[Gakuen K] Kusanagi Izumo Route: A secret welcome Translation

*Translator’s note : MC’s name shall remain as my normal (水嶋ラン) *Gakuen K Masterlist *Spoiler FREE : Translations under cut !

Ran: (...Classes are over for the day.)

Ran: (I’ll be officially joining the Red Club today...)

Ran: (I’m a little nervous about it.)

Ran: (Will it be okay if I just head straight to the Clubroom?)

Ran: (Right! I can ask Yata-kun about it!)

Ran: Hey, Yata-kun!

Misaki: Ack!

Ran: “Ack”? What’s with that reaction…

Ran: (I know that he’s no good with girls, but that reaction’s a little...)

Misaki: W-What? You need something from me?

Kamamoto: Why are you looking at me when you’re talking to her?

Misaki: Shut up! If you’re going to ask me that, then you do the answering instead!

Kamamoto: But you were the one who got approached with a question! So? What’s up?

Ran: (He’s been completely turned into Yata-kun’s personal interpreter...)

Ran: Err, I’m going to be participating in the Red Club’s Activities today and…

Ran: I was wondering if I can just head straight to the Clubroom like this, or if I should go to the Staff Room and notify Anna-sensei about it first.

Kamamoto: So she’s asking, Yata-san.

Misaki: Y-You don’t have to relay everything to me! I can hear just fine!

Misaki: I-I think it’s fine if you just head straight to the Clubroom. Don’t think too much about it.

Kamamoto: Well, the Clubroom will be closed if you head there too early so watch out for that too.

Ran: I see, thank you for telling me. By the way, Yata-kun? Are you heading straight to the Clubroom now too?

Ran: If so, then could I tag along with you inste-

Yata: O-Oi! Let’s go, Kamamoto!

Kamamoto: Huh? Wai- Wait a minute, Yata-san!! ...He ran off…

Kamamoto: Sorry ‘bout that, even though we’re in the same Club and all.

Ran: Not at all. It’s fine, I understand. I’ll just have to head there myself then.

Kamamoto: ‘Kay. See you then. Yata-san and I will head there later.

Ran: I’ve somehow managed to find my way to the Clubroom…

Ran: (Seems like the door’s unlocked.)

Ran: Hello…?

Ran: ……

Ran: ...No reply. Perhaps there’s no one here?

???: Oh. You’re already here?

Ran: Wha-!?

Ran: K-K-Ku, Kusanagi-san!?

Izumo: Yes, I’m “K-K-Ku, Kusanagi-san”! Ain’t ‘cha a lil’ too early? No one’s here at this time.

Ran: I-Is that so...Huh? Wait, but what about you?

Izumo: I’m not counted since I’m not a student of Super Ashinaka Gakuen anymore. ‘Sides-

Izumo: I’m working here so I’ve got to come in early to prepare things before opening hours. Here, hurry and come on in.

Ran: Oh, right! Sorry!

Ran: (The Clubroom feels really huge now that we’re the only people in here...)

Ran: (It’s really quiet and the place feels a little chilly.)

Izumo: Hey.

Ran: !!

Izumo: You’ve been real jumpy since ‘ya came in. Did somethin’ happen?

Ran: No, nothing happened...I was just thinking about how quiet it is in here right now since it was so lively the last time I came here.

Izumo: Oh? Heh~ Ya’ scared or somethin’? That a ghost may pop out?

Ran: N-No! I did think it was a little chilly in here though…

Izumo: Hahaha. I’m just joking. Well, this place is only quiet now because of how early it is.

Izumo: It’ll get pretty warm once the rest of the Red Club start streaming in. They’re noisy ‘fellas and with the amount of people in here, the cold wouldn’t stand a chance.

Ran: Which means...that I came here at a pretty rare time?

Izumo: Hahaha! That’s a pretty interestin’ thing to say! Well, I guess it is rare, in a sense.

Izumo: Okay. I’ll make you somethin’ that’s only available durin’ this rare time so go take a seat.

Ran: Eh? Is it really okay for you to be doing that?

Izumo: Yeah, wait a lil’.

Ran: (It might have been a right choice to turn up early! I can’t wait!)

Izumo: You did say that it was cold in here, so will a hot drink be cool with ‘ya?

Ran: Oh, of course! That would be great, actually!

Izumo: Understood.

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

Izumo: Sorry to keep you waiting. Here. drink this.

Ran: Hot Milk! Thank you so much!

Ran: Huh? Are these things floating on top Marshmallows?

Izumo: Yup. I tried arranging this drink with the simple mindset that all girls like sweet things.

Ran: I’m really happy since I love sweet things! Here goes then…

Izumo: It’d be great if it’s to your taste, but how’s it really?

Ran: ...Mm! It’s delicious! It’s sweet and warm...It has a really gentle taste to it.

Ran: I never knew that just adding Marshmallows to this would make it taste so much better…

Izumo: I’m glad you like it. There are many different ways you can pair together with Hot Milk but I’ll teach you that another time.

Ran: Really!? I look forward to it!

Izumo: Now then...You’re all smiles now so maybe I’ll clean up ‘round here or somethin’.

Ran: Oh, I’ll help too since you’ve gone through all the trouble to make me such a delicious drink!

Izumo: It’s fine, it’s fine. There’s no need. ‘Sides, today’s your first day participating in the Club, right?

Izumo: You looked real tense when you walked in here earlier so just drink something hot, sit there and relax, yeah?

Ran: Kusanagi-san...Thank you, I guess.

Ran: (He’s being really considerate about me; what a nice person he is...)

Izumo: But that fact that you’re willin’ to help me really moves me to tears.

Izumo: You’re the only one in the entire Red Club who has ever offered to help, ‘ya know?

Izumo: I’d really love to make all of them take a page outta your book…

Ran: (He just referred to me as part of the Club...Does he acknowledge me as one of them now? I’m glad if that’s the case!)

Ran: (Our ages aren’t all that far apart, but he has this real mature vibe around him so it’s really reassuring to talk to him.)

Ran: (Heh, I wonder if this is how having an older brother is like?)

Izumo: …-ey? Heeeeey? Can ‘ya hear me?

Ran: Y-Yes!

Ran: Sorry! I was spacing out…

Izumo: Haha. Don’t worry, I’m not mad or anythin’ so you don’t have to shrink into yourself like that. I’m just glad you aren’t asleep with your eyes open.

Ran: (Ughh...That was really embarrassing...)

Izumo: Do ‘ya need another refill of Hot Milk? You’re already done with your cup, right?

Ran: Huh? I can get it refilled?

Izumo: ‘Course. Oh, but keep this a secret from the rest since they’re not here yet. It’ll be troublesome if they all start naggin’ at me ‘bout how unfair this is.

Ran: Okay, it’s a promise; word of this incident will never get out.

Izumo: Yes, yes. How nice it is that you’re obedient. Wait a lil’ for your refill then.

Ran: Thank you so much again!
