About an hour later, Kiyotaka and his first year followers returned to his dorm room.
His shopping trip with the two girls to Keyaki Mall was nothing but exhausting. Due to his newfound reputation as not only a well known KiyoKei band member, but also a returning strong athlete and someone who destroyed Student Council President Nagumo single handedly in all three of the Commander Events in the sports festival, it was inevitable that he would receive stares again.
Granted, it wasn't the careful and monitoring stares that Kiyotaka had been getting used to for a while from the third years, since Nagumo had pretty much kept his end of the bargain to end them. However, the stares were anything but normal or cheerful.
If Kiyotaka were to describe it as best as he could, it was akin to what Hirata would experience from most of the boys in Class 2B. Kiyotaka had his own share of them even in the White Room too. The stares of jealousy were what they were.
The more he thought about it, the more he began to realise why he had been getting a lot of them. Unsurprisingly, Ichika's behaviour was anything but normal. Constant "flirting" and "teasing" and typical devil behaviour. Combining that with her beauty was sure to give all the males in the school fantasies. In addition to that, Nanase's calm and caring behaviour screamed that of a "very close friend but close to girlfriend" behaviour. She warmed up to Kiyotaka quite a lot during their shopping trip, which in Kiyotaka's opinion, reminded him of a very cute puppy.
Kiyotaka then understood why Ichika kept calling Nanase "Puppy-chan".
Both of those behaviours surrounding him on a shopping trip that looked very much like a date with two girls, combined with Kiyotaka's reputation, easily led to the jealous stares of a lot of the boys that saw them together. An unlucky situation to be in, despite the fact that Kiyotaka didn't care too much about it.
Sighing at the thought of it, he closed and locked the door behind him as Ichika and Nanase roamed around his room, the latter looking around with interest. Kiyotaka noted that it was the first time Nanase had entered his room, whereas Ichika had already been an experienced room intruder.
"Make yourself at home Nanase-chan. Ayanokouji-senpai will be busy cooking up our food so we can have as much fun as we can."
"Please try not to have too much fun. I'm worried about how you even define 'fun' in the first place." Kiyotaka warned as he walked past the two girls to drop the bags of ingredients in the kitchen.
"Pardon our intrusion, Ayanokouji-senpai. I really do hope we're not causing you too much trouble right now."
The nervousness on Nanase's face was warranted since this was likely the first time she'd been in a boys room since she last saw Matsuo Eiichiro. Although she had gotten over his death now, there was still a sense of loneliness present in those diamond blue eyes. Perhaps, she didn't have someone she could really share her stories and opinions with, and at the moment, Ichika was probably the one who lent her a hand.
