Entering the club

You know, it's really funny how people can be filled with an inexplicable sense of confidence before facing something complicated, only to end up regretting it... This might make you wonder, 'Why am I saying all this?'

"........"

<"Why don't you just go in already?">

"It's easier said than done!"

Because now I'm facing that exact situation!! I didn't think it'd actually be this hard to gather the courage to show up at a club for the first time. To start, how am I even supposed to do it?! Unlike a class, joining a club at Carmilla Academy is a display of determination, meaning it's hard to get in and easy to get out. It's no wonder, according to my research, the literature club only has 4 members and one advisor in charge. This proves how difficult it is!! What should I do?

Maybe I should ask Echidna for advice? After all, she's the oldest person (goddess) I know, so she should have some good advice!

"So please give me your wisdom! Professor Echidna!!"

<"I think you know the price of my help, right?">

"....Haa... How many desserts...?"

<"This time I want a large four-layer wedding cake.">

"Wait... What?!"

<"Take it or leave it, but remember time's running out.">

"Ughh.... Fine!"

I admit Echidna's request surprised me. As much as I know how fascinated she is with desserts, I never expected her to ask for something like that. But... if that's the price to pay to overcome this problem... then I'll do it!!

"I really hope it's great advice for what it's worth."

<"Of course. After all, I've dealt with many humans throughout my existence, so I know how you should treat them.">

"That sounds reliable. So, what should I do?"

<"It's simple. You just need to show confidence.">

"Confidence?"

<"That's right. When you introduce yourself to someone for the first time, you must make your position and worth clear to the other party.">

"Will that actually work?"

<"Of course, but no matter what, you must never demean yourself or show weakness, or it could jeopardize your position.">

I wasn't entirely convinced by what Echidna said, but I had to admit it was my best option in this situation, lacking any other ideas about what to do.

"Ughh.... I can do this... Focus, me!!"

So I searched deep within myself for the 'confidence' needed for the presentation to the other members, and gathering my courage, I entered with full confidence...

"Alright, now that we're all here, let's start the activity report."

"Okay."

"We begin with..."

(Door slams open!!)

"I have come to join!!"

"Huh?"

"What...?"

"?"

Alright, it seems I made an impact. Now I just need to maintain the impression by showing my 'dignity.'

"Umm, you're Mireya, right?"

"Indeed, that is my name."

"Do you need something?"

Facing the question from the club advisor, who looked at me with a perplexed expression, I decided to answer, overflowing with self-confidence.

"I am the master who has descended upon this club."

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!♥♥♥"

Huh? Her reaction isn't what I imagined?

"♥Um, what do you mean?"

Ugh, I guess I just imagined it. Alright, I just need to stick to the plan.

"That's why I'll repeat it. I am the master who has come to conquer this club."

"♥♥♥♥♥"

"Huh?!"

But before I could continue with my grand introduction, all the club members collapsed on the spot. Why?!

But after that, they immediately got up, and their next actions left me speechless with shock, as all of them bowed before me, panting and pathetically swaying their hips, staring intently at me with passionate eyes, never looking away.

"M-Master♥ I've been waiting♥♥ Um♥ I am the literature club advisor♥ I've been waiting with all my heart for the day I could serve you as your slave♥♥"

Honestly, I don't even know what to say. You should really praise me for keeping a straight face in this bizarre situation, which made me react to the surge in my own 'dark history' to ask.

"Hmm, what's happening with the literature club?"

"We've been waiting for you for a long time, Master ♥♥ All the club members and I would like you to dominate us♥"

"........"

I think this is the second time I've said this today but.... How did this happen?!
