"Seiji, what did you say to that child?"
After walking back to Mika and Chiaki, Seiji was immediately questioned.
"I just asked for her age and name. I wanted to chat with her, but I failed." Seiji shrugged.
"How could that be? I think the atmosphere was quite good. "Chiaki blinked." Even Mika is a little jealous. "
"Not at all!" Mika retorted forcefully, but her face was still flushed.
"I just... think that child is really cute, but her temperament is a little too cold, and it's difficult to talk to her, so... I admire Seiji for being able to talk to her so easily."
"No, it wasn't easy at all." Seiji sighed. "I just wanted to chat with her, and she tested me on a poem... I almost couldn't keep up."
"But you still managed to keep up. Amazing ~" Chiaki gave him a thumbs up. "In my opinion, it's easy for a literary girl like her to have a favorable impression of someone who can keep up with her topics. If you try a little harder, you might be able to get her cell phone number! "
"Forget it, I really can't deal with this type." Seiji smiled wryly before coming to a realization.
"Why would I want a middle school girl's cell phone number!? But Wakaba, you sound so sure. Could it be that you usually... "
Wakaba and Chiaki's expressions instantly froze. Then, she awkwardly averted her gaze and whistled.
Seiji and Mika were rendered speechless.
As expected, the two club leaders' attempts at persuading Shika to change her mind failed.
Shika Kagura was handsome, but his personality was completely unsuitable for the stage. The ministers' efforts to capture him was a waste of effort.
However, Anya Saionji did not look disappointed at all. It seemed that for her, the process of hunting down members was enough fun.
"Chiaki's best friend Mika Uehara, and transfer student Harano Seigo — would you be interested in joining the drama club!?"
Facing the two visitors, Anya Saionji's eyes flashed as she released a straight ball.
"I'm from the tennis club …"
"I still want to look around. I haven't decided yet."
"Acting is very interesting! Try to put on the costume first. You will definitely awaken new interests! "Xiyuan Temple persuaded them forcefully.
Pa! The Deputy Minister of Conscience of the Drama Department stopped her in time with a book.
"We're going to have a club activity next. Feel free to look around." Shiina Shiho smiled at the two of them, and then sighed, "By the way, can I trouble you to take care of that junior over there? She was very cold to us and didn't even want to tell us her name. Maybe she was angry … "
"No … that's just because you didn't pass the test," Seiji said subconsciously.
"Huh?" Shiina was stunned.
"I just chatted with her for a while … in my opinion, she doesn't hate you, and she doesn't care about being brought here … When the time is up, she will probably leave on her own."
"Oh …" Shiina nodded, half believing and half doubting.
"Harano-kun, could it be that you managed to find out her name!?" Anya sharply noticed this.
Seiji nodded.
"Amazing! Please tell me her name! "Anya suddenly brought her face close to Seiji's, her blue eyes flashing.
If she added the phrase "I'm very curious," this would be the signature move of a certain Grand Mistress with long black hair.
Seiji could even clearly smell the fragrance of her hair, and he unconsciously took a small step back.
"Her name … uh … Although I really want to tell you, it's better not to casually say it."
"Don't say that, just tell me ~" Anya approached again.
Pa! The vice president struck again.
"If junior doesn't want to tell us, then we shouldn't ask anymore." Shiina grabbed the president's collar and dragged her behind him. "I'll leave that kid to you, is that alright?"
Seiji nodded.
The drama club finally began their club activities.
Seiji and Mika walked around the club while paying attention not to disturb the club members.
"The costumes are all quite well done."
"The props and backgrounds are quite good as well; it seems like a lot of effort was put into it."
The atmosphere was also quite good; it was just a moment ago, but once the activities officially began, it became serious and showed the elegance of a large club.
Seiji and Mika, who were watching from the side, were affected by the atmosphere; they felt that doing nothing would ruin the atmosphere.
"It's completely different from the tennis club …" Mika sighed.
"Do you think the atmosphere here is better? How about we transfer to another club? "Seiji suggested.
"I … I hope that the club activities can be more serious, but if we're as serious as Wakaba and the others, it seems a little …"
If they weren't serious, it would be too depressing, but if they were serious, it would be stressful. This was a contradictory thought that most students would have, and Seiji could understand it.
"Seigo, what about you? Do you want to join the drama club?"
"I'm interested in acting, and it might be interesting to be in this club together with Wakaba, but I still have to work, and serious club activities might be too much of a burden." Seiji shrugged.
"I see …"
The two of them observed for a while longer, and then Mika looked towards the middle school girl who was silently reading.
Seiji followed her gaze, and the two of them exchanged glances.
"I think we should stop here; call her and leave together."
Mika nodded in agreement.
Seiji walked up to Shika Kagura again.
"Kagura-san, if you don't intend to join this club, why don't you leave with us? We won't disturb their activities."
Shika Kagura lifted his head and lightly glanced at Seiji before closing his poetry book and standing up.
'She's surprisingly obedient …' Seiji scratched his face awkwardly.
He gave Mika a meaningful glance before saying goodbye to Wakaba and the others, and the three of them left the drama club together.
"Harano Seigo, is there anything else you need me to do?"
Shika Kagura suddenly asked after they left the sports field.
"Er … there's no need. You can go wherever you want." Seiji glanced at the girl who had a unique personality and a cold aura. "Although I'm not a member of the drama club, I still apologize on their behalf for taking up your time."
"That club president … although she's a truly strange person, she's probably a good person. I hope that you won't blame her."
"I know," Shika Kagura said lightly as he looked towards the setting sun.
"'Appearances can be disguised, actions can be disguised, and all that is seen is false, but the true heart remains.'"
"… Another of Taylor's poems?"
"No, it's Li Yuan's."
A … whoops, a Huaxia poem? Seiji scratched his face awkwardly.
Huaxia had a rather high status in this world, so it was quite cool for her to recite a Huaxia poem … but it sounded rather subtle to him.
"Actually, I don't know much about poetry. It was just a coincidence that I was able to match your poem just now." He honestly admitted to the girl.
Shika Kagura remained silent.
"Sorry, I feel like I lied to you." Seiji smiled wryly. "But I don't have any bad intentions. If you don't mind that I don't know anything about poetry, we can still be friends."
Shika Kagura remained silent.
'That's about it.' Seiji didn't mind being ignored or rejected; this was a normal result.
"I don't need friends."
She spoke in a soft voice.
"I … don't like poetry either."
Her words seemed to vanish like bubbles in the wind.
"Er …" Seiji paused in surprise for a moment.
Before he could figure out what she meant, the girl turned around and left.
Seiji and Mika watched her leave, remaining silent for a while.
"What a … strange junior," Mika commented.
"Yeah …" Seiji was a little concerned, but it was quite obvious that she was trying to distance herself from him. He couldn't possibly chase after her.
Not needing friends … this could be seen as a chuunibyou statement, but what did it mean that she didn't like poetry?
Seiji thought about it for a moment before giving up on thinking about it.
At any rate, it would be difficult for them to meet again in the future.
"Seiji, do you still want to visit other clubs?"
"No, that's all for today. I want to go back. How about you?"
"I'll go home as well."
