I’m Not Doing This With A Friend

I ended up joining the club as if I was possessed by his world of beauty. 

I didn’t even know what the club was about, and I made an impulsive decision. What did I do?

… … Since the water had already been spilled, I decided to just move on.

There is one new fact that I learned some time ago.

 

Yesterday, a boy named Carson was actually very famous in the academy. If you look at his appearance he doesn’t seem like a human being, you’ll think it’s natural that he’s famous.

 

But he wasn’t famous for his captivating appearance.

 

Carson was famous for his bad personality. According to rumors, he half-killed several nobles at a young age, and in order to settle the matter in his family, he was hastily enrolled into the academy.

Moreover, it is said that a few days ago, during a swordsmanship sparring with another student, he threw away his sword and used magic randomly because he did not want to sweat.

 

I didn’t intentionally listen to what other people said, but was he really  that bad? He didn’t look that bad for me yesterday. Perhaps the rumors are too exaggerated.

 

Yes, just now… In the hallway over the window, I stared at Carson smiling as he raised someone who had fallen down the hallway.

 For a kid who is so kind and smiles so pretty to kill someone, it’s probably just an accident and a few hits.

                                                           ꕥ

Carsion grabbed the back of the child who hit his shoulder and threw him to the floor. 

Thud—

 

“Ow! What kind of bastard!”

 

“Bastard?”

 

The child who was thrown to the floor screamed. Then, at the sound of his familiar voice, he raised his head with his eyes trembling slightly.

I was in big trouble.

The person I bumped into was Carsion.

“If you hit someone, you have to apologize.”

 

“I-I’m sorry.”

 

“Why are you making things up so late?” 

“I didn’t know it was you, Carson.”

 

“Then if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have said sorry. Right?

 

“No! That’s never gonna happen!”

 

“Huh?”

 

Carson stared at the kid. Then he smiles and reaches out his hand to the kid as if to help the kid to get up.

 

I was wondering whether to help the kid, or not,  but when I realized that the choice was decided anyway, I hurriedly grabbed the kid’s hand to help him.

 

While holding the kid’s hand, Carson broadly smiled.

 

“You almost hurt my shoulder, but I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll let you go with this.”

 

“Yes?”

 

Crack—

 

“Ahhh!”

 

Carsion looked with an annoyed expression at the child who was holding his broken hand and screaming. 

“Today is the first day of the club.”

In fact, Carsion was in an unusually good mood.

Yesterday, we successfully rescued the last member of the club and permission to open the club was obtained.

 

‘I was lucky to meet that kid by chance.’

Last year, instead of joining the club related to magic, which was his major subject, he joined the swordsmanship club. 

Yes, it was good to join the swordsmanship club.

 

As expected, there were not many female students in the swordsmanship club, and no one followed her into the swordsmanship club.

But who would have thought that female students would visit every day under the pretext of using the training hall.

I should have expected this, seeing that quite a few people chase me after knowing my personality.

I really can’t kill them all.

Therefore, Carsion attempted to open a club himself.

Many people tried to join when they heard that Carsion and Fjord were forming a club.

I don’t know about Carsion, but Fjord was popular with boys because he was so friendly.

The two were always the top students in the school, so they must have been aiming for grades.

  

However, from Carsion’s point of view, none of those who applied were to his liking. This is why I don’t like him, and this is why I don’t like him.

I just kept refusing… … .

When I came to, I realized that everyone had joined a different club.

 

The minimum number of club members is 3. I only needed to join one club, but I couldn’t.

 

Clubs are a big factor in Arena Academy. In other words, In other words, there are almost no students like Lien who miss the deadline and cannot join the club.

In the end, Carsion had to find victims who had not yet joined the club and force them to join.

  

Carson wandered around the school looking for a scapegoat. As he walks staring at the application paper for the club opening, he hears a conversation.

 

“Hey, do you know her?”

 

“…How do I know if you say so?”

 

“The new black-haired girl. I heard that the transfer test was really difficult during the middle of the school year, but she easily passed it.”

 

“Oh. The kid named Leen?”

 

 “Do you know her?”

 

“I haven’t actually seen her, but she’s quite famous. They said that she’s really pretty?”

 

“Yes, I’ve seen it once when I was passing by, and I was completely mesmerized.”

 

“What’s wrong with her anyway?”

 

“Everyone looked into what kind of club she was going to join, but no one knew what kind of club she’s in. If she had joined our club, I would have bragged about her everywhere.”

 

“Didn’t she miss the deadline and couldn’t apply?”

 

“Hey, she’s such a fool.”

 

“Haha- haha.”

 

Carsion’s eyes began to shine after hearing their conversation.

if?

There was no harm in checking it.

 

As soon as Carsion finished thinking, he walked up to them, grabbed them by their collars, and threatened them to find out where she was within an hour.

Exactly one hour later, after their voluntary(?) active cooperation. The brunette’s excuse was, “I did find someone similar.

Carsion listened to the excuse and gave them an extra half hour with a merciful  smile.

 

He went to check on her, just in case, and found her wearing a nametag that read ‘Leen’. 

As soon as Carson confirmed that Leen had missed the application period for the club, he invited her to join his club.

 

It was a club interview, after all, and if he didn’t get Lien, he and Fjord would end up in the most unpopular club in the world.

