hmm……

At Do Yu-jin’s question, Erio stroked his lips with his little finger.

Erio, who had been thinking about it for a while, soon shook his head.

“No, it was fun, but I didn’t really feel like joining.”

As he said that, Erio glanced at Doyujin’s expression and then looked around.

“Well, let’s take it easy. Just because you’re a student in a circle doesn’t mean you have to join the club.”

Do Yu-jin, who had noticed from her experience so far that she was currently contemplating whether or not to enter one of the nearby clubs, spoke urgently without showing off.

If I continued like that and ended up going to some weird club, my plans could have gone awry.

“Okay, I got it.”

Fortunately, Erio readily agreed and was carried by Doyujin.

Do Yu-jin thought quietly while carrying Erio like that.

‘I guess you’re feeling a little better now.’

Do Yu-jin began to look around the exhibition again with a slightly more relaxed mind.

While walking around like that, Do Yu-jin looked at the map and let out a small exclamation.

“Oh, right. Now that I think about it, there’s another club nearby that I was planning to go to. Is it okay if I stop by there for a bit?”

“Yeah, it’s okay.”

Erio answered like that and then remained silent for a moment as if thinking about something before opening his mouth.

“But Eugene.”

“Huh? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?”

“What is cosplay?”

“Well, to put it simply, it’s disguising yourself as a character from a creative work.”

Shrug-

“But actually, I don’t know the details either.”

To be honest, Do Yu-jin wasn’t interested in things like acting or cosplay.

However, the reason I chose those two clubs was because I needed the ability to immerse myself in the character and bring him out through acting and disguise to move forward as the character of Ghost.

‘These two abilities are too far-fetched to obtain in any other way. It’s best to obtain them by joining a club.’

While Do Yu-jin was thinking like that, Erio asked again.

“How long will it take to apply?”

“That’s not uncommon, but I don’t think it will be like that this time. It’s not a popular club, so I think they’ll just accept you if you apply.”

Do Yu-jin thought lightly about it and went to the cosplay club, expressing her desire to go into the club like she did in the morning.

“Hmm, it might be a little difficult?”

“Yes?”

It was just completely ripped off.

◎ ◎ ◎

A club is basically a type of social activity created by students who are interested in a specific field.

As a result, it wasn’t difficult to get into a club unless it was famous, but on the contrary, since everyone there was a bunch of weirdos, there were times when they asked for unexpected conditions for joining.

‘No, honestly, this condition isn’t that strange… … ‘

Do Yu-jin sighed inwardly and looked at the woman in front of her.

“Hey~ This is going to be hard, right? If you only have that much passion, it’s going to be hard for us to accept it?”

A female student with medium-length, light green hair tied back in a half-updo with a black ribbon was smiling with an arrogant expression and her chin slightly raised.

When I look at it, I feel like I want to punch Jeong Su-ri in the face, it looks so damn good…

‘Oh, this is not it.’

Do Yu-jin calmed down after drinking orange juice.

But that didn’t really make the situation any better.

‘I let my guard down, I didn’t think there would be an interview… ‘

“Wow! You want to join our club! Of course you’re welcome! Come on, both of you, come on in!”

“Huh? You’re not a girl? Oh, but it’s okay. Come in. I think we need to talk a little bit, but it’ll be lonely if you wait outside alone.”

Do Yu-jin, who entered the club’s secret room like this, sat down and was treated to cookies and juice by the green-haired female student in front of her.

When the mood had relaxed a bit, she asked a question.

“But which character from which work do you like the most?”

It wasn’t a particularly aggressive question.

Rather, it was closer to a kind and innocent question asking someone to share something they liked.

“Uh, that’s… … ”

The problem was that Do Yu-jin, who had the sinister intention of farming traits, could not possibly answer her innocent question.

As similar situations repeated themselves a few more times, Do Yu-jin naturally lowered her head and avoided her gaze.

“Hmm~ This is really difficult~”

For some reason, she began to raise her chin higher and higher, assuming an arrogant posture.

In the perfect A and B position, Do Yu-jin carefully opened her mouth.

“Then am I eliminated?”

“Well, you could say that.”

Do Yu-jin let out a sigh of regret at the answer that was as expected.

‘I found this club after considering the combination of traits and the actions of the main characters in various ways, but I never thought I would be eliminated so absurdly. If I had known this would happen, I would have come after finding out about the characters from any of the works.’

Sigh-

‘Well, I guess there’s nothing I can do. I have no choice but to join another club.’

Joining a cosplay club would have been the most desirable option, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t other alternatives.

“Let’s go.”

“Yeah.”

That’s why Do Yu-jin made up her mind and immediately got up from her seat.

