Mikoto sat next to an open window, his headphones hanging around his neck as he waited for his phone to charge. The weather hadn't turned into a proper thunderstorm yet, but he could feel electricity gathering in the air. It put him in a state of just being relaxed, yet alert. The sound and scent of rain was also quite calming. He'd prefer not to be here, but it wasn't like he could refuse the club leader.

The youkai had nothing against humans. His grandfather certainly still held on to his prejudices to his dying breath, but what was the point in remaining angry at things that happened in the past? However, Mikoto was still a little miffed that the club president had used a combination of blackmail and bribery to get him to join this club. How the hell had she gotten those photos he'd taken and saved from the internet? Someone would have had to get into his room and to his computer, and, given the club president's role in the world, it wouldn't surprise him if she knew a youkai or two that could do that.

"Here you are~"

Mikoto glanced up at the class president. "No thanks," he said politely. "I'm not much of a tea drinker." That was a lie; he'd drink tea sometimes, but he didn't exactly trust Asahi. He knew full well that she was behind many, [i]many[/i] pranks that had happened around the school that could never be traced to any student. Young kitsune were mischievous like that. However, he kept his mouth shut. No use stirring up drama. Plus, what teacher would believe him if he said that the class president, of all people, had committed the crimes? To them, it would make as much sense as if he'd told them that a youkai had done it.

"Hello, everyone! Today is the third meeting of the Miyama Occult Investigation club!"

He sat up a bit straighter, giving a terse nod. Mikoto couldn't help but think about Abe's question. How many of the people in the club had she blackmailed or bribed? Surely he couldn't be the only one.
