”Is that so”
I didn't know that at all Nozoized to Nozoy Club, senpai?” Haruta abruptly asked Koizuy Club?” Koizumi-san looked bewildered
”Wasn't the club president a third year student who changed schools before the summer holiday? Weren't there only three first years left over?”

”japan Students Science Awards Wherever it is, you can find a means of survival, huh” Haruta admired
I asked Koizumi-san, ”Then what about those five cultural clubs Haruta just mentioned?”
”Those are the clubs that haven't yet found a tournament in which they can officially participate in They are also troubled by the toothlessness of the clubon the brink of barely continuing That's why the presentations at the cultural festival this year are e've put effort into since the summer holiday There are even club members who compensated for club activity expenses with their part-tily frustrated, Koizu While the club roorave, Haruta opened hisletters and trying to suspend the cultural festival? In order to corner the five cultural clubs into beco abolished clubs”
”That's what I think at least If that's the case I won't forgive theainst you, right senpai?”
”I wouldn't know about it and the saic association The members of the other four club activities are plain, but they're all good people It's uniinable that they would make an enemy out of person”

”What was the reason for suspecting Nozo Club?” Haruta lowered his voice

”Awful Aren't you awful? Nozoht tofor the cultural festival to succeed She wanted to be of help and did a lot of effort without sleeping, but to do this, to do this is”
Nozorasped the cuff of aze and took a pamphlet in his hand ” It's certainly well ized, ”I' you”
Haruta rose up as if he had awakened fro on the floor Looking like he discovered soered out of the classroo that, I said, ”Nozomi, I'll leave the rest up to you,” and chased after Haruta
Haruta was in the innerainst ato cool his head
