Part 1
The following morning, he didn’t meet with Kusakabe on his way to school.
Well it’s that lousy and slacking Kusakabe he was talking about. So considering him, it was maybe a series of coincidental events that he was able to meet with him every day.
And just like imagined it felt kind of comfortable walking alone like this to school but, on the other hand, it was his bad habit of end up thinking and worrying about various kinds of things while being alone like that.
“Thinking about it, I wonder if I will be forced to go to the club instead of the library from now.”
That was his today’s worry.
As he just entered as a Temporary Member, he didn’t had any obligations to go in the club. But still, he wondered that maybe it is essential to show his face at least on the first day of the club or not? In order to not make Tendou disappointed in him as well.
Having said that, he was still feeling very uneasy. As the place, to go After School from Middle School was always the library. So that’s why he was planning to spend the last year of high school with his friends – “Books” in his own Pace, just like he did in the former 2 years of his high school life. But……,
That life of his might change from now on.
‘I have never imagined even in my wildest dreams that something like this will happen.’
It’s not like he particularly hated that change as he was starting to take interest in something like games as well. And there was also the desire to play more of Spelunker and Uncharted and even more types of games. Plus, there was even Tendou in the club. For though she might have feelings for Sena-sensei, however with just spending such long time together with her made him happy.
But staying as a temporary member like this for now will only end up disappointing her more. On the other hand, as the problem about him having the qualifications to really join the club vanished, his determination to officially join the club also vanished somewhere.
Slowly, he started to hate his Indecisive self.
“U—u—u—umm…… its Kis.h.i.+mine-senpai……right?”
His name suddenly got called from behind. Somewhat melodious, and yet afraid voice, he quickly remembered the origin of that voice clearly.
And as he turned back, as per his imagination it was a figure of Modern Game Club’s another temporary member, Niitani Sanae.
It was quite surprising. He never thought that he will be approached like this on his way to school, more so by the androphobic her.
“M—m—morning, Niitani-san.”
To begin with, he never had any experience of getting approached by a girl during his commute to school. So unintentionally he greeted with a loud voice.
“Umm……I am sorry to suddenly call you like that. As I saw you from inside of the car, I thought of going together with you……”
While cowering just like a little puppy, Niitani said.
On the other side of her, a big car which was stopped could be seen. It was not Benz but, the big guy who was sitting on the driver’s seat, was clearly glaring at him and his glare were clearly telling him “Try doing something strange, you’ll not be able to leave this place on your feet.”.
He was somewhat taken aback but, he clearly saw that she forced herself to approach him. So he just couldn’t flat out refuse those feelings of her, and he didn’t have the courage to refuse a request from a girl in the first place.
“I—I am fine with it……”
He answered without making an eye encounter with the chauffeur as much as possible.
“T—thank you very much. W—well then……”
They started walking towards the school together. But then, as Niitani was 3 steps distant from him, it couldn’t be said that they were together if seen from a 3rd person prospective.
For Kis.h.i.+mine it was a strange state.
He didn’t able to understand the reason of getting such kind of proposal from Niitani, even though it was just a course of events, he didn’t thought that a day like this will come in his life that he will be able to go to school together with a girl. And to add another thing on top of it, there was an existence of a car following them from behind without making a spec of sound, which again too was quite frightening.
“U—umm, Niitani-san?”
As they couldn’t have stayed like that, Kis.h.i.+mine finally mustered his courage and asked.
“Y—yes!? W—what is it?”
“W—why with someone like me, I mean, you decided to go together to school? No, It’s not like it’s a bother or something like that but, look, you……No, the other girls from the Izunomiya Academy too seems to be bad with guys……right?”
He frantically and carefully chose his words.
“U—umm. It’s just as you said; even I haven’t talked to the boys of my cla.s.s yet…… But, I lately started to think that it’s not good to continue like this as the school itself has already become co-ed. And so there as I am also a member of the Student Council, thought to follow the ways of the President who is so good at dealing with boys ……Ah, I—I am sorry! I, might’ve said something impolite……”
“No, It’s fine. If it’s like that then you can use me as many times as you want.”
In other words, he might end up becoming a guinea pig in curing her androphobia. But, he just couldn’t become angry at her. As he obvious saw her doing her best in her own way, so he just couldn’t able to laugh at that effort of hers.
Plus, He too is somewhat similar to her in that aspect.
“N—now that you mention it, Tendou-san looked fine dealing with me and Sena-sensei didn’t she?”
“Ah, Yes. It looks like that way.”
“She also grown up with all-girls school environment……didn’t she? I wonder how she is fine like that?”
“Ah……I—I too getting curious about that asked President before. Do you know? President’s seems to be born on April 2nd.”
“Heh. No, I didn’t knew about that……”
“As April 1st considered to be as an early born so that’s why it seems like the one born on April 2nd end up becoming Onee-san the fastest. That’s why I, have to do my best as an Onee-san for everyone……she said something like that.”
Involuntarily Kis.h.i.+mine end up laughing.
When he thought that due to such childish reasoning’s, she even end up Drop Kicking a teacher, he found it pretty amusing.
“Somehow it’s like her.”
“Yes, Really.”
Niitani also started laughing.
And then, both got silent. It somehow ended up in a good mood but, it was a little embarra.s.sing for both of them as well.
“W—which reminds me——”
Like that, this time while hiding her embarra.s.sment Niitani brought up the subject.
“Were you able to join the Modern Game Club?”
“Eh? Ah, No, I still don’t know. I am thinking of trying playing games a bit more to decide……”
“Is that so? I thought that boys these days will be delighted just of the fact that they will be allowed to play games……”
“It’s probably because I am one of the exceptional cases when it comes to those things. Ah, but still comparatively, there are no boys in the Modern Game Club, aren’t they? On the outline, I heard that there are around 20 boys in the High School Division but…… as I thought it’s due to those Conditions after all, huh?”
