Several people introduced themselves to each other and learned each other's names.
"In other words, all three of you are second-year seniors?"
Due to the changing world lines, job opportunities in Japan were decreasing. To address this, the time children spent in kindergarten was extended by three years. As a result, when they entered high school, everyone was already eighteen years old.
This act of delaying new graduates from entering the job market was somewhat ridiculous, but for the children, they did enjoy a few more years of happy childhood.
'Could it be that the guy wasn't lying? He really likes older women?'
"Eh! It seems that's the case!"
Eriri had just realized that she was Shinnosuke's senior, one year older than him, after being reminded by Yukino! But this didn't seem to mean anything. Although she was older than Shinnosuke, in her heart, Shinnosuke was still her master.
"Perhaps Nohara-kun looks more mature, but Nohara-kun is indeed our junior."
Megumi also observed Shinnosuke, recalling her feelings when chatting with him every day via LINE. The man in front of her was not at a low level. No matter what move she made, Shinnosuke could easily handle it.
It was she who was often made to feel her heart pound by a single sentence from Shinnosuke.
Utaha didn't interrupt, continuing to observe silently.
Yukino in front of her was a dazzlingly beautiful girl. Yukino envied Utaha's figure, and Utaha envied Yukino's aura. Both were beautiful girls with long straight black hair, only their attribute points were allocated differently.
"Do the three of you want to join the Service Club?"
In Yukino's initial imagination, Shinnosuke should have invited his two male friends to join the Service Club. She didn't expect him to invite three beautiful female seniors instead.
However, the Service Club needed to have five members to avoid being disbanded. Yukino herself had no friends, so she could only endure it.
But she always felt something was strange. It was clearly a Yorozuya (odd-jobs shop) that helped people solve problems, why did it feel like it would turn into a strange harem club?
Seeing the three of them nod, Yukino took out the prepared membership application forms.
"Fill these out first, I'll give them to Hiratsuka-sensei later."
Watching the three beautiful girls fill out the application forms, Yukino nodded. Now all three of them were official members of the Service Club.
"Since the Service Club has just been established, there are currently no official requests. But I heard from Nohara-kun that Kato-san seems to have a request that the Service Club wants to help with?"
After collecting the three application forms, Yukino automatically ignored Tomoya's request. In her opinion, Tomoya couldn't possibly write a planning proposal seriously.
Being noticed by everyone made Megumi a little uncomfortable, but secretly glancing at Shinnosuke beside her, she still mustered her courage.
"That's right, I do have a request, I hope the president can help me."
Eriri and Utaha were radiant beautiful girls. Back in Toyogasaki High School, both of them were the center of attention at school.
Yukino was also a rare beautiful girl. If the three of them helped, it might make her no longer so ordinary.
"Please go ahead."
Yukino sat up straight. Eriri and Utaha were also very enthusiastic. They didn't expect that just joining the club would allow them to encounter someone else's request.
"Well, since I was little, there's one thing that has always bothered me. For some reason, my presence is lower than that of normal people, often overlooked by others."
Megumi showed a slightly troubled expression, but her tone didn't change, remaining calm as usual.
"Whether it's teachers, classmates, friends, or even family, they unconsciously overlook my existence."
"For example, when cleaning the classroom, I get locked inside, my mother forgets to prepare my dinner or lunch, and even when I have an appointment to meet friends, I still get forgotten."
"So I want to ask for everyone in the Service Club's help to increase my presence, to make me more visible."
Yukino's expression became serious. The Service Club's first request turned out to be this difficult?
"Alright, the Service Club accepts this request. We will do our best to help you solve this problem."
"Since everyone has joined the Service Club, how about we solve this problem together?"
Yukino looked at Eriri and Utaha beside her.
"And I want to state the principle of the Service Club in advance, which is to give a fishing rod rather than fish. Solving the problem is not the key; helping the requester gain the ability to solve the problem is our goal."
Eriri looked uncomprehending but admiring, only feeling that Yukino at this moment was very cool. Utaha beside her wanted to complain, but she held back.
After all, she came to find material, not to cause trouble. If she argued with Yukino, she definitely wouldn't be able to stay here to find material.
"Alright, everyone, use your imagination, try to think if there's any way to help Kato-san increase her presence."
"Megumi's presence is weak? Why don't I feel it? She's clearly a beautiful girl!"
Shinnosuke looked a little strange and asked his question.
"Ah? Shinnosuke, Kato-san's presence is indeed very weak. Even though we ate bento together last time, I don't remember her name."
Eriri was a little incredulous. Megumi was indeed a beautiful girl, but her presence was indeed very weak. How could Shinnosuke not notice it?
"Perhaps Nohara-kun's observation skills are sharper than ordinary people."
Yukino spoke the truth. She knew Shinnosuke was a kendo genius. His kendo level was probably between the first and second dan, which was the beginner level.
But this didn't prevent Yukino from making a judgment, acknowledging that Shinnosuke had extraordinary talent in kendo.
Eriri strongly agreed with this. In another world, Shinnosuke's motor nerves were exceptionally strong. He could clearly become a professional athlete, but instead, he worked in a small company. Several times she really wanted to speak, but she could only bark.
"Kato-san, don't worry, we will definitely find a way to help you. The first thing we need to do is figure out how low your level of presence actually is."
"I also have one more question, has your level of presence always been this low, or has it gradually become like this?"
"It seems it's always been like this. But my presence isn't that low either, it's just that all my friends are still at Toyogasaki High School, and I'm the only one who got into Shuchi'in Academy."
Megumi's character was that of a "passerby A." Because she was so ordinary, she was sometimes overlooked by people, but not to the point of being one hundred percent ignored. If that were the case, she couldn't be called a background character anymore. In Toyogasaki High School, she still had some good friends.
It was just as she said, sometimes when they made plans to go shopping together, she would be forgotten.
