All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends-Chapter 238: Suou Yuki: President Shinomiya, why did you end up conquering yourself?

"The so-called happy education is essentially just a method to eliminate the ruler's threats."

"Ignorant people bring peace to the nation, while an enlightened populace leads to chaotic times."

Yukima Azuma expressed his opinion.

The Western education system—

The divide between "happy education" in public schools and "elite education" in private schools was overly apparent.

This was simply a trade-off.

Abandoning the supply of potential talents from the lower classes—

In exchange for a populace that was even more ignorant and easier to govern.

Upon hearing this, Suou Yuki and Shinomiya Kaguya both nodded in agreement.

After a brief discussion,

The three of them each had their own direction for writing their reports.

The extracurricular activity report at Shuchiin, of course, was not just a perfunctory piece of writing.

It was an important component that contributed to the social practice evaluation score.

If they simply wrote a superficial report and submitted it, they would definitely lose points.

And just as this topic came to a close—

A knock suddenly echoed at the door.

The three exchanged glances.

"Who could it be?" Suou Yuki wondered.

( ╹ -╹)?

Yukima Azuma shook his head. "No idea. Secretary Fujiwara probably wouldn't knock; she has a key to the room."

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Shinomiya Kaguya stood up and walked over to open the door.

The moment the door swung open—

Standing outside in the hallway was a male student in the Shuchiin uniform.

Shinomiya Kaguya did not recognize him.

Yukima Azuma looked outside—

He felt the boy seemed somewhat familiar.

Probably a classmate.

But as for his name, Yukima Azuma truly couldn't remember.

"Ah, President Shinomiya, hello."

Seeing Shinomiya Kaguya open the door, the male student immediately greeted her politely.

Shinomiya Kaguya gave a slight nod.

Then, she asked with a hint of doubt, "Is there something you need?"

The male student scratched his cheek, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Ehm, I want to ask Vice President Yukima of the student council about something."

The Shuchiin student council, aside from being a powerful organization,

also had the role of assisting students.

For academic or personal concerns, students could seek advice from the council.

Of course, hardly anyone actually did so.

The worries of prestigious families' children were not easy to confide in others.

After all, even the slightest carelessness could turn into leverage for others to exploit.

Hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya was surprised but still stepped aside to let him in.

"If it's about seeking advice, coincidentally, Suou-san and I are here as well, so we might be able to help."

She spoke casually.

But it was just an act.

She did not know the male student in front of her.

Which meant he had neither the qualifications nor the value to be recruited.

To put it bluntly—he was not worth Shinomiya Kaguya's attention.

"Ah, President Shinomiya, this is a matter between male students."

The male student awkwardly declined.

Shinomiya Kaguya blinked.

A matter between male students?

(⊙_⊙)

She glanced at Suou Yuki.

The two quickly came to a conclusion.

Oh, it was most likely that kind of issue.

Romantic advice.

"If that's the case, Suou-san and I will head back to our room first."

Saying that, the two of them walked away together.

Eventually, they entered Shinomiya Kaguya's room.

The male student let out a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

As for the character of this esteemed president-sama, he had complete trust.

Moreover, the presidential suite had incredible soundproofing—so long as the door was shut tight,

the conversation in the lounge would certainly remain unheard.

...

Inside the Room—

"President Shinomiya, aren't you curious about Azuma-kun's views on romance?"

"This is a great opportunity. Through love counseling, you can grasp his perspective on relationships."

( ≖‿ ≖ )

Suou Yuki whispered.

Like the whisper of a devil.

Shinomiya Kaguya hesitated slightly.

(,,¬﹏¬,,)

She was indeed very curious.

A person's views on romance could reflect many aspects of their true personality.

If she could understand Yukima Azuma's perspective on love—

Then, in terms of information, she would have a significant advantage in bringing Yukima Azuma under her control.

But… this suggestion came from a competitor.

Moreover, the method was far from honorable.

What should she do? Accept a win-win situation, compete in perceptiveness with Suou Yuki, or abandon it altogether?

After a brief moment of thought, Shinomiya Kaguya slightly cracked the door open.

Suou Yuki smirked mischievously.

(≖⩊≖)

...

Meanwhile, in the Lounge—

Looking at the male student whose name he couldn't even remember,

Yukima Azuma raised an eyebrow slightly.

Who would have thought there'd come a day when he would have to take on the role of a love counselor?

But from a guy as straight as steel who had now mastered the psychology of girls,

Serving as a love advisor was hardly a challenge for Yukima Azuma.

"Vice President Yukima, actually, I wanted to ask for love advice."

"You must be really good at romance!"

"After all, even with someone as intimidating as Shijo-san, you can still get along well!"

The male student got straight to the point—so it was indeed a love consultation.

And in class,

Shijo Maki, to most people—except for a handful of female students—

Really did look at everyone as if they were garbage.

That was just the typical demeanor of a tsundere.

And Yukima Azuma, the expert in teasing tsunderes—

Had become the only male student who had a publicly good relationship with Shijo Maki.

Meanwhile, the two people secretly eavesdropping in the other room, besides getting insights into his romantic views,

Had unexpectedly also received an important piece of intelligence.

Suou Yuki glanced at Shinomiya Kaguya and whispered:

"If I remember correctly, Shijo Maki is related to President Shinomiya, right?"

