Ai To Shiawase's

Ch. 24: Ryuji Tashibara

...The first day the club started, Rey and I had a new friend!...

...\=•\=•\=...

Hakuba smiled at Rin. "Alright, Rin. Please sit down at your place again!" Hakuba's sister invited Rin to sit in her original place again.

"Good, brother!" Rin agreed to the senior request of the kind woman and walked back to her seat earlier. He walked with his head up, like he was boasting or something. Rin, it turns out you're a unique person, yes.

Rin had landed the back of his body on the chair. At the same time, I heard the voice of someone calling. "Next, you!" exclaimed Hakuba while pointing at me with his index finger.

"I-i?" I asked with my hands pointing at myself.

He nodded his head. "Yes" answered Hakuba briefly.

I just realized that it was my turn. Wait, how is this?

"Come on!" Hakuba's sister took me forward.

"Hm .. hhh ...." There was no other choice, I walked forward according to his instructions. However, as he stepped closer to Hakuba, suddenly in my eyes appeared a demonic image. The whole room turned into a demon. Why am I even thinking like this? Hakuba's brother is a good man.

I stood next to him in an upright posture, though slightly trembling.

"Well, let's introduce yourself!" pinta Hakuba's sister to me.

I glanced at his friendly smile. "Well," I said agreeing to the girl's request.

"I am Mizhunashi Ai. You can call me Ai. My hobbies are drawing or painting. My favorite food .. hmm. I like everything" I introduced myself with a brief explanation.

"If you're curious about a little bit of my life story, then you should just be curious, yes. I don't want to share this matter with anyone else" I continued. Everyone was silent while looking at me. I saw them all. 'What's wrong with him?' Yes, more or less that was the content of their minds at this moment.

Hakuba smiled forcedly. "Ai, what a great name. You must be someone who is loved by everyone, right?" tanyakanya.

"Hm? A-ah .. i-iya, Brother. People always love me" I said with a forced smile. Better yet, I don't have to share this dark story.

Hakuba smiled. "Well, is there still something you want to share with us?" tanyanya gently.

I shook my head, saying, "No, Brother!"

"Yes already then. Please go back to your place again!" Hakuba told me to sit down again.

"Good!" With pleasure, I hurried back to my seat again.

He then turned his gaze to a student sitting next to me. "Next, you!" He told the next student to introduce himself.

Not felt, the time has been getting late, I think all the students here have introduced themselves.

"Yup! Thank you, because everyone wants to introduce themselves. You want to share your great stories. Now, I'm starting to know you. Yes, although I forgot a little. But, I am sure, as time goes on, we can definitely get to know each other," said Hakuba with a sweet friendly smile. "We end first, the painting club this time, huh? Maybe, the next meeting, we're still doing introductions. You still don't know your teacher, do you? Ah, yes, even you don't know this grumpy sister hihi ...," said the kind senior while teasing Kak Haru a little more.

"Tck, why do you always make fun of me, hm? Oh, come on, whatever!" said Kak Haru with an unsightly face.

"Grrrn ...." He didn't say a word. Hakuba truly made him speechless.

"Pft .. hahaha .. hey, don't be so mad, hihi .. I was just kidding haha ...." The girl shook her hands in the air.

"Hm ...," Brief Brother Haru. He showed his coldness once again.

"Pfttt .. ah, by the way, it's already starting the afternoon. I'll be late for tutoring later ..," said Hakuba. "Alright, we've done the activity today, thank you for your participation, be careful on the way home, yes! See you soon!" Hakuba sis waved her hand and then walked out. Shortly after the girl came out, Haru followed her out.

"Ah, it's finally done! HAAAHHH ..," Rin said as she stretched her muscles. I smiled when I saw Rin. Turns out, this painting club isn't as bad as I imagined. I know a lot of new people here. Hakuba, Akira, and of course, Rin.

"Eh yes, Ai. Let's go home together!" Putting in his painting tools, he invited me to go home together.

I'm peeking. "Eh .. ta-but .. hmm .. good ...." I can't doubt Rin anymore. He's a good guy, I don't want to make him stay away from me.

Rin turned her lips together, forming a smile. He nodded his head.

Rin and I walked out of the club room. Orange rays of the afternoon sun also appear to widen in the middle field. The club's activities were very incisive, so it was not felt, it was this afternoon. Just a few steps out, I saw Rey walking with someone.

He seemed to be joking with the man. It seems like it's Rey's new friend.

"Grand .. eee ... Uh, HELLO, AI!" Rey greeted me with a waving hand. He ran up to me. "Sore, Ai ... How are you?" ask Rey. At the same time, Rey's attention was diverted to Rin who was standing next to me. "Eeee .. If I may know, who is he?" ask Rey again.

"Sore, Rey. Ah, yes, he is Rin, Nakamura Rin. He's my new friend. We both met at the painting club" I explained introducing Rin to Rey.

"Ah so. Well, hello, Rin! I'm Rey Tachibana, you can call me Rey." Rey stuck out her hand.

Rin took Rey's hand. "Greetings, Rey!" Rin.

They both took off their hands. "By the way about new friends ... Hey, Ryuji! Come here!" call Rey while pointing at the man who was joking with her earlier. A moment after being summoned by Rey, he immediately approached where we were standing.

"What's up, man?" ask the man. Wait a minute, he called Rey 'sob'? Eeh .. It seems like she has a very familiar relationship with Rey. This is the first time they have met, right?

"Eee .. Introduce, he's Ryuji Tashibara, a new friend I met at the music club. And Ryuji, they're both my friends. He is Mizhunashi Ai and the one next to him is Rin Nakamura." This time, Rey introduced me and Rin to her new friend.

"Greetings!" He shook my hand and Rin.

"Greetings to you, Ryuji!" reply us both.

"Enp ... Rey, why don't you tell me you have two beautiful girls like this. Why did you take everything, ha ...?" ryuji lirih whispered. However, I can hear it.

"Huh? Whatchu mean?" ask Rey lazily.

"Aigo .. No, it's afternoon. I have to go home soon, before my mother talks to me later," Ryuji said.

Rey nodded her head twice. "Yes, let's go home!" take Rey. The four of us walked out of school together. Yeah, well, the first day the club painted me. To be honest, this is the best day I've ever had.
