Yukinoshita's Correction Method Chapter 473
"As the Student Council president, I can't misappropriate the budget." Saki Kawasaki paused, "At least not now."
"I understand, things have been a bit tense lately." Iroha Isshiki nodded. "But isn't this intention a bit too obvious?"
Many people on Little Snowflake (a Chinese online forum) are criticizing Sobu High School for suppressing students' autonomy. Now the Student Council has come out to support the interest-based check-in activity, which is clearly a response to these criticisms.
"Remember the Christmas event from before?" Dong Yunshan reminded us, "We collaborated with the Student Council of Seaside Comprehensive High School back then. We contacted them to register first, and then we followed suit, which made it seem less deliberate."
"The beach..." Iroha Isshiki felt a headache coming on just thinking about it. Their previous collaboration hadn't been a pleasant experience. "Will they even participate? There's absolutely no need for them to participate."
The Seaside Comprehensive High School is not facing the current public opinion storm that Sobu High School.
"In fact, it is very necessary for Seaside Comprehensive High School to participate." Yukino Yukinoshita explained in detail, "Seaside Comprehensive High School, which was re-established after the merger of three schools, is less experienced than Sobu High School, and it needs such activities to attract students."
"When students share their interests and hobbies, they inevitably showcase the school." Komachi Hikigaya nodded in deep agreement. "The Seaside Comprehensive High School has a larger campus, more luxurious facilities, and more beautiful buildings. There are even elevators in the buildings, and attendance is taken directly by ID cards—but these are things that are difficult for outsiders to see. This check-in activity is a great opportunity to showcase it."
"Alright, I'll tell them that." Iroha Isshiki took out her phone. "I'll contact them now."
Dong Yunshan also took out her phone. "Just to be on the safe side, I'll contact a few more friends from other high schools to get as many schools involved as possible."
Yui Yuigahama also wanted to help. "I'll talk to the other classmates and tell them to prepare in advance."
"If we just say it directly, it might not be so easy to understand," Komachi Hikigaya it a form of promotion."
"That's a good idea." Saki Kawasaki glanced at the beverage mixing tools in the activity room. "Why don't we start with me?"
Seeing Komachi Hikigaya raise her phone to find the right angle, Saki Kawasaki pondered for a moment and skillfully selected the appropriate material.
Fill a glass about halfway with ice cubes. Slowly pour blue citrus syrup along the side of the glass until it is about a quarter full. In a sealed glass, mix orange juice and grenadine syrup. Using the back of a spoon against the side of the glass, slowly pour the mixture into the glass so that it floats on top of the blue layer. Add an appropriate amount of water, and finally fill the glass with grape sparkling water.
Amidst Iroha Isshiki's exclamations of admiration, the picturesque special drink was captured by Komachi Hikigaya's camera.
The bottom layer is a serene deep blue, the middle layer is a vibrant orange-red, and the top layer is a dreamy pale purple. As the bubbles rise, they present the color gradient of the sky at dawn.
"So beautiful..." Yui Yuigahama murmured absentmindedly, "What's this drink called?"
"A graduation season special drink..." Saki Kawasaki blinked, "I just had a sudden whim. You guys can come up with a name for it."
"Hmm... the accumulation of knowledge, undying passion, dreams for the future, and the vitality of youth." Yui Yuigahama murmured softly, gazing at the swirling sky imagery in her glass, "Graduation Season Special Drink - Dawn, Departure."
"So that's what I was thinking?" Saki Kawasaki tilted her head. "... Let's just say that's what I thought."
"Take a look at the photos." Komachi Hikigaya handed her phone to Saki Kawasaki. "I think these are particularly good."
"Everything is fine." Saki Kawasaki nodded in satisfaction.
Komachi Hikigaya's photos are very careful about protecting information; they don't capture Saki Kawasaki's face, but you can still sense the professionalism and focus of the people in the pictures.
Once the images and text are prepared, a note is complete.
"Hmm, well written, meets the activity requirements." Haruno Yukinoshita glanced at it, picked up her cup, and said, "Well then, as the only graduate present, I won't be polite~"
The sweet and sour flavor spread, as unrestrained and exuberant as youth.
Chapter 808 Hobbies
"My... hobbies?" Kaori from the Handicrafts Club looked slightly confused. "Does that even need to be asked?"
"This is a mock interview~" Yui Yuigahama explained, "Have you been using Little Snowflake lately? There's a great event going on right now."
"Love Never Graduates?" After browsing the event page, Kaori finally understood the ins and outs. "My hobby is naturally doing crafts."
Under Yui Yuigahama's guidance, Kaori and the club members took photos for the notes. Holding the small doll she had just made, Kaori said, "Why do I like handicrafts...? It's probably because I enjoy the process of [shaping floating thoughts into tangible shapes]. Many things that are invisible and intangible can be transformed into tangible creations through handicrafts."
