<div>
"Kyoya-kun is so thoughtful and kind to Tsubaki!"
<div>
<div>
Hearing the girls'' comments, Tsubaki blushed and offered me her thanks, though she was still a little flustered.
<div>
<div>
"Th—Thank you, Kyoya-kun, for holding back. And, you don''t have to be so formal with us. Just call me Tsubaki."
<div>
<div>
I smiled and replied, "Alright, Tsubaki!"
<div>
<div>
After thinking for a while, Sona finally spoke.
<div>
<div>
"Kyoya-kun."
<div>
<div>
"What is it?"
<div>
<div>
I turned to look at Sona, a little confused.
<div>
<div>
"Kyoya-kun, I''d like to invite you to join the Student Council!"
<div>
<div>
"...."
<div>
<div>
As if he had already guessed what was coming, I could only sigh and reply with a wry smile.
<div>
<div>
"Hmm, and then you''ll invite me to become your peerage member again, right, Sona?"
<div>
<div>
"Sigh, how did you know? Don''t tell me Rias already used the same tactic?" Sona asked, surprised.
<div>
<div>
"That''s right, in fact—"
<div>
<div>
I then explained how Rias had tried to persuade Asia to join her.
<div>
<div>
Sona nodded, but then her expression turned resolute.
<div>
<div>
"I see. So, Rias failed. But will you refuse me as well? Even if I fail countless times, as long as there''s a chance, I won''t give up on you!"
<div>
<div>
Seeing Sona''s determination, which mirrored Rias''s, I couldn''t help but feel a headache coming on.
<div>
<div>
"—Is that a confession? If I asked you to marry me as a condition for becoming your peerage member, would you agree?"
<div>
<div>
But Sona took my teasing seriously. "If I agreed, would you become my peerage member?"
<div>
<div>
I answered without hesitation. "No, I wouldn''t."
<div>
<div>
"!!!"
<div>
<div>
"Why not? Am I not good enough for you!?"
<div>
<div>
Sona was not happy to hear my immediate rejection. It made her feel like she lacked charm, as if I wouldn''t accept her even if she were offered to me for free.
<div>
<div>
"That''s not it. You''re very attractive, Sona, and you''ve always been a girl I''ve admired. But I don''t want to obtain you this way. I want you to fall in love with me for who I am."

<div>
My almost-confession made the other girls look at their president with envy, murmuring under their breath.
<div>
<div>
Seeing the expressions of the other Student Council members, I boldly declared, "However, I, Kyoya Hibari, am a man who aspires to have a large harem! So, it''s not just Sona. Everyone in the Student Council is a target of mine."
<div>
<div>
Sona and the other girls: "..."
<div>
<div>
In contrast, the bold and lively Yura was all smiles. "I support you, Kyoya-kun! Just don''t forget about me!"
<div>
<div>
Even Sona blushed at the first statement. After all, she was just a high school girl!
<div>
<div>
"Now then, can you join the Student Council?"
<div>
<div>
I looked at the girls before me. "—Sure."
<div>
<div>
...
<div>
<div>
...
<div>
<div>
"Sona, are you trying to steal Kyoya-kun from us? If so, we won''t stand for it!" Just as we were discussing this, several figures appeared in the distance. It was Rias and her group.
<div>
<div>
"Rias, why are you here?" Sona asked, surprised.
<div>
<div>
Rias pouted, a little jealous. "Hmph, if I had arrived any later, you would have ''sweet-talked'' Kyoya-kun into joining the Student Council."
<div>
<div>
"Rias, what do you mean by ''sweet-talked''? Besides, Kyoya-kun himself declared his intention to have a harem. With so many girls in the Student Council, I''m sure he''d want to join us!" Sona adjusted her glasses and retorted, not backing down.
<div>
<div>
Tsubaki also voiced her support, though her cheeks were flushed. "That''s right. The Student Council would also welcome Kyoya-kun very much. Besides, We could all learn from him."
<div>
<div>
"Agreed!" The other Student Council members chimed in.
<div>
<div>
After all, the Occult Research Club had the two most popular girls in the academy, Rias and Akeno, as well as Koneko.
<div>
<div>
Naturally, they saw the Occult Research Club as their main romantic rivals, and they were all trying to find ways to secure an advantage.
<div>
<div>
Akeno, seeing the girls'' infatuated expressions, couldn''t help but tease, "Kyoya-kun, you''re such a player, charming so many pretty girls—"
<div>
<div>
"...."
<div>
<div>
The Student Council girls knew who Akeno was referring to, and they all blushed and lowered their heads.
<div>
<div>
Koneko, on the other hand, just glared at me and muttered under her breath, "He''s only been gone for a little while and already charmed so many girls. Just a perverted H-senpai, as always!"
<div>
<div>
I chose to ignore Koneko''s comment.
<div>
<div>
"Onii-sama belongs to me! You... you can''t steal him from me!" Just then, Asia, with a determined expression, hugged my arm tightly, glaring at the other girls.
<div>
<div>
Feeling the softness pressing against my arm, I shivered slightly.
<div>
<div>
I couldn''t take it anymore, so I made an excuse to leave.
<div>
<div>
"Cough, ahem, Asia-chan, why don''t you get to know the Student Council members? I''m just going to step out to buy a drink!"
<div>
<div>
....
<div>
<div>
....
<div>
<div>
"Um, Kyoya-kun, wait a moment! I have something I want to say to you!"
<div>
<div>
But just as I reached a quiet courtyard, Yura suddenly appeared behind me and called out to me.
<div>
<div>
Seeing that it was Yura, I stopped.
<div>
<div>
"Um, actually, I—I like..." Although Yura was usually open and bold, saying she liked wild guys, when it came time to confess her own feelings, she became tongue-tied.
<div>
<div>
She wasn''t very popular with guys because of her personality, so she wanted to confess first. But now, she was at a loss for words.
<div>
<div>
I smiled wryly, then pulled her onto my lap and looked into her blushing face before leaning down...
<div>
<div>
....
<div>
<div>
"Mmm, s-so this is what it feels like to kiss Kyoya-kun—It feels so good~" After a long moment, we finally separated, both of us breathless. Yura was clearly enchanted.
<div>
<div>
"Yura, be my girlfriend." I confessed directly.
<div>
<div>
"Okay, Kyoya-kun! Please take care of me from now on." Yura agreed shyly.
<div>
<div>
Just as the two were embracing and lost in their own world, a surprised voice suddenly rang out, breaking the romantic atmosphere.
