After teasing the calm-faced Kato-san, Lin Mu didn't see any other expression on her face.
Even her troubled expression showed no change; it was still that delicate little face, appearing calm and natural.
This made one wonder if she was expressionless.
Or perhaps, this was a 'san-mu' girl: speechless, heartless, expressionless, as if nothing was worth her concern, thus appearing incredibly calm.
Cute is cute, so Lin Mu had a mind to make her show more expressions. Would bullying her bring about a change?
Moreover, Kato Megumi was very special; people around her would subconsciously ignore her.
With this talent, she would be absolutely amazing if she became an assassin.
"Lin Mu-san, are you interested in soccer? I feel like your stamina is excellent, and you seem very suited for sports."
While he was thinking, Hayama Hayato next to him smiled and came over to talk.
Hayama had noticed his excellent performance in physical education and wanted to attract outstanding new members for his club.
However, Lin Mu waved his hand, looking uninterested. "I'm sorry, Hayama-kun, I'm a loyal member of the going-home club. I'm not interested in soccer."
"Eh, that's really a shame. Lin Mu-san, do you never plan to join a club?"
"Not necessarily. Does our school have any beautiful girl clubs? If so, I'd be quite interested."
"Uh… as far as I know, clubs with more girls are probably the Cooking Research Club, but they only recruit girls."
Hayama Hayato said awkwardly, earning a roll of Lin Mu's eyes.
"Do I look like a girl? Skip that club. Are there any others?"
Hayama shrugged helplessly, "Then there's only the Tennis Club, I guess. Totsuka-classmate from our class is also in it."
"Totsuka Saika? That's a cute boy, I refuse. Are there any others?"
"Then there are none. Currently, these are the most prominent clubs in our school. If you're looking for clubs with many beautiful girls, you'll have to check the second year."
"After all, school just started, and many people are members of the going-home club and haven't joined any club activities."
"However, next week all clubs will hold recruitment events. If Lin Mu-san is interested, you can visit then. Maybe you'll find something you like?"
Lin Mu heard this, waved his hand at him, and casually replied.
"We'll see then. I still have to write, so I really don't have time."
He didn't want to be a show-off at school like Hayama Hayato.
With that energy, he'd rather hug Little Angel Mahiru more at home. Why play ball?
"Kato-san, have you joined any clubs at school?"
Lin Mu suddenly poked the waist of the girl at the front desk.
Kato Megumi raised an eyebrow, turned around to look at him, her expression a little strange.
She felt that Lin Mu was too lacking in boundaries, actually poking her, a girl, in the waist with his hand.
Although she found it novel that someone would touch her like this, she still intended to answer his question.
"No, even if I joined a club, I'd be forgotten the next day and become a non-existent ghost member."
The girl's tone was calm, but Lin Mu still detected a hint of resentment in her expression.
Lin Mu smiled and invited, "In that case, why don't you join my club?"
"Eh?" The girl tilted her head, "But didn't you say you weren't joining any clubs? Although it's a bit rude, I heard your conversation with Hayama-classmate."
"Can't I start my own club? Since I couldn't find a club I was interested in joining, I had no choice but to start my own."
Lin Mu stated his idea directly, then looked at her steadily, "How about it, want to join?"
"Hmm… I don't have any problem with it, but… I'm not a beautiful girl either, am I? The club you want should be one with beautiful girls, right?"
Kato Megumi's tone was still calm, but it sounded a little lacking in confidence.
Lin Mu seriously placed his hand on her shoulder and said earnestly, "No, actually, you *are* a beautiful girl. Why do you have the misconception that you're not?"
"Uh, if I heard correctly, Lin Mu is complimenting me?"
"Yes, you heard correctly! So join, or you'll face the consequences!"
...
Kato Megumi was a little speechless. Is this an invitation?
It's already a threat!
"Alright, I'll join. But when are you going to apply to establish the club? And what activities will your club mainly do?"
After all, she was complimented as a beautiful girl, which made her a little happy.
Although Lin Mu looked like he had ulterior motives, and his eyes were a bit lecherous, being noticed by someone was still a good experience.
For someone who had always been ignored and overlooked, Kato Megumi, though she didn't say it, also wanted to be popular.
But with her special constitution, just being remembered was good enough; wanting to be popular was a pipe dream.
One must learn to accept fate. After so many years, Kato Megumi had long grown accustomed to the feeling of being overlooked.
Seeing Kato Megumi agree, Lin Mu immediately showed a satisfied expression.
"Good for you for being sensible… ah, no, I mean, welcome to our Offline Gaming Enthusiasts Club."
"Offline Gaming Enthusiasts Club? Um, what does it mainly do? Play games together?"
Kato Megumi, like a curious baby, calmly raised her hand to ask.
"Exactly! Playing games is one part of it, but specifically, it's about creating and releasing games for profit, achieving financial freedom, and reaching the pinnacle of life!"
"Wow, that sounds amazing." Kato Megumi clapped her hands, her tone so calm that it sounded like she was just humoring him.
But it was not a big problem.
Lin Mu only needed her to join.
With contact, he would have the opportunity to make a move on her, to engage in appropriate acts of closeness.
However, establishing a club required at least three people, so he decided to bring in Shiina Mahiru as well.
How could his club activities be complete without Little Angel Mahiru?
Hmm, he also needed a club advisor, and Kirisu Mafuyu was the one!
Hayama Hayato next to him was a bit speechless listening to Lin Mu threaten Kato Megumi.
Turns out this guy looked down on the clubs at school.
Because there were no clubs with beautiful girls to join, he was already creating one and pulling beautiful girls into it?
Good heavens, he's so good at this!
But, Kato Megumi? Looking closely, she was indeed quite pretty, but why had he never noticed her before?
Hayama Hayato felt that Kato-san was a bit strange, so he subconsciously averted his gaze.
A girl whom even a normie like him couldn't remember, it was better to keep a distance.
Furthermore, Hayama Hayato was most afraid of clubs with many beautiful girls.
He didn't plan to date in high school, or rather, he had always secretly admired Yukino Shitayuki and didn't intend to accept any girl's affections.
As for Miura Yumiko, he only considered her a friend, after all, Miura-san was the best shield, wasn't she?
With Miura-san around, no girl would dare to confess to him.