“Ah, I think that’s……”
After saying something, Niitani closed her mouth.
Which meant, that the reason was something, she can’t say easily like that.
“I—is something else there? By any chance……it’s because of Sena-sensei?”
“……Yes. Or so I think. As expected everyone, don’t want to get involved with that Sensei in any sort of way……”
“Ah—”
Somehow able to consent with just that piece information, was quite frightening in itself.
It’s because he’s a type of person, who said something like “Don’t you want to try marrying a Seiyuu” with such a serious look. And Kis.h.i.+mine himself wouldn’t’ve even approach him if he hadn’t got kidnapped in the first place.
“I wonder why a person like him is a teacher?”
“It’s because he is quite a famous teacher in the World of Physics. He is acting as a head of something which is not one his field, but his lessons are famous for being very easy to understand everywhere. To an extent which made rumours such as that he was a brink away in having the n.o.bel Prize for Physics……”
“……T—that sure is amazing.”
The saying “Heaven does not grant people more than one talent” started to float inside in his mind. Probably, I wonder if G.o.d ended up making a mistake vectoring his physics talent rather his character.
“The rest of the problem is the atmosphere I think.”
“Atmosphere?”
“Isn’t our School is like an overly serious Ojou-sama School? Well of course there are just too many girls who haven’t even gone to Karaoke or bowling but that’s more the reason it becomes a type of atmosphere that doesn’t allow anyone to say that they like games and stuff……”
“H—heh……”
Considering both Games and Karaoke, they both have an image of an amus.e.m.e.nt build for common people. In the Izunomiya Academy which was filled with just Ojou-sama’s, those types of things is one to expect hard to approach.
“But, if that’s the case then I wonder why Tendou-san joined the club? I heard that it was to create a place for boys but……”
“Eh? You don’t know reason?”
Somehow Niitani suddenly got puzzled as if she was deceived by a fox or something.
“Hm? Did something happen?”
“Ah, No, Umm…….”
Now she looked like as if she was brooding over something.
“……T—that’s right. You just joined the club haven’t you? Then that’s expected if you don’t know about it yet…… President said that it’s a secret not to tell anyone but……But, if you’re going to end up becoming a member then you must also know about it.”
“W—what do you mean? Just what is it about?”
As he asked, Niitani after remaining quiet for a while, put a determined look on her face and then said.
“Uhm…… Today at Lunch break…… if possible around 12:55 P.M. will be good. I will ask Sena-sensei to leave the lock open. So secretly, go to audio-visual prep-room. You know that the audio-visual prep-room and the nearby No.2 audio-visual room are connected right? Enter from that door without making any sound. Though I don’t think she will notice a little bit of a noise.”
“……so basically you want me to sneak-in? Say why do you want me to do something like that……?”
As he asked her, he doesn’t know why but Niitani looked as if she was enjoying herself a lot.
“That’s something you will have to see and enjoy once you go there. But I am quite sure that you’ll be able to know President’s Secret there.”
“H—heh……”
It’s not something admirable to peek at someone’s secret. However, if he was told that he’ll get to see the secret of Tendou, the typical interest gushes forth from him no matter what.
While they were talking about that, the school started to appear. And at the same time, Niitani strangely started to become restless.
And he somehow able to grasp the reason for that as well.
“It will be wise to separate our ways from here. As there are also cla.s.smates watching, you also don’t want to make them see that you are commuting together with the boy……right?”
Niitani then making a complex expression of relief and disappointment apologised.
“Umm…… if you excuse me then…… I—I am terribly sorry, I am doing something very rude don’t I……?”
“Ah, I—it’s fine! As we both have our positions to consider as well…… And even if I was in your position I might’ve thought about various things just like you. Well then I, will go ahead.”
“Ah, But Umm!”
Behind his back who was hastily trying to leave the place, once again Niitani called.
“Umm, Kis.h.i.+mine-senpai you were really easy to talk to, and I also enjoyed myself a lot. So, if we get another chance like this again……can we walk together again?”
“Eh…… A—aah, Okay.”
To those unexpected words, he gave nothing but a suitable response.
“Thank Goodness. Well then, see you.”
Niitani while laughing happily waved her hand a little.
“…………”
Without saying anything, Kis.h.i.+mine this time again headed towards the school gate at a quick pace.
She enjoyed her time together with him. And she wanted to be together again if get another chance. Excluding Miyabi-chan, it was his first time in his life that he was told something like that.
It was not anything in any romantic way. On the contrary, he was just a companion who she found just easy to talk to. But he was genuinely happy if only a bit, to be able to make her cute junior happy.
Kis.h.i.+mine finally started to feel grat.i.tude of the fact of getting transferred to this school.
Part 2
And thus the Lunch Break came.
Kis.h.i.+mine was frantically accompanied to Kusakabe’s talk while eating his Bentou [5-A], and when the needle of the clock was just about to hit the 12:55P.M., he left the cla.s.sroom while making an excuse like “I will go to the toilet for a sec”
He was reluctant on the idea of peeking on someone secret but, Niitani also went that far to tell him about that, and above all it was difficult in controlling his desires to know more about Tendou. Plus, he thought that if it was that much of an inconvenient secret then, Niitani who was like a fan of Tendou wouldn’t have told him about that.
He went downstairs, and reached the 2nd Floor. On this floor were No.1 and No.2 audio-visual rooms and the Modern Game Club which was in the audio-visual prep-room.
First, as per told he entered inside the No.2 audio-visual room. And just as he thought it was unlocked this time. And like that he pa.s.sed through the lines of desks and headed towards the door which connected the room to the audio-visual prep-room on the inner side of the room.
“She said to sneak-in right……?”
He asked himself again and again before, that why there is such a need to do something like this but, at the moment he was not even bothered by the fact that he was actually doing that. And gently pushed the door and opened it a bit without making as much as noise he could.
