“Seriously Takeda? Sakura-chan here was just about to say yes to joining me at the culture festival!” Toru arrogantly complained as if he was being victimized.

Jeez, talk about being a narcissist. Looking at Haruka-senpai’s direction told me all I need to know. She doesn't enjoy how pushy Toru is, it's obvious this guy Isn't gonna budge until he gets what he wants.

“I meant what I said Toru, go sit down, the club's meeting is about to start.” Takeda-senpai raised his voice.

“Just give me a minute, then I'll go sit at Nozomi-chan's table.” Toru complained even further.

“Orders are Orders, Sit. Down.” Takeda-senpai's voice was getting higher.

“Seriously!? Ugh, hey Rin, Go swap seats with me, You sit at Nozomi-chan's table!” Toru looked at me as if he had any authority over me.

“...” I didn't bother responding, I'm not letting this guy make me losenmy cool.

“Come on now, I'll even treat you to something good later, Just switch seats with me and call it off with Sakura-chan.” Toru's voice was starting to annoy me.

Talk about a drama king, does this guy not see that he's bringing unwanted attention to not just Himself but also Haruka-senpai.

“I'm staying right where I am, and Haruka-senpai has already accepted my proposal.” were the only words he was gonna get out of me.

“Hahahaha! That's a good one, Well then Sakura-chan did you.” Toru was definitely pretending to not be bothered.

My guess is this guy is so used to having his way that he cannot fathom rejection. Takeda-senpai might be popular but he's humble and respectful, not how I would be caught describing Toru over here.

“Eh? I…” Haruka-senpai looked unsure on how to answer Toru.

“I said that's enough, Move it Toru.”

“Hey!”

Takeda-senpai placed his hand on Toru and forced him to go to his seat near that Nozomi girl.

“Move it Toru!”

It's hard to believe those guys are friends, especially after knowing those rumors that Toru has circulating about him.

“Now that's that settled, everyone please pay attention right here.”

Takeda-senpai started explaining the club's plan for the culture festival. He explained how our club was gonna set up a few food stalls near each other in order to build profit for donating towards charity.

Isn't just running a food stall too cliché for our group?

“Takeda-senpai, Don't you think it would be unfitting for our club to just be selling food instead of maybe a theatrical performance?” Haruka-senpai raised her hand and asked Takeda-senpai’s decision.

“That's a good question Haruka-chan, the reason we're gonna setting up food stalls and not something like a play or film is due to the budgetary costs of it.”

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

“Budget constraints?”

“Yes, when the student council discussed with club leaders the plans for the culture festival, they said that due to our club being the result of three mergers, it would be too costly for the school if we took up too many space, so a large scale performance would skyrocket the cost for the school to funs us.”

Throughout the discussion it felt like someone kept looking at me… I was trying to remain subtle by only barely moving my eyes around my field of vision while slightly tilting my head left and right.

I grabbed my phone and sent Senko a message.

“I feel like someone is observing me directly, I need you to quickly look around if someone is doing just that.”

“Gotcha”

Now hopefully that should be enough to figure it out right?

My phone vibrated! Did Senko spot anyone!?

“Someone is looking at Yuuki”

“And that is… ? “

“well~ according to my 360° no-scope quick shot eyesight”

Oh brother, not this again!th

“The girl looking at Yuuki is the Nozomi girl at Toru-senpai's table.”

“You're joking right?”

“Nah, my 360° no-scope quick shot eyesight is never wrong! To this, I can conclude that Nozomi-chan has a crush on Yuuki!

“I'm guessing this is the same girl you Said found me cute?”

“Wrong! I told you that one of our Senpai finds you cute, that doesn't mean they have a crush on you! However I'am very confident that Nozomi-chan does like Yuuki!”

“Are you joking? because if you are I'm not even gonna bother with her!”

“You sure? The girl is very cute you know, she's short and also petite, much like your favorite girl from the manga we read!

“Hold up, are you implying I'm some kind of lolicon!?

“Aren't you?“

“No!”

Reading his message made me wonder how reliable his words are. It's like he is implying that I have some sort of love triangle.

Even if anyone else does like Me I would just turn them down immediately and not elaborate at all.

