Chapter 22 - Visiting clubs

Chapter 22

"Welcome to Shuchiin Academy. I am your homeroom teacher..."

Currently, the homeroom teacher is enthusiastically welcoming us, and explaining the rules of this academy. I just boredly look outside the windows waiting for the homeroom to be finished. What comes after homeroom was ordinarily an introduction to each other.

I, like usual, obtained the seat on the far left, and incidentally, Kaori also got the same seat which is in front of me.

"Kaori, have you decided what club you are going to enter? Should we join the same classical music club? It seems there is one in this academy," I whispered to Kaori who look like properly listening to the homeroom.

"Hehe, I don't think I want to join the classical music club this time. Because we're already a kind of professional in the classical music world right? And I also want to try other things!" Kaori answered enthusiastically.

"Well, that's true. Even though you haven't won any competition, you have your fair share of fans after all. Also, In fact, there is a club I'm interested in." I said with a teasing smirk.

"Ugh, why did you say that... *hmph* It's not like I am wrong, after all, it's uninteresting if we merely play as the sheet told us!"She pouted and said.

"Agreed, Music should be played beautifully with emotions to touch the heart of people," I nodded and wisely said.

"Hoho...There is no word to comment about that if mister number one pianist in the world said it," Kaori smirked teasingly.

While we were chatting, our homeroom teacher finally finished her talks. Next, she called a student's name one by one to introduce themselves.

Before our turns, there is someone who I recognized introduces himself. A blond hair, sharp blue eyes that look like someone who lacks sleep.

"My name is Shirogane Miyuki, please treat me well," He said then immediately back to sit.

If I recall it clearly, the meeting of Shirogane and Kaguya will happen this week. But originally the one he met was the originally cold looking Kaguya while the one that exists on right now is already a bit milder Kaguya.

Additionally, the reason for their meeting is that Shirogane got recruited by the student council president and pulled to help the student council.

I don't think he would get recruited this time. Because the current student council president wasn't even the one that showed in the story, but another student that I don't know of. With this, the reason he joined the student council also gone.

Well, I will try befriending him then. He looks like someone who can't follow the conversation of this academy's students. And because he is from outside school like I am. The difference is I am just as wealthy as them.

Anyway while thinking about that, the introduction continues smoothly. Kaori and I have finished our introduction. As expected, every student in this class knew about Kaori and me since they likely have seen classical music competitions or a concert.

When we introduced ourselves, murmurings can be heard from everyone in the class except Shirogane. It seems neither he nor his little sister knew about me beforehand.

"Let's go look for clubs, Izu!" Kaori said excitedly.

"Sure sure, let's go then," I said with a wry smile. Before we were able to go out of the classroom, some girls come to us asking for a sign.

"A-Ano... Kitahara-sama, can I get your autograph here please?" a girl said while showing a sheet of clean paper and pen.

"Ano... Miyazono-sama, can I also get your autograph please?" another girl simultaneously said to Kaori.

"Ano... Me too..."

"Me too"

In the end, we can only sign it first before able to looking around for clubs. Meanwhile, Shirogane, who doesn't have any idea who are we looking at our directions with a bewildered expression.

After some time, we finally finished signing to all of them then we excuse ourselves before more people coming.

We visited some clubs that we think interesting to try like calligraphy club, judo club, tennis club, and art club. We tried writing kanji in calligraphy club, turns out neither of us has any talent in it and the results are we can only write normal Kanji without any sense of art. The club's president even looking at us with a troubled face and saying "Emm...how about you two try another club first."

Then at the Judo Club, even without a technique, I who was strong as a certain green creature obviously cannot be defeated by anyone. The coach even bows his head to me saying "You can bring us to a greater height!".

I was troubled because I am uninterested in judo so I decline. But he keeps asking with bowing his head. Frankly saying, it's annoying, so I said I wouldn't join the club but if they need help in the competition I would join.

At the tennis club, well not much I can say as I have the power and extraordinary agility but I don't have any skills. Meanwhile, Kaori just swings her tennis racket. And at the art club... It's dreadful. Kaori's drawing looks like a curse from Satan.

Then the last club we're going to visit is the Archery club.

"Hey Kaguya, we come to try archery,"

"Good afternoon, Shinomiya-san" Kaori greet her too.

"Good afternoon. Welcome to Archery Club, Izumi, and Miyazono-san," Kaguya answered.

*jiii* I intently stare at Kaguya who wears Archery's uniform.

"W-what?" She questioned with a stutter and her cheek reddened.

"Archery's uniform also suits you very much," I said with an honest smile.

"I think so too!" Kaori added.

"T-thank you. F-for now, you two should change your uniform at the locker room right there." Kaguya said and pointing at the room near the entrance. Then, I and Kaori walk to the locker room to change our uniform.

*Jiii* Kaguya staring longingly at me who just finished changing. But before I can say anything, Kaori, who just finished changing, came out from the locker room.

"Oh, you look very cool in that, Izu!" Kaori said with stars on her eyes.

"Thanks, you look lovely in that too, Kaori." I praise her with a smile.

"Ehehe..." Kaori smiles coyly.

"*Cough* h-how about try to shoot?" Kaguya asked and gives Kaori her bow.

"How to do it?" Kaori asked.

Then Kaguya explained how to properly hold the bow, pulls the string, and about how we should anticipate the wind too.

"Concentrate your eyes to the bullseye. Breathe in and exhale slowly while simultaneously pull the string" Kaguya explained slowly.

"Hold this position for a bit, then release the string now!" As she said that, the arrow was speeding towards the intended target. Unfortunately, it's not hitting the bullseye, nevertheless, it's quite good for a newbie.

"You're quite suited for this, Miyazono-san," Kaguya said with a gentle smile.

"Really?! Archery is interesting! Maybe I should join the archery club."Kaori said excitedly.

"We welcomed you at that time, Miyazono-san," Kaguya said with a smile.

"Hehe, and please call me Kaori, Kaguya-san. We are friend right?" Kaori said.

"Sure, Kaori-san" Kaguya replied her calling her name directly.

"*cough* how about I try too?" I asked even though I don't want to disturb that joyful atmosphere.

"Sure! Here Izu," Kaori said and gently gave me the bow that she used before.

I positioned myself like how Kaguya explained before, comfortably hold the bow with my left hand, concentrating my eyes to the bullseye, breathes in and exhale slowly while I pulled the arrow with the string and hold the position for a bit. Before I was about to shoot, I heard the familiar sound of the camera taking a picture.

*Click*

"Yosh, I will use this as my wallpaper from now on. And I'm going to boast about this to Nanaka-san and Shiori-chan." Kaori said while she changes her smartphone wallpaper and grinned.

"*Ehem* K-Kaori-san, can I get your contact information please..." Kaguya asked Kaori with her cheek a bit red.
