Okumura Masamune and Torajirou Ryuuzouji.

  Those two were Masa's two male friends.

  One was a childhood friend, and the other was someo in high school.

  As for the uy, who peeked at the previous chapter, they weren't friends, especially after this guy's ent during middle school. Still, watg Masa's group was fun, and there was no doubt this guy was quite jealous.

  "Wait, a durian dy? Where did you buy it?"

  "Singapore."

  "Did you go to Singapore on the spring break?"

  "I did. Oh, there is also Toraja coffee to some with you, Tora."

  "...I know my niame is Tora, but do you have to buy a Toraja coffee, too? Still, thank you. I am curious about the taste."

  Still, his trip to Singapore naturally surprised Megumi and Midori.

  "Was Singapreat, Tenma-kun? I haven't been in a fn try, after all." Midori was curious, but Megumi wondered why Masa didn't say anything.

  "This guy not only went to Singapore but also visited Shanghai, Seoul, and Jakarta. " Eriri added, which Masa looked at her speechlessly, then looked at everyone and said, "Don't make it like a big deal, okay? It isn't something so amazing."

  Yes, for Masa, going to various tries was nothing amazing, but for them, it was a big deal!

  "You went to so many tries during spring break?!"

  "Well, I am going to retire in the 2nd grade, so I thought I should make as much money as possible before that."

  "...you are as stable as ever."

  During spring break, would any high school students think to make money?

  No way.

  All of them probably thought they were having fun, enjoying their games, or spending time with friends. Still, if it was someone else, they would feel inferior, but they had been with him quite a long time, and they khat he was such a hard worker.

  "How was it? Did you enjoy those trips?"

  "I was w. How could I enjoy them?" Masa looked at them and said, "Though, if you are curious, try to save mohen maybe we go on a trip during the graduation party of h school ter."

  "OOOOOOHHHH!"

  All of them were surprised by his proposal, but somehow, they didn't hate the idea of going out together during the graduation.

  "Where should we go?"

  "California?"

  "Let's limit it to Asia."

  "Then, Thaind?"

  "How about Taiwan?"

  "Why do all of them start with "T"?"

  As they talked, Masa asked, "By the way, Masamune, do you have those colles at your house?" heless, he didn't fet to use this ce to ask about the manga colles in case another Masa appeared. He might be wealthy, but it was hard to erase his habit of living quite frugally, so if he could borrow, then why buy them, right?

  "I do." Okumura nodded and asked, "Do you want to borrow it?"

  "I—"

  "Wait! Wait! If you want to borrow it, I get it for you!" Eriri quickly said, which made Masa speechless. "What are y to pete with Masamune?" He felt that his girlfriend was trying to pete with his male childhood friend. "Masamune is straight, you know, and he is only ied in the 2D."

  "He is right." Okumura nodded firmly since his love for Liliel never ged no matter how many eons had passed!

  "..."

  It was because Eriri khat Okumura was ied in the 2D that she was worried.

  Being ied in the 2D meant that one had given up on the 3D woman, and because of that, if one couldn't trust a woman, then wouldn't oart to go after a guy since if they fell fuy, then they wouldn't be betrayed, right?

  Still, her Masa nor Okumura cared about Eriri's little thoughts as they were more ed about the faculty advisor for their club, the 2D Research Club. Frankly, this club was nothing but just a pce to enjoy games, animes, mangas, and all reted otaku for the two.

  Or rather, Masa used this pce to escape from those crazy fans sino ohought he would join such a club, right?

  However, this club might be on the verge of disba sinly the two were its members, and their advisor also retired st year.

  The new club members aside, they khat they had to get the new faculty member first.

  "Though I have to say st year was a bst." Masa sighed, thinking of st year's experien the club.

  "You said that again." Eriri eechless. "Who in their right mind would create a discotheque in the clubroom with remix EDM with anime songs?" Instead of being quiet, this guy used his seniors to make nightclub-like anime songs during the cultural festival, which caused a lot of mess. "Your faculty teacher is retired due to this, right?"

  "...don't say it that way. Suzuki-sensei is retiring because of his age."

  Yes, the advisor of the club didn't retire from the school because of the party they had made, but it was all due to the otion that the 2D Research Club and Masa, this bastard, used his seniors as scapegoats for the pns that he made, sidering they po graduate and all.

