Chapter 2097: Going home
Before arriving at the Student Support Club, Nina sensibly let go of my arm. As much as she wanted to be baptized by my fangs, she knew it wasn't a good idea to show up there while clinging to me.
Furthermore, she told me to act like we only met along the way, keeping the fact that she was with us for more than half an hour.
When I asked her why, she looked me in the eye and said, "I don't want my seniors to get the wrong idea".
By seniors, she probably meant everyone in their circle, including my girls and the three stooges.
It's understandable though. The girls will probably look at me in question but the boys, I can already imagine Ogawa or Tadano interrogating me right there and then.
I can shut them down but that's too troublesome.
My girls will probably figure it out anyway and if they don't, I will mention it to them later or at night.
Due to that, our arrival didn't cause that much of a disturbance.
She greeted her seniors and acted like a junior who arrived to soothe their minds from the workload they just finished.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
Tadano was pleased to see her but Ogawa? The guy instantly eyed me, not even trying to hide his suspicion.
Nina and I ignored that nonsense.
Following that, it didn't take long for the girl to be doted on by Nami, Arisa, and Saki.
Kikuchi gave her a cookie.
As for Hina, the girl only went to pat her head before coming to me to find comfort.
From the way I saw it, she was also mentally tired from their club activity.
Izumi, on the other hand, remained in her seat. When I went to check up on her, I was met with a side eye though, primarily because of the girl curled up in my embrace.
Hina sensed that so once she got better, she joined the other girls to surround Nina.
Shortly after that, Izumi furtively signaled for me to come close and when I did, she pulled me down to her side before launching herself to me, using my chest as her place of comfort.
Yeah. She's the same as Hina. She was in need of the comfort I could provide.
I didn't say anything and simply held her.
They already finished their activity or the request Shizu brought to them so... there was nothing to stop Izumi from acting spoiled anymore.
bus stop or the station.
Kinda unreasonable, I know but everyone agreed to it.
Nina also looked pleased upon hearing that which didn't escape Tadano's notice.
Yep. Hiding her interest in me was doomed to fail right from the start.
First, I walked with my girls from the Literature Club along with Chii, Kushii, and An-rin.
Then, I returned to get Haruko and the rest of the girls from the Book Club and Poem Appreciation Club.
Unfortunately, Maaya, Himeko, and later, Misaki and Marika were still picked up by their chauffeurs.
I got caught in a little trouble with Marika's guards who once again warned me to stop
meddling.
But what can I do? I'm still planning to pick her up tomorrow.
I even learned that someone from the Kujou Family might make the trip to our city to set things straight. Marika doesn't know who it will be but I guess I can ask my parents who are
already working behind the scenes.
I'll properly repay them once everything is over.
As for Satsuki, I ended up walking with more than half of the basketball club since they all decided to go home together.
Kawakami-senpai apologized to me but well, I didn't really mind. They're a lively bunch, that's for sure. But ever since they won the city-level inter-high competition, I'm already considered part of their club.
They're practicing again for the next level of that competition, after all. It will happen during the summer break so they really have no time to relax if they want to progress further into the grand ambition of reaching the nationals.
I also made a trip to see Ryouko-san and Shio. The former had just returned from the gymnasium while the latter was busily organizing her modules for tomorrow.
When I finally returned to the Student Support Club, close to an hour had already passed.
The sky outside was already halfway through transitioning to the night sky.
In any case, my girls didn't mind it at all. They even got an additional member in the form of Shizu and Komoe who's going to walk with us part of the way.
Well, scratch that, I decided to walk her to their house which was only a few minutes from that bus stop. Even if a bus arrives before I return, we'll simply wait for another one. Ogawa and Tadano already left. Most likely to save themselves from seeing me flirt with the girls. Good for them, I guess?
"Shall we?" I asked them while sporting a huge grin which earned me a few pinch on my cheeks from the girls. They found that grin irritating because of how over-the-top it was. In the end, I got sandwiched by Shizu and Arisa as we led everyone out of the school gates.
