I am that male friend in the harem story

"Meeting with the sister school?" 4x

"Yes." Adolphe nodded as he sipped the tea prepared by Kaguya. "Our sister school from Paris is going to come, and I hope that you all can take care of this meeting." 

"...." 4x

Shirogane, who was the president of the student council, knew that this was a troublesome problem, but he also knew that he couldn't refuse, so he asked, "When is it, Principal?" 

"This Monday." 

"That's so soon!" 

"It can't be helped since they have asked me so suddenly." Adolphe sighed helplessly, but his eyes stared at Shirogane with a plea. "You must be able to do something, right? As the student council of the Shuchi'in Academy, this is also your duty, so I hope that you can prepare a meeting that won't shame us in front of the school sister." 

"...." 

While Ishigami was completely unrelated as a member of the student council and someone who was chosen by Shirogane, even if this task was something given by the principal to the student council president, Shirogane, he knew that he had to help. Regardless of what kind of a decision Shirogane made, he would help Shirogane. 

Still—

"I don't think so." 

Kaguya took charge of this problem and said, "It was the school's problem for accepting this meeting without much preparation, so it isn't right to throw everything at us." 

"That's..." 

If it was Shirogane, Adolphe might be able to say something, wipe his butts clean, then leave all of the problems to Shirogane, but if it was Kaguya? 

How dare he!? 

This school was as good as the control of the Shinomiya group, and while Adolphe might be the principal of this school... no, it was because he was the principal of this school and an adult that he knew that Kaguya wasn't something that he could offend. 

However—

"It's okay, Shinomiya." 

"Kaichou?" 

"Leave this to us, Principal." 

"As expected of you, Shirogane-kun!" Adolphe was surprised and happy, but then, Shirogane's expression was gloomy, and they said, "But next time, I hope that you give us more time for preparation." 

"Ah, um." 

Your face is so scary! 

Yet, with this, Adolphe could leave without worry, or rather, he left directly since Kaguya's eyes were so scary! 

Still, this also made him doubtful and curious. 

Were they dating? 

After all, Kaguya showed such a strong concern toward Shirogane, which made Adolphe wonder about the truth of their relationship, but this guy was already forgotten by the four members of the student council since, at this moment, they had to think to prepare for the meeting with their school sister. 

"I am sorry for accepting this task without asking you all, but I hope that you all can help me." 

Even if Shirogane knew that he was a bit selfish, he knew that in the end, they couldn't escape from this task to prepare for this meeting, and at the same time, while it was a bit childish, he wanted to handle everything like a man. 

"No, it's fine, Kaichou." 

"If you are okay with it, then all we can do is to help." 

"That said, what are we going to do? There are only four days before the meeting." 

Still, as Shirogane had made his decision, Kaguya, Ishigami, and Chika would do their best to support him. After all, the three of them knew well that if Shirogane didn't accept this task, his reputation as a student council president would be damaged and would also affect his future studies. 

Unlike the three who had a background, a family, and a connection that could help them, Shirogane had none of that, and he could only work hard by studying, working step by step to reach his ambition. 

"Well, let's start the preparation, then. We only have four days, after all." 

"That's true." 

So, all of them started brainstorming about the meeting with the sister school. Not only did they need help and volunteers, but they also needed to prepare many items for this meeting, from food, decorations, and other necessary items. 

Nevertheless, with Ishigami as the one who sorted and listed everything, it was easy for them to manage. 

Or rather, compared to others who thought that this was troublesome, he felt that it was easy, especially when all the money would be borne by the school. The volunteers would also help them, and all they would do was just check the stores where they would buy the necessary supplies and items for this meeting and oversee the situation until the meeting with their sister school from Paris ended. 

Only Chika appeared quite gloomy, thinking that she wouldn't be able to go out with Ishigami on the weekend, but she knew that even if her wish was clear, their situation didn't allow them to go out, especially when they were too busy to prepare this meeting during the weekend. 

"It's easier than I thought," Shirogane said in surprise. 

"The meeting is just like that, after all." 

Probably a speech, talking, then finished.

There was no need for something complicated, such as a unique event like a normal event, and as this was a formal meeting, it was natural for it to be boring. Instead, it would be weird for it to be festive, especially when two schools were famous for their aristocratic image, so they should throw away all of those vulgar images and events as they would also be troublesome to prepare, especially with the limited times they had. 

If there was something troublesome, it was to prepare a venue that matched their school's image, but the rest was easy. 

"Then, Kaichou, Shinomiya-senpai, can you two handle the shopping?" 

Ishigami never gave up a chance to become a cupid, and at the same time, this arrangement was good, especially when he could stay with Chika when Shirogane and Kaguya went out. 

Chika's eyes, which dimmed, also quickly sparkled with excitement, thinking that she could use the time when Shirogane and Kaguya went out to spend her time with Ishigami~! 

While Kaguya didn't say anything about this arrangement, Shirogane said, "No, how about you go shopping with Kaguya, Ishigami? I need to manage the area of the school instead of going out." 

"...." 

Yet, this answer stunned Ishigami inwardly, but he didn't show it on his face. 

What was happening?! 

Ishigami inwardly wondered a lot and tried to gauge the expressions between Shirogane and Kaguya, yet unfortunately, he could see nothing. Unexpectedly, their acting and control of facial expressions were so good that he wasn't sure what they were thinking. 

Only—

"Wait!" 

"Hmm?" 3x

The three quickly turned their attention to Chika, who suddenly shouted and said, "How about Yuu and I stay together to prepare for a performance?" 

"... performance?" 3x

While Shirogane was confused, Kaguya was surprised, and Shirogane was speechless. 

"Yes." Chika nodded. "You should know that I am a genius pianist, right?" 

"....." 3x

"...okay?" 

"If I show my performance on piano, then the meeting won't be so boring, right?" 

"That's a good idea, but why is Ishigami mentioned here?" 

"Hehehe..." Chika appeared to be proud. "Kaichou, you might not know, but Yuu is also a good singer and saxophonist. If we have a duet at that meeting, I am sure that our performance will lift the image of our school to our sister school.

"Right, Yuu?" 

"...." 

Yet, watching Chika's eyes, which were clearly those of a woman's, Ishigami knew this was her usual naughty plot.
