Eiji's actions certainly could not escape the eyes of the two girls.
Hachiman looked at the boy as if he was crazy for daring to watch from such a close distance. And where did you get that box of yogurt? Suddenly, I'm a little thirsty but I don't dare walk out of the club room.
The service club was basically in a pretty tense atmosphere.
Yukino and Cosmos decided to ignore Eiji and continue their confrontation.
"First, you should correct your words that mentioned that this club is a wild club, Akino-san." Yukino said coldly.
She didn't like her club being called a wild club. It felt like someone was mocking her family members.
"Oh isn't that right? This club's location is in a secluded place in the club building and what you three were doing when we entered doesn't reflect the club's activities. Service Club, right? I suspect this club was founded without the consent of the teacher."
"In short, it's an unauthorized and illegal club. I don't think it's wrong to call it a wild club, right Eiji-kun?"
Cosmos who had said logically and reasonably suddenly asked Eiji in this situation.
Yukino was still calm when she heard what Cosmos said but now she glanced at Eiji curiously.
Was the boy going to stand up for his fiancée or the wild girl he knew a few hours ago?
If he chose the latter...
Yukino's smile looked beautiful but everyone except Cosmos in the room found it frightening.
Eiji also saw Yukino's smile, he pretended to cough and looked at Cosmos with a reprimanding gaze. "Cosmos, don't ask me. As your proctor in the exam that the student council president gave you, I have to be neutral in this situation."
[You hear that, Yukino? My dear fiancé, I'm not even taking Cosmos' side in this. I'm not taking your side either but I believe with your abilities, you can defeat Cosmos and protect the service club!]
Miss System and Leme couldn't help but be amazed by their host's ability to handle this situation.
He didn't choose between the two but behind Cosmos' back, he still gave his trust to Yukino since she was his fiancée.
However, since Cosmos could not yet hear his inner voice. This did not make anyone on either side feel sad or angry.
Yukino's smile even became natural and lost its evil spirit. She was satisfied with what her fiancé said in his heart. It means he still knows how to choose, he is not like those bastards out there who would choose new shoes over used ones.
Maybe after this I should spoil him a bit.
[Ding! Congratulations host, you have earned the title "Bastard King". By wearing this title, you increase charm by 100%, manipulative by 99% and manipulative again by 1%.]
Thank you, Miss System, thank you.
Should I say that?
This woman was foul-mouthed as usual. And what she said was obviously in jest and just to mock him. She has no such thing at all! Do you think you are the System Gamer?
Eiji complained in his heart but on the surface he looked serious and did his duty as a proctor while occasionally drinking yogurt.
He may be a bastard but he's a good bastard, okay? Although there wasn't much difference between the two.
"Ah... I-I understand, Eiji-kun."
Cosmos was a little disappointed but what Eiji said made sense so her enthusiasm did not wane.
She looked back at Yukino with a gaze filled with justice as if the girl was the villain.
"Yukinoshita-san, continue. Give me your words of defense in this matter."
Yukino's lips twitched but she was also eager to defeat the girl who dared to make trouble with her. As the senior in relation to Eiji, she had to teach her junior a lesson and tell her her place.
Teach her that a junior should respect a senior!
"I'll just tell you the facts. If you're asking about the permission for this club, Akino-san. I already got it from Shizuka-sensei!"
"Shizuka-sensei? How could she be so careless to let a club like this exist in school?"
Cosmos was confused.
Yukino was getting angry. Why did she feel that the girl in front of her was so prejudiced against her club?
She didn't know but it was actually because Cosmos misunderstood the order from Sona and thought the bespectacled girl wanted her to disband the service club instead of doing a simple inspection. Of course, Sona's hidden purpose was to make Cosmos and Eiji's relationship even closer.
It wasn't a club inspection in the first place because there was no way Sona would want to disband Yukino's club. After all, the two had a pretty good relationship after sharing the same man.
This was actually Sona's wingman operation!
Eiji couldn't help but smile as it was fun to see two heroines fighting each other for his sake.
[Um host, I'm sure they're not fighting over you. Looks like you misremembered.]
Hm... Miss System, shut up.
[.....]
Her host didn't know what to answer so he could only tell her to be quiet.
"Things like that you can ask Shizuka-sensei directly. I'm not worried because I'm not lying." Yukino smiled faintly and slightly lifted her chest which was no longer flat like in the past.
She could now compete with Cosmos who had a well-developed body from the start.
Thanks to the Master-Servant contract and Eiji who certainly helped nourish her from within.
Cosmos was a little annoyed at the confidence that radiated from Yukino which meant she was telling the truth.
She sighed and said, "No need to bother. I still trust the judgment of a teacher like Shizuka-sensei."
If you knew that woman was an immoral teacher who had sex with her student, Eiji. Would you still think that way, Akino-san?
Yukino wondered in her heart with a strange look. She refrained from saying that because she still felt sorry for Shizuka who always wanted to maintain her image.
