Vol 1 Chapter 3 (2/2)
It was made obvious further by the familiar faces of my teachers, and the labels that described each teacher's faculty and work history
As expected of this school, the work history for each teacher was unbelievably lengthy, considering that they were only high school teachers
”So how is this helping us?”
”You can see the 'hoht below the specialties”
”Uh”
I confirmed her words on my second inspection My home room teacher, for example, had a label that said [Home room: Year 1 Class 7 (Hoed laboratories and art classes of various purposes
”What's this?”
”It's the classes that the teachers own and e”
Yeonji explained
”If there is a student ants to start a club, he needs to first get proper permission from the teacher ns a relevant classroom So, theoretically, people can choose the classroom that they want as their club”
It was a reasonable policy It would be quite perplexing to receive a music theatre in response to a request for a research club room
”'The owner of the classroom has the power to accept or reject such a request If the request is accepted by all parties, the owner has the responsibility to become the supervisor of the club--' is what it says in the rules, here”
”So that's why it's so hard to make a club in this school”
I co the complications that
Because the teachers have the 'power to accept or reject' club roo of requests occur all due to the teachers' whim
In addition, acceptance is ain additional responsibilities and duties for the club, but ould be willing to receive ?
And so that seeest reason why there were only acade Yeonji's comments, it was clearly ially
”Still, none of it matters to us”
Yeonji scoffed like it wasn't a probleitation
”We're not going to subet rejected for anything The only thing I need to figure out is which room would be suitable for our activities Let's see”
Yeonji began shi+fting through the list, like a perverted tyrant picking out a slave to serve for the night She opened another browsingto navigate to the [Index of School Clubs] for the directory of active clubs
Then, after re the occupied teachers from her list of potential candidates--
”Okay, this should be enough”
””
Subtracting the teachers ere already associated with another club (thus re the classroo options were not many
The suh this was a small number in comparison to the total number of classrooms in this school, the actual count of the non-homeroom classrooms was minor
None of the 20 active clubs occupied simple classrooms; all of their locations were more unique, separate rooms, such as science laboratories and tech labs
Ulti options were unpleasant leftovers; normal classrooms were out in the open for 'closeted' activities, and I did not even want to think about using the student guidance department rooms
”Psh, those greedy bastards”
Yeonji reed with her
It was objectionable how the unarguably socially acceptable clubs like the 'lish club' felt the need to hide in some art rooms at the corners of the school Are there any questionable activities that are relevant to e that they need to hide?
”At least the fifteenth classrooe of the school”
”No It's right next to the main staircase”
My final suggestion was immediately shot down
”And using a classroo We can't always have it available to us I wonder if we can find a room that I can make it fit our needs”
Yeonji repeatedly scrolled up and down the list of teachers To e to ask her what kind of terrible modifications she had in store
”Okay”
Afterinto thevoice
”Let's aim for the principal's office”
”The principal's office?!”
What utter nonsense!
”How are we, I mean, why the principal's office in the first place?!”
”The location is a”
Yeonji replied without batting an eye
”It's quiet, and it's discreet If we e to take over the principal's office, we can sit on that leather couch every evening and watch some anime on that 82-inch TV”
”That just sounds way too heavenly! And you talk like you've been there before!”
”I had an interview in there as standard procedure after receiving a scholarshi+p I pretended to be grateful while I silently calculated hoill take over the room someday Kukuku”
She described her diabolic scherin
Mister Principal, I think you may have accidentally summoned a demon at you school
I guess you're a scholarshi+p student too, huh
In the midst of my confusion caused by multiple layers of questions to ask, our next course of action seemed to be set in stone as a hostile takeover attempt for the principal's office
I interrupted her appropriately as she appeared ready to invade the principal's office at any moment
”But hey, how are you going to take over the principal's office? Do you have some sort of a plan?”
To use the principal's office as a club room, more so as the Clotaku Club room, there had better be the most intricate, flawless plan ever
Yeonji went 'ahem' in response and posed in preparation of her answer Your Otaku meter is off the charts, here!
”Heh heh it's simple! Take a look at this!”
Beneath Yeonji's extended finger on the monitor was the photo of our dear principal
Further below her finger was the wall of text that further de Corporations and this school, but nonetheless this was not too different froe principals
”So what about it?”
”You can see it right away, see this, here!”
Yeonji continued relentlessly jabbing against the principal's face, who had thick spectacles pushed up by his puffy cheeks, and rinkles on top of his stern expression Then she animatedly shouted,
”He totally looks like an Otaku!”
