Join the Anime Club

Lin Yuxuan hadn’t woken up early enough to prepare lunch this morning.
So, the white-haired girl decided it was time for some shameless mooching.

My sweet angel Mu Yue must’ve brought something delicious! Rich girl~ I’m hungryyy! Food pleaseee~

But thinking about club interviews made her hesitate—she really didn’t want to be “interviewed” by that perverted senior Rin again.
Better to get a recommendation from someone she knew.

Time to visit Class Monitor Dong Qian!

Though they weren’t super close yet,
what better way to bond than asking for help?

Besides, her original self had been quite popular in class. Asking for favors shouldn’t be too hard.

“You want to join the anime club? Alright then, just fill out an application and I’ll approve it.”

“Thanks~”

“No problem. Not many people are applying these days anyway… and we haven’t even officially announced recruitment. But if you’re serious, come with me—I need to head back to the club now. I don’t have any forms on me.”

Dong Qian felt a bit puzzled.
How did Lin Yuxuan even know she could approve new members?
She never told anyone she was co-president of the club…
Maybe someone else told her?

Still, since she was a classmate, helping her out wasn’t a big deal.

As class monitor, it was kind of her job.

Dong Qian belonged to the cosplay division of the anime club, so she led Yuxuan there.

Since the anime club was formed by merging two older clubs, having separate activity rooms wasn’t unusual.

Yuxuan followed Dong Qian to the media building.
Once classrooms, now repurposed into club spaces.
The hallway buzzed with students—you saw musicians carrying instruments hoping to form bands, card players clutching decks ready to bet everything, and even a girl in yellow holding a wand, wearing a magical girl outfit without explanation…

Finally, they reached a door labeled *Cosplay Activity Room.*

Dong Qian pushed it open.

Before entering, Yuxuan imagined what the room would look like based on stereotypes:

A chaotic mess of costumes, strange people, anime posters on every wall, everyone spewing otaku slang nonstop.

But when the door opened… none of that was there.

Just one purple-haired woman in a tank top and shorts, sitting at a computer playing games.

That purple hair looks so familiar…

At the sight of her, memories from the simulator rushed back.

“Rin… why are you dressed like this…”

Dong Qian sighed.
Sure, it’s fine when you’re alone—but showing off like this in front of a newbie isn’t professional at all.

“Haaah… it’s comfortable~”

The tall, purple-haired beauty took a sip of milk tea, then turned around and froze.

There stood Dong Qian—with a stunning white-haired girl beside her.

“Hmm? Who’s this?”

“She’s our new member. Let me find the application form—I think it’s in your drawer.”

Dong Qian began rummaging through the desk drawers.

Meanwhile, Rin kept staring at Yuxuan.

“Hi~ Ahaha…” Yuxuan awkwardly waved, unnerved by Rin’s intense violet eyes.

Why won’t she stop looking at me like that?! It’s making me blush!

Yuxuan hated being stared at—it always made her nervous.
After a while, she couldn’t help but smile shyly despite herself.

But Rin’s gaze slowly drifted downward.

Her eyes lingered on Yuxuan’s chest—the pair of soft mounds bouncing slightly with each breath.

This overly suggestive stare made Yuxuan even more flustered. She tried covering them with her arms, but her slender limbs were no match for their generous size.

Dong Qian finally noticed the tension in the air and turned around.

Only to see Rin giving the newcomer that look.

“RIN!”

Dong Qian blushed furiously.

She couldn’t accept this—her most admired senior was practically harassing a new member!

You’ve never looked at me like that before!

The thought sent a pang of insecurity through her heart.

“Huh? Oh sorry…”

Rin snapped out of it, dazed.

This white-haired girl looked exactly like the one from her dreams!

White hair, blue eyes, and those curves—everything she liked most!

Dong Qian crossed her arms proudly, scolding Rin like a mother hen.

“Senior Rin, act more like a proper girl! Stop spending all day gaming and checking out pretty girls! Real girls should have more refined hobbies!”

“Oh? You mean… ‘proper girls’ should only enjoy things that proper girls do? But aren’t proper girls still girls? If I like girls, isn’t that perfectly natural logic?”

Rin raised her chin proudly.

“You… how dare you talk back!”

Dong Qian delivered a sharp elbow strike to Rin’s head.
A glowing red bump instantly popped up, and Rin collapsed dramatically.

Dong Qian finally found the form and handed it over.

“Did you finish filling it out?”

Yuxuan, still shaken, quickly handed back the completed form. (No way she wanted to be elbowed too.)

Dong Qian signed it casually.

“Take this to Mu Yue for approval. The club seal is with her. Once done, you’re officially a member.”
She didn’t feel threatened by Yuxuan at all—after all, Rin usually lost interest within minutes.
And besides, she was confident in her own charm.

“Got it. Thanks~”

“Wait, before you go.”

“Class monitor…? Something wrong?” Yuxuan blinked innocently with her sapphire eyes.

“Can you deliver this month’s financial report to Mu Yue for me?”

“Sure thing, no problem!”

It was on the way anyway—just across the hall from the art club’s room.

Plus…
she was excited to see Mu Yue.

After leaving the cosplay room, Yuxuan received a surprising notification.

[Your simulation attempts increased by +1.]

[New simulation target unlocked: Toomo Rin]

“Whoa!”
So interacting with characters from the simulation added new chances?

Meeting them in real life unlocked new targets too!

If seeing Mu Yue also gives me another attempt…

I might never run out of simulations~
