Chapter 595: The Tachibana Sisters, Aunt Kyoka; A Few Club Matters
"Since it's from Hikari-kun… I've been carrying it with me all the time," Yoshida Saki said, her pretty face faintly flushed.
Looking at the Clear Mind charm that still clearly retained the girl's warmth, Hikari nodded in reassurance, "Mm, that's good. See you later."
"See you!"
Watching Hikari's departing figure, Yoshida Saki's eyes still held a trace of reluctance.
———
After parting with her, Hikari began making rounds through several clubs he had joined before.
Previously, in order to hunt minotaurs, he had signed up for quite a few clubs.
But he hadn't been very active in most of them.
After all, time was limited.
Just focusing on hunting the minotaurs he had already identified had taken up a considerable amount of time.
On top of that, the heroines he had saved also required follow-up care.
As a result, the frequency of his hunts had slowed somewhat.
However, after the visit to the Munakata residence, where he learned about the existence of a passage to another world, and even the possibility of an invasion from that world, Hikari felt a sense of urgency.
He needed to step up his game in hunting minotaurs, whether to complete the mission of controlling the otherworld passage or simply to grow stronger.
So before heading home today, he planned to explore more clubs and see if there were any potential targets left.
After making the rounds, he did indeed spot several potential minotaurs, and heroines.
Without drawing attention, he quietly noted them down.
"Soccer club… girls' tennis club… girls' volleyball club…"
"Kitamura Kaori… Tsukimi Chifuyu… Narahashi Miki…"
For these heroines who might trigger minotaur scenarios, Hikari silently attached a "pure love warning paper crane" to each of them.
After visiting several clubs in succession, he noticed two familiar figures.
He immediately walked over and greeted them.
"Akane, Yui-chan, what are you two doing here?"
On a bench by the garden path sat two strikingly beautiful girls.
One looked pure and cute, with a high ponytail.
The other had shoulder-length pink hair and a voluptuous figure.
They were none other than Nanao Akane and her close friend, Tachibana Yui.
"Eh? Hikari-kun?"
Seeing him appear out of nowhere, both girls lit up with surprise.
Nanao Akane quickly stood up and enthusiastically pulled him down to sit with them.
Seeing such a well-endowed beauty acting so warmly toward him, some nearby boys couldn't help but feel something poke at their heart.
Once he sat down, Tachibana Yui quietly reached out and wrapped her arm around his.
With two beauties of entirely different charms pressing in on him from either side, passing boys didn't dare linger. They hurried off, afraid they'd die of PDA if they kept watching.
Ignoring the envious looks around them, Hikari felt the soft pressure from both sides and asked curiously, "Akane, Yui-chan, what are you doing here?"
Hearing his question, Nanao Akane smiled and explained, "We used to be managers for the baseball club, so after classes we'd go handle club stuff."
"But since we quit the baseball club, we suddenly don't know what to do after school anymore. So Yui-chan and I just sat here to pass the time."
Tachibana Yui nodded, "Mm. Just sitting and chatting with Akane feels nice. If Hikari-kun were here too… it'd be even better."
"I see," Hikari nodded in understanding.
They weren't exactly the stay-at-home type, but they hadn't been part of the go-home club either.
Suddenly having no club to go to, it made sense they'd feel out of place.
At that point, Nanao Akane suddenly smiled, "Hey, how about we start a club ourselves?"
"That way we won't be bored after school, and we can hang out together under the name of club activities."
"Me, Hikari-kun, Yui-chan, Natsuha. And then those three gyarus you're close with, what were their names again? Ruri and Reina, right? Oh, and the archery club sisters, the Sakuramiya senpai twins, Amakawa Kanade from the film club, and that library manager Serizawa Yukiha…"
Nanao Akane rattled off a list of girls connected to Hikari as if reciting treasured knowledge.
Hearing all those names, Tachibana Yui couldn't help widening her eyes.
"Wow… Hikari-kun knows that many girls? And Akane, you even know all of them, so impressive!", she said in surprise.
Akane smiled smugly, "Of course. After all, I'm planning to throw a pa—Cough! Cough!—Have a deep exchange with Hikari-kun and all the girls he's been with."
"So it's important to learn more beforehand."
Seeing the slightly lewd smile on her face, Hikari knew exactly what she meant by "exchange."
This girl just loved watching him and Natsuha, or Ruri and the others get together.
While they were passionately engaged, she'd be watching, both excited and overwhelmed to the point of tears.
'That kind of self-cuckolding tendency is really...', Hikari shook his head helplessly.
