Ch 37 – 07 May, The Winner
-------------------------------------------------------------
Takao sharply stood in front of Roka who stared at her too. They may try to look intimidating from each other as if there was a spark in their stare.
“Huhuhu… you will go down. Roka.” Takao said and glared at Roka with eyes that would be on fire.
Then Roka looked up as she was much—much shorter than Takao. Her eyes were somewhat surprised, but anticipated this game would be.
Well, in the end, it was just a game which used a side-scroller where the player controls a bird, attempting to fly between columns of green pipes without hitting them, before it became faster and faster. This game would be about who could stay focused on their game as long as they could.
To Kouta's surprise, Roka could match Takao. Since Takao in the manga showed how much she spent playing games. At the same time, Roka always showed in the manga how absurd her game she made was.
Maybe because Roka actually had good overall abilities… At least as far Kouta knew she moved very fast and with a good motor since she was capable of putting those bags on people's heads in such a fast manner.
In the end, the first was won by Takao.
“How is that…” Takao said something provocative.
“Nnn…” Roka pouted in displeasure which irked her. Her relaxed atmosphere was changed as she immersed to such a tense atmosphere. Just like that, Roka won round 2 and she seemed to take this as a sign of victory, because she shot Takao with a smug smirk. An evil small fry was showing.
There was a vein practically popping out of her forehead and her brown eyes twitched since she felt angry.
What childish these two people were.
At least, the last match happened… Their tense atmosphere became apparent from their different faces from a moment ago. Show how their emotions were.
“I don’t understand… Why don't you stay in our club? Even though no one told you to leave…” Takao suddenly said. It was said in a voice clearly filled with tension and emotion.
“That’s…” Roka replied feebly. “I felt bad about the club.”
“Is that the case, why do you make the same type of club…”
“It’s because… Chitose invited me to join a new club. That’s why I can’t join your club back, because I am the captain of this club. But, I really want to have a good term with you… so… so everything will be fine if you just join our club too…”
The atmosphere immediately fell conspicuously silent in the room.
“Who the hell do you think you are!!???” Takao sounded really angry for once. Well, sometimes people who get legitimately angry could be scary. It seemed that Roka, who had been giving her best, had been beaten in the end.
Well, which means Takao won the match so these ‘temp’ GCC would be absorbed into GCC.
“Well, how about that… I won.” Takao smiled triumphantly with her smug smile stayed plastered to her face.
“Nnn… What a good game… as usual, Takao.” Roka replied earnestly. It had been a long time since she played another game made by Takao.
“Well, it’s idea came from my junior and another one working really hard making this…” Takao’s smile became that of an embarrassed one.
“Yeah… but it’s still a good game.”
Kouta could hear their conversation becoming relaxing, and he saw Chitose walk toward them. It looked like they would have their own conversation as seniors. He put down the video camera.
And moved his view to another girl at the same year class as him. It was a different kind of scene… No, more likely they are enjoying something.
“Hm… I've never seen someone this good and he is actually doing his best with that kind uniform. I’m impressed.” Sakura said, pointing her phone toward Kouta and snapped at him many times.
On the other side, Inada while still in nosebleed did the same thing with Sakura and took several pictures of him. “Ugh… I’m never expected to be this good.” She said,
“Well, can’t you not take my picture without my permission?” Kouta asked
Sakura just shook her head from side to side. “Well, I don’t think there is a person who can hold the urge to take your picture…”
“Sorry, Kouta. My finger can’t stop…” Inada replied with an incredibly serious look on her face.
“Gezz, I don’t particularly care… as long as I get my own reward too… But this skirt feels really breezy. Huh…”
On hearing their answer, Kouta immediately responded while giving the skirt a shake.
“Guah… you know we can see you boxers, right?” Inada said as she once tried to hold back her nosebleed that had been happening for a long time.
Kouta couldn’t help worrying about her so he walked toward her and helped her wipe out nosebleed.
“Un… Thank you, Kouta.” Inada thanked him sincerely as she once again looked at Kouta’s outfit for a second there. “Yeah… this is such good stuff.”
“Oh, by the way, I hear that we need to wear some cosplay too, right?” Inada asked with a smile on her face just like always she did.
“Yeah, me and Prez. Promised to wear a maid costume.” Inada replied with a nod.
“Maid… huh… Can I wear something else?” Sakura asked with a face that said ‘this is interesting.’
“Well…”
“How about I wear a bloomer with cat ears…”
“Okay deal…”
Sakura told her what she would be wearing, without letting Kouta finish his word, but he immediately agreed after he heard with the kind of cosplay he would see from Sakura
“Hahaha… You’re really honest with your feelings. I like it.” Sakura said it while she checked Kouta’s face and laughed heartily.
“Well, it’s because… you gave me such a good reply. I wonder if you are a genius one.”
“Ahahaha… Well, to be honest… I’m a genius. Anyway, it looks like we will become one club. So… I’m happy to join…”
“Ah… thanks.” Kouta responded as Sakura gave her hand and they shook their hands.
“Okay then… Well, anyway… Just like our Prez promised she would treat us if we won the match! We’re going to celebrate!” Kouta said it to everyone in the club.
“””Ooooo.”””
“Wait… I said it just for Inada and Kouta…” Takao replied with a surprised tone.
“Eh… Are you ignoring your new club members… Takao…” Chitose said with a teasing tone.
“Uuuu… Gezz… Fine… We’re going to celebrate. I’m just treating free drinks! you…Hiks, my monthly allowance…” Takao said with a defeated face.
“”“Yes…”””
And so the new GCC went to the nearest family restaurant. Following her promise, Takao treats them to a drink bar or all-you-can-drink. While of course, they ordered other snacks and food too. And they had a fun time together.
These days have been packed with many events. Kouta left the family restaurant as he wanted to be alone and take in some fresh air. That’s what he wanted. But he never expected, there would be someone following him going outside.
“Really… That’s too bad you didn’t wear those uniforms…since it actually really suits you well. I didn't understand at first, but after I saw that… I think I understand what Inada feels.” Takao said with a soothing voice, while looking at her phone with Kouta’s crossdressing on her phone.
“Oh… So you understand to see you in maid uniform too…” Kouta responded with a teasing tone.
“What… that’s… Really, you’re too upfront about it… Huhu…” Takao's face blushed when heard what Kouta said, but she couldn’t help but laugh when she thought about it. Since what he said was true after all.
Yeah, seeing Kouta’s crossdressing woke something inside her, and she understood why Kouta wanted to see her in a maid uniform. But she couldn’t help how perverted Kouta was… She felt a bit disappointed that he wanted to see her in that kind of attire, but at the same time, it made her feel happy that he wanted to see her like that. It was a complicated feeling, but she couldn’t help herself.
‘Ah… so he found me attractive.’ She couldn’t help but feel happy about it.
“I can’t wait to see you on those. Ah… how about we go to a cosplay store after this?” Kouta casually replied.
“What… really… Well, I’m fine.” Takao sighed deeply, but she agreed with him. Since this was their promise to him after all and she had a fun time too.
“Good…” Kouta smiled at Takao.
“Ugh…” Takao couldn’t help herself, that sometimes Kouta’s smile was like an angel. Or just her bias… She didn’t know. She was never really close with boys until now and Kouta may be the first boy that made this new feeling grow in her.
Especially since she felt a bit grateful to him. Since he made her make up with Roka.
“Hu….” After she breathed deeply, she looked around to see if there were people around them. Before she stared at Kouta and said to him, “Really, thanks to you I made up with Roka… Erm… I will return the favor someday.”
