Chapter 369 Official Announcement
This was the first time Uchimaki Subaru and Usami had encountered a situation like this, and combined with Usami's expression at the moment, they were basically exposed.
Scratching his cheek, Uchimaki Subaru finally showed a helpless smile and said, "I told you, Usami, we were definitely going to get caught."
After Uchimaki Subaru spoke, Usami also sighed, saying gloomily, "But this wasn't how I wanted to be found out! How did we get exposed just by going out once?"
Eriri said proudly, "Hmph, hmph, this is all fate! Who told you to be so secretive, Mizuki, without even telling me? And here I was, worrying about you all this time!"
"Ugh..."
Usami's cheeks became even redder. She took several deep breaths, then stood up abruptly and shouted, "Ah, forget it! If you're going to talk, then talk!"
Just as everyone was watching her, waiting for her next statement, Usami got scared, immediately sat back down, and tugged at Uchimaki Subaru's clothes next to her.
"Uh... alright, I'll say it then."
To be honest, Uchimaki Subaru didn't think Usami could really say it directly in front of everyone, and he had already prepared himself to say it.
"Well, it's pretty much what Asakura-kun and the President saw, Usami and I have indeed started dating."
After Uchimaki Subaru said it, Usami raised her hand to cover her crimson face, while everyone else started applauding.
"Eh? Eh?"
Colette was slow to catch on, and looking at Uchimaki Subaru and Usami, she asked, "Senpai, when you say 'dating,' do you mean *that* kind of dating?"
Uchimaki Subaru nodded: "Yes, exactly that."
"Ehhh!!!!"
Colette finally understood, her eyes wide as she looked at the two and asked, "Then did you kiss? Like, a smoochy kiss!"
"Pfft!!! Cough cough cough!!!"
He choked on his breath.
Looking at the continuously coughing Uchimaki Subaru, Colette still stared at him, but seeing that Uchimaki Subaru didn't answer, she then turned her gaze to Usami: "Senpai, did you two really..."
Finally, Utaha couldn't take it anymore, and she patted Colette's head, making her quiet down.
Clapping his hands, Kaede said with a smile, "Well, although you two secretly kept it from us for a while, it's a good thing regardless.
We wouldn't really do anything, it's good that it's confirmed."
Eriri also came over and sat beside Usami, saying with a smile, "Hehe, Mizuki must have been so nervous, right?"
"Eriri!"
Usami turned around indignantly, grabbing Eriri's twin tails: "Couldn't you have asked me privately?"
"Ah! Wouldn't that be boring?"
Quickly grabbing Usami's hands, Eriri closed her eyes and rapidly said, "Besides, Mizuki, you were the one who kept it a secret from me first, so you can't blame me! Ah ah ah, Kaede-kun, save me!"
Watching them Messing around, Kawashima Ami looked at Utaha and quietly asked, "Are they always this lively during club activities?"
"Today is a special situation, but this kind of thing happens every few days," Utaha nodded and said, "If you're bored, coming here is quite rewarding.
Now I have more material to collect."
"..."
Kawashima Ami couldn't help but move a little to the side.
She felt that everyone here was even more exaggerated than herself; her hidden side seemed… really ridiculous in front of them.
The news of Uchimaki Subaru and Usami starting to date was completely exposed, and everyone was suddenly enthusiastic, chasing after the two and asking who officially confessed.
And just as they were about to find out, there was a knock on the activity room door.
"I'll get it!"
Colette was the first to stand up, skipping towards the door.
"Coming, coming!"
After the door opened, Teacher Koyama, the club advisor, stood smiling at the doorway and said, "Oh, it seems very lively today."
"Teacher Koyama." Everyone stood up.
Although Teacher Koyama didn't come to the club often, everyone was very familiar with him.
And behind Teacher Koyama, there was also a young teacher.
After entering, Teacher Koyama said with a smile, "I came today to tell everyone something: I will be stepping down as the Art Club advisor, and Teacher Tachibana Yumeko, who is beside me, will take over.
Teacher Tachibana is a new teacher who just joined our school not long ago, so you all must get along well with her!"
Everyone was not surprised by Teacher Koyama's resignation; after all, he was quite old, and it seemed he even had a granddaughter already.
He was probably planning to retire in a few years, and the school certainly wouldn't arrange too much work for him, so it was normal to find a new teacher to take over.
As everyone's gaze turned to her, Tachibana Yumeko, wearing glasses, nervously stood up straight and introduced herself: "Hello everyone, please take care of me from now on."
"Hello, Teacher Tachibana!"
After greeting, Teacher Koyama said to the new person beside him, "Teacher Tachibana, everyone in the Art Club are good children and very excellent.
You've just arrived at Toyosaki, and being the advisor here will definitely help you.
Good luck, I'll head back now."
"Yes! I will do my best!"
After seeing Teacher Koyama off, Teacher Tachibana clearly felt a bit constrained.
Seeing this, the President smiled and said, "Teacher, you don't have to be like this.
Everyone in the Art Club is very casual; you don't even have to treat this as work, just relax."
"Exactly, isn't it good to be relaxed?" Eriri said with a smile, "The Art Club activities are very fixed; you don't need to think too much about complicated things.
Just follow your preferences step by step."
Under everyone's repeated persuasion, Teacher Tachibana slowly relaxed and said with a smile, "Yes, I understand, thank you everyone.
But, haven't you started your activities yet today?"
When asked this, everyone's gaze returned to Uchimaki Subaru and Usami.
Usami, who had thought she had escaped, was caught off guard by the sudden turn.
Blushing, she broke free from Eriri's hands, returned to her chair, and took out her paintbrush: "Alright, alright, no more talking, it's time to draw!"
"Oh~~~ Mizuki, you're so stingy, it's just asking about who confessed!"
Pouting, Eriri could only helplessly return to her seat, took out her computer, and started working.
"Hmm? Confession?"
Teacher Tachibana, having just arrived, knew nothing and looked at everyone with a bewildered expression.
Colette walked over at this moment, patted Teacher Tachibana's shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "It's Mizuki-senpai and Uchimaki-senpai, they've started dating, the kind that goes'smooch smooch'!"
"...Eh?!?!?!"
