Chapter 66 It's Time to Have a Little Miss
Shiraishi Saku doesn't trust others very much. If something is important to him, he must do it himself, take control and have the power to speak, rather than begging others to cooperate.
Therefore, the drama club, which had just been disbanded, was a good fit. Putting aside whether other clubs were suitable or not, it would be difficult for him and Yukimiya Natsune to gain direct power.
Like South Korea, Japan is a country where seniority culture is prevalent. As first-year students, Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune find it difficult to make their mark in their current clubs due to too many constraints and too many problems left over from previous generations.
By rebuilding the drama club, he and she could control everything from beginning to end, and all they needed to do was support a puppet department head. Besides, they could use Yamashita Asami at will.
Shortly after school, Asami Yamashita sent a LINE message detailing the story of the drama club.
The immediate cause of the drama club's disbandment was a performance accident.
A year ago at the cultural festival, the drama club's stage play went wrong in every way, from the performance to the backstage to the props, causing chaos on set and becoming a well-known joke.
Afterwards, members left the club one after another, and the atmosphere within the club became increasingly oppressive. In order to prevent conflict, the school, after talking with the club president and advisor, directly disbanded the drama club.
The chronic problem that led to the failure of the stage play was the ideological struggle between two major groups within the club. These two groups were unnamed, but Shiraishi Saku named them the "lying flat faction" and the "involution faction."
The "lying flat" faction just wants to enjoy club life, while the "involution" faction pursues better stage performances. The "involution" faction thinks the "lying flat" faction is too lazy and drags their team down, while the "lying flat" faction thinks the "involution" faction is too controlling, taking up all the club's resources and pointing fingers at them.
The covert rivalry between the two sides ultimately led to the demise of the drama club.
It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong. After all, the drama club is just a high school club. There's nothing wrong with pursuing a relaxed and happy club life, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to perform plays seriously and diligently.
Shiraishi Saku wasn't going to make any judgments; she just wanted to know who she could recruit and use. She asked Yamashita Asami to find a list of club members, conduct background checks, and write a report for her.
When the subway arrived at the station, Yukimiya Natsune put away her phone and headed towards the coffee shop.
……
While Yamashita Asami was reporting to him and her, Suzuki Yoko, the homeroom teacher of Class D in the first year, also submitted the young lady's love report to the principal.
The principal was shocked and hurriedly reported it to Asakura Chihaya.
In the coffee shop, the maid recounted the school's report to her mistress.
Tsukimiya Aoi crossed her arms: "Tsk, I can't believe I'm only realizing this now. This school really is full of useless people!"
Chihaya Asakura pretended not to hear the lady's slander and asked how to respond to the school.
Tsukimiya Aoi placed her hands on the coffee table, raised her head, and said, "Is that even a question? Let the school give that bastard a severe scolding, give him a demerit, make him repeat a year, and do everything in its power to create obstacles for him and Natsune, make them break up, and let Natsune come back home to live with me!"
The noblewoman grew increasingly excited as she spoke: "I'll make him understand the insurmountable gap between him and Xia Yin, make him feel inferior and helpless, and then I'll seize the opportunity, giving him small favors, encouraging him, praising him, making him grateful to me, and from then on, he'll follow my lead, becoming my loyal servant. I'll use his sense of morality to restrain his love for Xia Yin, so even if Xia Yin takes the initiative to approach him, he'll only back down out of consideration for my kindness!"
Asakura Chihaya silently noted down the lady's fantasy, then turned around and said, "I understand. I'll talk to the school now."
"Come back here! Do you want to ruin our family?!" Tsukimiya Aoi grabbed the maid's skirt.
She was just fantasizing; if she actually did it, she couldn't imagine how much her adopted daughter would hate her. At least not now, and it couldn't be that obvious.
Chihaya Asakura returned behind her and sighed inwardly.
This lady has always been prone to daydreaming.
"How should I give instructions to the school?" the maid asked again.
Tsukimiya Aoi thought for a moment, then tapped her fingers on the table: "Tell that principal to treat them the same way he treated other couples before."
"That would still leave the school unsure of its stance," Chihaya Asakura suggested. "How about we just tell them not to worry about it?"
"Huh? Wouldn't that be helping that bastard?" Tsukimiya Aoi refused. "I won't approve of him and Natsune!"
"Doesn't Madam want to hold the little lady soon?" Asakura Chihaya whispered in Tsukimiya Aoi's ear, "The name Madam prepared for the future little lady can be used directly for Young Master Saku and Miss's child."
"Child..." Tsukimiya Aoi murmured in a daze. She had already chosen a name for Ruri's daughter when Ruri was born.
"After graduation, you can let Young Master Saku and Miss have the baby first, and then go to university. They will be too busy with their studies to take care of the baby. The baby will then be yours, Madam," Asakura Chihaya continued to whisper.
"be mine……"
"If we don't act now, by the time Young Master Shuo and Miss Shuo graduate from university and have free time, Madam will have no chance."
"It seems so..."
"So now we should indulge Young Master Shuo and Miss Shuo. What do you think, Madam? I'll go and give a reply to the school now."
"Okay...no, then Xia Yin would be his!"
At the last moment, Tsukimiya Aoi realized what was happening and broke free from the maid's mental manipulation.
Asakura Chihaya clicked her tongue inwardly.
This lady is too stubborn. It's clearly a win-win-win situation. The lady can gain the young lady she raised, the young master and the young lady can finally get married, and Airi can give up on him sooner. Isn't that great?
This is also a good thing for the Tsukimiya family. Although the madam and the old lady both like Miss Yukimiya very much, Miss Yukimiya does not have the blood of the Tsukimiya family, and the relationship of being adopted when she was close to adulthood is not strong enough.
At this point, as long as there is a young lady raised by a lady, everything will fall into place naturally.
Unfortunately, the lady disagreed.
"Reply to the school as I instructed before." Tsukimiya Aoi glanced at the maid.
"Yes." Asakura Chihaya could only reply according to her wishes.
She recalled the words of the lady when she rejected her suggestion. The lady wanted to keep the young lady by her side and did not want her to leave her too soon.
What a mother who is so dependent on her daughter.
"Sizzle—"
A vibration sound came from inside Asakura Chihaya's apron. She took out her phone, glanced at the message, and told Tsukimiya Aoi, "Miss is almost here."
Tsukimiya Aoi stood up happily, then sat down again, pretending not to care, glancing at the shop door out of the corner of her eye.
The sound of bells rang out, and a golden figure came into the edge of her vision, but this golden figure... seemed much shorter?
Tsukimiya Aoi turned her head and looked at the girl in the wheelchair in astonishment.
Saku Shiraishi and Airi Asakura carried the wheelchair over the steps and placed the girl back on the floor.
Yukimiya Natsune maneuvered her wheelchair toward the dining table.
A figure suddenly lunged forward, and if Yukimiya Natsune hadn't braked in time, the wheelchair would have crashed into the other person.
Tsukimiya Aoi knelt before the wheelchair, her trembling hands grasping her adopted daughter's, and asked in a trembling voice, "What happened? What's going on?"
Before Yukimiya Natsune could answer, she suddenly stood up and grabbed Shiraishi Saku by the collar: "What did you do to Natsune?!"
Shiraishi Saku didn't say anything, but pointed behind her.
Tsukimiya Aoi turned her head and met the gaze of the girl standing behind the counter.
The girl, who was standing perfectly fine, tilted her head.
