And thus, one class started.
Hikari was about to return to his classroom, but while walking in the hallway, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
"Hikari-kun!", A clear and crisp girl's voice came from behind.
Hikari turned his head immediately upon hearing it.
He saw a beautiful girl in a JK uniform glaring at him with a displeased look.
The girl had long black hair that reached her waist, cascading like a waterfall, tied into a big bow at the back of her head. Two red hair ribbons were tied to the strands of hair by her cheeks, making her look even more charming and cute.
Underneath her see-through bangs were curved willow-leaf eyebrows and large, glistening eyes. At the corner of her left eye, there was a small beauty mark.
The girl's facial features were delicate, her appearance pure, and her skin fair. She could be described as a textbook beauty.
However, more attention-grabbing than her pretty face was her figure, which was far more developed than her peers.
The fullness under her white JK shirt was extremely impressive, at least E-cup or bigger, giving off a sense of imminent explosion.
Combined with her pure and cute face, she could definitely be described as a "l*li with huge b*obs."
Hikari couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
'Should I say, as expected of the 2D world?'
Just now, the chest size of Ogura Asuka, whom he had just physically and mentally released tension with, was already considered one in a million in his past life.
But now he had just returned to school and already saw another girl on par.
And this pure-looking, big-boobed beautiful girl was now angrily walking up to Hikari, her every step causing a noticeable bounce.
"Hikari-kun!", As soon as she reached him, the busty girl couldn't help but say, "Ever since you joined the film screening club, you haven't attended a single activity. Why is that?"
"I've been busy studying, Amakawa-san," Hikari smiled at the "l*li with huge b*obs" before him—Amakawa Kanade. The pure and pretty busty girl standing in front of him was Amakawa Kanade, the vice president of the film screening club.
Previously, when Hikari joined various clubs, he had also joined the film screening club.
Though called a club, the film screening group only had two or three members, basically just a couple of stray cats and dogs.
As far as Hikari knew, besides the president Nishida Hajima and the vice president Amakawa Kanade, it seemed like he was the only other member.
In other words, excluding Hikari, the club only had two people.
With so few members, the club was likely in danger of being shut down.
That was also why Amakawa Kanade had been so enthusiastic when Hikari joined the film screening club.
Back then, when she learned Hikari was joining during the club recruitment fair, Amakawa Kanade was overjoyed and even said she'd treat him to a meal. She invited him to every club activity afterward too.
But who would've thought, after joining, Hikari hardly ever showed his face.
This left Amakawa Kanade extremely frustrated. Hikari hadn't participated in a single club activity, making her feel like she was throwing flirtatious glances at a blind man. Her enthusiasm wasted.
So now, after running into Hikari, Amakawa Kanade couldn't hold back anymore and decided to question him properly.
Seeing Hikari still smiling at her, Amakawa Kanade became so angry her proud chest rippled like stormy waves. She gently pressed her fair hand to her chest to calm down.
Then Amakawa Kanade couldn't help but say, "Hikari-kun, you should come to at least one film screening club activity sometime."
"No matter how busy you are with studying, there should still be some time to participate in club activities, right?"
"Our club doesn't even have any complicated activities, just watching movies together and writing some reflections afterward. That's it."
Seeing Amakawa Kanade patiently persuading him in such a gentle tone, Hikari was deeply touched and nodded, replying, "Okay, next time for sure!"
Are you kidding me? He's busy hunting minotaurs every day. Where would he find the time to watch movies?
Hikari had only joined the film screening club because of Amakawa Kanade.
Not because she was pretty or had huge boobs.
Mainly, when he saw her innocent and dazed look, combined with her looks and that lewd figure, he was basically sure she was surrounded by minotaurs.
Also, due to faint memories, he figured he could probably catch a minotaur through Amakawa Kanade, so he joined the film screening club.
It's not that he didn't like watching movies, but watching with the film club members and then writing reflections? No, thanks.
He'd rather, when he's free, research some action movies with Yukino or the three hot gals.
And maybe because dumb luck favors dumb people, Hikari originally thought a naive girl like Amakawa Kanade would easily trigger a minotaur event.
But unexpectedly, the pure-love paper crane tied to her showed no signs of movement, so Hikari hadn't bothered with her or the film club.
Although Amakawa Kanade seemed naive and a little goofy, she was still a high school girl. Not that dumb. She clearly noticed Hikari's perfunctory tone.
Amakawa Kanade grabbed Hikari's wrist and pulled him toward the film screening club room.
"Hikari-kun, it's really too much that you haven't participated in any activities since joining. I'm not blaming you, but I really hope you can enjoy the beauty of films with me and Nishida-kun."
"Come with me. Our club is organizing a movie viewing soon. It's a new release, and all club members get a free ticket."
"Just write a review after watching. Come get your ticket and let's go see it."
While talking, Amakawa Kanade pulled Hikari toward the club room. Clearly, the vice president of the film screening club, who disapproved of Hikari's laziness, was preparing a 'forcible drag into participation.'
With Amakawa Kanade's soft and smooth hand, Hikari could've easily pulled away with a little force.
But he didn't. He let her pull him toward the film club activity room.
Not because the girl's fragrance was pleasant.
