Since there’s only two of them, going to the bus station took a short while. Nami and Hina were going to talk to that guy and… like Nami said, even if I wanted to be there and watch over her, she wouldn’t let .
This was sothing she wanted to do for herself. ddling wouldn’t help so I could only ask for what happened later.
Nonetheless, even if that's the case, I still kept on reminding her to call . Ah no. I reminded both of them before they boarded the bus.
Even if they were sure of Ogawa’s personality and were able to predict how he would react, accidents were still prone to happen. It might look as if I was trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, however, the look in his eyes earlier was from soone near desperation.
I couldn’t help but be overly wary of him because I wouldn’t be there with them…
Haa… I should trust them for now and go back to Rae.

On my way back to the Book Club, I ran into Itou right after I reached the 2nd floor where it is located. While I showed up from the stairs leading to the 1st floor, Itou who probably ca straight from the Ga Club on the 3rd floor.
As soon as she saw , Hiko’s little sister imdiately glared at while grunting annoyedly. However, the one following behind her flashed a bright smile and greeted .
“Ara… Ruki, it’s nice seeing you.”
With her exposed forehead and the folded paper fan she brought against her lips, Misaki almost jumped off from the last two steps of the stairs to arrive in front of .
However, as if rembering that she’s a graceful ojou-sama, she coughed once and gracefully descended those last two steps as she stood next to Itou in front of .
This girl appeared to be soone high class but her nature to be this friendly despite we only had one instance of interacting with each other was sowhat adorable and full of innocence.
Since she’s treating as a friend, I guess it’s not wrong to consider herself as one. Besides, there was no malice with her friendship nor ulterior motive on my part.
Although I only saw her on so occasions such as this, the way she treated was always the sa. Full of friendliness.
Well, I thought of recomnding her to focus on being friends with Chii and Kanzaki but I could already imagine how she would tilt her head and ask why I said that.
“It’s nice seeing you too, Misaki and… Itou. Uhm. Are you also from the Ga Club?”
I returned her greeting and although the other girl was glaring at , I also greeted her. She’s Hiko’s sister and the one obstacle for us to beco closer than we are now.
“? No, I’m from the Drama Club. I picked up Maaya-sama at her club.”
She seed to be Itou’s underling but I guess… it’s more fit to say that she’s her follower.
Nonetheless. It’s not like Itou was annoyed by her. Instead, Itou’s glare at intensified upon seeing how friendly Misaki to .
“Misa, stop talking to him.”
“No offense, Maaya-sama. May I ask why? Ruki is my friend.”
“I can’t explain it to you well but he… he’s a bad guy.”
Looking at how she couldn’t find words to describe , it went to show how little she actually knew about . Perhaps, she only based that evaluation on how I made Hiko as one of my girls and… with her knowing about Akane.
“Is what she said the truth, Ruki?”
“It depends on your perspective, Misaki. What do you think? Do I look like a bad guy to you?”
Misaki stared at and took her ti to think. After a few seconds, she gently shook her head. “Uhm… No.”
Upon hearing that, Itou sighed and didn’t correct her anymore. She removed her glare at and faced the direction of the Book Club. “Enough of that, Misa. Let’s go and pick up my Nee-sama.”
“I understand, Maaya-sama,” Misaki answered.
However, before following her, the forehead girl waved her little hand at and smiled. “Ruki, we’ll be going.”
Since she imdiately ran off after Itou, I failed to tell her that our destination was the sa.

