Chapter 117: Tomoe Gozen
"Disrupting discipline?"
Jeanne White blinked her blue eyes innocently.
"That's right."
Tomoe Gozen nodded.
"The Shadow Disciplinary Committee, led by Lady Raikou, believes that within your club exist improper relationships between male and female members, and even the teachers may be deeply involved. Such behavior has an extremely negative influence on students and seriously disrupts the school's order!"
"In my eyes, 'a group of women forming a club just to fight over one man's affection' is truly absurd..."
Fighting over affection, what the hell—does this club really look like that in other people's eyes?
Jeanne Alter silently grumbled in irritation.
"Hey, Queen,"
She turned her head to look at Marie Alter beside her,
"You're the Student Council President, right? So why are you letting the Disciplinary Committee come and pick a fight with us like this? Can't you use some of your authority to drive them off?"
"The Shadow Disciplinary Committee is a special organization directly under the principal's supervision. It's not in a subordinate relationship with the Student Council. If they deliberately want to cause us trouble, not even the Student Council President—or the teachers—could necessarily stop them."
Marie explained.
"Tch, how annoying..."
Wait, doesn't that mean...
Jeanne Alter suddenly realized something, her golden eyes lighting up with excitement.
Finally… finally, someone has appeared who can disband this perverted, rule-breaking club!
She was moved to tears. She thought that ever since Zenobia's downfall, there would be no one left in this school upright enough to oppose them.
The members of this club included the Student Council President and the elite of both Britain and France, and even had the signatures of several teachers approving it. No matter how you looked at it, the establishment of this "slutty club" was already a done deal.
But if the entire Shadow Disciplinary Committee opposed it, things would be completely different!
Jeanne Alter had never imagined the day would come when she'd stand on the same side as those who maintained school discipline...
But she didn't care who it was—please, someone, just disband this club already! There really are extremely indecent relationships between men and women here, your accusations are absolutely correct!
"Although I don't fully understand the situation..."
Jeanne Alter suddenly said loudly,
"But we're willing to cooperate with your investigation in every way! Whatever charges you want to make, just go ahead!"
She thought to herself that everyone here—and even the official members listed in this club—were guilty from head to toe.
Tomoe Gozen, you don't even need to investigate any further! The evidence you already have is more than enough to shut this club down!
"That's right, that's right,"
Jeanne White chimed in cheerfully, her slender fingers clasped together in front of her chest,
"Welcome to the Disciplinary Committee. Please feel free to oversee our club's activities. We'll fully cooperate with any investigations—just tell us whatever you need."
Hey, you're way too eager! Or do you also want this ridiculous farce to end soon? Jeanne Alter thought inwardly.
Seeing how cooperative they were, Tomoe Gozen looked slightly surprised.
"Umu... As expected of the Saint of France, your honesty and straightforwardness are truly admirable,"
Tomoe Gozen smiled warmly,
"Then let's not waste any time. If you don't mind, please gather all members and managers of this club here. I need to ask you a few questions..."
"Wait a moment,"
Jeanne White suddenly said softly.
Her voice was gentle and polite, carrying a natural air of leadership. Even though she interrupted someone, it didn't feel disrespectful at all.
"What is it?" — Tomoe Gozen asked, looking puzzled.
"If you want to investigate whether this club has done anything against school rules, then I suggest you start with the central figure of the club — my younger brother, Mochizuki Eikou."
Jeanne White said with a sweet smile.
Jeanne Alter: "???"
What the hell is this lunatic doing?! Don't drag him into something this humiliating—he doesn't even know what's going on! I'd rather have my parents called in than let him find out I'm part of this weird club; that would be mortifying!
Besides, that guy isn't even your brother—don't go around saying random crap in the middle of chaos like this!
No, no, that's not right...
Jeanne Alter suddenly realized something, and her heart skipped a beat.
This lunatic… could it be she intends to make Tomoe Gozen fall into the same trap as Zenobia?!
Zenobia — the one who was famous for being dignified, always upholding discipline in Chaldea — had at first been the one who most strongly opposed this club.
However, even such a proper woman, from the very first moment she laid eyes on Mochizuki Eikou, eventually fell. She even went so far as to turn around and become the manager of the Eikou Club, completely transforming into a genuine pig sow crazy for men!
If Tomoe Gozen repeats that same tragedy, then wouldn't that mean...
"Glup..."
A bead of cold sweat rolled down Jeanne Alter's snow-white cheek as she swallowed nervously.
This… this is no longer an investigation...
This is Umbrella Corporation from Resident Evil!
These crazed women intend to use the "E-Virus" to infect and assimilate all the surrounding females, erasing every opposing voice, and building an absolute totalitarian regime!
That's right, as long as they use Eikou's charm to pull everyone to their side, no one will be able to oppose them anymore!
Damn it, this lunatic is really willing to stage such a terrifying act of terrorism just to prolong the "Eikou Holy Grail War"?!
"I strongly oppose this proposal!" Jeanne Alter slammed the table and stood up, "Mochizuki Eikou isn't even an official member of our club, you people have no reason to investigate an outsider!"
"No can do~"
Jeanne White smiled and said,
"Because our club is called the Eikou Club, of course we have to start the investigation with Eikou. Please confirm that carefully for us, Miss Tomoe."
Enough already, there's no need to waste time investigating anything—just arrest these man-crazy women, problem solved! There's no need to drag Eikou into this; meeting him would only make things worse!
"Hmm..."
Tomoe Gozen seemed to lean toward Jeanne White's proposal and nodded.
"Saint Jeanne is quite right. I must begin with Mochizuki Eikou."
NOOOOO!!!!
Jeanne Alter screamed internally.
Damn it, it won't be long before the Eikou Club gains yet another permanent member!
"To find out what kind of person he truly is, and what reason could possibly make him attract you all so much — if I don't investigate clearly, I can't rest easy."
Tomoe Gozen spoke with a sense of righteous justice:
"If Mochizuki Eikou is the kind of man who toys with women's feelings, I will not hesitate to expose and arrest him, then hand him over to the school and the Shadow Disciplinary Committee for punishment."
You're the one being toyed with miserably by the women in front of you! They're the ones who should be arrested! Jeanne Alter screamed in her heart. Why does this feel so familiar, wasn't the Zenobia chapter exactly like this?!
"Umu umu, well said." Jeanne White nodded. "I'm really looking forward to seeing your performance. I hope you and my little brother can create some intense sparks, Miss Tomoe."
You're just hoping she falls, aren't you?!
Normally she's a serious, well-behaved Saint, but the moment Eikou's name comes up, she suddenly became and Devil — what kind of "sparks" are you even hoping for, huh?!
"If that's the case—"
Tomoe Gozen nodded solemnly.
"Once we've fully investigated Mochizuki Eikou's situation, we'll give your club a fair and objective conclusion. Until then, the club will not be sealed off, but we ask for your cooperation in the investigation."
"No problem~"
Jeanne White also nodded politely.
"By the way, Miss Tomoe… if I recall correctly, in history, you had a husband, didn't you?"
Tomoe Gozen was momentarily taken aback, but still answered seriously:
"Umu, my husband was Lord Kiso Yoshinaka. Although he went ahead of me, I have never once forgotten that I am his wife."
In other words… she's still a young widow?!
Jeanne Alter's eyes widened in horror.
It's over, this time it's really over — isn't this exactly the same as Zenobia's case?!
The more a woman has had a husband, the more likely she is to turn her eyes toward Eikou!
"I see..." Jeanne White smiled and said, "Good luck~."
Tomoe Gozen: "What do you mean by that?"
