Helping out the Cultural Festival Committee

Before arriving at the conference room where various club presidents were lined up outside to wait for their turn inside, Minami Shouko wriggled out of my hold.

With a final, playful nudge to my shoulder, she landed on her feet, brushing down the creases in her uniform as if to erase any evidence of our little moment.

The warmth in her cheeks had yet to fully fade. However, she masked it well with an exaggerated sigh and a roll of her eyes.

"You're way too comfortable carrying people around," Taking half a step forward, she muttered while crossing her arms.

I couldn’t help but reach out for her before she left my arm’s reach, holding her from behind as I replied, "Only when they look good in my arms."

Her brows twitched. "You're insufferable, Onoda-kun."

"And yet, you're also enjoying this, senpai. Otherwise, you’d storm off right away as soon as I let go of you."
