Chapter 30: The wise man shirks his responsibility
After Minister Iizuka left, there was an eerie silence in the ministry. It's an unexpectedly frustrated silence, even though the ministry aims to help others, to help others, and there should be no sense of victory or defeat in itself. However, for all the previous commissions, the ministry was successfully completed.
When you think about it, this is actually a very abnormal thing, with the ability of four ordinary students, of course, I don't deny that people like under the snow are capable, but in the face of all kinds of strange commissions, it is always smooth to solve them, which in itself is a very difficult thing.
But the ministry did it, and under the leadership of the snow, the ministry always completed the task flawlessly—of course, there were occasional outrageous practices, but in the end, the ministry was successfully completed. It also gives us the illusion that as long as the ministry undertakes the next commission, we should solve it all.
However, the question of the Light Music Club gave everyone a resounding slap in the face, not to mention the snow that was disrupted by Haruki Kitahara twice in a row, and even a person like Hikiya who didn't seem to care about these things had a somewhat embarrassed face. It's a collective frustration that belongs to the ministry ministry.
Although I don't think I'm overly arrogant under the snow or like Kiya, and I always warn myself not to be blinded by this fluke success, I also have some feelings of powerlessness right now. This is not only because the Ministry of Service did not complete the commission of the Light Music Club, but also because of Koki Sao's seniors, and because, in front of Kogi Yukina led by Kitahara Haruki, I don't have any room for maneuver.
Until now, I don't know why Kogi Senpai's predecessor at that time refused my request after the change, but what I do know is that the distance between me and my senior is now rapidly widening.
"So, what should we do now? If the problem of the Light Music Club is solved, will the Ministry of Service be suspended?" asked my sister with some cringe, she was still the one who cared most about whether the activities of the Ministry could be carried out now.
"If it is according to the plan of Biqigu just now, it should be like this, but before that, I need to ask your brother a question," Xue Xia held her head, and turned her head to look at me with some uncertainty, probably because of the previous frustration, this time she looked at me with not so strong oppressive force, and some were just deeply helpless," Senior Xiao Mu Yu, why did you join the Light Music Club, I remember you told me that she would never join the Light Music Club, and it was out of trust in you that I gave up this proposal. ”
"I want to know more than you why she did it. ”
"However, judging from your previous somewhat anxious performance, you should have known this news before we knew it, right?" Biqigu interjected.
"Sensing the potential possibility, it's two different things from Kogi Sao's predecessor officially joining the light music club, and when I knew that Kogi Sao's senior joined the light music club, that winter horse and yarn were still competing with Haruki Kitahara. Even if both of them joined, I couldn't have predicted that Fuyuma and Yarn would use such drastic tactics to create such an either/or situation. Are you going to blame me for the failure of this commission?"
- That's right, starting to shift the blame to each other, even smart people like Yukishita and Hikiya, the first choice when they encounter a setback is not to analyze what they did wrong, but to complain about what others didn't do.
Analyze the cause of the problem with the most precise attitude, and then find the main point, and then naturally put all the blame on one person. Human beings are such animals, especially intelligent people, because they are so good at analyzing the essence of the problem, so they can always use the most intelligent way to get rid of their responsibilities.
"Xiaohe, Xiaoxue and Xiaoqi, they just want to determine the problem, not to complain about you or anything-"
"-I know, I know I'm going to take responsibility for knowing this information but not reporting it in advance, but even if I report it, will you really take it seriously?
At least that's a wake-up call. Xue Xia said with a frown.
"But there is too much false information, and there is too much information that can be reported, the so-called alertness, do you really think that that information can be your wake-up call? For example, if I had inquired about a piece of information that 'Yanagihara Peng may still be reluctant to participate in the activities of the Light Sound Society', would you pay enough attention to it? You yourself know that if you want to pay attention to all the similar information, it will be over, of course you know this, but now you are just shirking responsibility. ”
"Xiaohe, what Xiaoxue means is that if you can tell her that information, she can make some precautionary plans, isn't it very reasonable?"
"Yui-san, do you really think it makes sense?" I asked with a little amusement as I looked at my sister, who probably didn't understand why I was so excited.
"Well, then, you have been blaming me for this problem, for not telling you important information. Let me give you a well-known example, the Cuban Missile Crisis during the Cold War, when the United States determined on 14 October 1962 that the Soviet Union had installed missiles in Cuba, but before 14 October, many of the actions of the United States Government were contrary to this conclusion: the United States Intelligence Committee concluded on 19 September that the Soviet Union would not deploy offensive missiles in Cuba; So. The question is, does this mean that the United States did not receive information about the possible deployment of missiles by the Soviet Union in Cuba before October 14?"
"Of course not, the United States has more information than everyone expected. The United States intelligence service, which monitored maritime transport, had reported sighting two Soviet log-carrying vessels carrying large items, CIA spies had seen the back half of a strategic missile, and U-2 reconnaissance planes had even flown photographs on 29 August, 5 September and 17 September indicating that the Soviet Union was building fortifications of SAM missiles and other defensive missiles — but with this information, on 19 September, the United States Intelligence Committee still did not believe that the Soviet Union would place offensive missiles in Cuba. ”
"Why is this happening? Because at the same time, there is a huge influx of other information, and the intelligence agencies need to analyze all the information and need further verification to determine the authenticity of the information. Fragmentary information does not tell the truth, which makes it slow to establish this information and take further action. ”
By the same token, in this case, the Ministry of Service is the equivalent of the intelligence agency of the United States. Of course, you could say that the ministry will be more efficient with less information to deal with. However, have you taken into account the time it takes to judge the authenticity of the information and further make a judgment on the possible threat posed by the information? At the beginning of the school year, you will listen to my persuasion and take targeted measures based on information that has not yet been confirmed? Two days ago, when I had just learned that Kitahara-senpai had successfully invited Kogi-senpai, would you be fully aware of the potential threat posed by this outcome? I even suspect that if I pointed out the danger of this result at the time, you would have laughed at me for making too much of a fuss because I cared about Kogi Senpai, right?"
