The Hopeless Junior
“Again, you're late. And what’s this? You brought another girl with you. She’s not even from our school!”
Faced with the grumpy Rumi, hands on her waist after opening the door for us, I could only force a smile as the vampire fanatic quickly hid behind me. She felt the pressure coming from the senior in front of her.
Soon afterward, Nina peeked her head out slightly to greet and introduce herself to Rumi.
“Hello, senpai. I am Nagase Nina, Ruki-senpai’s junior. I’m here to investigate him!”
“Investigate?”
“Yes! His origins as the Noble of the Night!”
“Noble of the… What? Hey Ruki, where did you pick this girl up?”
Baffled at the words coming out of her mouth, Rumi turned to me.
“Downstairs. Don’t mind her. She has a wild imagination.”
I answered which made the vampire fanatic step out of hiding to retort or maybe defend her cause.
“It's not my imagination! You're purposefully playing dumb, senpai!”
Rumi alternately looked at us before settling at me.
