I overcame many difficulties...
The circle I'm organizing has been launched!!
"It was long!!"
The sense of accomplishment was so great that cheers erupted.
Because it's been really hard up until now.
He negotiates with the student council to get permission to start a club, and in order to meet the conditions, he devotes himself to numerous volunteer activities...
They clean, dredge gutters, enforce discipline, and confront scientists...
The titles were varied, but it's amusing to note that the content seems to be all about sex.
And in the end, it almost turned into a power struggle with the student council.
After overcoming all of these obstacles, we finally received official permission to start the club!
And then we actually started a club!
We've finally made it this far!
I can really feel that my efforts have paid off!
"...in..."
....
Yeah.
Why did I start a club?
Perhaps because the journey was so difficult, I had completely forgotten the purpose of my destination.
"Why did I think I needed a circle? What would happen after I started one? What is my purpose? What is my dream? Who am I? Am I... a dog?"
"Please don't lose yourself."
Just when he was on the verge of losing sight of his own purpose in life, he was rescued by Lady Starf.
"Well, considering the trouble it caused, it wasn't a very good motive, so it's no wonder people forgot about it. Look, I've brought the culprit here."
"Thank you so much!!"
Oh dear.
Spear senpai, who is a final year student, as well as Flamea senpai, Vouge senpai, and Tuck senpai?
That's right, the club was started at her request!
"We need subsidies for these people who are poor. That's why we started the club, right? It's no wonder you don't remember such a silly reason."
"Miss Staaf...?"
Doesn't it seem a bit harsh today?
"It can't be helped. It seems that the young lady has some strong feelings towards those seniors."
Caliba-san spoke as if to complement me.
Lady Staaf's dream for the future is to follow in her father's footsteps and become a great lord.
From the young lady's perspective, the central aristocrats, who were in exactly the same position and had the same responsibilities to fulfill, but who only cared about the reputation of their nobility and were only concerned with making themselves look good, were nothing but objects of despise.
Furthermore, this has led to her neglecting the management of her territory and causing her financial problems, which is completely unacceptable for Lady Staaf who aspires to be a proper lord.
He had been a bit angry when the idea of "starting a club" first came up, but it seems his anger is still lingering...
"But despite that, you really helped me out a lot when I was facing the student council president..."
"Of course. I'll do anything for my beloved Sao-san. In comparison, these people are so brazen, taking advantage of Sao-san's status as their sex slave to get their way!"
The anger is doubled...!?
And so, the upperclassmen whose request was granted...
"Thank you very much for this opportunity...!"
"I'll do my best to repay your kindness...!?"
"As a token of my gratitude, I don't mind if you treat us as your sex slaves for the rest of your lives...!"
"I will offer my lifelong loyalty and the right to use my uterus to you, Sao-san!!"
Combined with Lady Starf's anger, he acted quite submissively.
Well, you don't have to take it too seriously.
For me, the greatest bliss is seeing my female slave happy.
"Thao-san is infinitely kind, but relying on him will not benefit you in the future! In order to rid this country of incompetent lords, I will reform your character!"
"Don't be too strict...!?"
"Mr. Thao is being too spoiled!!"
It seemed like the couple was fighting over their children's education.
"So, I guess that's going to be the club's management policy from now on?"
Everyone's attention was focused on Caliba-nee-san's casual remark.
Receiving those multiple gazes, Nee-san...
"Should I take off my clothes?"
"There's no rule in the world that says you have to get naked if you're being watched, sis?"
Instead, get back on track.
"What is the club's management policy? Surely it's not just about setting it up and then leaving it at that?"
It was exactly as my sister had said.
A club is a group of people on campus who share the same interests and who come together to do activities. A club that isn't active is as good as not existing.
Their biggest goal was to obtain club activity fees for the Spear seniors, whose families were in financial difficulty, to help pay their tuition fees.
However, the reason is so obvious that it is difficult to cite it as a legitimate argument.
I feel like we discussed whether there was some kind of pretense behind it when the idea was first proposed.
"In the end, the decision was made to actually launch it first, so it was postponed, right? But now that it has actually been launched, it's impossible not to look away…"
Club activities...
What on earth should I do?
"So it's a sex club after all, isn't it? It's a club run by Sao, after all?"
Sister Caliba said while brandishing her beloved spear, Dragonfly Killer.
Spear sir.
"So a sex club can't be a pretext. It's a dirty purpose that needs to be covered up with a pretext and can't be made public…!?"
"Hehehe...There's nothing to worry about there, Sao-san...!"
What's the matter, Miss Staaf?
Is this a brilliant idea for publicizing sex clubs?
"That's not it. I have some ideas prepared for the club's activities!"
Wha-what?!
"Sao-san was busy with volunteer work and had some free time. I used that time to look into various things. I thought it might help me out in the future."
Lady Staaf!!
You're so considerate and go to such lengths for me!
"I'm the one who should be taking the initiative as your servant, so I'm really grateful!"
"Sao-san is more than just a servant; she's my precious lover... it's only natural that I want to be of help to her♥♥"
A young lady who ends her sentences with a heart mark even when she's not having sex.
He is gradually becoming stronger.
"So, I looked into it together with Caliba-san... and something became clear. First of all, the purpose of starting a club in the first place was to make money, right?"
