"Again, you're late. And what's this? You brought another girl with you. She's not even from our school!"
Faced with the grumpy Rumi, hands on her waist after opening the door for us, I could only force a smile as the vampire fanatic quickly hid behind me. She felt the pressure coming from the senior in front of her.
Soon afterward, Nina peeked her head out slightly to greet and introduce herself to Rumi.
"Hello, senpai. I am Nagase Nina, Ruki-senpai's junior. I'm here to investigate him!"
"Investigate?"
"Yes! His origins as the Noble of the Night!"
"Noble of the... What? Hey Ruki, where did you pick this girl up?"
Baffled at the words coming out of her mouth, Rumi turned to me.
"Downstairs. Don't mind her. She has a wild imagination."
I answered which made the vampire fanatic step out of hiding to retort or maybe defend hercause.
"It's not my imagination! You're purposefully playing dumb, senpai!"
Rumi alternately looked at us before settling at me.
"Oh. So, you're casually kidnapping a junior now."
"I wish it's as simple as that."
If I'm going to kidnap someone, it'll be Mami to torment Ogawa again.
Alright. Scratch that, I'd rather get Sumire or Umi than this girl who cannot be persuaded to drop her fantasy.
"So, she came here specifically for you, huh? Wait. I remember. I read something about this certain junior in the group. Is it her?"
Having remembered that, Rumi took another look at Nina who was currently acting fidgety while twirling her hair.
Without needing my confirmation, Rumi then stepped forward, grabbed the girl's hand, and brought her in.
"Eh? Senpai? Am I getting abducted" Surprised, Nina blurted out nonsense as she tried to reach out to me.
I simply waved my hand at her as I watched her be brought over to our usual meeting table.
There, Kana, Hana, and Rae eyed the newcomer who was acting a little pitiful and abandoned at the moment.
I ignored her and closed the door behind me before approaching them.
I first went to my Kana, hugging her from behind even with Nina still trying to get my attention.
"How is it? Have you made some progress?"
"I do. Wanna read it?"
"As expected of the Noble of the Night. Senpai, did you bring me to one of your dens? So, is Rumi-senpai the same?"
"Shut up. And you, come here and deal with your junior."
"Yes, President."
I forced a laugh before moving over to them.
Nina followed me with her gaze and as soon as I reached them, she stood up and pulled me
down to sit in between them.
"Fuuu... I was scared for no reason. I thought I was going to be interrogated, senpai."
"You're still at it?"
"What do you mean? I've just seen you be intimate with them. That's the proof of my conjecture! You're amazing, Ruki-senpai. Now, use your powers on me!"
The urge to facepalm welled up in me. Rumi on my left tapped my shoulder as though sending
me her pity.
I turned my gaze to her and saw the girl holding back her lips from curving upwards.
Yeah. She's enjoying my suffering.
"Listen here, Nina..." As I started with that, I flicked her forehead lightly. "There's no power, your senpai here is nothing but a playboy who loves all of them. Do remember that."
"Eh... Even if that's the case, it's unheard of for girls to accept that they share their man with
other girls. Don't fool me, senpai."
"I'm not fooling you."
"I'm not convinced."
"How can I convince you then?"
"Bite me." Once again, she's offering her flawless neck.
"..." I went silent for a while, staring at her for a good ten seconds. Shortly after that, I fixed
her uniform, "Girl, you're weird."
"Un. I get that a lot. Hehe. You know what, senpai? One time Mami told me to stop talking when I went into a weird tangent after talking about Kazuo-senpai. Only you are patient
enough to listen to me like this."
I see... This girl...
She knew what she was doing here. She's intentionally acting like this because I play along
with her. It's not that she's deluded. In fact, she probably realized that I couldn't be what she claimed me to be. It's just that, she felt liberated being patiently treated by me.
She's still a hopeless girl though.
