Note:
I do use emojis to describe the characters' expressions as I see fit, it may not be to everyone's taste, so if you don't like it, please don't leave mean comments
By the way, this is a slice of life story with a bit of drama, no action or fighting
And this is a translation fanfic, so if you see any translation errors in the story, please leave a dot or something so I can fix it.
And, you should read this story mixed with a bit of the narrator's voice in Kaguya-sama, it would be much better.

Chapter 1 The General Affairs Officer of Shuchiin is a Normal Person
Shuchiin.
Today is the opening ceremony.
"Raise your head and look at the blue sky~"
"At the distant peak of Fuji~"
A male student with sleepy, drowsy eyes was singing along in the auditorium.
(ㅎ.ㅎ)
When will Mount Fuji erupt, I wonder?
I hope it happens in the very next second.
Right now, Sakurai Saki just wanted the world to end.
Because recently he was suffering from severe sleep deprivation.
(* ´ ﹃｀*)
So much so that he almost wanted to quit his student council work.
"In the island nation, the deepest lake is Lake Tazawa, the highest mountain is Mount Fuji~."
And if we're talking about the most sleep-deprived person, he would definitely make it onto the rankings.
Sakurai Saki extremely hated working, but couldn't not work.
Whether it was handing out flyers in front of buildings in Shibuya, or wearing a mascot costume to work part-time at an amusement park, to him it was all daily routine, he had done it plenty of times before.
Recently, there was another task — tutoring a classmate.
Nakano Miku's academic performance in high school was not very ideal, or rather, it was unbelievably bad.
If there were a ranking of idiots in Japan, Miku would definitely take first place!
Miku: (,,¬﹏¬,,)
But well, her father paid too much money, after all.
Sakurai Saki came back to his senses and realized everyone was looking at him.
"Sakurai-kun, please come up to the stage and give a speech!" On the stage, the homeroom teacher of Class 3A, with a face like he hadn't slept for hundreds of years, reminded him.
Sakurai knew that teacher's name.
Oobayashi Hikaru.
Teacher of the honor class, very high-level teaching ability.
It's just that his appearance looked like he was suffering from kidney failure, making people uneasy.
Sakurai stood up, empty-handed, and walked up onto the stage.
The speech had long been memorized in his head, and besides, he didn't really care about situations like this.
Even so, the polite words still had to be said.
Of course, it was just polite words.
Praising youth had nothing to do with Sakurai Saki; to him, high school life was merely a stepping stone to earning more money later.
Sakurai gave a perfect smile, as brilliant as the morning sun, causing the auditorium to instantly fall silent.
"Dear students of Shuchiin, hello, I am the General Affairs Officer of the student council, Sakurai Saki. Today, because President Shirogane is sick, I will be giving the welcoming speech on behalf of the upperclassmen…"
...
Below the stage.
Fujiwara Chika, a girl with shoulder-length light pink hair and an extremely cute face, was counting on her fingers.
"What's wrong, Fujiwara-san?"
( ╹ -╹)?
Beside her, a blonde girl asked curiously.
"I'm counting the number of times Sakurai-kun has been late."
(„• ֊ •„)੭
Hearing that, Hayasaka Ai glanced up at the stage.
The short-haired black-haired boy with a handsome appearance was currently ranked third in the entire second-year cohort.
First place was Shirogane Miyuki, second was Shinomiya Kaguya.
As someone who played games with Sakurai Saki, Hayasaka Ai knew a little more, for example, that he could actually be ranked first, or that he only spent two hours studying each day.
That made Hayasaka Ai feel extremely unbelievable.
There are always people who can both play games with you every day and still study better than you. It makes one wonder if their day has 48 hours.
"The number of times I've been late is 3. The number of times Sakurai-kun has been late is 2, and adding this morning, it's the same as me now!"
Fujiwara Chika counted while thinking about how she should challenge Sakurai Saki later.
(ง ◉ _ ◉)ง
Last year, she got teased by him every day; this year, vengeance will be her!
...
Ten minutes later.
Sakurai Saki stepped down from the stage, bowed to the teachers, and returned to his original seat.
"Dear students, welcome to Shuchiin. I am the principal of Shuchiin, Adolphe Pescarolo…"
Listening to the principal's speech.
Sakurai Saki began to think about how he should use his ability today.
