Slow Start ch71

p1
>Hana-chan~

>Do you have a moment?
>Uh, yeah.

>Ah, were you in the middle of studying?
>It's fine.
>I've finished with all my preparation and review, and I've made plans with Tama-chan. I'm just studying because I've got nothing else to do at the moment.

>You're such a good girl, Hana-chan.
>Ehehe~

>You're a good girl...
>but shouldn't you get some kind of hobby...?
>Eh?

p2
>Aren't you guys in any clubs?

>Clubs, huh?
>Are there any you're interested in?
>Ah.
>N-Not in particular, but...

>I figured Tama-chan would be in a cookery club
>and Kamuri-chan would be in a music club...

>And Eiko-chan...
>I make accessories
>It's a secret

>Erm...
>Ah

>She'd be in a pickup club or something?
>The heck is that?

>Or an unclassified club?
>The heck is that?

p3
>Club activities, huh...
>Oh.

>Are you finally gonna join the cookery club, Tama-chan?
>You gonna enter competitions?
>Aim for the nationals?
>Woah~
>Sounds like youth.

>But still...

>I do enjoy cooking in itself...
>but I'm more than satisfied just cooking at home...
>Ah, that's right.
>You make all the meals at your house, Tama-chan.

>It'd be tough to cook for club activities and then again when you get home.
>It's something I want to spend a lot of time on, after all.
>If I did both, it'd end up being half-assed.

>Good girl, Tama.
>Yeah. So cool.
>Oh.
>Am I getting a wave of compliments?

>Fufufu

>Half-assed!!
>Fufufu
>Are you perhaps embarrassed?
>You can choose other words, y'know.

p4
>What about you, Kamuri-chan?
>Yep.
>I...

>already have so many lessons so I wouldn't be able to do club activities every day.
>It's such a pain.
>I see...

>I'm in a similar position
>since I'm always helping my mom.
>Uuuh

>I-I'm sorry. I'm the only one who's bored...
>and doesn't have any hobbies...
>There there.

>But why'd you bring up clubs all of a sudden?
>Ah.
>Well, y'see...

>Is it about the club t-shirts for the school festival?
>Eh?
>U-U-U-Um...
>Yeah...

>Uuuuh
>That reason's no good.
>Everyone's working so hard for their clubs and I'm only focused on the t-shirts.
>Not to mention...

>I plotted to make one of you guys join a club so I could tag along...
>Tactician.
>Uuuuh, I'm sorry!

p5
>Hmm
>I don't think you really need an excuse, though.

>Whether it's to get a t-shirt
>or anything at all.
>Yep.

>From there, you can find your talent and become a pro.
>A pro!
>That kinda thing can happen too.

>Isn't there anything that you wanna do, Hana?
>Erm...

>For starters, I can't do anything that involves running.

>Or pretty much any kind of sport for that matter...

>Or pretty much anything that requires having stamina...

>I'd like to try anything besides any of those!
>Process of elimination...
>Turning a negative into a positive...

p6
>I see. I see.

>In that case, Hana-chan,
>how about one of these clubs?
>Let's see...

>Ah.
>The gardening club might be nice.

>Takahashi-san's a member too...
>Takahashi-san
>is so kind.
>Yeah.
>Sounds great, no?

>There we go.
>There we go.

>Eeeeek~

>AAAAH! HANA-CHAN!!!

p7
>You can't!!
>Eh?

>The gardening club is dangerous!!
>R-Really now?

>I-In that case...
>the cookery club...?

>>cabbage

>EEK!

>HANA-CHAAAAAAAAANNNN!!!

>You can't!!!
>Eh?
>The cookery club is dangerous for Hana-chan too!!
>Eeeh?

>Aha. You're so overprotective, Tama.
>Then what would be alright with you?
>Hmm, let's see...

p8
>The arts and craft club
>or something...

>When you think of arts and crafts, you think NEEDLES
>When you think of needles, you think MOSQUITOES

>peeeeep
>AAAAAAAAAAH

>Ah.
>Kamu-chan, there's a mosquito.

>Eh!?
>Eh?
>>Didn't catch it.
