"Again, you're late. And what's this? You brought another girl with you. She's not even from our school!"
Faced with the grumpy Rumi, hands on her waist after opening the door for us, I could only force a smile as the vampire fanatic quickly hid behind . She felt the pressure coming from the senior in front of her.
Soon afterward, Nina peeked her head out slightly to greet and introduce herself to Rumi.
"Hello, senpai. I am Nagase Nina, Ruki-senpai's junior. I'm here to investigate him!"
"Investigate?"
"Yes! His origins as the Noble of the Night!"
"Noble of the... What? Hey Ruki, where did you pick this girl up?"
Baffled at the words coming out of her mouth, Rumi turned to .
"Downstairs. Don't mind her. She has a wild imagination."
I answered which made the vampire fanatic step out of hiding to retort or maybe defend her
cause.
"It's not my imagination! You're purposefully playing dumb, senpai!"
Rumi alternately looked at us before settling at .
"Oh. So, you're casually kidnapping a junior now."
"I wish it's as simple as that."
If I'm going to kidnap soone, it'll be Mami to tornt Ogawa again.
Alright. Scratch that, I'd rather get Sumire or Umi than this girl who cannot be persuaded to drop her fantasy.
"So, she ca here specifically for you, huh? Wait. I rember. I read sothing about this certain junior in the group. Is it her?"
Having rembered that, Rumi took another look at Nina who was currently acting fidgety while twirling her hair.
Without needing my confirmation, Rumi then stepped forward, grabbed the girl's hand, and brought her in.
"Eh? Senpai? Am I getting abducted" Surprised, Nina blurted out nonsense as she tried to reach out to .
I simply waved my hand at her as I watched her be brought over to our usual eting table.
There, Kana, Hana, and Rae eyed the newcor who was acting a little pitiful and abandoned at the mont.
I ignored her and closed the door behind before approaching them.
I first went to my Kana, hugging her from behind even with Nina still trying to get my attention.
"How is it? Have you made so progress?"
"I do. Wanna read it?"
"Sure. I'll read it in a while." I kissed Kana's cheek which the girl happily accepted.
After that, I moved on to the next girl, Hana.
"So, is she the girl who believes you're a vampire? Why not bite her and be done with it?" As I also hugged her from behind, Hana was the first to open her mouth.
With narrowed eyes as though she was not pleased with Nina's presence, she dismissively suggested.
However, she whispered it only for my ears to pick up.
"If I did that, what do you think would be her reaction? Will she be convinced that I'm not a vampire or will she suspect I purposefully retracted my fangs?"
"... I don't know. But you're being too soft on her. It feels like I'm seeing myself in her shoes." Ah. So that's the reason, huh? Is she admitting that she deluded herself about her chances of stealing from the other girls? Now she's projecting herself on Nina's unbroken fantasy.
"I guess you're right. Your situation is a bit similar. But only a bit. I was soft on you because I love you. I am soft on her now because she still doesn't know any better. If she realizes that I'm more dangerous than so mythical creature, she might get nightmares at night."
"Is that what you think is going to happen? Ruki, you're being naive. I thought you know yourself best?"
"Are there other possibilities?"
"You're being awfully dense. Just kiss and move to Mirae. Maybe she can knock so sense into you."
Hana sighed and clicked her tongue before turning her head to steal a kiss from my lips. Once that's done, she pushed to the other side where I got caught by my knowledge girl.
... Well, she's not wrong though. I may have been acting really dense right now. It's because I have no idea how Nina would react if she figured out what was actually happening.
Maybe she'll think they're not in mind control but under a love spell. Knowing her pattern, she'll also ask to cast it on her! What a terrifying junior.
"Pfft. That's a rare look on your face, Ruki. Is this junior that difficult for you? You figured out right away but you're having trouble with her? According to my knowledge, you're either running away or denying reality. Which is it?"
Rae whispered as well along with her sweet giggling. Since she caught , I was currently buried in her chest, inhaling her irresistible fragrance.
Maybe when I raised my head and looked at the other side of the table, Nina was already flabbergasted at what she witnessed.
Not to ntion, Rumi would surely wait for her turn in order to scold for flirting openly in
the clubroom.
But well, I'll take it one step at a ti.
Wrapping my arms around Rae's back and letting my weight slightly lean on her, I replied,
"Isn't that technically the sa?"
"Yes. I think you're right. So... is Nina-chan like Sumire and Umi?"
"No. I don't think so. She just needed a wake-up call, I guess?"
"Pfft. Then go and give it to her."
Rae laughingly ruffled my hair before squeezing my cheeks between her palms.
Before letting go, the girl also stole my lips which produced sighs of wondernt from the other side of the table.
When I eventually stood up to face them, Rumi was shaking her head while Nina had stars in her eyes as though she just witnessed sothing out of the book.
"As expected of the Noble of the Night. Senpai, did you bring to one of your dens? So, is Rumi-senpai the sa?"
"Shut up. And you, co here and deal with your junior."
"Yes, President."
I forced a laugh before moving over to them.
Nina followed with her gaze and as soon as I reached them, she stood up and pulled
down to sit in between them.
"Fuuu... I was scared for no reason. I thought I was going to be interrogated, senpai."
"You're still at it?"
"What do you an? I've just seen you be intimate with them. That's the proof of my conjecture! You're amazing, Ruki-senpai. Now, use your powers on !"
The urge to facepalm welled up in . Rumi on my left tapped my shoulder as though sending
her pity.
I turned my gaze to her and saw the girl holding back her lips from curving upwards.
Yeah. She's enjoying my suffering.
"Listen here, Nina..." As I started with that, I flicked her forehead lightly. "There's no power, your senpai here is nothing but a playboy who loves all of them. Do rember that."
"Eh... Even if that's the case, it's unheard of for girls to accept that they share their man with
other girls. Don't fool , senpai."
"I'm not fooling you."
"I'm not convinced."
"How can I convince you then?"
"Bite ." Once again, she's offering her flawless neck.
"..." I went silent for a while, staring at her for a good ten seconds. Shortly after that, I fixed
her uniform, "Girl, you're weird."
"Un. I get that a lot. Hehe. You know what, senpai? One ti Mami told to stop talking when I went into a weird tangent after talking about Kazuo-senpai. Only you are patient
enough to listen to like this."
I see... This girl...
She knew what she was doing here. She's intentionally acting like this because I play along
with her. It's not that she's deluded. In fact, she probably realized that I couldn't be what she claid to be. It's just that, she felt liberated being patiently treated by .
She's still a hopeless girl though.
