Life.1 Yeah, Let's Go to Kyoto This Year Too

Part 1

The day after Yasaka-san's sudden visit (She had left for Kyoto after enjoying a cup of tea with Rias and the other girls living in my house), We, the members of Occult Research Club had a meeting after school, to decide the programme we would be doing during the autumn event, the school festival, as it was the next event that came after the school trip. Vice-president Kiba, who was standing in front of the whiteboard, said to the members who were sitting on the sofa.

"—And with that, I would like to decide what we'll be doing during the school festival because the time is short."

Irina raised her hand and said,

"Why don't we re-do our last year's Occult Mansion? It was quite popular too."

Xenovia, the current head of Student Council, responded to this,

"However, doing the same thing for two years in a row feels boring."

Irina responded back to Xenovia's words

"The head of the Student Council sure is strict."

"Of course."

Xenovia then folded her arms and bowed her head. She had made time from her Student Council head schedule to show up at the ORC meeting. The [Occult Mansion] that Irina referred to was the programme we did during the school festival last year, using the whole old school building as the venue. It was a programme where all of the Occult Research Club members participated, consisting of a cafe with girls wearing cute waitress attire, a haunted house with me, Kiba and Gasper cosplaying as the monsters, and a fortune-telling corner by Akeno-san and Koneko-chan. The programme that the ORC did was so successful that the tickets were selling like hot cakes. I mean, we sold an absurd amount of them. That was the reason why Irina thought doing the same thing would be prominent.

Although Rias and Akeno-san had graduated and went to college, we were still quite popular as we were full of beauties, and we also had Kiba and Gasper, the handsome guys who were popular among the girls. Plus, we also had new members who were beauties like Le Fay, Bennia, Tosca-san, Kunou (spare member), as well as Ingvild. We also had more people than last year. However, like Xenovia said, doing the same thing for two years in a row felt boring. If Rias was still the president, she'd also say 'I don't want us doing the same thing for two years in a row'. I twisted my neck and said,

"If we want to surpass last year's programme with other things, the difficulty suddenly rises."

After that, we asked everyone's opinion with the conditions said just now, 'It shouldn't be the same as last year'. For example,

"What about a play?"

That was Gasper's opinion. But there's already the drama club, so it would overlap with them... Also, even though we had some people who already had experience performing at [Oppai Dragon] events, what kind of play would the ORC do...? Next was Koneko-chan's opinion.

"... How about cooking?"

"I'll help you with cooking."

So said Tosca-san, who had her white hair braided.. There were also other clubs who would do cafes or food stalls. Plus, we already did a cafe last year. Although this was the regular thing, Asia then told her opinion.

"Then how about presenting a research theme/subject?"

I'm not sure about pictures demonstrating lifestyles of Devils, Angels or Youkai, but it's a solid idea. However, it wouldn't be as attractive as last year's. Then came Le Fay's opinion.