"At least this club proved its legality. However, what about the club's budget?" Cosmos regained her slightly lost confidence. She smiled and said while looking at Yuigahama and Hachiman. "I saw the three of you enjoying yourselves by reading books, eating cookies and playing games on your cell phones. Before today, I suspected that you guys often spent the club's budget on personal things."
Right after Cosmos said that, Yuigahama and Hachiman who felt slandered defended themselves of course.
"Y-You misunderstood, Akino-san! The cookies I ate earlier were cookies made by my mom! And no, I never used a dime of the Service club's budget!"
[Oh why didn't Mrs. Yuigahama give me a cookie? She could have at least left it with Yui to give to me. Has that woman forgotten her new love? This is sad.]
Huh? Eiji, what do you mean?
Yuigahama shifted her gaze to Eiji curiously. But speaking of her mother's homemade cookies, she actually didn't just make one pack. This morning, she gave her daughter two packs of cookies, one of which inexplicably belonged to Eiji.
However, she had not given it to the boy because she was hesitant and embarrassed. And she thought, she would not meet Eiji because he often skipped the club.
"I didn't do anything like that either! By the way, I'm just listening to music and watching funny videos on my phone. This has nothing to do with the club budget."
Protagonist Hachiman said a reasonable thing without a guilty conscience. Although his voice sounded nervous as Cosmos' gaze slightly intimidated him.
"Is that so? I see."
Cosmos knew she was being rather unreasonable but she was deliberately doing it to find fault with the Service club members. However, seeing as those two didn't seem to be lying...
No, not yet!
Cosmos looked back at Yukino while opening the club's activity and budget journal as if taking out her sword.
She wanted to stab Yukino with this sword and make her admit her mistake.
"What about the book you were reading earlier Yukinoshita-san? Do you often use the club budget to buy the books you want?"
"Akino-san, your words are full of unreasonable assumptions."
Yukino still not panicking, she held the book titled "Crime and Punishment" gently. She looked at the self-righteous Cosmos calmly.
[Tsk! So cool, Yukino!]
Eiji praised his fiancée.
How could she not be happy?
[However, is it just me or does this vibe remind me of a school franchise called Classroom Of The Elite. The students there often fight with their mouths. I mean verbally although some of them like to use violence. Yukino who has black hair and a cold side reminds me of Horikita Suzune.]
You think of other women after praising your fiancé? Amazing...
The other heroines were even speechless.
Eiji pretended not to see Yukino's cold gaze and looked at Cosmos. Noticing Eiji's gaze, Cosmos felt he was giving her moral support.
She couldn't let that boy down!
"I admit it's my assumption but that's why I need proof! Yukinoshita-san, you can pull out the service club's expense list now."
Cosmos thought Yukino would be silent for a long time and nervous because the proof she wanted never existed!
The club budget given by the school must have been used up on personal things by the Service Club members. Eiji was also a member of the Service Club, but as the fiancé of the student council president, he shouldn't do that kind of thing.
If he did, he must have been forced to do so and Cosmos thought of persuading Sona not to punish her fiancé severely.
Cosmos didn't realize it, but in no time Eiji's place in her heart had deepened to the point of almost chasing after a certain boy.
"Heh."
"Yukinoshita-san... why are you laughing? You don't have any proof?"
Cosmos asked a little aggressively but there was excitement in her eyes.
Yukino shook her head and said, "Nothing."
"I guessed it. This club-"
Before Cosmos could finish her words, Yukino interrupted her with the big bang theory that made all the assumptions and deductive reasoning running in Cosmos' brain go haywire.
"I said nothing because the service club wasn't given a club budget in the first place."
"!!!" Cosmos.
[Damn! That's a nice face slap! I'm suddenly a little jealous of Yukino.]
Yuigahama nodded at what Eiji said. She understood because after Yukino said that, Cosmos staggered back a little and had a very confused expression.
Yukino now looked really cool!
Even Hachiman couldn't help but be amazed and feel proud to have a club president with such a tongue.
They didn't think about it at all.
Unlike other clubs, the service club did not have a club budget given by the school from the start.
It's sad but in this situation it became their strongest weapon against the bullying of a student council representative coming to their club's door!
[Hahaha! What am I watching?]
Miss System burst out laughing.
Eiji didn't bother answering because she definitely knew what they were all watching. What was it?
That's right, it was a school skit that was very environmentally friendly and suitable for all ages. However, an editor still had to censor some rather obscene things.
Still, Cosmos was still in turmoil after being slapped by Yukino's big bang theory. Her brain was having a hard time thinking clearly as she pumped every brain cell to figure out why the Service club could not have a club budget?
However, due to the lack of sugar intake after fighting so far with Yukino, her brain was unable to grasp the answer she wanted in her own question.
Isn't the name of this club the answer?
It's a service club!
What does a service club do judging by its name?
Cosmos knew he needed sugar and the only source of sugar in the service club...
