Bringing Reira-senpai with us

When we returned to the conference room, the atmosphere shifted subtly but noticeably.

The club presidents waiting outside barely glanced up from their hushed conversations, too preoccupied with rehashing their strategy to get their proposal accepted without any modification.

Watanabe, however, shot us a curious look as we passed, her sharp eyes narrowing slightly. Well, she’s not oblivious to my relationship with the girls so she already had an inkling to where we went. Minami Shouko stood beside her with her arms crossed. The way she looked at me had a hint of suspicion and exasperation. She didn’t say a word, but with how smart she was, she’d already pieced together that our “break” had been anything but innocent.

“Should I start sending them in, President?” Watanabe peeked in her head and asked seconds after we entered the room

Shizu nodded smoothly, her composure unshaken. “Mhm. We’re ready to continue.”

Minami Shouko entered after that as she took her place again.
