Part 9

"I

am... Saikawa Minori"

She said,

and bowed her head.

Before

her, Hiyama-san bowed her head as well, with a very fearful look on her face.

"I'm

sorry, I thought you were applying to join the club..."

"No,

if someone came into the club room with a recruitment flyer, that's what you'd

think."

Saikawa

answered in an orderly and logical manner. Although she seemed to be quiet, her

answers had a firmness in them.

"As I

thought, my recruiting sense is right after all!"

"You

shut up!"

The vice

president sent an angry message to the forever president, who began to run amok

without reading any of the air.

Art

department students are welcome! Especially girls! No boys! How can you think

that a copy written by a man who apparently only wants to worship girls is a

success? Well, I guess I'm not the only one who left such a flyer as my contact

information.

She

thought for a moment, then,

"Is

Hashiba-senpai a member of this circle?"

"Right,

but"

Reluctantly,

as expected I can't say that.

"So

it will be easier for me to talk to senpai if I stay here, right."

Saikawa

stood up abruptly and turned to Hiyama-san and Kiryu-san.

"I'm

going to join this circle from today. I look forward to working with you."

She said

and bowed her head.

"Eh?! S-Seriously? Saikawa-chan, are you sure, you're really joining?!"

"Yes,

I am sure."

"Yatta~

!! Finally, for the first time in years, we have an art student in the

club!!"

Kiryu-san

was so happy that he began to roll around on the tatami.

"...Saikawa-san,

you see."

Hiyama-san

put her hand on Saikawa's shoulder with a regretful look on her face.

"If

that idiot says anything you don't like, no matter how small, tell me. I'll

kill him immediately."

"Y-Yes..."

Saikawa

nodded anxiously.

"Well,

we've managed to finish the recruitment phase of new member of the club."

"Today,

I'll be singing Donguri Koro Koro!" (Note: A Rolling Acorn, a

Japanese Children's song)

Kakihara-san

and Sugimoto-san also looked relieved.

While the

older members of the club were filled with joy, I was,

"Saikawa,

um... why"

I tried to

confirm why she joined,

"I

don't like it when things aren't clear, you know."

"So I

came here today to get a foothold or a chance to do that."

"Haa..."

I wondered

what she wanted to clarify. It was hard to tell from her words, but it seemed

that we were able to get to know each other anyway.

"All

right, let's have a new cheer! Kakihara, Sugimoto, let's go shopping!!"

"Whoo!"

"Understood!"

The

seniors seemed to have immediately started preparing for the newcomers' party,

and went out light-footed. They probably went to the supermarket in front of Daigeidai.

"Ah~,

I'm happy... I'm happy, finally, a student from the art department joined us...

Now we can expect a decent school festival...!"

Hiyama-san's

heart was beating with joy at what a hurdle to overcome. Well, considering what

we have done so far, I can understand why she feels moved by this point.

In any

case, we now had all the actors in place. The only thing left to do was to

create the situation.
