Let's start the meeting now! - 29

Early in the morning.

When the warm sunlight streams through the window and the air carries the scent of morning dew,

"...Now, let's begin the regular meeting of the Abydos Countermeasures Committee."

The regular meeting of destruction has begun.

"Since Sensei and Nito are attending this time, I think it will be a bit more serious..."

"Yes~☆"

"Of course."

"What, it's like we weren't serious before..."

"Uhe, nice to meet you Sensei, and Nito."

"Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you..."

It's been a day since the incident, and my body has completely healed.

I don't know if it's because Serina, the best healer, treated me, or if it's just because of the halo, but things are all good.

Anyway, thanks to my recovery, I was able to watch this fun meeting in person, so I should be grateful to Serina.

"Now, to get to the main topic, today's agenda is to discuss specific methods for our core issue... 'How do we pay off the school's debt?'"

962.35 million yen.

About 9.3 billion won in Korean currency.

Even I think that robbing a bank seems to be the best way.

...Am I getting influenced?

"If any student has an opinion, please raise your hand!"

"Me! Me!"

Serika raised her hand first.

"Yes, first-year student Kuromi Serika. Please speak."

Ayane's speech is too stiff.

"...Hey, can you do something about the honorifics? It feels weird."

"But it's a special meeting, Serika-chan..."

"So what? It's fun. We rarely had meetings with Sensei."

"Not rarely, it's the first time."

"That's right! It feels like a proper committee meeting~☆"

"Haa, well, if that's what the seniors think..."

In the end, it was decided that Ayane's honorifics would be maintained.

"Okay, anyway! As the treasurer of the Countermeasures Committee, I'm telling you, our school is on the verge of bankruptcy!"

"Serika was the treasurer?!"

Serika is the treasurer?!

I hope she doesn't get scammed and lose money.

"Nito..."

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Serika called me out looking hurt, so I quickly apologized.

"Ugh... Anyway! At this rate, we'll be closed down! Everyone knows that, right?"

"Well, that's right."

"Just the interest we have to pay to the bank every month is 7.88 million yen! We're barely making ends meet by doing this and that, but it's not enough to even pay the monthly interest."

It's definitely impossible.

"We're at our limit with arresting wanted criminals, handling complaints, and doing external volunteer work like we're doing now."

Serika slammed her hand on the desk and stood up.

"There's no solution at this rate! We need something big! We need to aim for a big hit!"

Serika passionately made her case.

"Life is about one big shot..."

Sensei, who is addicted to gacha games, muttered quietly, but everyone except me was focused on Serika and didn't hear it.

Life is about one big shot, but Sensei is the ceiling...

"A big one... you say?"

Serika took something out of her bag.

Flap-

"This is it! A flyer I got in the city!"

"Th-this is..."

It was a multi-level marketing flyer.

"Let's see... With a germanium tourmaline bracelet network business, you too can become rich... huh...?"

"That's right! We'll make a lot of money with this business!"

"..."

Serika explained with a grin.

"Last time I went to the city, I was dragged into a seminar by some people, and they were selling germanium bracelets that increase your luck!"

"..."

Oh boy... She didn't even go because of the flyer, she was dragged in...

How is Serika the treasurer?

"They said just wearing this will increase your luck! If you sell this to three people around you...?"

Serika finally noticed that the atmosphere around her was strange.

"...What's with those expressions?"

"Rejected."

Hoshino took the flyer from Serika.

"What?! Why? Why?!"

"Serika-chan... This is a multi-level marketing network. So..."

"It's a scam."

Ayane, who forgot to use honorifics, and Shiroko, the ignorant fact bomber, told Serika the truth.

"What?!"

Serika was incredibly shocked.

"In the first place, I don't know what germanium has to do with luck... And there's no way a proper business would be discussed at such a suspicious seminar..."

Ayane pointed out the facts to Serika, who was in shock.

"I-is that so? I bought two bracelets?!"

She bought two of them?

"Serika-chan got tricked~ How cute~☆"

"...!!"

"Geez, Serika-chan is so naive. If you don't get your act together, you'll be tricked by a bad adult later and your life will be irreversible, you know?"

"Ugh, ugh... It seemed plausible... I even skipped lunch to buy this..."

Serika's ears drooped pitifully.

"It's okay, Serika, it happens."

I comforted her and stroked her head.

"Th-thank you, Nito..."

After hearing my thanks, I immediately said what I was going to say.

"It's totally possible because it's Serika."

"Nito?!"

Ahaha, this is so much fun.

"Um... Then let's wrap up Serika-chan's opinion, does anyone else have an opinion...?"

Ayane managed to salvage the situation and moved on.

"Me! Me!"

Hoshino raised her hand.

It seemed quite enthusiastic for Hoshino.

"Um... Yes. Third-year student Takanashi Hoshino, the president. I'm a little anxious though..."

"Ahem. Ahem~."

Hoshino cleared her throat and began to explain.

"Our school's biggest problem is that we're the only students in the whole school."

That's true.

Where... Where did I read that?

Was it that 10,000 people can do in half a day what one person would do in a lifetime?

Hoshino continued her explanation.

"The number of students is the power of the school. Schools like Trinity or Gehenna, which have five-digit student numbers, must have huge monthly student council fees."

