Chapter 134: Welcomed Support

Kirei's eyes widened as she continued to stare at Naoko.

"I'm sorry, Odori-san… I saw you running outside earlier and decided to follow you… I've been meaning to talk to you for a while but… I couldn't find the courage to do so…"

Naoko clenched her fists beside her.

"Is that so? Well, we haven't talked to each other since you quit the club back then… What did you want to talk about—"

"Please let me rejoin the Idol Club!"

Naoko bowed from the waist up.

"Huh…? But why? I thought you all hated me for pushing you too hard…"

Kirei grasped the bottom of her shirt with both hands and she became teary-eyed.