"Of course, I did have a problem with not submitting information. But the question is, even if I submit this information, will you really value it? A piece of information that is almost certainly not taken too seriously will end up being a lifesaver for you—at the end of the day, it's just an excuse for your failures. Minister Yukishita, admitting defeat is not too humiliating, but it is a very humiliating thing to pass the buck too much for your own failure. ”
The expression on Xuexia's face is an extraordinarily embarrassed expression that I have never seen before, and what I just said is to further point out after her failure: don't try to shift the responsibility for failure to others, as a decision-maker, you have the greatest responsibility now.
The others didn't speak, or they didn't know how to answer my questions.
The white face under the snow slowly turned red with my questioning, and slowly returned to its original composure, her lips squirmed, and finally, softly, "I'm sorry." ”
"I don't need the minister to say I'm sorry, I said, I will take the responsibility I deserve, but what I don't like is that a smart person like the minister under the snow, when he encounters failure, the first thing he thinks of is to throw the blame, as the leader of the community, shirking responsibility at such a time, this is the most irresponsible performance. ”
- Because, I have had this experience, and I know better than anyone that the shirking of responsibility by a leader can cause harm to a collective.
"I'm sorry," Yukiki nodded sincerely again, "this time I did something wrong. I'll admit that even if you tell me this information, I won't necessarily pay enough attention to it, and the final result will probably continue to be planned in a step-by-step manner as at the beginning of the school year, and then the result will not change. ”
After saying this, Yukishita pursed her lips and asked me, as if with some uncertainty, "So, Yubihama, do you think there is any remedy now?"
"Is there any remedy here? Could it be that you mean to destroy the current composition of the Light Music Club, and then let Minister Iizuka turn to us again, isn't that helping, like Haruki Kitahara did, deliberately making a mess of the situation, and then intervening to save the world?"
"I didn't mean that," Xue Xia said with some confusion, "Well, I mean, you must not understand and are not satisfied with the fact that Kogi Senpai's participation in the light music club, right? ”
I looked at the snow with some surprise, I don't know if it was because I was hit by what I just said, now under the snow, there is no such domineering as before, and the attitude of speaking is also a lot softer-including the current style of actively trying to help me, which is not at all like the action of the snow under the snow before.
To be honest, I can't cope with this kind of snow.
"So, Xiaohe really doesn't know why Koki Yu's predecessor joined the light music club?" Sister Yui's unwilling voice was inserted into our conversation.
"I really don't know, I can feel that my senior is doing something related to me, but I don't know what my senior is trying to tell me?"
"If Xiao Mu Cao's predecessor wants to tell Xiao He something, then just say it to Xiao He, isn't it? Because seniors, well, Xiao Mu Yu's seniors, have a good relationship with Xiao He, isn't it?"
"It's been a bit awkward lately—"
"—But it's still good, isn't it?Kowa also said that if I can't find the feeling of a sister in me, I'll be comforted by Kogi Senpai. Although it makes me feel sad when Kowa says this, I really feel that if Koki-so-senpai can help Kowa like that, I will also be very happy. Now this little Mu Shu senior, compared to me, is not like a sister?" I don't know why, Sister Yui became excited.
"Yui-san—"
"——Senior Xiao Mu Cao, did she know that Xiao He didn't want her to join the Light Music Club, right? Xiao Mu She's senior should also clearly know that Xiao He deliberately didn't let her join the Light Music Club, this is Xiao He is understanding her and helping her, right?"
"I think she should know what I'm thinking. ”
"So, even though she knows Xiaohe's intentions, she still wants to join the light music club, still, do she want to trample on Xiaohe's intentions?"
"This should have something to do with my approach, my predecessor is so resolute, I should want to convey some information-"
"-So, if you want to convey the message, you have to tell Xiaohe from the beginning! Xiaohe's thoughts have already been told to Xiaomu Yu's seniors, why can't she tell Xiaohe's thoughts?"
I looked at my sister in a daze, at her flushed face.
"I originally thought that if Xiao Mu Yu's predecessor really treated Xiao He like a sister, then it would be okay for me to be complained about by Xiao He, but it's not like this, a real sister, no matter when, can not abandon her brother, if she abandons her brother, if she doesn't try to understand her brother's thoughts, but just let him try to guess his own thoughts, then she is not worthy of Xiao He's reliance!"
I can't understand Yui Yui now, but I feel like I understand Yui again.
Very hard, very persistent, although I don't know how to do it, but I have to do my best to help me, sister, she has always been like this, she has never changed.

250 votes plus more. To tell the truth, for this chapter and Kazuya's mouth, others are just unwilling to ask, is it really good that you hit Yukino's self-esteem to this extent? Yukino is shirking responsibility, aren't you also shirking responsibility for yourself? In addition, Sister Yui, who is holding up emotions and making big moves, is really good!