Shinomiya Kaguya gave a small nod.

Her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The person she had her eyes on was already being contested by outsiders.

But why was even her own family trying to dig up her foundation?

ᕙ( ᗒᗣᗕ )ᕗ

Just thinking about Shijo Maki—

Shinomiya Kaguya felt a headache coming on.

By familial relation, Kaguya was technically Maki's third-generation grandaunt.

Though they were blood relatives, their generational gap was absurdly wide.

Despite being the same age, even born on the same day, their relationship was extremely poor.

Shinomiya Kaguya had initially planned to recruit that girl into her faction.

But Maki always maintained a distant, strictly professional stance.

Which made Shinomiya Kaguya unable to like her at all.

Back in the Lounge—

Yukima Azuma nodded.

Though there was a bit of misunderstanding, he saw no need to explain anything to the male student in front of him.

"Alright, I got it. Do you have a specific question?"

"A girl in my class… I want to confess to her!"

(,,>﹏<,,)

To be honest, Yukima Azuma had no impression of the person this guy was talking about.

But since these two had nothing to do with him anyway,

It didn't matter if he didn't know.

"So, you're asking about how to confess?"

"Actually, I'm still a bit hesitant. I don't know what she thinks of me."

"Have the two of you interacted before?"

"On Valentine's Day, I received chocolate from her."

"Oh? What kind?"

(•̪ o •̪)

"Umm… three chocolate candies, so probably obligation chocolate, right?"

"Umu, of course, it's obligation chocolate."

(ᵕ—ᴗ—)

"She also once asked me if I had a girlfriend. I said no, and then she and her friends burst out laughing. She was definitely teasing me, right?"

"Umu, of course, she was teasing."

(ᵕ—ᴗ—)

Yukima Azuma bluntly affirmed, making the male student's face turn pale.

"Coach, do you think I still have a chance?"

༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

Carrying a final glimmer of hope, the male student asked.

Meanwhile, the two girls in the room exchanged glances.

There was no chance at all—no matter how they looked at it.

Both of them shared the same thought.

It didn't seem like a relationship that could develop into love in any way.

However, Yukima Azuma's answer was:

"Umu, you have a chance."

ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Upon hearing that, the male student immediately brightened up.

He was on the verge of kneeling down in gratitude.

"Confess directly, don't use a love letter or anything like that. You have to say it to her face."

"Use a method like kabedon, be decisive."

ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Yukima Azuma offered his advice.

The male student listened and nodded seriously.

But soon after, he hesitated and asked:

"But… she doesn't have feelings for me, does she?"

Yukima Azuma shrugged.

"That's right. Which is why you need to make her realize that you're someone who has the potential to enter a romantic relationship."

"If you keep going like this, you'll only become a certain kind of friend, and the closer you get, the further you'll be from love."

"But right now, the two of you already have a certain level of acquaintance. If you confess immediately, under the influence of a shift in perception, there's still a chance of success."

After hearing this analysis, the male student nodded vigorously.

"Naruhodo! I understand now! Thank you, Vice President Yukima, for your immense grace!"

◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜

With that, he charged out of the room, brimming with determination.

Yukima Azuma watched his retreating figure and took another sip from Shinomiya Kaguya's tea.

He hadn't deceived the guy.

That was indeed the optimal choice for him.

After all, the kid was already a fool—there was no other way to maneuver, so charging straight ahead was his best bet.

But if it were Yukima Azuma—

In this situation, he wouldn't confess right away.

Instead, he would skillfully create events to cultivate an ambiguous atmosphere.

He would gradually make the other person recognize the possibility of seeing him as a romantic prospect.

From there, he would shift their perception while increasing their affection. Finally, at the moment of highest success probability, he would make his move.

...

Inside the Room—

Shinomiya Kaguya and Suou Yuki silently locked eyes.

Was that really the case?

The two of them carefully reconsidered.

It seemed… he was right.

At the very least, when Shinomiya Kaguya asked herself—

If Yukima Azuma were to suddenly confess to her.

Σ(°ロ°)

Until now, she had only seen him as someone to recruit.

But perhaps… her heart would beat faster.

(∩˃o˂∩)♡

Under the influence of a shift in perception.

If Yukima Azuma confessed… it didn't seem entirely unacceptable?

At this thought, Shinomiya Kaguya immediately placed her left hand against her cheek.

"(ノ _ <,, )

If she didn't quickly activate her calm mode, her expression was going to fall apart!

Just from a simple hypothesis, her view of Yukima Azuma had suddenly shifted into a vague kind of affection.

Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes widened.

This was terrifying!

( ˶°ㅁ°) !!

Things she hadn't even realized about herself—he understood them so clearly.

No, wait. Why was he so proficient at this?

At that thought, an inexplicable sourness welled up inside her.

Beside her, Suou Yuki observed Shinomiya Kaguya's change.

The corner of her eye twitched slightly.

President Shinomiya… is she in the process of Conquering herself?

As for Onii-chan-sama, this wasn't just a high-level playboy anymore.

This had to be called a master of seduction!

It looked like she needed to speed things up.

If she kept delaying, as the so-called "Imouto-chan" in name, she might not even have a chance to compete!
