The next day, Kiku received an email from Ivan, saying that he would be absent for a day from the club activities. Kiku was worried, but not about his absence, but rather about his words yesterday. He was worried on who he would bring over here. He was worried on the unlucky person who had to tag along, unwillingly.
This is Russia we're talking about...
...
Ivan's intention was not known to the other club members. Kiku was not sure that spilling about it was a good idea, but in case Ivan really did come with new adversaries, then he needed to report it to the club's president.
...
"I see, so Ivan is going to bring another person here?" Tamaki asked, seemingly looking forward to it.
"I don't know about another person, since he might bring a lot more than just one person." Kiku replied.
"Well, that is certainly not out of the realm of possibility." Kyouya fixed his glasses' position. "In any case, I suppose the Guest Host event will be suspended as of today?"
"That's how it is going to be."
"I wonder who he will bring here~? I'm sort of excited! How about you, Takashi?" Honey seemed so excited. Mori just grunted, nodded a bit, and smiled.
"At least we will get new guys to pick on!" Hikaru and Kaoru were excited, but in a rather wrong way. They smiled mischievously. Kiku just sighed when he realized this.
But in the end, the club activities that day went quite well.
...
...
Continuing on the evening, Ivan came back to the quarters. "Kiku, I'm back~"
Hearing his name being called, Kiku went to the entrance in order to see the new person. When he arrived, his premonitions sort of came true. Ivan brought not just one, but seemingly quite a lot.
Though, by "quite a lot", there were only three, and the three of them were trembling in fear even though Ivan was smiling all the time. Kiku understood their situation. They must feel an incredible fear running through their bodies.
"Well, too bad that I was only able to get this three to come with me~" Ivan's tone was sort of apologetic, but rather than apologetic, it was more similar to a threatening tone.
"H-hello there, J-Japan..." A shoulder-length haired man was trembling beside Ivan. He seemed to be a serious and hard-working guy, but with Ivan beside him, that kind of feature didn't really stand out since he was too afraid.
"N-nice seeing you again, Japan." A young man with glasses and carrying a laptop was standing beside the previous man. He also looked terrified.
"G-g-g-good e-e-evening..." A rather smaller man was hiding behind the man with glasses. He appeared as the one who was the most terrified among the three. He was small, so anyone would think of him as a child instead of a teenager.
"Ah, good evening too, Lithuania-san, Estonia-san, Latvia-san." Japan bowed a bit to show a sign of respect, and also a sign of sympathy. He raised his head again to look at them.
"I already explained the situation to them, so you don't have to do another briefing. Ufu~ I'm sure that this is going to be fun~!" Russia's tone was playful and fun, but also sort of terrifying.
One thing that Japan got in his mind, was that he didn't bring his sisters with him. Well, I suppose it is normal, seeing how he is depressed just by thinking of them...
"Well then you three, let's have a nice time tomorrow~!" Russia circled his big arms around the trio, but the three kept on trembling in fear.
...
...
In the next day, Ivan really brought the Baltic Trio to the Host Club. Of course, at first they were confused and nervous on what to do. However, those three brought quite a spectacle towards the female students. They were delighted to see another loli shota like Honey. Moreover, Latvia was shorter than Honey. Unusually, Honey didn't feel like his charm was falling down.
"Wow, you're so small... You're like Honey-senpai's twin!"
"T-t-thank you..." Raivis was extremely nervous. He kept on fidgeting, despite Honey and Mori were beside them, looking happy.
"Yay~! I'm happy to have Raivis as my twin brother!"
"E-eh!?"
Even during the event, Lithuania still helped preparing the tea and the cakes towards the females. They really liked the taste, and thus started to like Lithuania too. Of course, the three of them went by their human names.
"Toris! Your tea tastes amazing! Can I have seconds?"
"Of course! I'm happy that you like it!"
The event did not stop in Toris's favor. Estonia himself had some charm himself too, especially that one thing.
"Eduard! So you're really good with computers?"
"That's right! Leave everything about them to me!" Eduard looked so happy. His pride was overflowing. He showed the female students his skills, and they seemed to be delighted by it. The trio looked like they enjoyed themselves as they tried to please the girls.
Few minutes later, Ivan exited the clubroom, despite the club activities were still ongoing. Kiku noticed this right away, so when his shift was over, he exited the room too, towards Ivan's place to make sure that he didn't do anything weird.
Unexpectedly, Ivan didn't actually go very far. He just sat down on a bench on the indoor park, not far from the clubroom. Before Kiku approached him, he noticed that Ivan was looking inside the clubroom through a window. From the angle he was sitting down, he could see the trio perfectly.
"What are you doing here, Ivan-san?"
"Oh, Kiku." Ivan stood up and looked at Kiku's face. "Just taking some fresh air~" He replied with his childlike smile.
Kiku tilted his head in confusion. "Why are you looking at them?"
The Russian scratched his right cheek sheepishly while looking away. "Hmm... I just have few thoughts in my mind is all. Gathering together with friends are fun~ so I thought."
Kiku was silent for a while before went deep into thought. Oh, right... Ivan-san always said that he wanted friends and such...
Few seconds later, he sweat-dropped. ...Though I don't think that will be easy for someone like him... But I suppose even he has a soft spot.
Ivan smiled a bit. "Oh well, Kiku. I'll go back early today."
"Eh? But your shift isn't over yet, right?"
"I know, but I just want some time to collect myself together. Tell the Baltics to come over too, okay? Bye~"
Without much talk, Ivan soon strolled away, and exited the school. Kiku tried to talk again, but it would seem as Ivan was not quite himself. There was a different feeling about him. From that point on, Kiku started to think about one thing: Ivan might really be feeling lonely.

A/N: No excuse this time, but it looks like I won't be able to hold my promise anymore: to update this once a week. Ever since my college life starts, things started to become fuzzy and complicated. Even I had to suspend my fangames for a while, but I'm still making them. Anyway, hope you guys aren't tired yet of this story!
