MC chuckles at Sayori's message and sends a reply. MC (text): "No worries, Sayori! Congratulations on the little party in your belly. Take care and let me know if you need anything!" (MC puts his phone away and decides to make himself comfortable in the clubroom. He walks over to the desk and starts organizing some of the books.) MC: "I hope the others show up soon. It's no fun without them." (As MC continues tidying up, he hears a soft knock on the door. He turns around to see Yuri standing there, a shy smile on her face.) Yuri: "Um... hello, MC. I'm sorry for being a bit late. I got caught up with some things." MC: "No worries, Yuri! I'm just glad to see you. How are you doing?" Yuri: "I'm doing okay, thank you. And how about you?" MC: "I'm doing alright. Just waiting for everyone else to show up." (Yuri walks over to the bookshelf and runs her fingers along the spines of the books.) Yuri: "Hmm... it seems you've done a great job organizing these, MC. They look much neater now." MC: "Thanks, Yuri! I thought it would be a good way to pass the time. But they're our club's books, so I wanted to make sure they're well taken care of." (They both share a smile when suddenly Natsuki bursts into the clubroom, panting heavily.) Natsuki: "Sorry, sorry, I'm late! I had to finish something for the baking club before I could come here. Phew..." MC: "No worries, Natsuki! We're just glad you made it." (Natsuki quickly walks over to the closet and starts rummaging through it.) Natsuki: "Ugh, where did I put that manga? Oh, there it is." (Natsuki pulls out a manga and plops down on the couch, engrossed in reading.) MC: "Guess she's catching up on her reading." Yuri: "Perhaps we should start the meeting anyway. We can wait for Monika a little longer." MC: "That sounds like a good idea, Yuri. Let's get started." (As MC and Yuri discuss potential activities for their next meeting, Monika finally arrives, a cheerful smile on her face.) Monika: "Hey, everyone! Sorry I'm late. I got caught up in a music club meeting." MC: "No worries, Monika! We were just about to start discussing our plans. Come join us!" (The clubroom starts buzzing with a lively atmosphere as they all settle down, ready to spend their time together.)
