"Good morning."
Aoi yawn as she enter the room that's used by the Art Club.
"Hm?"
She open an eye when she didn't heard a response and found the room empty.
'They're not here… Guess I was too early.'
She let out another yawn and rub her eyes before putting her bag on the table beside the door where they put their bags.
"I'm sleepy…"
She mutter under her breath while staggering a little.
She shake her head vigorously and slap her cheeks quite hard causing her to let out a quiet wince before standing up and went to the shelves beside the window.
"I'm a little hungry because I couldn't eat breakfast because I was in a hurry."
Aoi said before putting a piece of of chocolate cookie that she got from a jar into her mouth before
returning the jar back to the top shelf.
'Ah, how delicious! As expected from Kiara!'
A delighted expression plaster on her face as she eat the cookie while searching the shelves for something else.
"Good morning."
Kiara greet with a yawn leaving her lips before closing the door behind her.
Aoi close the shelf after she got a book from it before turning to the door to greet Kiara who just enter the room.
"Good morning, Kiara-san."
Aoi greet with a smile before taking her shoes off and sit on the sofa with her slightly raised legs and the book on
her lap with a mechanical pencil on her hand.
"You're early."
Kiara said.
"Mh-hm, I was in a hurry to come here."
Aoi respond as she starts sketching.
"Is it because you finally have an idea on how to continue that manga of yours?"
Aoi didn't said anything and only smile, not stopping nor look away from her work.
Kiara chuckle lightly before walking toward her.
"So which idea are you drawing?"
Kiara said as she also took one book from the shelf where Aoi got her book before sitting beside her.
"The idea which the girl had sneak out of her house to have a date with the boy."
Aoi respond, still drawing.
"And what will happen then?"
She look up from her work and raise a brow at Kiara who also starts drawing.
"What will happen then after the date? Will they pick another place for their date again? Or became lovers? Or…"
Kiara look at Aoi who look at her confusedly.
"Or?"
The blonde haired girl couldn't hold it anymore and burst into laughter causing her brown haired friend to be more
confused.
"Eh?"
Aoi tilt her head to the side, confuse why Kiara laugh all of sudden.
"N-No, n-never mind! P-Pretend it didn't happen, pretend I-I didn't ask you at all."
Kiara laugh harder as she hold her
stomach, still laughing.
"You're too innocent."
Aoi look at her with confuse written all over her face before deciding to ignore her and resume her drawing.
'Another weird normal with Kiara-san… I should get used to it.'
Aoi thought as she draw, ignoring Kiara who's trying to calm herself down.
"Hah… My stomach hurts."
Kiara chuckle as she succeed in calming herself down, still holding her stomach and a smile gracing her lips.
"By the way, Aoi. Did you print out some application forms for Nite and other students who will join?"
Aoi halt in her tracks and look at Kiara with a horrid-filled eyes.
"I-I f-f-forgot… I'm sorry!"
Aoi stutter and rose on her feet before bowing at Kiara who only heave out a heavy sigh.
'Maybe I shouldn't have laugh that hard… Because happiness is always followed by unfortunate things.'
"Luckily I printed some last night."
Aoi's eyes lit up at Kiara's words before following her to the quite massive table beside the door where they put
their bags.
"Here, give Nite a sheet later."
Aoi only nod her head as she check the application form.
"But why are there so many application forms? Do we need this many?"
Aoi ask, turning to Kiara who went back to drawing.
"Maybe, I'm not sure."
Kiara shrug and Aoi only hum before putting it on the top shelf before taking out
white boxes from her bag and Kiara was a little taken back at how many white boxes she took out.
"What's that boxes for?"
Kiara raise a brow.
"From the new members, since Sensei said to expect some new members. So I prepare some welcome gifts for them, if we somehow have any new members."
Aoi smile.
"What's inside?"
Kiara ask and Aoi grab a box and give it to the blonde haired girl.
"Why don't you open it, Kiara-san?"
Kiara accepted it and look at Aoi who's putting the boxes in somewhere safe.
"My, how adorable."
Kiara said when she got a brown bear keychain that's holding a paint
brush.
"A bear, huh? How cute."
Aoi smile as she eye the keychain on Kiara's hands.
"Eh? You don't know what's inside? I thought this was the reason why you forgot to
print out some application form."
Kiara said, raising the bear keychain.
"No, it was Shion-san who pick the items inside the boxes. I let her do it since my
father tasked me with something else."
The brown haired girl shake her head with a smile plaster on her face and Kiara couldn't help but to sweat-drop.
'Hey, hey, this is bad! That mischievous girl?! What if she put something strange inside one of the boxes?!'
Kiara yell inside her head.
"I'm sure she didn't put something strange on one of the boxes."
Kiara snap out and saw Aoi putting her shoes on.
"Are you going somewhere?"
She ask Aoi.
"Yes, I'm going to buy some food. I was in a hurry earlier that I forgot to eat breakfast."
Aoi smile sheepishly and Kiara only heave out a sigh.
'What a klutz… Well, that's one of her charm points.'
"Then, I'll come with you, I'm a little hungry too."
Aoi only smile and take out her wallet from her bag.
"It's my treat then, let's go."
Aoi offer and Kiara only follow behind her.
