Can we accompany you?

Before going to the clubhouse, I once again went to the convenience store and bought drinks and snacks for us. I even bought puddings knowing that most of them would like something sweet after a tiring day.

Unlike yesterday, I didn’t run into Kujou Marika. Perhaps, he already went ahead and bought her comfort food or she already deemed the encounter yesterday enough to gauge my personality. Either way, that’s a plus for me. I returned to the school without any mishaps.

Or so I thought.

When I was on my way to the clubhouse, I saw two girls sitting on a shaded bench just a few steps from the back of the Club Building. No one else was coming this way but the two specifically chose that spot.

As soon as they saw me approaching, I became the focus of their eyes.

“Ruki! You’re here.” Misaki, the girl with her iconic bare forehead brightened as a beautiful smile stretched on her face. She stood up and ran to me.
