Chapter 2348: Livelier Clubroom


    ?


    "Ah! Ruki... You brought another girl!" Otsuka-senpai eximed as we arrived at the


    Literature Club.


    She pointed at me and then at Reira-senpai before her eyes went down to our entwined hands. Behind her, Kana, Rae, Rumi, and Hana had varied reactions though. Kana and Rumi were looking at Reira-senpai like an acquaintance. Most likely they had already interacted before. The three of them were all in the same year, after all.


    Rae nudged her sses as though she suddenly felt threatened at the appearance of another sses girl. Hana, on the other hand, was the same as always. She had this confident air around her, treating everyone the same. Well, not that much anymore since she''s already warming up to the other girls, especially to Chii and Hifumi.


    "Karen, I mentioned this yesterday. I''m recruiting actors for our booth. Reira-senpai here is just the first one. There will be more."


    "Eh? You''re bringing more of your girls? Is that it?"


    "Who says they''ll all be my girls?"


    "Isn''t it natural for you to do that?" Otsuka-senpai tilted her head.


    At this, not only Reira-senpai but the other girls in the room startedughing at our exchange.


    "See, Ruki. Even in your club, your shamelessness is already taken as a natural urrence." She whispered as she stepped forward. "Nice to meet you, Karen-chan, I love your hair." Although confused at first, Otsuka-senpai''s eyes eventually sparkled with admiration, "Thank you, Reira-san! Yours is gorgeous too! And your body! How can you be that sexy?!" Once again, the overly curious girl couldn''t stop herself from blurting out her thoughts, making the room fill withughter once again. She''s always this enthusiastic about new things.


    I should tease herter.


    "How, huh? Maybe you can ask Ruki here. He''ll know." Reira-senpai yfully answered, directing the overly curious girl to me.


    And like an ant guided towards sugar, Otsuka-senpai''s gaze swiveled to me. Her big, purple eyes sparkled with a mix of curiosity and excitement, "Is that true, Ruki?"


    I ruffled her hair and shook my head, "Don''t get fooled. Do you think I''m an expert in every girl''s body?"


    "You''re not?" Otsuka-senpai pouted. Her expression was a perfect blend of disappointment and hopefulness.


    This girl... No wonder I couldn''t help but worry about her getting tricked someday, she just couldn''t stop when it came to her curiosity.


    Ignoring the fact that she had me locked up with the curious girl, Reira-senpai continued into the room, greeting the other girls seated at the long table.


    She introduced herself so confidently that I could see some of them start regarding her as another rival.


    Meanwhile, Otsuka-senpai clung to me, pressing me for answers.


    I ended up dragging her with me as we joined the others at the table.


    After the introductions, Rumi started exining the whole festival booth idea to Reira- senpai, who was nodding thoughtfully while asionally ncing in my direction as though praising me foring up with this idea. She even congratted me in advance for bing the sessor of the club.


    What a seductress. Maybe if not for my other girls here and my attempt at trying to behave during club discussionspletely, I would shamelessly hug her for all the zing I''m receiving from her.


    Anyway, since I was partly responsible for this booth, I soon joined Rumi in exining it to Reira-senpai about it.


    Then, maybe around twenty minutester, Nikka-senpai arrived outside the clubroom with Enomoto escorting her.


    He nodded at me once before turning and leaving. The message was clear. He''s entrusting her to me.


    I nced down at Nikka-senpai who was fidgeting slightly as though something good happened to her, I couldn''t help but ask her silently, "How was it, senpai? Did you make progress?"


    Her cheeks flushed as she looked away, "I''ll tell youter, Onoda-kun. Hehe."


    Well, she didn''t need to tell me anymore. It was so obvious that even Reira-senpai could only shake her head at how her friend was always swaying in happiness.


    Maybe she finally confessed and Enomoto epted? Nah. It''s probably something simpler


    than that.


    With her addition, Otsuka-senpai''s curiosity once again red up but Reira-senpai expertly deflected the girl back to me, making Rumi facepalm again.


    It was quite chaotic. Nheless, with more people in the clubroom, the atmosphere was noticeably lighter and livelier as we went over our ns for the cultural festival again.


    "So, in summary of everything I exined, Nakanishi-san and Tenma-san will be ying the roles of mad alchemists in one of the scenarios we''re going to expand. We''ll write your script soon but you can also work closely with us to ensure that everything will be consistent." "Mad alchemist, huh? Can we get Ruki as our guinea pig?" Reira-senpai jokingly suggested. And Rumi responded positively, clearly enjoying this shot at me.


    "You can. His role is multiversal."


    "Wait, Rumi. When did it be like that? I thought I was only in charge at the climax?" I interjected to keep up with their antics.


    "When? Just a few seconds ago." Rumi smirked at me, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Yeah. She''s upset I brought two more girls to the club but at the same time, she''s also pleased at mypetence. There was no middle ground for her.


    The room burst intoughter, and even Nikka-senpai''s eyes twinkled as she joined in, enjoying the light-hearted banter.


    We continued to discuss like this for the rest of the club hours.


    As always, I didn''t just stay locked in my seat. I went around, checking on everyone. Not even Rumi could escape my flirting when I pushed my chair closer to whisper some ''advice'' about


    the plot.


    Thankfully, Nikka-senpai was too busy or innocent enough to notice how everyone in the clubroom, including Reira-senpai, was getting intimate with me whenever an opportunity arose. Or maybe she noticed but she just didn''t know how to react to it.


    I mean, I was so shameless I already kissed everyone. Of course, except for Reira-senpai and Otsuka-senpai. Thetter looked like she was asking for it though.


    After that, Rumi inquired if I had more candidates to recruit and I quickly listed names and their affiliations. I also wrote suggested roles for them. Obviously, among the list, I could count those unrted to ourplex rtionship on my fingers.


    "You''re unbelievable. You have to work twice more for the scenarios, understand?"


    Rumi''s tone was yful but firm, her eyes gleaming with amusement and challenge as she handed me a stack of papers, each detailing a potential plot for the festival booth. "Also, since there are only two weeks left, we have to start decorating the ce we picked. And for the uingmittee meeting that the Student Council will hold, we''reing with me to represent. Make sure you''re prepared, Ruki." Rumi''s voice was a sweet reprimand but at the same time, her voice held all her excitement to do all those with me by her side.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