Yui Yuigahama shook the mushroom charm on her phone, which Kaori had made for her. "Like friendship~"
"That's exactly what I mean." Kaori suddenly remembered something and held up a finger to remind her, "However, handmade items make friendship tangible, but they're not the whole story. If you accidentally lose one, don't hide it; just tell each other!"
"I did have those concerns back then~" Yui Yuigahama she recalled the past. "You felt the same way."
"You only have this kind of understanding after experiencing it yourself," Kaori chuckled. "Oh, and take a picture of this little mushroom too, as a souvenir."
Yui Yuigahama nodded vigorously. "Yes!"
-
"That's roughly what the event is like," Dong Yunshan explained simply. "So you can post your hobbies and interests as well."
"I already know." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza waved his hand. "This is the hobby version of the World Martial Arts Tournament, right?"
Dong Yunshan: "It was quite easy to understand at first..."
Yoshiteru Zaimokuza rubbed his hands excitedly. "As a light novel author, my hobby is to achieve both fame and fortune..."
"Let's not even talk about whether dreams count as hobbies." Dong Yunshan sighed, "As a light novel author, shouldn't my hobby be writing novels?"
Yoshiteru Zaimokuza, declared righteously, "That's a way to gain both fame and fortune!"
"Alright then." Dong Yunshan shrugged. "So, how do you plan to take a photo that will bring you both fame and fortune?"
Yoshiteru Zaimokuza pulled out a thick stack of manuscripts. "Then let's film the manuscripts I wrote..."
"Oh, right, don't you also like swordsmanship?" Dong Yunshan suggested, "How about taking a couple of pictures?"
"My swordsmanship is a bloodline curse passed down from my ancestors," Yoshiteru Zaimokuza sighed. "If I could, I wouldn't want to possess such terrifying power. But with the apocalypse approaching and undercurrents surging, protecting the world requires this... I haven't finished yet!"
-
"The Little Snowflake Check-In Campaign... Is it an interest?" Sasaki from the Film Research Club glanced at the various odds and ends in the prop room. "I don't really like movies."
"Huh?" Komachi Hikigaya was taken aback. "So you don't like it?"
"I just enjoy making props."
"Then why not go to the Handicrafts Club?"
"My props only come to life in movies," said prop master Sasaki, gently stroking the somewhat frightening foam prop head beside him. "What I enjoy and like is seeing them come to life."
"Me too." Tanaka, who was in charge of editing and photography, Tanaka his hand. "What I like is the process of organizing. Photography is about recording, while editing is about expressing. In this process, I re-examine the past and find what I truly want. It's like reviewing my past life, but life can't be edited, but a film can."
"It feels so profound... yet it's also quite easy to understand." Komachi Hikigaya nodded thoughtfully, then turned to Hojo and asked, "As the president of the Film Research Club, you must like movies, right?"
"It's not that I don't like it..." Hojo somewhat awkwardly, "But I prefer drawing posters."
Komachi Hikigaya: "... Why not go to the art club?"
"The drawing club just draws," Hojo explained. "Only the Film Research Club can truly enjoy the feeling of turning a story into a painting."
"I think I understand..." Komachi Hikigaya then looked at Miki, who had delivered outstanding performances in several short films, "You're not exactly a movie fan either, are you?"
"I prefer the feeling of doing something with someone I like to movies." Looking at Hojo, Miki blushed and shyly changed the subject, "And you, Komachi, what do you like?"
"Movies," Komachi Hikigaya sighed, "And it turns out I'm the only one in the Film Research Club who really loves movies."

"Of course the Baking Club loves baking!" Chinna smiled broadly. "Even if a cake we bake ourselves isn't the most delicious, it still tastes amazing!"
"What matters isn't the final result," Risa said gently, looking at the happy Chinna. "It's the process of creating sweetness."
"Ah... right." Feeling the increasingly pleasant atmosphere, Yui Yuigahama realized it was time to leave.
-
"Wow, there are events like this? I want to participate!" Saika Totsuka exclaimed with a cute smile. "If more people see this, more people will join the Tennis Club —I love seeing everyone working hard and improving together!"
-
"On the soccer field, even the best player can't win a game on their own. You have to trust your teammates, and you have to become someone who can be trusted." Hayama Hayato gave a somewhat complicated smile. "That... is very appealing to me."
"Don't guys who play soccer look really cool?! Especially the feeling of being surrounded and cheered by your teammates after scoring a goal... that moment, all eyes are on you—it's so awesome!" Tobe Kakeru struck a cool pose. "I started playing soccer because I saw how cool Hayato Hayama was. My skills aren't that great... but I'm probably just as handsome, right?"
-
"I enjoy pushing my limits in games," Sagami, who wears round glasses, sitting in front of his computer. "The sense of accomplishment from breaking through my own limits time and time again is unparalleled."
