2 – Why did I join the Newspaper Club? What do you think?

“What do you think is the reason I joined the Newspaper Club?”

As I was putting the pencil case in my bag, I heard a relaxed voice.

I thought we were going to move on today because we didn’t talk for a while even though there were only two of us left. But it couldn’t be. Ina might be living every day for this moment.

After putting the bag down under the desk, I leaned on his chin and answered.

“I don’t know.”

“A. If you don’t know, who knows?”

“You.”

“That’s right~”

Ina seemed drowsy, so she leaned on her desk and only her head was facing me. Her half-closed eyes gave her an unusual impression. She has a somewhat blank face.

“If you feel sleepy, go home and sleep.”

“No. Rather than being sleepy…… I’m bored because I have nothing to do.”

“Then write an article.”

“I can’t because I’m not good at writing.”

Why did such a person come to the newspaper department? As soon as she had the thought, Ina’s eyebrows went up.

“Why did I enter the Newspaper Club?”

Longens the end as if asking a riddle. Looking at Inna, who was grinning at what was so interesting, she let out a sigh.

“If you get it right, what will you give me?”

“Um~ Can I kiss you?”

“That’s okay.”

“Really? Wouldn’t this opportunity be rare? If I miss it this time, will it come back next month?”

“Opportunities come more often than you think.”

A kiss or something, as always, it’s just a joke, so there’s no need to think too hard about it. The time to give meaning to each of these words has already passed.

She decided to join the riddle with reaping reaping.

“Did you come here to write a letter of intent?”

“Oh, my God. That’s a realistic guess. Did you want to kiss me like that?”

As she said that, she drew a scissor mark with the index fingers of both her hands.

“But Ding. Wrong. That’s sad.”

She said in a voice that showed no sign of pity.

She didn’t mean to be kissed, but she gave her own possible answer.

In our school, even the existence of clubs is vague, let alone club activities.

Most of them go straight to their homes or private academies right after school. It is not common for people to remain and participate in club activities like us. Even the members of the newspaper club never stay late. No, it doesn’t even come well in the first place.

Nevertheless, Ina will stay until this time and play a joke on me.

That’s…… Hmm.

“…… I don’t have any clue whatsoever.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Not one, not at all, not this much.”

“That’s strange. I don’t think it’s a difficult problem. He gave me a lot of hints.”

He covered his mouth and let out a giggly laugh. It was clear that she was making fun of me by looking at this. Here, if she made a mistake and said something strange, it is certain that the mockery will come back as if she had waited.

Soon after, Ina stretched her body.

“Oh, how about putting it in a reader quiz in the next issue?”

“Where is the newspaper that gives readers quizzes on personal issues like this? Who will get it right?”

“Is that so? I think anyone can easily guess it.”

Ina smiled brightly and was looking up at me. She didn’t know what emotion was in her moist, sparkling eyes.

After a few seconds of eye contact, in the end I averted my gaze first.

“Well, I don’t know why you joined the Newspaper Club. If you want to remain in the newspaper department, you will have to write articles soon.”

“Oh.”

In an instant, the smile disappeared from Ina’s face. Before long, she took out her cell phone from her pocket and started manipulating her around.

“Really. It’s already been a month.”

As a member of the newspaper club, you don’t have to do anything. Whether it’s holding a meeting, exhibiting at a festival, or participating in a competition hosted by a company. Such troublesome tasks are not given.

Write at least one article per month. This is the only duty given to members of the newspaper club.

It has been two months since Ina entered her department. The time has come for her to write her second article.

“When I wrote the first article, it wasn’t really a fuss.”

Ina hardened her expression as if she remembered what happened then.

“So? Have you decided on a topic for this article?”

“Hmm~ I have a topic in mind.”

And then she pushes the screen of her phone towards me.

The text displayed on the screen is a list of places to play around the school.

“How is it?”

“I think it’s like you.”

Anyway, this guy is one of the most popular sign-ins among all students. I don’t know if the teachers don’t like it very much, following the cafes around the school, it’s a fun place around the school.

“Um~ then I’ll have to go out for coverage this time too.”

Ina’s eyes rolled around and turned toward me.

“Then, since you lost, why don’t you join me in my coverage?”

“You said? Did we have a confrontation or something?”

“Huh? The question I raised earlier was wrong, right?”

If it’s a question he gave, is it a quiz about ‘Why did you join the Newspaper Club’?

“Was there a penalty for that?”

“Since it was a contract that would kiss you if you got it right, wouldn’t it be natural for there to be some disadvantages if you got it wrong? Life is always plus or minus zero?”

“Life is such an absurd thing… ….”

From now on, check the contract carefully. I made up my mind.

Anyway, there was no complaint about participating in the coverage itself.

Ina is not good at writing. Even when I wrote the first article, I ended up ghostwriting half of it. Of course, I’ve never been to that cafe, so it ended up being fiction with some imagination.

In order not to repeat such a thing, well.

“Okay. Will it be the weekend?”

“Huh? Uh…… Are you really going with me?”

This is an unexpected reaction. Why are you doing this? Not knowing why, she narrowed her eyes, and Ina cleared her throat several times before opening her mouth again.

“Well then, in front of school at 1:30 on Saturday. Gwa, are you okay?”

“Well, yes.”

After answering that, Ina nodded her head slightly.

Anyway, the story seems to have been sorted out. I picked up my bag and got up. Only then did Ina grab her bag and stand in her place.

It was dark outside when she left the room. I ended up leaving school later than I thought.

While walking to the school gate, Ina said nothing. It’s normal for her to make fun of me with various words, so the quiet Ina felt rather fresh.

That’s how we arrived at the school gate.

Ina and I go in different directions. Normally, Ina would have said hello first, but today she doesn’t move with her mouth closed.

“See you tomorrow.”

I gave a rough greeting and turned my back. And as I took a few steps, I heard a voice behind me.

“Yes.”

And a word.

“A date, I look forward to it.”

Then came the sound of footsteps running down the street.

…… Date?
