Chapter 115 115 Yukino, You Wouldn't Want the Family Company to Go Bankrupt, Right?
Hakuto used the student council's student roster to send a notification to all his potential club members, asking them to come to the student council after school.
Then, after school, Hakuto brought Yuji, Akihisa, Voyeur, Hideyoshi, and Mizuki to the student council.
"Kaguya, good afternoon."
Kaguya nodded, then glanced at the group behind Hakuto.
"These are the club members you need?"
"Yep. Thought I'd give them a boost."
Yuji looked at Hakuto, confused.
"Hakuto, what's going on here?"
"Yuji, I'm planning to start a game club, and I want all of you to join."
Yuji looked at Hakuto.
"I don't think you'd do something like this for no reason. So tell me, what's really going on?"
"Wait a bit. I'll explain once everyone's here."
Hakuto said, leading the others to sit on the sofa, while he asked Kaguya.
"Kaguya, where did you put the tea?"
Kaguya sighed, then walked over and brought out some black tea and tea sets.
After setting down the tea sets, Kaguya said, "I'll brew the tea."
Yuji looked at Kaguya, then at Hakuto, a hint of shock appearing in his eyes.
The daughter of the Shinomiya Family was actually brewing tea for commoners like them. If he weren't experiencing it personally, Yuji would never have imagined he'd ever get such treatment.
But soon, Yuji looked at Hakuto. An incredible thought appeared in Yuji's mind.
"Could it be..."
Yuji muttered to himself.
Akihisa, hearing Yuji's words, asked in confusion, "Yuji, what couldn't it be?"
"Nothing. Just thinking about the club Hakuto wants to start."
Yuji didn't voice the frightening thought in his mind, but Kaguya glanced at Yuji.
Kaguya had done a detailed investigation of Yuji. He was a genius. Although not as good as her, he was still very smart. He had probably guessed something.
But it didn't matter. Kaguya didn't intend to hide the fact that she liked Hakuto. But as for confessing, Hakuto had to confess to her. Love is war. The one who confesses first loses.
Kaguya glanced almost imperceptibly at Hakuto.
But Hakuto didn't notice. He was busy recording in his diary.
[I'm preparing to start a club. I don't know what the situation is, but if my wife Natsuki told me to pay attention to virtual reality games, I definitely have to take it seriously.]
[I wonder how many will be willing to join the club. My wife Yukino probably won't want to, since in her eyes, a game club is just a waste of time.]
[And my wife Arisu probably won't be interested either. And my wife Asuna. Ah, what a headache. If virtual reality really merges with reality in the future, then my wife Yukino and the others will fall behind everyone else, right?]
[Whatever it takes, I have to get them to join the club. If not, I'll threaten them. Yeah, Yukino, you wouldn't want your family's real estate company to go bankrupt, right? Mwahaha!]
All the diary copy holders had dark lines on their foreheads, 'What kind of cheap, low-rent villain is this?'
'But if virtual reality merges with reality, then we absolutely cannot miss out.'
All the diary copy holders thought to themselves.
[But I don't know when the virtual game will be released. I can't wait. Also, Sword Art Online was withdrawn. So I don't know what the next game will be. And my wife Natsuki likes being a riddler. She won't say clearly what the virtual game is. Could it be that I have to play through them one by one?]
[Also, although I'm okay for now, the anger of those two big shots residing in me hasn't been extinguished yet. The Four Gods Eight Treasures Seafood Bun doesn't have a completion time either. Although I have the recipe, without the aged starter dough, it's difficult. In the past, the difficulty for the Bai Luo Family in making the Four Gods Eight Treasures Seafood Bun was the soul-calming ultimate meaning. But for me, that's the easiest part to solve. My Heart of Cooking is special. I can change it to any type of Heart of Cooking I know. So the soul-calming ultimate meaning is actually the simplest for me. Yet I've been stopped by the simplest step for the Bai Luo Family: the aged starter dough. So helpless.]
Rindou asked Nene curiously, "Nene, what do you think Hakuto's Heart of Cooking is?"
"How would I know?"
Nene was speechless.
Just then, Kaguya placed a cup of black tea in front of Hakuto, interrupting his recording.
"Thank you."
Hakuto thanked her. At that moment, there was a knock on the student council door.
"Come in."
The student council door opened, and a group of people walked in.
"President, is there something you needed us for?"
Shiramine Risa looked at the many people in the room and asked Kaguya.
"I didn't call you here. Someone else did."
Kaguya looked at Hakuto.
Honjou Kaede looked at Hakuto, then exclaimed in surprise, "It's you!"
"Yeah, I guess you've heard my reputation as a simp."
Hakuto said with a self-deprecating laugh.
Risa quickly explained for Kaede.
"No, that's not what Kaede meant. Vice President, please don't misunderstand."
"Don't worry about it. The things I did before make me want to strangle my past self."
Risa had a strained smile on her face.
"The reason I invited you here today is to ask you to join my game club. I want to start a virtual game club. The theme is studying virtual games, but actually, it's just a club for playing virtual games."
Risa's eyes widened. She opened her mouth, then forced a laugh and quietly closed it.
"I know it's hard to believe that I called you here just for this, but I hope you'll hear me out. Then decide whether you want to join the club."
The diary copy holders had naturally known about all this for a long time, but Risa, Kaede, Yuji, and the others did not.
Hakuto suddenly snapped his fingers.
The next moment, a black fog spread instantly from Hakuto's feet, enveloping the entire student council office.
