Finally, classes are over. The rest are on cleaning duty so there is no one to stop me from leaving straight for home. How wonderful.
…
So far I have not passed by anyone in the corridor who has tried to stop me. This is too unusual considering the tone of this series. I should be careful turning this next corner just to be safe-
"Saiki-kun, where do you think you're going?"
Good grief. I did not think that Yumehara of all people would try to find me after school. Give me a break.
"Arisu-chan and I have been waiting for you in the club room, it's the first club session of the year so don't you dare leave, Mr. Club President!"
She actually sounded slightly threatening. This is unexpected. I guess I've got no choice. She doesn't seem like she is willing to let me escape easily, seeing that she is already dragging me by my collar. My lack of powers seems to have greatly reduced my reflexes and physical strength to that of an average teenage male. What a pain.
…
"Time for the inaugural club session of the Occult Club!"
You didn't have to shout. It's only the three of us here. Looks like Makino has cut her hair to look like Yumehara. What has she been doing to her? Also, why are we in a storage room?
"Yumehara-sempai said that we don't have enough members so the school moved our club room."
I resign. Speaking of which, where is Kaidou?
"Today's topic of discussion is: 'I-am-not-in-the-same-class-as-Kaidou-kun-anymore-so-what-do-I-do-now?'"
Yumehara said that in one breath. Good grief, I should leave before this gets troublesome-
"So I have come up with the perfect plan. Saiki-"
Bye, the Dark Reunion is calling.
"Oh no, looks like the door is blocked. Guess you'll have to stay, Saiki-kun."
When did she stack those tables against the door?!
"Y-Yumehara-senpai, I'll help as much as I can!"
"Thank you, Arisu-chan."
They're clasping their hands together in determination. I should try to escape now-
"Huh? This door's locked but there are voices inside? I-Is it the work of the Dark Reunion?!"
Kaidou!
"Ka- Kaidou-kun!"
Yumehara was at the door. Where did the tables go?
"Oh! Yumehara-san, Saiki, why are the two of you here? And who is this?"
Come, Kaidou. The Dark Reunion beckons.
"W- We were just discussing how to get more club members this year-"
"Club? Isn't this a storage roo-"
"-but we've just finished the session!"
Yumehara was pushing Kaidou out of the door. Isn't he a club member too? Good grief. Fortunately I had already managed to sneak out into the corridor five lines ago. Now, time to head home-
"Hey, pal!"
… What a pain.
