“Did you fill out the application form?”
Miyuki asked. Tetsuya, with a bright smile, waved a piece of paper.
Guess he was in a good mood after stuffing his face with the leftover bento at lunch?
I had mine with Miyuki on the rooftop, you know. It was a secret date.
Miyuki nodded and turned to me.
“What about yours, Matsuda-kun?”
“I’ve already filled it out, Mom.”
“Mom…?”
“You keep asking if everything’s ready even though I already told you that it is… You’re acting like a mom.”
“…”
Miyuki shook her head.
She was about to let it slide, but then she saw my mischievous expression and frowned.
“W-what…? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Like what?”
“You were about to say something… Something weird… weren’t you!?”
Yeah, I was about to ask you when mom was going to breastfeed me.
“Something weird? Like what?”
I played dumb, and Miyuki sighed, fanning herself with her hand.
“Ugh… Forget it…!”
You were thinking the same thing as me, weren’t you?
Your training is going well.
Keep becoming more and more lewd just like this.
“Matsuda… You’re making Miyuki uncomfortable.”
Tetsuya chimed in from the side.
Read the room, man. You’re not the protagonist of Doki Doki Academy.
Only I get to say those lines.
“Hey, I didn’t say anything. She’s just assuming things on her own. That’s unfair, man.”
“Okay, okay. Let’s hurry to the Kendo Club. We’ll be late.”
I shrugged off Tetsuya, who was trying to push me along, and spoke to Miyuki, who was trying to calm her flushed face, in a serious tone.
“I hope you get into the student council.”
“…Yeah, thanks.”
“That way, you can let me off the hook when I’m late, even if you won’t do the same for anyone else.”
“That will never happen. I won’t let you off the hook, no matter what.”
We’ll see about that.
I chuckled at Miyuki’s spirited retort and headed towards the Kendo Club room with Tetsuya.
It was finally time to meet the second heroine.
Inoo Renka.
She was a plain-looking girl who always tied her hair up and wore either her school uniform or her Kendo uniform at the academy and at home.
But when going out, she transformed into a stylish and sophisticated woman.
She sported various hairstyles like a hair model and showed off a diverse fashion sense.
She exuded an aura that intimidated most people, making it difficult to approach her.
That was how Renka showed herself to the world on the outside.
But she was warm-hearted on the inside.
Unlike the gentle Miyuki, Renka was the type of tsundere that would make sure to take good care of you while teasing and being sarcastic once you get close to her enough.
And she had a big secret.
She was a huge fan of manga and anime.
Attending comic conventions, collecting merchandise and figures, even watching hentai without hesitation.
She was a true otaku who enjoyed all genres and found happiness in looking at her figure collection at home.
She was so well-known in the anime community of the Doki Doki Academy world that her reviews on large anime websites always received thousands of upvotes. She was a famous anime reviewer.
Plain, aloof tsundere, and otaku.
An incredibly rare and fantastical creature with a triple personality.
That was Inoo Renka, and I was about to meet her in person at last.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
What’s the most important part of a school club story?
A fiery passion? Talent? Effort? Sweaty camaraderie? Rivals?
Or perhaps a hot-blooded senpai?
Those were all important, but to me, it’s a manager.
A beautiful female manager who takes a liking to the protagonist and looks after him…
And then the heroine starts noticing the friendly atmosphere between the protagonist and the manager and finds herself getting jealous over it.
Doki Doki Academy’ Kendo Club had such a manager.
Her name was Nanase Chinami.
She was a second-year, even smaller than Miyuki… a very cute and energetic manager.
“Hello! Are you here to join the Kendo Club?”
Chinami greeted us with a bright smile. Tetsuya replied enthusiastically,
“Yes! We are!”
“Whoa! Your voice is so loud…!”
“S-sorry…”
“No worries! It’s great to see so much enthusiasm! I’m second-year Nanase Chinami. I’m the manager of the Kendo Club!”
Look at how energetic she is.
Her shoulder-length pink hair, slightly curled inwards at the ends, was so charming.
