Izumi-senpai comfortably remained on my lap until the end of the Mentor Program time. Once the bell chimed, the fake delinquent tried running away without saying anything.
Obviously, I followed and caught up to her. Even if she didn’t want to talk about what transpired in the room, I walked alongside her, escorting her straight to their clubroom.
On the way there, Izumi-senpai moped a lot as though I did her wrong. She’s even looking back every few steps to make sure that I kept the distance of three steps behind her.
Well, I took that as the girl being too embarrassed with how she acted.
When we reached their clubroom, I somehow stole the thunder from Ogawa when the Mentors of Saki and Hina were smitten by me.
They dropped whatever lively conversation they had with the guy to introduce themselves to me and at the same time, get my name.
Noticing that, the mesmerized Arisa recovered from her trance and quickly squeezed in between us, pulling me inside the room while ignoring the baffled Ogawa and the two Mentors.
Moreover, I noticed Hina and Saki standing up from their seats and sent a meaningful wink at Arisa. Moments later, they went over to prevent their Mentors from chasing after me and sent them away in the process.
Yep… Even without preparation, the three somehow cooperated with each other to send away the girls who were trying to hit on me.
Izumi-senpai was speechless once more while Ogawa’s forehead wrinkled a bit thanks to what he witnessed.
“Ruki, I think I’m going to drool over you,” Arisa whispered and she brought me to her corner, sat me down and held my head between her palms.
“It’s fine. I’ll lick the drool off you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“… On a second thought, won’t that be disgusting?” Arisa slightly cringed at the thought.
“Well, not really. I mean, we often exchanged drools during our kisses.”
“That’s a different story!”
She paused for at least a few seconds before retorting. Perhaps, she visualized what I said.
Well, if she wanted to, I could kiss her here even with the presence of Ogawa. After everything, it’s only a matter of time for him to also find out that I got my hands on Arisa as well. And soon… Izumi-senpai – if she failed at my request.
“So? It’s the same drool, instead of getting it straight from your mouth, I’m gonna lick it.”
“Ugh… Alright, that’s getting weird. Let’s stop with the drool talk…” Arisa laughed a bit before focusing on my face again. “You know, Ruki. I thought they were kidding when they said that it’s a transformation that we didn’t expect… Now, I’m convinced. This is something else…”
Arisa sighed in amazement before her lips curved into a contented smile.
Seeing that, my heart skipped a bit and I was once again drawn by her irresistible charisma.
“Mhm… Me too. I’m convinced that getting a haircut is truly worth it.”
Totally worth it considering all of my girls have this positive reaction to my new look.
Anyway, after saying that, I did what I was just thinking earlier. Kissing her while ignoring Ogawa in the room, Arisa tried to pull away at first but once my tongue invaded her mouth, she soon succumbed to the temptation and heatedly returned the courtesy.
Once we’re done. I noticed Hina and Saki waiting at my side… That’s why, without thinking twice, I pulled them closer and gave them the same treatment.
After spending a few minutes there just flirting with my girls while ignoring the gloating Ogawa as well as the other two boys who arrived a few minutes after us, I could say that I was extremely satisfied when I left the clubroom to do my usual routine
Inside the Book Club, since Himeko was the last one to see me in my new look. I spent most of my time there telling Haruko and the others about my exhausting day while cuddling the rich and shy girl.
Apart from that, while drinking tea, I got informed by Haruko that our clubhouse would be handled by them. In other words, Haruko along with the other girls from the club would fill it with the pieces of furniture we needed.
They’re going to employ the one who made their hidden room to smuggle what we needed for it inside this campus.
I asked Haruko who it was and she pointed me to a rather peculiar club. ‘Homebuilders Club’.
When I asked for more context, Haruko and the other girls smiled as they talked about the former members of the Poem Appreciation Club.
Yep. Haruko’s girls were originally seven. So, they’re talking about the two who already graduated.
“One of them was a member of the Homebuilder Club. And she’s the one who built that room bit by bit. I messaged her last week but I only received her reply today…” Haruko narrated.
Her name is Matsunaga Mutsumi. A 1st year in college this year.
Haruko cut her off when she graduated, using the same style I did for them back then.
“I asked her if she could ask her juniors from that club to help us with our problem. However, she presented herself to do it. What do you think?”
Obviously, Haruko told me all about this not just to inform me about our plan to make that clubhouse our future gathering spot but also to check if I will react to the mention of her former lover.
“Mhm… If she can help us restore the clubhouse then no problem.” I answered instantly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI honestly didn’t feel negative about them mentioning her. No jealousy nor remorse. I mean, Haruko already cut her off. And even if the girl still held feelings for Haruko, I highly doubt Haruko would reciprocate it.
Perhaps, she befriended her again. And that’s it.
Haruko delightfully clapped her hand once, “As expected of my hubby. You should be there when we meet her. I want to introduce you to her.”
“Introduce me?”
“Yes… To show her the guy who changed me. Truthfully, my relationship with her was more of a best friend than a lover. I helped her with her insecurity and at the same time, she helped me with adjusting after that heartbreak you gave me. And being two years older than me, she’s always taking the role of an elder sister to everyone.”
Haruko playfully emphasized the heartbreak which made even Aya laugh.
I smiled wryly at it before responding, “She must be an interesting person. Also… out with it… The truth is she wants to meet me, right?”
When I said that, Mina, Himeko and even Edel reacted differently, Edel cheerfully clapped as though I did a good job. Mina facepalmed and clicked her tongue while Himeko, who’s still cuddled by me, simply whispered ‘good job’.
I got my guess right.
Seeing all that, it became Haruko’s turn to smile awkwardly. “Hubby, sometimes, I will appreciate it if you pretend to not notice something.”
“Alright. I’ll keep it in mind. Anyway, I’m also curious about her now that you mentioned that she single-handedly created that hidden room. I also want to thank her.”
“If you say that to her face, she’ll be clearly weirded out by you. Anyway, that’s it. She’ll have time to visit and check on us sometime this week.”
After adding a few more details about Matsunaga Mutsumi, the time for me to leave arrived. I still have one more stop before coming into my work at the Student Council, after all.
Anyway, before, Edel also asked for a cuddle. And being the guy who couldn’t resist spoiling his girls, I naturally spoiled my lovely koala as well as the other three. There’s no way I would forget about them.
