Forgetful Idiot

After letting the girl catch her breath, I raised a question, “Is your club practice over, Marika-senpai?”

She nodded, “Yes. Tanaka had lent a hand in slipping me out of the clubroom. It must be their plan to keep me there, Ruki-kun. When I announced my intention to depart, they prevented me from leaving. Should I have listened to Shizu to skip club practice?”

“Uh... I heard that Ichihara Jun planned to take her home himself. That’s why he instructed the others to prevent Marika-sama from leaving before his arrival.”

Tanaka provided more details once my eyes landed on her. Good job, I guess?

She took caution on wording that out. She’s really trying to make herself useful this time. If this was an act, I’d give it to her.
