Miu was quite nervous since she didn't expect that the situation would turn into this!
However, Miu had to admit that the confrontation between Shishio and Kiriya was very interesting since they weren't fighting each other by using their fists, but using their wits. They also had quite a fair duel with her and Nana as their witnesses so even though she didn't want both Shishio and Kiriya to bet on each other, she wanted to know the reason why Kiriya's presence in this room was weird.
Nana was waiting for Shishio's answer with anticipation and thought that a literature club was very interesting, but she knew that the one who made it interesting was Shishio, so if he decided to join, then she would join, but if he decided to not join, then she would also follow him too since she knew that as long as she was with him, her days would be full of fun!
"Then let me tell you the first reason why Kiriya-sensei's presence in this room is weird." Shishio raised his index finger and said calmly, "The first reason is Kiriya-sensei's status as the advisor teacher is weird."
"Huh?" Nana was confused and asked, "What's so weird about that? Is it normal for an advisor teacher to be in the clubroom?"
'Normal?'
Miu thought for a while and realized something. "Ah!"
"What's wrong, Senpai?" Nana was startled when Miu suddenly exclaimed.
"Ugh... I know... why Kiriya-sensei's presence in this room is weird." Miu looked at Shishio and said, "It's because this club isn't an official club, right?"
Shishio nodded and said, "Yes, it is because the literature club isn't an official club so there's no need for an advisor teacher to be here since an advisor teacher's job is to supervise the activity of the club, not to solicit a student to join the club." He looked at Kiriya and apologized. "Sorry, if my words are a bit rude, Sensei."
Waving his hand, Kiriya said, "It's alright, but if this is your answer, then it won't even satisfy me, no, you won't be able to satisfy all of us here."
"....."
Shishio knew what Kiriya meant, but why were Kiriya's words so misleading? He didn't think too much and said calmly, "Of course, it isn't over yet Sensei." He set his thoughts and continued with his explanation.
"As a member of the literature club, it should be Ashihara-senpai's job to invite a new student and not a teacher since it isn't their obligation to do so or rather a normal teacher will think that it is very troublesome to become an advisor teacher and even invite a student to join the club since as an adult, they have their own lives, but of course, Ashihara-senpai has done a good job for inviting me since because of that she also has indirectly invited Nana here."
Hearing Shishio's words, Miu, who was a bit down since she knew that she was a bit incompetent since she couldn't invite a new member of the literature club, suddenly became shy and happy. She thought that it was her luck to meet Shishio at that time and if she didn't meet him, then she might not be able to have this kind of fun talk in the clubroom.
But Nana was blushing, wondering why Shishio's words were so misleading as if telling them that the reason why she came to the literature club was that she thought of Miu as a threat, but that wasn't wrong since that was the reason why she came here. She looked at Shishio and wondered whether this guy realized that she was interested in him!
If so, then she would be very embarrassed!
'But...'
Nana thought that it might be her imagination and didn't think too much since she didn't hate the idea of dating him at all, or rather she might really love it.
"Then what is the reason why Kiriya-sensei decided to help?" Shishio raised a question to everyone in the clubroom.
Hearing those words, Nana and Miu looked at Shishio without blinking.
"The first reason is that both Kiriya-sensei and Ashihara-senpai should be lovers."
Shishio dropped the bomb directly.
"WHAT?!"
Miu and Nana were dumbfounded, and quickly Nana looked at Miu and Kiriya with an incredulous expression since she didn't expect that this shy senior would date the teacher.
Miu was startled, but she refuted Shishio's words. "Of course not! I am not dating Sensei!"
Miu said loudly since she was afraid of being misunderstood by someone. She then glanced at Shishio and Kiriya, hoping that the misunderstanding would be solved as soon as possible.
Watching Miu's reaction, Shishio knew that Miu might have a feeling for Kiriya before, but well, he didn't think too much or rather it was better like that since it was more fun to conquer her...
'What the fuck am I thinking?!'
Shishio was dumbfounded when he could think such a scum-like thought, but he quickly regained his focus since it wasn't the time to think something like that.
"Senpai, you don't need to deny it so hard, I know that both of you are not dating, and if you deny it so hard, it is too pitiful for Sensei," Shishio said with a light smile.
Kiriya twitched his lips and asked, "Did you do it on purpose, Oga-kun?"
"Of course not, Sensei." Shishio shook his head and said, "But it is also part of my deduction as to why you have decided to help Ashihara-senpai, but I know that both of you don't have that kind of relationship."
Nana sighed and felt disappointed to know that Miu and Kiriya weren't dating each other. She curled her lips and thought that it wasn't fun.
"How can you be so sure? Both of us might date secretly after all," Kiriya said with a smile, trying to test Shishio.
"What?!" 2x
Nana and Miu were dumbfounded once again.
"Alright, you don't need to tease everyone, Sensei. I know that you're not dating Ashihara-senpai," Shishio said calmly.
