Yukinoshita's Correction Method
[I'll lash you twice]
[Count me in]

"Great, great, great!" Iroha Isshiki browsed through the various comments, feeling refreshed and invigorated; all her recent frustrations had vanished. "What's the next stage?"
Saki Kawasaki saw the excitement in her eyes. "It seems like you're more interested in watching the fun than in organizing the dance."
"Oh right, there's also the ball." Iroha Isshiki smiled sheepishly. "I almost forgot."
"The fourth stage is the most likely to get out of control. When there is no response for a long time, everyone's anger will continue to build up." Yukino Yukinoshita's expression had become serious. As she spoke, she switched between web pages to check various related information. "Group discussions can trigger Risk Transfer Effect, leading to the emergence of more radical solutions."
Yui Yuigahama, not understanding, asked, "Risk Transfer Effect?"
"When people discuss things together, they tend to take more risky actions than when making decisions individually," Dong Yunshan explained. "This is because responsibility is dispersed, and the mentality of 'the law doesn't punish everyone' begins to take effect."
"So..." Komachi Hikigaya realized the gravity of the situation, "It's really going to get to the point of bloodshed?"
"No, the content of group discussions may tend to be radical, but the actual actions of the group will tend to be conservative, so the risk is within a controllable range." Yukino Yukinoshita gently shook her head. "Moreover, before it develops to that extent, the school will take appropriate action to prevent the situation from deteriorating further."
"Corresponding actions...?" Iroha Isshiki clapped her hands. "Like, letting the ball continue?"
"If we can achieve our goal directly, that would be the best outcome." Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her cold eyes slightly. "If that's not possible... then we'll have to proceed with the next step of the plan."
"So now we're just waiting for the school to take action," Iroha Isshiki asked impatiently. "How long exactly will we have to wait?"
Dong Yunshan made an OK sign.
"Three days?!" Iroha Isshiki frowned. "That means there won't be much time left to prepare for the ball."
Dong Yunshan changed the OK sign to a V-sign.
"Two days..." Iroha Isshiki, "That's a bit of a stretch."
Dong Yunshan held up one finger. "One."
Iroha Isshiki: "Huh?"
Ta-da...
The crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor approached rapidly, and the activity room door was suddenly pulled open.
"I knew you'd be here." Shizuka Hiratsuka said breathlessly, staring at Iroha Isshiki. "The school wants to talk to the Student Council."
"Huh? The Student Council?" Iroha Isshiki pointed to herself incredulously. "Me?"
"Yes." Shizuka Hiratsuka breath. "Do you know how to talk to them?"
Iroha Isshiki, then honestly admitted, "... I don't know."
"That's right." Shizuka Hiratsuka raised her hand and slapped Iroha Isshiki on the shoulder, lowering her voice and speaking solemnly, "You didn't say anything, you didn't do anything, you didn't know anything."
"Huh? Oh~" Iroha Isshiki understood immediately, blinking her big eyes with a look of innocent confusion. "I've been busy with self-discipline lately, what happened?"
"I don't know either. I don't pay attention to information online." Shizuka Hiratsuka shrugged. "Let's go."
"Wait a minute," Yukino Yukinoshita spoke up. "Iroha Isshiki, if the school asks you to do anything outside of the prom, remember the core of the plan that Yunshan mentioned—obedience. So don't refuse, and don't make any promises."
"I'll try..." Iroha Isshiki carefully chose her words, "Do my best?"
"Very good." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded approvingly, watched Iroha Isshiki Shizuka Hiratsuka leave, and then turned her gaze back to the computer screen.
The mouse cursor clicked on an event planning document.
Chapter 806 After Warmth
"Ahem." Dong Yunshan coughed lightly twice. "There's another important matter today."
"Huh?" Komachi Hikigaya asked worriedly, "There's more?"
"Hmm." Dong Yunshan reached into her schoolbag, then suddenly pulled her hand out. "Happy birthday, Komachi!"
Komachi Hikigaya saw the gift box in Dong Yunshan's hand. "Huh?"
Yukino Yukinoshita also took out the gift she had prepared. "Happy birthday."
"And mine too!" Yui Yuigahama placed the gift in front of Komachi Hikigaya. "Happy birthday~"
"Happy birthday." Saki Kawasaki handed the gift to Komachi Hikigaya, then offered her a freshly prepared drink, "Plus a special birthday drink."
"Everyone..." Staring at the gifts in front of Komachi Hikigaya was stunned for a long time. "I've been working so hard lately, and everyone still prepared gifts for me..."
"I was originally planning a birthday party..." Dong Yunshan smiled, "But you said before that you always spend your birthdays with your family."
"Especially this year, your brother and I both just passed our entrance exams, so this birthday is even more meaningful than in the past," Saki Kawasaki added. "That's why I only prepared a gift."
"As for the birthday party," Yui Yuigahama Komachi Hikigaya's shoulder, "Let's have one later when it's a suitable time."
"You can come to our house sometime." Yukino Yukinoshita and Dong Yunshan exchanged a glance. "I'll cook with Yunshan."
"To receive such a surprise at such a touching moment..." Komachi Hikigaya gasped softly, "If you say any more, I'm going to cry."
"I'm not saying anything more, I'm not saying anything more." Dong Yunshan waved her hand. "Happy birthday!"
"Mmm~" Komachi Hikigaya's eyes sparkled as she smiled sweetly, "But seriously... everyone's been working so hard lately, and you still went to the trouble of preparing a gift for me..."
Yukino Yukinoshita gently shook her head. "The harder the times, the more we must not forget why we are working so hard."