"Cosmos, are you alright? Do you want a drink? I can give you-"
"Thank you Eiji-kun!"
Without waiting for Eiji to finish saying 'I can give you a drink from the vending machine.' Cosmos snatched the box of yogurt in Eiji's hand and drank it from the same straw as the boy.
The other Service club members were dumbfounded. Yukino even slightly regretted slapping the girl too hard. She felt like a little green grass had just sprouted from the top of her head.
There was only a little yogurt left in the box. Cosmos did not hesitate to finish it all and replenish the sugar in her body to regain the full power her brain had!
But while she was still in the process of sucking up all of Eiji's yogurt—
"You're welcome, I was going to buy you a drink from the vending machine. But since you chose that, I hope you're not worried about an indirect kiss."
"Cough! Ah, what, an indirect kiss?!"
Cosmos stopped sucking, she coughed with a red face. She looked at the box of yogurt in her hand tremblingly and then looked at Eiji's handsome face.
She just remembered that the yogurt was the yogurt that Eiji had drunk earlier.
She drank it from the same straw as him.
That is, her first kiss was gone!
Cosmos covered her mouth with her hand and her eyes began to tear up. After all, she was a pretty conservative girl. For her, she could at least only give her first kiss to the person she loved. Cosmos knew it was her own fault and didn't blame Eiji, but she was sad and felt guilty for someone.
Someone green!
No, isn't that two people if the protagonist counts?
Eiji didn't think he would send two green hats to two specific boys. This was purely an accident, okay? He definitely didn't do it on purpose.
[Host, don't forget to deactivate the Future Insight you activated a moment ago.]
'Miss System, sttt!'
[What?]
'No, nothing.'
Eiji sighed in his heart, he had to calm down and be patient. In the future, he would definitely have the opportunity to make Miss System beg for his forgiveness.
He deactivated his Future Insight.
"It was just an indirect kiss and the thief was Eiji. Akino-san, you don't have to be that sad, right?"
"Yukinoshita-san, you don't understand!"
"Yes Yukino, I'm not a thief!"
[I'm your fiancee!]
Yukino rolled her eyes. At least tell that part about the fiancé straight from your mouth. What? You don't want to tell Cosmos that you have many fiancees yet?
Eiji returned to his seat without noticing Yukino's gaze.
Cosmos who was upset by Yukino's words forgot her sadness and remembered to settle things with the girl. She threw the yogurt in her hand into the trash can inside the club room before returning to her combat stance.
"Yukinoshita-san, no. I hope you all forget what you just saw and don't tell anyone about it."
"I mean your first kiss that was lost because of Eiji? You're too serious, we don't care."
Yukino pretended not to care even though she was a little upset. Yuigahama and Hachiman had no choice but to go along with what Yukino said.
Cosmos was relieved. As for Eiji? He was Sona's fiancé so there was no way he would tell this matter to anyone else for fear of being found out by his fiancée, right?
"That's good. By the way, what's the service club doing?"
Now that her brain had gotten enough sugar. Cosmos knew what she should ask to continue the topic of the club's budget.
"It's just like the name suggests. The Service Club exists to help students who have problems and need help solving them. Depending on what kind of help is requested, we can help them voluntarily."
"This is the activity of the service club."
Yukino finished explaining.
Cosmos nodded and smiled wryly before saying, "Makes sense. That's why this club activity doesn't need a club budget because you only need your labor and time to do it."
"Yeah now you understand that our club is innocent, right?"
Yukino had a triumphant look on her face.
She knew she had won.
However, Cosmos' next question made her freeze.
"Yes. I think the service club has passed the club budget inspection. It also has positive activities and has an activity permission from the teacher. But..."
"Instead of doing club activities like you said, why did the three of you look so relaxed earlier?"
"Oh and how many students have been helped by the Service club?"
Cosmos was not as aggressive as before. She gave up on disbanding the service club as originally planned and asked without malice.
"...." Yukino.
Yuigahama and Hachiman looked at each other. They then cast a look at Eiji because he was also a member of the service club!
However, the boy sat as if this matter had nothing to do with him. He seemed to be serious when he said this time he came as the Cosmos' proctor and would be neutral.
Yukino's smile became awkward.
"Well... That's because today no student has made a request yet."
"Okay then what about in the previous days? When was the last time you guys did an actual club activity, Yukinoshita-san?"
"That was quite a while ago... About two months ago if I'm not mistaken where we helped a student who wanted to stop seeing ghosts. It's not our fault, okay? The students' lack of interest in asking the service club for help is the problem."
Seeing Yukino who looked depressed while explaining all that and looking at her coldly, Cosmos suddenly realized something and felt happy as if she had avenged the slap in the face from Yukino earlier.
Put aside how little activity the service club had.
But ghosts?
Even the only request for help came from a strange student.
Miko Yotsuya would take offense if she knew what Cosmos was thinking.