Much like how Haruka-senpai doesn't owe me a relationship, that same logic also applies to me, I don't owe anyone anything!

The meeting continued and Takeda decided that our 3 food stalls would be split into three categories, “Lunches, Refreshments, and Desserts” I'm assuming by refreshments he meant drinks.

I'm gonna be honest, I love the idea of cooking for my club's food stalls! It might help me show off my own cooking skills hehe!

The club meeting continued and after a while, Takeda-senpai started a Q&A before the meeting ended.

I quickly raised my hand.

“Yes?”

“For the food stalls are we gonna be cooking on the spot? Or will the food be prepared beforehand?”

I'm hoping we get to cook on the spot!

“On the contrary, we're gonna have to be able to cook on the spot and food prepared beforehand. It's gonna help convince the student Council our club is very valuable, so if anyone is willing to cook Please raise your hand.”

I quickly raised my hand while I was still standing up.

“Yes?”

“Let me handle the cooking.”

“Hahaha, I like your attitude, you see this everyone? I expect each of you to show the same optimism and enthusiasm as Yuuki-san over here.’

Getting Praised like that in front of Haruka-senpai and that jerk Toru was the ultimate ego boost!

“Takeda-senpai, I promise I'll do my best!” I clenched my fist to reassure my value!

“Hold on, I remember that Yuuki here is a really great cook?” I heard Senko's voice shouting while his head was ducking under the table!

Is this guy trying to hype me up? Or mess with me!?

I suddenly had several other students come up to my spot on the table asking if I could cook their favorite food, much to Takeda-senpai’s dismay and Senko and Haruka-senpai’s amusement.

Time passed and the meeting has concluded and it was time for us to go home as well. Senko, Haruka-senpai and I ended up all walking together. The sun was just about to start setting.

“Ugh, I can't believe Senko suddenly announced to the entire club how I'm supposed to be this “master chef!” as a joke!”

“Come on, we're trying to boost your popularity among the girls, remember?” Senko winked.

“Popular?” Haruka-senpai raised an eyebrow.

Jeez, can't he be even less subtle?

“That's right, Yuuki-san and I are planning to help him get popular among the other girls.” Senko placed his arm around my neck as if We already “agreed” To his false hoaxes!

“Eh?? Is Yuuki-kun interested in anyone?” Haruka-senpai broke a sweat from Senko's ways of explaining.

“Haruka-senpai please don't believe any of his lies, If i wanted to be popular I would have challenged Toru to a cook off by now.” I threw my head back and headbutted Senko.

“Gahh! Why'd you do that!?”

“Personal space!”

We suddenly heard Haruka-senpai giggling in amusement.

“Stop fighting you two, if Senko-kun plans to support Yuuki-kun to be popular among the girls, He has to allow Yuuki-kun to talk for himself.”

“See?” I bluntly glared at Senko.

“And if Yuuki plans to reach a girl's heart he must at least be capable of showing his more likable traits.” Haruka-senpai had a slight smile.

“What do you mean by my likable traits?”

“Not telling~ well I'll be heading this way now, Let's all meet up in kyoryu online okay?” Haruka-senpai stood around the next turn, her smile really was adorable and the sunlight really emphasized her outer beauty, fortunately though, only I knew of her inner beauty!

Haruka-senpai split off while Senko and I continued walking together.

“That went well didn't it?” Senko spoke up.

“It did… thank you for having my back, it feels like I keep ending up relying on you for support especially after Haruka-senpai got ahead of us in education.”

“Don't mention it, I should Be thanking Yuuki for being like a brother from a different mother. Simply having each other's back is the best payment you can give me in return, that's what brothers are like right.”

“Yeah…”

A while Later, Senko and I arrived at my house first, and we waves Our goodbyes.

“I'm back home.”

“Welcome back- Did something happen at school?” Akane greeted me home.

“You co

uld say that.”

“Eh~~? Care to tell Onee-san then?”

“Maybe, but only if you buy me ice cream.”

“Hahaha! Deal.”

I quickly changed to comfortable clothing before Akane and I went to have ice cream together while I explained what happened.

It was now after dinner, I put the vr headset back on and then…
