New Term, New Member and New Trauma

New terms are beginning. This term will start with the entrance of first year student to the university. After the entrance ceremony, just like before, many club will try to recruit or invite new students to their club.

“Today is a very important day. We will recruit many new students!”

“That’s right Akemi. We should recruit more people to participate the theatre competition.”

“I think we should make strategies how to attract new students. Arima and Minato-san, do you have any idea?”

“I don’t have any idea, Takeda senpai.”

“Let me help you guys. As your advisor, I will provide you the best idea in the century.”

“What is your idea, Sakura sensei?”

“How about you guys using my picture. You know the cloth that I wear last year.”

“No!” said Fujimiya senpai.

“Why ? We can attract many people using this picture.”

“We will loss this club then, sensei.”

“I think I have an idea.”

“What is it Minami-chan?”

“I will talk about it later, Akemi senpai.”

“Minami, can I ask you something now? Why are you tying me to a chair?”

“Because I need to make sure my plan become success, Youta.”

“What kind of plan you have make Minami? I don’t have good feeling about this.”

“You will see it later. Takeda senpai, you can put that on the table.”

“Alright!”

“Minami-chan, is the thing that you want to do is the same things that I think about right now?”

“I think yes, Akemi senpai. We will start this plan when entrance ceremony over later.”

“Sorry for the wait! Here is the form that new member needs to fill in later.”

“Thank you, Eri! Where is Sakura sensei?”

“She said she have some work she needs to finish.”

“Okay.”

For now, I just siiting while tied to this chair. What is Minami planning that caused me to be in this condition. Then, I realized about it later. I will became out of control in a few minutes later.

“I think entrance ceremony is already over. Look, new students start to be coming here. Should we start our plan now, Minami-chan?”

“Yes! Eri senpai, play that video now! Turn up the volume too!”

“Roger!”

“Minami… the video that you will play now, surely not that video, right?”

“Yes! It’s that video, Youta. That’s why you are being tied to the chair now.”

“I thought that you have delete the video.”

“You need to learn how to survive in this harsh world, Youta.”

“Youta! What happen to you?”

“I don’t know how to explain it. How about your club’s preparation for new students, Hiroshi?”

“We just do the same thing as before. As our president, Noda Wataru senpai said, all we need is confident.”

“I really envy with you, Hiroshi.”

“Why? I think our club is normal. Look at your club! You all must prepare everything. What is this? Is that you in the video, Youta? What is wrong with your weird expression? I don’t think I can look at it anymore. It’s so funny!!”

“Why are you laughing so hard, Hiroshi?! Minami, stop that video before I start screaming!”

“No way, Arima-kun! This video can help us in other to introduce the new student about our new club member.”

“Right, Akemi! Unfortunately, I think this video is nice approach to attract new member.”

“Youta, you need to accept it. Eri senpai and Akemi senpai are supporting my idea.”

“I will scream now.”

Then, Takeda senpai tied the cloth around my mouth.

“Sorry, Arima! I want to help you, but Eri ask me to keep you quiet for now.”

I don’t know if I will be betrayed by my own members. I wonder how other people look at me. Did they not think this would be some weird club? I want to tell them, but I can’t right now.

“But wait, Minami-san is it not weird the people look at Arima-kun later. I think they will misunderstand about our club.”

“We can explain it as our act. In the video, Arima-kun was acting as an enemy. As his condition now, we can say that Arima-kun too immerse with acting until he cant stop acting as enemy.”

“Nice assist, Akemi senpai! Look! There are some new students coming here. Replay the video again!”

“Alright!”

“Masaru, look at that club! There are some weird people there. Why they tie the boy to the chair?”

“Maybe they are just crazy people. I want to join a soccer club. Nana, you can bring Yumi with you if you want to join the club.”

“We should look at the booth first. Look. There is a video playing now. We can decide it after we go there first.”

“Let’s go Masaru, Yumi!”

“Did not I say that I will go to soccer club?”

“Good morning! Are you guys interested in becoming our club members? “

“Can we know what kind of this club? Why he is being tied to the chair?”

“This club is theatre club. I am club president for this club. You can look at this video to see what is our activity that we had done before.”

“That man is so funny! How can he mistake princess for prince? By the way, the hero is good at acting. He also looks handsome. Oh! There he is!”

“Hello. Is my acting good? For your information, that was my first acting. Thank you also for saying that I am handsome. Ouch! Why are you hitting me, Eri?”

“There is nothing!”

I don’t think I can stay quiet anymore. I will stop the video by any means.

“Let me off! I will stop the video!”

“Youta! Can you just hold on for a bit? Believe me! We will done after this.”

“No! I think my mind will become crazy after this.”

“Sorry for disturb, but can I join this club?”

“Nana, you will join this club. “

“Yes, Yumi! Do you want to join me?”

“Okay.”

“Then, I will go to soccer club. Good luck both of you!”

“Senpai, three of us will join this club! Can you give us the form for us to fill in?”

“Wait! I did not say that I will join this club!”

“This is the form that you need to fill in. By the way did everyone free this afternoon?”

“Did anyone hear me? I did not said that I will join theatre club!”

“You should just give up, Masaru. You know that Nana will not stop when she set on the something.”

“This afternoon, Yumi and I did not have any class. But Masaru have appointment will lecturer later.”

“How about tomorrow?”

“If tomorrow, we will okay.”

“Okay then. Direction to our club room, you can look at noticeboard near the study hall.”

“Alright, thank you! See you later senpai!”

“See you later!”

“So, can you guys let me off now? I want to go to toilet now.”

“Right! I forgot about you, Arima-kun!”

“Sorry, Youta!”

“Never mind. I think my future is already dark. Thank you for letting me off. I will go to toilet now.”

“Okay.”

“I think he become trauma after what happen today, Minami-san. Should we try to cheer him up?”

“Right. Wait! Youta just sends me a message. He said that he will go back to his home after this. He said he feels unwell just now. I feel so guilty now.”

“Maybe we can give him surprise present after new member welcoming party tomorrow.”

“I will help, Eri senpai!”

“I think I am also at fault. I will give my help too.”

“So, tomorrow we will have two important things that we need to do. Make sure everyone come tomorrow!”

“Alright club president!!!!”
