A week after the meeting with Kirari, I walk into the lunchroom to find the familiar "Donation Day" banner, with Ririka and the other council members sitting at the front table. Each of them have electronic card readers. They really do need to figure out how to accept funds from online.
Of course, with no more dens to my name, all I have to do is simply not pay my donation. I grab my lunch from my bag and sit down, making sure the student council members couldn't see me. I unpack my bento box and start eating. I keep an eye out on the council to make sure they don't start acting suspicious.
As the lunch period wears on, I find that my plan was a success. They don't force me to pay up. If everything goes to plan, they'll record me as having 0 yen paid this period, and they'll put a chain necklace on my desk as soon as tomorrow morning. I sigh as a eat my bento. Being a house pet really sucks, but once I gamble against Nishinotouin and win, I'll make my intentions known, and the rest of the council will be sure to target me.
I hope I'll have enough money to target the student council after the attack against Nishinotouin. I currently have about 700 million yen to my name, and hopefully around 1.5 billion if the attack against Nishinotouin goes well.
Once I finish my lunch, I put the empty box back into my backpack and go to class. Once the bell rings, the student council is almost done processing the 3000 students in the school. They really do work quickly. As I walk out of the lunchroom, I can't help but notice Yomozuki Runa, one of the student council members processing the donations, looking at me with scrutiny. She laughs as she turns to Yumemite Yumemi, a fellow student council member, and starts conversing with her. A chill goes down my spine as I quickly exit the room. Did they find out that I intentionally skipped donation day? As I sit down at my desk, I somehow just now realize that keeping this whole plan a secret may be harder than I initially thought.
