"Koyasu-kun, you look very tired. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Alistair arrived at school around ten o'clock. Even after arriving, he just slumped on an empty desk in the student council room, dozing and half-awake, which made others somewhat curious.
"A little. I think I had some kind of nightmare last night. I just feel like I didn't sleep well or get enough rest."
Alistair answered lazily. It might be a lingering effect from last night. Although the 'Mystery' in his body had been partially replenished by absorbing the new strange item, many side effects remained. The distortion of his 'Ability Scores' was just one of them; this was likely the second.
Of course, all of this was Alistair's speculation. He now realized how important a good cheat ability was. His was too random and merely a tool, one without even an instruction manual.
Although its effect was somewhat heaven-defying, it was difficult to become stronger without good luck. This was one of the sources of Alistair's previous idea to 'evolve' autonomously through the ring. However, now that someone was clearly 'farming' him, the urgency was far greater than before.
Forget it. I shouldn't be targeted again in the short term. I'll wait for this debilitating 'buff' to pass.
Alistair turned his head and slumped down in another direction.
"Koyasu-kun, you don't have any important plans this afternoon, do you?"
Anna Komiya's voice rang out, though her tone was not her usual gentle and relaxed one, but carried a hint of seriousness.
"No. Just club observations after school, but those clubs are probably just putting on a show now. I likely won't observe anything meaningful."
Alistair lifted his head, his eyes heavy with sleep, looking like he might fall back down at any moment.
"That's good. This afternoon, the Vice President of St. Lux Academy will be visiting us as a representative to discuss the exchange student program. Also, they want to know more about you, the only male exchange student."
Anna Komiya nodded, informing Alistair of the upcoming plans and giving him instructions for later.
"Oh~ The Vice President is leading the delegation? What's her name?"
Alistair closed his eyes and casually agreed. Coming from a girls' school, she would probably put on airs, but Alistair wasn't in the mood to confront anyone right now. He just planned to respond with 'Mhm,' 'Oh, I see,' and 'Yeah, you're absolutely right.' A noble lady, and based on the setting of this ecchi world, she's likely a tsundere or a Queen-type. Both types of girls are difficult to deal with. He hoped she wouldn't deliberately make things hard for him.
"Let me check. Her name is Nina Tsubakihara. I hear she comes from a commoner family, is cheerful and outgoing, excellent at sports, academically outstanding, and gentle and polite to everyone. She's practically like a female protagonist in some novel."
Sayuri Takamine was the primary person in charge of this, so she had clearer information about the upcoming Vice President. However, the information on this Vice President was a bit too impressive for them.
"Wow, she is incredibly accomplished."
Anna Komiya listened to the assessment and covered her mouth in surprise. This Vice President was even more impressive than herself. Anna's athletic ability wasn't considered outstanding, just decent. It only gradually improved after she mysteriously got better following several encounters with Alistair.
The others were, needless to say, not as well-rounded. Among this group, only Anna Komiya was relatively 'all-around.' The others had significant flaws. For example, Sayuri Takamine and Yūka Tachibana weren't very popular. They were rather distant with others, so aside from being popular with boys, they rarely socialized. Otherwise, they were excellent in all other aspects, or they wouldn't be key members of the student council.
As for Shizuku Hatsufuji, she was likely there only through connections. Her grades were average, her sports just barely passing, and she was somewhat airheaded (natural-born idiot). Fortunately, her family was powerful, or she would likely be bullied relentlessly. Aside from her voluptuous, sexy breasts, her visibly springy, plump buttocks, and her pretty face, she had no prominent merits.
Anna Komiya, as mentioned, was excellent in all aspects.
As for the President, Alistair didn't care. He only paid attention to attractive girls. That old man wasn't worth his concern, merely a cuckolded simp; there was absolutely no need to mind him.
Finally, there was Alistair himself. Alistair knew his own capabilities; he was ultimately there through 'connections.' If there was anything outstanding about him, it was probably his 'performance' capabilities?
Wait, what did Sayuri Takamine say that Vice President's name was again? Nina Tsubakihara? That sounds like the one on my phone.
Speaking of which, Alistair should have known this Nina Tsubakihara before. That's why he had her on his LINE contacts, but he had no memory of her and was certain he didn't know her before coming here. That meant his relationship with her was in the section of memory deleted by the Succubus. Since the girl didn't recognize him either, she must have had her memory deleted too, but being an ordinary person, she didn't notice anything wrong.
She's from St. Lux Academy, which is quite far from here, so he couldn't have met her on his way home. His memory break started after he got home. In that case, he could only have met her near his home. The document about the cat suggests he was carrying a cat at the time, perhaps one he picked up somewhere.
No, the cat might have been a medium the Succubus used for detection and localization. Alistair and Nina Tsubakihara might have met that afternoon. But he usually didn't run around aimlessly, so there was only one possibility: Nina Tsubakihara might live downstairs from him, which is how they met. The catalyst for meeting might have been that cat.
While Alistair was pondering Nina Tsubakihara's situation, the others had already gathered around Sayuri Takamine to look at the Vice President's specific information. Frankly, the President and Anna Komiya had only casually glanced at it earlier because they were busy, not realizing how impressive she was.
"And she's so beautiful! Her figure is amazing! Compared to Vice President Komiya, she seems slightly superior."
Shizuku Hatsufuji looked at the photo in the file, marveling at the girl's excellence. Although Anna Komiya also felt slightly inferior, hearing it put that way made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Alright, alright. Now that we have a basic understanding, let's do some simple setup to welcome them."
Anna Komiya waved her hand, signaling everyone to begin basic preparations.
