Soon after we finished our drink, Ishida-senpai and I returned to the clubroom and spent the time there with the other three until it was time to go home.

We mentioned what happened in the library and that became our topic of conversation. Kana looked at me worriedly when Ishida-senpai told them how I somehow made myself involved with the two. Rae was the same as me, clueless but she offered her insight about their situation. Based on her knowledge, of course. Otsuka-senpai only heard of them from gossip and rumors and never really interacted with them. However, she got curious about being promised to each other. For her, it’s like straight out of fiction. Her pretty round eyes once again shone brilliantly as she quickly turned the conversation to it. If not for the bell’s chime, she would probably go on and on about it until she gets exhausted.

Anyway, I walked all of them to their bus stops for a change. Before going back and doing the usual checking on my girls and walking them if possible.

But I ended up waiting for Satsuki’s practice to finish.

I got drawn to watching her do her best in practice. Perhaps, I also got the motivational piece for her to do that.

I sat down on one of the benches and just watched them. Good thing, Eguchi-sensei allowed me when I asked her. That’s probably a bonus for being her Student Assistant and assisting her all the time.

Although those from the Boys’ Basketball Club wondered who I was or what I was doing there, I ignored their stares and just watched.

Uh. I also got treated rather well by the other club members, the manager, the second years and some first years who were just warming the bench. Although I committed their names and faces to memory, I could somehow notice how different I was from them. It highlighted that I was only overly considerate of those I was interested in. I thank them for their treatment though and surely, they’re not after me.

Anyway, by the time I reached the bus stop with Satsuki, stars already dotted the night sky. Those from her club went on ahead, giving us space and time for each other.

And due to that, the girl didn’t hold back in showing her affection. Hugging my arm tightly and resting her head on my shoulder as we walked side by side.

While waiting for her bus to arrive, we talked about her club and other things worth mentioning. She told me that Setsuna started calling her every night to ask for updates about our relationship. It’s like she’s writing a journal about her little sister’s romantic adventures. Koizumi-san was reprimanding her and apologizing to Satsuki in her sister’s stead. Somehow, that made it look like Juri is her sister and not Setsuna.

As for Setsuna’s relationship with Sakuma, her sister was tight-lipped. Although she didn’t openly express interest, she appeared to be waiting for Sakuma to do something.

I don’t know about that guy. I have no time to talk about that to him and he’s not like a lost dog asking for instruction anymore. I guess he believed he got the situation under control.

“You’ll come to watch?”

“Of course. And surely, the others will come too. Nami, Aya, Chii, Hina and even Saki. Aren’t you all getting closer together?”

“Uh… But they’re still my rivals when it comes to you.”

“True. So, you don’t want them to come?”

“I want! But you better be there. I'd be mad if you didn’t show up.”

At this point, this girl just wanted to hear me say yes and repeat it over and over. To satisfy herself.

“What about another courage boost in your locker room before the game?”

“Pervert.”

Although she said that, Satsuki blushed and covered her rosy cheeks. Grabbing that hand and moving it away, I pushed my face closer, taking her in another passionate kiss. Once we’re done, I said in a seductive tone. “You love this pervert, anyway.”

Obviously, that was met with her hateful glare and bloated cheeks which just made her more attractive to me.

“If you’re going to keep teasing me, kiss me more instead. The bus is coming.”

“Oh. Right… Well then…”

Savoring that remaining time we had together, both of us said our farewell for today happy and satisfied.

On the train, I once again ran into Sumire who looked like she had just finished practicing again.

Instead of pushing another passenger to give her seat, I offered mine to the girl.

Well, that was the result of Chii giving me a lesson about common sense. At least I got to apply it in this situation.

“Wow. Senpai, what have you eaten? You seem like a changed man?”

This girl had no breaks, huh? Is it that obvious that I lack common sense before?

“Common sense candy, perhaps?”

“Pfft. Where did you buy that? I think I also need one. I now want to reflect on my habit of preaching about Asahi.”

“Huh? Have you hit your pretty head somewhere? Let’s go and stop by a clinic to get you checked.”

I exaggeratedly reached for her wrist and acted like pulling her out of the train. It was moving and the train cars were obviously closed so all we got was the other passengers’ odd looks.

“Y-you! Am I that mental to you, senpai? That hurts.”

“My poor junior is hurt. That’s bad. I gotta give you something, right?”

“What can you give? Common sense candy?”

“Sorry. That’s rare. And I need those the most. Can’t give any to you.”

I lowered my head a bit, acting apologetic which made the girl stifle another laughter.

“You cheapskate. And you call yourself a senior.”

“You can also call me your junior, I don’t mind.”

At this point, we somehow got our own world. I guess it’s pretty relaxing for me to talk to this girl.

“Senpai, I now know that your shamelessness knows no bounds.” Sumire raised her hand on both sides, gesturing a surrender.

“Great. That’s what I am advertising. Anyway, here I’ll send a treat to you.” I ruffled her hair and said before opening my phone and tapping on it.

“Huh?” Confused at the sudden ringing of her phone, the girl looked at me suspiciously.

“Just check your phone and put on your earpiece. I just sent you my singing voice.”

“Eww… I don’t like to hear that, senpai.”

“I’m kidding. Just check it or better yet, check it on your walk home. The train is about to arrive to your station.”

What I sent to her was obviously one of Yue’s voice messages. Its content was the girl singing acapella to one of her hit songs. I mentioned to her about her avid fan who kept on preaching about her celebrity persona. Although she told me that she could throw away that status easily, the way she reacted upon knowing a die-hard fan was like any other celebrity, delighted.

So she sang that song and allowed me to give it to the girl if I ever run into her again.

“Alright then, senpai. You seem too chatty today. You in a good mood?”

“Sure, I am. I got a smooch from my girl.”

“Gross.” The girl stuck her tongue as though she was disgusted at what I said. But her laughter followed it.

We continued in that kind of banter until the train arrived at her station and I got my seat back.

I should avoid her next time or ignore her message that would surely come after hearing what I sent to her.

In any case, another day has passed, huh? Man, I miss my girls already.