As the room was built on the disposition of being as an audio-visual room, so it was soundproof. Maybe it’s because of that being the reason, when he slightly opened the door, some sort of noise started to flow inside the room.
It was an old and unusual kind of electronic sound. And he remembered that sound very well. And that was because he heard that just yesterday.
It was the BGM [5-B] of Spelunker.
It looks like someone is playing in the Famicom there. Just who was it— thinking like that Kis.h.i.+mine slowly skimmed his way in through the opened door.
While hiding himself behind the racks of the machine, he started to secretly examine the room.
“Ah”
The one, who was playing in the Famicom, was the Tendou.
But as he thought about it, it was not anything unusual. As the one who can play games in this games, are just club members. So if it’s not Sena-sensei then it’s gonna be Tendou for sure.
‘By any chance, this is the secret of Tendou-san……?’
Tendou was, truly looking at the game screen quite intently. He now understands very well the reason of why she said that even if he sneak-in it would be fine as long he made just the small noises. If one were to concentrate that hard in the game, then it would be possible that she might not even notice him even if he calls her name.
“……Still, she looks like she’s having fun isn’t it?”
The Tendou he knew was always looked dignified and smart. And now she had a facial expression which was full of emotions. Sometime as if enjoying herself, sometime as if absorbed vacantly in it, sometimes getting angry over it.
It was as if a child was playing the game innocently. Just by watching at her even he started to enjoy himself.
‘I see.’
He finally able to understand what Niitani wanted to convey.
‘Tendou-san, just purely loves the games.’
For the sake of school, For the sake of creating a s.p.a.ce for the boys, the outward reason was indeed something like that, but, she just simply loved games herself.
This is a leading and distinguished Ojou-sama school in the j.a.pan and, she is the Student Council President of that school. No matter how much games are popular in the world, if someone was put in a position like her then, one can’t just openly present something like the games. That’s more the reason how she simply collaborated in the establishment of the Modern Game Club and became a member by herself. And like that, she is now playing the games secretly.
But then, even though being that the case he just couldn’t get in a mood to criticise her as she was enjoying herself that much in the game.
And he got the feeling that there might be a good reason to officially enrol in the club as well. Because he will be able to stay in the club he loves that much. With just that, there was indeed something worth in entering this club.
Plus, Kis.h.i.+mine got to learn one more fact. She enrolled in this club due to her love towards the game which meant, that there might just not be anything between her and Sena-sensei.
Like that, at that moment when Kis.h.i.+mine was thinking all those stuff.
Tendou as if due excitement, raised her voice.
“d.a.m.n, you f.u.c.king Ghost! To think that you will show yourself at this timing!”
“…………Heh?”
Suddenly at that moment, he thought that he heard something totally outrageous.
However, there is only Tendou and himself at this place right now.
‘I—I misheard……that just now right? Oh Yeah, no doubt about that’
The Tendou who was always calm, dignified and beautiful and even loved by her junior, there is no way a girl like her will say something like ‘f.u.c.king’ with that mouth of hers.
‘T—that’s right. There is no mistaking it, it’s was just me hearing things.’
To think that he imagined a word so vulgar like that, he felt sorry for her. And even kneeled down to apologize in front of her in his heart.
[Kinkon][Kankon] the chime suddenly rang
It’s a warning bell. Stating that in just 5 minutes the 5th Period will start.
Kis.h.i.+mine started to feel anxious about something completely different. As Tendou was playing with so much enthusiasm, he started to get worried that whether she heard the bell properly or not. She getting late because of getting so much dissolved in games, considering her position, it was not something she could’ve made an excuses for. He was considering calling her, and thus even resolute himself to make her see that he was peeking.
However it looks like his worry was meaningless.
“Fuu, this far, huh……?”
Her low voice like she was very disappointed reached to him.
As expected of someone like her, huh? That she didn’t able to miss the chime even though she was that much lost in the game. She with very disappointed face dropped down the controller, and switched off the Famicom.
Despite him feeling relieved and happy, he finally noticed that he lost his timing to get out of here. If it was at that time when she was engrossed in the game then that was another case, but if he open and close the door now, he will be caught for sure.
‘Well, it’s fine huh? As after cleaning the place, Tendou-san will also head straight back.’
However, his guess was wrong.
He didn’t understand the reason but, even after cleaning the place up. She didn’t look like she had any plans to head back.
As he checked to confirm from the gap of racks just what was taking her so long.
Tendou was in the middle of undressing her uniform.
‘Eh——‘
He received a critical damage in his heart.
If it was just blazer, then it could’ve gotten explained that she was feeling hot while playing games for that long. However, following that, she smoothly untied her ribbon, and started to open up the b.u.t.tons of her white blouse one by one.
“…………”
Kis.h.i.+mine couldn’t’ve believed of what was going on in front of his eyes. It’s as if his brain stopped working, and he wasn’t able to recognize, what exactly she was doing.
In the meanwhile Tendou was finished opening up all the b.u.t.tons, and was finally done undressing her blouse.
Her White Bra, not giving up in contrast with her pure white skin at all.
“uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
And that Tendou, was now just in a Skirt and Bra figure.
As what he read was just printed type books, and as he never touched or seen any type of adult featured books, for someone pure like him that scene was too stimulating.
I am watching something that I shouldn’t see—like that, he reflexively averted his eyes. However, the detail features of her bare body which was in front of him just a while ago just couldn’t able to leave from his mind and scorched quite a lot into his eyes.
Silky smooth and white skin. Slender arms. Slim and elegant shoulder. And a very slim waist. Even though he just saw it for a moment, her beautiful body with detail was again reproduced in his mind.
And, what stole his attention the most was—
‘I—I wonder if that is due to her slender clothing?’
As the Tendou was quite slender, maybe because of that reason her breast size didn’t stood out that much. But, the pure white b.r.e.a.s.t.s he saw just a while which were wrapped around by the bra, were curved abundantly and forming a perfect cleavage to an extent, which couldn’t even be imagined from over her uniform. Furthermore, as if to show the softness, her b.r.e.a.s.t.s shook to every action she was making.
