Machete Style Anime

Given his personality, once he's agreed, he certainly won't resist paying the money, but it's also true that he'll go bankrupt after paying it.

Kasugano Mirai felt that since it was her suggestion, and the real purpose was for her own enjoyment, and since he was also able to come up with the money, she might as well just pay for it herself.

He used Hiratsuka Shizuka as an excuse simply because he understood the personalities of the other three people present.

If we were to say it directly, most people would likely object, and in the end, the proposal might not even come to fruition. It would be better to just tell a white lie and be done with it.

Upon hearing Kasugano Mirai's answer, Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated and asked, "Can Hiratsuka-sensei really handle something like this?"

"no problem!"

Kasugano Mirai smiled confidently.

"Teacher Jing is a celebrity at Zongwu High School, and she has a very good reputation among the students."

"If she goes through with it, the success rate will definitely be much higher than if we go directly to the student council."

Having said all that, Yukino Yukinoshita could find no reason to refuse, but due to her doubts, she put forward her own conditions.

"I'll go with you to find Hiratsuka-sensei."

Before Kasugano Mirai could refute, the girl shut him up with a single sentence.

"As the head of the club, it's simply not right to let club members solve the problem of activity funding on their own."

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Mirai fell silent, slowly lowering her head with a flickering gaze.

"Since the president has said so, let's do it your way."

..............................................................................

Half an hour later.

teacher's office.

When Kasugano Mirai and Yukino Yukinoshita arrived, they found the office empty.

Just as the two were about to leave in disappointment, a sound of satisfied exhalation came from behind the screened rest area in the office.

At the same time, a wisp of smoke rose up.

They exchanged a glance, and Yukino Yukinoshita was the first to move to the side of the screen.

As expected, Hiratsuka Shizuka was sitting on the sofa behind the screen, contentedly puffing on a cigarette.

The next moment, the cigarette she was holding was snatched away by Kasugano Mirai, who had also stepped forward.

"Ms. Jing, smoking in front of students is not a good habit; you need to change it!"

"Stinky boy!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka chuckled and cursed, but didn't throw a punch.

Well, the main reason is that Hiratsuka Shizuka knows she can't do anything to the other party.

She had heard some rumors among the students before, but she had never taken them seriously.

After all, no one knew Kasugano Mirai's family background better than her, her homeroom teacher.

However, her punch was easily blocked by the other party last time, which made Hiratsuka Shizuka realize that although Kasugano Mirai was not the successor of the kendo dojo or martial arts dojo, she must have practiced martial arts since childhood.

Both are martial arts practitioners, but women are naturally inferior to men in terms of physical strength, so what's the point of fighting?

Secondly, she is a teacher. It's okay for her to occasionally give a student a light tap, but what kind of behavior is it to fight with a student?

After careful consideration, Hiratsuka Shizuka did not deliver a powerful punch this time.

Adjusting her posture, she asked casually, "You've already confiscated my cigarettes, so can you explain why you're here now?"

"I'm in Tokyo, and I have a body double, but it's the White Snake."

Chapter 58 Yoshino Wants to Take Action [5k]

Upon hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, Kasugano Mirai remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she couldn't help but admire Hiratsuka's acting skills.

why?

Because he had already messaged Hiratsuka Shizuka beforehand, hoping she would cooperate with his act.

Judging from the other party's current behavior, if he didn't know the inside story, he would never have any doubts.

This makes one realize that what that cult leader's mother said was absolutely right.

—The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie!

Yukino Yukinoshita, unaware of the dirty dealings between the other two, honestly stated the purpose of her visit: "Hiratsuka-sensei, we would like to ask you for help in applying for club activity funds."

"Is this the only one?"

"Ah."

"Leave it to me."

Hiratsuka Shizuka reached into her trench coat pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Just as she was about to take one out, she saw Kasugano Mirai's unfriendly gaze and her restless little hand. Her expression stiffened for a moment, and she put the pack of cigarettes back.

"Yukino, if there's nothing else, you can go now. Kasugano, stay here. I have some questions to discuss with you."

Yukino Yukinoshita noticed Hiratsuka Shizuka's gesture of trying to light a cigarette earlier and guessed why she had left Kasugano Mirai behind, but she did not suspect anything because of it.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

With a slight bow, the girl left the office.

