5. Mysterious girls and societies(2/2)
"The name of the article!"
Only then did Toru Watanabe remember that he had indeed not written a title for the manuscript.
Think about it... what's the name of the article in the library... "The Us Before"...
""The Future of Us""
The member in charge of registration wrote the title on Toru Watanabe's manuscript and the relevant information on the registration form.
"alright!"
Watanabe Toru nodded: "It's troublesome."
"Go out, the Arts Department doesn't welcome you!"
How did the beautiful girl Rin Kiyono join the literary club?
With such doubts, Toru Watanabe returned to the classroom.
As soon as he entered the door, Osamu Kunii shouted with a loud voice: "Watanabe! I heard Saito say that you joined Kiyono Rin's club!"
Watanabe Toru noticed that other students in the class looked over.
"That's right." He nodded.
"What does that society called Human Observation do?"
"I'm also very curious. I really don't understand the relationship between submitting articles to literary and art clubs and observing human beings." Saito Keisuke followed up and asked.
Watanabe Toru shrugged: "Maybe the results of observing human beings are written into a report and published through the literary club. It doesn't matter, as long as I can leave early."
"Can I not go to the club?" Saito Keisuke asked.
"I'll go there once after school on Friday. According to the director Kiyono Rin, it doesn't take long and you can leave soon."
Saito Keisuke had a look of realization on his face: "It suits you well, Watanabe. No wonder you joined. I thought you were really fascinated by Kiyono-san."
If Toru Watanabe remembered correctly, he made it clear in the morning that he would leave early, but Saito still looked unbelieving. How could he be there at noon...
At this time, he noticed the gazes around him.
It turned out to be because of this. Are you afraid of the scandal that 'Toru Watanabe joins the Human Observation Department in pursuit of Rin Kiyono'?
If a poor boy like Toru Watanabe dares to pursue a high-altitude flower like Rin Kiyono, he will probably be ridiculed by those around him saying, "This guy doesn't know his social class."
People here in Tokyo are really good at reading the atmosphere.
Just as Toru Watanabe was thinking, Osamu Kunii suddenly lowered his voice: "Hey, Watanabe, my good friend, what are the conditions for joining the company?"
"...No?"
Watanabe Tetsu wasn't sure either. Anyway, he had not experienced any entrance test.
"You want to join too? You are a member of the baseball club. Even if the Human Observation Department only takes up a little time on Friday, it's not enough." He asked curiously.
It is true that Kamikawa High School students can join three clubs at the same time, but the baseball club has even used the time in the morning, let alone the official time for club activities after school.
Osamu Kunijing didn't care at all and showed a vulgar expression: "Well, there is always time to squeeze."
"Hey!" Saito Keisuke's head was full of black lines, "Don't you already have Yamaguchi Naomi? And is Kiyono Rin someone you can pursue?"
"What's wrong with me? I'm still a member of the baseball club!" Osamu Kunii avoided answering Naomi Yamaguchi's topic.
Man, there's nothing in the bowl yet, so I'm thinking about what's in the pot.
Saito Keisuke laughed twice disdainfully.
The baseball club is a popular club at Kamikawa High School. The boys who can join are all very powerful and popular - the ones Japanese women want to marry, and professional baseball players are among the best.
But compared with the daughter of a big capitalist, let alone a member of a high school baseball club, even a star professional baseball player is hard to say.
Osamu Kunijing obviously knew about this situation, and touched his head: "I just accompany Watanabe, I have no other meaning."
Watanabe Toru glanced at this guy: "I think I want to get up close and personal with Rin Kiyono every week."
"You still understand me! There are still twenty minutes in the afternoon class, let's go!" Osamu Kunii slapped the table and walked out of the classroom.
"Where to go?" Saito Keisuke shouted.
"The club building!"
"Now? Are you crazy?"
"Are we partners?"
"No. But if I'm treating you to dinner tonight, it's not impossible to accompany you."
"Okay, okay, hurry up!"