"You didn't answer my question, though," Kiriya said.
"It's your eyes," Shishio said.
"His eyes?" 2x
Miu and Nana looked at Kiriya's eyes and didn't see anything wrong with it.
"I have also fallen in love with someone before."
Shishio's words caused the clubroom to turn silent.
"I know very well how the eyes of someone who is looking at the woman they love and your eyes aren't like that," Shishio said.
"....."
They were in silence until...
"Who did you love before, Shishio?" Nana suddenly asked quickly when she heard Shishio's words before, she felt very uncomfortable.
Miu didn't say much but also looked at Shishio.
Kiriya looked at the reaction of Miu and Nana, and thought that this had become very interesting and he thought that he should make the three of them became a member of the literature club no matter what!
"Does it really matter?" Shishio was speechless.
"Of course, I want to know who your first love is!" Nana said without hesitation.
"Cough! Cough!" Shishio coughed and said, "It isn't a time to talk about that since we have something more important to do, right?" He looked at Kiriya, asking for help.
"Yes, you need to tell me why you think that I am a writer," Kiriya said with a smile.
"Yes, and that reason is related to why Kiriya-sensei decides to help Ashihara-senpai to invite both of us into a literature club." Shishio then looked at everyone calmly and said, "Since both Ashihara-senpai and Kiriya-sensei are not lovers, then the reason why Kiriya-sensei decides to keep the literature club is that he has something that he wants to do in this club."
"What is that something?" Nana asked.
"I am not sure," Shishio said while shaking his head.
"Huh?" 2x
Miu and Nana were dumbfounded.
"Then how can you be so sure that Kiriya-sensei is a writer?" Miu asked.
"It's his hand," Shishio said.
"Hand?" 2x
Miu and Nana looked at Kiriya's hand and saw that there was a trace of ink in his hand.
"There is a trace of ink in his hand and probably last night he was on deadline so he might not have a good sleep, especially when there is a black circle on your eyes, Sensei." Shishio looked at Kiriya and said, "With your identity as a writer, then I am not surprised why you want to keep this club."
"....."
Nana and Nana were speechless since they didn't realize that there was a trace of ink on Kiriya's hand, but they also knew that it was because that it made him able to say that Kiriya-sensei was a writer, and without it, there was no way to tell that he was a writer, but then, why?
Why with only those reasons was Shishio sure that Kiriaya was a writer?
It was because the board on the school was using chalk and every teacher in the school would use their laptop or computer to write the materials for the school.
On the other hand, a writer in this country had a weird habit where they wrote their manuscript on paper and a pen. Even though most writers in the world would use either a computer or a laptop, the writer in this country loved to use paper and pen to write their manuscripts which were part of the culture in this country.
It was also the reason why Shishio thought of Kiriya as a writer since to this day, it was very rare for someone to use both a pen and a paper, except for a writer.
Kiriya chuckled and said, "Oga-kun, in fact, I am not satisfied with your reasoning since I can break your deduction by telling you that the stain of ink on my hand happens because of an accident and the black circles on my eyes are because of insomnia, but you're right, I am a writer so let's say our competition is a draw."
However, Shishio shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I lose then I lose Sensei. I am not a man who can't accept a defeat and I know that there are a lot of holes in my deductions so I will join the literature club." He had to admit that he was too eager for the competition and it was because of this that he had lost and his condition to win was to create a satisfying reason why he could tell why Kiriya-sensei was a writer, but his answer was unable to satisfy Kiriya-sensei, so he lost.
Shishio wasn't someone who couldn't accept a loss and if he lost then he was going to accept it like a man, but still, it seemed that his deduction skill was still far behind a kid with a red tie, a blue suit, and glasses.
"Nana, how about you?" Even though Nana came with him, it didn't mean that he could decide everything for her and he needed to ask her opinion.
"I will join!" Nana said without hesitation with a smile since she loved it when he asked her about her thoughts, after all, even though she would join without hesitation since if he decided to join, it would be different if he didn't ask her opinion and told Kiriya-sensei and Miu that she would join with him directly since it meant, he didn't respect her opinion, but it was different now and she knew that he respected her choice after those words.
Shishio then looked at Kiriya and said, "So I only need to invite three more people, right, Sensei?"
Kiriya chuckled once again and said, "You're so sneaky, Oga-kun, but I don't mind and that's right, you only need to invite three more people."
Kiriya had never said that Shishio should join the club during their bet before and only told him to invite five people to join the club, with both Shishio and Nana joining together, then Shishio only needed to invite three more people which was why Kiriya said that Shishio was sneaky.
Then Nana and Shishio wrote the form of registrations without hesitation and gave it to Kiriya.
"I accept your form of registration," Kiriya said with a smile.
Miu was very happy since she didn't expect that there would be two people who would join the literature club.
"Right, I almost forgot to say this." Kiriya looked at Shishio and Nana with a warm smile and said, "Welcome to literature club."
