Chapter 268: A Great Day
Seeing the four of them being engaged at what they're talking about in that group, I couldn't help but get curious.
Still, I held into my earlier decision not to check on what they're talking about. I considered what's in there as their girl's talk.
After a while, Satsuki went out to check in to her club. Before that though, she asked me to follow her. We went somewhere private and in there, Satsuki vented out her slight jealousy from what she read in the group. Knowing her personality, I expected that so as soon as she started, I held her in my arms which instantly calmed her down. Afterwards, I kissed her without waiting for her to drop her tsundere act as I once again reminded her of what I feel for her.
Satisfied with that, she went to her club in a fairly better mood. Aya who noticed that giggled at my side and used a book as a cover for when she reached for my hand. Unlike Satsuki, Aya was already satisfied with just that albeit it's riskier.
Time passed and more students continued to arrive. Ogawa went in with a somewhat confused look on his face. His eyes instantly fell towards Nami who was busy typing on her phone with a slight smile on her face. And upon seeing that, he turned his head towards me, maybe trying to check if I'm the one she's chatting with. Little does he know that she's currently engaged and enjoying her interaction with Akane and the others in that group. Mori who usually greets him at the door only noticed him when he's already seated due to how busy she was at reading what they're talking about.
Tadano also did the same but unlike Ogawa, he sighed quietly before continuing to his seat.
When Chii arrived, the smile plastered on her lips was the same one she had yesterday. When our gazes met, she winked and continued without saying anything else.
The morning became even perfect when Shio arrived with that blooming smile on her face once again. The ring on her finger was long removed and none of the other students noticed that.
The classes progressed normally and somehow, we diligently studied and listened to the lessons with only the lunch break as our leisure time. I spent it with the three girls and unknowingly or maybe due to how comfortable it is, I fell asleep with my head on Aya's shoulder. When I woke up, Nami and Satsuki were glaring at me.
As if she had her courage grow, Aya's arms naturally circled on my head and pulled me to her chest, protecting me from the two girls' glaring eyes.
Upon understanding the situation, my arms slipped to Aya's waist as I let myself fall deeper in her embrace.
"Hateful Ruki."
"Now, he's intentionally doing this."
Satsuki and Nami commented while Aya lovingly giggled at their words as her arms caringly tightened. Her sweet smell filling up my nose.
Even if I don't turn my head, I know the two were pouting as they sat next to us. I don't know how long I fell asleep but with these three girls here, it's truly a comfortable feeling.
Soon enough, when the time to go back came, I had the two of us stay for a little longer to be a little intimate with Aya without any other eyes on us.
Satsuki already had her time earlier while Nami surely thought that she would have her turn later.
Continuing the class after that, the PE Class followed.
Well, unlike the previous ones it's not that eventful, like what they asked from me, Eguchi-sensei called me for a consultation first. She told me what she planned for the day. And after adjusting some of the details she thought out, the PE Class ended without anyone being extremely drained from the activity.
Since it is Friday, it's the joint PE Class with Class 3. As I expected, Itou was still looking at me hatefully while the forehead girl who's the Rescuer from the last activity seemed to be interested in us, or rather me and the other two representatives, Chii and Kanzaki. They went out of her way to know our name and asked if we wanted to be friends with her.
"Ara. My bad. I haven't introduced myself, have I? Forgive me for my manners, I'm Minamoto Misaki."
Although her tone also sounded haughty, it's easy to realize that it's her normal voice.
"Misa-chii, huh? Nice to meetcha. Let's totally hang out next time, alright?"
Chii cheerfully greeted her and even instantly shortened her name to her liking.
"Misa-chii? Uh. I don't think I am allowed to hang out with just anyone."
Hearing the nickname Chii made up for her, her forehead slightly creased but she didn't comment from it save from the confused expression she put on. Perhaps trying to find the meaning in that nickname.
"Aren't we friends now? Are we still 'just anyone' for you?"