"I like the stories in games." A cold glint flashed in Hatano's square glasses. "They're vast worlds that are even more unrestrained than reality."
-
Judo Club Shiroyama thought for a while before giving his answer, "Judo taught me how to fall, and it also taught me how to get up."
-
"I like to eat delicious food... Is this okay?" Ito Tomita asked a little shyly, and after receiving a definite answer, she added, "Especially the food my family prepares for me; it's not just delicious, it brings happiness."
-
"Huh? Do I have to write one too?" Yui Yuigahama her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly broke into a big smile. "I love... the time I spend with everyone~"
Chapter 809 is still a little short.
"The school is very satisfied with the results of this check-in activity. Although it has just begun, it has already fully demonstrated the students' autonomy, and the discussion about the school suppressing students' autonomy has clearly decreased." Shizuka Hiratsuka paused, a complex emotion appearing on her face. "The supplementary plans for the dance are still there, right? The school said that although they don't encourage it, they can help communicate with the Parents' Association."
"That's great!" Yui Yuigahama happily grasped Iroha Isshiki's hand. "There's finally hope... Huh? Iroha, aren't you happy?"
"Of course I'm happy that the ball might continue." Iroha Isshiki frowned slightly. "But what does this mean?"
"Hmm..." Komachi Hikigaya carefully chose her words, "Is this... a reward? A commendation or something, for resolving the public opinion issue?"
"It is the school's responsibility to ensure that communication between the Student Council and the Parents' Association proceeds normally." Yukino Yukinoshita gently shook her head. "The school failed to fulfill its responsibilities before, unilaterally demanding that the Student Council exercise self-discipline, which is a dereliction of duty. Fulfilling one's responsibilities cannot be considered a reward or commendation to others."
Yui Yuigahama, puzzled, "What does that mean?"
Saki Kawasaki snorted, "Consider it charity."
Iroha Isshiki gritted her teeth. "A condescending act of charity!"
Komachi Hikigaya looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka and realized that the teacher did not intend to refute her, which made her understand why Shizuka Hiratsuka's expression had been so complicated just now.
It seems that when the school administration Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke, Shizuka Hiratsuka realized the school administration's arrogance.
That's why it seems so complicated when relaying the story.
On the one hand, Shizuka Hiratsuka was dissatisfied with the attitude shown by the school.
On the other hand, Shizuka Hiratsuka also had to diligently convey the message.
Communicating with the Parents' Association is the Student Council's right.
However, the school stripped the Student Council of its power, then returned it as a reward.
The Student Council would feel uncomfortable if they accepted it.
But if they don't accept it, this is a hope that has been hard-won.
It's hard for Shizuka Hiratsuka not to have mixed feelings upon realizing this.
Trying to persuade students to accept this is like asking them to compromise.
To force students to refuse is to extinguish any hope.
In the end, she could only convey the school's message truthfully, and then... fall into a helpless silence.
"So..." Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow, "President, what's your decision?"
"I refuse!" Iroha Isshiki declared firmly. "I don't want this kind of charity."
Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze was calm, almost icy. "Just because of this?"
"The main reason is that I don't want to." Under Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze, Iroha Isshiki calmed down a little. "But more importantly, the school's attitude hasn't fundamentally changed; it's just returned to its previous state. They've only ensured communication, but haven't confirmed whether the dance will continue. If the Parents' Association even more adamant, then we'll face the same situation as before."
Iroha Isshiki's thinking became clearer, "In other words, the school's change of attitude is due to our efforts. Rather than believing that the school's attitude will actually change in the direction we hope for, we should believe in our own efforts to make the school's attitude change in the way we want."
Shizuka Hiratsuka stared at Iroha Isshiki in surprise, then smiled with satisfaction.
"It's still a little short..." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently, "But it's enough. Let's begin the next step."
"Huh? It's still a little short? I thought I explained it perfectly." Iroha Isshiki quickly asked, "What did I forget?"
"Time," Yukino Yukinoshita reminded, "The self-imposed restrictions have caused many tasks to be unable to continue, and the progress has been greatly delayed. Even if communication goes smoothly, it will still take a lot of time, and the remaining preparation time is very tight."
"With limited time, we can't prepare perfectly," Dong Yunshan added. "It's okay if the final ball doesn't turn out a little better, but if problems arise due to poor preparation, that would be a real problem, and tomorrow's ball wouldn't be able to continue."
"That's right! Time!" Iroha Isshiki realized the seriousness of the problem and tried to find a solution. "To prepare in a short time, we need more manpower and resources, which means... we need the school and parents to get involved?"
"This is precisely the main objective for the next step." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan. "Is the car ready?"
Dong Yunshan nodded. "They're already waiting outside the school."
Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered. "Yui Yuigahama?"
"Everyone has time," Yui Yuigahama replied immediately.
"Let's go then." Yukino Yukinoshita stood up. "Teacher, please come along too."
