Vol 1 Chapter 5 (2/2)
”Those Otakus were all Clotakus before then Until the election was over and the first parlia took place, no one could have known that they were Otakus”
”What are they, some sort of Trojan virus?!”
”If they just act like an average politician and get elected Then we'll have an Otaku country, ran by Otakus, for Otakus!”
” The way that the politicians are forgetting the people who voted for theht now”
”Doujinshi+ Reading Act passed in the parlia, each household will receive a translated doujin along with the newspaper The citizens would be utterly shocked”
”Don't do anything that'll make the citizens utterly shocked-!”
The worst part was that the citizens would be inal work!
”So, once we pass legislation like Television Anime Broadcast Time Standardization or National Otacare Law, South Korea's Otaku power level would pierce the heavens Like Ota-Lagann!”
”The value of Yen would end up piercing the heavens”
We'd prettycountry
”Heh Everything I had said so far is only a srand scheme I'll tell you the rest of it e have time I'llparty”
””
As it turned out, the founder of the Otaku party was going to be the girl in front of lie ambition
She puffed up and pompously concluded, ”Thusly, the Clotaku Club's secondI just said”
”It's just a 'thing you said' to you”
It was difficult to iine what her entire scheme could be like
”So-! In summary, first we promote Clotaku lifestyle, so that the society has a more relaxed attitude towards Otakus At the same time, we improve our position in the society and become the upper class Then, we use our influence to pollute the entire nation”
She said 'pollute' She actually said 'pollute'! At least Yeonji recognized that she was on the good guys' side
”Okay, even if I accept that you'refor a small school club?”
”Hh to succeed! You can't survive this world with a pansy attitude like that!”
Yeonji's vision of our society seemed to be a place where sanity is mercilessly unappreciated
”And I' to do everything in three years”
”Well, yeah, even if three years pass, you don't have the rights to get elected into the parliament”
”I-I knew thather eyebrows, ”I'll spend my three years in this school to test out my plans in smaller scale! If you think about what's special about this school, you should be able to see how our club activities here can becoood foundation for my plan”
”So special about this school?”
”It's the Eunsung high school What else do I need to say?” Yeonji asserted, ”South Korea's most powerful school for elites! It's a place where the country's brightest people are gathered At least half the people fronificant power in this nation I'll guarantee you that”
”Yeah, I guess”
All of the students here were recognized as geniuses, and they will graduate with the backing of Eunsung's nae Joe, for sure; the fundamental principle of this school was to raise the elites of our society
”So, I' to exercise the philosophy behind this school's existence Before I graduate, I'll raduates from here is an Otaku, before anyone even finds out”
”What are you saying?!”
If the school's administration were to hear of this, Yeonji would be kicked out of here before anyone even finds out
”Really, this is a serious strategy As we seed in the Otaku roundwork for electing an Otaku ruler In other words, it's an Otaku lobbying scheme”
Yeonji sounded like a spy trying to spread Cohout South Korea Her eyes beamed as if to outwardly express her desire for revolution; it was almost scary
I wondered if the school had any idea that they had accepted a revolutionist this year I started getting worried
”Wait You didn't co just for that reason, have you?”
”I-I don't know”
Yeonji replied, turning around to face away from me Why can't you say 'no'?
”W-well, anyway,” said Yeonji, under s to accouide you in the right direction, so you just have to believeto ask? I said everything I needed to”
And she totally forgot that she was going to do a speech about theShe was probably feeling too lazy to say the rest of it
After a while, I raisedto ask”
”Alright, what is it~?” said Yeonji, like a teacher as happy to hear a question from a student
”You keep saying 'Clotaku', 'Clotaku' So, are we seriously sticking with that name? It's a bit”
It sounds terrible
Before that, the entire nature of the club is outright explained in the name itself If it's a club for closeted Otakus, shouldn't it at least try to hide everything in the name? We could call it a ' similar
”But we're the only ones who'd know about it!” replied Yeonji, in a frustrated tone, ”The name of the club isn't important; it's e do that's iistered, so who cares if we call this 'Hentai research club' or 'adult video fil club' or whatever?”
