"As the name suggests, the assistant chair will be responsible for meeting arrangements, data collection, progress control, etc. For helping me lead the team to—"
"No need, right?" Before the explanation was finished, Nino shot back, "Don't say this isn't a big corporation, it's just a small forest school executive committee. All we have to do in setting up the group, why did you assign a secretary to you? There should be a more important position, right?"
"Could it be…" Her tone gradually became suspicious, and her eyes became wary, "You only want one of us to be your secretary, so that if you have anything to do..."
"Let the secretary run the errands?"
Shinichi responded in an even tone.
"There is no such thing. You can use this position as co-chair, but most books indicate that it is best to have a deputy who can assist the leader in a complete group. Not only lightens the leader's burden, so that he doesn't have to toil over trivial matters, but also divides and interprets the leader's decisions and orders, and then submits them to each cadre for execution. The important thing is to let the team have a buffer to the point of execution, there is a saying in social psychology..."
Blah blah blah.
"😐"
The five people looked at him blankly, because when Shinichi said these words, it was like he was chanting a sutra.
Even though it looked really great, but they couldn't understand what he was talking about!
"Stop, stop, stop!" Nino wanted to punch someone so bad right now but since her head was a little swollen from the thought she had to rub her temples to numb the pain.
"We can't understand you after explaining so much. Now let's just trust that you think for the sake of the team... Then, who will you choose as this assistant? Or should we choose it with rock paper scissors?"
Shinichi smiled a little, and finally fooled his selfishness who wanted to feel the feelings of a big boss with a small secretary, then slowed down his tone and explained carefully.
"All positions are important and meaningful, so of course you can't play around like this. Whether you are an administrative assistant or a living assistant, you just need to be careful and patient..."
While Shinichi spoke, Miku nodded, and her eyes lit up slightly.
Ichika glanced at her and secretly shouted in her heart — We're coming!
Now is the best time to give Miku a wave of help!
As long as Miku is an assistant, and after a long and close relationship with Shinichi, she will push him away sooner or later, Miku has to face her feelings, and then take the initiative to confess to Shinichi. After all, Shinichi seems to be the type who concentrates on studying but isn't interested in love, if Miku doesn't take the initiative, no matter how ambiguous they are, the relationship won't progress.
Ichika made a plan in her heart, and was about to speak, when she pushed Miku to the assistant position with a few sweet words, she heard Shinichi finish the rest of his sentence in one breath.
"You have to be polite, sincere, responsible, responsive... Maybe those qualities."
Ichika quietly covered her mouth with a stiff smile.
(Ahh, this isn't helping anymore... Miku, I'm sorry, I really couldn't keep my eyes open and was talking nonsense in front of everyone!)
Miku's eyes darkened greatly, and she slowly drooped her shoulders.
After all, the traits Shinichi mentioned, except for being careful, patient, serious and sincere, actually didn't suit her... She still had self-knowledge, even if she really wanted to be an assistant in her heart.
But she wasn't sure she could do a good job as an assistant. If her incompetence causes the team to go wrong, she will be very sorry for Shinichi and her sister.
Even though she was a little disappointed, but this business was important, Miku could only sit quietly in her chair, watching Shinichi turn his eyes towards them, and finally stopped at a position near the window.
"After objective and valid considerations, actually I already have a candidate in my heart..."
Looking at the bright red clouds in the sky, Itsuki frowned in thought.
It tastes like fried buns, and looks like donuts in the wind... Which is better to eat?
" Itsuki?"
"Eh?" Called back from her daze, Itsuki turned around to find that everyone was staring at her. She stood up swiftly, raising her blushing face, "Yes! What is it?"
"Were you… In a daze during the meeting?" Shinichi narrowed his eyes, Itsuki quickly waved her hand in anticipation.
"No! Are you talking about the assistant? I was listening…"
Shinichi was silent for a while, then suddenly looked out the window, and said casually: "That cloud really looks like a quill..."
Itsuki seriously replied, "I've only been looking at it for a long time, it's definitely more like a donut… Uh..."
Under Shinichi's smiling gaze, Itsuki's entire face turned red, she lowered her head in shame, and sincerely apologized.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have been distracted."
