"Then why won't you process her resignation from the club?!"
"The reason is simple."
Just as the headmaster was about to explain further, Tasuku interrupted and looked towards Tanaka's mother.
"I can't see this as Tanaka's own wish; this resignation form seems to be your decision, right?"
"So what?"
Tanaka's mother had a face full of certainty.
"She is my daughter, a daughter I have raised all by myself without relying on anyone, just me alone. So I decide my daughter's future. My daughter will go to a prestigious university, marry someone exceptional, and live a happy life! Club activities are completely unnecessary for my daughter!"
"Yes, you, you are absolutely right... I also have a daughter going through adolescence, so I deeply empathize with your feelings. However, our high school has always prioritized respecting the students' own willpower as its goal, precisely that, so could you please reconsider and take another look?"