It made me want to cum all over it.
When I played Doki Doki Academy, I thought it would be nice to have her as a sub-heroine…
Maybe I should seriously pursue her this time.
It would be tough to manage multiple heroines, but having random encounters with Chinami would be pretty easy since she would usually be around while I was pursuing Renka. I should think positively.
“I’m Miura Tetsuya, a first-year. Nice to meet you, senpai.”
Chinami performed a Kendo-style bow, bending at the waist about 30 degrees, in response to Tetsuya’s deep bow. Then, she looked at me.
“And you… the one with all the scars on your face, who are you…?”
“Matsuda Ken. First-year.”
“Matsuda Ken…? That name sounds familiar… Ah!!”
Chinami muttered to herself and then clapped her hands.
Tetsuya and I flinched, and she pointed at me and exclaimed,
“You’re the one from yesterday’s incident!! The guy at the disciplinary committee!!”
Looks like word had spread to the second-years too.
To be fair, the Supreme Circle was giving the academy a lot of trouble, the incident itself was huge, and the disciplinary results were posted on the bulletin board, so it shouldn’t be surprising that most students would know about what happened by now.
I looked down at Chinami with an indifferent expression.
“I’ve already gone through the disciplinary process. Is there a problem with me joining the club?”
“No! Of course not… I was just surprised. I’m sorry if I offended you…! Please hand me your application forms and come on in! You can sit on the empty cushions at the front!”
Tetsuya and I handed our forms to Chinami and passed by her.
“I-I can’t read this… Your handwriting is terrible…!”
Chinami’s small voice as she looked at my application form.
Tetsuya burst out laughing.
I poked him with my elbow and we entered the Kendo Club room.
The atmosphere inside was heavy.
There were a few first-years who had already joined during the new semester. They seemed to have adapted to the environment, sitting quietly on their knees, facing forward without a word.
There were about thirty members in total, including both boys and girls.
Not many first-years, though.
There must have been many applicants during the first semester, but most of them probably quit.
Including me and Tetsuya, there were seven new applicants?
That was a lot, considering it was the second semester.
We found empty cushions and sat down side by side, imitating the seiza posture of those around us.
After waiting in silence for a while, Chinami entered the room and knocked on a separate door inside.
The door opened, revealing a hairy middle-aged man with a friendly smile and a girl with long hair tied back in a ponytail.
“It’s Renka.”
Her delicate features were perfectly arranged on her fair skin.
Her sharp eyes, long, thick eyelashes, and tightly closed lips…
Her tall stature and average chest…
It was the Inoo Renka I knew.
My heart wasn’t pounding as much as it did when I saw Miyuki.
Not because Renka wasn’t beautiful, but because I had already gotten used to being in this Doki Doki Academy world.
As I stared at Renka intently,
“Welcome. I’m Dojima Goro, the advisor and coach of the Yeboni Academy Kendo Club. Call me Coach.”
I snapped out of it when the hairy man stood in front of the applicants and introduced himself.
“Good afternoon, Coach!”
The applicants greeted him in unison, their voices booming.
Did they rehearse this behind my back or something?
I missed the chance to greet him properly.
I glanced at Renka, and she was looking at me with a stern expression.
My image had taken a hit. But could it really get any worse than it already was at this point?
“I like your spirit, lads. The person next to me is Inoo Renka, the captain of the Kendo Club. She’s a trustworthy person who will be guiding you all along with me.”
A Club Captain despite being a second-year.
She must have been exceptionally skilled and charismatic to earn everyone’s recognition.
Renka was unable to participate in the National Athletics Competition back in August due to an injury she sustained, so she was probably not in the best of moods right now.
I had to be careful not to act too recklessly around her and end up making her impossible to obtain.
“Nice to meet you, Captain!”
Damn it! Let’s greet her together, you bastards!
Missing the timing once again, I listened to Goro’s welcome speech with a sense of resignation.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“Next… Matsuda Ken!”
Chinami called my name in a gentle voice.
