Chapter Twenty-Nine: Failed Mandate
Minister Iizuka's face was a little solemn, and with reference to the purpose of his visit, I could only conclude that "the current wooing work is not going well."
Of course, there was another potentially more terrible possibility that I deliberately ignored, and by this time, I could only trust Minister Iizuka more in his responsibility to the Ministry of Service, and I could not beg for more results.
"Actually, the situation of pulling people is relatively smooth," just like a strong man who was killed by the neck, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and spoke," I've re-established contact with some of the members who have a good relationship with me, some of whom are for Yanagihara-san's side, and some of them are against Yanagihara-san's side, and of course, they are also aware of the general atmosphere of the cultural festival, so they are somewhat tempted, and they also said that as long as Yanagihara-san's requirements are not excessive, then they will come back, and if Haruki can help, they should be able to participate in the cultural festival performance in time. โ
"Isn't that a good result, how do you look like you're not going well?" asked Yuki, raising an eyebrow.
"The problem is that it's going too well, and it's on my side, and that, too, and Haruki's side. Minister Iizuka sighed and replied.
I turned my head, the so-called worst possibility, did it appear at this time? I had hoped that Fuyuma and Sa's tsundere attributes would continue to play a role, and I would delay for a while, so it seems that almost after Kogi Sao's seniors joined the light music club, Fuyuma and Saya immediately compromised.
Please, don't compromise so quickly because you express your dissatisfaction with Kitahara's predecessors joining the club!
"Haruki Kitahara?" Obviously, the accident at the executive committee meeting just now had made Yukishita fully wary of Kitahara-senpai, so this time, when Minister Iizuka mentioned his name, she immediately reacted.
"Well, it's Haruki," the annoyed minister himself obviously didn't distinguish Yuki's reaction to hearing Kitahara's senpai's name a little more excited than usual, he just continued with some embarrassment, "Well, Haruki recruited two new members for our show, well, one is a singer and the other is a performer, and the strength of those two is too outstanding, so I don't want to give up." โ
"Then it's okay if you don't give up," Xue Xia breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "It's unlikely that you can go on stage and perform just by relying on the four of you, right? The number of people who use musical instruments is not enough, isn't it? This doesn't affect you from continuing to win over other members, of course, the possibility of winning over Yanagihara-san is not high, but there are always some people who disliked Yanagihara-san who will be willing to come back, isn't it?"
"That's right!" Minister Iizuka said with a sad face, "It's okay to talk to the singer from Haruki, but the problem is that the performer, she's really good, but she's a little messy." The first request after joining was to let Haruki be in charge of the guitar and so on, and she also asked the new recruits to go through her review, saying that "if you don't match my level, don't come to play". This attitude is so arrogant that I don't even dare to explain it to the members who are interested in coming back. โ
"But Kitahara's guitar level should be one of the worst in the club, isn't it?Fuyuma, well, that new musician will allow Kitahara-senpai to be mainly in charge of the guitar?"
"On this point," Iizuka Senpai looked at me suspiciously, and the words I had just inadvertently said obviously made him a little suspicious, "That person means that she will give Haruki special training, and Haruki himself agreed, that guy is definitely a hard worker, and it is not impossible to pass special training and then make a qualitative leap in guitar level, so this is not a thing to worry about." โ
I can understand this, with the character of Fuyuma and Sasa, if you really want to have special training, it must be Spartan-style special training, and with the kind of hard work of Kitahara's predecessors, as Minister Iizuka said, the result will not be unsatisfactory.
"According to your statement, there may be irreconcilable contradictions between the two new members and the members you have recruited before, right?" The voice under the snow became cold, and it was obvious that such a two-choice result would actually mean the failure of the work of the Ministry of Ministers.
"So, I mean, if I could change the commission, I wondered if I could find a way to ease the relationship between the new members and the members who were interested in returning, after all, I still want to be able to get everyone to participate in the festival. Minister Iizuka slurred his commission.
"Can't do it, right?" Bi Qigu in the corner was the first to speak, he had discussed this matter with me before, obviously, he was also very concerned about solving the problem now, "Needless to say, how resolute the new musician is, isn't the way she just came to the Light Music Club similar to the wanton and willful approach of Yanagihara-san before? Of course, I know you can explain that she will train that Haruki Kitahara well, but in the eyes of others, it is not like this, right? I would rather give up the existing guitar master, but also train the people who have a good relationship with me to push the stage, this kind of practice will not satisfy the previous members in any way, right? After the Yanagihara Peng incident, an even more exaggerated Yanagiyuan Peng appeared in the club, and they would definitely not be willing to repeat the mistakes of the past. So, at least from this commission, the new performer and your old members, they're an either/or relationship. โ
"What Bi Qi Gu said is not wrong," Glance at Bi Qi Gu under the snow, as if surprised by how much he said now, but she quickly continued, "So from my personal opinion, if you are not willing to give up your previous members, then at least please fire this new player, just like the previous Yanagihara Peng, the instability in the team, it is better to remove it first, I don't know what Iizuka Senpai thinks." โ
"It's very difficult!" Minister Iizuka waved his hand helplessly, "When Haruki pulled the two new members in, the three of them were one, and the singer's attitude was also very clear, although she didn't have any requirements for the others, but if the player quit, she would quit too, and I was a little embarrassed to expel the two new members who Haruki pulled over like this." โ
"-Are you more embarrassed to fire the newcomers than a bunch of your good friends?According to our original plan, we can almost recruit Yanagihara friends now, that is, even if we give up those two newcomers, the light music club can perform as usual-or," Xue Xia raised his head and asked seriously, "How good are those two newcomers that you absolutely can't bear to give up on them, and with two people, you can compete with more than a dozen people, including Yanagihara-san, what kind of character is this?"
