Chapter 387 More People in Club Activities Than Last Time
Under Kaede's focused care, Eriri's cold completely disappeared in less than a week.
Finally, it wouldn't affect the upcoming weekend's club activities.
With the help of the Ryūzu Group, Kawashima Ami completely resolved the stalker situation. And by revealing her true nature in front of that stalker, Kawashima Ami naturally lost an ardent fan. However, this was what she wanted to see most; she didn't want such a fan.
After resolving these matters, Kawashima Ami, aside from her work, slowly began to reveal the other side of herself that she had previously kept hidden while she was at school.
Of course, she didn't reveal everything all at once; she still needed to give everyone some time to accept it.
But even so, everyone still vaguely sensed that Kawashima Ami seemed to have undergone some changes. However, no one paid much mind to it; they had seen similar things before, such as Aisaka Taiga in their class, whose transformation from last year until now has been significant.
Friday afternoon, club room.
Colette, sitting on a chair, excitedly said, "Tomorrow is the club activity! It's my first time participating in a club activity!"
Eriri asked in surprise, "Colette-chan, you didn't participate in any club activities during middle school?"
"Nope~"
Colette shook her head and said, "During middle school, I just went home after school. Those girls were always talking about makeup and clothes—it was so boring. I'd rather go watch ants move house in the park."
No, perhaps it should be said that your way of thinking is quite unconventional.
To be honest, a girl like Colette is quite rare.
Even Eriri, setting aside her otaku traits, can still converse with everyone on other topics, and she can speak eloquently when discussing clothes and makeup with other girls.
But a girl like Colette, who doesn't care about the things normal girls like, is truly uncommon.
In fact, up until now, no one has figured out what Colette's deepest favorite hobby is.
Does she have one? It's impossible that she doesn't, yet it also seems like she truly doesn't.
All in all, this is a question worth researching thoroughly.
Setting aside the issue of Colette's preferences, the Club President looked at Kaede and Eriri and asked, "Kitamura said he can't make it tomorrow, right? Kushieda too? Club training?"
"Yes, that's right."
Kaede nodded, "They started their training camp these past few days. It seems there will be a practice match before the High School League begins, scheduled for next weekend. However, everyone else will be coming: Kasumigaoka-senpai, Takasu, and Oosaka. Those three will be here on time."
Colette quickly raised her hand and said, "Rikka and the others are coming too! And Togashi's little sister! I've met Kuzuha-chan; she's super cute, and she said she'll make lots of snacks and bring them over!"
One of Togashi Yuuta's younger sisters, Togashi Kuzuha, is a middle school student, but she is said to be in charge of household chores and is very good at cooking.
Additionally, Togashi Yuuta has another five-year-old sister, Yumeha, but she won't be coming tomorrow; their mother will be taking care of her.
Patting Colette's head, Kaede said with a smile, "You already mentioned that at noon. Didn't everyone except the Club President already know?"
"Huh?" The Club President pointed to himself and said in surprise, "Are you saying this information didn't need to be shared with me?"
"Well, it doesn't make much difference, does it?"
"..."
The Club President felt that his role as the Art Club President was being challenged, yet he seemed to have no way to refute it.
This was normal, after all, except when there were activities in the club, the Club President's presence was generally very weak.
He was either sleeping or on his way to sleep.
Ignoring the melancholic-looking Club President, Kaede said, "Since the attendance list is confirmed, everyone should look forward to tomorrow's cherry blossom viewing. Eriri and I will also prepare some delicious food. We'll make some Chinese-style pastries and some fried items."
Usami smiled and raised her hand, "I'll help make things too! Although I don't know how to make much, I can certainly make sushi and small desserts!"
Hearing the words of her seniors, Colette inevitably swallowed hard.
While other things might be uncertain, this little girl definitely loves food... Saturday, early morning.
The doorbell rang. Utaha, who had agreed to attend today's Art Club activity, arrived at Kaede and Eriri's home.
Opening the door, Eriri looked at Utaha standing at the entrance and said with a smile, "Good morning."
"Good morning." Smiling as she walked in, Utaha greeted Kaede, who was in the kitchen, and then said, "But isn't the time you asked me to come a little too early?"
"It's because I was afraid you'd stay up all night writing and then wouldn't be able to make it this morning."
Leading Utaha inside, Eriri said irritably, "That's happened more than once, don't tell me you forgot."
When Eriri brought this up, Utaha looked embarrassed: "That can't be helped. When inspiration strikes during creation, who pays attention to the time? Before you know it, it's morning."
"Exactly! I thought it would be better to be early." Walking over to the kitchen, she picked up a sandwich breakfast Kaede had just prepared and handed it to Utaha. "Here, as compensation for making you wake up early, breakfast is ready for you too. What do you want to drink? Coffee or milk?"
"Thank you. Coffee, please. I feel like I don't need to drink milk anymore."
"..."
Eriri silently glanced at Utaha's ample chest and clicked her tongue, "I shouldn't have brought that up."
Kaede, standing nearby, picked up the other two portions of breakfast and handed them to Eriri, smiling helplessly, "Alright, take the food over first. What do you want to drink, Eriri?"
"Coffee!"
After eating breakfast and resting for a while, they finished preparing the remaining food they planned to bring that day. The three of them went downstairs and headed next door to the Takasu Family Home.
Aisaka Taiga had arrived at Takasu Ryuji's house early and cadged a breakfast there.
When Kaede and the others arrived, Aisaka Taiga was standing beside Takasu Ryuji, watching him prepare the snacks.
Takasu Yasuko's daily routine was now completely regular. Today was a day off, and while the children went out for cherry blossom viewing, she, as a parent, was naturally not idle. She had arranged to go shopping with the mothers of the others; everyone had plans.
Seeing Kaede and the others arrive, Takasu Yasuko said with a smile, "Good morning, everyone. Would you like to come in for a cup of tea? Ryuji still needs a little more time."
Naturally, no one stood on ceremony. They sat down around the table to drink tea and wait for Takasu Ryuji to finish the snacks.
