"I have good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
Just after the Golden Week holiday ended, Amakusa Shino, the Student Council Vice President, came knocking.
"Before hearing the news, I think Vice President Amakusa should learn to knock."
Yukinoshita Yukino said expressionlessly.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Yukino."
Amakusa Shino looked down at Yukinoshita Yukino, who remained motionless in her chair.
"Are you trying to say something like, 'My power as Student Council President is limitless'?"
Yukinoshita Yukino did not lower her aggression due to the other party's intimidating aura; instead, she said earnestly, "But unfortunately, as a mere Vice (emphasis) President, you do not possess that level of authority."
"No, what I mean is, what if you two were doing something embarrassing? If I knocked first, I wouldn't see anything!"
Amakusa Shino's expression didn't change at all; she put her hands on her hips and spoke with righteous indignation.
"…"
Yukinoshita Yukino wore an expression of regret, as if thinking, 'I miscalculated, this person is even more shameless than I expected.'
"Huh? Looking at her face, it seems like President Amakusa is saying something important, but why doesn't the content match at all…?"
Yuigahama Yui scratched her face, confused.
"If the audio and video are out of sync, just give it a good slap."
Yanami immediately offered advice: "My TV occasionally does that."
"Hmm?"
Amakusa Shino, still confronting Yukinoshita Yukino, didn't hear Yanami's words, but she keenly noticed Yuigahama Yui's overly enthusiastic gaze and asked in confusion, "Why is Yuigahama-san looking at me with such eagerness?"
"Don't mind her, she's just planning to attack you, Amakusa."
Asakura said.
"As the person involved, how can I not mind?! Rather, what are you guys trying to do?!"
Amakusa Shino loudly retorted.
"I want to hear the good news first."
"Your reaction time is too slow! Hey, Magic Club President! Don't deliberately ignore my safety!"
"I want two pieces of good news."
"Good news can't multiply!"
"I also want three wishes."
"Don't make wishes to me! What do you think I am, a genie?!"
The girl shrieked in frustration.
"Because there's no place to rub, it must be a divine dragon."
Asakura seriously examined the girl's figure and said regretfully.
"Yanami, and Yuigahama-san, can I punch your club president?"
Amakusa Shino raised her fist, smiling without humor.
"Eh? I don't think using violence like this is a good idea…"
Yuigahama Yui quickly tried to dissuade her, forcing a cheerful smile: "Smile, smile~"
"Indeed…"
Amakusa Shino took a deep breath, seemingly calming down a bit.
"That's right!"
Seeing this, Yuigahama Yui also let out a sigh of relief…
"Duels should be fought with a smile."
Amakusa Shino struck a capoeira stance.
However, it was clear she had never practiced capoeira; her movements were as comical as a llama's.
"Things feel even more serious now! Anna-chan, hurry up and help stop them!"
Yuigahama Yui quickly sought outside assistance.
Yanami glanced at Amakusa Shino, then at Asakura, who was unconcerned and leisurely sipping his tea (a 1.25-liter promotional bottle of oolong tea).
Then, she said to Amakusa Shino with righteous indignation.
"One punch, one thousand yen."
"Don't fan the flames over there!"
Yuigahama Yui cried, half-laughing, half-crying.
"Too expensive, eight hundred yen."
Amakusa Shino stood properly, bargaining seriously.
"Deal."
Yanami gave a thumbs-up.
Yuigahama Yui saw Asakura put down his cup and stand up with sharp eyes, so she quickly ran to his side to soothe him: "President Amakusa and Anna-chan are just joking, Asakura-kun, don't be angry…"
Asakura snorted coldly.
"I wouldn't say anything about a thousand yen, after all, the hourly wage for convenience store work here in Chiba is roughly that much,"
He said sternly: "But eight hundred yen is really too cheap, isn't that even less than the convenience store hourly wage?!"
"Is that what you're worried about?!"
Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but loudly retort: "The point is completely wrong! Honestly, I give up!"
"Also…"
Asakura looked at Amakusa Shino, who cautiously took a step back: "President Amakusa, your blood pressure seems a bit high, you should pay attention to your health."
"Whose fault do you think this is—!"
"Mainly commodity prices and consumption tax, I suppose."
"Has the problem suddenly become realistic?!"
"It's all the politicians' fault! Anyway, let's start the revolution with the Fujiwara family!"
"Stop it, don't make the problem even more complicated!"
After another period of bickering, when Yukinoshita Yukino was annoyed enough to want to kick them out, Amakusa Shino finally got to the point.
"Then I'll tell you the bad news first."
Ignoring Asakura's 'Huh, what about my opinion?' look, Amakusa Shino said: "Although it's a bit sudden, both the Magic Club and the Service Club are probably facing the risk of being disbanded very soon, you know?"
"Huh? Shouldn't you have told us this sooner?"
Yuigahama Yui asked in surprise.
"Whose fault do you think this is?!"
Amakusa Shino looked at everyone present, displeased.
"…Commodity prices and consumption tax?"
Yuigahama Yui replied uncertainly.
"Enough, we don't need to keep playing that joke!"
Amakusa Shino helplessly massaged her forehead.
If this were a manga, she'd probably have a head full of black lines by now.
"In short, due to various reasons like budget and management, President Nijima plans to quickly resolve the issue of redundant clubs,"
Speaking of the main topic, Amakusa Shino seemed much more serious: "The main method is to cut and abolish a batch of clubs that 'have no achievements.' Clearly, the Service Club has no service achievements—well, if it did, that would also be a big problem, mainly from the PTA side—and the Magic Club also has no magic achievements. Both of you have unfortunately appeared on the first preliminary list for disbandment."
"If that's the case, then many clubs have no achievements, right? The Supernatural Club can't really find supernatural phenomena that easily either."
Yanami said indignantly: "And the Cooking Club! I originally thought they were always cooking, with something to eat all the time, but over ninety percent of the time they just sit there discussing menus! Why aren't they abolished first?!"
"The Supernatural Club was already automatically disbanded due to insufficient members, and the Cooking Club actually participated in a county-level cooking competition. Although their results were mediocre, it still counts as an achievement."
Amakusa Shino mercilessly declared: "They are different from you."
"Darn it!"
Yanami knocked on the table, her voice filled with indignation.
Asakura looked at her with relief. He had thought that the girl had only joined the Magic Club for the snacks, but he didn't expect her to be so angry about the unfair treatment of the club at this moment.
"They went out to eat delicious food without calling me!"
The girl said indignantly, "I've been visiting and observing for several days, after all!"
Asakura: "..."
Give back my momentary approval!
