"Come in."
A voice came from inside.
Lin and Nodoka Manabe exchanged a glance, and Lin reached out to open the door.
He let Nodoka Manabe enter first.
Then he followed her inside, closing the door behind him.
"Eh? Nodoka!"
As the two walked into the Light Music Club's activity room, a light exclamation rang out.
One of the four beautiful girls stood up, a surprised and happy smile on her delicate and cute face.
She had choppy, medium-short brown hair.
The bangs on the right side of her forehead were held in place by two yellow hair clips.
She was about 156 centimeters tall.
Her features were delicate and cute, with a touch of baby fat on her fair cheeks.
She stood up, left her seat, and trotted over to Nodoka Manabe, grabbing her hand and asking curiously:
"Nodoka, what are you doing here?"
"Did you come especially to see me?"
This was her childhood friend, Yui Hirasawa.
Looking at Yui Hirasawa, Nodoka Manabe's gaze softened slightly.
"I came with the president."
"Eh? The president?"
Yui Hirasawa froze at her words, her eyes finally turning to Lin.
President? What president?
"Wow, he's so tall and handsome!"
Looking closely at Lin, her eyes widened slightly and her mouth fell open as she unconsciously blurted out her most direct impression.
The other three beautiful girls by the table stood up, looking at Lin and Nodoka Manabe with flickering gazes.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Lin smiled slightly, seeing Yui Hirasawa staring straight at him.
"Yui."
Nodoka Manabe called out to her.
"Ah, sorry."
Yui Hirasawa snapped back to her senses, her face blushing slightly as she scratched her head with an embarrassed smile:
"This student is just too handsome. I couldn't help but stare."
As expected of a natural airhead.
She just blurted it right out.
Seeing this, a hint of resignation appeared in Nodoka Manabe's eyes.
But it was understandable.
After all, she also thought Lin was very handsome.
In terms of looks and presence alone.
He was the most outstanding person she had ever met.
And they say a man is most handsome when he's serious.
Seeing Lin working earnestly, she found him even more charming.
At this thought, an unusual glint flashed through Nodoka Manabe's eyes.
"Yui, who are they?"
At that moment, the girl with the headband sitting next to where Yui Hirasawa had been, spoke up.
"Oh, oh, I forgot."
Hearing this, Yui Hirasawa immediately remembered and turned to the others, introducing them with a grin:
"Let me introduce you."
"This is the good friend I told you about, the one I've known since we were little, Nodoka Manabe—Nodoka."
After that, she began to introduce her three partners from the Light Music Club.
"Nodoka, this is our club president, Ritsu Tainaka; this is Mio Akiyama; and this is Tsumugi Kotobuki."
"Hello, everyone from the Light Music Club."
Nodoka Manabe looked at Mio Akiyama and the other two, greeting them with a small smile.
"Hello."
Mio Akiyama, Ritsu Tainaka, and Tsumugi Kotobuki all smiled back at her.
"And this is…"
At this, everyone's gaze turned to Lin.
Lin smiled slightly at them. "Hello. I'm Lin from Class 1-C, and the president of the Student Council."
"Eh, the Student Council President?!"
The members of the Light Music Club were stunned for a moment, looking at Lin in surprise.
A trace of confusion appeared in the eyes of Mio Akiyama and Tsumugi Kotobuki.
As if questioning his identity.
Yui Hirasawa and Ritsu Tainaka, on the other hand, just blinked in surprise.
They couldn't understand why a big shot like the Student Council President would come to the Light Music Club.
Lin smiled again and said:
"I'm here on official business."
"Yesterday, the Student Council held a meeting for the presidents of all official clubs, and no one from the Light Music Club attended."
"A club presidents' meeting??!!"
Ritsu Tainaka blinked.
A drop of cold sweat seemed to appear on her forehead.
"Club President…"
Yui Hirasawa, Mio Akiyama, and Tsumugi Kotobuki all turned to look at her in unison.
"Um, well…"
Ritsu Tainaka felt a pang of guilt and subconsciously blurted out a lie:
"Was there such a thing?"
"How come I didn't know about it?"
"Of course there was!"
Mio Akiyama's gaze gradually turned dangerous.
Her left fist clenched lightly.
Ritsu Tainaka gave a sheepish smile and quickly admitted her fault: "Alright, it's my bad. I forgot about it."
Last week, the Student Council's secretary, Chika Fujiwara, had actually come to notify them.
But after a few days, she had forgotten.
Glaring at her helplessly, Mio Akiyama turned to Lin, a blush appearing on her face as she said nervously:
"Um, Mr. President, you probably didn't come here just because the Light Music Club missed the meeting, right?"
"Oh, right."
Ritsu Tainaka, Yui Hirasawa, and Tsumugi Kotobuki also realized this and turned to look at Lin.
It didn't seem like something that would require the Student Council President himself to show up.
Lin nodded lightly. "The Light Music Club hasn't had any new members for the past two years. It's already on the list for disbandment."
"You should be aware of that."
"Mhm."
The four members of the Light Music Club exchanged glances and nodded.
Lin continued, "When no one showed up for the club presidents' meeting, I assumed this year's Light Music Club also had no new members."
"I was preparing to revoke the Light Music Club's official status according to the rules."
"However, Miss Manabe said the Light Music Club does have new members, and that you might now meet the qualifications for an official club."
"Since Miss Manabe said so, I came with her to verify the situation."
Hearing this, Nodoka Manabe couldn't help but glance at Lin, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
"So that's how it is…"
Hearing Lin's explanation, the four girls from the Light Music Club showed looks of realization and cast grateful glances at Nodoka Manabe.
Yui Hirasawa, in particular, was beaming.
The other three girls also smiled.
However, their happiness was short-lived.
Just then, Lin spoke again:
"It seems you don't have enough members."
"Uh…"
The smiles on the four girls' faces vanished.
A smile transferred to Lin's face.
Lin's lips curled slightly. "Therefore, according to school regulations, the Light Music Club's official status will be revoked."
"Ehhh!!!"
The four girls from the Light Music Club were horrified.
Ritsu Tainaka, especially as the club president, felt like the sky was falling.
Revoking their official status.
No, please don't!
Without official status, the Light Music Club wouldn't be able to receive funding for its activities.
We can't have that!
"Hm, I've got it!"
Ritsu Tainaka suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
She rubbed her hands together in front of her, a fawning smile spreading across her face:
"Hehehe, Mr. Student Council President—oh no, Lord President, you must be tired after coming all this way."
"Why don't you sit down, have a cup of tea and some snacks, and rest a bit."
"We can talk things over slowly."
As she spoke, she had already moved to Lin's side. After finishing, she called out to Mio Akiyama and Tsumugi Kotobuki:
"Mio, Tsumugi, hurry up and get some tea and snacks ready."
"Okay, right away!"
Tsumugi Kotobuki responded immediately and went to prepare some black tea with a smile.
A flicker of hesitation appeared in Mio Akiyama's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and she also left her seat to get the snacks.
Ritsu Tainaka moved behind Lin.
Placing her palms on his back, she gently pushed him toward the table and chairs, her smile unwavering as she said cheerfully,
"Don't be a stranger! We in the Light Music Club are the most hospitable people you'll meet."
"Miss Manabe, you join us too."
With that, she also extended an invitation to Nodoka Manabe, who was standing to the side.
