No right to interfere, huh…
Ayanokouji Kiyohira felt like laughing when he heard that.
Rather than saying he had no right to interfere, it was more like he didn't want to interfere. After all, these photos could not only be exchanged for money but also for information. It must be precisely because this Kendo Club president provided him with enough information that he let her do as she pleased and even allowed her to join the council.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira didn't ask any more questions, he just marked Rokujo Enero as dangerous.
"There's no need to introduce this one, right? Shimotsuki Okuri, she just went to your casino to challenge a few days ago, originally wanting to get her money back from you, but she unexpectedly lost the game instead."
Mibuomi Aoi looked at the girl with a gloomy expression beside him. This sentence was a declarative sentence, but Shimotsuki Okuri trembled all over when she heard it, bowing deeply, burying her head even lower.
"Mibuomi-sama, I'm sorry, it's my fault!" Her words were filled with regret, and Ayanokouji Kiyohira could hear her unwillingness in her voice.
"Okuri, I'm not blaming you." Mibuomi Aoi came to her side, squatted down, and showed a gentle smile: "I was the one who asked you to go. I also bear responsibility for you losing the gamble. How could I blame an important companion for such a small matter?"
Mibuomi Aoi paused: "However, there is one thing I do need to blame you for."
Shimotsuki Okuri clenched her fists nervously, already prepared to be scolded mercilessly.
"Okuri, you are an executive, yet you don't have any awareness of your position. You should raise your head now. Who are you showing your constantly lowered, dejected appearance to? Since I chose you to replace Sakura, it means I believe you have such value. You should be more confident."
Although spoken in a reprimanding tone, Mibuomi Aoi's words did not carry any blame, but rather an encouraging attitude.
"Mibuomi-sama…" Shimotsuki Okuri raised her head, showing a moved expression.
She had lost eighty million. Even if Mibuomi Aoi had hit and scolded her, she would have nothing to say, but he didn't blame her at all, and instead gently encouraged her…
"Are you mentally prepared now? It's just losing a small game, there's no need to be down anymore. Next, you will still be put to important use."
Mibuomi Aoi smiled, stood up, came to Ayanokouji Kiyohira's side, and handed him a bank card, saying cheerfully: "Oh, right, this is the wager I agreed upon with you earlier. If Okuri loses, I'll give you an additional twenty million. I lost, and I'll honor my bet."
This was the money Mibuomi Aoi had lost to him in a previous bet. Including the eighty million lost in gambling, he had already lost a grand total of one hundred eighty million to him.
There was no reason not to take this money, so Ayanokouji Kiyohira reached out and took the bank card containing one hundred million yen.
However, Mibuomi Aoi deliberately encouraged Shimotsuki Okuri before giving him the bank card, which was an attempt to win people's hearts.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira glanced at Shimotsuki Okuri. Sure enough, her eyes, hidden beneath her bangs, showed more admiration and guilt. It was likely that after today, Shimotsuki Okuri would be even more loyal to Mibuomi Aoi.
"Ayanokouji Kiyohira, this is my mistake. I underestimated Meari." Mibuomi Aoi readily admitted his mistake: "If possible, could we also bring her into our Zenshoukai? If so, the success rate would be even higher…"
"I said, we are only temporarily cooperating. Don't involve others."
"You're right, I spoke too much." Mibuomi Aoi smiled and didn't bring it up again.
"Don't forget about us!"
Seeing that they hadn't been introduced, the last two girls in the room couldn't sit still and actively raised their hands.
These two girls seemed to be twins, similar in appearance and height.
Their faces looked as if they were carved from the same mold, with very similar features, except one person's smile appeared a little arrogant, while the other's smile was softer.
The only difference between the two was that one had long hair and the other had short hair. If they had the same hairstyle and covered the difference with makeup, a normal person would never be able to tell who was who.
The short-haired girl raised her hand first: "My name is Naoko Ominogashira, I'm the older sister!"
The long-haired girl also quickly raised her hand: "My name is Uba no Atama Bako, I'm the younger sister!"
"We're twins! Nice to meet you!" they said in unison.
"Hm, hello, my name is Ayanokouji Kiyohira." Ayanokoji also nodded, considering it a greeting.
Originally, they thought that a simple greeting would suffice for an introduction, but the younger sister among them didn't want to let Ayanokoji off so easily and asked curiously: "Ayanokoji, I know you. Isn't your brother the one who was kidnapped? Is the assassination of the Prime Minister related to you?"
The older sister also quickly asked: "I heard your father is a former prime ministerial candidate. Did the perpetrator attack your brother to assassinate families related to the Prime Minister?"
Although this matter had passed for over a week and was gradually being forgotten, now that they met the person involved, they naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Mibuomi Aoi didn't answer and didn't want to answer. Mibuomi Aoi didn't want the atmosphere to become awkward, so he directly changed the topic: "Alright, if you're interested in these matters, you can ask Ayanokoji privately. For now, calm down and listen to what I have to say."
The Elder Okinotou Sisters quieted down, and everyone else also turned their attention to Mibuomi Aoi.
Currently present were Mibuomi Aoi, Shimotsuki Okuri, Kamishita Nagi, Ibuki Jotaro, Rokujo Enero, Naoko Ominogashira, and Uba no Atama Bako, plus Ayanokouji Kiyohira, making a total of 8 people.
After everyone quieted down, Mibuomi Aoi spoke: "Today, I have gathered you all here not only to introduce our new companion, Ayanokouji Kiyohira, to you, but also for an important matter: to inform you when to launch the rebellion against the Student Council."
Mibuomi Aoi said that he had set the time for the "uprising" on the last day of the Ryōran Festival, which was Friday.
On this Friday, he would overthrow the Student Council's rule and depose Momobami Kirari.
Before that, he hoped everyone would wait patiently.
"Although I said I would rise up and overthrow the Student Council, until today, I have never specifically revealed to you how to do it."
Mibuomi Aoi said: "It's not that I deliberately wanted to hide it from you. It's mainly because a crucial role was missing, so explaining it to you would have just been empty talk. However, today, everyone is present, and I will now explain the plan to you."
All the council members listened intently to Mibuomi Aoi's words.
Since joining the Zenshoukai, although they talked about overthrowing the Student Council every day, Mibuomi Aoi had never explained the specific plan to them.
Today, it was finally time for the reveal.
"My plan isn't actually that complicated."
Mibuomi Aoi said with a serious expression, "I hope that during the Ryōran Festival, the Zenshoukai council members, which means all of you, will confront the Student Council members. Let them gamble with their positions as Student Council members as stakes, and determine the victor through gambling. Through this Ryōran Festival, we will utterly defeat them!"