"…It's fine, it's not good to be too serious, but I don't like saying one sentence twice, so please concentrate." With a sigh, Shinichi shook his head and said to her again.
"Itsuki, could you be the assistant, namely the vice chairman?"
"That's not a problem… It's just that I don't know exactly what to do…" Itsuki was worried, after all this was something she had never done before.
"I will tell you what to do later. Itsuki should be fine. Rest assured." Shinichi smiled kindly at her with confidence.
When she slowly sat back in her chair, Itsuki looked at Shinichi.
She couldn't understand why he had so much faith in her, and even appointed herself as an assistant… Was it just because she was in the same class as him?
It always feels so relaxing... Doesn't seem like it's because of that...
Shinichi ignored its slight confusion, but spoke to the other four people.
"Then next, there are positions like medical safety, public relations, homework, and finance..."
After a long discussion, finally the cadre was appointed.
Long-sleeved, good at dancing, and wildly popular, Nino has become a publicist without hesitation, and will be responsible for contacting various associations, teachers and students, as well as forest school organizers in the future.
Yotsuba takes over tasks that require running around and sometimes moving things around. She didn't complain at all, instead she happily stated that all the physical work could be left to her.
Between financial and medical security, Miku chose medical security. This is an inconspicuous but very important position. This is necessary to ensure that the entire activity process can ensure the safety and care of students.
Even though she wasn't particularly interested, Miku knew that this might be the job she was best suited for.
In the end, the rest of the finances fell on Ichika's head, which made her smile wryly.
"Isn't this a very important position? Even though my math is the best in all subjects, it's still just as bad… Is it alright to leave it to me?"
"Don't worry, as long as you can set the table and add and subtract numbers, it will be fine. Tomorrow I will go to the student association and ask Accountant Ishigami to teach you how to do it."
Shinichi looked around them, speaking calmly.
"It's not just Ichika, we're all the same... The next thing to do is probably an area we've never touched before in our lives."
"We may not be used to it, or we may make mistakes, we are like newcomers who have just entered the workplace, encountering an unfamiliar environment, we will definitely be hit, and we will definitely encounter difficulties, and we will definitely not succeed in running the forest school! "
"What are you trying to do to boost morale!
Seeing the slightly worried expressions of others, Nino thought of something to say angrily.
"But!"
Shinichi put his hands on the podium, and looked at the five of them seriously.
"Fortunately, we have enough time to prepare. One month is enough to do many things, including going from unskilled to proficient, from unknown to known... Our ultimate goal is forest school success, so it doesn't matter how many failures you encounter, please don't give up! No matter how many failures you encounter, please don't run!"
"I won't say too many words of encouragement, but as committee chairman, I have one last word, please listen carefully."
Shinichi coughed twice, and suddenly asked Nino in a friendly manner.
"Your grades aren't that great, are they?"
Nino didn't react to this change, so she nodded reflexively.
"That's right..."
"That means you are all idiots, right?"
Nino stopped talking, this familiar sign giving her a premonition to be angry again.
Shinichi looked at the five girls who looked similar, looked into their questioning eyes, with a warm and fiery voice, and said loudly.
"That's right, I'm sure a fool can succeed! Even if grades aren't great, but the ability to act is something that has nothing to do with grades, please believe in yourself! There's nothing a fool can't do, a fool is the strongest in the world!"
"Let's work together to restore the world's stupid impression!"
"😐"
The voice fell, leaving only an awkward silence.
Ichika was silent.
Nino clenched her fists and trembled and almost exploded.
Miku puffed out her cheeks, a little sad and angry.
Yotsuba looked around, not knowing what expression to make.
Tears welling up in Itsuki's eyes, she bit her lower lip, a very reluctant expression on her face.
Shinichi on the other hand, was contemplating whether to rush out the door directly, lest the five people get so angry they would crush him to the ground and beat him up, sighing inwardly.
(Recently, the aggressive method is a bit addictive, I hope it doesn't cause any ill effects...)
The first day of the official formation of the forest school executive committee ended in this embarrassing atmosphere.
And for these six, tomorrow may be a new beginning