‘I—I can’t, I can’t!’
Kis.h.i.+mine as if to forget what he saw a while ago, closed his eyes strongly and started to shake his head.
‘I absolutely can’t peek like that.’ ‘As you are hidden its fine isn’t it?’ The devil inside his heart also whispered against his reasoning’s but, at a situation like this, the one who finally won was the Kis.h.i.+mine reason.
But, even if he closed his eyes, No, it’s because of the fact that he closed his eyes the other things stopped coming in his eyes, and his mind couldn’t able to stop thinking about that pure white body of Tendou.
And even with his eyes closed, he couldn’t able to stop the sounds coming in his ears. The sound of her in the middle of being taking her clothes off. She might be undressing her Skirt this time. With just imagining like that, he slowly started to lose his mind.
But, he should be called fortunate I guess, as no matter what kind of bad dream it is, it never goes on for forever.
“Let’s go shall we?”
He heard Tendou murmuring like that.
It seems like she was done changing. As finally Kis.h.i.+mine slowly started to open his eyes with the sigh of relief.
With very apologizing feelings, and to confirm that it’s fine now or not, as he himself didn’t knew of what exactly was going on— furthermore holding somewhat of an expectation himself, he peeked at the appearance of Tendou.
‘uwaa……’
He again almost raised his voice, and he also felt his face becoming red.
Well certainly she was done changing her clothes. However, as expected he thought that he saw something he shouldn’t have.
As Tendou was now in the Bloomer outfit.
Slender, long, white legs which from this far looked silky smooth, together with her thighs was clearly visible.
“So……the legend was real after all……!”
In short, as her next period was P.E., she was changing in here.
And that was just a gym cloth used a long time ago. But, if the one wearing was someone stylish as Tendou, with just looking at it he thought that he committed some sort of a sin or crime.
The figure of Perfect hips enveloped in the deep blue Bloomer. And from there stretched the slender legs were, due to that deep blue color was showing the prominence of the pure white color of her body. On top of it, it also made it more look like soft and silky smooth.
‘S—so that is……the thing that Kusakabe loved……’
I see, after watching by himself he sort of understood the feelings of those boys who wanted to do the P.E. that much together with the girls.
Like that, while he was deep in the middle of thought, Tendou left the room. As her appearance from behind was yet again beautiful, he wasn’t able to stop watching.
“Fu……”
As the door closed after she left the room, he finally took a deep breath of relief.
He finally understood the reason behind the P.E. period being completely separate like that. That’s not something a guy should watch. No, infact if possible he wanted to watch it as many times he want, but as expected he got a feeling that it’s not something he should watch.
At any rate, as soon enough the 5th Period will start. So while controlling his throbbing chest, and the trembling of his heart, he headed towards his cla.s.sroom.
Part 3
And, in afterschool.
“I feel somewhat strange……”
Kis.h.i.+mine murmured to himself.
Well of course the reason was the incident at Lunch break. At that time what he saw was the Tendou’s soft white skin, well obviously he tried his best to forget about that but, he was not that confident in himself that he will be able to hold his calm meeting her after that.
But still saying that, he had not any intention of slacking on his 1st day as a Temporary member. And like that reluctantly he stepped inside the audio-visual prep-room.
“Oh, isn’t this Kis.h.i.+mine-kun?! Glad you came!”
The one greeted him immediately was the one who seated himself calmly on the chair, Sena-sensei. It’s just even though he looked here and there in the clubroom; he didn’t saw any signs of Tendou.
“Huh? Where is Tendou-san?”
“Who knows? Well, she is the Student council president after all, so it’s not rare for her to get late like that, don’t worry she will eventually come. What happened to you? Don’t just stand there like a scarecrow there and get inside already!”
“Ah, Yes!”
He nervously stepped inside the clubroom.
“Which reminds me, did you get here during the lunch break?!”
“Heh?”
In a second, without even understanding what exactly Sena-sensei was saying, he didn’t able to respond properly.
“Don’t “Heh?” me. So, you haven’t seen it after all, huh? Her secret that is.”
“A—aah, Y—Yes. I’ve seen that but, how do you know about that……?”
“It’s because Niitani requested me to leave the No.2 audio-visual open so I guessed it should be like that!”
“Aah, now that I think about it, it was that right……?”
“In any case, with this even you understood right?! That she is hiding in the public but, she is one h.e.l.l of a Game Maniac!”
“Ah, as I thought it’s like that isn’t it?”
“What are you saying? You’ve also seen it right? Her enjoying the game while spending each and each moment leisurely like that.”
“Y—Yes. That’s right, I’ve certainly saw her playing games enthusiastically.”
To be precise, even more than that though.
“B—But still, does she play like that every day during the Lunch time?”
“It’s not every day but, she plays relatively a lot I say! Especially, as she was busy with you yesterday and day before yesterday, maybe she couldn’t able to control her desires anymore to play games.”
“S—so that’s how it was.”
Even though it’s the think he didn’t knew before he somehow ended up stealing her time to play the games. And thus he somehow started to feel a little bit apologetic to that.
“But even that being the case, in this school, I think there’s no such need to play the games while hiding and like that.”
“Well, even I don’t understand the reason for that. But, can’t you really imagine that? For example, she is this school’s Student Council President. Besides, it also seems that she is from a family who is wealthy enough to be called as n.o.bles of some distant era. No matter how popular games really are, they are just a part of pop culture after all. So you just can’t show yourself publicly playing games like that right?”
It was somewhat similar to the thing he heard from Niitani.
“That’s why Tendou-san a.s.sertively collaborated in the foundation of this club, and right now too staying as a member right? All that to create a place where she can play games openly……”
“Probably! By the way, she is a great fan of Modern j.a.panese Culture you know?! To an extent that she even owns Anime DVD and other stuffs.”
