"Of course! This is the guidance of destiny!" Rikka Takanashi leaned forward, hands on the desk, her eyes fixed on Nibutani Shinka's, as if to make her submit with her gaze. She continuously chanted a spell in her heart, as if she had truly cast magic.
In her opinion, only true companions would join the Far East Magic Society; no one else, no matter what, could join in the end.
This was destiny's choice.
"That's great, please let me join." Nibutani Shinka suppressed the urge to rub the goosebumps on her arms, gently clapped her hands together, feigning an expression of anticipation.
"! Really? From the bottom of your heart and guided by destiny, stare~" Dekimori Sanae stared at Nibutani Shinka, as if trying to see through her.
"Re-really?" Nibutani Shinka's mouth twitched slightly. How could it be! How could I genuinely join a chuunibyou club! What a joke!
Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at the 'book' already clutched in Dekimori Sanae's arms. Once I secretly get that notebook, I'll quit!
"Really? Could it really be a companion?" Tomioka Yuuta was shocked. To others, they were undoubtedly chuunibyou, and normally, people would steer clear of them.
Aside from true chuunibyou, only those true, as-yet-unmet companions would join.
Since Wicked Lord Shingan said that destiny would surely guide them to meet, he naturally believed it immensely.
Nibutani Shinka's smile was strained, and she roared internally, 'No way! Who are your companions?! I'm not chuunibyou, absolutely not! Absolutely, absolutely not!'
"Oh yeah! That's great!" Rikka Takanashi and Dekimori Sanae jumped up and high-fived each other: "We've gathered a fated companion!"
"It looks like we'll soon be able to gather the other companions!"
Their voices woke up the senior who was sleeping soundly nearby.
"Ah~ That was a good nap, so comfortable~ How strange, this time I dreamt I became a magical girl fighting bad guys, even though I wanted to dream of a great grassland." Kumin Tsuyuri stretched and yawned.
"Uh— I'm sorry we woke you up." Tomioka Yuuta quickly said.
"It's fine— I thought someone came to join my club." Kumin Tsuyuri blinked.
"Nap Club— no one would probably be interested in a club dedicated to napping—" Nibutani Shinka looked over and realized it was actually the "Cow Nap Club," and she commented, embarrassed.
She thought having a "chuunibyou club" was already unexpected, but she didn't expect there to be an even greater master— there's a famous saying in China, where there's Wolong, there must be Fengchu, and it's really true.
Kumin Tsuyuri sighed in disappointment: "Not interested? Everyone says that. I wanted to form a club last year, but unfortunately no one was interested. It seems I won't be able to form a club this year either."
"Sleeping is really interesting, though."
At this point, Kumin Tsuyuri raised a finger like a professional master.
"You need different pillows for different times and places to improve sleep quality, and you also need to pay attention to the climate."
"Only high-quality sleep can lead to the dreams you want."
Dekimori Sanae was puzzled: "? Can you really dream what you want to dream? Isn't that magic? Does that mean Senior also knows magic?"
Kumin Tsuyuri took a new pillow from under her desk, rested her head on it quietly, and closed her eyes again: "It's not wrong to call it magic. As long as you meet the preset sleep conditions, you can dream what you want to dream."
Rikka Takanashi's eyes sparkled: "What's your name?"
"My name is Kumin Tsuyuri."
"This is no coincidence! It must be destiny's arrangement that we met here. Join my club." Rikka Takanashi jumped in front of Kumin Tsuyuri.
"Eh?" Kumin Tsuyuri lazily stirred again and looked at the name of the club recruitment, blinking: "Far East Magic Society? Is it a club that studies magic? I'm clumsy with my hands and can't learn it, and all I like most is sleeping."
"It doesn't matter! If it's not destiny's choice, even if you join, you'll leave quickly." Rikka Takanashi said earnestly, crossing her arms.
"I see, then I'll join and see." Kumin Tsuyuri nodded.
"Yay! Five people! We can go apply to form a club!"
Rikka Takanashi hurriedly pulled Kumin Tsuyuri and Nibutani Shinka to the homeroom teacher's office.
Nanase Tsukumo looked at the application list in her hand, then at Rikka Takanashi and her club members.
"Exactly five people, so you can become a club. However, there are no empty classrooms in the teaching area, so you can only go to the old school building. You'll have to clean it yourselves."
"No problem." Rikka Takanashi patted her chest: "Evil King's True Eye fears nothing."
"That's right, Death!" Dekimori Sanae stood with her hands on her hips.
"However, hasn't Nibutani-san already applied to join the cheerleading club? To join two clubs simultaneously, you need to inform the cheerleading club, otherwise there will be time conflicts with club activities." Nanase Tsukumo suggested gently.
"I, I understand—" Nibutani Shinka felt as if the teacher's gaze was saying, 'So Nibutani-san is also chuunibyou, how strange.' She bit her lip in humiliation, her hands clenching unconsciously.
As long as I steal the notebook, I'll quit the club!
"Then that's fine, Far East Magic Society— hmm."
"Yay! Our protagonist group to save the world is officially established!" Rikka Takanashi shouted, raising her hand.
The five of them walked out of the teacher's office.
"The club has been established, so now we will report to Brother!"
"That's right! Death! Officially begin our great journey to conquer parallel worlds! Death!" Dekimori Sanae echoed.
*Slap!* Nibutani Shinka slapped her forehead with her palm, her toes constantly digging into the soles of her shoes. She couldn't take it, she couldn't take it. Her eyes darted around, afraid that newly acquainted classmates would see this scene.
"Brother! Are we going now?" Tomioka Yuuta trembled, his eyes wide, his heart pounding frantically, and he swallowed. The supreme God! Are we meeting him now?
"Brother? Is that Wicked Lord Shingan's Brother?" Kumin Tsuyuri blinked, confused.
"Hmph hmph~ Of course not, Death, it's the supreme God!" Dekimori Sanae stood with her hands on her hips.
"God— what kind of setting is this now—" Nibutani Shinka muttered to herself.
Soon, Rikka Takanashi led them to the door of the principal's office.
"Eh? The, the principal's office?" Tomioka Yuuta was shocked.
"W-wait a minute!" Nibutani Shinka was also startled.
For them, let alone the principal, even the head of student affairs was a terrifyingly important figure.
Rikka Takanashi clicked open the principal's office door. The sound of the door opening made both Tomioka Yuuta and Nibutani Shinka tense up.
*Creak*— The slowly opening door, in the eyes of Tomioka Yuuta and Nibutani, seemed like the gate of hell slowly opening, and cold sweat increased with the widening of the door.
