Double Chapter within 24 Hours, Weird for me.

-Class-Almost Club Hours-

"There's a huge change regarding the Cultural Festival so we will advance the schedule and as you all know we need two representatives for our class." Sensei immediately announced.

"Ehh!" They start protesting.

Of course, the Students love the festival but not the Committee as it means a load of work compared to helping our class in deciding on what we will do this year.

I don't know why but Sensei automatically write my name for the boys.

I immediately raised my hand. "Sensei, I don't know why my name's automatically written there but you should know that I have a responsibility so I can't be written there."

Sensei frowns for a while but suddenly realized my meaning. "Right, you're part of SDC. Tch."

Oi, did she just click her tongue? You should know that my responsibility is harder compared in being a representative if and only if Mari didn't help me.

"Sensei…" An unknown red-haired girl raised her hand. "…I think Yuigahama-san is good for the position."

"Whaa!" Yuigahama caught unguarded.

"You should be fine as Yukinoshita-san should be there as well." She starts torturing Yuigahama's mind with her sugarcoated words meant for manipulation.

"I-I…" Yuigahama's nice girl attitude hits again as she's having a hard time to reject.

"Yui, you'll help us in the class right?" Miura interferes in the conversation.

"R-Right, Sorry Sagamin! I already promised to help in the class."

She frowns at Yuigahama's decision, luckily, Fire Queen is there to back her up.

"Now, Now, I think Sagami-san is more suited compared to Yui." Faker intervenes to avoid possible war.

Tch, I want to watch the war between the Fire Queen and Red Bitch. Killjoy as always.

"Y-You think…" She blushed when Hayama shows his ability, the Zone.

"…I-I think I won't do well." She answered while fiddling her fingers.

Oi, Oi, Am I seeing a bitch acting like a virgin? I'm the number one in terms of rejecting even though the output is a failure and the only thing that I see is that you only seek his attention more.

"If you wouldn't mind, can you help me?" She asked.

Hayama smiles wryly and looks for another potential scapegoat but he finds none so he also agreed.

Sucks to be you.

With that, the representative for Class 2-F are the Red Bitch, Sagami Minami, and the Faker, Hayama Hayato.

SDC is the best, I almost forced to be with that Bitch. Miura Yumiko is already too much for me.

Once Sensei announced that today will be the first day of the meeting, she immediately left the room.

I immediately pack my things as I don't want my habit to hit in and stealthily observes everyone.

"Hachiman!" I heard a pure sounded voice.

Ah! How soothing. I look up and see my angel smiling at me. H-How bright! Isn't he brighter today or have I become gloomier that's being purified as of now?

"T-Totsuka, you need something?" I stuttered.

I thought I'm getting used to him as I have been under rehabilitation by that two Yuki-Onnas but it looks like the outcome is the opposite. I shouldn't let them see me like this or I'll experience more rehabilitation.

He shakes his head and smiles. "Let's do our best to be the best class!"

"Of course," I answered immediately.

I don't mind using my dirty cards to win just for you but I'll use it as a last resort.

My answer caused him to amplify his cheerfulness.

I feel a lot of gazes on me. I peek at them and my classmates are staring at me. Yuigahama also looks concerned about me.

Are they jealous in our relationship?

"I think we're gathering attention," I said to Totsuka.

He gives me a concerned look. "I-I think it's because of this."

Stuttering? How cute.

I look at the phone that he shows.

Oh! It's a post from the newspaper club and they're also using social media.

It's nothing to concern, it's just me and Mari in the train sleeping next to each other.

No wonder they're killing me with gazes, even the Rugby Idiot and Baseball Idiot are glaring at me.

While looking at it once more, I felt a sudden chill.

I'll clarify myself; I don't care about what others think of me but the problem is the title the newspaper club used.

'Is this guy blackmailing one of Sobu's Beauty?' is what they used.

"Say Totsuka, is this only leak in social media?" I asked.

"I think they will release it in our School Newspaper today."

I'm starting to feel a chill. I think I'm just being imaginative like how I dream my other freak self.

Yes, it should be like that.

"Are you alright, Hachiman?" Totsuka asked.

"If it's me, I'm totally fine," I answered.

He looks confused but eventually smiles. "As long as you are fine and I believe that you are innocent."

This is how a smile should be, how about teaching that Faker?

While I feel the tension growing, I'm being protected by our own atmosphere.

*BAAAM*

The door slams open.

"SENPAI!" 2 boys pop out and it's none other than the SDC's kouhai.

"H-H-HIKIGAYA SENPAI!" Yoshimi also shouts while stuttering though.

"SENPAI BIG PROBLEM!" Isshiki who's rare called me instead of Hayama.

I think my imagination is becoming a reality. Let's just hope it's not.