“Heh…. She also loves those kinds of things as well, huh?”
“That’s right! Otherwise she wouldn’t have said something like “I am not interested in just freshmen, but if someone in here can do—then come to my place” as a greeting. I bet she was copying Haruhi at that time!”
“……I see.”
‘I don’t quite understand it, but it seems to be a line from a famous anime or something.’
“Ah that’s right! I forgot to tell you this but, in the case when she has P.E. as her 5th Period, she seems to use this place to change her clothes. She is a popular and trusted Student President of all the students, so it seems that she can’t do impolite things like running to changing room just before the Lunch Break gets over and change clothes there. So you too be careful not to come in this room at that time!”
“…………”
‘It’s already too late; tell that kind of thing beforehand please’— well obviously there was no way he can say something like that.
“Umm. I don’t particularly know the time table of Tendou-san Cla.s.s though……”
“Ooh! That’s also true isn’t it?! Well, let me tell you a little then. Ah—! Wait a sec there? If I remember it correct Tendou-kun’s P.E. cla.s.s was today in 5th Period right……?”
Involuntarily Kis.h.i.+mine startled.
He didn’t know whether it’s to deliberately think over of what exactly he was thinking or something, Sena-sensei corrected his gla.s.ses and changed the topic.
“Well fine, Aside that let’s get to the main point! So how’s it, it’s been just 1 night since then but, have you finally determined youself to be the official member?! I have no intention of hurrying anything but, Tendou-kun and others are not patient like me after all, so it will be better if you decide soon enough!”
Even though he was relieved of the fact that the subject was changed, but even despite that the next question too was somewhat hard to answer.
“Yes. Though to be honest, I am still deciding. And thinking of trying playing games a bit more to be able to get on the proper conclusion……”
“Hahaha, as I thought you still thinking over it, huh? You too are a type who broods a lot aren’t you?!”
‘Geez as what he said was absolutely right I can’t even object.’
“Alright, if it’s that’s the case then let me tell you something which might benefit you! I, you see don’t have any intention to deny a person’s way of living his/her life. However, I atleast want you to know that the time of high school is a precious three-year time period in one’s life! And you’re spending that time only for reading, don’t you think it’s somewhat of a waste!?”
As one would expect as his hobby got ridiculed like that, he started to get somewhat angry.
“W—well its fine isn’t it? As every human being build differently. Plus it’s not like I am bothering anyone or something as well.”
“No, let me get this straight to you but what you are doing right now is, by no mistake, quite a bother!”
“T—to, whom in particular!?”
“None other than your future self!”
To a reply, he didn’t even think about in the slightest, he got taken back.
“W—what do you mean? I don’t think there’s any way you can tell of what’ll become of me in the future though……”
“No, I can tell it alright. Okay listen then suppose there’s a liberal arts club consisting of both men and women then that means that both of them have to spend a long time together which other right? That is life’s first chance, and if careless life last chance in itself you know?!”
“L—life’s first and last?! Aren’t you over exaggerating things a bit? In the first place, in this school no matter where you see there are so many girls.”
“Nice one! Definitely even in your cla.s.s there are too many girls right? But, if paired according to s.e.x ratio with the current situation then the count will be even less than 15, it’s not an environment where a guy can freely call out to a girl. That’s something even you should’ve understood by now, right?”
“Yeah, well true but from my club enrolment, why did it turn into a conversation like this?”
“Well just shut up listen me for a second! It’s not like you are not interested in the conversation about the girls or something right!?”
“……I—it’s not like that…”
He couldn’t able to deny that.
As a boy he obviously held interest. But to admit that frankly was, not elegant at all, and quite a shameful thing to do in his eyes.
“Quite naturally, the girls and boys in the cla.s.s have no choice but to face each other in the cla.s.sroom! If there by any chance due some trigger end up becoming in a situation where you end up in a relation of boyfriend and girlfriend, and after some time due to some reason I dare say break-up! Then from the next particular day you will not be able to stay in the cla.s.sroom due to exceeding awkward atmosphere. But, if it’s a club, then there is no problem. It’s because when such kind of moment arrives then you always have the option quit it after all!”
“……Yes?”
In the end, he wasn’t able to understand a bit of what Sena-sensei really wanted to say but, he got the feeling that what he said was highly persuasive. And as a matter of fact the reason of his cla.s.smate Kusakabe’s transferring to this school was due to the trouble like that, isn’t it?
“But, it doesn’t have to be particularly in High school right? As there are women everywhere whether you go to a college or company.”
“Well of course, if it’s to get in a contact with opposite s.e.x then there will be many chances like that in life! However, for a person who hasn’t even had a proper conversation with the opposite s.e.x till his high school, then whether you go to college a company it will remain exactly the same!”
“I—Isn’t it fine to not decide something like that from beforehand? It’s being prejudice you know, to say something like that.”
However, he couldn’t able to deny that.
Kis.h.i.+mine was also not a blockhead, so if he asked that he wants to try dating a girl or not, he just can’t say ‘No’ to a question like that. It was true that he admired Tendou, and it’s also true that he was secretly hoping for a pa.s.sionate encounter like the one he usually reads in his books. He transferred to this Izunomiya Academy because of the reason he thought that he will be able to remain happy alone but, ‘If there are so many girls, then I will be able to make a girlfriend as well who loves to read books’—if he said that he never thought of that before then that will be a huge lie.
However, if he was asked whether he had courage to try approaching a girl and talk on his own, then the answer to that will be an obvious ‘No’. And, if he asked that that will he be able to change his way of life once he goes to college or a company, he started to think that the answer to that will also be ‘No’.
“So basically it’s like that! If you don’t join this club, in future you won’t be able to make a single girlfriend, won’t be able to marry, remain single for your entire life and then die a solitude death and then will be buried in a community cemetery with no one to attend to it!”
