Chapter 91 - Shikamaru Gets In Trouble, Shun Digs a Hole (2/2)

Shun: ”We are here.”

Shikamaru stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A voice came from inside the room.

???: ”Who is it?”

Shikamaru: ”Nara Shikamaru.”

The voice inside the room replied.

???: ”Ah, come in.”

Shikamaru and Shun stepped inside the room.

Shun looked at the esteemed student council president.

Karura Temari, second-year, was the student council president who had won the elections in a landslide.

[A/N: Temari is from the Naruto series, but she didn't have a surname before her marriage to Shikamaru, so I am using her mother's name as her surname.]

President Temari was a prudent, stoic, and blunt individual who was rarely afraid to speak her mind. She has excellent grades and was originally part of the Aikido club.

Temari looked towards the door, she was expecting Shikamaru to come alone, so when she saw another person, she was surprised.

She looked at the other person and recognized the other person.

Temari: ”Kageyama Shun, what brings you here today?”

Shun was famous all around the school, so it wasn't unusual for the president to know Shun's name.

Shun smiled and replied.

Shun: ”Good evening president, I am just accompanying Shikamaru here, he said that the student council is short on hands, so I decided to come and help out here.”

Shun was laying it thick, he had just pushed all the credit to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru, who had his hands behind his back, showed a thumbs-up.

Temari looked at Shikamaru with a peculiar look and then turned back to Shun.

Temari: ”Is that so. Well, extra help is always welcomed, but are you sure that you want to be here, isn't their preliminaries scheduled for tomorrow, don't you have preparations to do.”

Temari was good at Aikido and was a member of the Aikido Club, and as the president, she knew about the happenings in the school, so she knew about tournaments and what the day before a match represented.

Shun nodded and waved his hand.

Shun: ”It's fine, we have an off day today, and I would rather focus my mind somewhere else, rather than just thinking about the games tomorrow, and do nothing productive.”

Temari smiled and said.

Temari: ”I see, let's get to work, shall we.”

They got to work, Shun decided to make some small talk.

Shun: ”So, president, what are the plans for the school fest, and sports day?”

Temari replied while doing her work.

Temari: ”The student council is thinking of promoting the school fest on social media and expand our range, we are also thinking of inviting sponsors to amass funds.

We haven't started to think about the sports day, we still have time for that, we want the weather to cool down before we start to organize the event.

We are short on people, so the progress is a little slow.”

A bright light bulb appeared above Shun's head, and a devious smirk appeared on his face.

He looked at Shikamaru, and his grin grew.

He turned to Temari and began his plan.

Shun: ”Short on people, huh. I might know someone who will be able to help.”

Shikamaru, who heard this felt something was wrong. He looked at Shun and found a smirk on his face just before it disappeared from his face.

Shikamaru sat up straight and stared intensely at Shun.

Shikamaru: 'Oye whatever you are thinking, don't do it. Kageyama!'

Shun felt Shikamaru's gaze, but he ignored it.

Temari looked up from her work and asked hopefully.

Temari: ”Really, who?”

Shun smiled and pointed.

Shun: ”I am talking about Shikamaru Nara, of course.”

Temari looked at Shikamaru and asked.

Temari: ”Shikamaru-kun?”

Shun nodded and continued.

Shun: ”Shikamaru is smart, and I am confident that he would be able to help in organizing an event like that.”

Shikamaru tried to interject.

Shikamaru: ”Wai-”

But, Shun didn't give him a chance.

Shun: ”Shikamaru will definitely be able to make plans, organize meetings, dish out some good ideas. If you give him a chance, he will show that he isn't all that bad.”

Shikamaru once again tried to interject.

Shikamaru: ”Hey, what-.”

Shun kept talking, voicing over Shikamaru.

Shun: ”Just before we came here, he invited me so that we could help out, he even tried to recruit many others, but they were busy.”

Temari thought about it and concluded that it was a good thing.

Temari: ”Hmm... Okay, I will make Shikamaru-kun a part of the planning committee for the school fest.”

Shikamaru tried to object.

Shikamaru: ”Listen to me-.”

Shun once again sabotaged his friend.

Shun: ”Good, this way, Shikamaru will be able to resolve all the issues and problems that he made before.”

Temari nodded and turned to Shikamaru.

Temari: ”Shikamaru-kun, it is decided. Using my decree as the student council president, I am making you a temporary member of the student council, you will help out in the organization of the school fest.”

Shikamaru opened and closed his mouth and decided that saying anything now will be useless.

He looked at Shun with a loathsome look.

Shun smiled at his friend and said.

Shun: ”Isn't this good, Shikamaru. You will be able to help out.”

Shikamaru opened his mouth with difficulty.

Shikamaru: ”Yes, it is good.”

At the same time, he thought.

Shikamaru: 'I will take my revenge.'

This was the first meeting of many in which Shun had stuck Shikamaru with Temari, and in the future, they would remember this meeting as the meeting that began things between Shikamaru and Temari.
