Mash-Up Anime World: Adopted by the Sawamura Family

Chapter 61: 61. Building a Headquarters, the Mutual Aid Club



"As soon as that old man Naoe Taro dies, the Naoe faction will inevitably fall into chaos."

"Using Ayanokouji Atsuomi as the entry point, we'll detonate the ticking time bomb that is the White Room and Advanced Nurturing High School."

"Purge the Naoe faction and force the current Prime Minister to resign in disgrace."

"Initiate an early election and support Grandpa Fujiwara's rise to power."

"Use the school's land as bait to persuade other factions to pass a series of policies related to the establishment of an Academy City."

"What do you all think of my Academy City plan?"

"Can it be realized?"

"Ladies, aren't you all a bit too naive?"

"Real political struggles and business competitions have no bottom line whatsoever."

"At most, I've just dug a pit for these White Room students."

"Whether or not they jump in is up to them."

Sawamura Akira pointed to her head, sighing in exasperation:

"Besides, don't forget that most of these students are mentally unstable."

"What if one day they lose control and decide to take revenge on society?"

"What if they start making explosives and launch indiscriminate attacks on innocent people?"

"Can you guarantee that you won't be caught in such a situation?"

"We should nip any potential danger in the bud."

The girls all gasped at her words.

If they encountered such indiscriminate attacks, they could only consider themselves unlucky.

"My idea is to make Japanese society aware of the dangers posed by students from the White Room."

"We should forcibly send them to specialized mental correction schools."

"Only after they've been treated can they be released."

"Or, in the future, we could establish a special school within the Academy City."

"A school dedicated to treating students with mental issues."

The girls immediately nodded in agreement. This was a good plan.

People with mental illnesses shouldn't be allowed to roam freely.

"Compared to the students of Advanced Nurturing High School, I'm as pure as a white lamb."

"If you don't believe me, ask Arisu."

"Isn't framing and scheming just a daily occurrence there?"

"As long as I'm not intentionally harming others, actively ruining lives, or playing with people's lives..."

"I think that's enough for me..."

"That's my principle and bottom line."

"Yukino and Eri have a strong sense of justice and responsibility."

"Masha is too kind and gentle."

"I definitely can't do that."

"Akira is right. Everyone's personality is different."

"We should just focus on being ourselves and not expect others to share our values."

Maria spoke softly, her voice gentle and supportive.

"Yukino, what do you think is the biggest and most serious problem in Japanese schools, or even schools worldwide?"

Yukinoshita Yukino answered without hesitation:

"Bullying."

"Exactly."

"Why is bullying in schools so hard to solve?"

"You can all answer that."

Yukino pondered for a moment. "I need to think about that carefully."

"Akira, there are all sorts of reasons for bullying."

"How do you expect us to answer that?"

Sawamura Akira sighed. "There's only one root cause: they're minors, protected by the law."

"Even the princes and princesses of the royal family get bullied at school."

"And they can only stand by and watch."

"I remember there was a mentally challenged prince who was bullied so badly he had to study abroad."

Sawamura Akira didn't hold back in her criticism.

Jinguu Kanade: "..."

The others were also speechless.

Sawamura Akira, you idiot!

Did you forget Kanade's identity?

Jinguu Kanade's voice was faint as she said, "Akira, that's my cousin you're talking about."

Even if he is mentally challenged, which is a well-known fact among the nobility, you shouldn't say it out loud like that!

"Ahaha! Sorry, I forgot about your status, Kanade."

"Because of the Juvenile Protection Law, teachers and parents can only give verbal warnings."

"As we all know, that's almost meaningless to delinquent students."

"They'll just keep bullying."

"So what we need is to fight fire with fire."

"Or rather, magic with magic."

"The best strategy is for Yukino to start an anti-bullying club at Soubu High."

"Let's just call it the Mutual Aid Club. Simple and easy to remember."

"Just by the name, everyone will know what we do."

"It's similar to your Service Club, in that we offer help to students in need."

"The difference is that this club only helps students who are truly being bullied or are in genuine need."

"Your Service Club is essentially a free 'do anything' club."

"Total suckers!"

"Any student, whether they need help or not, can come and waste your time and energy."

Pfft!

Everyone burst out laughing again.

Yukino's face darkened once more.

"And you're doing all these meaningless tasks."

"How does that help you grow?"

The current Yukinoshita Yukino is no longer the lonely girl from the original story.

Does that Service Club still have any meaning?

"Of course, we can't outright name the club the Anti-Bullying Club."

"That would be slapping the school and the government in the face."

"As we all know, the Japanese government has been claiming that bullying is under control and rare in our country."

"Everyone knows that's a joke."

Pfft!

Everyone was amused by Sawamura Akira's dark humor.

"Yukino, you need to understand one thing."

"Many students, for various reasons, are too embarrassed to ask for help."

"The overall social atmosphere in Japan is about not causing trouble for others."

"If I were the head of the Mutual Aid Club, I'd take the initiative."

"First, I'd find a way to get all the students' personal information and analyze their family situations."

"Then, through the newspaper club, school forums, and other well-informed channels, I'd identify the students who truly need help."

"Finally, I'd extend a helping hand."

Yukinoshita Yukino fell silent. No wonder Sawamura Akira said her Service Club was like child's play.

Sawamura Akira spread her arms as if to encompass the entire world, her voice filled with passionate persuasion.

For the first time, she revealed her ambitions to her childhood friends and elders.

Everyone: "..."

What a perfect plan. It's like a chain, each link connecting seamlessly.

