Chapter 327 – Episode 37. Teacher, Please Become a Club Advisor!
Before leaving work, I picked up the document containing the student’s special information that had been thrown on the desk earlier. I decided to go home and check right away. If you go home without it, there’s a chance you’ll forget it and not look at it, so take it with you and check.
When I got home, I took the special documents and the thick documents investigated by the Tyra Group information team and sat down.
First, we should check the two suspended members, right? See… Here it is.
Shido Tsubaki (紫藤 椿喜), head of the newspaper department, was the daughter of Shido Shimbun, one of the top four newspaper companies in Japan, and was active in the newspaper department as expected of a newspaper company daughter.
It is said that he was suspended from school due to unreasonable reporting, but what the unreasonable reporting was not mentioned in the specific details.
Curious about what the report was about, I decided to check the student list investigated by the Tyra Group information team.
I found Tsubaki Shido in the 3rd year student list and started reading. Shido family’s woman’s meal, the manager of the newspaper department… There was what I had just read, and underneath it was what I was looking for.
Shigemichi Nomata, who was the homeroom teacher of the special class, filmed the sexual assault scene of Seiwa Rieko, a student in the same special class, and published the photo in the Shinshinbu’s weekly newspaper…
Sure, there might not be a problem if it was just an article, but it was too much to include a photo in the article. As a result, the victims, Sei and Rieko, dropped out of school.
Not only in this article, but while conducting an investigation into the status of hikikomori at St. Francis Girls’ Academy, it was stated that a person was caught forcibly breaking into someone’s house and was therefore suspended. It is said that this hikikomori investigation was not reported in the news.
In short, she is just a big girl who can’t do anything if there is something to be said about her. When this guy’s suspension is lifted, he’ll come to our class. I have to be careful, so I don’t end up in the news, right? Or maybe I should just make it my own.
The next problem child was Kina Kujo (九条 紀名), this time for violence, a common reason for suspension. It was a violent incident that occurred at The Fist, a martial arts club different from Cheongsimgwan, and as many as 30 people were seriously injured.
Since there were as many as 30 victims, the possibility of expulsion was high, but all victims testified that it was a fair confrontation, so the suspension was confirmed.
If the testimony is true, did you win the martial arts club 1 to 30? Isn’t it great? At this level, he seemed to be a very capable person. I’ll have to check this too with the glasses at the historic site.
One person who was not suspended but was absent after being notified in advance… ? Her name was Urabe Konoka (卜部小乃香), and she was said to be the adoptive daughter of the Urabe family, a family of priests. Looking at her previous name written in the information of the Taira Group Intelligence Team, she was Konoka Hamahata (浜畑小乃香).
Hamahata Konokara, I think I heard that name somewhere… There was no previous information in the Tyra Group information team’s information. I thought I would remember if I thought about it a little more.
Ah! It was the girl from that inn on Chooten Island! I remember that she first became an apprentice shaman at the shrine where she met the Daughter of the Abyss, but she came as the adoptive daughter of a priestly family.
Since he probably knows my identity, I need to interview him before he opens his mouth.
They’re all troublemakers. The only thing left is not a suspension, but a hikikomori who does not go to school without prior notice.
Let’s see more about hikikomori next time. Now I have to contact Mask Delivery and call 〈UZ〉 to play. Tomorrow I have to go to the Amsang branch with Saionji Diana, so I have to drain the water in advance.

“This is Egawa Alexandra, a third-year-high school student who has newly joined our club. Alrik, please introduce yourself.”
Airen Shimokawabe held Alrik’s shoulder and introduced him to the members of the Cheongshimgwan club. Alrik nodded his head slightly and opened his mouth.
“Call me Alrik.”
At the appearance of a new recruit, all members of the Cheongsimgwan looked at Alric with sparkling eyes. One person looking at Alrik raises his hand and asks a question.
“What school of martial arts are you learning?”
“To be precise, Alric is not familiar with Japanese classical martial arts. He can be said to be a martial artist of his own kind.”
Airen Shimokawabe answered questions from members on behalf of Alrik. The members of the Cheongsimgwan each looked at Alric with question marks. Everyone was thinking, “If I didn’t learn Goryu martial arts in the first place, why did I join the club?”
“Alic is also interested in ancient martial arts, so I joined to teach him the basics, so don’t reject him too much.”
“Yes! Director!”
Since the club’s name was Cheongshimgwan, everyone called Airen Shimokawabe “Director.” But there was some heat in everyone’s eyes.
When a new member came in, Cheongsimgwan’s member wanted to know the strength of that member. From middle school members who were still young to high school seniors who were the same age as Alric, they seemed to want to spar with Alric.
“Akemi (焼海). Do you want to spar?”
“Yes, please give me a chance!”
