196 – My name is Ian, I’m a cat mom
Danya is in danger.
[Cat disposal plan]
Before finding her who has turned into her cat, you must first neutralize this notice.
However, like any organization, it is not easy to make a ‘notice’ that has already been issued disappear.
For that purpose, the Lichten Academy Student Council came here.
This is a group that is quite difficult to attack.
Due to the nature of the academy, which advocates student autonomy, it has a lot of power.
But more than anything, the student council vice president is the problem.
Instead of the student council president hiding in the shadows, Iris Rippenstein holds real power.
She is extremely cynical and administrative.
Attacking her, at least in her game, was close to impossible.
‘Still.’
Somehow, this notice must be passed down. It should be something that never happened.
I don’t know exactly what the ‘disposal’ written in the notice is.
I cannot understand the possibility that Danya could be ‘disposed of’ just in case.
My head spins quickly.
How should we attack the student council?
How will we attack Vice President Iris?
An ideal leader with a cool-headed direction.
He has the personality of never biting back unless he bites first.
A personality that extremely dislikes orders from others.
Inherently, this is a character that should never be provoked.
That’s why I provoked it.
“Take them down immediately. These notices.”
Because there is no time to calmly attack.
◆
Iris blinked blankly.
‘What did I just hear?’
It was the first time.
It’s hard to hear such a coercive order from someone.
Vice President of the Lichten Academy Student Council.
She is also the eldest daughter of the ‘Lipstein’ family, which has trained leaders of Liechten for generations.
There are not many people who can carelessly give orders to Iris Rippenstein.
No.
At least not within the academy.
Even her professors, who have high pride and live for themselves, speak to Iris with a certain degree of courtesy.
The reason is clear.
This is because, in addition to their high self-confidence, they also have the intelligence to understand power and politics.
Nothing good will ever come from messing with the Riepenstein family.
Of course, this does not mean that ‘Ripenstein’ is particularly strong or particularly authoritarian.
Ripensteiners are not the owners of Liechten.
This is true both officially and practically.
The leaders who will lead Liechten are selected through voting.
It’s just that the voting results always point to Rippenstein as the leader.
That is why Rippensteins must be ‘ideal leaders.’
They gather opinions from those around them and make rational decisions.
They never attack anyone first, and they respond with kindness to those who are kind.
That is why everyone respects Riepenstein. They are the ones who are more benevolent than anyone else, as long as you show them a little respect.
That was so.
This is why Iris looked up blankly at the man giving her orders.
Ian Black Angus.
At the beginning of the semester, he was definitely more of a troublemaker than any other freshman.
He was making fun of all kinds of female students, so the proposal for his expulsion was seriously discussed in the student council.
The initiator is none other than Iris herself.
My impression of Ian was the worst.
But at some point, Ian started to change.
He has now become one of the best students.
The student council contribution made by the dessert research group he created is even the biggest contributor to getting the student council out of the financial crisis.
In many ways, he is someone who makes me think a lot every time I see him.
And maybe it’s longing.
“Take it down immediately. This notice.”
Iris herself is just looking at Ian, blinking, as he gives such coercive orders.
“… Hey, Vice President?”
The chairman of the working-level meeting is myself, the vice president.
That’s why he has to do anything, whether it’s kicking out interest or something.
But my mouth did not drop.
Ian, are you being swayed by this person?
No, the reason is a little deeper than that.
It’s a matter of Iris’s heart.
It was also the reason why I admired Ian.
Ripenstein.
In order to become a suitable leader for Liechten, be different from yourself by reflecting everyone’s opinions, having meetings, and discussing.
Ian Black Angus overcomes anything as he pleases.
This time, he brought a notice from the student council and recklessly told us to take it down.
This is nonsense.
“Vice President…”
It is natural for the working-level staff to look at Iris in confusion.
Their eyes wishing for a solution to this absurd incident committed by Ian.
Iris’s qualities as an educated leader were reflected in her response to Ian.
“It’s impossible. The decisions made at the faculty meeting were implemented with the consent of the student council president, so they cannot be reneged on.”
This is a stereotypical and cold answer.
This is a formal answer that does not take his situation into consideration at all.
That’s why most of the others give up here.
– If that’s the rule, there’s nothing we can do about it.
I just go back with those lines.
But Ian was different.
He did not give up at all, but rather pushed further.
“There must be a way. Iris, it’s just annoying to think about it right now.”
Speech that can be considered rude.
It was not Iris who was upset, but her close associates.
“You Ian! What kind of nonsense are you saying…!”
