Chapter 97

"In the cabinet of the Student Council room, that National Language Strategy Book, may I ask whose it is?"

The female disciplinary committee member was a bit confused:

"Why are you asking this?"

Natsume Chikage found an excuse to brush it off:

"You also know that we just established the Collection Club and need to launch related club activities to write a 'Collection Journal'."

"Just now, when I saw that National Language Strategy Book placed in the cabinet in your Student Council room, I felt a bit curious, thinking that such an ordinary book placed there might have some special meaning or something."

"So I thought I would ask you, if there is any special meaning, I think I might be able to write a little story about it in the journal."

The female disciplinary committee member suddenly realized:

"So that's how it is."

"However, I don't think that National Language Strategy Book has any special meaning."

"Because it was just placed there by Accountant Konoe."

Natsume Chikage was stunned:

"Accountant Konoe?"

"Could it be Konoe Hitomi?"

The female disciplinary committee member nodded repeatedly:

"Mm-hmm, that's her!"

While saying this, she leaned closer to Natsume Chikage, and although she was very shy, she couldn't help but carefully warn him:

"Accountant Konoe is President Orito's subordinate, and the two often stay together."

"You also know that Student Council President Orito is not someone to be trifled with, right."

"So if you want to write a Collection Club journal, I think finding something else is better than this."

Natsume Chikage didn't expect that this special equipment belonged to Konoe Hitomi, and for a moment, he felt a bit of a headache.

But regardless, obtaining information was always a good thing.

"Thank you very much for telling me this." Natsume Chikage nodded in thanks.

The female disciplinary committee member was very shy and waved her hands repeatedly:

"It's nothing, just saying a few words."

Natsume Chikage bid farewell:

"Then I'll be going first."

The female disciplinary committee member waved happily:

"Mm-hmm, bye-bye."

After Natsume Chikage left.

The female disciplinary committee member felt secretly pleased, hurried back to the Student Council room, and whispered about this to other female colleagues.

"Silly girl, such a good opportunity, why didn't you ask for his LINE!"

"Exactly, exactly, you could have taken the opportunity to say you were busy now and replied to him on your phone later!"

"Ah—there's such a move?!"

"Hey, you Xiao Chunu..."

Afternoon.

After school.

Natsume Chikage, Yukimura Suzu, Saionji Nanase, and Fujiwara Aoi were cleaning the newly assigned club room.

Fujiwara Aoi looked around, her eyes shining.

"I really didn't expect the teacher to give us such a big club room!"

Saionji Nanase nodded vigorously, her face filled with joy that she couldn't hide.

"Yes!"

She then tilted her head slightly, examining the somewhat empty room.

"But it feels so empty; besides the tables, chairs, sofa, bookshelf, and water dispenser, there's nothing else."

"It would be great if there were more furniture or something..."

Yukimura Suzu was wiping the bookshelf and gave a speechless glance upon hearing this.

"What do you think the club room is? Furniture?"

Saionji Nanase puffed out her cheeks in defiance.

"Look, there's not even a refrigerator or a heater here."

"Without a refrigerator in summer, cold drinks can't be chilled."

"Without a heater in winter, wouldn't we freeze?"

Fujiwara Aoi nodded repeatedly from the side, expressing deep agreement.

"Mm-hmm! If there were a refrigerator and a heater, staying in the club room would definitely be much more comfortable!"

Yukimura Suzu's wiping motion paused slightly.

She seemed to be swayed, but after pondering for a moment, she still shook her head.

"That may be so, but if it's not there, it's not there..."

Saionji Nanase's eyes turned, and she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Then why don't we use the department funding to buy them?"

Yukimura Suzu frowned slightly.

"Is department funding for you to use in such places?"

"When there are formal club activities that need funding, where will you get the money?"

Saionji Nanase was stumped and scratched her cheek embarrassedly.

"That's true..."

Natsume Chikage, who was wiping the sofa on the side, joined the conversation calmly.

"When I went to the Student Council room earlier, I seemed to see a refrigerator inside."

"Perhaps this type of equipment needs to be actively applied for to the school?"

Saionji Nanase had an excellent memory, and after his reminder, she immediately remembered.

"Natsume-kun's right, I remembered it too!"

She clapped her hands excitedly.

"I'll go ask the Student Council later to see if we can apply for these basic pieces of equipment!"

Fujiwara Aoi also became happy.

"The weather has been quite hot lately, if we can apply for them, I'll buy some drinks and ice cream to put inside!"

"It'll be great to eat them then!"

Yukimura Suzu glanced at Natsume Chikage, but didn't continue to object this time.

After all, what Natsume Chikage said was indeed reasonable, and they could try it.

The four of them continued cleaning.

Natsume Chikage seemed to remember something and asked Fujiwara Aoi:

"By the way, Fujiwara-san, you came over to help clean, is everything okay with the Track and Field Club?"

Fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on Fujiwara Aoi's forehead, and her expression became somewhat embarrassed.

"It's, it's fine... I explained it to them... I'll go back to train immediately after cleaning here!"

Saionji Nanase heard this and advised gently:

"Actually, the three of us are enough. Aoi-chan, if you have a lot to do there, it's fine if you go back first."

Yukimura Suzu also knew that Fujiwara Aoi mainly came to help make up the numbers, and was a key member of the Track and Field Club herself.

And the daily training of the Track and Field Club was crucial.

Missing a day of exercise really had an impact on the body.

Even as cold as she was, she rarely took the initiative to speak:

"Fujiwara-san, it's fine. It's just cleaning, the three of us are enough."

"You should go back first, so you don't get scolded by the coach and club members."