I walked towards her and replied,
“Yes.”
“You’re tall… If you don’t mind me asking, how tall are you?”
“187 centimeters.”
“Wow…! You must have had a lot of milk when you were young.”
“Well… I do like drinking milk.”
“I used to hate milk. I like it now, but… I guess I should have had more of it even if I didn’t like it.”
What you do does play a role in growth, but… genetics are probably more important.
But I still like you just the way you are now.
All you need to do is bend your knees a little, and you’d be at the perfect angle for a blowjob.
“Sorry for all the chit-chat. Here’s your uniform.”
I received the uniform Chinami offered with both hands and bowed my head slightly.
“Thank you, senpai.”
“You’re welcome. And we do a standing bow in the Kendo Club, not a head bow. Here, follow me.”
Chinami demonstrated the same etiquette she showed Tetsuya during the application process.
I awkwardly imitated her, and she giggled and nodded. I scratched my head and left the storage room.
As I did that, I ran into Renka.
She looked at me with an emotionless expression, her arms crossed.
“Matsuda Ken.”
“Yes?”
“The coach wants to talk to you. Come with me to his office.”
Hmm… I wanted to turn that cold voice into moans of pleasure as soon as possible.
You are thinking about what anime to watch when you get home right? I already know all about it.
I followed her to the coach’s office, and I saw Goro sitting there, so I stood awkwardly as I tried to follow the serious atmosphere to the best of my ability.
He smiled warmly at me and gestured towards the seat opposite him.
“Have a seat, Matsuda.”
“Yes, sir.”
I hesitantly sat down, and Goro got straight to the point.
“You’ll start as a manager.”
“…Excuse me?”
Coach, are you trying to get me to punch you?
What the hell was he talking about? I wanted to practice Kendo.
“Did I do something wrong? If it’s because I didn’t greet you earlier…”
“It’s not that. It would be pathetic to punish someone for not greeting you just because they don’t know proper etiquette.”
“Then why…”
“Kendo isn’t just about hitting each other with bamboo swords. It’s a martial art that emphasizes the cultivation of mind, body, and spirit. The most important thing in practicing martial arts is etiquette. Respect regardless of seniority, proper posture, dignity… Only after mastering these basic etiquettes can you hold the sacred shinai.”
“…”
“But you’re practically devoid of etiquette. Don’t you realize that when you look back on your past actions?”
But I consistently cleaned the toilets, stopped that pervert from touching Miyuki, and even quit the violent Supreme Circle.
I was making an effort to turn over a new leaf.
I admit I was still lacking, but the fact that Goro didn’t seem to acknowledge my efforts hurts.
But I see that you’re wearing a wedding ring, aren’t you?
It’s a classic trope in school sports club stories for the passionate, bearded coach to have a beautiful wife that surprises everyone… So watch yourself.
“…Yes, you’re right.”
“It’s good that you admit it honestly. We’ll help set you on the right path so you can practice true martial arts. For now, assist Nanase and learn how the Kendo Club operates.”
But does this mean that I might miss out on some early events…?
And Tetsuya could even get those events instead of me.
That would be the worst. This would make pursuing Renka incredibly difficult.
But at least I would be receiving one-on-one lessons from Chinami.
She was both a manager and a formal member of the Kendo Club.
She was kind enough to volunteer as a manager, and her skills were good enough to consistently participate in team competitions.
She would take good care of me, and she was close to Renka, so…
If I showed a positive attitude, she might put in a good word for me with Renka.
It seemed like I would be spending a lot of time with Chinami for the time being…
Should I just make her a main heroine too, now that things have turned out this way?
She was a perfect, untouched virgin, and pursuing her first might help me win Renka’s heart…
There would be no reason not to, right?
“I understand. So what should I do first? Should I go to Nanase-senpai?”
When I readily agreed to their conditions, Goro and Renka’s eyes widened.
They seemed surprised.
Judging by their reaction, I might be able to secure those early events after all.
My priority would still be getting closer to Miyuki, but I would also do my best in this club’ activities.