Cough
If there were anything in un blast in all cardinal directions
After I repeatedly coughed to replace the air that escaped ed to ask a question with a stutter
”You you are you really”
”Yep Let's blackmail the principal”
Yeonji replied as lightly as dandelion seeds in the wind This is the face of true evil, I thought to myself
”Tsk Our principal was that kind of a ; I simply can't believe this! Yes? Oh my, don't think you can lie your way out of this; I have the evidence right here, right in here Ah, hey, hey, it's no use doing that, I already have copies backed up elsewhere Yes? What are our deht Here, let me tell you”
”Stop preparing threats against the principal----!!”
I sighed and stopped Yeonji with her extortion atteinary principal
I had no clue how I'd start convincing her to reconsider her plan
”Uically; the principal can't possibly be an Otaku”
”There's no reason he wouldn't be one!”
Yeonji was yet unfaltering
”These unfashi+onable glasses, his fat cheeks, and even the pimples on his face! It's the Holy Trinity of loser's qualities! His face is like looking at a portrait of an Otaku, seriously!”
”I'm pretty sure those are just chickenpox scars, not pimples”
”Chickenpox?!”
Yeonji unexpectedly revealed her honest surprise
”Does that still exist nowadays? Wasn't it eliminated by the '70s? Chickenpox may have been the deadliest curse for kids back then, but now it's the illegal, lewd videos that are”
”Our principal was one of those 'kids from back then'!”
I sighed once more
”Even if he were an Otaku, how are we going to prove it? You can't even see what's going on in the principal's office from the outside”
”Nyuu-t”
Yeonji becae and continued
”Also, even if we soet evidence, the principal would likely report us to the police and expel us rather than allow some questionable activities in the principal's office If you consider his reputation, even if we scream 'The principal is an Otaku!', no one will believe us Don't think this will be the same situation as mine”
”Nng-”
Yeonji pouted and whined in annoyance She looked as if, oh, her brain was convinced, but her heart was unfazed So like that
”Tsk, alright Then we just have to pick another teacher who's easier in coht?”
”Ah, uh yeah”
It appeared that my lecture was understood as 'Let's pick on so the mouse wheel up and down and muttered to herself 'Let's see who looks like an Otaku~'
I asked,
”By the way It occurred toteachers who are Otakus?”
”Eh?”
Yeonji paused her scrolling and looked my way She had a curious expression
”I et our club rooo after Otakus We could find other kinds of weaknesses, I think”
While I had little idea of the details behind Yeonji's plans, the gist of it seemed to be 'Find a teacher who is an Otaku, then tell him to hand over the club room or we'd reveal his secrets to everyone' In other words, she was going to repeat as done to me to a teacher
However, it's not like being an Otaku is soine that anyone, especially a teacher, would succumb to a threat like ours As mentioned before, we could be sued back
With Yeonji's steadfastness, she could comfortably uncover other vulnerabilities like, uh, she could capture a photo of so a love hotel with a scantily dressed woeonhole her strategy
”Hmph”
Hearing runted in dissent
”Of course, that could be far more beneficial for us I already examined that course of plan”
Yeonji replied as the grand how serious she was
As I involuntarily trembled, Yeonji cleared her throat and continued
”But, if we gain a club rooer that way, hoill that help us?”
”?”
Yeonji slowly spun in place inchair, her chin supported by her hand, her elbow balanced on the armrest
”The club we areis the Clotaku Club Even if it's er, it's essential that everyone is on the sa the third member”
Yeonji announced withobjective, but because ere pressed to find any club rooer at all, her plan was unrealistic
I scanned her words for a point to place a rebuttal, but Yeonji spoke first
”And the quality of 'being an Otaku' is a strong social stigma There are Otakus ould rather die than be found out by their peers It only er is a closeted Otaku”
Hey, that reasoning is slightly off from what you just said before
”For now, let's just find a teacher who looks like an Otaku! And if we find our target, prepare to work day and night on finding evidence”
”Day and night”
It's going to get busy--
I irl scrolling up and down the list of teachers like choosing a heroine to conquer in a visual novel
”But, if there really aren't any Otakus, I'll have to blackmail about love affairs and whatnot”
”Don't do that--!”
”There's a saying that tigers look for lobsters if they have no other prey”
”Don't plan about finding lobsters before you even start hunting--!”
Hopefully, I won't end up on a photography tour in a red light district
