545 I know (1/2)

Apart from the ace cards and other one-time use cards, there were some cards he could use immediately as well.

Saki's chocolate awarded him with a [Random draw shard card], which he could exchange for fifteen random draw shards. Mayuzumi's chocolate awarded him with the exact same item, which basically meant that he received an extra thirty random draw shards.

Rion and Kotomi's chocolate rewarded him with two [Item Exchange] cards. Each [Item Exchange] card allowed him to exchange up to ten items he didn't want for an amount of points based on the item's value!

This [Item Exchange] card was something he found really useful right now after obtaining so many items. However, he would only be able to exchange a total of twenty items for points…

'System, can't you be a bit nicer and buy back my useless items like a proper shopkeeper would?'

System: ”Hmph.” (As imagined by Seiji).

Once again, Seiji became internally conflicted. Since he could now refund items that he didn't want, should he use his random draws right now?

He really wanted to try and see if he could obtain seven [Brother Monogatari character reward card] shards…

But, he decided to wait!

Seiji remained resolute in following his earlier decision.

Seiji used all the stat-increasing cards on himself, then turned off his system and began to cultivate.

'It's time to take action.

'Although I feel apologetic towards Mika, I need to take action now if I want to be able to keep having a good time together with Seiji.

'I don't know if this will work or not, but at any rate, I have to try!'

Chiaki thought that to herself as she took out her cell phone and dialed a number.

Natsuya, who was currently sipping on a tea, received a call from a phone number that she wasn't familiar with.

”Good morning. Am I speaking to Student Council President Natsuya Yoruhana?” Natsuya heard a candid female voice when she picked up the call.

Although Natsuya wasn't very familiar with the speaker's voice, she was able to recognize who had called her.

”Is this Chiaki Wakaba-san?”

”Yes. President, you actually recognized my voice?”

”Of course. It's only natural for me to know the ace member of the drama club.”

”I'm so honored.” Chiaki chuckled. ”However, my other identity is probably more important to you, President.”

”What identity are you referring to?”

”Of course, my identity as one of Seiji Haruta's close friends.”

Natsuya didn't know what to say to this.

”President Yoruhana, do you have the free time to meet up for a discussion? I'd like to talk to you about Seiji.” Chiaki's tone was seemingly casual.

”…What time would you like to meet?”

”Today would be best. Of course, tomorrow is fine as well. It's up to when you're free, President.”

”Oh… how direct. I like that.”

”Where should we meet?”

”You can go ahead and decide that, President.”

Natsuya thought about it and told Chiaki the name of a coffee café.

Chiaki said that she would head over immediately.

They ended their conversation there.

The tomboy's mouth arced upwards as she pocketed her cell phone and left to go to the coffee café.

The student council president finished her tea. She stood up as something flashed in her eyes as she also prepared to go to the coffee café.

Not long after, the two of them met in a private room at the coffee café in question.
