Chapter 200: Blizzard
As the meeting started, the members of the student council presidents took the lead as everyone listened carefully to the arrangement of the clubs, whether it was the room or the budget.
"The dojo is for everyone! You can't be selfish!"
"But we have a lot of members! You don't have many members, and we also have to face a tournament, so just wait for a moment, and don't be impatient!"
"If you can show a result, then it is good, but what is your result?!"
"What did you say, bastard!"
The moment the meetings started, all of them started to fight each other, especially the kendo club and the judo club, which fought for the use of the old dojo as it had limited space.
"Calm down. Calm down."
"Stop standing up! Stop fighting!"
"Kaichou, do something!"
"....."
As the new students had come and joined the judo club, the captain of the club wanted to achieve a better result, and because of that, they often trained more and took the time and space that was supposed to be used by other clubs, which caused dissatisfaction from others.
However, the captain of the judo club wasn't a pushover, and he also had a lot of members, so despite not having a good record, it had a lot of prestige, especially when judo as a sport was favored in this country.
Still, while the other martial arts clubs could be ignored, the kendo club couldn't be ignored as it also had quite a good number of members, and with the lead of this club, they complained to the judo club, who monopolized the old dojo by themselves.
Yet, was the judo club wrong?
No, the captain didn't think so, especially when he discovered many powerful first years, and if the judo club could get a good result, then wouldn't it lead to a good report for their school?
Still, no one could stop this argument, and Satoshi, who watched all of this, also didn't intend to join while he had some experience to handle this type of situation.
'It's always like this, after all.'
The problem of budget and location had always been a priority and a source of conflict, as every club wanted to have a budget and a better location.
In the past, when Satoshi was Ishigami, he remembered how Shirogane might be sent to Southeast Asia if he couldn't handle the problem within the club management, especially when the identities of the captains of each club were all extraordinary.
Meanwhile, the identity of the captains of those clubs was all normal, or even commoner, but while Satoshi could help with his position, he would attract more trouble, and he might even be busy, considering how being capable in the organization meant more trouble.
The best way to live comfortably in the organization was to suck the ass of the superior, so he could be their ally, and quickly be promoted, and take away all of his followers' achievements, and give all of his mistakes to them.
Dirty?
Well, he wasn't the owner of the organization, nor was he its leader, so he didn't pay much attention and just lowered his presence as much as he could while looking at the blueprint design of the school, thinking about which room he should take for the Fortune Telling Club.
Just as he focused on choosing which room he wanted, the student council president, Muneyoshi Kugayama, was helpless and then looked at the beautiful young woman by his side.
"Irisu-san, can you help us?"
Fuyumi Irisu let out a helpless sigh and said, "You owe me one."
"Sure, sure. What do you want? Do you want to go out with me?"
"No, I don't need something as meaningless as that."
"How cruel!"
As the two talked to each other, the young woman stood up and said, "You guys, can you be quiet for a moment? Let's talk about all of this calmly so we can move on to the next problem, or do you want to make all of us wait with your argument?"
When those words were said, all the captains of the clubs, all the clubs, especially those who had nothing to do with this problem, looked at the judo club, kendo club, and all other clubs that were in need of using a dojo with an annoyance as their argument had made them wait for so long.
Satoshi also looked up for the first time, looking at this girl who stopped all the arguments with her sentences.
'Fuyumi Irisu.'
He didn't seem to remember seeing this girl, but as she was in her 2nd year, somehow, he understood why there was hardly a chance for him to see her.
Yet, similar to Chitanda and Eru, Irisu was beautiful.
With a slender body that stood straight and her long black hair that was lightly swayed by the wind that came from the window, Irisu looked at those captains who had an argument with a calm attitude and elegance.
Still, if one had to say what her most remembered features were, it would be her pale skin, which was as white as snow, and the strand of hair that ran across her face down to her right cheek.
At this moment, everyone felt like they were facing a noble, someone with a higher status than them, but Irisu didn't have a special ability that made everyone subconsciously obedient toward her. Instead, it was because she stood up that she became the enemy of those who rebelled, especially those clubs who were in need of using the dojo.
However, Irisu had made all of the people in this place her allies as she had made them all become angry and annoyed by this meaningless argument that made them wait for so long.
"Can you tell us what your problem is again?"
When those words fell, the judo club and the kendo club, who were the representatives of the opposite ideas, quickly said their problems.
"The judo club wanted to monopolize the dojo entirely and never give us any chance to use it."
"As I had said before, it is just for a moment! When the tournament ends, then we will return to normal, and if we win the tournament, then won't we make our school proud?"
"Then, can you win? Can you make a promise in front of everyone that you will win?"
"I..."
"And what if you lose? If you lose, what will you do, especially to all of us who have been troubled by you!"
"I..."
This time, Irisu no longer needed to talk since everyone had turned the captain of the judo club into an enemy.
Still—
"Does judo training need to be held inside the dojo all the time?"
As Irisu asked this question, the captain of the judo club quickly shook his head. "No, we don't need to train in the dojo all the time."
To make people move on their own instead of giving them an order.
Satoshi had to say that Irisu had mastered the ways of psychology and leadership, as she could manipulate all of them easily.
Still, the good thing was the conflict between all the clubs within the dojo toward the judo club had ended, as the judo club apologized and decided not to try to monopolize the dojo anymore.
Yet, due to this feat, Satoshi couldn't help but glance at Irisu, thinking that this girl was amazing. What kind of upbringing did she have that made her someone like this?
He wasn't sure, but he also didn't have much of an interest since he had made up his mind to be with only one girl, and considering Kaho's nature, he was afraid that he would be really pushed down from the cliff, passed out, then trapped inside the dungeon within her shrine. More importantly, as he gained a new life, he thought of a peaceful one, so let's pass, he thought.
Still, after that conflict, the meeting was smooth, and Satoshi also quickly stood up and asked for the room used for the Fortune Telling Society, which Muneyoshi agreed to since the room chosen by Satoshi was empty and considering Kaho's dedication to get a teacher's permission, everything was all smooth.
Just as Satoshi sat down, Irisu couldn't help but glance in his direction for a moment before looking away.
"As expected of the Empress! You did well in this meeting!"
As Muneyoshi tried to praise her, thinking that his handsome face and smooth words might move her heart, Irisu remained in silence until the meeting ended.
Regardless, the meeting was all well, and Satoshi also didn't intend to linger any longer, thinking of going after Kaho at her house since he knew that she was all alone, and she also promised him to wear a shrine maiden outfit.
Yes, unlike him, who needed to stay, Kaho directly went home after school as she had nothing to do, and Satoshi didn't let her wait as he didn't want her to spend her time at school meaninglessly, especially when her parents were all out, and she might need to help with the management of the shrine.
As the meeting finished, Satoshi stretched his hands high and was ready to leave, but as he looked around, he realized that Irisu had left, leaving Muneyoshi in sadness, which made him shake his head.
Walking out of the meeting room, he walked to the corridor and then found a small note with a cute cover, which appeared to be dropped by someone.
"Did someone drop it?"
Thinking so, he took the note and opened it, thinking of getting the name of the owner of the note so he could tell the teacher to whom this book should be returned.
"Irisu-senpai?"
However, as he was about to look inside, he saw Irisu was there, completely lacking the composure that she had previously, and all of a sudden, she approached him so fast and grabbed his collar.
"Eh?"
Before Satoshi could even react, he was pulled into an empty class and then pushed into the wall, Irisu came so close to his face and asked in a voice that was as cold as a blizzard, "Did you see the inside?"
"....."
"????????"