The footsteps outside faded into the distance until they could no longer be heard. Then, Hiratsuka Shizuka said to Kasugano Mirai, "Tell me what happened."

Kasugano Mirai did not answer her question immediately. After sitting down on the sofa opposite her, he took out a box of chewing gum from his shirt pocket and handed it to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Smoking is bad for your health, and you should at least be mindful of your image in front of students."

"When you have a craving for cigarettes, chew some gum to relieve it."

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka reached out and took the chewing gum.

"You brat, you actually lectured me."

"In addition, I rarely smoke in front of students. When I'm at school, I usually only smoke when I'm alone in the office."

"Nobody but you would say that about me."

Kasugano Mirai smiled noncommittally.

Whether Hiratsuka Shizuka smokes or not is actually none of his business, as long as it doesn't affect him.

However, every time he went to the office to see the other party, the latter was almost always smoking, which forced him to inhale secondhand smoke.

His health and safety were at stake, so he had no choice but to care.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was just grumbling and complaining. After taking the chewing gum, she casually pulled out a piece and put it in her mouth. While chewing, she asked, "Now can you tell me what's going on?"

What was the situation regarding the event funding that Yukinoshita mentioned earlier?

Due to the tight schedule, Kasugano Mirai only had time to send a message to cooperate with his acting without explaining the reason.

Trusting her student, Hiratsuka Shizuka agreed.

The reason for asking this question now is to hope that Kasugano Mirai will explain the whole story in detail.

Since she needed his help, Kasugano Mirai naturally didn't keep him in suspense and revealed her thoughts truthfully.

"The matter is actually not that complicated."

"Now that the Service Club is officially established, the right to use that activity room belongs entirely to us. I want to turn it into a club like the Light Music Club, so we need to renovate the classroom and buy some things."

Hiratsuka Shizuka actually reads manga and novels in private, so she naturally knows what the Light Music Club that Kasugano Mirai mentioned is referring to.

She frowned as she chewed her gum.

"Kasugano, I understand your suggestion, but renovating the clubroom will cost a lot."

"At least, the funding I applied for from the school is definitely not enough."

After patiently waiting for Hiratsuka Shizuka to finish speaking, Kasugano Mirai smiled and said, "Shizuka-sensei, you misunderstood. I asked you to cooperate with my acting in order to keep it a secret from Yukinoshita and the others."

"To be honest, I plan to pay for this myself."

"Oh?"

Considering the family background of the person in front of her, Hiratsuka Shizuka had a sudden realization.

Kasugano Mirai guessed something from her changing expression, and in order not to let Hiratsuka Shizuka reject him for this reason, he could only reveal some information appropriately.

"Teacher Jing, judging from the expression on your face, you probably think I'm going to ask my family for money."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was taken aback by his words: "Isn't that right?"

"of course not!"

Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's puzzled expression, Kasugano Mirai explained, "To be honest, I'm actually a light novel author. Although the royalties aren't much, paying this amount isn't a problem for me."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm quite comfortable in the club right now. I have a place to eat lunch and rest during my lunch break."

"Nominally, the goal is to build the club into a light music club, but the real purpose is for our own enjoyment."

"It would be a bit unfair to make everyone pay for this."

"The reason for keeping it from them was to avoid affecting the relationship between everyone."

"Stop!"

Hiratsuka Shizu stretched out his hand to interrupt Kasugano Mirai's words.

"Since you're going to keep this from them, what should I say if you ask me to help apply for club funds?"

"Once the club funds are handed over to Yukino, you won't be able to hide it from her anymore, will you?"

Kasugano Mirai smiled slightly: "That's why I need Hiratsuka-sensei's help!"

"Applying for event funding is just an excuse; in reality, I'm the one paying for it."

"As for Yukinoshita, Ms. Shizuka can tell her that the club has too few members or has not brought honor to the school, and that the premise for the school to distribute activity funds is that you are in charge of them."

"Given Teacher Jing's popularity and reputation, no one would have any doubts."

After hearing Kasugano Mirai's explanation, Hiratsuka Shizuka laughed and scolded, "So I was also part of your plan."
