"Uchimaki, huh..."
Kaede crossed his arms, frowning, and said, "I haven't really paid attention to this, but it's true; he's still drawing every day. However, our own thinking won't be effective for this problem, because we don't know the specific purpose of his drawing. Is it purely a hobby, or is it like before, to draw the most perfect 2d waifu?"
"Yes, that's a question that needs to be determined!"
Eriri nodded seriously, then patted Kaede's shoulder and said, "So, Kaede-kun, I'm entrusting this to you. I'm sure you're curious too, right?"
Looking at Eriri's sneaky expression, Kaede shrugged and smiled, "Got it, got it. I don't have anything planned tomorrow, so I'll be at the Art Club. I'll ask Uchimaki then. For now, I need to prepare dinner. Eriri, you go prepare the Cat food for the Cat."
"OK, leave it to !"
Eriri went to take care of the Cat, and Kaede started making braised pork, while also thinking to himself.
As for Uchimaki Subaru, given his personality, it's unlikely he would intentionally mislead Usami if he knew her feelings. Based on Kaede's understanding of him, he was probably still thinking about it.
At this mont, Eriri's voice ca through.
Oh, by the way, Kaede-kun, I forgot to tell you, Mizuki told during club activities this afternoon that she would call Uchimaki today to discuss going out this weekend.
"Hmm? Is that so? I see."
If that were the case, Kaede could be about seventy percent sure. The rest would just have to wait until he saw Uchimaki Subaru tomorrow and had a good chat with him.
Thinking of this, Kaede couldn't help but shake his head: "These people who don't understand the situation are the most complicated. It's much simpler with Senior Shirogane and Shinomiya-senpai. The only complexity is what happens in the future. But for future matters, I believe that in a couple of years, both Senior Shirogane and Shinomiya-senpai will be able to resolve them smoothly."
Compared to those two seniors, Usami and Uchimaki's problems weren't just about their own feelings; there were all sorts of other miscellaneous things. As outsiders, they could only discuss it with them a little. How to proceed would still depend on them.
And so, the next day arrived.
Although there had been a lot of work recently, it wasn't so much that he had to go out every day. Today was Kaede's day off. After classes in the afternoon, he leisurely made his way to the Art Club.
After entering, he put down his schoolbag, turned on the air conditioning, and Kaede sat in a chair, saying with a smile, "Ah, it's so comfortable to be in the club. I've been running around outside these past few days, and I'm really not used to that pace."
"Hehe, Kaede-kun is just like . He prefers to stay in one place rather than going out for work."
Eriri walked over and sat beside Kaede: "Although the space here isn't large, it's very comfortable once you get used to it. I just wonder if any of the new students who enroll when we're in our second year will be willing to join the Art Club."
"There should be so, right?"
Kaede nodded and said, "Although our school's Art Club is a small club, we did win an award in last year's competition. But I estimate that if the president uses the sa strategy as last year's recruitnt, completely unwilling to make a big fuss, then certainly not many people will co. And among those who do apply, we also need to screen them carefully. We can't let people with bad personalities join."
"Mhm, that's for sure!"
Eriri completely agreed with Kaede's statent. Everyone in the Art Club had good personalities, and they absolutely couldn't let anyone who would ruin the current atmosphere join during the future recruitnt.
Just as the two were talking, the door to the clubroom opened, and the president walked in with a smile: "Asakura is right. For next sester's recruitnt, just let it be. It's great to have good new mbers, but it's not impossible with just us few either."
Afterward, Usami and Uchimaki Subaru also arrived one after another. Everyone showed consistent opinions on this matter.
With everyone present, in the clubroom where the heating was turned up, everyone began today's club activities.
Just as he was about to draw storyboards, Eriri's little foot ca over and kicked Kaede's calf.
Looking at Eriri, Kaede saw her constantly giving him eye signals. He naturally knew what she wanted to express; it was about Uchimaki Subaru.
With a helpless smile, Kaede picked up his phone and sent a ssage to Eriri.
"How could I talk to him about this so quickly? Club activities have just started. I'll find an opportunity later. You just focus on drawing."
After seeing Kaede's ssage, Eriri thought about it and agreed. She gave Kaede a small "cheer up" gesture and then started drawing.
Everyone was busy with their own things, while the president on the sofa, after observing the juniors for a while, began reading manga with a smile on his face.
He had slept a lot today, and for the afternoon club activities, he unusually didn't plan to sleep.
After about twenty minutes of work, finishing all the remaining storyboards for one chapter, Kaede saved the file and sent it to Eriri. Then he stretched, stood up, and said, "I'm going to buy so drinks. Does anyone want anything? My treat!"
"Oh! Drinks? Yay!"
The president was the first to raise his hand, saying with a smile, "Then I'll have a cola, thank you very much!"
Eriri imdiately followed, saying, "I... then I'll have orange juice!"
Usami thought for a mont and said, "Then I'll have apple juice, thank you, Asakura-kun."
Uchimaki Subaru was about to speak when Kaede walked over and pulled him up: "Uchimaki, you co with . We can also buy so snacks."
"Ah? Oh, okay."
Watching Kaede and Uchimaki Subaru leave, Eriri let out a soft sigh. It seed this was the opportunity Kaede had ntioned earlier. Indeed, if they were going to chat, it would be better to go outside.
Only the president, reading manga, was left in the clubroom. Eriri's courage also grew a bit. She moved her chair next to Usami and quietly asked, "Mizuki, I didn't ask you during the day, did you call Uchimaki yesterday?"
"Ah, about that."
Stopping her paintbrush, Usami said softly, "Hmm... yes, I called him. We chatted for a while and discussed where to go on Saturday."
"Where, where are you going?"
...Usami's cheeks flushed slightly as she replied, "The zoo."
"Oh~~~" Eriri blinked and continued to ask, "Ueno Zoo?"
Usami imdiately beca vigilant and retorted, "Eriri, what are you going to do? I'm warning you, don't you dare follow us!"
After saying that, she even raised her small fist in a show of defiance.
If it were an ordinary girl, Eriri wouldn't be scared at all, but Usami was different. The strength contained in that girl's small fist was not sothing just anyone dared to endure.
Eriri instinctively shrank her neck and said with a bright smile, "Ahaha~~~ Of course not! Mizuki, don't worry. We're good friends, how could I possibly interrupt your date?"
Unbeknownst to them, their conversation gradually got a little louder, and the president on the sofa heard everything.
