Date with Seraphine Senpai Part-1

[Kiyotaka POV]

I left my dorm in the morning and walked around Keyaki mall alone.

I did have a goal in mind, a gift for my favorite sensei.

But I haven't decided on what I wanted to buy, so I went for a stroll through the shopping district.

I looked around a few stores, but couldn't find anything I liked. As I walked along, wondering what to do, I was approached from behind.

"Fancy meeting you here, Ayanokouji."　

"Hey, Sera. What's up?"

I told her good morning and Sera smiled back. Three days was enough time for us to more or less get to know each other, and we have built up enough acquaintance points that if we saw each other on the street, we would call out to one another.

''I'm looking for something today.''

"That's unusual. Arent you the type of dude that decides what to buy before you make a move."

"That's usually the case. But I'm buying a gift for my favorite sensei today."

"Really? You don't seem like a teacher's pet.'' Sera scanned me from top to bottom.

''I'm not. It's just a hobby of mine.''

''Your hobby is to shower sensei's with gifts.''

''Mmm.. You could say that.''

''What are you, a sugar daddy?''

Sera giggled at my response. I wasn't joking tho. People have different hobbies. Some like to read books, some like to play sports, and some like to build the death star from star wars with legos. Mine just happens to be flirting with Chabishira sensei whenever I can.

"So, where's Fuuka?" I changed the topic.

For better or worse I haven't encountered her the whole day. A rare phenomenon indeed. Usually, she would come rushing towards me at every opportunity she gets.

"She's currently relaxing in the school spa. She likes to do it every two weeks.''

I guess even that snob of a woman cares about her looks.

"Oh, really? If you're free, I was wondering if you could accompany me in choosing a present for my sensei. It would be great if you could give me some advice. Of course, I'll return the favor."

Sera's opinion is far more valuable than mine when it comes to these regards. She's a woman after all.

"Okay. Then lunch will be your treat." She agreed.

"Sure, sure." I sighed.

It's not the first time the two of us have gone out together. In the last couple of days, there have been many times when we would split up with Fuuka to go shopping for snacks and drinks before the club starts.

I have the impression that she follows me around because she does not want to be alone in the same room as Fuuka. Can't say I blame her.

I really don't see the point of our club, all we do is eat and play video games.

"So, let's start from basics. Have you decided what you want to buy?"

"I'm thinking of something safe. Like flowers. Girls like flowers right?

''Meh...I'm not really a fan. But yeah, more or less.''

''Especially those plastic ones." I nodded.

"What? .....Are you high on Ketamine? Why would you get her plastic flowers?''

Sera looked flabbergasted at my choice.

''I honestly don't see a point in getting her real flowers. Aren't they just gonna die after a few days?''

''........''

''Besides I can always say something cool like- I got you these cause unlike a real flower these won't wither and die, just like our love. Does that make sense?''

'' OYA OYA I THOUGHT THIS WAS FOR YOUR SENSEI!?!''

''It is.''

''YOU SURE SHE SECRETLY ISN'T YOUR GIRLFRIEND?!?

''Only in my wet dreams.''

''WHAT!?!''

''What.''

Sera took the lead and began walking as we talked. I began walking behind her, keeping a friendly distance between us.

All the while I couldn't help but recall the conversation I had with Fuuka.

What a troublesome woman even casually invading my thoughts.

---------------------------------------------

''By the way, I forgot to tell you this,'' Fuuka passed me a glass of black liquid from the counter. Cofee I assume.

We were currently seated at the far corner of a cafe, it uses a french style of coffee brewing which makes it stand out. Despite its uniqueness, it has a lack of customers. In fact, we were the only ones.

I inspected the drink with a suspicious gaze before eventually taking a sip. Knowing Fuuka's unpredictable tendencies, there is no telling if she spiked my drink or not.

"I think we need something fresh!" Fuuka declared while sitting next to me.

"...What are you talking about now?"

"The cherry blossom-filled new school year, the innocent new students unused to their uniforms, the old guard leaving to be replaced with fresh blood, harvesting the ripe fruit... Y'know."

Ripe fruit? Though I got the gist of what she wanted.

"...That last part kinda gives me a bad feeling. So basically, you want new club members?"

"Yes, I have a thirst for some pretty girls."

''.....''

I stared at her unfazed, her random antics doesn't amuse me anymore. Not that it ever did.

"...And you want me to get them to join?" By now I learned the way this woman's mind functions, it's not just a clown it's an entire circus in there.

"Yes, I have a thirst for some young pretty girls."

"Ok, I got it. You don't need to repeat it... This is such a gigantic pain..."

"Yes, I'd like to lick some pretty little girls in black tights."

''Stop adding things!''

Fuuka isn't even a lesbian, believe me, if she was, I'd be the happiest man alive. At the very least, she'd leave me alone.

As far as I can tell, she says and does stuff like this just to mess with me.

"Yes, I'd like a pretty little girl in black tights who has a small chest she's self-conscious about."

"...You're not even listening to me, are you?.''

'' SO... You up for the task?'' She finally brought her attention back to me, taking a sip from her drink with a straw.

''I refuse.''

''Don't worry I'm willing to share.''

''That's...not the point..''

This is going nowhere.

''We are gonna need another club member, or we are getting disbanded by the end of this week,'' Fuuka said with a carefree smile.

''Oh? You don't say?''

You need a bare minimum of 4 members to officially start a club. Right now it's just me, Fuuka, and Sera. This might possibly be the best news I heard all-day.

''I mean I got seraphine to join, so it's only natural that you get one to join as well. You know following your senpai's footsteps.''

Only natural she says? It's like she completely forgot I wasn't even on board with this whole club thing. I was the cat that got swept away in Fuuka's hurricane of nonsense.

But on the bright side of things, all I have to do is pass the time and I can actually say goodbye to the club by the end of this Saturday. I'm gonna miss it as much as I've missed my father.

''I know what your thinking? Just so you know it's a bad idea.''

''Mmm.. how so?'' I asked. Her words intrigued me.

"If there is no club, I won't be able to hang out with you on a daily basis. So I'll take the next best thing. Your ROOM! ....GASP! Unless that was your plan all along. You want your senpai to stay in your room, so you can take advantage of my body without anyone knowing. Ayanokouji you sly dog!!'' Fuuka slapped my back.

''....''

It's a shame that locking your senpai up in your basement is frowned upon by society.

''Soo...you want someone with small breasts?'' I said giving up.

''I also want some contrast in our club. Make sure she's innocent. Like super-innocent. You know the type that thinks babies are delivered by storks or something.''

''....''

Getting a new student to join the club, huh?

...Doubt that's possible.

Our club essentially does nothing, so who'd be interested?

How do I even persuade them to join? We have so little purpose that I don't even know why we have a club room. Seriously what kind of student council president green lights such a club.

..Haaah, what a pain.
