When I arrived at their clubroom and after Saki took her chance at the door, their whole group was already about to leave.

Nami and Shizu were also here. Nami told me that shed wait here and were going to walk with them to their bus stop. However, for our plan today, shes not going to ride the bus with them. Were going to wait for the next one after they leave or if not the next, at least a different bus than them.

Shizu, on the other hand, told me not to pick her up at the Student Council since shes going straight here as soon as shes done reporting to Hayashi-sensei.

Alright. Hes here. Lets go. Shizu announced as she stood up from her seat as soon as I appeared from the door.

Hina then soon followed, dragging Kikuchi with her. When our gazes met, the girl had a subtle smile on her lips directed to me. If I had to guess, shes aware that today... I will be going with Nami.

And after that, Nami grabbed my arm, confidently showcasing our relationship to everyone, pulling off the bud that was probably growing in the coward Ogawas heart.

With Shizu taking the helm to get them all back together, I clearly noticed how the atmosphere in this room wasnt as restrained as before, even with my arrival.

Well, it might be because theyre afraid of Shizu but at least, no ones barking and no ones glaring at me anymore.

As for Izumi and Arisa-senpai, theyre here and... just looking at how the former couldnt look at me and the latter had a guilty but determined expression on her face, my guess that they decided to keep their distance from me was somehow proven.

To not make it awkward for them, my eyes didnt linger on their side. I just focused on Nami at the moment while also checking out Saki, Shizu and Hina.

None of my girls told me that Arisa-senpai approached them. Either shes not planning to convince them today or she just didnt want to do it anymore.

In any case, thats probably good for them... Rather than be entangled with me, they should just stay away...

Although I felt really bad that its what they decided, I made sure to control my expression and not let the same thing as earlier happen.

Its enough that Misaki caught me with that kind of expression and she managed to cheer me up.

Its Namis time so... I adjusted my mindset to focus on her.

A few minutes later, the group, with Shizu at the lead, arrived at the bus stop.

Nami and I intentionally slowed down our steps which put us at the back.

Once the bus arrived, Shizu led everyone inside again and when our turn came, Nami put on a shocked expression as she acted as if shes rummaging through the contents of her bag.

And with a surprised expression, she raised her head, M-my PE uniform. I... I forgot it in the classroom!

Huh? Forget it. It will not disappear there. Or let Onoda-kun take it home for you. Kikuchi suggested, clueless that its just an excuse.

She passed that uniform to me earlier.

Hmm? What do you think, Nami? I can do that for you. Go up now, this bus is about to leave. I rode with what Kikuchi said and asked Nami.

Truthfully, acting like this was somewhat meaningless. We could straightforwardly say the truth that we wanted to go home together and stomp away any probable issues.

However, her concern over that coward was still existing. She believed that Ogawa would run out of the bus to prevent us from being alone together. And that would result in his mind breaking once more.

By making an excuse like this, his time would run out before he caught on our act.

In the end, Nami turned soft compared to the early days where she managed to hatch that plan of cornering that coward to force a confession out of him.

This is the last time, Ruu. I wont be this concerned over his feelings next time.

Instead of answering my question, Namis whispering voice reached my ears. She had a meaningful smile on her lips as her eyes scanned me

Hmm? I didnt say anything.

Im standing next to you. Who do you think I am? Im your Observer comrade. I can easily read my boyfriends expression even if you restrain it to the limit. You cant hide the thoughts running in your mind with me. Nami grabbed my hand and squeezed my palm as she flashed a rather smug expression followed by an alluring wink.

This girl... Her observer skill improved, huh? On the other hand, I seem to have been suffering difficulty containing my emotions in my mind. These past few days, getting caught by them was becoming a regular occurrence. Hell, even Misaki could catch it and we only coincidently ran into each other earlier.

Alright, you win. Im slightly jealous that hes still being favored by you. But then again, its my fault why he became like that.

Jealous or not, I surely find it somewhat irritating that shes still paying attention to him. Im aware that this is my possessiveness acting up so as much as possible, I dont want to voice it out.

I better just chant in my head to calm my thoughts down.

Not only your fault, idiot Ruu. Anyway, times up...

After reprimanding me, she then pointed at the bus or specifically at the doors that just closed.

Times up. She never answered my question and those waiting for her to climb the bus were left hanging.

I messed up... Im going to pick it up with this guy. Take care guys. Hell walk me home so dont worry! Nami waved at them while sporting a very satisfied grin as we watched the bus speed up, disappearing from our sight.

And like we both expected, I saw Ogawa attempting to stand up from where he was sitting to jump out of the bus. Tadano and the silent guy restrained him as they both shook their heads at him, most likely telling him that its hopeless for him.

Apart from Ogawa, my three girls, even if theyre aware of our plans, pouted their lips, probably hoping that theyre the ones next to me instead of Nami.

Well, I could plan for that in the future. As long as its feasible, I wouldnt hesitate to walk them home. On the way, we could treat that as a short date...

And thats what I planned to do with Nami today.

Lets not take the bus here. Why dont we walk until that bus stop near the shopping district? I clasped her hand and pulled her close as I began walking in that direction.

Ruu... Im about to suggest that. How dare you beat me to it? With her puffed cheeks, Nami acted upset.

Watching that adorable act of hers, I naturally played along, I grinned and clicked my tongue playfully. Too bad, my Nami is slow on the uptake. Lets eat something energizing... Im somewhat drained.

Uh... I suggested that on the spot but... I truly need something to energize me if we're going to do it tonight...

Nami covered her mouth and widened her radiant eyes. ... This pervert. You probably did it with another girl after me.

Shes correct again.

Youre silent... Its true. You Ultimate Great Pervert!