Since the Book Club was nearby, it didn’t take long for the two girls to reach it.
Well, they didn’t stop at the Book Club but the neighboring Poem Appreciation Club.
Itou knocked on its door and the two were invited inside.
Right. Hiko was there with Mina and the other two. I guess that saved from explaining to Misaki why I followed them.
When I entered the Book Club, Aya and Rae were ready to go with their bags slung on their shoulders.
Since we’re taking the train… Rae suggested taking Aya with us.
Aya’s destination was one station away from the school while Rae’s destination was two stations away, the sa station near Satsuki’s neighborhood.
Unlike Satsuki who was originally taking the bus, Rae was taking the train since there’s no nearby bus stop in her neighborhood.
Well, they lived in different neighborhoods so… they didn’t know about each other but… they’re all from the sa middle school.
Serizawa-senpai was also gone but Haruko was still sitting there.
She’s specifically waiting for .
After telling the two to wait for outside the clubroom, I went over to Haruko.
“You seed to be lost in your thoughts, Haruko. Is there sothing wrong?” I took the seat next to her where Serizawa-senpai was sitting before. However, even before I could sit comfortably on it, Haruko stood up and took my lap for her.
“There’s nothing wrong. Just missing this busy guy. Your face says there’s a lot that happened today…”
“Nothing really escapes you, huh? Do you want to hear it?”
“Naturally. However, you have those two waiting for you and I have those five in the next room waiting for . Tell all about it this Sunday. That’s my ti of the week. Yaeko already took the Saturday after all.”
That’s right. We have soone else waiting for us so this brief ti we managed to get for ourselves was sowhat precious.
Tomorrow, I might be ho late since there’s that thing with the two PE teachers. I still have no idea if what happened today with Orimura-sensei would affect that.
Nonetheless, I will be sleeping in Miwa-nee’s room tomorrow to fulfill my promise.
Akane knew about it so… she planned on spending the night with her parents and I would pick her up first thing this Saturday morning.
“Alright, I’ll tell you about what happened this Sunday. That’s great too since I also want to hear your views.”
All of my girls’ views were valuable. However, Kana, Yae, Haruko and Akane were the ones I usually ran to whenever in tis like these. I could include Nami and Satsuki, however, Nami had that problem with Ogawa while Satsuki had that incoming competition. It’s best not to add to their troubles for now.
“Un… Well then, let us savor these few minutes.”
Wrapping her arms around , Haruko then fixed her sitting position and switched it to straddle .
We’re the only souls in the room now so… there’s no need to hold back anymore. Due to that, the next few minutes beca filled with our passion for each other.

After that brief ti with Haruko, I went out and took Aya and Rae with as we walked towards the station.
The two were still getting along with each other so… before going to our destination, we stopped at the Bookstore again.
With eyes shining in both of their eyes, the two entered the bookstore hand in hand as they began browsing for books to recomnd to each other.
Aya went to the fiction section while Rae went to the non-fiction.
Watching the two having fun despite having different tastes in books, it’s a welco sight.
Like the other two tis, I visited here with soone else, I beca their go-to to ask for opinions about what they picked.
Well, Aya had just bought one before so… she’s not really planning to buy anything and Rae… She told she has her own library at ho. They’re just here to check on books and to bond with each other and with .
Spending around 10 minutes inside it, the two left the room, satisfied with all the titles they saw.
In the end, Rae finally got the interest to read fiction or specifically a fantasy novel. Aya was also reading non-fiction so she didn’t need to change her mind, instead, she took note of what Rae recomnded to her.
On the other hand, the two recomnded things for to read. However, knowing that I didn’t have that much ti to actually finish a book in less than a month, the two agreed to read those books for and give a full summary.
“I finally got you with on the train…” Aya whispered to when we got our seats on the train.
Right, this should be the first ti we boarded together. Although I already walked her to the station many tis before, those were only until her platform or… until she was seated inside like that ti after she stayed with us at ho.
“Un. I ought to do this with you long before.”
“No… It’s fine. I’m not complaining.”
“Ruki, we’re aware how busy you are so… you don’t need to apologize over every little thing.”
Rae interjected. Since we’re sitting close together due to how packed the train was at this mont, she sohow heard what we’re whispering to each other.
“Un. You being here was enough gesture to show how you cared for us.
Aya imdiately agreed to her and the two high-fived right in front of with bright smiles on their lips.
Since they’re teaming up to stop from being apologetic for the nth ti, I could only smile and appreciate these two girl’s efforts to understand ...
