Chapter 347: The Awkward Club (1)

When I left the Poem Appreciation Club, Mina escorted me out.

Well, only until their door though. Because she’s somewhat satisfied with me today, Mina peeked her head out for me. And due to that, I scored another kiss from her.

Being that was the third time when our lips met, she was already somewhat used to kissing me. She also let me do what I wanted, like sucking her to mine in which she returned with more eagerness on her part.

And that’s not the best part. It’s her part embarrassed and part hateful act that resurfaced once our lips separated. Although Mina could be said to have already accepted me, that act of hers only made her adorable in my eyes.

Tomorrow would probably be a great day to visit her and hopefully, she’s alone. .

As for the three seniors, because they’re still afraid of talking to me, the introduction I did was enough for now.

As much as I wanted to help Haruko to help those three, one day or one week wasn’t enough. And although they hadn’t shown it today, those three still hated me for getting in between them and Haruko.

I needed to make them get used to my presence first before approaching them one by one.

If a chance appeared wherein I run into them one of these days then I would grab it.

After bidding my farewell to Mina, my feet then lead me to the Student Support Club.

I told Nami, Hina and Saki that I would show up after all.

I wonder if Ogawa already babbled about what he witnessed earlier or he sucked it up like I was expecting he would do.

After knocking three times on the door of their clubroom, a grinning Saki welcomed me.

Compared to before, that grin of hers now held some kind of meaning.

“I’m here as promised.”

With the door opened, I could hear their group’s calm discussion inside. And among those voices, I could neither hear Tadano nor Ogawa’s voice. Are they not inside or they just became mute today?

The fact that there’s no tension inside meant that the coward truly kept his mouth shut.

“We’re about to leave. You’re late.” Saki answered but instead of widening the gap for the door for me, she stepped out of it while maintaining the small gap.

“I see. Either way, can I see Nami?”

I acted normally but judging from how this girl’s action changed from how it was before, she’s going to ask me for something. And it’s obviously connected to what we did earlier.

For her to be this quick in action… Is she originally like this or is it because of how I gave her what she wanted easily? Was teasing her a wrong move on my part?

Considering I wasn’t trying to steal her at first, for her to be this quick on the uptake, it’s like I opened her up to a whole new world when I kissed her.

Well, it’s not that I don’t like how she’s acting. It’s just surprising that there’s no difficulty at all.

“Sure. But first…” She bit her lips and gestured with her finger for me to come close.

“Really? You want it here?”

Her lips were already expecting me to grab it with mine. Moreover, how she looked at me was as if she’s looking at her lover.

So much for asking me earlier if I was okay cheating with Nami, huh?

Ah. It could be that my answer earlier removed that restriction in her mind.

“I saw a chance, Ruki. Can I?”

“I didn’t know you’re this brave. Moreover, you just had your first kiss earlier.”

“You’re not like Kazuo who will beat around the bush just to escape. And I… as I said, I will jump at every opportunity that opens for me.”

“I see. But tell me something I don’t know yet, why are you interested in me? See, I’m not as kind nor as handsome as that guy. I also don’t possess a defining feature that will make you interested in me. I worked my way to have Nami fall for me but… for you, it’s a mystery.”

She can’t be the same as Nikaido who got drawn in by my air of mysteriousness or so she called it. Or liking me without any definite reason.

What did I do to be endeared to this girl?

“I’m a simple girl so my reason will be seen by you as also simple. My interest in you began when Nanami brought you for the first time. I instantly noticed that you’re a lot different than the guys I know. Kazuo, Daiki and Taku.”

Kazuo is Ogawa. Daiki is Tadano. Then that Taku is that silent guy.

The poor guy who probably has a crush on this energetic girl.

“Did it not come across your mind that I was just acting?”

“Of course, it did. But when you talk back to Shizu-senpai… That’s when I concurred that you’re the real deal. Did you notice how I started to ship you and Nami since that day? It’s my own way to make you notice me.”

Ending her words with a wink, this girl was trying to make herself cute in front of me, huh?

Well, she’s already cute enough. Just that, she also comes as somewhat mysterious to me.

“What about Ogawa?”

She appeared to be thinking for a while but in the end, she shook her head while her hand reached for my face.

“I’ll tell you next time when I get another chance to be with you. So, Ruki…”

As her voice trailed, Saki’s lips overlapped mine, initiating a kiss by herself.

She completely disregarded the risk that at any moment, someone might pass by or someone from inside their clubroom would check on her.

Her lips still moved as clumsily as earlier. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t just reject this eagerness from her.

I stepped forward and began responding to her kiss while my arms slipped to her back, pulling her closer to me.

Upon feeling that, the girl abruptly opened her eyes as she probably got overwhelmed by what I did.

“Hmm? What’s wrong, Saki? Why are you stuck at the door? Is that a client?”

Suddenly, Izumi-senpai’s voice rang out from inside the room followed by the sounds of approaching footsteps.

As panic filled Saki’s eyes, my urge to tease her kicked in once again. Tightening my arms, I prevented her from pulling away.

In fear of being caught, she forcefully pulled her head back to separate her lips from mine to answer Izumi-senpai.

“Un. I-it’s Onoda-kun, Izumi-senpai, he’s here for Nami!”

As she almost shouted, the mention of my name instantly halted Izumi-senpai’s steps.

“Ruki?!” And as if in chorus, Nami and Hina’s voices blurted out my name as I heard the squeaking of chairs when they suddenly stood up.

Well, at this point, I already let Saki out of my embrace. She looked scared enough that I noticed how fast her heart was beating as she panicked.

Afterward, she stared at me, not knowing whether she would hate me or not. She liked our kiss and our closeness after all.

“Next time, let’s not do risky things like that, alright?”

With that reminder from me, the girl slowly nodded before lowering her head to not let Nami and Hina who ran towards the door to not see her face.
