Even though she had no idea that customs activities actually required a report submission.
Was it supposed to be a written report?
Picture report?
Video report?
Or maybe a whole bag full of "evidence"?
No matter what it was, none of it made sense.
She didn't even know why the discipline committee president wanted that kind of thing. There was no way she planned to report it to the student council president, right?
Hikigaya was President Kaede's childhood friend. Restricting Hikigaya's customs activities was one thing, but openly mocking him too?
How exactly did Saki, Kohana, Chika, and the others submit theirs, she had to ask them later.
"Asai-senpai, Kotegawa-san, may I ask what our discipline committee's customs activities are?"
Iino Miko walked over beside Asai Saki and Kotegawa Yui. Looking at the two black-haired discipline committee members, whose temperament, looks, and figures were all outstanding, then glancing at third-year senior Ryuzaki Hina being "criticized in public," she hesitated for a moment before quietly asking Kotegawa Yui, who was seriously taking notes.
"Customs activities are disciplinary punishments carried out by discipline committee members who secretly step forward to protect school discipline and prevent other girls from being harmed by blacklisted members."
Kotegawa Yui closed the small notebook in her hand and seriously explained things to the newcomer Iino Miko.
"Although there's currently only one person on our discipline committee blacklist, we still can't let down our guard."
"Besides Senior Ryuzaki and me, Usui, Sakurai, Senior Kitamura, and Senior Asai are also carrying out disciplinary punishment against the blacklisted member, meaning Hikigaya-kun."
She naturally believed the culprit was Hachiman, who relied on his close relationship with the student council president and the elf princesses to skip class all day and get dragged to the guidance room by Teacher Hiratsuka for tea.
Although besides knowing Hachiman skipped class, she had never caught any solid evidence of him violating discipline, even she knew there were many rumors around campus about him having improper relationships with girls from every class, already making people restless.
If this kept going, the learning atmosphere the discipline committee had always worked hard to maintain would probably be destroyed.
"Blacklist? Disciplinary punishment?"
Iino Miko stared blankly at the serious-faced Kotegawa Yui, wondering if she heard wrong.
What exactly was this Kotegawa-san's relationship with Hikigaya-san?
She looked completely determined to bring Hikigaya-san to justice.
Although she hadn't officially joined the Service Club yet, she had transferred from Shuchiin Academy together with Senior Shinomiya, Senior Fujiwara, and the others, so naturally she understood Hikigaya-san's status at Sobu High and the purpose of the others.
You could say Sobu High was basically Hikigaya-san's territory, even if it hadn't been publicly announced.
And yet, in his own territory, Hikigaya-san had actually been placed on the school discipline committee's blacklist?
And several discipline committee members were even carrying out punishment against him?
"Master really is the only name on the blacklist. This customs activity originally existed to stop the elf princess from being harmed by Master, which is why we privately carried out disciplinary punishment on Master. Mm... you can also think of it as customs punishment. The discipline committee members help cover for each other anyway. The goal is to stop Master from having extra energy to make moves on the elf princess."
Seeing the situation, the proper-looking black-haired discipline committee member with the huge chest, Asai Saki, immediately leaned close to Iino Miko's ear and quietly explained.
"Although many people now already know the true relationship between the elf princess and Master, so nobody worries about the elf princess anymore, the discipline committee's customs activity still hasn't ended. It's still continuing."
"Mm... Senior Ryuzaki and Kotegawa haven't carried out customs punishment on Master before, so they still don't know the elf princess's true relationship with Master."
"Wait, if there's no need to worry about the elf princess anymore, then why continue it? Wouldn't that mean the remaining discipline committee members are sacrificing themselves for nothing?"
Iino Miko stared blankly at Asai Saki, who was seriously explaining things, while her mind completely froze.
"A-And you called Hikigaya... you called Hikigaya-san Master?"
"Aren't you a club member too? Everyone will be serving Master together in the future, so what's strange about calling him Master?"