"Um... I-is that so?"

"That's right! So we need to increase the number of students. That's where we start."

Hoshino seems quite serious.

As someone who knows what will come at the end of this explanation, I couldn't take it that way though.

"That way, we can produce senators and have a say in the General Student Council."

"That's a good point... But how..."

And Hoshino's serious atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

"It's simple. We hijack other schools' school buses!"

When you look at it this way, Hoshino and Shiroko are...

"Huh?"

Ayane was surprised as expected.

"We hijack the school buses on their way to school and don't let them off unless they stamp our school transfer form."

It's definitely a very difficult task, but Hoshino has the power to do it.

"Uhe~ We'll increase the number of students by a lot with this!"

"Interesting."

Shiroko, who had been quietly listening while cleaning her gun, perked up her ears and reacted.

"Is the target Trinity? Or Gehenna? Millennium?"

I don't like the students at Trinity,

Gehenna has Hina, who is scary.

And Millennium probably has a way to deal with this kind of crazy situation.

But why am I even thinking about this?

"Depending on the target, we may have to change our tactics."

"Eh? Um... Well. Trinity? No, Gehenna would be better!"

As expected of our head Hoshino, she can easily beat Hina, huh?

How reliable.

"W-wait a minute! There's no way a transfer like that is possible!"

The normal Ayane made an objection.

"Besides, the disciplinary committees of other schools won't leave us alone..."

The disciplinary committees are fine.

Hoshino will knock them all down-

"Uhe~ I guess so, right?"

She's not doing it...

"It's not 'I guess so, right', Hoshino-senpai... If you don't take the meeting more seriously..."

Ayane looks tired.

"Serika, Ayane looks tired."

"Yeah... I guess so..."

Serika still seems to be in shock.

Then, the one person who should never open their mouth started talking.

"I have a better idea."

It was Shiroko.

"...Yes. Second-year student Sunaookami Shiroko..."

Ayane seemed to have predicted the future, but she gave Shiroko the right to speak.

Isn't that real courage?

Shiroko, who got the right to speak, said.

"Let's rob a bank."

In the end, that line finally came out.

"Huh?!"

"It's a definite and simple method. I've already decided on the target. We'll rob the First Central Bank in the city."

Then she proudly laid out the materials she had prepared.

"I've already figured out the location of the vault, the guards' routes, the blind spots of the CCTVs, and the route of the cash transport vehicle."

"Is that what you've been looking at so hard?!"

That level of passion is commendable.

"We can make 100 million yen in 5 minutes. Here, I've also prepared the masks."

Shiroko took out those masks with numbers written on the forehead from a shopping bag.

Then she put on a blue mask with the number 2 written on it.

"When did you even..."

Ayane was shocked by the madness beyond imagination and couldn't finish her sentence.

"Wow, did Shiroko-chan sew these herself?"

"Look at this! Doesn't it look like a wrestler?"

"..."

There's not one for me...

"I'm making one for Nito now. Don't worry."

"Yes... Thank you..."

That didn't mean I wanted one though...

"Wow~ Good. Life is about one big shot, right, Serika-chan?"

"No way!! Rejected! Rejected!"

Serika, who finally came out of shock, shouted.

"R-right! Crime is not allowed!"

Ayane chimed in when she saw her chance.

Shiroko finally took off her mask.

Her ears are drooping powerlessly.

"Even if you make that sullen face, what can't be done can't be done, Shiroko-senpai!"

Ayane drove the point home without regard.

"Haa... Everyone, please give me more proper ideas... If not..."

"Um~ Me! Me! Me next!"

"Yes... Second-year student Izayoi Nonomi. Please tell us something that's not a crime or a scam..."

Ayane seems to have almost given up now.

Nonomi excitedly began to explain.

"Yes! It's not a crime or multi-level marketing scheme, but it's a surefire way!"

Ayane's eyes regained a little life.

"Idols! School idols!"

It darkened again.

"I-idols...?!"

"Yes! I saw it in an anime. Idols are the standard for school revival! Let's all debut as idols together and..."

"Rejected."

Sensei was happy when the topic of idols came up but became gloomy at Hoshino's rejection.

"Huh... This one's not good either?"

"Why? I think Hoshino-senpai would definitely have demand from certain otaku?"

"Uhehe~ A person who likes this meager body is a messed up person. Death penalty."

"Then how about Nito?"

"...Eh?"

"If Nito becomes an idol, it would be more like a showbiz than an idol, right?"

Hoshino is right.

She's right, but... A showbiz?

If you say that, Hoshino is also a showbiz, right?

She's only 3cm taller than me...

"Um... The discussion is going round and round... Shouldn't we decide on something...?"

"Let's leave the decision to Sensei. Sensei, what do you want to do among the proposals that came out now?"

Hoshino passed the decision-making power to Sensei.

"I'll be the producer!! Let's become idols!"

That crazy pervert.

He seems to be serious about idols.

"Wow~ It's my proposal!"

Nonomi is happy that the idol idea was supported.

"Okay! Then I'll prepare everything tomorrow!"

Sensei is very enthusiastic.

...I'm anxious.

"Sir, Teacher! A-are you really deciding on that?!"

"Trust me!"

For some reason, a chilling and ominous feeling passed over me.

...What is it?