“W—with just a high school club the conversation will jump to that extent, huh……?”
“Ah of course it will! It’s because the experience you gain in you high school, influence that much of your future life! Be honest with me Kis.h.i.+mine-kun, what do you think about Tendou-kun? Despite that kind of character and background, she is quite beautiful right? She is a rare type in this school who is not bad with boys as well, if you got to have even a single conversation with her staying in this club together, with just that it will be quite a favourable thing right?! On top of it, she doesn’t have a boyfriend as well, and it seems that she never hang out with anyone from the different gender as well!”
“…………”
He became loss for words. What do I think about Tendou? Due to some unknown reason with just hearing that, he became embarra.s.sed.
“W—what about you Sena-sensei?! If you’re gonna say that she is a beautiful girl and sort then, then you also will have some sort of feelings for her right?! As you both were alone here in this clubroom till now!”
He was well aware that he was greatly missing the point here, but he still forcibly asked that. By now he was very able to understand that the reason behind Tendou for being in this club, was purely because of love for games, but it’s not like he was 100% sure about that, plus it’s entirely the different thing of whether Sena-sensei had any feelings for her or not. If he think about it, for a teacher to have a love-affair with a student in this school was totally impossible but, Sena-sensei was also quite a famous teacher, if one has to see just his outward appearance then he was quite tall and handsome as well. So he got the chance he just wanted to ascertain about that in any case.
“Me?! With Tendou-kun?!”
He got surprised for a second, and then started laughing.
“Hahaha, Be relieved Kis.h.i.+mine-kun. Even without this teacher and student relations.h.i.+p, for us to be in a relations.h.i.+p, even if heaven and h.e.l.l toppled with each other, is impossible.”
“H—how can you say for sure like that?”
As he asked another question, Sena-sensei laughed a little and then declared in a loud voice.
“It’s because she is not a Seiyuu!”
“……No, even if you declare something like that with such confidence.”
Even though he got relieved in his heart he ended up thinking like, ‘as usual I just can’t get this person’ and then sighed.
Seiyuu. Whenever he talks with this person, time to time that word appears.
Don’t tell me that it’s his way to dodge the subject he thought but, as he saw his face saying something c.r.a.p like that, he couldn’t think of that as a joke. Because, he is a type of person who always carries something like a marriage registration form as well.
“Umm. You’ve said that at the time of club introduction as well but, why are you so obsessed with Seiyuu’s?”
“Even I don’t know you see? That why there is a need for you to ask something so obvious like that!? Well listen then, when you consider the humans true nature, then they for sure attract towards the outward appearance of another human being! For example the atmosphere, other will be looks, and of course to the voice as well! Then according to that theory, isn’t Seiyuu who are the owner of all such great things are truly appropriate for being a person’s partner?!”
“……I see. Well, the all human beings are designed differently after all……”
More or less, he was somewhat able to understand. For example, Tendou’s voice was really very pleasant to him. If that kind of voice of an opposite s.e.x got to cheer him up every day, then he get the feeling that he can bear anything.
“So that’s the main gist of it, my reason of teaching in this school is because of that reason as well you know?”
“What……. So basically what you are saying is that as there are all girls in the school, then there is a higher chance of some Seiyuu to be born among them sometime in near future?”
“No, wrong. It’s because there is a thing called public entertainment department here! It’s not sometime in near future, but in few days there is a chance that one of my students might just awake that potential.”
“W—with just motive you……”
As one would expect, he couldn’t able to follow up with the conversation anymore.
“W—, Huh? But wait a second?”
And like that, at that moment. Kis.h.i.+mine noticed the most fundamental thing.
“I understand your motive very well Sensei. But, is there any kind of relation of Seiyuu with this Modern Game Club?”
“You sure noticed something good didn’t you?! Honestly, in that only lies my grand plan! You remember about JGBC? A game battle tournament that happens every week, we had a conversation about that before right? It’s about JGBC though……in that large scale battle tournament, most of the hosting is done by the Seiyuus!”
“…………Huh?”
He couldn’t able to understand what he said at first.
But, as the time pa.s.sed, he finally understood the meaning behind those words.
Sena-sensei likes Seiyuu. And, that seiyuu is acting as a host at that tournament.
It was a very simple thing.
“S—so basically, it’s like this? You want to win at the tournament and through that want to get close to the Seiyuu or something like that huh?”
“Exactly! It’s exactly like some Pro baseball clinging with the T.V. Reporter! If we somehow managed to continue winning in the rounds at the JGBC then, we will be allowed to get in contact with the Seiyuu that much, and the chances of her noticing my appeal will also rise up! On top of it, if we do that……”
“No, its fine already, as I already understood the most of it.”
As his feelings were in a mess in various ways, he released a big deep breath.
“Geez…… just where that ‘creating a place for boys’ went to? Even though I so much moved hearing about that before……”
“Hahaha! Well of course it’s that thing too, but its fine for a person to have an individual goal as well right?!”
“…………”
He thought that the order might be in reverse though. The Modern Game club was neither built to grant the place for boys nor for some other decent reasons similar to that but was just so that he can get close to a Seiyuu and there as a counterfeit he made a decent excuse such as that.
It was at around that time.
“I am sorry I got late again didn’t I?”
The one, who entered in the clubroom while panting, was none other than Tendou.
“Oh. Thank goodness, you came today as well didn’t you?”
Their eyes met. As he moved his face towards hers, everything from just a while ago from Sena-sensei talk to other things became trivial.
“Y—yes. Well, I thought I should come at least on the first day……”
At the moment he answered that, he was trying his best to not remember about what happened during the lunch break but, it ended up being a futile effort.
With just watching Tendou’s figure on top of uniform, those slim and elegant shoulders, slim waist, and the abundantly filled cleavage of the breast vividly popped-up in his mind.