"Hikari-kun, let's start a club together, okay? Please~", Akane clung to his arm and shook it, her voice soft and sweet in a coaxing tone.
"If there's time, sure," Seeing her act like that, he couldn't really refuse.
He more or less understood her real intention behind forming a club consisting only of him and the girls he knew.
But even if it was established, it didn't mean they'd be gathering for parties every day.
He could guide things in a more… righteous direction. Like encourage them to help other heroines and fight against minotaurs, turning it into a "pure love club."
After all, saving ninety-nine heroines and hunting nine hundred ninety-nine minotaurs wasn't something that could be done overnight.
So making proper use of others' help was necessary.
Akane, of course, had no idea what he was thinking.
But the moment she heard him agree, her eyes lit up.
"Hehe! Yui-chan, I told you Hikari-kun would say yes!"
"We've got a club again now, we won't be bored anymore!"
Seeing how happy she was, Tachibana Yui sighed lightly, "Mm-hmm, that's nice."
"But to start a club, we need enough members, and teacher approval, right?"
Hearing that, Akane waved it off with a smile, "That's no problem. Hikari-kun has a great relationship with several teachers. Quite a few beautiful female teachers even let him take shortcuts. Right, Hikari-kun?"
Turning his head, Hikari saw Akane giving him a mischievous wink.
A bit speechless, but noticing the curious look Yui was giving him, he nodded.
"Yeah, I'm on pretty good terms with a few teachers. Setting up a club shouldn't be too difficult."
"Hehe! I knew Hikari-kun is the best," Akane said as she hugged him tightly, her ample chest pressing flat against his arm.
Then she added excitedly, "Hikari-kun, Yui-chan, how about we go handle the club registration right now?"
Before he could respond, Yui shook her head, "Not today. I have to head home soon, I've got something to take care of."
"Eh? What is it?", Akane asked curiously.
"My mom just messaged me. Some relatives are coming over, so I need to get back early."
"Relatives? I don't think you've ever mentioned them before," Akane said.
Yui explained, "They're somewhat distant relatives. We haven't been in touch for a long time."
"But when I was little, I used to play with their daughters a lot."
"It's the Yuka and Koharu sisters I mentioned before. Oh, and Aunt Tachibana Kyoka too." [T/N: I was thinking why they aren't in the plot yet.]
"Oh right, I think there was a time they came over when you happened to be at my place, Akane. You've seen them, right?"
Akane thought for a few seconds, then her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ah! Aunt Tachibana Kyoka and them?"
"I remember now, Aunt Kyoka is a total beauty!"
She nodded repeatedly as the memory clicked.
"Mm, that's them," Yui confirmed.
"Tachibana Kyoka?", Hikari suddenly interjected, raising an eyebrow in thought.
"What, do you know Aunt Kyoka too?", Yui asked curiously.
"Yeah, Hikari-kun, do you know her? She's really pretty," Akane added.
Hikari shook his head with a smile, "No, the name just sounded familiar."
"I see," The two girls nodded.
Yui continued, "Anyway, I really don't have much time today."
"If we're going to start a club or do anything, it'll have to be another day."
"Alright, alright," Akane said with a resigned wave.
Not wanting to dampen her mood, Yui smiled and took her hand, "Aunt Kyoka and the others are coming over this time because of work, they might move to somewhere near our place."
"When that happens, I might get to see Yuka and Koharu more often. I can introduce them to you both, they're really nice people!"
Listening to that, Akane, who had seemed a bit uninterested, suddenly appeared to think of something.
Her crimson eyes lit up, and she said with sudden excitement, "Sounds great! Then when the time comes, Hikari-kun and I will come visit your house, Yui-chan, you can introduce us."
"Let me and Hikari-kun meet your Tachibana family sisters properly."
"Yuka and Koharu must be really beautiful now, right?"
"And it'd be nice to see Aunt Kyoka too."
"I wonder if she's still as gorgeous as before… probably even more mature and charming now~"
Akane spoke with clear excitement.
"Mm, okay," Yui smiled and nodded, not noticing anything off about her reaction.
But Hikari, sitting beside them, faintly felt that Akane's sudden excitement was a bit unusual and glanced at her.
Sensing his gaze, Akane immediately gave him a cheerful grin, revealing two small, cute canine teeth.
Seeing her innocent and adorable expression, and with Yui present, Hikari didn't press further.
After chatting a bit more, Akane said she would accompany Yui home first, and the three parted ways.
After separating from them, Hikari went on to attend a few more club activities.
