Before a grand performance begins, the stage is usually darkened, and then a sudden ray of light uses this strong contrast to attract everyone in that direction. The performers on the stage are what everyone is chasing.

A leader on the road. People will naturally obey the direction of that leader, and will not even question whether the previous darkness was a situation deliberately created by the leader in order to achieve the best leadership effect.

No one will think about this. Just like the noisy voices in the dark will automatically press the stop switch when the opening ceremony is announced, people will adapt to the leadership of someone else so commonplace. That is,

It is said that the last thing the so-called masses have to do is to obey an authority, whether it is a decree, a leader, or something else that is coercive.

Therefore, the question is just whether what this authority instills into the public is their true future direction. As for the self-awakening of the public that I once longed for, it is ultimately just an empty talk.

Admittedly, if you want to ask whether there are people who have undergone self-awakening, I certainly think that there are. At least, I believe that when Sister Yui and I solemnly made her declaration, Isshiki and I exhausted

When expressing their willingness to part ways, they should have done this to some extent. However, the fact that more people are unable to do so has nothing to do with their own intelligence. Even extremely smart people will unconsciously fall into

The quagmire of being dominated by others.

For example, Yukinoshita Yukino, who is standing quietly alone in the corner of the dark stage in a few minutes, will become the center of attention on the stage. Of course she remains as calm as ever in front of other people, but, only I know,

The foundation stone under Yukinoshita's feet is so unstable.

Of course, maybe I'm not the only one who knows. Hikigaya, who is also responsible for adjusting the lighting backstage with me, may also know.

I don’t know what kind of mentality Hikigaya has now: I think, in theory, he should be satisfied with the status quo. He doesn’t like to cause trouble. Every time he tries to help other people solve their problems, he is rejected.

I took the lead, which objectively allowed him to relax in his work on the executive committee, and this was also the case. Although there was an issue in the middle of trying to help Yukinoshita at the request of my sister, I also used my

The solution was resolved thanks to my sister who never seemed to consider giving her expectations to me to anyone else.

However, I felt that Hikigaya would be unhappy. While solving the problem, I also criticized his way of doing things without any restraint. To a certain extent, I was preventing Hikigaya by taking the lead in solving all problems.

"self-sacrifice".

And at least so far, my approach has no loopholes. So, in the last ten minutes of chatting before the opening of the cultural festival, I seemed to be able to calmly discuss some things with Hikigaya Hachiman-senpai.

"I've been thinking about what would happen to this year's cultural festival without me? This is an interesting hypothesis, isn't it?"

"I don't know anything else, but without you, Yukinoshita wouldn't be the Chairman of the Executive Committee." Although Hikigaya seemed to be staring at the instrument in front of him very intently, he still replied to me seriously.

.

"But with Yukinoshita's character, I think she will eventually become an executive committee led by her, right? That guy can't tolerate imperfections?"

"The premise is that this executive committee is so bad that she finds it intolerable." Hikigaya shook his head and said in a cover-up manner.

"If everyone thinks the same as Hikigaya-senpai, wouldn't this be impossible?"

"But there will always be motivated guys."

"If a motivated guy doesn't have the ability, he can easily be ignored. Wasn't that what happened last year?"

"It's different every year."

The purpose of provoking this conversation is to deduce the results that will occur when Hikigaya takes action to solve the problem. I am confident that the results of his approach will be worse than mine. However, Hikigaya is obviously very careful.

avoids this issue.

However, he was still unwilling to give in.

"By the way, Yukinoshita, is everything okay now?" When he spoke again, his eyes focused on Yukinoshita Yukino.

"As you can see, wherever Chairman Jianfeng points, I can help her solve all problems."

"Yuigahama, you are not suitable for making wisecracks. You always give people a strange feeling when you say these words."

"Similarly, Hikigaya-senpai, you are not suitable for preaching. When you say these words, you always give people the feeling that you are not convincing enough." I shrugged and replied.

"The situation under Yukinoshita is actually not as good as what she showed, right?"

"She just lost her direction temporarily. For people in her position, it is very scary once hesitation and lack of confidence in themselves appear, so what we have to do is to continuously strengthen her self-confidence.

No matter what method is used. In fact, we have done it. As long as Yukinoshita's state is confident and unwavering, others will not hinder her, right?"

"but"

"You lose when you say 'but', Hikigaya-senpai. If you want to use your method and face too much opposition, then break up the opposition group. This is of course

A good method. However, when facing the next wave of counterattack, Yukinoshita is still powerless to oppose it, right? Therefore, the key issue is not how to restrain the enemy, but to consolidate his authority as much as possible. The opponent will never be able to

What can be eradicated, and only one’s own abilities can be constantly improved, isn’t that true?”

