Summary
During the club orientations, various clubs will set up booths in the classrooms to recruit new members. Michitake is determined to join "The White Rose," the choir club of the university that Hayase joined in his past life. Entering the classroom, he gets frustrated as he finds out that it is crowded, and he worries about not being able to sign up for the club. Suddenly, an upperclassman appears before him and tries to recruit him into the Germanic Studies Club after keeping track of him since the training camp. While Yariel advises him to reject the upperclassman, Michitake notices the scar on his forehead, and he identifies him as Shimizu Masaki, or "Shimimasa", a senior majoring in literature.

Michitake remembers that he used to do everything he was ordered to do by Shimimasa in his past life, and as a result, he spent the entire year inside an exclusive social circle, void of interaction with women. Remembering this, Michitake rejects Shimimasa's offer, and he celebrates, not long before Shimimasa hands him an application form. Suddenly, Shimimasa points out that he is probably more interested in girls than the choir itself since the choir club mostly consists of women. He adds that it would be disrespectful to join a club with the objective of only befriending women and that Michitake entered Todai University to study German, hence why he should join Shimimasa's club. Michitake rethinks his plans and refuses to join nonetheless, but Shimimasa persists. Suddenly, another student tells him off for making Michitake uncomfortable.