I interjected. Although I don't really think I have time for that, I'm just following up for Chii. Although she already has some friends for herself, they're all gyaru like her persona right now. Having normal friends like Misaki is always better.
Err… Is she really normal though? Aside from how she always carried that paper fan and her fondness for her wide forehead, I guess she's normal?
"Right. Only if you have time, Misaki-san."
Kanzaki chimed in as well. Her glasses were slightly fogged up from the sweat she accumulated from the PE Class but it's also easy to see that she's eager to become friends with her.
"Hmm… You're correct. We are friends now, you're not just anyone anymore."
Misaki nodded as she waved her paper fan causing her already short fringes to be lifted by the air generated from it.
"Misa, what are you doing there? Let's go."
From their class, Itou called out to Misaki. Although her eyes also fell upon me, it's now more normal. Maybe she's restraining her glare since there were others whose attention was on us.
"Ah. Maaya-sama, please wait for a moment!"
Misaki courteously responded to Itou. After that, she turned to us and also courteously excused herself while leaving some words for us. "I will look for a time to accommodate you, my new friends, and hang out. Chizuru, Mio and Ruki, see you."
"I don't know if she's well-mannered or a haughty girl."
Chii commented as we all watched her elegantly walk towards Itou.
"Judging from that, she's more innocent."
I said. With my experience with girls, that's the more appropriate category for Misaki.
"Must be someone really kind but somewhat restricted for some reason."
Kanzaki added.
I don't know what led her to approach us like this. Maybe the last activity made an impact on her? In any case. It's a good thing for Chii.

After the PE Class, the 7th period was self-study so instead of doing nothing, I tried reading books and other materials that I deemed better to have knowledge of. It was listed by Rae to help me gain knowledge efficiently. Although Aya can also do that, she's more on fiction rather than general books. Since she's at my side, upon seeing what I'm reading, she got curious and joined me.
Spending time like that, the bell indicating the end of today's school rang out.
I escorted Satsuki and Aya to their clubs first. After that, I greeted Haruko, Himeko and Mina who were drinking tea together before going to take Nami to their club. Mori already went ahead but we ran into her on the stairs before the floor where their club was located.
Nami who hadn't had her time with me earlier asked for a bit of my time which was then followed by Mori. Satisfying both girls and in turn, being satisfied myself, I went to the Literature Club in a great mood. And it became even better upon seeing Kana and Rae. Otsuka-senpai is still out of her Curiosity Energy while Ishida-senpai hasn't come yet.
Because of that, the two sneakily went on the offensive.
Only when Ishida-senpai arrived did I stand up and ask to be excused again due to my secretary work for Shizu-senpai.
"This guy. Go. You already excused yourself yesterday. Also, it's a job from the Student Council. Although I somewhat hate it that they suddenly gave you a position, it is official business so it cannot be helped. Just remember what I told you, Onoda-kun."
"I understand, I will present it to you this Monday."
"Un. Did you already say goodbye to them?"
Ishida-senpai then pointed to Kana and Rae who's still somewhat satisfied from our sneaky time while she's not here.
"I did. Well then see you, Kana, Rae, Ishida-senpai and Otsuka-senpai."
Even if she's silent, she's not deaf so I still included her. When her curiosity came back, maybe that talk that was long overdue will happen.
Upon leaving the Literature Club, I made my way to the highest floor where the SC Room is located.
I've only briefly seen Shizu-senpai yesterday so I'm somehow excited to spend time with her once more.
However, along the way, I ran into someone else.
"Inugaki-senpai."
Acting like a good junior, I called out to the Vice President.
Upon seeing me, he instantly clicked his tongue before flashing a genuinely fake smile.
"Oh. If it isn't the President's Secretary. Are you here to ogle the President again?"
"Yes? The President loves the tea I brewed. You should try it as well sometimes, senpai."
I smirked as I tried to match his steps up the stairs, irritating him further. This guy thought he would have a chance with Shizu-senpai. Before he knew it, I'm already closer to her, more than any other guy. Except her father, probably.
