Unlike me who was suffering for not understanding Senjo-senpai at all, Shizuki seemed to understand Senjo-senpai"s objective, and suggested to go with Senjo-senpai somewhere. And Senjo-senpai accepted readily.
"Where should we go, what about the clubroom? I have the key so I can enter freely, there we can talk without interruptions"
Senjo-senpai speaks to Shizuki a bit nervously. Shizuki who heard it, saw me.
When I nod, Shizuki also nods.
"Yes, no problem"
Shizuki is answers after gaining my consent.
Even if it is trivial, she seeks my confirmation. Fufu, so cute.
"Well then, let"s move to the clubroom…"
Senjo-senpai said after hearing Shizuki"s answer.
"Well, if possible—"
"If it is about being alone with me, it is not possible"
Before Senjo-senpai could finish, Shizuki said that.
"My master has given me permission to meet you, but it is essential that he accompanies us. That is the condition that my master has put after hearing my selfish request. So I will keep my promise"
Shizuki spoke decisively while staring straight at Senjo-senpai.
The feeling of trying to adhere to my conditions is good, but, how do you call me master in front of others?
I should have paid attention to that beforehand, but my head wasn"t thinking straight.
Well, I already said that Shizuki and I are in a relationship, so others don"t have the right to tell how we should call each other, but still, this is embarra.s.sing.
Well, I never told Shizuki to call me like that. She just started calling me master selfishly. I never demanded it from her.
"I see. Well, it is okay. It is not absolutely necessary, so we three can talk"
Senjo-Senpai said as she stared at Shizuki while sending me glances from time to time. Perhaps it is something she didn"t want me to hear.
Or rather, it feels like she is scared.
Nevertheless, Senjo-senpai accepted the condition Shizuki issued, and we headed to the clubroom.
When we arrive at the club building, the electric light of the external lights and stairs were on, but the windows on the sides were all dark. It seems that all the students have gone back.
When we enter the building following Senjo-senpai, we go up the stairs.
Because of it being silent, our footsteps sounded loud.
It is different from the old building, it is a beautiful building, but it is creepy and strange, it resembles the hospitals at night.
When we arrive at the second floor, Senjo-senpai stopped in front of the innermost door, took a key out of her pocket and opened the door.
"Em, you can sit wherever you want"
Senjo-senpai looked back after opening the door and said so with a smile. And after she entered the room we follow in.
As soon as I entered, a sweet smell invaded my nose and I accidentally frown.
It is because of the armor that the kendo club uses, it seems that the armors acc.u.mulate the odor of when they practice so the clubroom is full of it.
The sweat arouses me.
But I am disappointed when I look around, and couldn"t help but frown my face at the intensely sweet smell.
The cleaning of the clubroom seems to be very well done, everything is tidy and neat.
Because it is the female Kendo club I thought there would be underwear somewhere that someone forgot, or towels dropped around. I expected that kind of thing.
"You can sit down"
Senjo-senpai went to the middle of the room, looked back at us and said so.
Lockers are installed in the right and left side of the room, with a long table at the center and pipe chairs arranged side by side.
"Well, then let"s sit down"
I told Shizuki who is standing next to me, then I sat down on the rigid chair.
"Thank you"
Shizuki thanked me and sat down on the chair next to mine.
Senjo-senpai who was staring at us had a steep expression.
I immediately extend my left hand to protect Shizuki. But at the same time Shizuki extended her right arm sideways to protect me.
I was seized by the desire to stroke her head for her commendable behavior.
"Well, first, Sakura-san, I have to apologize to you"
Senjo-senpai who was watching Shizuki with a steep expression, lowered her knees and kneeled down on the floor.
Senjo-senpai then put both of her hands to the floor while looking at Shizuki and lowers her head. That was it.
I was wonder-stricken and I saw Shizuki. However, unlike me, Shizuki had a serious look and looks down on Senjo-senpai. Do you know the reason of Senjo-senpai"s strange behavior?
"Sa-Sakura-san, I-I was despising you…"
Senjo-senpai raises her voice while keeping the dogeza. And that voice went through the silent room.
