As a room shielded by magic, the Clubroom was not visible to anyone with magic power. There was only one way to see that door: to be recognized by Asakura, the Secret Keeper.
However, this recognition wasn't strictly rigid, requiring Asakura to see the person and issue a permit in such a rigid manner. Not long ago, when the Magic Society didn't have so many members, Asakura, in order to quickly find magic-related existences, had set up the Clubroom to be visible to 'people who have encountered supernatural events, are troubled by them, and possess magic power.' At that time, he even specifically asked Gokou and the others to spread rumors related to this in their respective schools, hoping to lure in new members with this broad approach.
But since then, no one had seen the Clubroom because of this screening mechanism, and now the Magic Society no longer lacked people to supply him with magic power, so much so that even Asakura himself had forgotten about such a setting.
Unexpectedly, Chihaya Anon, as a transfer student, actually met this condition…
However, Asakura wasn't flustered. He simply replied calmly and with composure: "That's the Magic Club."
"There's actually a club like that?"
Because Asakura's answer was so natural, Chihaya Anon didn't realize anything special. She examined the wooden wall, which had a Miyazaki-esque animation style. The thick moss and several brightly colored mushrooms on it certainly didn't look like plastic decorations: "It seems Soubu High School's atmosphere is much more open than I imagined…"
"The Magic Club undertakes the investigation and resolution of all supernatural incidents. If you need anything, you can go inside and take a look."
Asakura subtly hinted.
Chihaya Anon hesitated for a few seconds but still shook her head.
"I feel like Asakura-kun's tone when talking about the Magic Club is a bit strange. Is there a reason for that?"
The girl looked at Asakura curiously and asked.
"I am, humbly, the president of the Magic Club."
Asakura bowed slightly and spoke with great gentlemanliness.
"Oh, really…"
Chihaya Anon tilted her head in confusion: "Aren't you that…?"
Her face flushed slightly: "The Ser, Service Club person?"
If Yukinoshita Yukino were here, she would definitely redefine the meaning of service with her again.
But Asakura was different.
"It's simply outrageous!"
He said loudly: "The Service Club was founded by a guy named Yukino, and it has only ever had her. But our Magic Club is different. Not only do we have deep cooperation with the Student Council, but we also have work connections with Hiratsuka-sensei. We have many members, each with unique skills, and we are also a major platform for supernatural affairs, highly trustworthy. Compared to us, the Service Club is just a roadside—"
"Asakura-kun seems to have flipped some strange switch, is he really okay?!"
Chihaya Anon looked at Asakura, who was still tirelessly promoting his Magic Club, with polite concern mixed with a hint of wariness, trying to make her voice sound calmer: "This symptom doesn't feel good if it continues. How about we go to the infirmary next and have the school nurse take a look…"
"If Amakusa Student Council President hadn't left just now, there would definitely have been an infirmary segment when the tour progressed to the teaching building."
Asakura said.
"Is this really okay? I'm suddenly worried about my future at Soubu High School…"
"Don't worry, Soubu High School's infirmary is top-notch."
"I'm worried about the Student Council President, not the infirmary!"
The girl retorted.
During their conversation, Asakura's gaze swept across the girl's face, subtly trying to discern something from her expression.
But Chihaya Anon's expression seemed quite natural, and her complexion was rosy, exuding a healthy glow. At least on the surface, the girl didn't seem to have any particular worries.
Asakura wasn't quite sure if the Clubroom's judgment was too lenient, leading to a misjudgment, or if the girl simply had exceptionally good acting skills. In any case, there didn't seem to be any major problems for now, and he didn't need to force her into the Association.
So he decided to contact the other members of the Association later and ask them to discreetly keep an eye on this transfer student when they had time, ensuring she wouldn't engage in any extreme behavior.
After all, as a boy, and with his overly noticeable chuunibyou attire of bandaged hands and heterochromatic eyes, along with his white hair, if he tried to observe her secretly, Chihaya Anon would spot him immediately unless she was blind. However, the other members of the Magic Club were all girls, making it easier for them to approach her…
As the old school building, the club building's area and number of floors were naturally far inferior to the new school building. Moreover, apart from the Clubroom, the structure of all other floors was completely identical, so touring the club building didn't take much time.
Asakura then took the girl to the new school building. Besides taking her to the teacher's office, he also planned to show her as much of the school as possible before the end of lunch break.
"Oh, by the way, Anon, you said earlier that you wanted to form a band, right?"
Asakura asked out of the blue.
"Yes, I do plan to… Student bands seem to be quite popular lately…"
Chihaya Anon answered subconsciously, but then she added: "But I'm not very familiar with it, so it's still in the planning stage… Haha…"
"Then, Anon, what position do you plan to take in the band?"
Asakura continued to ask curiously: "Forward or defender? Or a roaming ball?"
"No, no, those aren't positions a band should have at all, are they?"
The girl looked at the serious Asakura and couldn't help but retort: "And what's that last one, 'roaming ball'? It sounds vaguely dangerous…"
"Just kidding."
"I guessed as much…"
"So, are you an assault trooper, an engineer, or a medic?"
"The level of danger has increased?!"
Chihaya Anon had a black line on her forehead. She felt that if she didn't interrupt Asakura's rhythm soon, he would lead the conversation astray, so she quickly said: "I learned guitar before, so I plan to be the guitarist… Of course, it's also normal to be the lead vocalist while being the guitarist, right?"
"…Heh~"
Asakura stroked his chin, making a thoughtful sound.
"I don't have high demands for members either. After all, everyone is a beginner, so it will definitely take some time to get used to each other before we can perform normally—"
Chihaya Anon seemed to remember something and asked: "By the way, what month is Soubu High School's school festival?"
"June."
Asakura answered without hesitation.
"Isn't that this month?!"
The girl's eyes widened, somehow giving off the impression of a chihuahua.
"Yes."
Asakura nodded.
"Ah, it seems I won't make it to perform at the school festival…"
The pink-haired girl sighed, then she looked up at the hallway in front of her. At the end of the hallway was the teacher's office: "Ah, I know the way from here. Thank you, Asakura, for showing me. See you later."
