Hi, Monika here!
Welcome to the Literature Club! It's always been a dream of mine to make something special out of the things I love. Now that you're a club member, you can help me make that dream come true!
Every day is full of chit-chat and fun...

"What?!" the four of them exclaimed in unison.
Alright, they were all being a bit melodramatic. But to be fair, Monika's expression at that moment was reminiscent of a corpse. They were now sitting in a circle, tension hanging thick in the air.
Monika Asano. A girl who embodies both brains and beauty, she is often seen as the epitome of perfection. Her thigh-length brown hair is tied up in a high ponytail adorned with a large white bow, and her emerald eyes has the power to mesmerize anyone. Everything about her is remarkable, from her stellar academic performance to her achievements in sports. Naturally, she is popular among the students, but her club... not so much.
Now, Monika had her head lowered, an unprecedented sight for her friends. "I'm sorry," she said in a quiet, apologetic tone. "I just found out. The school festival has been postponed for a number of reasons."
Sayori looked at Monika with concern, while Natsuki’s mouth hung open in shock. MC stared blankly into the distance, lost in thought.
Yuri was the first to break the heavy silence. "U-um, Monika... at least the festival is postponed and not canceled, right?"
Monika lifted her head and sighed, the weight of the situation evident on her face. "I wouldn't be too concerned if this year isn't our final year here. A postponed festival means it will happen later this year. Yes, we'll have more time to prepare, but we’ll also have less time to attract new members for the club."
"If we can't find at least four more members who aren't third-years by the end of this year, we might end up being the first and last generation of the literature club." Monika looked at each of her members in turn. "None of us want that, right?"
No one said a word, but they all knew she was right.
She leaned back in her chair and murmured, "And here I am, thinking we could do something extravagant for the festival. I'm such a failure as president..."
An uneasy silence settled over the room until Sayori raised her hand. "Mmm... everyone, if I may?"
The others turned to her as she took a deep breath and began. "So, the festival has been postponed. What an annoying setback, right? But so what? Are we going to let ourselves be dragged down by one unexpected obstacle? No, we won't!
"I believe that with everyone's cooperation, we can take the initiative ourselves and find the members we need to keep this club alive. Who's with me?" Sayori smiled encouragingly as she looked around the room.
After a few moments, the MC raised his hand. "I'm with Sayori. The festival is just one way for us to recruit new members. If I remember correctly, none of us even joined the club during a school festival, right?"
Yuri nodded and raised her hand. "I... I agree. There are many ways we can attract members to the club. I'm sure with the right approach, students will be more interested in joining."
