Crossover Anime: I'm at Shuchiin Academy, and my surname is Uchiha.

Chapter 11 An Invitation from the Student Council

Classroom of Class 1-B, Shuchiin High School.

"Uchiha-kun, Shirogane-kun, someone outside is looking for you."

Miyuki Shirogane put down the bread he was holding. "Is someone looking for you?"

Uchiha Ryo stood up. "Oh dear, we seem to have forgotten that the student council president told us to go to the student council office at noon."

The two entered the corridor and, as expected, saw the student council president wearing a hat. The glittering gold ribbon on his chest had already attracted the attention of many people around him.

"This isn't the place to talk. I need to speak with you. Uchiha-kun, Shirogane-kun, come with me."

In the empty student council classroom, Shirogane Miyuki curiously looked around, while Uchiha Ryo plopped down on the sofa.

"So, what does the student council president want with us?"

"Well... Uchiha-kun, don't be so formal. You can just call me President Nobunaga. As for inviting you two here today, it's because I want to invite you both to join the student council."

Uchiha Ryo refused without even thinking, "I won't join the student council."

The student council president paused, then chuckled dryly and looked at the two of them. "Don't refuse so soon. All the student council members this year are appointed by the president. Although you've both joined clubs, as far as I know, your club activities are quite leisurely, aren't they?"

Miyuki Shirogane looked up. "Why invite us? There are many more outstanding people in this school. For example, the others in the Classical Literature Club, or that freshman representative who gave the speech."

The student council president smiled and looked at Miyuki Shirogane, "The Kaguya of the Shinomiya family, and the young ladies of the Yukinoshita and Chitanda families are indeed very outstanding. However, it is a pity that they declined the student council's invitation long ago."

"Besides, there are some things they can't do, which is why I invited the two of you."

Miyuki Shirogane sighed, "Even they can't do it? You're asking us outsiders..."

The student council president spoke first.

"We are all like flowers living in a precious bonsai garden called Shuchiin, and we need someone to look at the whole Shuchiin from an objective and complete perspective. Therefore, I invite two external students to join the student council. Please join us and share your insights."

Shirogane Miyuki fell silent.

Uchiha Ryo stood up. "President Nobunaga, although it is very sincere of you to come and invite me, an outsider, I still refuse."

"However, I do think Shirogane Miyuki could join."

Shirogane turned to look at Uchiha Ryo with a puzzled expression, while Uchiha Ryo slowly met the student council president's gaze.

"The school needs an outsider with broad perspectives to join the student council, and outsiders also need to survive in this troublesome school. I believe that Shirogane can successfully act as a link to make Shuchiin even better."

"Uchiha..."

[Shirogane Miyuki's favorability increased - Points +20]

The student council president chuckled. "Well said, but I'd like to know, why can't this person be you, Uchiha-kun?"

"Me? The student council can't hold onto this prodigal son's heart. My goal is the stars and the sea, I don't have time to participate in your student council's work."

Simply put, if coming to your student council doesn't earn me any goodwill, then what's the point of coming?!

.....

"Uchiha, I still don't understand, why me..."

"Why not you? Work hard. Maybe you think that all the students in Shuchiin High School have a head start from birth, then work hard to catch up."

Uchiha Ryo said casually.

"The first monthly exam after enrollment is in a week. If you can surpass those people with your grades, no one will look down on you."

Shirogane Miyuki gave a wry smile. "Does the third-ranked student think I, as the ninth-ranked student, can actually achieve this?"

"Whether it can be done or not is one thing; whether it's done at all is another..."

Pushing open the door to the Classics Club, the two of them were a little late today. Amakusa Shinobu, Yukinoshita, and Chitanda were already sitting there, seemingly chatting about something.

Amakusa Shino: "Seriously, I just went to check, and my hair has split because I haven't combed it in so long."

Chitanda: "I have a comb in my bag that I can lend to the department head."

Yukino: "A person has more than 100,000 hairs in total, and it's normal for them to split if you don't comb them for a while."

Amakusa Shino looked at Yukinoshita with a blank expression, "Eh, I wasn't talking about her hair. It's...

"Ahem, sorry Minister, we're late."

Uchiha Ryo sat down to Amakusa Shino's right, separating her from Yukinoshita. He was genuinely afraid that the clash between shamelessness and aloofness would taint everyone with their captain's irreverence.

"Yukinoshita-san, is there any progress on Chitanda-san's matter?"

To prevent the Amakusa Shino virus from spreading, Uchiha Ryo quickly steered the conversation to serious matters.

Yukino glanced at the Uchiha, nodded, and picked up a stack of books from the bookshelf.

"I went to Chitanda's house to investigate yesterday. Chitanda had already recalled that when she asked her uncle, she seemed to have asked about the publications of the Classic Literature Department."

"Around noon today, Minister Amakusa and I found a publication that had been gathering dust for many years, a book called 'Hyouka'."

As expected of Yukino Yukinoshita. She found the crucial clue in a short time, but unfortunately, the clue seems to end with "Hyouka".

Chitanda Eru stood up and took out a copy of the second issue of "Hyouka" from the stack of books. The cover featured a watercolor painting of a group of rabbits, but among the rabbits, there seemed to be a wolf as well.

"This is it!"

"Back then, I took this book to ask my uncle..."

Uchiha Ryo took the "Hyouka" book. "In other words, once this is deciphered, what happened back then and why you cried should become clear."

Yukino Yukinoshita stood up and took the "Hyouka" manga from Ryo Uchiha's hand. "I'll take it home and read it carefully today. I'll let you know if there's any news tomorrow, Chitanda."

"Yes! Thank you, Yukinoshita-san!"

Chitanda Eru ran over and sat down next to Yukinoshita, gently hugging the girl who was holding the book.

Although it looks nice to see two beautiful girls sticking together, but... "Yukinoshita, since it's a club request, there's no need for you to handle everything."

Yukinoshita looked up. "If you, Uchiha-kun, want to see it first, that's fine, but whether you can decipher it depends on your abilities."

"Oh? So you're quite confident, Yukinoshita-san."

"certainly."

Chitanda glanced at the two who had suddenly become tense, and hurriedly waved her hands left and right. "Um... please don't fight because of me."

As the only second-year student, Amakusa Shino tapped the table. "Club members need to be united, okay? Exciting love triangles like one boy and one girl arguing over another girl are not allowed in our club!"

Uchiha Ryo: "....."

He had actually thought this senior would say something nice.
