Chapter 17: Chapter 16: I don’t really like poems

"Seiji, what did you say to that girl?"

When he returned to where Mika and Chiaki were standing, Seiji was instantly peppered with their questions.

"I just wanted to ask her name and grade to start a conversation with her, but I failed." Seiji shrugged.

"Did you really fail? It seemed like you were getting along pretty well." Chiaki blinked innocently, "Mika was even getting jealous."

"Not at all!" Once again, Mika was the unwitting target of her friend’s teasing, but her face was indeed slightly flushed red.

"I just… felt like she was really cute, but she had a cold aura about her. It seemed that it would be difficult to talk with her, so… I was impressed with Seiji being able to talk with her so easily."

"No, it wasn’t easy at all," Seiji sighed lightly, "I just wanted to greet her, but she immediately quizzed me on two poems… I almost wasn’t able to follow up."

"But that means you were still able to respond—amazing!" Chiaki gave him a thumbs-up, "In my opinion, for girls that love literature, as long as you can converse about her favorite topics, it’s relatively easy to capture their heart. If you make a sincere effort, maybe you can even get her phone number!"

"Forget it, I really can’t deal with her type." Seiji smiled wryly before realizing what Chiaki just said. "Why would I want a middle schooler’s phone number!? Chiaki, you sound so certain… Do you usually…"

Chiaki Wakaba’s expression suddenly became unnaturally stiff, and then she conspicuously looked away while whistling.

Seiji and Mika were rendered speechless upon seeing Chiaki’s reaction.

Unfortunately, the two leaders of the drama club failed to convince Shika Kagura to join.

While Shika Kagura was indeed beautiful, her personality was entirely unsuited to be on stage, so the president had wasted her effort in ‘capturing’ Shika this time.

Anya Saigenji didn’t seem disappointed at all, though—it seemed that she derived the most joy from the process of hunting down potential members.

"Chiaki’s good friend, Mika Uehara, and transfer student, Seigo Harano—are the two of you interested in joining the drama club!?"

With her eyes sparkling, Anya Saigenji directly questioned the two observers.

"I’m in the tennis club…"

"I still want to check more clubs out—I haven’t made a final decision yet."

"Acting is really fun! Why don’t you try on some costumes first? I’m sure that you’ll awaken a new passion!" Saigenji eagerly began trying to tempt the two of them to join.

*Smack!* The vice president who disagreed with deceiving students in this way stopped her with a book again.

"We’re about to begin our club activities—feel free to watch." Sheena Shiho smiled amicably to the two of them before sighing: "By the way, could I trouble you guys to take care of that girl the Prez dragged here? She’s quite cold to us, and she won’t even tell us her name… Maybe she’s angry at us…"

"No… you guys just didn’t pass her test." Seiji answered reflexively.

"Huh?" Sheena was confused.

"I just chatted a little with her… From my perspective, I don’t think she hates you guys, nor does she care about being dragged here… she’ll probably leave automatically once the time comes."
