Chapter 2310: Followed



Thirty minutes later, I concluded my patrol after finishing a round of the entirety of the school's ground. Nothing out of the ordinary, sports clubs were busy practicing, especially those who got qualified for the prefecture-level of the Interhigh like the Girls' Basketball Club.

There wasn't anything to say to the other clubs though. They could do anything they want as long as it's in line with the name of their clubs.

I also met up with Uchiyama and his group who's trying to crack down on the Anti-Ruki club. They were making progress even without my involvement since most of the members were first years. They were probably those who witnessed how popular I became with the girls during our camping trip.

It's actually quite surprising that in our class, only Fukuda and Miyoshi were identified. They're so persistent in hating me rather than moving on and finding someone else. If they're not going to confront me themselves, what's the point of joining that group, right? Are they just going to slander me and wait until the girls leave me? In their dreams.

Anyway, according to Uchiyama's findings, most of them were just a bunch of envious bastards who couldn't stand seeing me always surrounded by the girls. They even had some 'eyewitnesses' making a statement about how I'm flirting with those girls whenever we're alone.

Which is not entirely false.

However, those became their fuel to continue funneling their antagonistic behavior towards me. But like I said, they're still just a bunch of cowards who could only badmouth me outside of my earshot.

Since I planned to only weed them out for today, I grabbed a pair of gloves and a small hand shovel. The garden was a bit overgrown, with weeds wrapping around the metal fence that surrounded the plots.

I carefully approached the first plot, kneeling down and gently starting to dig out the weeds. The soil was surprisingly soft and rich, probably from the months or a few years of neglect. But it's not all bad. It meant that the ground was still fertile and perfect for planting.

After working on this for at least fifteen minutes, I heard the door creak open and a pair of footsteps entering. Thinking that it should be Misaki, I stood up, dropped the shovel and took off the gloves before returning inside.

However, I was wrong, it wasn't Misaki. It was Maaya and she wasn't alone.

Behind her, there was Miura-senpai, Komoe's older sister and the gamer girl, Sagara-senpai. "Oh! Onoda-kun! This is amazing! It looked like an old dilapidated haunted house from the outside but here... It's cozy!" Miura-senpai exclaimed as she immediately ran around the room, her eyes lighting up as she took in the sight of the lavish interior of the clubhouse. Sagara-senpai was also a little curious but she's quite behaved.

And lastly, Maaya was staring at me with an apologetic look before saying, "Sorry, Ruki. I didn't notice I was followed by them."

Yeah. I figured that's the case. Knowing that girl, she wouldn't just bring anyone with her, especially to this place that was supposed to be our group's secret.

"Hehe. Don't get mad at Maaya-chan, Onoda-kun. This was all due to my suspicion. I once checked this place out because of rumors of ghost haunting, who would've thought that the rumors were probably born because you guys have been spotted coming to and from here." As she said all that, Miura-senpai posed while nudging her glasses up her nose, a playful smirk on her face.

Right. We were here when they snooped around, talking about the ghost rumor or something. But thinking about it, this was truly bound to happen. It's not like everyone was skilled in sneaking into this area. And with more girls coming here, people would start to notice.
