CH 18

Yoshino-senpai and Takamine-senpai greeted me and Ajiro-senpai with smiles when we came back to the club room.

Because we went to pick up something Ajiro-senpai forgot and was late to come back, and also because Ajiro-senpai came back with her face red, not knowing that it was because she was talking about her doujins, I feel like the two of them were giving me the evil eye again.

Anyway, over a cup of freshly brewed tea, I told the members of the Literature Club about my illness and the circumstances that led me to go to America.

The three kind seniors I’ve talked to gave me a push while worrying about my health.

“You’re going to invade a foreign land, Yamamoto-shi! Even the great Toyotomi Hideyoshi— No, let’s not talk about this!”

“Mm, a year! Can’t wait to see Yamamoto come back as an even bigger man!”

“Haha, I’m going there to become small though…”

“So when are you leaving?”

Ajiro-senpai asked me, and I pondered.

“Well, I haven’t told my sister yet, and they’ll have everything ready for me as soon as… I’ve decided, so I think it’ll be soon.”

“Then we shall have to feast magnificently before it!”

“Yeah, right! It’s a farewell party!”

“Ahaha. It’s okay, it doesn’t have to be that big.”

After the whole conversation was over, our Leader Takamine clapped his hands together to get our attention.

“Well! Then each of you are free to begin your club work today! Yamamoto has a briefing about his novel, so will you come sit by the window with me?”

“Yes! Understood!”

Ajiro-senpai secretly begins to work on a book that looks like a doujinshi, and Yoshino-senpai begins to read a challenging book of historical literature with a twinkle in his eye.

So, today’s club activities went smoothly, and the day ended.

[Postscript]

I just want to get him to America and write the scenes that make it interesting!