“That’s true. There are rules that must be followed just because an order is given from above?”
“That’s what the professors say, so how…!”
“What are you guys? Aren’t you the student council?”
“That’s right! We are a student council representing students! A student autonomous organization! Ian, how could you disparage me like this…!”
“What kind of student autonomy is it to be dragged around by the school’s words? In fact, isn’t that the school’s dog?”
“…!!!”
Ian, who had completely cornered her entourage, stared at Iris again.
“Iris.”
“…Yes.”
“There are sure to be ways to counter that authority. It’s just that the procedures are cumbersome and complicated. You’re handling things like lazy public officials.”
“Lazy civil servants…”
Originally, I would have refuted and gotten angry.
But Iris kept her mouth shut.
Because what he said was accurate.
At the same time, it is not polite.
What should I do in times like this?
Her head is confused and dizzy.
But Ian did not give Iris a chance to organize her thoughts.
“More than anything, Iris, you probably didn’t want this announcement either.”
“…?”
“From what I see, you clearly like cats.”
It was true that she liked cats.
She opened her mouth with difficulty.
“… However, that doesn’t affect my decision. The important thing when submitting an agenda is to guide everyone’s opinions well.”
“Then what is your opinion?”
“Yes?”
“How will your opinion be reflected?”
Iris closed her mouth.
Me too, I know.
But because she came down from the school.
Because it was approved by the chairman.
Because the majority agreed.
You can’t overturn that just because of her own preferences or her opinions.
She only has the slightest feeling that she likes cats.
“No matter how much the school announces, there is no way. Iris.”
Ian’s tone became softer.
That soft voice pierced Iris’s ears.
Method.
This is a way to neutralize the notice.
Without realizing it, Iris was reviewing her school rules and administrative decrees in her head.
That moment.
“Vice President! Come to your senses! Today, Vice President, you are different than usual!”
With the shouts of her entourage, Iris regained her senses.
“No, Ian Black Angus. This meeting is also off-limits to outsiders. Please leave.”
Iris pointed to her door.
She was back to her usual self.
◆
Iris’s expression regaining her cool.
‘…Is it a failure?’
Tsk.
I have quenched my appetite.
Are strategies that appeal to emotions not working?
It seemed like almost everything had been overcome until just before.
Surprisingly, kids who look cold on the outside, like Iris, tend to be warm on the inside.
She tried to get that part to move, but she seemed to have failed.
‘Because this is a character that cannot be easily defeated in the first place.’
Still, I think I made it through about half of it.
Well, is that enough?
To implement Plan B.
I looked at the members sitting in the conference room.
Even if you look at it roughly, it makes up 1/3 of those who love animals and nature.
Then, this is plan B.
Beside Iris, her subordinate chimed.
“Get out now, Ian!”
I ignored those words and instead headed into the conference room.
Tables arranged in a ‘ㄷ’ shape.
— Hmm!
Standing in the center, I took a deep breath.
“What are you doing now? Get out now…!”
I clicked on the words of her subordinate who was making a fuss about something.
Purely in terms of strength.
“The lives of all animals are precious! The lives of cats are also precious!”
In an instant, silence came to the conference room.
Using that silence as background music, I shouted once again.
“The lives of small creatures are also precious! Likewise, the lives of cats are also precious!”
As if she had noticed something, Sylvia ran behind me and helped me.
“The lives of all animals are precious. The lives of cats are also precious!”
Silvia is squinting her eyes at me.
I heard you’re smart after all.
We kissed and shouted.
“Come on, everyone.”
“”The lives of all animals are precious. A cat’s life is also precious.””
Elena, who was hesitant outside, approached and muttered.
“… He seems like some kind of agitator.”
“You tell me too, Elena.”
“But, I, too, am a member of the student council…”
People in the conference room are shaken by Elena’s appearance.
Elena, who hesitated for a moment, also shouted.
— The lives of all animals are precious. A cat’s life is also precious.

Is it thanks to Elena?
Among the people sitting in the conference room, some are now starting to get into a rhythm.
Because I added rhythm as part of it.
Someone actually muttered.
The atmosphere that overwhelms us.
When the voice gets louder.
Iris, who had been staring blankly, opened her mouth.
“… Just a moment.”
A cold voice.
The silence that came in an instant.
With everyone’s attention focused, Iris opened her mouth.
“The cat disposal plan will be put on hold for 24 hours.”
“Yes?!”
People around her are surprised.
Iris declared firmly.
“By the vice president’s ex officio.”
