Yuzu senpai is cute.

Today is, as always, a fun literature club activity, but…

The person in question, Yuzu senpai, was quite something.

“…Mmh, mmh, mmh!”

Right on top of my lap, she was terribly grumpy.

Let me say it again.

Yuzu senpai was angry right on top of my lap.

She climbed onto my lap as I sat in the chair, using a style today where she had her back turned to me.

Even though her back was turned to me, she was looking away in a huff, which made her puffed-up cheeks visible and extremely cute.

Being cute even when she’s angry is a cheat code.

“Um, senpai…?”

“The heck with that.”

Isn’t saying that out loud way too cute?

However, no matter how cute she is, the fact that she’s angry is real.

I think I’ll explain why Yuzu senpai ended up like this.

Yes, there was a reason deeper than the sea and higher than the mountain behind this.

It’s a long story, but…


“Sorry, Kakeru… Could you lend me the literature club’s chair again? A media interview for our club just got scheduled out of nowhere…”

“Sure.”


That was how it went.

In other words, the chair in this literature club room had been reduced to just one once again.

And failing to consult Yuzu senpai about it was my biggest blunder.

That was why Yuzu senpai was on my lap again today.

And why she was even angrier on top of that.

“…You really, seriously.”

“I’m sorry…”

“What do you think my resolve is?”

“Eh, what resolve?”

“…S-Shut up!”

I got scolded.

Right in the middle of being scolded, I somehow managed to get scolded even more.

Yuzu senpai being angry is a fresh and cute experience, but I prefer Yuzu senpai when she’s smiling.

I want Yuzu senpai to keep smiling forever.

“…As punishment, Kido-kun is going to be my chair all day today!”

Though it kind of feels like business as usual.

“Listen here! This is a punishment, okay! I’m only doing this because I have no choice, okay! This isn’t my own free will, okay! You’re the one who said you’d become a chair in the first place, you know!”

That was an incredible amount of heavy emphasis.

Of course, the answer to that was already decided.

“Yes! With all my heart and soul, I will become Yuzu senpai’s chair!”

“With all my heart and soul, I will become a chair” is some pretty wild phrasing.

Still, if this puts Yuzu senpai in a better mood, I am prepared to invent brand-new phrasing if I have to.

“W-Well then… Since you’re a chair starting now… don’t move, okay?”

“Yes! No matter what happens, I won’t budge!!”

Pointing out that I’d been a chair the whole time since earlier would be pedantic, so I decided to keep my mouth shut.

“D-Don’t move, alright…?”

“Yes. Sen… pai…?!?”

Squeeze, squeeze.

Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.

Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze-squeeze-squeeze.

Senpai’s tiny hands, both of those hands, each grabbed hold of mine.
