The reason why Kiriya asked this question was because she wanted to know what kind of book or literary work Shishio and Nana liked to read, after all, this place is a literature club so all they do is deal with literature.
"Hmm... book?" Nana rubbed her chin and said, "I like manga."
"..."
Kiriya and Miu were speechless and speechless when they heard Nana's words.
Although Nana is smart, she doesn't really like to read serious literary works, or rather she just reads textbooks and manga, besides that she likes to play games.
Miu was at a loss for words, but Kiriya smiled and nodded. "Yes, manga is a great literary invention between illustration and storytelling."
"So there's a manga here?" ask Nana.
"Unfortunately there is not." Kiriya shook her head dejectedly and said, "But we can put the manga here in the future if you decide to join."
"Well..." Nana looks at Shishio and waits for his decision because the reason why he came to the literature club is because of him.
"What about you Oga-kun? What kind of book do you like?" Kiriya asked.
Shishio thought for a moment and to be honest, he had not read much literature in this world, other than the work Shiro-san had bought before, he had not read much, but he had not even read it because he did not have time to read it. .
It might have been months that she became Shishio Oga, and there were so many things going on that she had no time to relax.
In Kyoto, Shishio needs to remember all of Shishio's previous memories and at that moment, he can't calm down, thinking about many things from his future, his family, his lover, his business in his previous life, he said, and there's more.
When Shishio comes to Tokyo, a system suddenly appears and makes his life turn 180 degrees. He loses his first time, he fights against someone for the first time in Tokyo, witnessing that there are many unique people in his restaurant, there are many things going on, where does he have time to read books?
Well, Shishio had plenty of time during his school days, but rather than reading literary works such as novels, poems, autobiographies, diaries, memoirs, letters, and essays, it is better to read books related to the law.
Everyone was watching, Shishio, who was thinking, and Nana couldn't help but say, "Shishio, didn't you read the book during the previous class?"
"It's a different kind of book, I read a book that deals with the law, not a literary work that we're talking about right now" Shishio said.
"Oga-kun, didn't you buy the Shizuru-sensei novel before?" ask Miu.
"I bought it, but I haven't read it because there's a lot going on in the last few days, and yet, right now, we're talking about Kiriya-sensei's question." Shishio rubbed his chin and said, "Personally, I love books and I love reading light novels," Shishio said. It wasn't him who liked to read light novels, but Shishio Oga was previously a hobby of reading light novels and after he got "Enhanced Memory", he remembered everything, including the story of everything. a light novel that Shishio Oga has read before.
"Good! You two love to read books, so let's use this opportunity to join the literature club!" Kiriya said he then issued two registration forms to join the club.
"....."
Shishio and Nana are silent on Kiriya because they know that he really wants them both to join the club.
Nana did not say anything, waiting for Shishio, because whether he would join or not, it was based on Shishio's decision, but...
"Sensei, are you a writer?" Shishio suddenly asked, changing the subject.
"Oh? Why are you saying that?" Kiriya did not nod or shake her head, waiting for Shishio to tell her about why Shishio thought of her as a writer.
"When I entered this club room, there were a lot of strange things here" Shishio said.
"Weird stuff?" 2x
Nana and Miu are confused because they think there is nothing strange in this club room. There were books, chairs, tables, shelves, clocks, and various literature-related things, but there was nothing that could be said to be strange so they were a little confused.
"What's so strange about this room, Oga-kun?" Miu asked worriedly, wondering if this place was dirty.
"This place is weird because there are books here" Shishio said.
"Huh?" 2x
They felt astonished when they heard Shishio's reasoning.
“I mean, there's only Miu-senpai as a member of the literature club, right? That is, the literature club is not an official club, or rather this club should be disbanded, right? Why are there so many books here? After all, since the literature club was not an official club, then there was no way the club could keep all the books here, and perhaps, the school would move all the books here to the library or warehouse."
Shishio knows that the club space in the school is limited and there are many clubs who want to expand their club space or get their club space after they create their own club, right?
When Nana hears Shishio's words, she nods and begins to feel strange with this clubroom because she also knows that as a non-official club, there is no way a literature club can get this room.
"Then the question is, how can the literature club maintain its current condition after most of its members have graduated, leaving only Ashihara-senpai as its members?" Shishio then looked at Kiriya and said, "The answer is you, Sensei. You are the reason why the literature club can still maintain its clubroom today."
Kiriya nodded with a smile and said, "A fascinating deduction, but you should know that your deduction doesn't even tell us why you think that I'm a writer, right?"
