A Maken-Ki Fanfic

Chapter 11

After a splendid morning, Deimos, Inaho, Himegami and Haruko, after finishing breakfast, headed together towards school.

"Deimos, Inaho-chan, aren't you forgetting something?" Haruko asked with a smile that suggested she knew something they didn't.

Both of them looked at each other confused.

"Not that I know of," Deimos said, raising an eyebrow.

"I don't think so either..." Inaho replied, with the same doubtful expression.

Haruko sighed softly, as if she were dealing with two clueless children, and pulled something out of her bag. It was two bento boxes, one wrapped in a blue cloth and the other in a pink one.

"Your bentos," she said, handing them over.

"Oh, thanks, Haruko," said Deimos.

"Thanks, Haruko-senpai!" Inaho said with a cheerful smile as she received her bento, eyeing it hungrily.

Haruko returned their thanks with a warm smile as they continued on their way. As they got closer to the school, Haruko remembered something and turned to ask them another question.

"Have you decided which club you're going to join?"

"Huh? Mmm... I didn't know we had to join one," replied Inaho. "But I'll join whichever club Deimos-sama joins!"

For a moment, Haruko frowned, but quickly returned to her calm expression.

"And you, Deimos?" she asked, turning to him just as he was distracted, asking Himegami about the book she was reading.

"Me? Well... I'm not sure yet, but I have something in mind... I think," Deimos replied, averting his gaze. In truth, he already knew what club he wanted to create, but he wanted to check something first before announcing it.

Haruko nodded, though she didn't seem entirely convinced.

"Well, if neither of you know yet, maybe you should consider the Kenkeibu," she suggested, pulling out a small pointer stick from her bag.

"The Kenkeibu? What's that?" Deimos asked, raising an eyebrow.

"The Kenkeibu is a department that assists the student council when conflicts arise between students. They act as mediators when there are problems. There's also the Madou Shikkoubu, which helps the Kenkeibu in those tasks. Both groups have merged into a single organization called Maken-ki."

Just as Haruko finished explaining, a strange sound interrupted the conversation. Turning around, they saw two boys approaching, one with black hair and the other with orange hair, both wearing expressions that could only be described as "perverted."

"Hehe, I heard something interesting over here," said the black-haired boy, with a mischievous grin.

"Good morning, Takeru," Deimos greeted, raising a hand in familiarity.

"Good morning, Deimos, Haru-nee!" Takeru responded as Haruko returned the greeting.

"And who's your friend?" Haruko asked, eyeing Kengo with curiosity.

"We don't know him," Deimos and Takeru said in unison, clearly uncomfortable.

"Whaaat?! We sat together yesterday, Inaho-chan!" Kengo protested, pointing indignantly at Inaho, who only smiled innocently at him.

"Ah, forget it!" Kengo growled, trying to maintain his composure. Then, raising an eyebrow, he adjusted his hair, trying to look more presentable. "This is the first time we're meeting formally. You must be the vice president of the student council, right, Haruko-san?"
