Vol 1 Epilogue (1/2)
A few days after the match between the Moe Research Club and the Clotaku Club,
Today was the sa our free time after school in the little room within the school's infir whatever we could excuse as 'club activities'
But really, eren't doing any ether On the other side of the roo around and reading a light novel The nurse was playing visual novels on her computer, as usual-- maybe a week before, she was at least h to wear headphones, but now, her laziness surpassed that point and we had to endure every single indecent sound effect co from her computer
This place couldn't be any more nerdy
Having observed the two maintain the status quo of the club, I returned e this dreadful atress in this club by dropping her light novel and starting off with an 'Alright, let's do so!'
Whatever went on in Yeonji's head, she always had an explosion of terrifying creativity whenever she'd finish reading a light novel, which always led to suggestions for new club activities that were obviously going to end in tragedies
Thus the final sum of our 'club activities' boiled down to Yeonji thinking up crazy new ideas, andeach time
This isn't a healthy lifestyle
Anyway, as demonstrated by our continued club activities, it should be obvious that our match from several days back resulted in our victory
To tell the truth, it wasn't thanks to the 'ic answer'; in the finalthe 'Ssuro-Giganteni-Paraskulssu-- [][][]()()()', but instead 'Ssuro-Gigan the Last Vaaic answer for the rest of the game
I followed up with uments with Yerin, as then not in any shape to continue the gaa her team from the match
It was irl, especially
Well, I suppose Yeonji helped out by joining in the hounding, akin to a vulture swooping down on a corpse Her final blow to our debate hen she brought up that Yerin was a Clotaku, too, though limited to her own bedroom
As Yeonji had discovered, Yerin's blonde hair was due to a wig, and Sukyong-sunbae and her brother worked six days a week These two facts, together, somehow meant that Sunday was left free for Yerin to drop her ladylike act, thus exposing her 'normal' self
Which was completely nuts, even for Yeonji, so I beca mansion last Sunday
Yerin became completely broken after the match, since all of her deepest secrets were exposed, and we had shown her horong her beliefs were She was bawling her heart out and she even forgot toher until she'd stop crying
Even Sukyong-sunbae gave a condescending look that read 'I told you to win the match, not to completely crush her'
In summary, Yerin lost the will to continue the match after our debate, and so ere able to keep our club alive
After thather attitude, as mentioned by the nurse as an off-handed re, and no one was able to recognize her Huh
Yerin's regular harassment of her classer the Pubtaku Queen With that taken care of, the principal was crying tears of joy for having narrowly dodged the wrath of Eunsung
There was a good ending for everyone
Changing the topic-- after our ive h: I risked being e what I did back then, so it was natural that I received praise from her It was my plan to folloith a de ht uard
”But seriously, I was so surprised when you gave your speech!”
”Surprised? Why? Back in that debate, weren't you constantly looking atthat I stepped in?”
”Nyuu--gh” Yeonji groaned, her face reddening She violently threw her arms around in front of her, as if that would hide her red face She sta that! Don't be stupid! Who'd look at you? How disgusting! Weren't you the one as too busy looking at me to think about the match?”
”What kind of nonsense is that?!”
As expected of Seo Yeonji, she was beyond the concept ofeverything on
She did not see the hed, which was obviously faked, and continued, ”Aheood deeds must be rewarded, even if it's by an idiot who doesn't have anything better to do than stare at the club president”
”Were you trying to praise me, or make fun of me?”
And if you want to reward ible! After all the lunches and snacks you ripped off of me, you expect some words to make up for it? Dream on, Yeonji
”I was especially amazed how you used the story I told you yesterday, as if you were the one rote it! I couldn't believe it was soht up Your act was perfect! Ten out of ten!”
The strangeness of her words struckvarious insults to say to Yeonji Wait what did she just say?
”As if I were the one rote it?”
”Yeah!” Yeonji grinned widely and nodded, ”I almost believed that you'd been bullied before! Maybe it's because of the way you look? No one would believe me if I had said that story instead You find your way to make yourself useful in unexpected situations, you know that?”
”No, no, no, no, no Wait, just hold on for aincoherently to myself
There was probably so that-- what did she just say? She was talking about ht Yeonji was pressuring ht I was acting? That it seemed real? What?
”Okay, uh Let , just in case”
”Hmm? What?”
”That post you told me about yesterday Do you knorote it?”
”Nah”
”No?!”
You didn't know?!
Blood rushed to my head and my neck stiffened Yeonji looked at me curiously, as if I were the odd one in this conversation
”I'm not a reaper from Death N! How am I supposed to tell rote what on the Internet? And the post got deleted too quickly, I never had the chance to check his IP I only had enough time to save the content”
Yeonji cursed under her breath as she audibly regretted that she never had the chance to track the writer down Was she saying that she wanted to track me doith my IP alone?! Such hellish words did not fit her cute face
”Aw, really”
Life fled froh, while it turned out that the e show I've put on yesterday was entirely my fault, I was relieved that Yeonji was still in the dark about ic past
” was gonnakeep itmy own”
”What?”
”Nothing” Yeonji replied back in whispers I thought I had heard her gru quietly That's not polite, Yeonji
”Nyuu-n” She groaned And, a htly, ”Wait, I al, too!”
”Wha-?!”
Out of instinct,an evil grin Yeonji quickly paced forward toat me rudely
”Back when the blonde idiot aic answer? Do you realize how difficult it was for me?!”
”I, uh”
Yeonji's pointed finger repeatedly prodded h the shi+rt
”W-wait, if you're talking about that, uh, it's that, just, I thought we shouldn't stop at ending Yerin's club, but go further and stop her fro the Pubtaku Queen entirely! Wasn't that the reason you increased the time limit in the first place? No?”
”What the hell are you talking about?” She crushed le reply, ”I increased the tiue with her, but I never told you to waste a great opportunity to win! We're lucky that she quit the game on her own, 'cause ould have died to thatof capital punishment!”
”Sure”
It seeood deeds must be rewarded with simple praises, while crimes should be punished with immediate execution I should really be thankful that she didn't write our laws
I didher that we'd won regardless, but changing her mind was fruitless as usual She hassled le moment to demand that I buy snacks for her at every turn By the tie our phone numbers, likely to bother me further
I still get chills froot my number
In the end, after everything that had happened to us, ere able to continue our daily lives at the Clotaku Club
Except for one thing
”Alright, now”
Yeonji closed her light novel with a loud clap She began to aardly wriggle away fro a cat that got stuck in a et the mouse out
”We'll start by discussing our club activities for today,” spoke Yeonji, bearing a displeased look
That was new
She sounded as if ays start our day in the club with discussions, but we had never done that before I was quiet about it, however, since this seeerous moment to raise objections
”Our topic of discussion today is--”