Nor because her soft hand felt nice.
But because through his love aura vision, Hikari saw faint black lines rising from Amakawa Kanade's forehead.
Hikari clearly understood what those black lines meant.
Recently, the silly and busty vice president Amakawa Kanade was probably about to encounter a minotaur incident.
And it seemed closely related to this movie screening activity.
So, he might as well go with her.
With a vague memory of the plot, Hikari followed Amakawa Kanade to the film screening club room.
Inside the classroom-turned-club room, a male student was already seated.
"Nishida-kun, I'm here," As soon as they entered, Amakawa Kanade greeted Nishida Hajima. Clearly, their relationship was quite good.
"Amakawa-san… Eh? Hikari-kun?", Nishida Hajima looked up with a smile upon hearing her, but was surprised to see Hikari with her.
"Hello, Nishida-kun," Hikari greeted with a smile.
Nishida quickly responded, "Hello, Hikari-kun!"
While Nishida wondered why Hikari, who'd barely shown up since joining, was suddenly here, Amakawa Kanade explained with a smile, "Nishida-kun, Hikari-kun said he's joining this movie screening."
"We've always watched separately and shared thoughts afterward. This is my first time watching with someone else. Hikari-kun's here too, so our club is finally complete. So happy!"
"Nishida-kun, give Hikari-kun a ticket."
Hearing her, Nishida finally understood.
Hikari was actually going to participate in this event.
Seeing Amakawa Kanade smiling and chatting with Hikari excitedly, Nishida looked a little conflicted.
He didn't really want to give Hikari a ticket, but seeing how happy Amakawa was to finally get him involved, he reluctantly opened the desk drawer, took out a ticket, and handed it to her.
Amakawa Kanade happily passed the ticket to Hikari, "Hikari-kun, here you go."
"Alright, thanks," Hikari smiled as he accepted the ticket. Meanwhile, Nishida's downcast expression showed he was unhappy. Clearly not pleased about Hikari joining the movie event.
This movie event was organized by Nishida Hajima himself, as club president.
His purpose wasn't the movie itself, but to invite Amakawa Kanade and watch it with her alone.
He liked Amakawa Kanade. The ticket he bought was for a romance movie.
Nishida's plan was to use the club event as an excuse to invite her, then, when she got emotionally moved by the love story, confess to her.
Nishida was an introverted otaku who loved movies, so he started this club. He thought he'd spend high school life alone.
But then the cheerful, busty Amakawa Kanade got into movies and joined his club, often asking him for movie advice.
Her recognition of his movie knowledge made him feel appreciated for the first time. With no friends or recognition before, he quickly developed feelings for her. Plus, she was cute and curvy.
Kanade seemed to admire him a bit too, but her slightly dumb, naive personality made it hard for Nishida to tell how she truly felt.
So this movie was his opportunity to confess.
But unexpectedly, Hikari, who'd never joined before, suddenly showed up. Truly surprising.
On the other side, as Hikari accepted the movie ticket from Nishida, he noticed the unhappy look on his face.
Even though Nishida tried to hide it, it was obvious to Hikari.
Seeing it, Hikari just smiled slightly.
These kids who wear their emotions on their sleeves, he could read their thoughts at a glance.
But he didn't care.
He wasn't particularly familiar with Nishida or Amakawa Kanade.
He had no special feelings toward either of them.
He was here mainly to gather information and recall details about the specific minotaur incident.
After all, through his aura vision, he saw black energy rising from Kanade's head, clearly a sign of a coming minotaur disaster.
After a quick scout of the clubroom, Hikari basically figured it out.
Once he understood, he waved the movie ticket and smiled at them, "Got the ticket. I'm heading out."
As he left, Amakawa Kanade quickly called out, "Hikari-kun, make sure you watch the movie! Don't break your promise!"
"Sure."
Hikari nodded and walked out of the clubroom.
Once he was gone, the introverted Nishida Hajima finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Having someone else in the room, especially a handsome and charismatic guy like Hikari, was a lot of pressure.
But seeing Amakawa Kanade's enthusiastic behavior toward Hikari left Nishida feeling a little bitter.
Even though he knew it wasn't because she liked Hikari. She was just excited he was finally joining an activity.
Still, driven by his feelings and possessiveness, he felt uncomfortable.
'Should I think of a way… to prevent Hikari-kun from joining this event? After all, I'm planning to confess to Amakawa…', Nishida pondered quietly.
Just then, the door to the activity room suddenly opened.
Both Nishida and Amakawa Kanade instinctively looked over.
Kanade initially thought it was Hikari returning and smiled, but when she saw who it was, her expression instantly dropped and her smile vanished.
Because standing at the door wasn't Hikari, but a boy with yellow-dyed hair and a somewhat frivolous expression.
"Am I interrupting?"
"I heard you guys are going to watch a movie, right? Take me along," Matsuoka Reiji, with his yellow hair, leaned against the door and smiled at them.
"Matsuoka Reiji, this is a film club event. If you're not a member, don't join…", Amakawa Kanade's face darkened as she tried to refuse.
But Matsuoka cut her off directly, "Don't say such hurtful things, Amakawa-san. We're friends, right?"
