Chapter 8 Tanda’s Commission
Amakusa Shino sighed and turned her gaze to the two of them.
What are your opinions?
Hiratsuka Shizuka shrugged, indicating that she didn't care. The success or failure of this matter then depended on the wishes of this Miss Yukinoshita.
[The system has detected a romanceable character]
[Romantic option name: Yukino Yukinoshita]
[Current Yukino Yukinoshita's affection level: -1]
"???" Uchiha Ryo's smile was a little stiff. He remembered that this was the first time he had met Yukinoshita, so why was the affection level not 0 but a negative number!
"What does this Classics Literature Department do?"
Yukinoshita raised a question, indicating that she did not object to the student council president's suggestion.
Just as Amakusa Shino was about to speak, Uchiha Ryo abruptly interrupted her. He didn't want any unpleasant words from Amakusa Shino so that Yukino could join smoothly.
"Our club has very relaxed requirements. It doesn't matter if we read books in the classroom. The only activity we have to do is to be in charge of a section in the school newspaper that belongs to the Classics Department."
Gazing at Yukinoshita's almost unfairly cute face, Uchiha Ryo briefly described the current situation of their club.
Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in agreement. "Yukino, you just wanted to find a quiet place to read, right? I think this place is quite nice."
Uchiha Ryo's gaze shifted. "Is this Hiratsuka-sensei, the homeroom teacher of Class A? Wow, he's huge..."
Thinking about the Ice Princess Kaguya who gave the freshman speech that day, and Shijou Maki in the class, and then glancing at Yukino Yukinoshita and Amakusa Shino who had excellent grades in the second year, she thought about it.
The difference is so obvious to the naked eye, it's truly enormous...
[The system has detected a romanceable character]
[Romantic trait: Shizuka Hiratsuka]
[Current Hiratsuka Shizune's favorability rating: 10]
What?! Is this allowed? But Hiratsuka-sensei is almost thirty this year, while Uchiha Rin is still a handsome young man.
However, upon closer reflection, female characters receive rewards for each stage of increasing their favorability rating, and it's not stated that they must be maxed out.
"Then please take care of me, Manager Amakusa."
After a long while, Yukino Yukinoshita chose to join, and Shizuka Hiratsuka would naturally become the instructor of the Classic Literature Club.
The matter of informing the president was left to Hiratsuka-sensei. Yukino Yukinoshita quietly found a place to sit down, and then looked curiously at Amakusa Shino.
"Minister, does our club really not have any other activities?"
Amakusa Shino gave an awkward laugh. "Um... well, I really haven't decided what to do yet. Has Yukinoshita-san made any suggestions?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes lit up. Although she couldn't create the club she envisioned herself, changing this idle club seemed like a good idea.
"Mr. Amakusa, I hope that the club can lend a helping hand to those who encounter difficulties and accept various requests from the school and students. Of course, it's not just about lending a helping hand; it's about teaching them how to fish rather than giving them fish. We won't solve their problems for them, but rather let them find out how to solve them themselves."
Chitanda Eru nodded. "Oh, Yukinoshita-san is very kind-hearted."
Shirogane Miyuki thought for a moment, "This is probably something that volunteer groups do."
Uchiha Ryo didn't say anything. As expected of Yukino Yukinoshita, since she couldn't establish a service club at Shuchiin Academy, she wanted to turn this idle classical literature club into her own club.
Amakusa Shino stroked her chin. "Yukinoshita-san's idea is excellent. Doing it this way will not only boost the reputation of the Classic Literature Club, but also give them something to do."
Finally, someone has come up with a club activity idea! Amakusa Shino has been spending the last two days either reading in the classroom or doing homework here; she's so bored she's about to die.
Hearing Amakusa Shino's affirmative words, Yukino Yukinoshita smiled. "Then I'll explain it to Hiratsuka-sensei and ask her to help promote it."
"To lend a helping hand to those in need..."
Chitanda Eru, who was sitting to the side, suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then looked seriously at Amakusa Shino and Yukinoshita.
"Amakusa-go-bu, Yukinoshita-san, um... can people in the club apply for a commission?"
Amakusa Shino met Chitanda's bright eyes and nodded casually. "Of course, Chitanda-san wants to be our Classic Literature Club's first commissioner~"
Uchiha Ryo, who hadn't spoken until now, chuckled lightly. "Chitanda-san, even without this club activity, you can still talk to us if you encounter any difficulties as our classmate."
Chitanda Eru smiled and said, "Thank you."
[Chitanda Eru's affection level increased - G-spot +10]
[Checking that Chitanda Eru's affection level has reached the point where she considers you a friend, reward: 100 G points]
"I do have something I'd like to ask for your help with. It's a personal matter, and I really shouldn't be asking you for it... Anyway, please hear me out, okay?"
No one spoke; instead, they silently gazed at Chitanda.
"...I have an uncle named Jun Sekiya. He went to Malaysia ten years ago and went missing seven years ago."
"I remember, when I was very young, about ten years ago, my uncle and I were very close. In my memory, no matter what I asked, my uncle would always answer me."
Chitanda Eru seemed lost in her own memories, a natural smile playing on her lips, as if she were thinking of something happy.
"I was young then, and I spoke without thinking. I don't remember asking him anything. I only remember that my uncle seemed to know everything and always answered my questions."
Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Chitanda, "It sounds like you and your uncle have a good relationship, but is this request about finding someone? Someone who's missing in Malaysia..."
Chitanda Eru quickly shook her head, "No!"
"I remember when I was in kindergarten, I heard from somewhere that my uncle had been a member of the Shuchiin Classical Literature Club, so I became very interested in my uncle's club."
"I heard a lot about clubs from my uncle. One day, I asked him a question about the Classical Literature Club. Usually, no matter what I ask, my uncle will answer immediately! But this time he was reluctant to answer me."
Chitanda pouted, seemingly expressing all her emotions.
"I threw a tantrum for a long time before my uncle reluctantly told me, and after hearing the answer..."
Amakusa Shinobu and Yukinoshita listened intently. "And then?"
"Then I cried, I cried really hard. I don't remember much about that part, I only remember that my uncle didn't come to comfort me."
"What exactly did my uncle say back then? Why did I cry? That's why I came to Shuchiin Academy and the Classical Literature Department. I wanted to find out what my uncle had said to me back then."
Amakusa Shino looked at Chitanda seriously, "Investigating the reason why you cried back then, huh? That seems interesting!"
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. "Since this is the Classical Literature Club's first request, we assure you that we will definitely find a way to resolve it."
