Chapter 637: Fake Money = Real Money



The day before the school festival, the student council of Yukihime High School was working tirelessly across the expansive campus, ensuring that every detail was in place for the big event. With multiple buildings, serene lakes, lush forests, and numerous stages to oversee, the council members were strategically spread out, coordinating efforts and managing logistics. Clad in their distinctive council sashes, they could be seen everywhere, each member handling their assigned tasks with efficiency and dedication.

In the central courtyard, the heart of the festival preparations, council president Vivian Darktower oversaw the construction of the main stage, coordinating with the technical crew to ensure the sound and lighting systems were flawless. Vice-president Aurora Gray led a team decorating the pathways with colorful banners and directional signs, ensuring festival- goers could easily navigate the various attractions. Nearby, secretary Yuki Umaru was busy checking the booths, making sure each club had the resources they needed and that their setups complied with safety regulations.

By the lakeside, the members of the disciplinary committee were helping with the festival organization as well, they were helping the art club set up their open-air gallery, providing additional hands for hanging canvases and arranging sculptures. In the forest, they assisted the nature club with their immersive trail, ensuring that all educational displays were properly installed. On the sports fields, they coordinated with athletic clubs, organizing schedules for demonstrations and competitions.

Aurora was busy organizing things when suddenly her phone rang, she picked it up and saw that it was her brother calling.

"Hello." Aurora replied smiling.

"Busy?" Theo asked with a small chuckle.

"A tad." Aurora replied with a tired sigh.

"Then I feel a little guilty to give you more work." He said, "I just arrived at the school gates, I brought with me the boxes containing the fake money you asked Sayuri to print."

Aurora had asked him to use his Jeep to pick up the multitude of boxes containing the fake money earlier that morning.

"Really?" Aurora said with shining eyes, "I'll be there shortly!" She exclaimed before hanging up the phone.

Aurora didn't even hesitate before picking up her walkie-talkie and saying, "Girls, my brother arrived with the fake money. We need to gather at the school gates as soon as possible!"

It was then that Vivian's voice sounded from the device, "Understood, Aurora. Everyone this is a Code Red, gather everyone at the school gates. And if someone sees the school inspectors call them as well."

A series of voices sounded as soon as Vivian finished speaking.

"Understood."

"Understood."

"I'm on my way!"

Just like that, from various parts of the school campus, the people responsible for the festival organization headed for the front gate of the school.

5 minutes later, Aurora arrived there and saw her brother waiting outside his car. He was chatting with Umaru and Carolla while waiting for her.

"Hey, little sis." Theo said with a smile when he saw her.

"Hey, big brother!" Aurora smiled at him gratefully.

She knew he had a busy schedule with all the projects he was involved in, but he still didn't hesitate to take time from his busy agenda to help her.

Theo and the girls chatted happily as they waited for everyone to arrive, and 10 minutes later, Vivian finally decided to take action.

"Okay, guys. I think everyone is here already. We need to transport these boxes to the student council building." Vivian said out loud to the crowd who gathered to help with the transportation, "Theo, can you open the trunk door?" She said as she looked at him.

"Sure." He smiled as he moved to open the car's trunk door.

When he opened the door, the crowd let out exaggerated expressions of awe.

"All of this is fake money?"

"No way, right?"

"President, how much fake money did you make?" Someone asked Vivian.

"Hmm, I wasn't responsible for that." She replied as she looked at Aurora, Hanako, and

Carolla as they were the ones responsible for that.

"From what I remember, it was around 1 million." Carolla, the student body treasurer replied.

"Wow!"

"You guys are playing big."

"Well, it's better to have more than have less."

Everyone commented in awe of the girls' courage and confidence in the festival's success.

"Okay, guys." Vivian suddenly said, "Everyone grabs a box to take to the student council building. I have the duty to warn everyone that each box is sealed, and they have to arrive there sealed as well."

Just like that, each one of them grabbed one or two boxes and walked away in the same direction. Vivian and Aurora stayed behind to count how many boxes exited the car, as they had to verify that the same amount of boxes arrived at the destination.

Some people might be wondering why they were being so careful with a bunch of fake money, but this fake money would have the same value as real money in the next two days of the club festival. So, if they lost even a single box, they would suffer a huge loss of money. Consequently, the student council had to treat these boxes of fake money as if it were real

money.

After the last box was taken from the car by Aurora and Vivian, Theo smiled at them, "Do you girls want help with those boxes? I can bring it to you."

"No, but thank you, big brother." Aurora replied with a grateful smile.

"Yeah, we know that you are super busy, Theo." Vivian said, "But thank you so much for

bringing these boxes."

"No worries, I'm never busy if I want to help my little sis." Theo laughed, "Good luck with

festival preparations, girls."

"Thank you!" The girls exclaimed with a smile.

The three of them chatted for a couple of minutes before Theo said goodbye as he drove his

car away from the school gates.

10 minutes later, everyone arrived at the student council building.

"20, 21,..." Vivian and Aurora diligently counted the boxes of fake money.

It was only when they checked several times that all boxes arrived with their seals intact that they were able to sigh in relief.

Vivian let the disciplinary committee and the others who she called to help go back to helping with the festival organization as only the student council stayed back.

Finally, when the six members of the student council were alone, they sighed in relief.

"Handling money is nerve-wracking!" Carolla exclaimed.

"Yeah, even if it is fake money, it is basically real money for us." Umaru commented.

"Especially when the amount reaches 1 million." Vivian giggled.

The others couldn't help themselves and started giggling as well.

1 million!

Would the festival be successful enough to need this amount of money? Only the future could

tell.