"I really don't want to give up on the two of them," Minister Iizuka looked up and told him what I already knew, but the rest of the ministry didn't yet have, "Those two newcomers were both people that Haruki had used a lot of effort to dig up. The performer is Fuyuma and Sasa, who have just transferred from the music department to the general department, but it is said that she won the first place in the piano national competition in the first grade, and she is a rare genius in the music department. As for the singer, it's Yukina Kogi, you should all have heard of this, right?The winner of the Miss General Martial Arts High School for two consecutive years, Kaolin Hana of the school who is expected to achieve an unprecedented triple crown this year, honestly, she is willing to participate in club activities, and I am more surprised than that Fuyuma and Sasa, so, if possible, I still don't want to give up- uh, what's going on?"
Minister Iizuka's account slowly turned to surprise, and I knew that it was because by the time he said the end, Yukishita and my sister had already looked at me with strange eyes, and even Hikiya, who didn't know much about this aspect, threw curious glances at me under the gaze of the other two.
Inviting Yukina Kogi, whether it's Yui-san or under the snow, was the first choice they took to solve the problem of the Light Music Clubโbut this choice was completely denied by me at the time. Out of trust in me, and because I firmly believed that Kogi Senpai would not participate in the light music club, the two of them gave up on this tempting solution.
But now, the fact that Kogi Senpai-senpai joined the Light Music Club because of the invitation of Haruki Kitahara is undoubtedly the greatest irony of my conceit at the time.
If the expression under the snow was just ordinary doubts and slight regrets, my sister's gaze at me contained deeper worries and incomprehension.
Compared to under the snow, Sister Yui should know better about my relationship with Xiao Mu Yu's predecessors, so under my slightly gloomy face now, she should be more aware of my unwillingness to this matter.
"Uh, what's the problem with Kazuya?" Minister Iizuka looked at me in confusion.
"So, did Yubihama know about this beforehand?" Hikiya tilted his head and asked, "Not long ago, you emphasized in the classroom of the Ministry that we need to speed up the completion of the commission, because you already knew about the accident of the Light Music Club. โ
"At that time, this accident had not happened, and in fact I did not think that the possibility of it was very high, which is why I did not argue with you afterwards, but the development of events after that was completely beyond my expectations. โ
"So, Xiaohe's emotions at that time were because of Koki Yu's seniors-"
"Sister!" I interrupted with a warning glance in Yui's direction. My sister reluctantly stopped, but after that, her sad or somewhat angry eyes kept rolling over me, and she never stopped.
"So, the same is true of Isshiki-san's affairs-" Yukishita nodded thoughtfully, but compared to her sister, her vigilance seemed to be stronger, and after understanding the situation, she wisely closed her mouth, her eyes were a little erratic, not knowing what she was thinking.
Seeing that because of his words, the center of the topic of the Ministry of Service inexplicably changed from his own commission to Yubihama Kazuya, which obviously made Minister Iizuka a little depressed, but he quickly sorted out his emotions.
"So, do you think there is still a chance to solve this problem?"
Minister Iizuka's words made everyone who seemed to be a little distracted just now suddenly react.
In the end, it was Minister Yukishita: "From my personal point of view, there is no room for solving this problem, and we fully understand your unwillingness to give up on the two newcomers. But there is no doubt that your two newcomers and your old members are diametrically opposed, this is a simple matter of choosing one or the other, since you are not willing to give up the new members, then you don't have to recruit your old members, four people form an orchestra, although it is a little difficult, but it is not impossible, right? With the strict attitude of that Fuyuma and Sasa, she must have prepared for this situation, right? So, Iizuka Senpai, congratulations, your commission has been completed. โ
"That's true, but in this way," Minister Iizuka rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, "it's like I've asked you to do so many things, but in the end nothing has the same result, and I feel very embarrassed in the end." โ
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about," at that moment, I saw that the face under the snow changed slightly, but she quickly changed to that businesslike tone again, "Helping you guys, solving problems with you is what the Ministry of Service should do, we did everything we could, but if you were able to solve the problem itself by other means, the Ministry of Service didn't have much to say, after all, the final result was achieved, then that's fine." โ
The ministry helps people solve problems, so if someone else helps you solve the problem, then the ministry will be more than happy to see the resultโthat's what the snow says.
But I believe she doesn't think so.
For her, if the ministry is not the first to resolve the commission, it is a failure. And this time, the commission of the Light Music Club, although Minister Iizuka did not directly withdraw the commission, Yukishita's initiative to propose the termination of the commission, but it was still a failure.
And, as I predicted before, in one day, Yukino lost to Haruki Kitahara twice in a row.
Although Haruki Kitahara may not have targeted Minister Yukishita, it must have been a heavy blow to Yukishita, who has always been arrogant.
