Well, it specifically says who would be walking around and why. Maybe "Only student council members would be assigned the task of guiding new students" would fit better, but it's clear that someone who had been student council president would know that a student guide would be a member of the student council, so she *should have* been able to conclude. | |||

"she should not have been able to conclude that he was an officer of the Student Council"[edit]
This part seems contradictory:
“Saying… it’s been a while would be strange. Are you the new student guide?”
“Ah, yes.”
“So as planned, you joined the Student Council.”
The student assigned the task of guiding new students wouldn’t be anyone other than a member of the student council. The Public Morals Committee members were also patrolling in order to police the grounds, and temporary officials were also making the rounds. Thus, she should not have been able to conclude that he was an officer of the Student Council just from his answer, but Tatsuya did not say anything to refute the happily giggling Mayumi at all. He had, in fact, joined the Student Council, and another matter had caught his attention.