Saito Keisuke smiled and patted Toru Watanabe on the shoulder: "Let's go, Watanabe."
The three of them walked through the elevated corridor between the buildings and arrived at the activity classroom of the Human Observation Department.
Kunijing Shu stood at the door, but did not have the courage to knock on the door.
He pushed Toru Watanabe forward and whispered, "Watanabe, knock on the door!"
Toru Watanabe had no idea about Rin Kiyono, so he naturally had no inferiority complex, shyness, etc. He knocked on the door and was the first to walk in after getting permission.
The girl was sitting by the window, holding a hardcover book in her hands like freshly peeled bamboo shoots; the sea breeze blowing from Tokyo Bay was stroking her long hair.
The beautiful and lovely face has no expression, only the charming eyes, which have various ripples from time to time because of reading.
Osamu Kunii and Keisuke Saito were stunned.
"Kyono-san, submissions to the literary club are ready," Toru Watanabe said.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Qingye Rin nodded and turned back a page of the book in his hand.
"Also," Toru Watanabe stepped aside, revealing the two people behind him, "I have two classmates who also want to join the Human Observation Club."
Keisuke Saito, who followed, had no objection.
Qingye Rin picked up the bookmark and sandwiched it between the title pages, put the book aside, and looked at the two of them.
The mobile classroom fell silent, and Toru Watanabe heard Osamu Kunii swallowing nervously and making a loud voice.
He turned back and glanced at Kunijing Shu, who was already blushing.
Rin Qingye crossed his arms and seemed to be looking down at the two of them even though he was sitting: "Answer me a question, and you can join after you pass."
"No problem!" Osamu Kunii replied in the same resounding voice he used when answering the baseball director.
"You, eliminated."
Osamu Kunijing was stunned, and after a long while he stammered "Huh?"
Rin Kiyono's originally calm tone dropped slightly: "You didn't even read the requirements to join the company and you came for the interview?"
"Um, I..." Osamu Kunijing was speechless and looked quite anxious and uneasy.
Kiyono Rin ignored him and looked at Saito Keisuke with a scrutinizing gaze.
Saito Keisuke quickly said: "I have seen it."
When Toru Watanabe spoke in the morning, he recounted the strange requirements for joining the company. He probably remembered some of them, but Osamu Kunii, who listened to his narration, was not so lucky.
Just when Keisuke Saito was about to repeat the admission requirements that he had not remembered in full, Rin Kiyono glanced at Toru Watanabe and picked up the hardcover book again and started reading.
Let them go... This is what Toru Watanabe read from her eyes.
"Kyono-san, Saito has really seen it and came here with sincerity. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
"I hate liars." If there was a slight temperature difference in Kiyono Rin's voice just now, it has completely calmed down now.
An aura similar to 'Don't disturb me, waste time' spread from the girl.
Watanabe Toru looked back at the two of them. Osamu Kunii looked at him with pitiful eyes that said, "Leave quickly, I can't hold it anymore." Keisuke Saito also shook his head and signaled to forget it.
"Sorry to bother you," he said.
Qingye Rin nodded almost invisible: "Walk slowly."
Osamu Kunii immediately ran out, followed closely by Keisuke Saito. When Toru Watanabe was about to go out, Rin Kiyono's voice came from behind.
"Watanabe-san."
"Huh?" Watanabe Toru turned around subconsciously.
The girl kept the posture of holding the book in her hands, facing the sunshine outside the window, and looked at him motionlessly: "Do you like me?"
"Ah?" Toru Watanabe was confused by what she said.
"Answer the question." Qingye Rin did not explain his doubtful intention.
"I like it, Qingye-san is so cute."
It’s always right to say nice things anyway, right?
"Sure enough, there is value in continuing to observe. Remember to come to the club after school tomorrow." Qingye Rin withdrew his gaze and said, "Close the door when you go out."
Watanabe Toru has no idea what the other person is talking about. What is the value of observation?
He, Watanabe, is just an ordinary high school student. Even though he has a plug-in, it has not been put to use yet!