  "I have to agree with Sawamura-san this time." As the student cil president, Midori khat she had to talk. "While it was fun, it might be better not to cause that kind of a party again."

  Yes, while their school was strid also had a high reputation, it had a lot of freedom, especially at the cultural festival, so their students could freely express their ideas, yet no one ever thought to create a discotheque during the cultural festival!

  Still, Okumura and Tora remained in silence sihe two had to admit that Masa's idea was fun.

  "Do you wao join the club? You need a member, right?" Megumi asked.

  "...let's wait for a while, Megumi. This club is only suitable fuy."

  "Why is it only suitable fuy?" Megumi asked with a gentle smile, which made Eriri snicker.

  "....."

  Masa khat Megumi must have uood why this club was only suitable fuy, yet even so, she asked, which made him speechless, knowing that she was trying to tease him.

  So, how do we hahis?

  The best way to hahis problem was to ge the topic of versation.

  "Still, I will be thinking of something vanil ime."

  It meant something that could be accepted by everyone, and at the same time, Masa decided to use this ce to pretend not to hear Megumi's st question.

  "Are you sure? Your vanil is different from others, you know?"

  Hearing those words, Masa didn't bother to talk with Eriri since, pared to her, his vanil was definitely much better.

  Still—

  "Say, Masa, what should we do?"

  After the css, Masa and Okumura went to their clubroom and pyed a game together. Yes, this was eous, but they dared to do this. heless, there was no doubt that a room recious resource, especially for the club.

  Many students made their own clubs, and naturally, they wished to get a room, but naturally, they couldn't do so as the number of rooms in the school was limited, and if they wanted ohey had to either wait for the existing club to vanish or rob it from others.

  While their school had a lot of freedom, it also taught the students to pete with each other fiercely, teag them the ess of society.

  Naturally, as their club had caused a mess st year, there was no doubt that those clubs who didn't have their own rooms would try to steal their rooms.

  Okumura was worried and didn't know what to do.

  "It will be fine. We know Taki-san and Tora, who are members of the student cil. If I am forced, then I even ask for the principal's special treatment, so as long as I study here, this club won't disband."

  "You... You..."

  Okumura felt that this guy was simply a vilin!

  After all, a high school student should be pure and filled with justice, right?

  Yet, this guy was filled with darkness!

  "Don't look at me like I am a vilin. It's their fault for not having a e. It's to work smarter rather than work harder, right?"

  "...no, those lines are simply a vilin, right!"

  Still, while Okumura sighed, Masa looked at him speechlessly and said, "You know, all of this isn't my fault, right? Who was the one whht 18+ items to the club? If there is no such thing, then Megumi and Eriri join with peaind, and we don't have to worry about anything."

  "I am sorry!"

  Yup, it was all due to Okumura and all of the 2D club seniors who had brought all the 18+ works to their club, turning this pto a treasure trove where all of them collected many rare works that could only be produced in limited amounts.

  Yes, in the eyes of some people, this pce was a holy nd!

  "If you uand, then work harder to find the teacher for our club."

  "Leave that to me!"

  While Masa might seem a bastard, Okumura khat this guy worked harder than ao preserve this club, and he hadn't done anything, so that was why he khat he had to find the advisor teacher for their club.

  "I will go now!"

  "Ah, don't ihat homo, macho teacher!"

  Masa shivered whehought of oeacher who made him shiver.

  "...I will make a note of that."

  Still, as Okumura left, Masa let out a helpless sigh, but then again, he had to say this pce was full of memory. Everyone had a limited amount of mo that time, and because of that, to enjoy as much wonderful work as possible, they worked together, sharing their possessions, and turhis pto the holy nd of every man.

  It would be a shame for this pce to disappear, he thought.

  If Masa could bring all of them home, it would be good, but he khat his older sister would burn all of them.

  'As for Eriri...'

  Masa shook his head since he didn't want his girlfriend's symptoms to worsen, so this pce had to be protected. More importantly, he also wished to give responsibility to the geion, the cultural man, who uood art.

  Yet, was there such a person among the udents?

  As he thought of the difficulty of someone searg for the successor, the door of the clubroom was suddenly knocked, and someone ued came.

  "Um... sorry for b you, but... are you looking for a new member?"

  "...."

  Masa blinked and wondered why a cute girl had e to this holy nd.