Especially, the most tempting was the legs. As she was the school’s student council president, her skirt was not unreasonably short but, as it was above the knee as he looked at the white skin which was appearing from there, he started to remember Tendou’s Bloomer figure.
It’s not like he didn’t able to understand the things that Kusakabe and Sena-sensei told. It’s his last year of high school. ‘If I get to date a beautiful person such as her’— as he thought about that, his heart rate spiked roof. Not to mention it’s confirmed that she has no relations.h.i.+p at all with Sena-sensei, and looks completely vacant.
Well of course, he couldn’t think someone like him who was like a sample of mediocrity itself suited for someone like her. However, even not going far as to date, as long he comes to this club, he will be able to spend long time together with her.
“Hm? What happened? Your face looks a little red you know!”
As she approached near him, while making a worrying face, with just that he got fl.u.s.tered.
“N—no, I am fine. It’s my f—first time in a club so I am a little nervous that’s all……”
“Is that so? Even though it’s temporary you’re still a member of this club, so don’t hold back yourself.”
“Y—Yes.”
“Well, then it’s one of club’s day which calls for a celebration. Sena-sensei, have you planned something out for today?”
“Well of course! As I thought that we should know a bit more about each other you see, so I was in the middle of telling him about you!”
“Yes?”
Tendou was clearly shaken hearing that.
“Me? J—just what are you telling……”
“It’s about the reason of why you created this club. It’s because I think that it’s essential for him to know about these stuff as he’s a comrade of ours now.”
“I—I-If it’s about that then didn’t I explained about that beforehand?! That I, as a Student council president, just helped you in your request to make the place for boys!”
“No, not that but the other one, if it’s Kis.h.i.+mine then it’s particularly fine, right? Then he should know that in reality how much you love Games and Ani—”
It was at that moment. With a sudden popping up of a sound made in the room, and like that Tendou’s face suddenly dyed flushed red.
“Wa—! Wa—!”
Kis.h.i.+mine involuntarily became dumbfounded.
That dignified and adult like, and usual calm Tendou was, with the bright flushed red face quite seriously waving his hands as if to stop Sena-sensei to speak anymore.
It was a scene he recognised from before. It was similar to when he asked about why she was here in the club.
At that time too Tendou had a face flushed red due to embarra.s.sment. And due to that being the reason, Kis.h.i.+mine ended up a.s.suming of her being in a relations.h.i.+p with the Sena-sensei as a reason but, it looks like he was completely misunderstood the situation at that moment.
So basically, she likes games and anime and she wants to leave that as a secret.
“Aah, Understood, I understood Tendou-kun! If you don’t like it to talk about that much then let’s give up on that!”
“T—that’s right! Absolutely, don’t you dare ever talk about me!”
There, she finally noticed the dumbfounded sight of Kis.h.i.+mine.
She tried to pretend calm, after coughing on purpose. However, as per usual her cheeks were still a bit red.
‘So she has a cute side of her as well, huh?’ He thought.
“As t—time is precious, so we shouldn’t waste it in doing something like this. T—that’s right, first let’s discuss about the future plans of our club!”
The way she changed the conversation was a bit little pushy. Kis.h.i.+mine also wanted to see her troubled face a little bit more but, as he can’t disagree with her, he decided to go with the flow.
“Plans…… is it? Is there some sort of trouble?”
“Yes. Anyhow this school is an overly serious Ojou-sama school right? So there are quite an amount of teachers that have an old way of thinking that games are just for the kids. Plus there is also the problem regarding our club member’s count, so that’s why we are in a situation where it won’t be strange to get abolished at any given time. That’s why as our greatest plan, we should achieve some big achievements as soon as we can.”
“I see. But, how is it possible to get achievements with just games?”
“Aah. From there the conversation will move to the j.a.pan’s Game Battle Champions.h.i.+p in short JGBC.”
“So in short basically, it will be like a Kos.h.i.+en [5-C] for us!” Sena-sensei entered forcibly in the conversation. “If we enter as a club in this JGBC, and won then, then we will become famous as the fellow Gamers, and on top of it, if our club name will get famous around countrywide, then even if it’s the chairman, he won’t be able to complain regarding that!”
“Ha……, I see”
“But, there is just one problem” said, Tendou. “JGBC, consists of 2 parts which involve individual tournament and Team battle tournament. As we are partic.i.p.ating as a club activity, then we have no choice but to partic.i.p.ate in the Team battle tournament. But for that we need atleast 4 members.”
“Why we have to partic.i.p.ate in the Team battle tournament? I think we will be fine with just individual tournament though. I don’t really understand it but, the Kendou club and others clubs, enters in both team compet.i.tion and individual tournament right?”
“The point is to get the reason to consent the teachers and everyone. If we’re gonna play games individually, then there is not a point of having a club is it? And like that we also won’t be able to consider it as a part of a club activities right? “It’s because we are playing games as a club activity, we support and help each other, and as a result achieved this.” There is a need to show them an appeal like that.”
“So that’s how it is. Though if we made our club big in the future, then we really could be able to take part in Individual tournaments as well!”
“Haa, there are various types of restraints present isn’t it……?”
They have established something like a Game club in this overly serious Ojou-sama school. So they might’ve put up with unreasonable demands even more than he thought of.
“The reason is not just that.” Tendou continued. “The individual tournament of JGBC are truly something like a ‘squirming horde of evil spirits and demons’. It’s not a level of a normal club activity, if it’s not someone who has put his entire life in the games then; it’s not a place to expect the win. However, if it’s a Team battle then the students like us too have a chance to win.”
“Heh. Is that so? I think that we students will be quite busy with the lessons and exam preparations though……”
“It’s because there are various types of formalities in the Team battle tournament after all! In the individual games you have to be absolutely familiar with various types of games but, in the Team battle tournament if there are 4 members who excel in special skill then then, with just that it will drastically improve the chance of winning. Plus, even though we’ll be busy, but if it’s the similar student from the same school then it’s easy to gather together and do practice right?! It’s not similar for a working adult, and on the other hand, for a NEET [5-D] too it’s very impossible to create something like a team.”
