Chapter 191 To Avoid Disbanding the Club, Kagura Hikaru Decides to Debut as an Idol
By the end of this month, the Uka Cultural Festival was slated to begin.
Right after the summer vacation had ended, the Student Council was already in the process of advancing the planning for the festival, controlled then by Kiryu Hina.
However, in the middle of this month, Ayakoji Chiyoko seized the position of Student Council President from her, and naturally took charge of the festival's activities.
Student Council meeting room.
An Executive Committee, composed of the Student Council, Culture Committee, Sports Committee, and Disciplinary Committee—critical student authority departments—gathered again after the last sports meet to discuss matters concerning the cultural festival.
"President, I think there are unreasonable requests in the equipment requisites proposed by the Light Music Club. The speakers they want to rent are too expensive, and we should cut the budget here," proposed the Culture Committee Chairman, raising a hand.
Ayakoji Chiyoko, sitting at the head of the long table, was flipping through files in her hands and said, "Regarding the budget, you can discuss it with Kagura Accountant, as that falls under his jurisdiction."
Kagura Hikaru, sitting next to her, nodded slightly towards him.
"Yes…," the female Culture Committee President mildly lowered her hand with a subtle expression.
If it were up President Kiryu Hina, she definitely would not have answered like that.
The members of the Culture Committee and Sports Committee attending couldn't help but think.
Kiryu Hina was authoritarian; she required that every decision made by the Executive Committee pass through her hands, even verifying each figure in the budget allocations.
Not to mention uttering "This is in the accountant's jurisdiction; talk to him" like that.
For an average person, such meddling would inevitably cause dissatisfaction amongst those around them, but Kiryu Hina was a universal genius in the usual sense, surpassing other Student Council members in calculation, writing, networking, and language skills.

To exaggerate a bit, she alone could actually handle all the Student Council work, and do so very well.
During the year she led the Student Council, the Executive Committee had already been baptized by her talent several times and began to feel it natural for the Student Council President to handle everything alone.
But now Kiryu Hina had stepped down and was replaced by the different Ayakoji Chiyoko.
Truly, where she would lead this session of Yuqiu High School's Cultural Festival was quite worrisome.
After all, Ayakoji Chiyoko's assertiveness was notorious in the school.
No one who dared to oppose her had a good end, not even Kiryu Hina, who lost to her.
The representatives of each committee expressed their opinions cautiously, and Ayakoji Chiyoko responded to each one by one.
She was a typical utilitarian + perfectionist; she would instantly replace the old plan with a better one, even if some were already underway.
And if in some more ambiguous areas, her approach was also unconventional.
For instance, regarding the issue of the decor style inside the school on the day of the Cultural Festival.
Whether to make it similar to Halloween's quirky style or a more conventional pattern, the Executive Committee was split into two sides, with more than half supporting the conventional style.
Logically, this should have been resolved through a vote, decided by the side with the larger number of supporters.
But after pondering for a while, Ayakoji Chiyoko immediately made a decision, "This year we are going with the Halloween style."
The committee members, who had been arguing, all looked at her, waiting to hear how she would convince them.
But after staring at each other for a few seconds, no one spoke.
Ayakoji Chiyoko narrowed her eyes displeased, "Do as I say."
Everyone: "..."
Look, this is where the two Student Council Presidents differ.
Dealing with a decisive tyrant, it's hard to tell if that's a blessing or a curse...
The Executive Committee members looked at each other, tacitly turning to the next topic.
"The Drama Club has applied to use the school auditorium for a play," Ayakoji Chiyoko looked at the project file in her hand, "like previous years, we can give them the auditorium. But, Culture Committee Chairman, explain to me why they also want the Student Council President to appear as well."
A Drama Club program demanding the inclusion of the Student Council President, that isn't just audacity.
Honestly, it's just causing trouble.
The Culture Committee is responsible for managing the school's arts clubs, and she should be well aware of these issues.
"Yes, the head of the Drama Club mentioned to me..."
The female President of the Culture Committee had just begun speaking when her deputy suddenly interjected.
"I apologize, Chairman, but it would be better for me to explain this issue as I am a member of the Drama Club. It's appropriate for me to answer."
An extremely beautiful girl stood up.
She had snow-white skin, jet-black hair tied into a single ponytail, a middle-parted fringe that revealed her forehead, well-defined features, gentle eyes, and slightly smiling lips, looking like a beauty who surpassed time.
Her identity was unmistakable.
The rising star of Uka High School—Kohinata Motoyo.
'Why is she here....?' Ayakoji Chiyoko glanced at Kagura Hikaru beside her, her gaze inquiring.
Kagura Hikaru noticed and slightly shook his head.
He also did not know when Kohinata Motoyo had become one of the representatives of the Culture Committee, nor when she had joined the Drama Club.
But then again, there was no need to inform him about these things.
Ayakoji Chiyoko withdrew her gaze and looked at Kohinata Motoyo, her eyes reflecting a trace of puzzlement, "Alright, Kohinata student, please explain the consideration behind your Drama Club's proposal."
"It's simple, we want to make this year's Drama Club program better than the previous years,"
Kohinata Motoyo sincerely said, "President Ayakoji, not to hide it from you, the Drama Club is currently in a dire situation, we are extremely short on club members, and with the seniors graduating next year, the Drama Club might face the crisis of being disbanded. We plan to use this Cultural Festival to positively promote the fun aspects of drama, for which we need the power of the Student Council President to show more people that the Drama Club exists."
It's just the crisis of disbandment, a mere wave could draw a crowd of fools to join—it's hardly the real reason.
Such a big flaw, Ayakoji Chiyoko had no reason not to see through it.
She eyed Kohinata Motoyo with suspicion, bewildered, then spoke to deny, "Kohinata student, I have a lot of work as the Student Council President, dealing with Drama Club matters..."
"For this reason, not only President Ayakoji, we have also successfully invited Student Council's Kagura Hikaru to join this drama performance," Kohinata Motoyo revealed the other half of her statement.
Ayakoji Chiyoko was momentarily stunned, turning her head to look at Kagura Hikaru beside her.
Kagura Hikaru was also startled.
When had he agreed to act in a play? He had never even heard about it!
He saw Kohinata Motoyo take advantage of the shift in everyone's gaze, quietly winked at him with her right eye, and gave a slight smile.
Could it be that this was related to their discussion from last night about successfully breaking up with Ayakoji Chiyoko smoothly?