"This is just the beginning, please be patient Sensei. Let me explain slowly, what other strange things are in this room" Shishio said.
Nana and Miu looked around curiously, wondering if there were any other strange things in this club room.
"What's the other weird thing? Tell us quickly!" Nana said and shook Shishio's shoulder.
Kiriya, on the other hand, smiled and did not say much, but she thought Shishio was attractive.
"The other strange things in this room are so obvious!" Shishio pointed his finger at the person sitting in the middle of the table. "That's you, Sensei! Your presence in this room is strange."
"!!!"
Nana and Miu were stunned and looked at Shishio and Kiriya at the same time.
Kiriya chuckled and said, "It's rude to call your teacher weird, Oga-kun, but please tell me your reason why you think my presence in this room is weird, if your answer doesn't satisfy me, then I'll have you." join this club and also invite at least three more people, no, five people to join this club as well." He raised his palm, indicating that he needed to invite five people into the club room if his answer could not satisfy him.
"Interesting." Shishio smiled and did not hate this kind of challenge, or rather, he wanted to make it more interesting. “Sensei, that's not fair to me. If I lose then I have to invite five people to join this club, but what if you lose? As someone who proposes such a bet, you should also prepare yourself what you would give me if you lost, right?"
Kiriya's smile was even wider and said, "Interesting, I love your challenge. Tell me what do you want? As long as it's in my power, I'll do my best to grant your wish."
"......."
Nana and Miu were stunned as they did not expect that it would suddenly turn into a confrontation between Shishio and Kiriya.
"Pulse... Oga-kun, Kiriya-sensei..." Miu realizes that the situation may be out of control which is why she wants to stop them.
"It's okay, it's part of the club's activities and the stakes are just games between students and teachers, there's nothing strange about this, right?" Kiriya looked at Shishio.
Shishio nodded wisely and said, "As a good teacher, one should know how to encourage his students to work harder and I can see that quality in you, Kiriya-sensei."
"Thank you very much." Kiriya nodded with a smile.
Miu is confused and unsure what to say, but Nana laughs because she finds this situation interesting, however, both know that Shishio and Kiriya are really having fun at the moment.
"Sensei, I have one request," Shishio said.
"What's that?" Kiriya asked.
"You teach Modern Japanese, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Then is it possible for you to give me perfect grades?" Shishio immediately opened his lion mouth.
"What?!" 2x
Miu and Nana are taken aback by Shishio's request because no one thought he would ask Kiriya to give him perfect grades, but...
Kiriya shook her head and said calmly, "That bet is unfair to me and I don't want too many members in the club room to change your request." He can ask Shishio to invite more people to make the stakes fair, but he doesn't because if there are too many members, there are too many, it would be difficult to control the literature club so it is better to limit the number of members and he also does not really like crowded places.
"Hmmm..."
Shishio thought for a moment and felt a little disappointed that he could not ask for such a request, but he did not think too much and asked for a different request, "Sensei, you've told Nana that it's okay to bring manga. here, right?"
Kiriya looked at Shishio for a moment and asked, "Yes, I've already said that, so what do you want to bring?" She could most guess what Shishio wanted to ask so she directly asked him.
"Well, I might bring something like a wooden sword, a guitar, or...." Shishio looked at Nana and asked, "Nana, is there something you want to bring to school?"
"Eh?" Nana was a little surprised when asked so suddenly, but she thought for a moment and said cheerfully, "I want to bring a TV and a game console!"
"What?!"
Miu was astonished and wondered how this club room would become their home!
"Good, I agree." Kiriya nodded without hesitation.
"Sensei!" Miu quickly shouted.
"Stranquil, Ashihara-kun." Kiriya smiled and said calmly, "Our clubs are quite loose, and as long as they don't cause too much noise and play with consideration, then everything is fine, and lastly, it's all right, I might not be the one to go. to lose." He looked at Shishio and said, "We have made a deal, Shishio-kun. If you lose then you have to bring at least five people to join the club."
"Agreed."
Shishio nodded directly, afraid that Kiriya would change his terms, after all, there were many loopholes to Kiriya's request.
"Oh, by the way, you should bring five of them in at least a month, okay?" Kiriya said with a smile.
"....."
Shishio moved his lips but did not say much because he did not think that he would lose.
"Then I will tell you now, why is the presence of Kiriya-sensei in this room strange?"
This confrontation may have been the first confrontation to take place in the literature club and a decade later, it would have been inscribed in the literary club's anthology as the "Talk of the Literature Club".
