A Side Character Trying To Be The Mastermind!

Chapter 4

"My name is Koenji Rokusuke. Being the only heir of the Koenji conglomerate, I am a man who will be responsible for Japanese society in the near future. Pleased to meet you, ladies" Without taking his legs off the desk, Koenji gave his extravagant presentation.

Koenji also gave his warning about punishing ugly things, and soon we came to Kiyopon's turn.

"Um... the next person- please introduce yourself" "Eh?" Kiyopon seemed to be abruptly snapped out of his thoughts, although his face didn't really move in the slightest.

Kiyopon seemed to mentally prepare himself for a few seconds and stood up from his seat, looked around and finally...!

"Well... Um, my name is Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. The, er... there's nothing particular about me, I will do my best to get along with everyone, uh, nice to meet you"

"Pf-" I didn't laugh, okay?

Kiyopon quickly took seat and mom Hirata came to his rescue. "Nice to meet you Ayanokouji-kun. I also want to get along with everyone, so let's do our best!"

'Hirata-kun, don't finish off Kiyopon, please...' Red panda-kun just stared at the window with a blank stare.

Finally free from all the ceremonies and stuff, I was lying face down in my room, completely exhausted from the morning at school.

"I don't want to do anything... I just want to... sink into my bed.... and not... wake up... Ughh"

I reluctantly got up and went to the school, specifically to the place where the clubs were located.

Most of the first year students were enjoying their 100,000 points in stores or cafes, so there weren't many students around the school.

I finally arrived at the room I was looking for, the shogi club.

Just as there were popular clubs like the volleyball club or the soccer club, there were also small clubs like this one, the shogi club, because the only rule to form a club was to have a minimum of three members.

Being an otaku who barely left the house to go to school, I had a lot of free time to spend. One of the things I spent my time on was shogi, and many more board games.

Not to brag, but I'm pretty proud of my board game skills, I think it's the only skill I can honestly rely on.

I slapped both cheeks to motivate myself and finally knocked on the door, a few seconds later, a third year senpai, a student with glasses and a serious expression opened the door.

"A first-year student? ...Hey, did you by any chance end up lost around here?" Senpai looked at me puzzled, well, obviously.

"Um, no, I actually wanted to come check out the shogi club, I'm kind of interested in joining."

"I see, well, the student council was going to run a club fair tomorrow, but I guess you can stop by and see a little."

Senpai stepped aside and let me pass, inside there were 2 girls and one other boy, probably second years.

"By the way, my name is Sato Yūto, third year, class A." "Mori Nene, class D, nice to meet you, Sato-senpai" I gave a small bow.

Senpai's expression changed for a few seconds, but quickly returned to normal. Well, I put that aside and examined the club room.

It wasn't that spacious, but it didn't feel cramped or stuffy either. The two girls were immersed in a game, so they didn't pay much attention to me. The guy who was watching their game quickly spotted me and approached Sato-senpai.