Hearing Iino Miko's words, Asai Saki instead looked at her strangely. This batch of new members all came for Master, didn't they?
If she desired Master's body, then these young ladies wanted to use Master to become stronger.
Judging only by motives, she was actually more noble and pure.
"No, for now I don't plan to serve Hikigaya-san together with Shinomiya-san and the others. I was just told to transfer here together with everyone..."
Noticing Asai Saki's examining gaze, Iino Miko's face instantly turned red. But she didn't know how to explain the fact that she had the qualifications to come here yet wasn't proactively offering herself, so she hurriedly changed the topic.
"Kotegawa-san... does she know about this? About customs punishment and things like that..."
Judging from Kotegawa-san's reaction just now, she didn't seem like someone who knew she was supposed to serve Hachiman.
"She doesn't know. That day she happened to be out patrolling and didn't attend the discipline committee meeting."
Asai Saki shook her head.
"And the other discipline committee members didn't tell her either? Then what about the customs activity reports? Just now the discipline committee president said only Senior Ryuzaki hadn't submitted hers. How did Kotegawa-san submit a report..."
Iino Miko froze, immediately noticing the problem.
"Kotegawa voluntarily requested to join the customs activities later. She wasn't included at the start, so the discipline committee president didn't count her," Asai Saki smiled slightly and softly explained, "Also, Kotegawa doesn't have many friends, so even now she still thinks the customs activities we talked about are just special supervision and special control carried out by several people against Master."
It wasn't like they couldn't explain it to Kotegawa, but wasn't it even better having one companion who didn't know?
Anyway, she had strongly opposed Senior Ryuzaki and the others telling Kotegawa the truth. That way, when Master disciplined her around campus, she could experience the excitement of having to avoid Kotegawa and needing other discipline committee members to help cover things up.
The only regret was that Master was very busy. Usually she only got the chance to drag Master into the gym equipment storage room during PE class when she happened to run into him. Last time, Kitamura Chika had even joined in and shared him.
Now she felt like she needed to be like the other club members and bring more people in to serve Master together so she could receive Master's affection.
For example, the discipline committee president, the other discipline committee members, mm, the Iino Miko in front of her seemed pretty good.
Her younger sister also seemed good. Master liked sisters together very much.
"Oh... so that's how it is..."
Iino Miko wasn't as twisted as Asai Saki and didn't realize Asai Saki was deliberately refusing to explain the truth behind the customs activities to Kotegawa Yui. But just knowing Kotegawa Yui alone was being kept in the dark and almost getting "voluntarily" sacrificed to Hachiman was already enough to make her soft face turn completely red.
For a moment she almost thought Kotegawa-san was so amazing that she had completed a customs activity report without even realizing it herself.
"I'll patrol ahead first. Senior Asai, Senior Ryuzaki, please introduce Sobu High's situation to Iino-san while you're behind."
Seeing everyone else had dispersed while Iino Miko and Asai Saki were still whispering together, Kotegawa Yui subconsciously frowned slightly.
However, she knew she wasn't very likable. Most classmates disliked her, and many discipline committee members also didn't enjoy talking to her. The newly joined Iino Miko in front of her probably wasn't an exception either, so she had no intention of making meaningless small talk with Iino Miko. She directly walked ahead to patrol, leaving the introductions to Asai Saki and Ryuzaki Hina.
"Don't mind Kotegawa's attitude. Actually, she's a really good person. If you ask her for help with any reasonable request, she'll help you."
Ryuzaki Hina had already walked over to the group. Seeing Kotegawa Yui acting so clueless about social interaction again and not even bothering to communicate with the newcomer, she helplessly explained things to Iino Miko for Kotegawa Yui's sake.
"It's just that she takes discipline committee work too seriously. Even with classmates from her own class, she never shows mercy if they violate discipline. She won't let even the smallest issue go. Over time, she just stopped having friends."