"What?" I asked which caused them to finally found me.

The two idiots immediately dash forward while panting. "T-T-Tanaka S-S-Senpai…"

Their pointing somewhere I don't know, is this a guessing game?

"How about breathing first before talking to me?" I suggest which caused them to calm down and take a breather.

While they're doing it.

"SENPAI!" Isshiki shouts like there's an emergency.

"What? Can't you talk normally?" I asked.

"T-T-That's not the time Senpai," Yoshimi answered while looking on the wall beside me.

"Did you read the news?" Isshiki continues her rambling.

I nod.

"That's the problem SENPAI!" The two idiots finally talk normally.

"What is it? I don't mind anything about it since it's not the truth." I voiced my opinion.

"As expected from Senpai an Ideal Loner." The two showered me with praise which I don't mind at all.

Go praise me more and in the process follow me especially in my upcoming commands.

"Shut up you two!" Isshiki yells at the boys.

"W-We met Tanaka-senpai and Yukinoshita-senpai earlier," Yoshimi said.

"Then?"

"W-We showed the news to them."

I nod as I'm too positive right now.

"TANAKA-SENPAI IMMEDIATELY RUSHED TO THE NEWSPAPER CLUB!" Isshiki yells as she doesn't have any time in a calm conversation.

Yep, it will be the end of the Newspaper's club.

"Let's hope nothing will happen on the Newspaper Club." I urged them to help me in wishing for the club's best.

The two followed me while Isshiki grabs my collar and starts juggling me. "Senpai! Please stop Tanaka-Senpai, she's really scary when she hands back the phone!"

"Isshiki, if what you said is true, then I will voluntary exit as I don't want to be caught in her tyranny," I said.

"AHHH!" She yells and immediately drags me.

I look for help and automatically ask Totsuka with the use of eye contact.

He raised his hands and clenches it. "Good Luck Hachiman!"

"I'll do my best," I muttered.

…

…

I arrived first as I dashed from the third floor up to the ground floor.

The moment I step on the front of the Club's door, I didn't hear any sound at all.

I gulped and opened the door.

What entered in my eyes is Mari sitting on the supposed-to-be the President's chair while few members of the club are kneeling in front of her and no one's trying to look at her.

Yukinoshita is nowhere to be found, maybe she had been left as Mari is many times stronger than her in terms of stamina.

Mari looks at me and she's really scary. "It looks like the other person you guys need to apologize have arrived, how about fall in line and ask for forgiveness?"

Her words are too heavy for them as they follow her command and start falling in line.

While they are apologizing to me, the Kouhais arrived.

"Wow, Chief is still the best." The two idiots said.

Oi, both of you are praising the wrong person. Do you want the balance in the SDC crumbled?

"Y-Yes." Yoshimi nods.

"She's scarier than Yukinoshita-senpai," Isshiki added.

I just accept their apology but what happened next is they start sitting on their respective chairs with their head bowing on us.

"The first thing you'll do is to retrieve the newspapers the first-year members distribute as of right now, then print a proper title. Next is post another story which contains your mistake and apologizes to us the victims."

No matter where I look, she is more on the offending side not the offended.

"Lastly, the thing you guys did will be apprehended by us as you violate the proper responsibility of this club. The punishment will be decided on the later date together with the Student Council."

"I understand, Tanaka-san." The man who looks like the Chief of the Newspaper Club said.

"What do you want to be the new title?" He added.

Nice, you've successfully detonated the ice bomb as Mari's composure suddenly crumble and stealing gaze to me.

"How about accidentally dozed together?" I said.

The leader accepted but Mari declined with her eyes piercing me. "It won't take down the suspicion at all."

"Then think for me." I don't have any more idea except for changing the focus.

She nods. "If we can't destroy the student's misinterpretation then let's just accept it…"

She looks at the leader. "…change the title on us going out and take note that it came from me."

That caught the boys in the newspaper club to look gloomy.

The leader suggests. "I-I think we can tone it down by telling them honestly, no need to resort in this kind of gimmick."

"What gimmick?..." Mari frowns. "…we are really going out; did you think I carelessly have a physical contact in a random man because I'm tired?"

The gloomy atmosphere becomes gloomier. Reality hurts.

"You sure?" I ask if she won't mind.

"That's my question." She shifts the question to me.

"I don't care in other's opinion in the first place, I just came here to stop your tyranny…" She glares at me.

"…wrong word." I immediately tell my mistake.

"Then I worried for nothing…" She pressed her temples.

She looks back at the leader. "…Do it."

The Newspaper Club's boys did her command unwillingly while the girls looking at me.

"WOAH Senpai is the Best of the Best!" The two praised me again.

I'm having doubt in their loyalty.

