Chapter 2350: Dropping by to help



Twenty minutes later, I returned to the Club Building with Misaki. She didn't want to return to her club anymore, claiming that she already finished their practice for the day.

As I obviously didn't want to leave her behind in the clubhouse, I allowed her to join me back at the Literature Club.

With Misaki being Misaki, she would probably go anywhere as long as I'm with her. And it's not like I could say no to her puppy eyes. Plus, I'm sure the girls wouldn't mind having her around. Her adorable innocence was also a soft spot for them.

We entered the Literature Club's room and everyone looked at us with varying expressions. Rumi had a look that seemed to say 'As I expected'. Kana shyly waved as she welcomed a junior. Hana and Rae welcomed the girl with a smile. Otsuka-senpai was naturally curious about the girl as she immediately swooned around her. Reira-senpai looked at me with a raised eyebrow. And lastly, Nikka-senpai was just amused at seeing another girl basically sticking to me.

I saw her nudging Reira-senpai and whispered, "Reira, you should be more proactive. Onoda- kun might be snatched up before your eyes."

Yeah. Despite being in the same room, she didn't really see me flirting with the girls earlier. She still thought I was just in a club filled with girls.

With Misaki's addition, the room became even more livelier and as soon as we filled her in on what we wanted to do, she immediately volunteered to be another actor.

Rae took her in, telling everyone that she already had an idea of what role she would hand to Misaki.

I got freed again but I stayed there, coordinating with everyone while stealthily flirting as well, spending this day's club activities preparing for our booth.

When it was close to the end of the club hours, I slipped out again to check upstairs. The Student Council was also slowly getting busier with the upcoming Cultural Festival. Although Shizu made sure that I would only need to do my duty two times a week, I thought I should still stop by and check.

The moment I stepped into the Student Council room, a familiar scene greeted me. Shizu was seated at her usual spot, a stack of papers before her. Her pen moved with precision as she signed off on documents. Her expression is one of focus and authority.

Shizu's eyes softened for a moment before she masked it with her usual cool demeanor. "Flatterer. But since you're here, I suppose I could find something for you to do."

From her tone, I could tell she appreciated the gesture even if she wouldn't outright say it.

Shizu had always been the type to carry burdens quietly, rarely asking for help. Well, not until I broke into her bubble. Now, she loves delegating work. So, in a way, the Student Council was now more efficient with her lead.

"Alright, Numbskull. If you're serious about helping today, there's a stack of event proposals that need reviewing. Komoe's been learning, but I'd like a second opinion. Think you can handle that?"

"Mhm. Leave it to me." I took the folder she handed over and pulled up a chair beside her. But before focusing on it, I couldn't restrain myself from reaching for her hand and pulling her for a kiss.

The girl's eyes widened in surprise but only for a moment. As always, he leaned into me, her cheeks flushing a darker shade of red. It was a simple, yet intimate moment, our lips pressing together for a brief second before we parted.

She pinched my cheek before puffing her cheeks as she complained, "I love that kiss, but blockhead, we have a lot of work to do. Give that as a reward for later.

"I understand." I impishly smiled before picking the folder back to start my work

While I read through the proposals, Shizu returned to her own work, occasionally asking for my input or explaining a detail.

Not long after, Komoe and Minami Shouko also started coming to me for help. But it was quite obvious that they just wanted my attention. I understand that for Komoe since she's also my girl but Minami Shouko? The girl was still focused on feeling that genuine connection with me so... I didn't turn her down in helping her settle further.

At least, she's now spending her time more efficiently than trying to cause trouble around the school. Nevertheless, she's still far from being considered 'rehabilitated'. Maybe if she became unhappy, she might just return to her ways.

Well, we're here to prevent that. Give it a week and she'd be fully settled as the Student Council's General Affairs Officer.