When Airen Shimokawa asked Akemi, the head of the first-year-high school club, Akemi stood from her seat and answered. Among first-year high school students, she was a girl with quite outstanding skills and a bright future ahead of her as a manager.
So Alric and Akemi decided to spar and faced each other with bamboo swords.
“This is Akemi Shimao, the first-year-high school vice president. The school is Geukcheon Samhyeong (極天三形流).”
“Alrik, I learned many things.”
The two introduced each other and pointed their swords. At one point, when Shimao Akemi felt a flash of electricity shining in Alrik’s eyes, she saw Alrik running towards her. It was an incredible speed.
Seeing this, Shimokawa Beairen observed Alrik’s appearance closely with her eyes shining.
Tak!
In the blink of an eye, Alric’s bamboo sword hits his head. Akemi Shimao was dazed. So fast…! Soon she realized that she was defeated, and she bowed her head towards Alric.
“… I learned a lot.”
“Yes, thank you.”
As Alik also greeted him, the second-graders stood up from their seats.
“Please let us spar too!”
“Me too!”
On this day, Alic sparred with a total of 12 second-graders and won all of them. Shimokawa Beiren’s eyes lit up when she saw Alrik’s skills her.
“I will spar with the third-grader the day after tomorrow.”
The third-graders looked disappointed at Shimokawabe Airen’s words, but quickly agreed because they thought it would be better to take a day off and face a lively Alic than to face Alic who was exhausted after sparring for over ten matches.
“Now, today’s club activity is…”
After the sparring, Cheongshimgwan club activities began with the words of Airen Shimokawabe. Alrik separately began receiving basic instruction from Airen Shimokawabe.

Tuesday morning. Akina Konoe and Yuka Otagi gathered an hour early to put up a poster for the dating experience section on the school bulletin board.
“How about a poster?”
“You’re putting this on the school bulletin board?”
Yuka Otagi asked Akina Konoe’s question, looking a little embarrassed and angry. Yesterday after school, Akina Konoe dressed herself in her suit and took various pictures.
As a result, the poster said that Yuka Otagi, who looks good even to herself, would not date her in her speech bubble… ? It said, and it said “Dating Experience Club Recruitment!” Written below.
“No, I guess I’m the main character in this… ! It’s not a movie poster promoting a top actor…”
“Yeah, the showdown is until tomorrow, so I don’t have time to make anything new.”
Akina Konoe smiled and put up a poster on the school bulletin board, despite Yuka Otagi’s complaints.
The school bulletin board was next to the main entrance, on the first floor of each grade building, and even in the teacher’s office. So, there were quite a few posters held by Akina Konoe.
“But did you get permission from the student council?”
“Of course. Yesterday, when you were going around asking other kids, I went to the student council with the poster I made yesterday to get permission for the club.
There was definitely a student council approval stamp stuck in the corner. The two went around recruiting club members every break.
After taking pictures after school, Yuka Otagi went to franchise cafés around the school to recruit club members, and Akina Konoe returned to school with the poster she had created and received permission from the student council.
“But it’s not in the café?”
“Yes, they said they all have clubs…” . “There are only a few people in my class who are not in a club.”
After school, Yuka Otagi thought that if there were students in the café who were not participating in club activities, there might not be a club, so she tried to recruit students, but her prediction completely failed.
Most of them had joined clubs. Since most of the students were just playing with their names listed, they were not needed for club recruitment.
“Still, I’m glad we succeeded in recruiting one person.”
“Yes, Naruse-san willingly agreed to join, so we were able to add one more person.”
With the sickly Shiyo Naruse joining, the total number of people was now three. Rena Sakagami, who always wears a mask, disappeared during recess, and Diana Saionji, the girl in her wheelchair, was lying down during recess, so it was difficult to talk to her.
The other students were Risa Minamoto and Seizawashi, who competed with them, and the rest were students who did not come to school often.
“Let’s definitely talk to Miss Sakagami and Miss Saionji today.”
“Huh! You must sign up. “If we just get those two people to sign up, won’t we win?”
The two stood up and hung up a poster at the front gate of the school while having a leisurely conversation. Now it was time to divide things up and go put up posters on each grade’s bulletin board.
“Still, it’s a bit difficult to take the middle school level, so I’ll just have to stick to the high school level.”
“Yeah, it’s still a long way to go for a middle school student to be a dating club, am!”
Perhaps because they are both daughters of famous families, they had a somewhat old-fashioned mindset that middle school students should not date.
“I will put it on the 1st and 2nd grade bulletin boards, so Yuka, please put it on the 3rd grade bulletin board in the school office.”
“Huh. Let’s put them all on and meet in the classroom.”
Akina Konoe and Yuka Otagi exchanged posters on friendly terms and parted ways.
