This was probably the same idea as the dumplings: having her own social circle in class, and also having good girlfriends in the Service Club, with the two sides not interfering with each other.
Indeed, My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected is a reference book for youth.
"So, I, who you've never interacted with, am the most suitable candidate…"
Anri Hitomi smiled and raised a finger, continuing to speak.
"Of course, the most important point is that Kuroba-kun, you love to read, don't you? You even come to the High School Library during summer vacation to read."
"You saw me."
Upon reflection, Anri Hitomi indeed hadn't asked Akira why he was at High School during the summer vacation, which meant she knew his purpose for coming to High School from the beginning.
Although Akira himself knew he was just there to practice the local language, in the eyes of others, someone who came to High School to read during summer vacation must be someone who loved reading a lot.
"Not just saw, though."
"Hmm?"
"Kuroba-kun, why don't you guess why the High School Library is open during summer vacation?"
"Ha…"
So that was it.
This also answered why Anri Hitomi was at High School during the summer vacation.
Akira could just pack up and go home after reading every day, but the Class Rep had to carefully lock the Library door.
However, Akira remembered that the Library administrator was supposed to be a quiet, aloof girl from the next class. Most likely, she was also a member of the Literary Club, which was why she asked the Class Rep to help manage the Library during the summer vacation.
Or perhaps the Class Rep knew that Akira often came to the Library, so she volunteered for the task, wanting to see if Akira's love for books was genuine.
So Anri Hitomi had also observed Akira throughout the summer vacation, confirmed that he wasn't just a show-off, and then came to talk to him on the last day of summer vacation.
In other words, Akira had actually spent the entire summer vacation with the Class Rep, he just hadn't noticed it himself.
"Also, Kobayakawa-sensei also said that I, as the Class Rep, should take care of the solitary Kuroba-kun and ideally help you make a hundred friends."
Kobayakawa-sensei… Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not named Komi, and I don't need that many friends.
"So, if I first become friends with Kuroba-kun, and then invite you to join our club, it can not only help Kuroba-kun make more friends but also help the Literary Club overcome its difficulties. Isn't this a good idea that kills two birds with one stone?"
"I haven't said I'll join yet."
"Although our Literary Club has few members, the members are all beautiful girls who are among the best in the entire High School, you know?"
"Oh, compared to you, Class Rep?"
"Hmm… I think our appearances each have their own merits… but it's worth mentioning that I'm not the biggest in our club, Kuroba-kun, you know what I'm talking about, right? Not age."
"…" Bigger than the Class Rep's chest? That's over-developed, isn't it?
"And the club advisor just happens to be our homeroom teacher, Kobayakawa-sensei. You're more familiar with her, and she's always been very concerned about you. If she sees Kuroba-kun join the Literary Club, she'll definitely be especially happy, maybe even happy enough to hug you directly… Hmm, Su Zi-sensei is very mature as a woman."
"…" Breast milk?
"And most importantly, the Literary Club currently has no boys. Kuroba-kun, don't you want to experience being surrounded by beautiful girls?"
"…" A personal harem?
Class Rep, Class Rep, are you a succubus who understands men's hearts?
Is this club of yours really legitimate?
Why does it sound like a brothel in the red-light district?
