Chapter 628: Fake Money
Student Council Room, Yukihime High School, Elffire City..
The Elected Student Council wasn't behind in work as well. On the contrary, they were even busier than the rest as they had to organize the massive festival.
The six members of the student council had been working day and night to organize this festival.
"President, the flyers are being distributed to the school neighborhood as we speak." Ohori replied to Vivian as the student council had a small meeting that Tuesday afternoon
"Great job, Ohori!" Vivian said with a smile.
"Yeah, the flyers are great, Ohori."
"The little snow princess mascot is so cute!"
"....."
The other council members all complimented Ohori's work producing the promoting flyers.
"Thank you, girls." Ohori replied with a simple smile, "But I didn't do it alone, the people from the marketing team helped me a lot."
"Talking about teams, I think I have an idea on how to guarantee that no club cheats for more sales." Brenda suddenly said.
Everyone suddenly looked at her with shining eyes. In the last few meetings they discussed this topic at length because they realized that if the public directly paid the money to each club, it would be extremely easy for the students to insert money that didn't come from sales.
"The solution is extremely simple. We just have to create our own festival currency. In other words, no stall will accept real money, and the public will buy this currency directly from us. At the end of the festival, the stalls that have most of this fake money will be the winners." Brenda explained her idea.
"Indeed, it is a simple solution. But at the same time, there is a problem about it." Aurora commented.
"What about it?" Umaru asked.
"The money." Carolla suddenly replied, "We'll have to spend a lot of money to print or buy this fake currency."
As the student council treasurer, Carolla was the person responsible for controlling and supervising the budget.
"That's true. According to the predictions of the public we had, there will be thousands of people coming. This means we'll have to print or buy tens of thousands of fake banknotes." Vivian commented, "Carolla, how much left do we have from the budget that the school gave us for the festival?"
Carolla didn't reply immediately as she leafed through the latest budget reports she had, "Hmm, I think we have less than 20% left. But we have to save at least 10% for emergencies, so I'd say we have less than 10% of the budget to spend on this project." She replied as she read the report.
"How did we spend so much money?" Umaru asked in surprise.
If we want to achieve tremendous success, we have to design the banknotes ourselves."
Aurora argued.
"I agree with you, Aurora-chan." Carolla said, "But how can we do that?"
"Hey, Aurora." Umaru suddenly called, "Doesn't Theo have a Publishing Company?"
"Yeah, he does. Why?" Aurora asked.
"Why don't we ask for him to print our banknotes in the company's printing factory?" Umaru
asked.
Everyone suddenly looked at Aurora with apprehensive expressions.
"I don't know, girls. Theo told me that the printing factory is already working day and night to print the company's titles. I don't know if they have any printing capacity left to us. And I don't wanna mess with my brother's company." Aurora replied with an uncertain expression. The girls became deflated as they heard Aurora's answer, but they could understand her reasoning. The printing factory was already so busy, and they only messed with their work.
It was then that Vivian said, "Does the Publishing Company have any old printing machines that they don't use?"
Aurora received a jolt as soon as she heard that, "They have!" She exclaimed loudly.
The girls became excited once again as they heard that.
"Theo told me that they have old printing machines that are collecting dust in the company's headquarters. I'm sure they won't bother if we use them!"
"Great!"
"YAY!"
"Aurora to the rescue!"

The girls all shouted and laughed in happiness that they found the solution to their biggest
problem.
Just like that, the girls continued their meeting as they discussed possible designs for the
festival banknotes.