"Yukishita has not realized the current situation." Hikigaya turned his head and whispered.

"So, there is no need for her to notice now. The problem now is the cultural festival. Help her survive the cultural festival. With Yukinoshita's talent, she will realize her problem sooner or later. This goes back to the tiger we started with

When it comes to sheep, there is only one tiger, and it will die sooner or later, while the sheep can continue to multiply. Our time is our greatest advantage, and if we last until the end of the celebration, isn't it a victory?"

"I hope it will be what you imagined, right?" Hikigaya stared at me for a long time and finally said, "But, Yuigahama, you can't help Yukinoshita out every time."

"That's true, but Hikigaya-senpai, don't you think you see Yukinoshita as too fragile?"

The reason why I believe in Yukinoshita so much also comes from my long-term struggle experience with her. If Yukinoshita Yukino has really fallen into a stage where she cannot stand without my support, it will undoubtedly be a disservice to me before.

The biggest insult to this opponent who has no choice but to do anything.

Therefore, while practicing my own opinions, I will also believe in Yukinoshita Yukino.

This is not the first time I have experienced the opening ceremony of a cultural festival, but I was really surprised by the unexpected enthusiasm that the students of Sobu High School showed before the school festival started.

Perhaps students with high deviation values ​​always choose this time to explode because their emotions have been suppressed for too long?

If at the beginning of the countdown everyone was just quietly maintaining a certain degree of restraint, at the end of the countdown, the sounds of "three", "two", and "one" had almost become the collective cry of the entire school.

Whether they are indifferent people or enthusiastic people, they are all truly "burning" at this time.

From this perspective, the cultural festival slogan without much thought was quite successful.

President Cheng, who usually looks very gentle, seemed to be uncharacteristically excited in order to cope with the situation at the scene: "Everyone, are you going to burst into flames?"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

"It seems to be winter now, but everyone, tell me, is it cold now?"

"No!"

“From brand new”

“To the brand new cultural festival!”

"So, from now on"

"Let it burn!"

Although a considerable number of students, including the executive committee members of each class, played a "trustee" role here, it is not necessarily true that the atmosphere at the scene was purely guided by these people.

Of course, this is the reality. The combination of the agitated masses and the adaptable elites of the masses is the most effective way of agitation in modern times. The automatic fusion of the ideas of the masses and the ideas instilled by the elites.

Members of the Dance Lovers Association and the Cheerleading Club used dance music to push the atmosphere of the opening ceremony to a climax from the beginning. Of course, if there is a rock band at this time, the effect may be better. However, who let our light music fans

Yes, there are only four members in it?

"Work, work!" came the voice of an unknown person in charge from the earphones.

Of course, after entering work, there is no time to care about what complicated things are happening on site.

The task of switching sound and lighting is much more important than imagined.

However, the most important thing about the opening ceremony of the cultural festival is the speech from the Chairman of the Executive Committee. Although most people may sneer at this speech, it is a rare occasion when the Chairman of the Executive Committee appears in front of everyone.

One of the few opportunities especially for the closing speech has been given to Isshiki.

"Chairman Yukinoshita, please prepare."

I looked at the snow on the other side of the stage from a distance.

To a certain extent, the following speech is the end of this battle. Although the specific cultural festival is also important, after the opening ceremony, it means that the preliminary preparations of the Executive Committee have been completely completed. Execution

It is natural for committee members to want to enjoy the cultural festival like normal students.

"Next, I would like to invite Yukinoshita Yukino, one of the executive committee members of the cultural festival, to give a speech." The introduction voice of the student council president sounded just right.

Yukinoshita walked to the center of the stage with dignity.

In front of other people, Yukinoshita Yukino is always calm and calm.

"Don't underestimate your own minister, Hikigaya-senpai!" I smiled gently at Hikigaya beside me and said.

A supported leader, provided that she still has the ability to become a leader!

Okay, I know I can't write this chapter well, but I really don't know how to write this chapter. I was stuck on Sunday and couldn't think of anything, so I didn't update it. I thought it would be too bad if I don't update it today, so I just managed to write it.

The purpose is to create the atmosphere of "Kazuya has a great advantage, and Kazuya is on top" (looking at the sky). In short, let's experience it for ourselves! In short, the three days of the cultural festival are the time when conflicts are concentrated, but

It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a solution, eh.

Also, at the end of the last volume, it was said that the cultural festival would be completed in two volumes. I didn’t expect that it could be concluded in one volume. The plot progressed much faster than I expected. So, is it not a dream to complete two more volumes?
Chapter completed!
