Livelier Clubroom

"Ah! Ruki... You brought another girl!" Otsuka-senpai exclaimed as we arrived at the Literature Club.

She pointed at me and then at Reira-senpai before her eyes went down to our entwined hands. Behind her, Kana, Rae, Rumi, and Hana had varied reactions though. Kana and Rumi were looking at Reira-senpai like an acquaintance. Most likely they had already interacted before. The three of them were all in the same year, after all.

Rae nudged her glasses as though she suddenly felt threatened at the appearance of another glasses girl. Hana, on the other hand, was the same as always. She had this confident air around her, treating everyone the same. Well, not that much anymore since she's already warming up to the other girls, especially to Chii and Hifumi.

"Karen, I mentioned this yesterday. I'm recruiting actors for our booth. Reira-senpai here is just the first one. There will be more."

"Eh? You're bringing more of your girls? Is that it?"

"Who says they'll all be my girls?"
