Niz

The three major underground organizations of Sakura Academy are the Pirate Club, the Bunny Girl Enthusiasts Association, and the Student Club.

With the help of the teacher, the Pirate Club became legitimate and turned into an official organization.

The Bunny Girl Enthusiasts Association is now in disarray due to the minister's arrest.

And the Student Club, or the campus horrors...

In Awakener's report, it's stated that the Student Club formed purely by chance. It's really just campus gossips and doesn't really exist.

Charlotte

Sounds like I can get off work now.

I'm glad the student leader told me about the 3 popular underground organizations in the academy and their outcomes.

The Underground Detective Club disbanded immediately and disappeared from the academy.

Niz

...I'm just passing my intel to you, but judging by your reaction, this step seems a bit redundant.

So, I'll just say it.

Someone is causing chaos on campus under the guise of the Student Club, and the reason I asked you to come is to investigate what happened.

For the president of the Detective Club, this isn't difficult, right?

Charlotte

Indeed.

So, what about the compensation?

Niz

A spot in the Detective Club as a member, and no member count requirement.

Sova

Is this okay?

Niz

Yes, the detective club has solved several incidents within the campus. They have long been qualified to be regularized.

Charlotte, being the president, has super high standards for the members, so she's never been able to fill the quota.

Handing this to her solves both the Student Club disturbance and the issue of the Detective Club becoming official.

Sova

I mean, the intel about the leader of the Student Club...

Niz

Not accepting what we delivered is her choice.

Since she is so confident, I believe that even without these intel, she'd do fine too.

In the medical room, Mira is helping the school doctor take care of the sick students.

Doctor

Mira, leave the rest to me.

It's great to have such an enthusiastic student like you in the school.

Mira

I just want to provide some help for everyone.

Charlotte

Mira, gotcha.

Mira

Minister? How did you know I was here?

Charlotte

I don't even need to reason to find your location.

We've got a new task, directly assigned by the Student Union leader.

Mira

The mission assigned by the Student Union leader?

Could it be related to the Student Club?

Charlotte

You're quick indeed. That's the one.

Don't just stand there, let's go.

Mira

Go, where to?

Charlotte

I gathered some information on the way here, I'll tell you about it on the road.

3. Campus Horrors

16 lines
Charlotte

How much do you know about the Student Club?

Mira

Basically, everyone knows that among the students injured in the medical room, there is a supporter of the Student Club, and she really enjoys talking about the Student Club with everyone.

At first, the Student Club was just a hub for campus gossip. But when you're facing a problem you can't ask anyone about, try looking in the hidden corners where the cameras can't catch you.

If you're lucky, you'll find an old suggestion box. Write your problem, drop it in, and it might just get solved.

Later, the News Department turned into an official club. They kept insisting that the Student Club was real, but never actually showed any proof.

It wasn't until recently that someone took a photo of a Student Club member helping students, which proved they were real.

The student refused treatment and wanted to write to the Student Club and let them witness a miracle while she was sick.

Charlotte

Hmm? So she's still planning to wear the bunny girl outfit?

Mira

Bunny girl?

Charlotte

In the photo, the Student Club members are dressed as bunny girls and are helping out the students.

It seems that after the Bunny Girl Enthusiasts Association disbanded, the Student Club took over, and the bunny girl has now become their symbol.

Like you said, those die-hard Student Club fans who make wishes to it even when they're sick should know very well.

Mira

Is the bunny girl a symbol of the Student Club?

Charlotte

Perhaps so, I've seen many fans of the Student Club buying bunny girl costumes, and no one from the club has come out to deny it.

Okay, we're here.

Mira

What's this place?

4. Hidden Corner

13 lines
Charlotte

This is the nearest spot to us without surveillance, and there's even an old, worn-out suggestion box from the Student Union.

The best way to investigate a rumor is to verify it.

Mira

Indeed.

Charlotte took out her pen and paper, and handed them to Mira.

Mira

President?

You're not going to ask me to send the letter, are you?

Charlotte

I don't have any problems that need to be solved by the Student Club, but I think you probably have quite a few.

Mira

I want to solve my problems through my own abilities.

Charlotte

The Student Club might not solve your problem. It's just for verification.

If you can't think of a question, just say you need the Student Club's help to uncover some truth about itself.

Mira

...Is this really okay?

Charlotte

You'll never know if you don't try.

Give it a try.

5. Crisis

21 lines

Mira wrote 'I want to know the truth about the Student Club', then stuffed the paper it into the box.