“I—I see.”
For working adults who have a job, it certainly looked impossible to gather together for the practice of Team battle tournament every day. And on top of it even to gather members was a bit……
“I understood. So in short, we need more club member’s right? As including me and Tendou-san and……even after including Niitani san the count will be just 3.”
“No, you are slightly wrong there Kis.h.i.+mine-kun! It’s slightly unfortunate but Niitani-kun can’t enter due to the lack of potential skill! So members will be You, Tendou-kun and in the end me!”
“Eh! Even Sensei will enter?!”
“Well of course! It’s because it’s not really a school event or something like that! So there’s no problem with me entering.”
“Well, at any rate even if Sensei enters we still lack 1 more member” added Tendou. “It’s just……if it was any normal school then there will be an abundance to students who love games but, this school is a peculiar one after all.”
“Yeah, indeed. Plus, it won’t be good with just loving games right?”
“Definitely. They should at least have some sort of talent similar to you.”
“Well I don’t think that highly of my talent though……”
Even though he laughed a little on the outside like that, he was still a little bit happy getting praised by Tendou.
“Well, it’s not something which can be solved in a hurry like that! In any case, if you find someone good enough as a gamer then just call me immediately! At any rate let’s do what we can do for now! To be honest, even I have something I thought a little from before you see, I was thinking of teaching Kis.h.i.+mine-kun today about the Gaming Industry.”
“Ah, that will be quite good. As I, hardly have any knowledge regarding that”
“Right?! There is a perfect need for the explanation right?”
Sena-sensei corrected his eyes—No, his gla.s.ses.
But the one who objected to it, getting bore was none other than Tendou.
“Certainly I think that it’s needed but…… For heaven’s sake please just make it short, Sensei.”
“Hahaha, my explanations are always simple and short. Alright! Let’s see……, let me tell you a bit more regarding JGBC then.”
“Yes. Please do.”
He then remembered that Sena-sensei was supposed to be someone who likes to give explanation.
As he thought that he will be again secluded in his long explanations, he understood Tendou feelings a bit. But if he’s really plan on working together as a member of this club then, it was also something which was necessary to hear. So while being patient he inclined to listen properly.
“JGBC—j.a.pan’s Game Battle Champions.h.i.+p is a game tournament which every week was organised here and there all over in j.a.pan! On small scales sponsored by shops, and on larger scale by an enterprise, there are also cases where even event halls are booked! And the count of those event place are exceedingly high, to an extend that on every weekend, all around j.a.pan—no, on prefectural level there will be certain somewhere for sure that will organise the JGBC despite of the size!”
“That sure……is something amazing!”
A tournament which is conducted everywhere in j.a.pan on weekend. It’s a thing much more of a high level than he thought of it to be.
“However, the JGBC that happens like that is entirely an opening performance, nothing more than the qualifiers! As you go up in the JGBC rankings, you’ll awarded with a thing called “G Points”. The individual, who collects more G Points, or a team who do it, are then allowed to take part in the final tournament which takes place in Tokyo in January!”
“I see. It’s sure is becoming a bit more like Kos.h.i.+en alright!”
“Exactly! However, in normal sports tournaments if you even lose once it’s over for you but, in JGBC you can partic.i.p.ate no matter how many times you want! Due to which it’s also has a name of “The losers revival war” as well! But, the partic.i.p.ation is limited to only 2 times a month, on top of it, you can’t carry the points you earned from the Kantou [5-E]Region to the Kansai [5-F] Region or vice versa”
“Heh……that sure is an interesting rule.”
There are just uncountable numbers of chances. To Kis.h.i.+mine who was self-aware about him being weak to the pressure, that was quite a lifesaver.
“JGBC is basically an event organised for games sales production after all! And it’s one of the purpose lays, in making the partic.i.p.ants buy the games played in it! If it gets over in just first try then that won’t increase the sales right?! So allowing partic.i.p.ation in JGBC as much as possible and make them buy the games which might come handy in the event itself.”
“H—hearing that makes them looks like a quite fishy organisation though……”
“Isn’t it?” Tendou nodded with a bored face. “JGBC is a tournament which was not administered by the country but the enterprises after all. So it can’t be helped if few fishy things come to surface. That’s why we should also profit a little out of it, or so I think.”
“Quiet you two, Stop with your Middle school level talks! As long as it’s an event sponsored by the enterprises, that kind of fishy things will come to surface quite a lot you know?! To an extent that, if there is a local shop who has a large stockpile of a certain game then just to sale that they will open up the JGBC!”
“It’s starting to become more of a talk about money isn’t it……?”
“It’s because of the culture promotion ticket being still in action after all. Due to which, even a child can buy a copy of game per month. So there the vultures wait for the prey in patience.”
“I wonder who you are referring to vultures though, and in the end isn’t it just fine?! I mean as a result, the huge amount of money gets invested in the gaming industry right? Which then allows them to produce new games! And practically due to that being the reason, the domestic economy gets circulated and even superior quality new games gets born! Plus, the games exported to the foreign countries, acts as a means to earn large amount of foreign exchange without getting mixed and causing the trade disputes! It’s a party of and for the economic activity and development, Ladies and Gentlemen!”
“I see……”
If he get to told all of those things, then he certainly thought that it has good points in itself, and couldn’t able to say anything in objection.
Though, Tendou looked unpleasant, and was making a face as if she wanted to say something.
“I understood the gist of it. In short, we have to gather members and enter in a Team battle tournament to earn points as fast as possible and from there aim to advance in that final tournament right?”
“Yup that’s how it is. Although, our ultimate goal doesn’t lies in the final tournament but infact lies much more beyond that.”
Tendou calmly declared.
“Beyond……? Just what is it if it’s not Finals……?”
“There&rsqu
