After waiting for a long time and seeing that Mibuomi Aoi had nothing more to add, Naoko Ominogashira couldn't help but ask, "Is the plan really that simple? That's it?"
"That's it, it's that simple." Mibuomi Aoi nodded.
The Elder Okinotou Sisters exchanged glances, both dumbfounded.
They had been anticipating this for a long time, originally thinking Mibuomi Aoi had some brilliant strategy, but it turned out… it was just for a few of them to gamble with the Student Council members?
They had thought about this when they first joined Zenshoukai as council members, but they instinctively assumed Mibuomi Aoi would definitely have other ideas, so they had been expecting him to reveal some unexpected plan. It turned out… it really was this simple.
Who wouldn't think of such a plan? Was it necessary to keep it a secret for so long, only revealing it when the plan was about to be implemented?
"Mibuomi-sama, are you really not joking? This plan is too childish." Uba no Atama Bako, who was beside her, echoed her sister. She couldn't accept that this was Mibuomi Aoi's method to overthrow the Student Council.
"No… this plan is not childish." Ibuki Jotaro, who was beside them, shook his head and calmly refuted the sisters: "Although the plan is simple and crude, it is very effective."
"In this school, gambling is everything. All schemes and tricks ultimately cannot escape the two words 'gambling.' Mibuomi Aoi-sama's plan is correct. Only by directly defeating the Student Council can we unseat them."
"Exactly." Mibuomi Aoi looked at Ibuki Jotaro with an appreciative gaze and nodded with a smile: "I actually thought of many ideas, but in the end, I still felt that confronting them directly in a gamble was the most effective method."
"Now is during the Ryōran Festival, when they are most unguarded. This is the most suitable time to attack."
Mibuomi Aoi specifically looked at Shimotsuki Okuri: "As long as we can win against the Student Council, we can formally transfer power in front of all the teachers and students, announce the abolition of the Livestock System and the Tribute System, and restore normalcy to this school."
Upon hearing Mibuomi Aoi's righteous words, Shimotsuki Okuri's eyes were filled with longing, and she was the first to express her willingness.
"I support Mibuomi-sama's idea. I won't lose no matter who I gamble with!"
"Since you want us to gamble with the Student Council members, you could have told us earlier. That way, we could have prepared in advance…" Naoko Ominogashira complained again.
"Since Mibuomi-sama only told us now, he naturally has his reasons. We should trust him, not question him!" Shimotsuki Okuri retorted to Naoko Ominogashira.
"You woman…!"
Naoko Ominogashira's eyes widened, and just as the two were about to argue, Mibuomi Aoi intervened to smooth things over.
"Naoko, you have a point. Indeed, if I had told you earlier, your chances of winning after preparing might be greater. However, I was worried you might tip them off and alert them prematurely."
"We are not trying to win against a single person in the Student Council, but all of its members. So, I apologize for keeping it from you for so long."
Mibuomi Aoi's tone was very sincere, and Naoko Ominogashira also felt too embarrassed to complain further: "Since Mibuomi-sama, you've said so, I have no further objections…"
The Elder Okinotou Sisters no longer had objections, and there was no need to mention Shimotsuki Okuri and Ibuki Jotaro, who had always been Mibuomi Aoi's supporters.
"We were chosen as council members by Mibuomi-sama because of our strong gambling abilities, right? I had a premonition that we might have to gamble with the Student Council members, and it really turned out that way…" Kamishita Nagi also spread his hands helplessly.
"Oh well, I expected it anyway. It's good to gamble. I can also see the difference between me and the Student Council members."
Ayanokouji Kiyohira had long reached a consensus with Mibuomi Aoi, so he naturally had no objections. At this point, only Rokujo Enero had yet to express her stance.
Rokujo Enero raised her hand and said lazily, "Boss, I don't mind gambling with those Student Council members, but I have a question now… Do you really think we can win against them? If our gambling skills were that strong, we would have already joined the Student Council."
From every perspective, there was a significant gap between them, and not only Rokujo Enero thought so, but everyone else did too, though they didn't voice it.
"Don't worry about that, I already thought of it."
Mibuomi Aoi smiled and took out a stack of documents from a nearby cabinet, placing them on the table.
"These are all pieces of information I secretly had Zenshoukai members working in the Beautification Committee obtain using their positions. They record the recent whereabouts, number of gambles, content, and personalities of each Student Council member…
You can look at these materials. You might find a way to win from them."
Mibuomi Aoi said confidently, "We have always been hidden in the dark, and with these materials, we can plan against them when they are unaware. So, it's not impossible to win against them.
These are valuable materials brought by our Zenshoukai members. They have provided us with enough support. Next, it's up to us, the 'commanders,' to fight."
Ayanokouji Kiyohira couldn't help but glance at Mibuomi Aoi upon hearing this.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira had always been curious about what Mibuomi Aoi was doing by using Miharu Taki's position in the Beautification Committee, even to the point of displeasing Miharu Taki and refusing to give up those positions.
So, he was using them to monitor and investigate Student Council members…
Indeed, as an unofficial member of the Student Council, the Beautification Committee could easily approach Student Council members without arousing suspicion, observe their actions in secret, and easily gather information from people who had interacted with the Student Council during casual conversations.
Mibuomi Aoi's move was quite ingenious.
"With these materials, the chance of winning will increase by at least 20%!" Ibuki Jotaro looked at Mibuomi Aoi with admiration.
As expected of Mibuomi-sama, he was indeed well-prepared! I was overthinking it!
Mibuomi Aoi smiled and said in a gentle tone, "I have already chosen opponents for each of you. Your names are written on the documents. Each of you just needs to take your corresponding document.
There are two days left until our uprising. During these two days, you can use these materials to analyze how to gamble with your opponents, find their weaknesses in gambling, and then defeat them honorably."
Upon hearing this, each of them took their respective documents, opened the first page, and upon seeing the information on the documents, some smiled while others showed expressions of distress.
