Nobody Wanted Me in Their Club, So I Revived a Dead Club and Became the School’s Best Tax Clerk

Mio keeps getting told she is too strict, too careful, and too hard to read. That only makes sense, because she once worked as a tax administrator and now lives in a school world where nobody has invented taxes, budgets are a joke, and every loud student thinks rules are for other people. She also hears people in a strange way. Years of adapting foreign film dialogue taught her to catch what someone means under what they say, and that skill makes her good at finding lies, excuses, and lonely hearts. When she tries to revive a dead club, she needs more than members. She needs trust, and she keeps finding the cost of that in bruised pride, soft promises, and the first failure she cannot undo.