Sakurai Saki was someone with a superpower.
More precisely, a person with a random ability.
Every morning at six o'clock, Sakurai Saki would receive a superpower that he could use for that day.
Currently known abilities include:
Super Strength: Increases strength by ten times, but speed decreases to two-thirds.
( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ
Super Speed: Increases speed by ten times, but strength decreases to two-thirds.
三三ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Invisibility: Can hide the body, but not the clothes.
( ͡º ꒳ ͡º)
Penetration: Can see through bodies and walls, but not through clothes.
(ノ ° 益 °) ノ
Teleportation: Can freely teleport within a large range, but cannot teleport to a place where people are present.
Time Stop: Can freeze everything in the world, but can only maintain it for a maximum of 24 hours.
…
And today, it's Death Note.
Death Note: Can curse and kill anyone in the world, simply by writing the word "Death" along with the person's name on paper and then writing anything else. If there are multiple people with the same name, the death target will be chosen randomly.
Side effect: Being forgotten by everyone for one day, and this time can be accumulated.
Sakurai Saki felt it would be best to seal it away.
Not only because it was too dangerous, but also because in this world, there was no one he hated so much that he would want them to die on the spot.
After the opening ceremony ended, Sakurai Saki next prepared to head to the student council room.
"Good morning, Sakurai-san."
(*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ
Pushing open the door of the student council room, Sakurai Saki lightly nodded in return to Vice President Shinomiya Kaguya, who had just greeted him.
"Good morning, Shinomiya-san."
After saying that, Sakurai Saki walked straight to the President's chair, paying no attention to Kaguya, who was resting while drinking tea on the sofa.
The relationship between the two was not good, at least not good enough to have a casual chat.
If not for the invitation from Shirogane Miyuki, Sakurai Saki fundamentally would never have agreed to join the student council.
He and Shirogane Miyuki were close friends, and at the same time, both were transfer students from other junior high schools, completely different from Shinomiya Kaguya, who had been promoted internally from Shuchiin's junior high division to high school, as if belonging to two different worlds.
Whether it was family background or social connections, it was like heaven and earth.
Today, Shirogane Miyuki's health was not good. Initially, he said he would try to come to school, but Sakurai Saki couldn't bear to see that and had voluntarily taken over his tasks.
The recruitment season for new club members was about to begin, so there were a lot of documents that needed approval.
Band club, ping pong club, bowling club, baseball club...
One by one, Sakurai Saki approved them.
A few minutes later, Sakurai Saki suddenly paused.
[Death Metal Club]
This one could not be written.
Just writing the opponent's name and the word [Death] on paper could kill someone.
Sakurai Saki put the pen down beside him.
He didn't want to come to school tomorrow and see a mass sudden death among the members of the Death Metal Club.
A mysterious murder case in the school, moreover, the causes of death of those members would be extremely bizarre — for example, being strangled to death by the guitar strings while playing with their teeth?
"Shinomiya-san, could you help me review this club recruitment application?" Sakurai Saki spoke up to ask Shinomiya Kaguya.
If there had been anyone else in the student council room besides her.
No matter what, Sakurai Saki would have chosen someone else.
Whether it was Ishigami Yuu, the treasurer who shared common topics with him, or Shirogane Miyuki, who was kind and pleasant, even Fujiwara Chika, who always wanted to challenge him, would have been much better choices.
The Shinomiya Group could sway the entire nation; honestly, Sakurai Saki did not want to get too involved with the ojou-sama of such a family, but now it seemed there was no other choice.
"Sakurai-san, the task entrusted to you by President Shirogane, please complete it yourself."
( ◡̀_◡́)
Shinomiya Kaguya lifted her teacup, took a sip, her face cold; her current state could be called Ice Kaguya.
"I can't make the judgment myself. The Death Metal Club wants to compete for the golden spot in the new member recruitment; I'm not confident." Sakurai Saki made an excuse.
"I thought you could do everything, so there are things you can't do after all." Shinomiya Kaguya gave a faint smile, stood up, and prepared to help.
I really can do everything.
Just one stroke of writing and I could kill your father and your three brothers without any problem!
Please be grateful for my mercy, Shinomiya-san.
Sakurai Saki smiled as he handed the application form to her, "Thank you, Shinomiya-san, you're helping me with a big task!"
