Chapter 2093: Mutsumi-senpai’s note

In the next room, I was greeted by the aromatic tea brewed by my lovely tea girl, Mina. A

refreshingly bright smile hung on her lips, showing how pleased she was with the good news she just heard.

Yeah. Looks like the two seniors seated around the low, round table already told her about how we settled our differences.

“Good for you, Ruki. You don’t have to feel awkward in this club anymore.” Mina opened as she dragged me down to sit alongside them.

Yuika-senpai shyly smiled at me and took the teapot to pour me a cup.

Minori-senpai, on the other hand, was quite subtle with it. Her lips only curved for a moment before they returned to her usual, unbothered state.

“Thank you, senpai.” I thanked the orange-haired senior and took a sip before replying to Mina, “Come on, I didn’t feel awkward before. I understood where they were coming from.” “No… It is our fault.” Yuika-senpai bit her lips as she attempted to bow in apology again.

I prevented that by stretching my arm, blocking her forehead from lowering.

Minori-senpai then pulled her up and smirked.

“Yuika, just let him act humble. That’s his specialty.”

I scratched my cheek, not denying it at all. And Mina laughed at the aftermath.

“I feel like I’m watching an afternoon drama.” She said as she held her stomach.

Minori-senpai’s reprimanding gaze landed on her but she ignored it as she also moved to my Yuika-senpai’s side, telling her about my shameless exploits which somehow flustered the girl.

Perhaps not knowing where to run, she squeezed out of the two and ran to my side which Mina vacated. Using my body as her shield, she whispered meekly, “Onoda-kun, don’t mind me.” “Alright.” I succinctly replied and took another sip of the tea before I started patting her head to which she happily accepted.

Seeing how the girl ran up to me to escape them, Mina helplessly shrugged.

That’s enough confirmation for her that Yuika-senpai truly dropped her prejudice on me.

As for Minori-senpai, she’s just glad to see me uphold my promise of taking care of the girl. Even if it’s against them.

After a few more back and forths with Mina who seemed to find her motivation to tease us, I remembered something that I’d forgotten.

The note that Mutsumi-senpai left behind earlier. I put it in my pocket earlier since I still have to deal with Hayashi-sensei.

And with the class resuming, it escaped my mind to check it again.

While internally scolding myself, I brought it out of my pocket.

Mina, Yuika, and Minori-senpai all raised an eyebrow upon seeing it. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

To cast off their doubts, I opened it in front of them.

‘Sorry, Ruki, I got caught. Tehee~ I should’ve been more careful. I got lucky that it was Orimura-sensei or I would fail to deliver the goods.

I set it up in the clubhouse but didn’t plug it. It’s empty. You go and fill it for everyone.

As much as I love to see you and fill my longing for you, I have to run back to my college. If you like to thank me, send me a spicy video of you. Or better yet, video call me! I’ll wait!

If you’re wondering where I got the fridge, check the receipt.’

It was such a silly letter but I could somehow imagine the woman herself saying all that in person.

But the receipt, huh?

I once again put my hand on my pocket and pulled the long sheet of a receipt which apparently came from the largest appliance store in our city.

I almost choked when I saw the price. It was a six-digit figure. It’s actually a high-end refrigerator… One that has a lot of features.

It can produce crushed ice we can use to make some shaved ice for summer or anytime we want to.

And that’s just one of its features.

Anyway, there are a lot more items listed on it. An air conditioner that can be manually installed, a rice cooker, an electric stove, and much more.

It’s like they shopped to fill a newly-built house with the necessary appliances.

It came in a grand total of… Alright. Let’s not talk about it anymore before my stomach churns

at thinking how many lessons in my boxing instructor part-time job will I need to pay it all back.

However, when I saw the payment mode and the name of the customer who paid for it, a laugh couldn’t help but escape my mouth.

‘Onoda Sayuri.’

As it turned out, the culprit was my mom. And the date it was bought was a week ago.

We didn’t have much time to visit the clubhouse… Most likely, the items in the receipt were

transported there already.

“What’s wrong?” Mina asked with a hint of concern.

I pulled her close to me and handed her the receipt.

Upon reading it, the girl was flabbergasted. It repeated two more times when Yuika and Minori-senpai also checked it.

Then as though they were waiting for my explanation, their eyes fell on me.

“Did any of you see Mutsumi-senpai?” I smilingly shook my head.

“No. Why?” Still confused since they couldn’t connect the receipt to Mutsumi-senpai yet.

Also, they must be wondering why I brought her up.

“You see. She got caught hauling a refrigerator to the clubhouse earlier. And she left me this note.” I handed the note she left behind and they read it altogether.

“Refrigerator? Pfft. That’s signature Mutsumi-senpai. So… Your mom, I mean, Auntie bought it and she got tasked to bring it to the clubhouse? When did she meet her???”

“That’s also what I want to know. I guess… I can only call her to confirm it. But what do you think? Do you want to come with me and check out the clubhouse?”

“Us too?”

“Mhm. If you’re not busy. You can also relax there, senpai. But it won’t be today. Tomorrow.”

“S-sure. We’ll come with you.”

“Then it’s settled. Minori-senpai, you too, right?”

“Yuika said we. Is that answer not enough for you?”

“I’m just confirming.”

She’s still a little fierce. I guess she didn’t want to publicize our connection yet.

For the next few minutes, I continued drinking Mina’s tea while I listened to the girl’s exaggerated reactions as she read every item listed on the receipt.

It became a source of our laughter and by the end of it, the girl snuggled back to my side, asking me to pamper her.

Yuika and Minori-senpai went silent when I obliged. The former fidgeted at my side, perhaps not knowing how to react. I ended up holding her hand again which calmed her down. On the other hand, Minori-senpai watched on with a poker face. She’s not going to be jealous, right? With the last cup done, I excuse myself from the clubroom with Mina escorting me to the

door.

Before continuing on my way, I went back to the neighboring clubroom, telling them about the letter and my plan to check out the clubhouse tomorrow.

It’s our place, after all. If Hayashi or Orimura-sensei asked me about the members of the Potato Clubhouse, I’d list all of the girls and relish the two women’s eventual reaction. Will they be astonished or speechless? Maybe both.
