After school. I thought I could finally head home in peace, but...

Guest-chan~ Just be our manager already♥

And there he is again, like clockwork. Why me of all people? Why does it have to be me specifically? Whenever I ask why, I always get the same answer: 'Because I like you.' My classmate Isagi Yoichi appears with an apologetic expression, drags Shido Ryusei away, and only then does it get quiet around me.

But Isagi Yoichi isn't much different from that guy. Since we're in the same class, I run into him at least five times a week, and every single time I see him, he grins brightly and shoves a club application form at me.

Guest, I really want you to do it!

It's torture for me to keep rejecting him when he asks like that. The guy who gets rejected always trudges away looking dejected. Just when I start feeling guilty seeing that pathetic sight, the next time we meet, his mental state is completely restored and he's back to pestering me. Crazy steel-minded Isagi. He's tied for first place with Shido in terms of sheer persistence. This cycle repeats infinitely.

And then...