Mira

Is this okay?

Charlotte

Yes, you're doing very well.

From now on, the task of investigating the Student Club is handed over to you.

Mira

...Me?

Charlotte

Yes, you.

As a member of the Detective Club, I believe you can do it.

Once you uncover the truth, I'll reward you by making you the vice president of the Detective Club.

Mira

Is there any significance in being the vice president of an underground organization?

Charlotte

No, it's a formal association.

The one who entrusted us is Niz, the Student Union leader. The reward? We get to become an official club without meeting the required member count.

It's an official club with fundings and a classroom!

Mira

That's unbelievable!

But what if I can't find the truth?

Charlotte

The Detective Club will disband right on the spot.

Mira

Huh?

Charlotte

The school is cracking down on underground organizations. Can't do anything about that.

Keep going, Mira, the future of the detective club is on you.

Mira

Can I refuse?

Charlotte

You know the answer to that.

Mira

... (Sighs)

6. Act Together

13 lines

Although reluctant, Mira took on the task of investigating the truth of the Student Club.

However, to avoid coming up empty-handed, Mira insists that Charlotte must accompany her in every move.

Mira

They said I should investigate, but where should I start...

President, any suggestions?

Charlotte

If I need to think about it, then it would be completely pointless for me to hand this matter over to you.

Keep going, Mira, you can do it.

Mira

Okay... I'll do my best.

The letters submitted to the Student Club may take some time for a response.

Before this, if you want to investigate...

The only confirmed clue now is the photo of the Student Club helping people.

Let's go find this photo.

Charlotte

I've handed the task to you, so I'll listen to you.

Mira

The photo is from the News Department, let's go find it.

News Department Classroom.

Mira

Hello...

Hathor

Hmm? Do we have guests?

Hello.

Mira

What... are you doing? Am I disturbing you?

Hathor

Just wanted to stir up some news, no big deal.

And you are?

Mira

Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself.

I am Mira from the Detective Club, and this is Charlotte, my president.

Charlotte

Hello.

Hathor

The Detective Club... You are here for the Student Club photo, aren't you?

Mira

Are you also interested in detective works?

Hathor

No, it's just that recently, everyone visiting the News Department is here to see the photos. Let me confirm.

However, even though the photo and the person being helped are here, I don't think you'll get any useful intel.

Mira

Why?

Hathor

Because everyone in the photo has forgotten what happened.

The photographer doesn't remember when it was taken, and the person in the photo doesn't recall being helped by the bunny girl.

Mira

...Don't remember?

8. Guess

19 lines

Hathor took out the rumored photo.

The photo shows a campus corner, with a girl in a school uniform seemingly speaking with her head down. Across from her is a member of the rumored Student Club.

Because it was a sneak shot, more than half of the Student Club members were blocked by the wall. The only part that could be confirmed was a white-haired girl dressed in a bunny girl outfit.

Mira

Although it's confirmed that the Student Club member has white hair... there are just too many students with white hair in this school!

I can only go ask the girl in the photo.

Charlotte

Just a reminder, Hather from the News Department mentioned that the girl in the photo has already forgotten what happened.

Mira

She did say that, indeed.

But no matter how you think about it, this is kind of impossible, right?

I'm more inclined to believe that the News Department said this deliberately to hide the Student Club.

Charlotte

The photo is from the News Department.

Mira

Perhaps to them, the photo's also an accident?

No, if that's the case, it's even less likely for this photo to circulate around the school.

I remember you said, rule out all the impossible options, and whatever's left, no matter how unlikely, has to be the truth.

Is there really someone who can make others forget everything about themselves?

While speaking, a scent of roses drifted to Mira and Charlotte.

???

It's true.

Mira

This is beautiful...

Sorry for the intrusion, I'm Mira from the Detective Club, and this is our club president. We're investigating the truth behind the Student Club. May I ask who are you?

???

Me? I'm the person you see in the photo.

9. Big News?

News Department Classroom.

Mira

Well, Hathor.

Hathor

What's wrong?

Mira

I'm a bit curious, just a bit, you said earlier that you dressed up like this to stir up some news...

May I ask what the news is?

Hathor

This is not really a secret.

I want to create some scandals about Awakener teacher.

I am with the teacher.

Of course, if the teacher doesn't mind, turning the scandal into reality doesn't seem too bad.

Mira

Um...

I will inform the teacher to watch out for you.
