At the end of the club hours, I escorted Shizu to the Student Support Club but before that, I waited until we were alone in the room before giving her the present I prepared.
She had the sa reaction as the others upon seeing it. Confusion.
Nonetheless, Shizu's lips stretched into a delightful smile upon taking a peek at it before carefully putting it on an empty space in the glass cabinet where the tea set was being kept.
It’s another cheap present, of course. It’s also not customized. Just a simple pair of teacups that we could use whenever I was here.
Honestly, I also got Mina the sa present just with a different design. They both love their teas. Shizu was now enjoying drinking tea with while Mina already made it a habit to brew one for whenever I would visit her in the club. I’m no longer a re taste tester. With her admittance of her feelings for , my visits beca more special.
Well, there’s just that incident so I refrained from teasing her too much last week.
“I’m used to getting presents. But it’s mostly from my teachers as a result of my ‘great job’ as the Student Council President or just being a Class President. I accepted all those with a smile but they’re like trophies. But this… I guess it’s right to say that if one receives a gift from soone special, no matter what it is, it will automatically be an irreplaceable treasure.” Shizu said as she stood before the cabinet where the cups were displayed, admiring them sitting inside it.
With the setting sun as the background, Shizu’s whole figure was basking with the orange light of the setting sun while standing there beca another picturesque scene that I quickly captured in a photo as sothing to be admired and frad.
When she heard the clicking sound from it, she turned her head to and I took another one.
I then walked towards her, hugged her from behind and showed her what I captured on my phone.
“You always have this tendency to make everything feel and look special…” The girl muttered before heaving a sigh. A short exhalation that most likely contained so of the words that she refused to say, lest ruining this precious mont.
“I don’t know what you’re saying. I only tried capturing your beauty so that I can admire it for as long as I can.”
I tightened my embrace and for the next few minutes, we savored that mont in silence while our hearts remained aflutter.

On our way to the Student Support Club, I inford her of what happened earlier with Ogawa and the possible effect it might show in their circle. I’ve also been aning to tell it to Nami and the other two but I guess there’s no need to. They’ll be able to notice it given his absence and the way Arisa-senpai and Izumi-senpai acted.
Shizu told that it’s great that I did that; less headache for her. In a way, she’s also tired of accommodating the guy and his unyielding hope. Many tis, she already got the urge to tell him that she’s also my girl just to make him stop. But like , she’s also thinking about Nami’s guilt for the guy.
Truthfully, that’s another key reason why she still wanted to stay in that circle, not just because she’s too kind to be cruel to him.
Nami did say before that she wouldn’t care about him anymore but knowing that girl, she just said it as another consideration to .
It’s kinda complex if you would think about it but it’s understandable if you fitted yourself in her shoes.
Anyway, with what happened today and if nothing changed to Ogawa, Nami would truly be fed up and stop caring altogether.
For now, it’s still fine to care about their friendship.
Sooner or later, I would pull her out of their circle’s influence anyway. Maybe, kick that guy out of the club and have him take the silent guy with him. Tadano could stay but I doubt he would be able to stay as the lone guy in the club.
Others with their wild fantasies would think it’s a chance to form a harem but more often than not, that kind of situation would only devolve to him being isolated because he wouldn’t be able to relate.
Well, that’s that... I accepted Shizu’s praise with a shaless smile which made the girl stare at in disbelief.
She only returned to normal when Kikuchi energetically greeted her when we arrived at our destination.
Since I already ssaged Haruko to wait for in their club, I walked with them to their bus stop.
I also used that ti to check on the three girls or four if I included Arisa-senpai. I didn’t give them their presents yet. I decided to save it for tomorrow.
Before they boarded the bus, I noticed that Tadano was looking at weirdly. It’s more like he’s deliberating whether to talk to or not. As for the reason, it’s most likely concerning Nami or Ogawa.
But I’m putting my bet on the latter. He’s not going to tell that he heard Nami’s moans that night in her room, right?
In any case, Tadano failed to finish deliberating as their bus had already arrived. Besides, even if I noticed that he wanted to talk, it would just be wrong if I approached him myself. He’s not a girl, after all.
On my way back to the Club Building, I ran into the President of the Ga Club and his girlfriend, Miura-senpai. They looked like they had just concluded their club activities since other mbers of their club passed by them, saying ‘See you tomorrow’.
Truthfully, I wouldn’t notice them if the President didn’t call out to . From how friendly he ca off, I probably made quite a good impression back then that he still rembered even though I ended up not joining.
As for Miura-senpai, she’s just silently listening, perhaps thinking that it’s a boy-to-boy conversation.
Or so I thought...
“Onoda-kun. Why don’t you visit our club again? Do you know? After that day, our new mbers, especially Itou, beca less enthusiastic. It’s like they reached the peak of their satisfaction after that ga we played.”
What is this guy implying? Am I a catalyst for fun for their club?
That’s the first thing that ca to my mind upon hearing those words. That shouldn’t be the case. Although I rembered that the ga was rather lively that day, it’s not because of . It’s because of how absurd their board ga was.
Wait. He specifically ntioned Itou…
I looked to the girl beside him and sure enough, she had this apologetic expression as she showed a wry smile.
“Uhm. Senpai, I appreciate the invitation but I’m already in another club. Why don’t you create a new ga that will enliven the first years?” I suggested.
He was about to respond to it when I continued, which made him take a step back and scratch his head, “But if this is about Itou, I’m sorry, I also don’t know how to deal with her.”
“Is it obvious?” The President of the Ga Club laughed awkwardly.
“Maybe? Also, Miura-senpai gave it away.” I gestured to the girl next to him.
“I told you to let handle it when we run into him but you went and blurted out a blatant lie.” While shaking her head, she berated her boyfriend. “Now that the cat’s out of the bag, Onoda-kun, let reiterate. Can you visit our club again? For Itou.”
…These two. What made them think that whatever was happening to that girl would be solved by ?
Ugh. Better ask them instead.
“May I ask why you think I’m close to Itou? Also, it seems like you prepared for the possibility of running into .”
Upon hearing my question, the couple showed a different reaction. They appeared surprised and confused at the sa ti.
“Wait, don’t tell … you two aren’t close? Then why is she always ntioning your na?”
“Is she now? Wait, senpai. I’m as confused as you two. Why will she do that? As far as I know, she hated my guts.”
Of course, I could count on the possibility that she also has that inclination to like . But her hate over how she’s thinking I’m stealing her sister from her was more prominent.
Again, the more baffling thing here is… what’s going on that they even resorted to asking to visit their club again?
I have no spare ti for this....