A perfect example of a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

Most importantly, Sawamura Akira's goals are almost all achievable.

Not only are the risks manageable, but every family involved stands to gain immensely.

They have no reason to refuse.

The childhood friends exchanged glances, as if seeing Sawamura Akira for the first time. Their voices were a mix of shock, admiration, and a hint of unwillingness as they asked:

"Did you plan all of this from the start?"

"If Arisu can't gain the recognition of the Allan Institute, you'll push the Fujiwara family head into power, using Japan's national strength to secure an artificial heart."

"All to achieve your goal of building the Academy City."

"What planning?"

"This is all just a coincidence."

Sawamura Akira innocently denied it.

This annoying childhood friend of hers was habitually downplaying her abilities.

Sawamura Akira continued to explain her plan:

"If we handle it well, we might even turn Tokyo's 23 wards into 24."

"The most crucial part is that this new territory."

"It's like a blank canvas."

"We can paint it however we want."

"We can develop the Academy City according to our vision."

"Unlike the 23 wards, which are a mix of various factions."

"We can completely turn the Academy City into our stronghold."

"The police, prosecutors, courts—all the powerful institutions can be under our control."

"Everything will be much easier to handle then."

"This artificial island is connected to Tokyo by a bridge."

"It's part of Tokyo, yet subtly separate from it."

"As for the land originally occupied by the schools, we can use it as bait to lure other factions."

"In exchange for their support, we'll pass the relevant laws for the Academy City in the Diet."

"Those short-sighted hyenas will see such a huge benefit right in front of them and start fighting among themselves."

"That's our chance to establish the Academy City."

With every word Sawamura Akira spoke, the grand plan seemed to grow more and more magnificent.

It left everyone's scalps tingling.

They all felt a sense of unease creeping in.

"Akira, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Kujo Seiko quickly interrupted Sawamura Akira's grand ambitions, clutching her chest as she asked nervously.

"Grandma, isn't this what you've always wanted? To bring glory to our family?"

"I'm walking the path you've always hoped for."

Sawamura Akira said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

She no longer planned to hide her true self.

It was time for her family, elders, and childhood friends to gradually understand her capabilities and ambitions.

Kujo Seiko: "..."

I wanted you to bring glory to the family, but I never expected you to be this crazy.

"What you're trying to achieve is too big!"

"My old heart can't take it."

"Do you all think it's too much?"

Sawamura Akira blinked, looking genuinely surprised.

"Of course!"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Isn't this way too big?"

"It's beyond anything we could have imagined."

"I think it's fine."

"Coco's dream is the truly crazy and grand one."

After saying this, Sawamura Akira immediately stopped talking and returned to the main topic.

"Go on, why did you stop?"

People who speak in riddles are the worst.

"I just want to turn the future Academy City into an impenetrable fortress, a territory that our descendants will control for generations."

"Who says modern Japan can't have daimyos?"

"Japan's tradition is all about hereditary succession and clan influence."

"Since I can't change that, what else can I do but join in?"

Sawamura Akira pointed at her childhood friends, speaking casually:

"My philosophy is simple: if you're going to do something, do it to the best of your ability."

"The Academy City is just the beginning, a starting point."

"My dream is to turn the Academy City into the world's most advanced research base."

"Humanity shouldn't be confined to this planet. Our destiny lies among the stars."

"To make the Academy City function according to my vision."

"We must control all the power within it."

Only then can we stop Coco's insane World Serpent plan.

Sawamura Akira thought to herself.

Everyone: "..."

Clap clap clap clap clap!!!

What a crazy idea!

What a grand ambition!

It's truly awe-inspiring.

"Well said! Humanity's destiny lies among the stars."

"Let's do it! Akira's plan is perfect."

"Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of us."

"If we miss it, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives."

"Exactly."

"This is a great opportunity where the rewards far outweigh the risks."

"Even if we fail, we'll only lose some benefits."

The elders were all convinced by Sawamura Akira's words, applauding enthusiastically.

"Compared to our current Prime Minister, that old man Naoe Taro and the Naoe faction are our real enemies."

"It's either them or us."

Yakushiji Ryoko grasped the key point of the entire plan.

Only by replacing the Naoe faction's influence in the Diet could they proceed to the next step.

"Ryoko is right."

"That's why I said we need to wait for Naoe Taro to die."

"The most critical part of the plan is to make the ticking time bomb of the White Room and Advanced Nurturing High School explode as loudly as possible."

"Especially the inhumane White Room. It needs to cause a nationwide uproar."

"Hopefully, it'll be enough to give Naoe Taro a heart attack."

"That's when we'll need to use some underhanded tactics."

Sawamura Akira's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as she hinted at her plan.

"Akira, you're not planning to leak information about the White Room to terrorist and criminal organizations, are you?"

Sakayanagi Arisu's quick mind immediately guessed Sawamura Akira's intentions.

"How devious!"

"Hey hey hey!"

"Ladies, aren't you all a bit too naive?"

"Real political struggles and business competitions have no bottom line whatsoever."

"At most, I've just dug a pit for these White Room students."

"Whether or not they jump in is up to them."

Sawamura Akira pointed to her head, sighing in exasperation:

"Besides, don't forget that most of these students are mentally unstable."

"What if one day they lose control and decide to take revenge on society?"

"What if they start making explosives and launch indiscriminate attacks on innocent people?"

"Can you guarantee that you won't be caught in such a situation?"

"We should nip any potential danger in the bud."

The girls all gasped at her words.

If they encountered such indiscriminate attacks, they could only consider themselves unlucky.
