Having understood her game, the eyes I used to see Nina got cleansed. Now, I couldn't help but put her in the same category as Otsuka-senpai. She's definitely going to continue acting this way around me and revel in my patience in dealing with her.
Will that satisfy her? Maybe. But I guess there's no harm in doing it as long as we understand each other.
I ended up flicking her forehead again and this time, I got her to pout as she cried injustice for it.
I used my thumb to 'heal' by rubbing it gently which returned the smile on her face.
Yeah. She's quite a wicked girl, no? Lucky her, I'm still in a good mood after all the good things that happened to me today.
With that aside, I just noticed that the curious girl wasn't around. Did she skip again?
I guess I'll find that out later. For now... I better set things straight with this hopeless junior... "Alright. So, tell me. What do you mean by going into weird tangents? I can't imagine how you do it."
"That's my unique skill, senpai. I love my lore and dive deeper into it but I also love talking about random things that would spark an inspiration in my head. It just happened naturally and I had no control over it."
"I see. It makes sense."
"Isn't it? So, when will you take a bite, senpai?""There you go again. I'm not thirsty so next time, I guess?"
"Shucks. Too bad. And here I thought I could cling more to you..."
"Is that your motivation here? To cling to me?"
"Yes and no... Honestly, I also love your reactions, senpai. Can you forget about everything we've talked about for the past five minutes? Pretty please?!" With puppy eyes and pursed lips to try and persuade me, Nina leaned closer.
Seeing that, my lips naturally curved up as I swiftly answered while pulling down my collar to copy what she did earlier; offering my neck to her.
"Use your powers on me then."
Upon seeing that, Nina laughed out loud as she clapped in delight.
"Well played, senpai. See? This is what I'm talking about... You're not stiff at all and you're too accommodating. You can't fool me about not being the Noble of the Night. You're using this to trick us; your victims."
At this point, the other girls in the room had already caught up on what was actually happening. Kana and Rae were shaking their heads while Hana was covering her face, maybe feeling ashamed that she projected herself on this girl who was working in an entirely different matrix.
"Don't call yourself a victim." For the third time today, I flicked her forehead.
However, she was now ready for it. She blocked my finger and stuck her tongue out, "I'm a victim of your forehead flicks!"
"Alright. That works... But let's stop here, alright? We're in our Literature Club and you're here as our guest. Either you watch on the side or join us in our activity today."
"What activity?"
With that remark, everyone burst out into a peal of laughter including Hana.
Following that, Rumi took over for me as she pulled the girl back to her side.
And while she was at it, I moved behind her, pampering her the same way I pampered Kana and Hana.
When Nina saw that, she looked at me with an expectant expression. She's expecting that her turn will also come!
until we reached the stairs.
With the mood settling down, Nina meaningfully murmured.
"I still have a lot to learn from you, senpai."
"Like what?"
"For example, your origins. Or better yet, your taste in women. When am I going to be graced
by your powers?"
"You're still on that?"
Alright. I shouldn't have asked.
"Why not? Come on, senpai. Your adorable junior begs you."
"You? Adorable? Sorry, but Umi takes that title."
"Oh. Then I can be your playful and energetic junior!"
"That's Sumire."
"... Ugh. Am I going to lose against my friends?" Sounding a little frustrated there, a determined expression flashed on her face as she glanced up at me.
When I felt her fiery gaze threatening to burn my cheek, I turned to her and lifted my free
hand.
"Want another forehead flick?"
"Senpai, you love flicking my forehead. What will happen if you leave a mark?"
While that set her back slightly, this girl continued to prove that she was not the type to back
out after starting something.
"I'll kiss it away." "Oh! Then, by all means, flick my forehead and leave a mark!"
I thought if I tried a different approach she'd feel embarrassed at least but no. It actually
boosted her eagerness. She tightened her hold on my arm and almost tipped over to my side. I had to stabilize my foot and hold her closely just to make sure that we wouldn't fall down
together.
"You crazy girl... Have I unleashed a menace?"
"You sure did. Maybe I should start calling myself your little vampire minion, senpai. All that's left after that is to be baptized by your captivating fangs."
With an impish smile, she whispered that last part seductively. Clearly expecting a different
reaction from me.
What are the odds that Tadano will suddenly pop up by the corner and see us like this? Not
zero.