Dong Yunshan nodded in agreement. "Seeing such a lovely smile makes all the hard work worthwhile."
"It's better not to work too hard." Komachi Hikigaya puffed out Komachi chest and held up her finger. "That last line got a high score from Komachi!"
The heavy atmosphere that vaguely lingered in the Service Club seemed to thin out even more amidst the smiles.
After finishing her birthday drink, Komachi Hikigaya left first to go home and celebrate her birthday with her family.
Saki Kawasaki had to pick up her younger sister from kindergarten, so she left a little early as well.
As it was nearing the end of the school term, Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Yui Yuigahama remained in the activity room, waiting for news from Iroha Isshiki.
"I'm so angry!" Iroha Isshiki flung open the door. "This is just too much..."
"Calm down." Shizuka Hiratsuka followed him into the activity room, closing the door behind her. "At least keep your voices down."
Yui Yuigahama couldn't understand. "Things have come to this point, and the school still doesn't agree to continue holding the dance?"
"More than that!" Iroha Isshiki clicked her tongue. "The school said this situation arose because the Student Council was going to hold a dance. Now that the dance is canceled, they have more time to deal with the current public opinion issues!"
Yui Yuigahama was stunned for a moment. "Huh? But wasn't canceling the dance a school requirement?"
"Self-restraint," Shizuka Hiratsuka reminded them. "The school hasn't asked us to cancel."
"But... this... ah?" Yui Yuigahama was momentarily speechless, instantly gaining a deeper and more intuitive understanding of the meaning of [self-restraint].
"Since the school didn't ask the Student Council to cancel the dance, the cancellation was the Student Council's decision, and the resulting public opinion problems are the Student Council's responsibility." Iroha Isshiki gritted her teeth, "These..."
"Iroha Isshiki." Shizuka Hiratsuka pressed her shoulder. "Everyone thinks the same way you do, so there's no need to say anything that would damage your image."
"Inhale--exhale--~" Iroha Isshiki took several deep breaths. "I used to think that people I disliked were sick, but this is the first time I've felt that someone who's sick looks like a human."
Japanese literature teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka: "... That's good, you didn't waste your time learning Japanese."
Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if suffering from a headache. "It really is exactly as you said..."
"All non-stick pans in the workplace are the same." Dong Yunshan was unsurprised. "It's perfectly normal for adults who demand self-discipline from high school students to do something like this."
"But..." Yui Yuigahama realized the crux of the problem, "If we can't hold the ball, how do we resolve the current public opinion issues?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was icy. "No need to resolve this."
Yui Yuigahama's eyes widened. "You don't need it?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka patted Iroha Isshiki's head. "Once the person responsible is identified, just punish them for their poor performance afterwards."
Yui Yuigahama murmured absentmindedly, "How could this happen... Shouldn't we be trying to solve the problem?"
"We should try to find a solution." Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed deeply. She really didn't want to talk about this with her students. "But the school also has no way to solve the problem, so they can only use another method to shift the responsibility. Of course, there will be corresponding compensation privately."
Iroha Isshiki's attitude was firm. "I don't want to!"
"Yes, we don't want compensation," Dong Yunshan sneered. "What we want is funding."
Iroha Isshiki was taken aback. "Funding? What funding?"
"Didn't the school administration tell the Student Council to solve the problem?" Dong Yunshan reminded them, "But the Student Council's budget has all been used for the dance preparations. If they want to resolve the public opinion issue, they will naturally need to apply for a new budget."
"Without a budget, the problem can't be solved." Yukino Yukinoshita scoffed. "To solve the problem, you need a budget."
"You think this is possible? I can ask for as much as I want, and the school has to approve it..." Iroha Isshiki revealed a cruel smile. "I want five hundred million!"
"Calm down," Shizuka Hiratsuka said helplessly, pressing down on Iroha Isshiki. "Didn't this number surprise you?"
"I'm just saying, if the amount is really outrageous, the school can reasonably refuse." Iroha Isshiki had heard this too many times lately and wanted to say it herself, "What do we do after we get the funding?"
"Of course, it's about solving the problem." Yukino Yukinoshita pointed to the event plan on the computer. "Use this event to resolve the public opinion issue and ensure the ball goes smoothly."
"Little Snowflake Check-In Campaign?" Iroha Isshiki quickly skimmed through the proposal, her eyes lighting up. "No wonder the core of the plan is obedience... So that's how it is!"
PS: Ten chapters complete.
I've finally fulfilled my promise.
I've always wanted to thank everyone for their support and kindness, but I always felt I should do something concrete.
But due to various reasons, it never came to fruition.
Now I can finally say that sentence:
Thank you so much for your support! I'll be updating ten times to repay your kindness!
Happy New Year!!! ╰(*°▽°*)╯

"Hmm... it's indeed a good promotional campaign." Haruno Yukinoshita immediately recognized that the proposal was written by her younger sister. "Just modify the event page we prepared earlier, and we can start right away."
"The school also sees this as a good opportunity to break the public opinion against Sobu High School for suppressing student autonomy, and they approved my budget request." Iroha Isshiki smiled smugly. "So... Haruno Yukinoshita, could you help Sobu High School with some arrangements during the event?"
"Manipulation? That won't do. The event organizers can't show any favoritism... at least not now." Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth turned up. "However, we can register an official account for the Sobu High School Student Council on Little Snowflake, then share the event and offer additional prizes to the winning students from our school to motivate them."
"Is that even possible? Then we'll have to spend the budget on bonus prizes." Iroha Isshiki muttered softly, "I was originally planning to use it for the ball..."