"How to say it"
Well, it all started with the idea of getting money for club activities for the struggling Spear seniors.
If you're after the money, then it's after the money...!?
"So I thought, if it all starts with money, why not continue the club activities with the goal of making money as well?"
"The world is so cruel."
"Money is important. Love and dreams are important, but you can only talk about them if you are financially secure. Financial security is like a foundation that lifts people to higher levels. Those who look seriously at the unfathomable future are the ones who are keenly aware of the need for money."
I got a glimpse into the extremely realistic thinking of Lady Staaf.
Well, if you consider the fact that you will become a feudal lord in the future and support the lives of tens of millions of people, it is certainly reassuring to have your feet on the ground thinking like that.
"So what we're proposing is this club activity."
My sister took over and explained.
"Adventurer's Circle!"
....
An adventurer party, right?
"It's a club, since it's a way for students to pretend to be adventurers. At our school, we do things like dungeon training and have a curriculum where you can experience the work of an adventurer, right?"
"Taking it a step further, there seems to be a club activity where students voluntarily train to become adventurers. There are even second and third sons of nobles, and even commoner students who want to become adventurers after graduating, so it seems to be a fairly popular club activity."
"There are several similar circles, but they seem to be divided into groups with specific objectives, so the addition of new circles doesn't seem to be seen as a problem. That's also an advantage for new circles."
"It seems that adventurers' circles branch out into those whose main purpose is to defeat monsters, and those whose main purpose is to conquer dungeons. Furthermore, even within the dungeon conquering circles, they are apparently divided into smaller circles based on area."
The alternating explanations from Sister Caliba and Lady Starf make it much easier to understand.
We know that adventurer circles give an advantage to newcomers, but what about the money they splash out at the start?
You're pursuing money through club activities in order to get money for the Spear seniors' tuition fees, right?
"Sao-san... do you remember? When we went to another town for dungeon training?"
"Oh? Yes, yes?"
It was one of the courses I took in my first year.
In order to experience the work of a professional adventurer, they dived into a real dungeon outside of school and explored the dungeon just like a professional adventurer.
It brings back memories, even though it was just last year.
"Sao-san made a mistake that time too. Apparently the materials he brought back from just one exploration were equivalent to the amount of material produced in that dungeon for six months."
"Oh, yes...! Did that happen...!?"
I still regret that I was trying too hard at the time.
"The materials, both of which were of such high quality and quantity, were converted into cash, resulting in a huge sum of money. I gave the majority of it to the Dungeon Management Guild as a reward and compensation, but I still had a considerable amount left over."
"Oh, I don't know that."
What happened to the money I had left?
"Bloom-san, who accompanied me on the training, and I split the profits between us. It's a welcome extra income for running the territory♥♥"
"Umm!?"
The truth is that the person who made it all is completely unaware!
Well, I act as Lady Staaf's bodyguard, so the final financial ownership goes to her.
After that, he accepted the Porter girls and accommodated some pretty unreasonable requests.
"Don't you understand? I'm going to do the same thing again."
"ah...!?"
"I'll go into the dungeon again and gather as many materials as I can! The school policy is that any profits earned from club activities can be put into our pockets as expenses for our next activity!"
Well, that's also based on the assumption that, since it's just student "pretend play," any profit made will be minimal.
But when it comes to us doing it, it's a different story.
It's already been proven, so when we start searching for the dungeon, it's safe to say that mountains of gold will start moving along with us.
"That's good, my lady. I love getting paid too."
"As expected of Mr. Sao! I can understand what you're saying!"
That's settled then.
Our club will operate as an "adventurer club" that makes a killing in the dungeons!!
Come to think of it, I haven't done any dungeon training since that time last year.
I was actually planning to do more, but maybe I can see this as a good opportunity to start again!
"Please wait a moment."
It's rude to stop the flow that has just begun.
It was from Spier, a senior student.
"I am against that idea. I have to say it is a shameful act for a nobleman to do."
"sordid?"
"But isn't that right? Nobles are those who serve Her Majesty the Queen with pride. For them to be so obsessed with making money is something only commoners would do. Nobles should be distinguished from commoners...!"
Although they have now reconciled, the Spier seniors are former members of the Suppapan seminar.
It seems that the awareness of separating commoners and nobles still remains.
Whether that's good or bad is another matter.
"...Caliba-san."
"roger that"
Using telepathy, Caliba-nee-san swung her beloved spear and unleashed a shock wave, scattering Spear-senpai and the others.
…What skill is that?
"Who do you think this was planned for?"
Then Lady Starf takes on the appearance of a Myo-o.
"I racked my brains to do all this to line your pockets, didn't I? It wasn't for your sake. I was thinking of the people who had to live under a dissolute lord like you!"
A bountiful lord is better than a dissolute lord...
"Is that okay?! We nobles must protect the lives of our citizens! If we need money to do that, then we have to work hard to earn it! That is the duty of nobles! Only by doing that can we protect the pride of the nobility. Don't complain!"
"S-sorry!?"
"The people in the center have a misunderstanding of what noble pride is! Through our club activities, we will correct that mistake!"
Lady Staaf is on fire.
This club activity is likely to be meaningful in many ways.
But for now, let's focus our efforts on the dungeons.