"I-I didn't think Senpai would have a girlfriend, not to mention a beauty like Tanaka-senpai," Isshiki said.

"See, I'm right." Yoshimi starts praising herself in front of Isshiki.

"Then I'm done," I said as I want to get out in this suffocating room.

"Where are you going?" Mari my observer easily noticed me.

I smile. "Home."

She ignores me as she drags me out while looking at the Newspaper Club members one more time. "I hope that you will do it as soon as possible and if I ever heard one bad rumor later in the Committee, the penalty will be doubled."

They gulp at her threat. As expected from a businessman daughter, Scary.

The moment we head back to the SDC Office, people start looking at me with different expressions. It's because of the immediate post of the Newspaper Club which admits their mistake and clarified that we are going out.

I said I don't care about other's opinion but their gaze are irritating in my mind especially me being with my Kouhais as Mari said she will handle something.

…

MARI POV

I immediately separate from Hachiman as I headed to his former clubroom.

"Good afternoon," I said to the three girls.

"Good afternoon, Tanaka-san." Yukinoshita-san greets composedly.

"G-Good afternoon, Tanaka-chan." Yuigahama-san greets back.

"Good afternoon." Miura-san greets.

"What can we help you with?" Yukinoshita-san asked me.

"I believe you learned about the latest post of the Newspaper Club," I said which get a flinch from the two.

"Is it really true?" Miura-san asked.

"Of course, why would I lie in something personal?" I answered.

She nods. "Congratulations then."

"Thank you…" I said and look at the other two. "…what are your opinions?"

"What do you mean?" Yukinoshita-san's words are sharp.

"You know what I mean…" I look at her for a moment and shift at Yuigahama-san. "…how about you Yuigahama-san?"

"U-um, C-Congratulations." I look at her for a while.

"Thank you, I assume that you won't have a move on someone being taken?" I asked.

"W-What do you mean? I and Hikki are ju…just friends!" She said.

"I believe he didn't treat any of you like one and I'll ask again…" I give her a sharp look. "…you won't move on Hachiman, right?"

I earned silence from her.

"Why are you threatening Yui?..." Miura-san glares at me to defend her. "…It's not like she likes Hikio!"

"I'm threatening her because I believe she likes Hachiman," I answer back with a glare on my own.

She looks at Yuigahama-san who's remaining silent.

I look back at Yukinoshita. "I believe it's time for you to answer."

She looks at me straight. "What will you do if I started making a move with Hikigaya-kun?"

That earned a surprise from the other two.

"Nothing…" I said which add the number of surprised as Yukinoshita didn't expect my answer.

I look back at Yuigahama-san. "…how about you? Still using the Friend card?"

"I-I-I…" She clenched her fist and look at me as well. "…I think I still have a chance and I believe that you will do what you said."

"I'll correct what I said…" I give them a menacing look.

"…you liking Hachiman, I can turn a blind eye but once I learned that you are forcing him against his will. I don't mind playing the bad girl and let you both have the role of damsel in distress."

"Why are you talking like we will do it in a forceful way?" Yukinoshita asked.

I stand up and smile. "Because I fully trust him except for his laziness."

I give them a bow. "I'm sorry for forcing you to spill everything but I just don't want you to act that way in front of Hachiman…"

I look at them. "…I hope that what happened here doesn't destroy our good relationship."

"I may be a woman who's good at keeping a grudge but what you did is not included," Yukinoshita assures me.

"It's fine Tanaka-chan and I think you confronting us is unexpected," Yuigahama-san answered.

You're mistaken though, I won't confront you if I will be in the losing end, I'll just believe in him.

"Thank you." I offer them my gratitude and they accept it without any hint of hesitation.

I left the clubroom and starts heading back to the main building.

Along the way, I saw a familiar woman.

"Good afternoon Tanaka-san." She waves her hand at me.

"Good afternoon as well Yukinoshita-san, meeting your sister?" I asked.

"Of course, and I'll maybe look for Hikigaya-kun later." She said.

"I see, then I'll take my leave…" I start walking back but I suddenly stop when I'm near her.

"…I believe it's time for you to stop being curious with Hachiman." I said and didn't bother to look at her expression then continue to walk past her.

She shouts back. "What will you do if I stopped being curious with him?"

I stop walking. "Nothing…"

I turned around. "…and I believe you're not the only participant."

She smiles. "I think I have some idea who."

I also smile. "Good for you but my idea is somewhat different as I know who'll be the winner."

I remove my gaze from her and starts walking back to the main building, to be specific in the SDC Office which my major problem lies, it's none other than the person I blindly fell in love with, Hikigaya Hachiman.

My motivation is lacking in these past days but here you go.

I'm thankful to those who love this Story which I didn't expect at all.
