Every day, living with the President, the silent days were truly fulfilling, even though it was just cooking and serving tea for the President. However, having such a beautiful two-dimensional girl in front of him every day, it was impossible for him not to be happy.
Although the President initially only intended to give Silent a butler's title, after all, she herself did not need a butler, and she had never thought about managing a household. If it weren't for Silent's own request, she might have even spared him the butler's identity. The President merely wanted to help the 'homeless' Silent.
However, over the past few days, with Silent's service, Chrysanthemum gradually became dependent on him. The reason was that over these few days, Silent had won over Chrysanthemum's stomach. Of course, he had only conquered her stomach...
With the 'Culinary Mastery' ability, Silent's cooking skills were at a world-class level. Whether it was brewing tea, cooking, or making pastries, Silent was proficient in all. In just a few days, he had managed to win over Chrysanthemum's stomach, which was indifferent to simple meals, and even made her more picky.
With the mindset that to capture someone's heart, one must first capture their stomach, Silent changed the menu every day, preparing various flavors of dishes and desserts for Chrysanthemum. Not only did he successfully win over the President's stomach, but he also made Chrysanthemum a bit heavier.
Having won over the stomach, how far could the person be?...
Silent fantasized about this every day...
Thus, the three days passed in the interactions between Silent and Chrysanthemum, which were sometimes warm and sometimes playful. On this day, Chrysanthemum brought Silent some good news.
With a smile, she handed a document to Silent and said, "Congratulations, Silent. From tomorrow, you will be a student at White Royal Academy."
Finally, it's here!
"Beep! Mission 1 completed! Gained 1000 points each in Equipment, Item, Ability, and Summoning!"
"Beep! Mission 2 activated!"

As Silent took the document, a series of notifications sounded in his mind. On the surface, he tried to look surprised, but his consciousness was immersed in the content of the notifications.
Ghost leader? What is that? Is there such a thing in the old school building of White Royal Academy?
Why wasn't it mentioned in the original story? With so many people at White Royal Academy, didn't anyone notice a ghost in the old school building?
Suddenly, Silent remembered a scene from the original story. One night, Aizawa Satsuki entered the old school building to retrieve something for Nagi Sanzenin and was chased by a ghost along with Chrysanthemum, who came to investigate the noise.
However, this so-called ghost was actually a spirit controlled by the genius exorcist, Itsuki Katsuragi, to scare away Satsuki and Chrysanthemum. Although she was eventually exposed by Satsuki due to her natural tendencies, Satsuki did not reveal her and instead ran away with Chrysanthemum.
Itsuki Katsuragi's intention was to prevent Satsuki and Chrysanthemum from being harmed by the exorcism ritual that was about to begin.
Could it be that the spirit Itsuki Katsuragi exorcised in the old school building is this so-called ghost leader?...
Sigh, why isn't it a romantic mission? All the other protagonists have such missions...
"What's wrong? Silent, aren't you happy?" Silent's inner thoughts were unknown to others, but in Chrysanthemum's eyes, Silent first smiled happily after receiving the document and then spaced out.
Could it be because he's too happy? So he's acting erratically?
Silent snapped back to reality and quickly smiled, "No, I'm very happy, I was just thinking about something."
"What were you thinking about so deeply?" Chrysanthemum asked curiously.
"Um..." Silent pretended to think for a moment and then smiled, "I was thinking, to prevent you from getting fat, should I reduce your food portions?"
"No way!" Chrysanthemum reflexively shouted, then saw Silent smiling at her and blushed, angrily saying, "I'm the type who doesn't get fat, so you don't need to worry. And didn't we agree that you shouldn't call me 'President'? Seriously, when we were in the student council, we agreed to call me Chrysanthemum..."
Opening the document, Silent took out a card, which was the student ID for White Royal Academy. He weighed the ID in his hand and smiled, "Alright, then I'll call you..."
"Chrysanthemum President!" Seeing Chrysanthemum start to smile in satisfaction, Silent laughed mischievously and shouted, then ran away.
Chrysanthemum was taken aback, then got angry, raised her bag, and chased after Silent. "Stop right there!"
Chrysanthemum's mother sat on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and listening to the commotion that occurred a few times a day. She sighed and said, "Being young is really great..."
...
The next day, Silent and Chrysanthemum went to White Royal Academy together and, using some unknown means, managed to get into the same class.
"This is our new student council member, Silent!"
