In the end, the club application was submitted under the name "Paranormal Research Club."
The peculiar name "Sealed Club" was ultimately not used, as it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea from Shin.
Given the school's approval efficiency, the application would likely be approved by tomorrow, and Shin, as the club president, would receive the keys to the clubroom and even the budget.
Although Kato Megumi and others were a bit worried about whether the club application, which only listed four names, would pass the student council's review, Shin seemed completely unconcerned.
When submitting the application, Shin had already used the ability of "Black Bird Requiem" to fix the outcome. No matter what happened in between, the final result would be a smooth approval.
By the way, after the conversation at noon, Eriri also decided to have lunch with Shin and the others from now on.
"Every noon, a lot of people bother me. I just want to find a quiet place to eat—since you've decided to form a club specifically for lunch, I might as well join you."
That's what Eriri said.
Although it was obvious to everyone that Eriri was clearly coming for Shin, Kato Megumi and the others didn't object.
After all, it seemed that Eriri and Shin already had a fairly close relationship, so it was natural not to refuse her—and having Eriri join would also help clarify her true intentions.
Although Kato Megumi felt that she might have already been overtaken, as a "rival in love," gathering some information about them wasn't a bad idea, right?
...
"Miko seems to have returned to her old self."
In the hallway after school, Hana Yurikawa looked at Yotsuya Miko's expression, which seemed to have completely recovered, and felt genuinely happy for her.
Some time ago, Hana Yurikawa noticed that Miko's condition had suddenly worsened, as if she hadn't rested well for a long time, even developing dark circles under her eyes.
But in the past two days, Miko seemed to have finally recovered. Although she still got startled from time to time, at least she seemed to be able to sleep well now.
"That's true..."
Miko smiled. After awakening the ability to see evil spirits some time ago, she had been terrified, living in constant fear for a long time.
But now...
Bang!
While Miko and Hana Yurikawa were talking, a black Stand emerged from behind Miko and instantly shattered an evil spirit that was trying to crawl in through the hallway window.
Although the evil spirit's scream was piercing, Miko only felt a deep sense of satisfaction—these evil spirits had scared her so much before, and now she could finally get her revenge!
The fear that had been suppressed before seemed to have completely turned into a desire for revenge, making Miko feel as refreshed as if she were wearing new underwear on the morning of New Year's Day.
"Huh? Did something just happen?"
Although Hana Yurikawa couldn't see the Stand, she seemed to vaguely feel a gust of wind pass by her, and then Miko's expression seemed to brighten a bit.
Of course, she didn't know that the gust of wind was actually the shockwave from Miko's Stand's punch—although ordinary people couldn't touch the Stand, its attacks were real physical strikes.
"Nothing, just a mosquito flew by."
Miko's face carried a faint smile, as if she hadn't just shattered an evil spirit.
As she and Hana Yurikawa continued walking toward the stairs, two student council seniors passed by—they seemed to be holding a club application.
"What should we do about Shin's club application?"
"There's no way... it's one person short. According to the rules, it can't be approved."
The two student council seniors' discussion was overheard by Miko, who paused in her steps.
"Miko?"
Seeing Miko suddenly stop, Hana Yurikawa turned back in confusion and saw Miko catch up to the two student council seniors who had just passed by:
"Excuse me, seniors, I overheard you talking about Shin's club?"
The two seniors holding the club application looked at Miko in confusion. After hearing her question, they exchanged glances and hesitated for a moment.
"I'm friends with Shin, so I was just curious."
Seeing the seniors' puzzled expressions, Miko quickly explained.
Miko wasn't exactly lying—she and Shin were indeed friends, though their relationship might be a bit more special. After all, according to their agreement, Miko would have to listen to Shin from now on.
It sounded a bit like a pet and its owner.
Seeing that Miko didn't seem to be lying, the two seniors finally answered:
"Yes, Shin applied to start a club, but the minimum number of members is five, and there are only four names listed here."
With that, the senior handed the club application to Miko.
Miko's heart skipped a beat when she saw the application—the club's name was clearly written as "Paranormal Research Club."
Almost instantly, Miko thought of her own experiences.
Although she didn't know if Shin's decision to start this club was related to her, she felt that since Shin had helped her, she should repay him in some way.
And now, in a sense, she was already Shin's person, so she said to the two seniors:
"Um... could you add my name to the list? I'd like to join this club too. That should make the number of members sufficient, right?"
The two seniors looked at each other—this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
"What should we do? Should we agree?"
"If we don't agree, we'll have to reject Shin's club application... Do you want to tell him?"
"...No way. Should we just agree then?"
The two seniors whispered to each other, but it was clear that neither wanted to be the one to tell Shin that his application had been rejected.
After all, Shin was very handsome, and the two seniors clearly had a good impression of him. They didn't want to leave a bad impression over something like this.
So after some hesitation, they agreed to let Miko add her name to the club application.
With that, including Shin, Kato Megumi, Gotou Hitori, and Kita Ikuyo, the list now had five names, and the club could be officially established.
Just as the outcome fixed by "Black Bird Requiem" had determined, although the process might have some twists and turns, the result would not change.
