Just as expected.
Even with the existence of big spenders like Tanaka Daishou, who generously bought several tickets, Yumemi's tickets still hadn't sold much, only a little over a hundred.
And this was the amount sold with the added boost of her Student Council member identity.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira had originally thought she could sell two hundred, but it turned out he had overestimated.
"Whose fault is it that your tickets are too expensive? One ticket for 100,000 yen. If it were 10,000 yen each, the seats would probably be filled very quickly," he said with a shrug.
"That won't do!"
Yumemi shook her head and said earnestly, "How much money can you make from 10,000 yen a ticket? Right now, I've already earned over 10 million yen just from ticket sales! In this school, if you price your tickets too low, you'll be looked down upon!"
"After all, my popularity isn't high enough in this school, so it's understandable that not many people are willing to buy tickets for my first concert."
"However, as long as my first concert is a success, I will become the campus idol of Private Hyakkaou, and my fan club will spread throughout the entire school. At that time, let alone 100,000 yen per ticket, even if it's 200,000 yen per ticket, the audience will still be packed!"
Yumemi had a clear plan for her future and knew she absolutely could not set a low price.
Even if only one-third of the tickets for this event were sold, and the remaining two-thirds were given away under various pretexts, as long as her name became widely known, her future would be smooth sailing!
"Ambitious," Ayanokouji Kiyohira praised, looking at her dream with newfound respect.
"Of course," Yumemi hummed proudly, not forgetting to add, "Now you're willing to take the ticket, right? Remember to come and make up the numbers for me!"
"I'll go, but you can give this ticket to someone else. All my friends already have one," Ayanokoji said.
"Everyone has one? You don't seem like the type of patron who'd spend a lot of money to support me. Who gave you the ticket?"
Yumemi looked at Ayanokoji with an ambiguous gaze and chuckled, "Was it that kid Yomotsuki Luna or Miharu Taki Sakura?"
Yumemi Yumemite had given several tickets to every Student Council member. If Ayanokouji Kiyohira had "freeloaded" his ticket, the most likely possibility was that he got it from one of them.
Ayanokoji deliberately feigned nonchalance and said, "I got it from the Vice President. She said someone forced these tickets on her, and since they were trash but hard to dispose of, she gave them all to me."
"Trash..." Yumemi was instantly stunned.
The Student Council Vice President was her biggest backer, the one who promoted her and allowed her to join the Student Council. To curry favor, she had given her over twenty tickets.
No matter what, the market value added up to over two million. This was her good intention, but she never imagined these tickets would be treated as trash...
While it's true that unsold tickets are essentially trash, she shouldn't have said it like that; it's very damaging to one's self-esteem!
Wait...
Yumemi suddenly realized something was wrong. She came to her senses and angrily shouted, "No, Ayanokoji, you're deliberately trying to trick me! The Vice President wouldn't say that about me!"
Ayanokouji Kiyohira had been very concerned about which high-ranking Student Council member she told his "gossip" to in exchange for a promotion opportunity. He was deliberately trying to trick her, hoping she would blurt out the truth in a fit of anger!
"Did you figure it out?" Ayanokouji Kiyohira wasn't surprised. It would be strange if Yumemi had taken that remark seriously.
"Hmph, you really thought you could fool me!" Yumemi snorted. If she didn't know the Vice President's character, she might have actually believed Ayanokoji's nonsense.
She frowned and said, "Ayanokoji, why are you still bothered by this? I told you, she won't expose you!"
"It doesn't matter if she exposes me now. I just want to know who is interested in my privacy; otherwise, I won't feel at ease."
If Mibuomi Aoi knew that Ayanokouji Kiyohira had dated Miharu Taki Sakura, he might not care at all right now. Instead, he might be ecstatic because of their close relationship.
Uh... that sounds a bit strange, but for Mibuomi Aoi, the closer Ayanokouji Kiyohira and Miharu Taki Sakura's relationship is, the easier it is for him to carry out his plan.
"You're quite confident. How about I go tell Mibuomi Aoi right now and see how he deals with you?" Yumemi didn't believe Ayanokoji was truly unafraid. She just thought he was deliberately bluffing and tried to intimidate him.
"Then go ahead and try; I won't stop you."
Ayanokouji Kiyohira shrugged, quietly activated the Pinocchio Bracelet, and made one final confirmation: "I'm asking you one last time, was the person you informed at the time the Student Council Vice President?"
"No, absolutely not!" Yumemi Yumemite said decisively.
