"Recommend a club?"
Ichinose noticed the badge on Seishiki's chest.
"If you want to recommend a club, why not head over to the campus forum?"
Seishiki was stunned. The school phone did have a site similar to a 'campus bulletin board'—a message board and poster display. But it was managed by the school, not student-run, and everyone's account was tied to their phone's name and student ID.
"Ah..."
Seishiki turned to stone. This move of his had been a problem.
"Well, well, forgetting is unavoidable."
Ichinose comforted him.
"Then come in and tell everyone about it."
Ichinose took Seishiki's hand and stood at the podium.
All of Class B's gazes fixed on Seishiki, who was extremely nervous.
"Everyone, would you listen to this child... that is, Otonashi Seishiki from Class A, talk about his club?"
"Sure!"
"He looks super cute."
"Whoa, what a cute girl."
I'm a boy! I'm a boy! Seishiki roared inside, but of course he couldn't let it out now. He still had to promote his club.
"Umm... I'm Seishiki from Class 1-A, and I'm a boy. So... I'm looking for classmates who haven't joined a club yet to consider my Board Game Club... Ah... well, anyone who likes board games can come. Even just a nominal member is fine... I only need one more person. Thank you for listening to my rambling."
Seishiki bowed.
Applause erupted below... Wasn't that too much? A group of all good kids?
Seishiki covered his mouth and turned his head away. Too dazzling, this class. This was the normal class life Seishiki wanted...
Thinking about Class A having quite a few people with wildly different personalities, and then looking at Class B. It was like a breath of fresh air! All normal people, absolutely wonderful.
At that moment, a girl with red hair and a strong presence stepped forward.
"I'll join."
"Umm... Okay, fill in your name here."
[Akaya Nanaka] (Original Character)
That makes three people, great! For Seishiki, the club wasn't about having many members, but whether it could run smoothly.
"Thank you, Akaya-san."
"No need to thank me, Otonashi-kun."
With the task completed so smoothly, he'd submit the form in the afternoon!
Seishiki returned to his own class humming a tune, very happy.
"My, did something good happen?"
Sakayanagi Arisu glanced at Seishiki and spoke.
"I finally got enough people for the club."
"You've worked hard. Do you need a pat on the head?"
Seishiki blushed and retorted.
"Don't treat me like a dog! Hey! You scheming jerk."
"Well, do your best running your club. Maybe one day I'll be interested and join."
"You're very welcome to come, Sakayanagi-san."
After school, he handed the form to Senior Horikita.
"Exactly three people?"
"I'll consider expanding later!"
Seishiki interlaced his fingers, his innocent smile capable of charming most people.
"Mm. Tomorrow, I'll notify you of the [Board Game Club]'s activity room and advisor."
"Thank you, Senior Horikita."
Horikita Manabu pushed up his glasses.
"You earned the spot yourself. No need to thank me."
"Umm, I think it's basic courtesy."
Horikita recalled yesterday when Seishiki was losing his mind, calling him by a nickname and speaking in a way that had nothing to do with courtesy.
"Then if there's nothing else, I'll head back."
Seishiki Otonashi pushed open the door and saw Senior Nagumo standing outside.
"You don't mind if I have a little chat with this kid, do you, Senior Horikita?"
"Huh?"
Seishiki Otonashi looked at Nagumo Miyabi before him with confusion.
Senior Horikita glanced at Nagumo Miyabi and said calmly.
"That depends on the person involved."
"If it's just talking, then I don't mind."
Seishiki Otonashi gave a small smile.
But the orange-haired girl behind Nagumo Miyabi immediately hugged Seishiki Otonashi.
"So cute~ All soft and fluffy."
"U-um... Senior Nagumo, could you tell her to let go..."
