"Our first order of business," said Yumehara, strolling in in her pink camo military uniform, addressing are the audience of one Teruhashi and one Kuboyasu,
"Is the same as every other meeting. Brainstorm ideas to turn the hearts of Kaidou and Saiki to the ones who pine in their direction."
Teruhashi and Kuboyasu gave a sharp nod, and turned to the black board, which was covered in bullet points and suggestions from the last meeting.
Circled in the center was "GATHER INTEL".
Technically, the Love Warriors was not a real club. Technically, Yumehara was using the permits from the occult club which fell apart when only her and some other girl started showing up, as Yumehara sometimes said saltily.
But that's all technicalities were. Technicalities.
When the other girl transferred, Yumehara took the chance to shift the club once more in secret, despite the fact that the three of them were the only members.
The school didn't need to know that though.
"Admiral Angel?"
"Yes General?" Said Teruhashi as she stood up, donning a matching pink uniform.
Yumehara pulled her bag onto the desk and pulled out an orange clasp envelope, adorned with the word "CONFIDENTIAL".
She marched torwards Teruhashi, whose mouth was agape, eyes sparkling.
"How...how did you get this?" She asked, opening it gently, handling it as through it would turn into air should she even look away.
Yumehara giggled to herself.
"Kaidou can be a very valuable source, if spoken to correctly."
"What exactly did you say to him?" Aren piped in, scanning Yumehara as though she held the secrets of the universe.
"Oh all it took was telling him that the Dark Reunion was planning to do something and if we didn't have have the information, they could conquer the world. You know how to talk to Kaidou." A dreamy expression crossed her face, and a sigh fell from her lips.
"He's such a sweet doofus."
Aren nodded, a similar expression on his face. "I know right? He's adorable."
Aren used to be very confused about the purpose of the club. On the first meeting, he had asked why he and Yumehara couldn't just ask Kaidou out, and Teruhashi simply ask saiki, Yumehara pulled out a list of every time she had attempted to ask Kaidou out but it went over his head.
Kaidou was… very dense.
Usually, Teruhashi would tease them about how gone they were for Kaidou. But she wasn't paying attention to them praising everything about Kaidou; she was holding what felt like diamonds to her.
In the Manila folder, there were several sheets of paper. At the top of the one at the front of the pile, Saiki's full name was written in bold letters.
All the files were written in Yumehara's neat and bubbly handwriting, the sparkling ink a trade mark of her favorite pink pen.
Generic information was listed. She skimmed through the data about his height, weight, all data from physical exams, his birthday, (which she stored at the back of her head for now) and flipped the page.
She filed away snippets of information into her head, storing them away for later, hoping to find something in the extensive information on Saiki in the pile when her eyes saw it.
"The Jet Black Wings notes that Cyderman 2.0 appears to have an incredibly insatiable sweet tooth."
Of course, Teruhashi thought, plans of attack filling her head.
Teruhashi turned to see that Aren and Yumehara were surrounding a nearly identical Manila, filled to the brim with what Teruhashi was sure was information on Kaidou, eyes deeply focused.
"I've got what I need! I need to run home and start my plan!" She said, running out of the club room, bidding a rapid farewell to Aren and Yumehara.
"Good Luck!" Yumehara called out, and Teruhashi saw Aren give her a thumbs up, before the both retreated back into the club room.

Saiki knew what Teruhashi was trying to do.
To a degree anyway. Her thoughts were very cryptic.
She had brought a tray to school, filled with what Saiki knew was coffee jelly.
Her smile today had brought triple the normal amount of offus.
Not that she had noticed. She was filled with a semi nervous, mostly excited energy.
I really hope Saiki likes the coffee jelly! I put my whole heart into it! Oh I cant wait!
Her thoughts were loud, and had it been any other situation, Saiki would have avoided her as much as possible.
But there was coffee jelly involved.
So he was gonna stick around.
Lunch came around and Teruhashi walked over to their lunch table, Yumehara bouncing behind her.
Teruhashi gave a sparkling smile to the table, which made everyone but Saiki gasp.
He would never be caught dead gasping. Those two times were just flukes.
"I appreciate you guys so much! You're the nicest friends anyone could ask for." This much was genuine, and Teruhashi had a soft look in her eyes.
But Saiki was aware of her ulterior motive.
"I made some coffee jelly, because you're all so wonderful."
Mera popped out of nowhere and sat down at their table, acting as though she was there the whole time.
Teruhashi, aided by Yumehara, gave out the coffee jelly, and Saiki heard her having an internal debate about whether or not giving him a slightly bigger piece was too obvious.
In the end, she determined that it was worth it, and his piece was just slightly larger than the rest.
Yare yare .
Her thoughts were racing through her head, but the most prominent was
I hope he likes it. I hope he can taste all the care I put into it. Please God, please let him love it.
Please let him love me!
Yare yare. Saiki was aware of his sweet tooth, but even coffee jelly wouldn't make him fall for Teruhashi.
He raised the spoon to his lips, and he felt the coffee jelly's settle on his taste buds.
Saiki had tasted a lot of coffee jelly in his life.
One might even say he was addicted and needed to seek professional help.
But this coffee jelly, blew all the others out of the water.
If Saiki had thought that normal coffee jelly was illegally decadent, this coffee jelly was downright godly.
Indeed. Somehow, he could taste the warmth and love Teruhashi put into it, despite the fact that that should have been impossible.
He could almost even go as far to say that this coffee jelly ruined all other coffee jellies for him.
His friends marveled at the sight of his eyes lighting up and sparkling, a soft smile unlike any seen on Saiki before.
Teruhashi walked bashfully in front of him, her face a beautiful shade of pink and heart racing kilometers per second. She tucked her hair behind her ear, fiddling with the end.
"D-did you like it?" She asked shyly. "Do you maybe want another piece?"
He glanced up at her, and for the third time in his life, Saiki involuntarily said,
"Offu!"
