Chapter 150 150 Hakuto's Background
Compared to the previous two, Honoka and her group's application for a club was more troublesome.
"Honoka-san, can you tell me why you want to apply for an idol club?"
Compared to the previous two, the idol club that the exchange students from Otonokizaka High School wanted to apply for was clearly not as simple as the previous two clubs.
After all, Kirari had money. She had thrown away 200 million without blinking to buy a spot. Money makes things easy, and she had also traded information about a Legendary Cooking Utensil for Hakuto's approval.
As for Erina and the others, needless to say, the status of chefs in this world is higher than that of politicians and wealthy businessmen.
Of course, this refers to Super Chefs. And Erina and the others are either Totsuki Elite Ten or young ladies of great family.
Even Erina's little secretary, Hisako, is the young lady of a medicinal cuisine family.
So naturally, there was no problem with the establishment of the cooking club.
Only the idol club from Otonokizaka High School was a bit complicated.
Hearing Hakuto's question, Honoka answered energetically, "To debut as idols, and thus promote Otonokizaka High School, so that more people will know about it."
Otonokizaka High School wasn't at the point of being closed like in the original work, but it wasn't much better either.
So Honoka thought of becoming an idol, using the idol effect to promote her alma mater.
Hearing Honoka's words, Hakuto paused for a moment, then said, "Logically, I shouldn't stop you. But I still advise you not to casually step into the entertainment industry, especially without capital backing you."
Hakuto's words left Honoka confused.
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. So, if you want to establish an idol club, do you know how to sing and dance?"
Honoka's face reddened. Clearly, she did not.
But Hakuto was not surprised by this.
"If you want to become an idol, you should at least know how to sing and dance. If you can't even do that, how can you become an idol? So, if you want to establish a club, I suggest you learn properly first. Once you've learned, then apply for the club."
Hakuto's meaning was clear: not approved.
Honoka and the other girls' expressions immediately dimmed.
"I suggest you go to the Service Club. Their purpose is to help people solve problems. Maybe you can ask them for help."
The mischievous Hakuto wanted to know what kind of scene Yukino singing and dancing would be.
But given Yukino's abilities, it probably wouldn't be a problem.
He wrote "Not Approved" directly on Honoka's application form and returned it to her and the others.
"Alright, that's it for today. I have other things to do, so I'll go first. Thanks for your hard work today, Takahashi-sensei."
After exchanging pleasantries with Takahashi Yoko, Hakuto left.
…
Returning to the student council, he reported the review results to Kaguya. Then Hakuto told her about Kirari.
"Legendary Cooking Utensils? Understood. I'll mediate with the school. But it shouldn't be a big problem, since Momobami Kirari is only establishing a 'Card Arts Club', not a 'Gambling Club'."
Establishing a Card Arts Club was no problem at all. As long as it wasn't directly called a gambling club, everything could be negotiated.
As long as gambling wasn't promoted on school grounds, the school could turn a blind eye.
"Yeah. Then, Kaguya, I'll go first. Natsuki-chan is looking for me."
On his way here, Hakuto had already received a message from Natsuki.
Natsuki had already returned with the Jade Dragon Pot.
"Okay. Go ahead."
Rushing home, Hakuto saw Natsuki drinking tea.
"Hey, Natsuki-chan, you've turned back into this young girl form."
Natsuki shot Hakuto a sideways glance.
"I brought back the Jade Dragon Pot. But... well, see for yourself."
Natsuki looked at a box on the table. The box presumably contained the Jade Dragon Pot.
Hakuto opened the box and saw a rusted iron pot.
Without any hesitation, Hakuto grabbed the iron pot.
"Roar!!!"
A dragon's roar suddenly rang out, and a golden dragon immediately appeared in mid-air.
However, most of the scales on this golden dragon had become dull.
"Supreme Dragon Mark!"
Seeing this, Natsuki's hand holding her teacup trembled slightly. She looked at Hakuto with a hint of joy.
As Hakuto let go, the Supreme Dragon Mark slowly disappeared.
"It is indeed the Legendary Cooking Utensil, the Jade Dragon Pot."
Hakuto looked at the pot, then turned to Natsuki. "But there's only one? There should be two Jade Dragon Pots."
"There's only one. And guess who owned this pot?"
Hakuto's brow furrowed. He looked at Natsuki.
"This pot belonged to your mother."
Hakuto's fist suddenly clenched, 'So it's that woman's keepsake?'
"Calm down. If you still want to hear more."
Hakuto took a deep breath.
"Natsuki-chan, go ahead. What's going on?"
"This time when I went there, besides getting this pot, I also investigated some things about you and your mother. And I found some interesting things."
"You seem to have some connection to the Great Ming Imperial Family."
Hakuto's pupils contracted.
"The Great Ming Imperial Family?"
Hakuto looked at Natsuki.
"Yes. Several decades ago, there was a princess in the Great Ming who died suddenly of an acute illness the day before her wedding. If nothing unexpected happens, she is your grandmother. According to my investigation, that princess eloped the day before her wedding."
Hakuto said, "That's very melodramatic."
"Yes, it is very melodramatic. But who could help it when her marriage partner was a scumbag and a waste?"
Natsuki's words didn't interest Hakuto much.
"Natsuki-chan, are you saying that this pot was brought out by my grandmother and then given to my mother?"
"Exactly. And that man... he was probably with your mother for your grandmother's keepsake."
Hakuto's killing intent began to uncontrollably emanate from him.
'That man!!!'