In the White Royal Academy student council office, there were one man and six women. To outsiders, the man surrounded by the girls was undoubtedly the ultimate life winner, but they didn't know that if he could, the man would have jumped off the balcony to escape.
Chrysanthemum stood to the side, introducing Silent to the five girls standing opposite him. Silent's face was smiling, but his mind was already in a state of shock.
After Chrysanthemum introduced Silent, a girl with long purple hair and a notebook in her hands smiled and said, "I'm the vice president, Aika Kurokami. Nice to meet you."
A girl with silver-gray hair tied in a ponytail, wearing glasses, and looking very beautiful, looked at Silent seriously. Just as Silent was about to feel his scalp tingle, she nodded and said, "Chunfeng Qianying!"
"Wow! A new face! To be introduced by Chrysanthemum, you must be very capable!" This was a girl with violet hair and two small pigtails, who looked very lively and cheerful. She was looking at Silent happily and curiously, as if she had found something interesting.
"I'm Sawayaka Izumi, please take care of me!"
"Hanamichi Miki!" This was a girl with long blue hair and deadpan eyes.
"Risa Asakaze!" This was a girl with shoulder-length brown hair, who was giving Silent a thumbs up.
Looking at these various girls who were full of material for ridicule, Silent felt tears welling up in his heart.
As soon as class ended, Silent was dragged to the student council by Chrysanthemum and signed a 'contract of servitude,' becoming a proud member of the student council.
Originally, with the goal of being able to spend more time with the President and deepen their relationship, Silent nodded without hesitation. However, he soon regretted it.
Because immediately after, Chrysanthemum brought in these five deities, saying they needed to introduce themselves and get to know each other.
If he had a choice, Silent would have slapped himself and refused to come.
These were five problem girls!...
Aika Kurokami, although she looked gentle and like a traditional Japanese woman, anyone who has seen "The Stormy Butler" knows she is a manipulative girl. The notebook she holds is called the Weakness Notebook, used to record others' weaknesses. Interacting with her, one might be caught in a trap at any moment, and die without knowing how.
Next to Aika, the calm and unflappable girl with glasses, Chunfeng Qianying, actually has severe 'autism.' Why the quotation marks? Because despite her calm demeanor, she has a perfect maid soul. To hide her true personality, she suppresses herself a lot. Interacting with her, one might end up with a split personality.
If it were just these two, it would be manageable. As long as Silent was careful with Aika and honest with Chunfeng, his knowledge of two-dimensional girls would help him cope.
What truly scared him were the other three...
Sawayaka Izumi, Hanamichi Miki, and Risa Asakaze, one lively and cheerful, one half-dead, and one overly energetic, were known as the 'White Royal Academy Idiot Trio.' Individually, they might not be a problem, but when they were together, trouble always followed.
In the original story, Aizawa Satsuki, who was part of the 'unlucky duo' with Index from "A Certain Magical Index," often took the blame for their misdeeds, allowing them to live comfortably. Silent did not want to become the tragic one taking the blame for them!...
Adding to that, the President, who was perfect but occasionally had outbursts, this student council might only be survivable for someone as resilient as Aizawa Satsuki...
Ah, if I had another chance, I would...
"Silent, what are you spacing out for? Greet them!" A beautiful hand slapped Silent's shoulder, pulling him out of his tragic thoughts. Looking at Chrysanthemum, who was glaring at him, Silent felt like crying.
With a fake smile, Silent said, "Hello, I'm Silent, a Chinese person. I just started at White Royal Academy today and am Chrysanthemum's butler. Please take care of me!"
"Chrysanthemum's butler?" The five girls looked at Silent and Chrysanthemum in surprise, clearly disbelieving.
In their minds, Chrysanthemum was nearly perfect, with excellent grades, abilities, sports, and housework, and a beautiful appearance. She didn't seem like someone who needed a butler.
Perhaps Chrysanthemum would be a suitable butler...
Now, suddenly, a man claims to be Chrysanthemum's butler. Not just anyone, but Chrysanthemum. How could that be possible...
After the initial shock, the idiots smiled and surrounded Silent, their faces clearly saying 'gossip.'
"Hey, Silent, how did you become Chrysanthemum's butler? It doesn't make sense. Is there some secret? Tell us."
"As fellow members of the organization, we will be comrades in life and death. Don't try to hide anything from us!"
"Did you fight with Chrysanthemum, and she defeated you, making you her 'loyal supporter'?"
"Tell us!"
Silent was completely overwhelmed...