Her situation wasn't the same as Kotegawa-san's. She personally struggled to reject other people's requests. Even when overwhelmed, she couldn't bring herself to refuse them. Sometimes she had envied Kotegawa-san's style of doing whatever she wanted without caring about others' opinions.
So when she saw Kotegawa-san being rejected and isolated by classmates, she had many thoughts about it. But even though she wanted to help Kotegawa, there was nothing she could do.
If other people didn't want to become friends with Kotegawa-san, she couldn't force them. That wouldn't create real friendship anyway.
"I see. I won't mind. As a discipline committee member, maintaining discipline is only natural. Even if Kotegawa-san directly points out where I violated discipline, I'll seriously correct myself."
Hearing that, Iino Miko suddenly understood and quickly nodded then shook her head, saying she really didn't mind.
For a moment earlier, Iino Miko thought Kotegawa Yui had something against her.
So that was the reason... Kotegawa Yui thought she also couldn't accept such merciless behavior, so she didn't plan to have pointless conversations with her.
As the child of a judge, she naturally didn't become a discipline committee member simply because she wanted the position.
If even school discipline required worrying about this and that, or handling matters differently because of personal feelings instead of following rules and regulations, then once entering society and becoming a judge, there would be even less need to mention handling the profit issues of more people.
"Of course, Kotegawa and I are the same. If either of us violates discipline somewhere, Iino, just point it out directly. We'll humbly accept it and immediately correct ourselves."
Seeing that Iino Miko hadn't formed any negative impression of Kotegawa Yui, Ryuzaki Hina relaxed considerably and continued smiling as she eased the atmosphere.
"Pointing out each other's discipline violations... Senior Ryuzaki, Iino-san, let's hurry and catch up to Kotegawa-san. It looks like Kotegawa-san ran into trouble near the infirmary. We need to go help."
Looking at Ryuzaki Hina and Iino Miko chatting happily beside her, along with Kotegawa Yui ahead seeming to argue with students seriously again, Asai Saki's cheeks unconsciously turned red in a strange way as she quickly urged the two forward.
She seemed to smell Master's scent.
Three discipline committee members with serious and strict personalities.
One was about to go serve Master with her, one knew people were serving Master, and one didn't know anyone was serving Master.
Their discipline committee had already arranged customs activities beforehand. She really wondered how those three judged what counted as violating discipline.
The moment Ryuzaki Hina, Kotegawa Yui, and Iino Miko caught each other serving Master, how exciting would that be...

"What are you doing at the infirmary entrance? Why is the infirmary door closed? Is someone hiding inside from something?"
At the infirmary entrance, Kotegawa Yui stood with a straight face, expressionless as she looked at Nanasaki Ai, Tachibana Miya, and Sae Nakata gathered at the door, immediately preparing to go inside and investigate.
Based on a discipline committee member's instincts, seeing the infirmary door, which should normally stay open, mysteriously closed while three students gathered outside instantly made her suspect something shameful was hidden inside.
Because no matter how strict the gate inspections were, some boys always found ways to sneak forbidden books into school, then gather friends together during breaks to read them.
Provoking the discipline committee?
Enjoying the thrill of being caught as an example by discipline committee members?
Anyway, she didn't understand why boys insisted on doing these things in a school meant for studying. They could obviously just invite classmates over to their homes to read those shameful books.
"Uh okay... wait! You can't go in!"
Nanasaki Ai subconsciously moved aside, but the next second she suddenly reacted and blocked Kotegawa Yui with her whole body, nervously stopping her.
Hikigaya-kun was helping her good friend Kumatsu. Since she hadn't heard anything the whole time, she had no idea what progress things had reached inside.
If Kotegawa Yui entered the infirmary right now and Kumatsu and the others still hadn't finished, what if Kotegawa Yui saw Kumatsu and Hikigaya-kun lying naked together on the bed?
Sobu High had already clearly forbidden improper relationships between boys and girls. If they were caught on the spot by the discipline committee...