“But actually, I have quite a bit of power in this club, so if you guys want to get in so badly, I’ll put in extra effort… … Huh?”

The green-haired schoolgirl who had been speaking confidently looked bewildered when she saw Do Yu-jin suddenly stand up.

“Huh? Hey, guys, wait a minute? Hey, guys? Why are you suddenly up?”

She realized belatedly that something was wrong and called out to them in a trembling voice, but her voice did not reach them.

“So where are you going now?”

“Well, I guess I’ll have to think about it a bit?”

That would be the case, since the two were already thinking about which club to go to next.

“Then, senior, I listened to the explanation well.”

“Oh, senior, that’s so nice to hear… … No! Guys, wait a minute! Normally you shouldn’t be allowed in, but I’ll make a special effort to let you in! Don’t leave so hastily… … !”

She cried out with desperation.

Could it be that desperation that brought about a miracle?

Rattling-

“Hello, I’m out!”

Suddenly the door to the store opened and a cheerful, brown-haired woman came in with a smile.

“You must have had a hard time staying alone in the dorm. Tantan, I bought some snacks from a street vendor for you to eat… … ”

She came in swinging her long brown hair in a ponytail along with an envelope. She looked at Do Yu-jin and Erio one after another and spoke with a surprised expression.

“Huh? What? Are you two trying to come to our club?”

“Oh, yes.”

Do Yu-jin nodded.

“But I was going back because I didn’t pass the passing standard.”

“Huh? Passing criteria? What do you mean? Our club doesn’t have that? If you come, you automatically pass.”

“Yes?”

“Huh?”

She looked at the lime-haired schoolgirl, tilting her head as if in doubt.

“Ehehehe… … So, senior. There are circumstances here… … ”

The green-haired schoolgirl, who was receiving that soft yet strangely oppressive gaze, timidly wiggled her fingers with a trembling smile on her lips, as if asking when she had ever acted so rudely in front of Do Yu-jin.

It was an appearance that gave the viewer confidence to the point that it was a waste of time even to ask whether he was the culprit.

◎ ◎ ◎

“This guy! How dare he pull such a prank on our precious new students who are trying to join our club!”

“Hmph! I didn’t mean anything bad! I just thought that since I could finally escape my long life as the youngest, I should show my senior’s authority in advance, so that’s it… … ”

The brown-haired student, who introduced herself as Memori, roughly explained the situation to her, then pulled the cheeks of the lime-haired student named Tantan from side to side.

“Neeeingit!”

Tantan screamed every time her cheeks stretched. Was it because she had just seen her get beaten up so badly?

Do Yu-jin watched the two of them happily, feeling as if her heart was being refreshed.

Straight-

At that time, Erio grabbed Doyujin’s sleeve and asked.

“You don’t have to go anywhere else?”

“Uh… …I think that would be okay?”

Do Yu-jin said that and glanced in the direction of the two people.

“Surrender! Senior, hang on!”“Where! Reflect a little more!”

Although he was beginning to have doubts about whether it would be okay to join this club, Do Yu-jin decided to just stay where she was and gain some traits first.

After a short while like that.

“Ahaha, sorry guys. Something came up suddenly so I had to leave the office for a bit, but I didn’t expect something like this to happen in that short time.”

Memories, who had roughly summarized the situation, smiled awkwardly.

“Tantan, he’s not a bad kid, but sometimes he goes crazy like this. I apologize for that again.”

“No, it’s okay, don’t worry about it.”

Do Yu-jin said coolly.

When I lifted my chin while laughing, I felt like my fist was about to explode, but thinking about it calmly, I didn’t really feel like I was being bullied or anything.

‘No, rather, I guess you could say I was treated well since I was treated with cookies and juice?’

When Do Yu-jin answered with that thought, Memori smiled in relief.

“Really? Then that’s good.”

Ahem-

“Then, back to the subject… …you said you came here because you wanted to join our club, right?”

“Yes, by the way, I am the only one who is going in.”

“Okay! Got it.”

Swish-

“Then let’s get along well from now on.”

“I am the one who needs your help.”

After that simple handshake, Do Yu-jin rolled her eyes and looked at the text that appeared in front of her.

And in the meantime, Memori and Tantan both looked slightly moved.

“Finally, we have a new member in our club… … ”

“Finally, I have a junior… … ”

hmm?

“What did you just say?”

“Ah, it’s nothing!”

“I didn’t say anything!”

Although she was quite suspicious, Do Yu-jin eventually gave up on asking questions and nodded because the two people were shaking their heads desperately.

“Oh, yeah! Since you’ve come all this way, why don’t you go and check out what our club does?”

However, as the suspicious gaze continued, Memories spoke to the two of them in an awkwardly loud voice.
