Chapter 43 43 Joining the Service Club, Yotsuya Miko Seeks Help
Standing outside the Service Club, Hakuto knocked on the door. Then, a voice came from inside.
"Please come in."
Hakuto pushed the door open and walked in. Then, he saw a girl sitting by the window. She was sitting on a chair with a book resting on her lap.
[So beautiful. As expected, aside from that airport, my wife Yukino has no flaws whatsoever. But even that airport is perfect in some people's eyes. As for me, I don't care either way. I only like pretty ones.]
Yukino's smile faintly seemed to falter. She looked down. Her hands, placed on either side of the book, couldn't help but grip the book a little tighter.
Fortunately, Yukino immediately realized what was happening and suppressed her displeasure. She asked Hakuto, "May I ask what this is about?"
"Hello, I am Yagami Hakuto, the student council vice president. I have come to the Service Club this time to inform you that, because your club, the Service Club, does not meet the minimum number of members and has never achieved any historical results, the student council president has decided to dissolve your club."
Hakuto coughed lightly and then announced Kaguya's decision regarding the Service Club. He specifically stated that it was Kaguya's decision and had nothing to do with him. Hakuto would not let this matter give Yukino a bad impression of him.
"Then, is there any way to keep the Service Club going?"
"The number of members needs to reach three, and you need to achieve results. The purpose of the Service Club is to help students solve the difficulties they encounter. However, based on the information I have, the Service Club hasn't... to this day."
Yukino bit her lip, unable to refute it.
Indeed, the Service Club had not achieved any results to date. Yukino was also well aware that even if the Service Club were actually dissolved, she would have no reason to stop it.
"Um... I will find a way to solve the member issue. But as for students coming to seek the Service Club's help..."
Yukino was a bit reluctant.
Yukino had established the Service Club with the club activity of extending a helping hand to those in trouble, accepting various requests from students at the school. Once a request was accepted, the responsibility to fulfill it must be carried out.
But it was just extending a helping hand. It was better to teach a person to fish than to give them a fish.
However, the real reason Yukino had established the Service Club was actually that, because of her proud and righteous personality, she was ostracized by others. She both admired and hated her older sister, Haruno.
So, Yukino wanted to change people's nature of being jealous when they were not as good as others.
Simply put, she wanted to prove herself.
"I can join the Service Club as a member. However, I will rarely participate in club activities."
A faint smile appeared on Yukino's lips.
"Are you helping me?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because you are pretty. You can understand it as me being attracted to you."
"Aren't you afraid that Shinomiya Kaguya will retaliate against you for this?"
[Indeed, my wife Kaguya and my wife Yukino have a conflict between them. As soon as I said I would join the Service Club, my wife Yukino asked if I wasn't afraid that my wife Kaguya would retaliate against me for this. There is definitely a conflict between them. I need to find a way to resolve the conflict between my wife Yukino and my wife Kaguya. Otherwise, won't my future harem be in complete chaos? With a daily shuraba?] (T/N: Shuraba usually means a situation where harem members quarrel with each other for their crush.)
"Yukinoshita-san, I don't know what conflict you have with Kaguya, but I can mediate between you. I don't like to fight, I only like to resolve fights."
"This quote comes from Lu Bu in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'."
Hakuto: "Cough, cough, cough. That, that's not important. What's important is that I will do my best to resolve the misunderstanding between you and Kaguya."
Yukino didn't say anything more. She just said to Hakuto, "In that case, I agree. Welcome to the Service Club."
[Hell yeah, I joined the Service Club and successfully got closer to my wife Yukino. Now, I need to find a way to resolve the conflict between my wife Yukino and my wife Kaguya.]
[But what troubles me the most is where to find the remaining member for my wife Yukino's club. Should I maybe bring Himeji in?]
Just then, there was another knock on the Service Club door. Hakuto suddenly felt a creepiness all over.
Almost instinctively, he stood in front of Yukino, looking warily at the door.
Hakuto's heart was even sounding an alarm!
[Damn it. How can there be something dangerous at school? My hair is standing on end. What kind of ghost is outside the Service Club's door?]
Yukino, who had initially wondered why Hakuto had suddenly stood in front of her, saw the diary's content and couldn't help but stiffen.
Then, looking at Hakuto standing in front of her, a flicker of surprise and complexity passed through her eyes.
"Um, may I come in?"
A somewhat timid voice came from outside the door. Hakuto's eyes showed surprise. Then, moving slightly closer to Yukino, he finally spoke.
"Come in."
The door was slid open. Then, a girl with black hair and golden eyes walked in.
"Hello, I am Yotsuya Miko. Is this the Service Club? The Service Club that can fulfill my request?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Hakuto was screaming inside.
[So it's Yotsuya Miko. In the original work, Yotsuya Miko could see Evil Spirits that others couldn't. Once those Evil Spirits were seen and noticed by them, they would directly eat the person who saw them. It's probably similar now.]
[I sense a powerful Evil Spirit from Yotsuya Miko. This Evil Spirit even makes me feel creeped out!]
"This is the Service Club. What is your request?"
Hakuto remained standing in front of Yukino the entire time. After all, in Hakuto's eyes, Yukino was an ordinary girl, while he, at the very least, had his physical attributes strengthened and could react in the face of danger.