 

Which was also random. Therefore, Carson said in a friendly tone as much as he could because he had to threaten her if she refused.

 

However, the child, Leen, looked calm even when she saw his face.

 

In fact, he looked at her for a longer period of time. He even turned around without regret, saying he wouldn’t join her club.

At that time, I was so embarrassed that my true personality almost came out without me realizing it.

I somehow managed to get her to join the club with a smile on my face.

When I think about it now, it seems a bit strange.

It was even more so because it was the first time in my life that I had met someone who had not the slightest interest in me, be it good or bad.

 

Oh. Is my eyesight bad?

 

… … As I heard, she had a pretty face, but it wasn’t good.

 

                                                        ꕥ

 

“What’s your eyesight?”

 

“Both 2.0.”

 

Carson frowned at my answer as if he could not believe it.

 

Why is that expression? As if he’s dissatisfied with his good eyesight.

 

“Is there a problem?”

 

However, he didn’t answer my question, and Carson ignored me as if he had not heard anything.

 

Even if it’s not as bad as the rumors, still he doesn’t seem like he has a good personality.

 

Did you try to act kindly for me to join the club yesterday?  I felt the chilled atmosphere and hurriedly changed the subject, pointing to the person in the club room.

 

“Rather than that, is this kid also a member of our club? At least one out of three people?”

 

“Yes, Fjord, introduce yourself.” Carson shook his hand annoyingly.

 

Then a kid called Fjord waved at me. “Hi, I’m Fjord. Are you Leen? I heard from Caon.”

(N: Caon – Carson’s nickname) 

 

He had blond hair and green eyes and introduced himself with a smile that suited his bright personality.

 

Oh my gosh! This club has the two prettiest flowers in the academy.

 

I began to appreciate Fjord’s handsome face. Earlier, I didn’t notice, before I didn’t have to look at him openly because I didn’t know him, but he looked nice.

 

Of course, the kindness here was not about personality, but about-face.

 

“Hi. Fiord, you look really nice.”

 

“Haha. Thank you. I’ve heard a lot of things like that, but I’m more trustworthy because I speak with a calm face.”

 

Bang!

 

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a hard hit on the desk.

 

Carson looked at me and Fjord, the main culprit who made the sound. He looked dissatisfied for some reason.

 

“The introduction is over, so stop chatting.”

 

What do you mean the introduction is over? Does he not know?

 

Fjord and I greeted each other, but in fact, Carsion and I have never told each other our names since we first met.

 

Well, even if we didn’t introduce ourselves, we only need to know each other’s names.

 

“Okay, then just one question.”

 

“What?.”

 

“So what the hell is this club for? What do we do now?”

 

“Play.”

 

“?”

 

“There’s nothing to do, so do whatever you want during club time.”

 

… What are you talking about? What do you mean just play?

 

“Aren’t the grades coming out according to the club’s activity record? Besides, I heard that clubs with no performance will be closed every semester.”

 

Cassion frowned at my words.

 

“We will fill the performance score with monster subjugation, and even if we subjugate, we will put your name in it, so don’t be loud.”

 

Cutting off what I was thinking… I grabbed him by the shoulders and said sincerely. “You’re the best!.”

 

In response, Carson flinched once, and then struck my hand and raised his voice.

 

Oh, my!?

 

“Where do you think you’re touching?”

 

I couldn’t do anything with the hand that he hit, and I was just stuck in a gloomy posture.

 

“Carson, were you offended?”

 

“Don’t call my name.”

 

Perhaps angry, Carson shouted with a slightly red face.

 

I can understand that you don’t want me to touch you, but if I don’t call you by name, then what will I call you?

 

I think yesterday’s kindness was for business use. I only saw his face without knowing his personality, so it doesn’t matter.

 

I shrugged my shoulders and gave him a look. Then I took three chairs in the club room and placed them side by side.

 

I can hear Fjord’s questioning voice. “What are you doing, Leen?”

 

“Cars..”

 

Oh,  He told me not to call his name.

 

“That pink-haired kid said I could do anything during club time. I didn’t bring anything today, so I’m going to take a nap.”

 

After answering Fjord’s question in moderation, I laid down on a chair…

 

Carson glared at me.  Oh, why? What did I do again? “Hey, Pink-Head. Do you have something to say?”

 

He took his eyes off me and answered with a sigh. “No.”

 

“I have-“

 

When I said that like I had something to say to him, Carson’s eyes turned to me again.

 

“If you’re curious, can you come over here?”

 

“Tell me here.”

 

“But this is a secret that no one should hear?”

 

“I’m not curious about that.”

 

“Oh.”

 

He’s not curious. It’s a shame that I couldn’t tell you the secret, but I think I successfully cleared up the burdensome gaze.

 

I took off my cape and covered it like a blanket. After some time, I slowly fell asleep.

 

“Ha!”

 

Carson approached me nervously.

 

“What do you have to say?”

 

I put up with the laughter that was about to burst out. I wonder how he would react when he hears the secret.

 

I gestured at him to come closer. He frowned and then bowed his head as if he had given up.

 

As Carson’s ears reached my nose, I whispered low in a laughing voice.

 

“Did you actually believe that?”

 

Then, I blew air in his ear.