Such a terrifyingly inappropriate remark did not fit her cute face
”Even if we're the only ones saying it, isn't it the feel that's important? I think we can have a better name than 'Clotaku Club'”
Only someone like Yeonji could be fine with 'our Clotaku Club' A guy like me simply won't be okay with a title like 'Clotaku Club' defining who he is
”Sheesh, you're so persistent!” Yeonji pouted and exclaimed, ”Fine, if you really want to, let's think up a better naade?”
”What does it stand for?”
”Seo Yeonji's Otaku Sentiade”
”That's a terrifying name!”
It was terrifying in many different ways And the name is a direct rip-off!
”It's not a rip-off! It's a parody!”
”Is that so Anyway, forget that naht troubles”
”Psh Then how's the Otaku Neighbors Club? Established because we can't find Otakus around, we gather people ant to make Otaku friends”
”Why do you have to pick only the major titles to rip off?!”
To start with, did she really have to refer to fictional works just to think up a club nahed
Yeonji retorted in an annoyed voice ”Hmph, I told you, the name of the club isn't too important If you really want a different name, come up with it later For noe'll just call it 'Clotaku Club' as a teive it a nan positions in the club to the members”
”Do we even have proper positions to speak of in this club?”
”We have positions right now I'm the leader, the nurse is the supervisor, and you're a member Done” replied Yeonji, almost immediately
”That's stupid!”
Is it just me, or am I the only unimportant person in here?
Yeonji narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms ”Once we have roup into aniht novel club, and I will becoistered this club and ould have risen to the top You got that?”
Yep Basically, we're stuck with 'Clotaku Club' forever Realizing this, I shuther
Happy with the progression thus far, Yeonji giggled and declared, ”Alright, then we're done with that topic And so our inauguration ball ended in success! Yaay-!”
”Yay”
Yeonji ended theselfishly, much like how she started it Soress It was too silly to call it aat all, but at least I found out the basics of Yeonji's plan
In suirl
Though I never expected that the big party after the an, ”Hey is it over now? You can get soe over there, if you want”
”Pardon me?”
”We're celebrating the success of the inaugural ball,” the nurse s on her hand, ”I only have cup noodles to eat, but I can at least serve drinks, right? Get me coffee, while you're at it”
”Hmm? Ah, oh, uh, sure”
I walked over to the fridge in the corner of the rooht I saw a bunch of blood packs in there, but I ignored it It's the infiruess that's normal?
Yeonji grabbed the can of Sikhye without a moment's hesitation, and the nurse took the can of coffee I returned to the couch and opened a can of cola
”Thanks for the drinks, Miss Yu”
I took a sip from the can Yeonji was already done with her drink, and she was struggling to get the last bits of the rice within the can She's too childlike, sometimes
I continued sipping ers these days Yeonji was now hunting for the rice by shoving her finger inside the can The nurse was drinking her coffee as she played so (probably a visual novel) on the computer
The room was quiet for a while, other than the occasional sound of runts from Yeonji
”By the way,” I began, no longer able to withstand the silence, ”What do we exactly do from now on? The club activities, I mean”
”Nyuu-n?” Yeonji stopped fiddling with the can and faced me ”What do you mean?”
”Well, we have a club roouration or whatever, so shouldn't we start the club activities now? But what do we do?”
”Just do whatever you do as an Otaku” Yeonji replied confidently, ”The first mission of Clotaku Club is to be Otakus! I said that five o, you idiot Do whatever you want As long as you're in here, have the time of your life End of story”
”Is that it?”
Even if you say 'time of your life'
I had no clue where I should start I pulled out the PXP froaht novel
We continued this trend for the rest of the day, until we had to go back home
It wasn't all that exciting
