Chapter 205 - [205] I Will Get Shy!

"Oh! You finally arrived! You really kept me waiting, Eiji!" 

Nero quickly rose from the desk, her face beaming with a passionate and cheerful smile as she eagerly approached. 

"There's only two people here?" 

Eiji looked around the student council room. 

As the main activity space for the student council, the room was naturally quite spacious, over 200 square meters. Besides the office desk, it was furnished with red carpets, chandeliers, bookshelves, and other furniture, exuding an air of luxury and grandeur. 

Behind Nero's desk was a massive floor-to-ceiling window, through which a nursery and a fountain outside the building could be seen, making the place resemble a castle. 

"One more person is in class." 

Nero walked up and swayed left and right in front of Eiji, her emerald green eyes scanning him up and down, her delicate face showing a deeply satisfied expression. 

"As expected, so wonderful! Such beauty is something that should belong to me!" 

Theoretically speaking, being an emperor doesn't necessarily mean one can have everything. 

Eiji shifted his gaze away from Nero and looked at the other person in the room. 

She had dark brown skin, a tail and ears resembling those of an unknown animal, and a figure that rivaled Nero and Mata Hari's. Her shirt buttons were casually undone, revealing a similar scar on her chest. 

At the moment, she was sitting on the sofa with a stack of documents and several calculators in front of her, immersed in work with such intensity that she seemed completely unaware of Eiji's arrival. 

"Her name is Sheba, a senior, and the treasurer of the student council." 

Nero, satisfied after absorbing some "Eiji energy," finally pulled away and took the initiative to introduce her. 

"There is also my vice president, but she's a good student, so she only comes after school." 

President Nero, Treasurer Sheba, and an unknown vice president. 

"So the student council only has three members?" 

Eiji found it rather incredible. "Then why did you take over such a huge building?" 

"Mata Hari counts as half a person, and you also count as one, so technically, we are four and a half members. This school doesn't have that many students, so we don't need too many members in the student council!" 

"Actually, it's because President Nero took office not long ago, and the previous members all stepped down. The president is also very selective, and very few people meet her standards." 

Sheba, still focused on her calculations, playfully exposed the truth while working. 

"That kind of detail is unnecessary!" 

Nero cleared her throat, brushing past the minor embarrassment. 

"Where was I… Oh, right! About this building—actually, it's not the school's building, but one I had my family construct for me!" 

Huh??? 

"It's hard to understand with just words, so let me give you a tour!" 

Saying that, Nero grabbed Eiji's arm and led him out of the office, giving him a tour of the entire building. 

"Aside from my office, the second floor has a conference room and several bedrooms, but the real highlight is the first floor! It's filled with entertainment rooms—sports, music, swimming pools… everything is here! We even have a hot spring room!" 

Stopping at the entrance of a room filled with warm steam, Nero pointed inside with a proud smile. 

This room, located in the deepest part of the first floor, was Nero's prized hot spring room, equipped with a sauna. A soak here after work or exercise could wash away all exhaustion. 

"...Having money really lets you do whatever you want!" 

Eiji sighed enviously. 

"Exactly! Money is power!" 

Nero nodded in agreement. 

There were rumors at school that Nero's lifestyle was extremely extravagant. 

After seeing the student council building, Eiji finally understood just how excessive her luxury truly was. 

More importantly… 

Including the vice president who had yet to arrive, the student council seemed to consist only of female members, with Eiji being the only male! 

And there was only one hot spring room! 

His gaze instantly turned profound. 

It felt like an "accidental intrusion" was bound to happen! 

"I like this student council!" 

Realizing this crucial detail, Eiji instantly sang praises. 

"Hahaha! I'm so glad you like it! This is my proudest achievement, after all—I personally designed this entire building!" 

"You designed it?" 

"Of course! I'm a genius! Architecture, sculpture, singing, dancing… I can do it all!" 

Nero proudly listed her many talents. 

Come to think of it, that was part of her lore. 

What was that skill called… something Emperor? 

No, it was "Imperial Privilege," an ability that allowed Nero to temporarily acquire various skills—even ones she didn't naturally possess. A truly overpowered talent. 

Eiji was envious of such limitless capabilities! 

"What will my position be?" 

After finishing their tour of the building, Eiji asked Nero on their way back to the office. 

"There are still many positions left, like disciplinary committee member, secretary, and assistant treasurer. What do you want to do?" 

"Which one is the easiest?" 

"Heh, I knew you'd ask that! Without a doubt, it's the secretary!" 

"Then I'll be the secretary." 

In the student council, slacker positions were rare—especially with only a handful of members, each with their own workload. 

Nero was already scheming. 

The student council secretary was mainly responsible for recording activities—mostly paperwork, requiring little effort. 

But more importantly, it was the position closest to the president, meaning Eiji would have to accompany her everywhere on campus. 

In simple terms, it was a personal assistant role! 

Truly worthy of a scion of Japan's top financial conglomerate—Nero had already mastered workplace politics at such a young age! 

"Oh, right, take this!" 

Suddenly remembering something, Nero sneakily pulled Eiji into a corner. 

At first, he thought she was about to do something bold, and he was contemplating whether he should put up some token resistance. 

But to his surprise, Nero pulled out a credit card from her pocket. 

"Even though I know you're not someone who cares about money, I still need to express myself properly. This is my sincere gesture!" 

Whoa, a black credit card! 

"Since it's your sincere gesture, it would be rude not to accept it! You truly are an honest person!" 

Eiji reluctantly accepted the black card while simultaneously showering Nero with praise. 

"Haha, don't compliment me so directly—I'll get shy!" 

Nero covered her slightly reddened face, twisting her body bashfully, unable to suppress the joy on her face. 

Such an easygoing rich woman! 

After completing their tour, the two returned to the student council room. Nero didn't even bother knocking and boldly pushed the doors open. 

The moment they stepped inside, a long-haired girl, arms crossed and looking somewhat impatient, came into view. 

"Oh, Vice President Aozaki, you're here?" 

Nero immediately wiped the playful grin off her face and returned to her serious student council president demeanor.