They would definitely be publicly criticized, maybe even expelled.
Forget those serious consequences. Just the strange looks from classmates alone would socially kill Kumatsu.
"Huh? Nana-chan?"
Seeing Nanasaki Ai suddenly block Kotegawa Yui, Sae Nakata and Tachibana Miya were confused about why she was acting this way, but they trusted that she naturally had her reasons.
The twin-tailed beautiful girl Sae Nakata, who had a full figure and a shy personality, stayed silent. She simply clenched her hands and stood beside Nanasaki Ai with a tense expression while looking at Kotegawa Yui.
Meanwhile, the lively and cheerful Tachibana Miya, who acted like a child, was much bolder. She directly stood in front of Nanasaki Ai with her hands on her hips, glaring at Kotegawa Yui, whom she dealt with often but had a poor relationship with.
"Kotegawa, so what if we're standing here? School's already over, and we're not doing anything against discipline. Why are you meddling so much!"
She had disliked Kotegawa Yui for a long time already.
Talking loudly wasn't allowed. Running a little fast also got warnings.
In Tachibana Miya's eyes, Kotegawa Yui, who strictly carried out full body searches and confiscated forbidden items, was completely heartless and always looking for trouble. The other discipline committee members weren't nearly this picky. Only Kotegawa Yui stubbornly refused to let even tiny matters go.
"After-school club time is free activity time, but that doesn't mean you can casually occupy the infirmary. Please move aside immediately. I want to see exactly what you're secretly doing inside."
Kotegawa Yui expressionlessly looked at Tachibana Miya, Nanasaki Ai, and Sae Nakata blocking her way, becoming even more convinced something was wrong inside the infirmary.
Although girls probably wouldn't bring those kinds of books into school like boys did, girls more often violated discipline through appearance regulations. But having three girls standing guard outside was definitely suspicious. Maybe even more girls inside were doing something seriously against school discipline.
For example, someone inside could be carrying out school bullying.
She knew Sobu High had bullying among both boys and girls. She had even personally caught cases before. It was just that sometimes the victims refused to identify the bullies, making it impossible to punish or expel them.
That made her very helpless and troubled. But no matter what, as a discipline committee member, if she saw bullying happening on campus, she absolutely had to step forward and stop the bullies' actions!
"No! Kumatsu's sick and resting inside right now!"
Tachibana Miya glared angrily at Kotegawa Yui without any intention of backing down.
"If she's resting inside, then why won't you let me enter?"
Seeing Tachibana Miya's stubborn determination, Kotegawa Yui frowned and stopped planning to waste more words.
"Wait, Kotegawa, calm down first. Let's talk this out properly!"
"There might be students inside the infirmary who took off their clothes for an examination. It wouldn't be good for us to rush in carelessly. These girls probably aren't blocking you on purpose."
At that moment, Ryuzaki Hina finally arrived hurriedly together with Asai Saki and Iino Miko. Hearing the argument between the two sides, she quickly stopped Kotegawa Yui, who wanted to force her way inside.
"There are curtains around the beds. If someone needed a physical examination, why would the door need to be specially closed?"
Seeing seniors Ryuzaki Hina and Asai Saki arrive, Kotegawa Yui stopped preparing to force her way in, but she still insisted there was something wrong inside and that they needed to quickly investigate.
"Uh... that does seem true... but I think there's definitely some misunderstanding here..."
Hearing that, Ryuzaki Hina couldn't help falling speechless and didn't know how to argue back.
She also understood that with people guarding the infirmary entrance, something definitely was happening inside. But she didn't think it was school bullying.
She knew these girls. Nanasaki Ai was a talented newcomer in the girls' competitive swimming club. Not only did she have a chance to compete for a spot in tournaments, but she was also an excellent student with good behavior. Tachibana Miya had a lively personality and laughed all day long, so most discipline committee members knew her. As for Sae Nakata beside them, her personality was extremely shy and timid.
