman had become the hidden boss behind the scenes.
It was like working hard to reach the final level, only to find out that the final boss was an inconspicuous NPC from the early stages.
But since Hachiman had already arranged everything, Yukino didn't have any objections.
After all, based on past experience, Hachiman was quite reliable.
After the two of them discussed everything, it was almost dinner time.
Hachiman wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, so he immediately texted Komachi and stayed at Yukino's apartment to eat before leaving.
Seeing his somewhat cheeky demeanor, Yukino had no choice but to make an extra dinner.
The sky had already darkened, and lights were beginning to illuminate outside the window.
At this moment, Hachiman and Yukino were just like any other family.
Under the glow of the lights, they enjoyed a simple and warm dinner together.
....
In the meeting room, each executive committee member was busy with their respective tasks. Thanks to Hachiman's intervention, there was no shortage of manpower as in the original story. Everyone performed their duties, and although busy, they didn't experience the overwhelming workload.
During these days, Manami also experienced growth under the "guidance" of Hachiman and Yukino. She began to resemble more of an executive committee chairperson. At least she could handle the work assignments for each group, and if there were any shortcomings, Yukino would step in to supplement and arrange.
With orderly arrangements and occasional encouragement from Iroha, everything proceeded smoothly.
At this moment, Yukino was sitting at the computer wearing the glasses Hachiman had bought earlier, typing away. There were already many processed documents placed beside her.
Sitting next to her was Minami, who was now the chairperson of the executive committee. Unlike the leisurely portrayal in the original story, she was diligently learning how to handle various documents. If she encountered any problems, she would discuss with Yukino, but most of the time, she listened while Yukino spoke.
Everything seemed to be going well. As long as they maintained this momentum, there shouldn't be any major issues with the cultural festival.
Just then, the door of the meeting room was pulled open, and a cheerful voice echoed in. It was Hayama, holding a form in his hand.
"Sorry to disturb. I'm here to submit the application form for the performance schedule," Hayama said as he entered.
"Please go to the right side to submit the form," Yukino replied without lifting her head.
"Thank you."
Unconcerned by her cold demeanor, Hayama headed to the designated area on the right. After submitting the form, he didn't immediately leave but instead approached Hachiman.
"Everything seems to be going smoothly," he remarked.
"Yeah, more or less," Hachiman responded nonchalantly.
"How are the class performances coming along?"
"The rehearsals are going smoothly, and the costumes have been made, thanks to Kawasaki. She's really talented," Hayama smiled.
Hachiman nodded, unsurprised by Kawasaki Saki's sewing skills. Given her busy parents, she likely took on a caretaker role for her siblings, including sewing and mending.
"It looks like Hikigaya-kun has been working hard lately too," Hayama observed, noticing the files piled up next to Hachiman.
"I'm doing fine. I'm just handling recording and miscellaneous tasks. In terms of workload, it's nothing compared to what Yukino and the others are dealing with," Hachiman replied.
"Yeah, it seems like Yukinoshita is shouldering more of the burden," Hayama agreed, glancing at Yukino, who was still busy.
During this period, others also entered the meeting room, some submitting performance applications, others raising equipment or manpower issues. With the cultural festival approaching, the number of visitors increased, adding pressure to the executive committee members.
However, with Yukino's efficient management and Minami's growth under her guidance, things were proceeding smoothly. With the leadership of the chairperson and vice-chairperson, each department's tasks were progressing well.
Observing this, Hayama spoke again, "It seems like Sagami-san has grown a lot recently. It's been a while since she went out with her classmates. It seems like she's fully dedicated to the cultural festival."
"Do you know anything about that, Hikigaya-kun?"
