The club they’re joining is...?
“Hey Shimeji-chan, decided on a club yet?”
“Club?”
“Yeah, club.”
“Today’s the last day for club trials.”
“I’m not joining any, so...”
“Seems like first years have to join one, though?”
“What?”
“...”
“Don’t be so wide about it...”

Shijima Tsukishima
Was a shut-in for two years before entering high school, during which two stalks of shimeji mushrooms grew on her head. Can’t be bothered to do anything and is a pessimist.
Majime Yamashita
Shijima’s classmate. Cheerful and not diligent at all, contrary to her name. Was apparently born with a sunny-side egg on her head.
------------
“I don’t care, whatever’s fine...”
There you go again
“Throwing your responsibilities away again, I see.”
“That’s what I’m good for.”
“Track and field.”
“That’s javelin throwing.”
------------
“There should be an “Apathy Club.””
“What would that even be about...?”
“A club where you neglect your responsibilities.”
I don’t wanna
do anything
“The person who does it the best wins.”
“It’s a contest?”
I don’t wanna get up
I don’t wanna breathe
“You have to keep on doing it even as you win, so it’s pretty hard.”
“Shimeji-san wins!”
“Don’t want it.”
“A catch-22 contest.”
Shijima’s Sister
Lives together with Shijima as something of a parent figure. She quit university and is currently focusing on some sort of incomprehensible research.
------------
“If whatever’s fine with you, then I’ll pick one.”
For both of us
“Sure. I won’t actually go anyway...”
“Hmm, then I might need to pick something that looks really boring...”
“Ah, but no sports, please...”
“You’re not going, though?”
“I don’t even want to be a member.”
“Seriously...?”
“...Ah, this one might be good.”
““Hole Digging Club””
“What is it about?”
“Digging holes, right?”
------------
“Looks like it’s an actual cultural club.”
“What sort of culture is that?”
“Club activities...”
“A simple club where we only dig holes.”
Club -> (blocked) do our best
-ing Club -> A simple club where we only dig holes! Come and see us
-Music Club -> We believe in the (blocked) of music (blocked).
“This is a bit of a tangent, but I guess a club named something like, say, “Fish Tank Club,” would do something related to fish tanks, huh?”
Like aquariums or something
“Dunno what I was expecting there.”
“Well, we came for the club trial,”
“but is this where they meant by “behind the northern building”?“
“...There’s a hole.”
“Anyone~”
“...”
“Umm, we’re here for the trial.”
“Ah, are you first years?”
“I’m “Mogawa,” the club advisor.”
“I’ll explain our club, but...”
“can you help me get out of here first?”
“Ah, so you actually are stuck.”
“Sorry...”
“Hn...”
“Ah.”
“Hn.”
“Ah.”
“Shimeji-chan!”
“Aaaaa~”
“...”
------------
“You’re a monster-”
“I don’t want to fall too...”
“What do we do...?”
“Can I go home?”
“Please don’t...”
“Oh, I might be able to see your panties from here.”
“I’m going home.”
“That was a joke!”
“Don’t go!”
“Ah, right. There’s a ladder inside the container, so...”
“Please say that before pulling me in...”
“Sorry... I got stuck in there when I was digging.”
“There’s nothing I can do...”
“When I just started working here last year, they suddenly pushed this “Hole Digging Club” onto me.”
“They made me the advisor of whatever this club even is.”
“So you don’t know either...”
------------
“The other teachers won’t say anything either. Pretty sure I’m being bullied here...”
“That can’t be right...”
“I think.”
“By the way, any other members...?”
“There’s one second year and one third year student.”
“No one ever attends, though, so I’ve been digging holes all by myself for this past year...”
“...”
“Want to eat a “sasakama,” Maam?”
“Ah, thanks...”
*TN: “Sasa-kamaboko (“sasakama”) is a sort of Japanese fish cake.
We Yamada to Kase-san now.
“Huh? Sasa-kamaboko?”
“They’re leftovers from lunch...”
“Ah~ This makes me wanna have some beer~”
“Is she all there...?”
“You know, there’s something I came up with while digging holes all year long.”
------------
“I dig holes that are completely useless...”
“What’s the point of it...?”
“Is it punishment for the sins of my previous life?”
“No... It might be the same as the act of living itself.”
“We commit sins for our whole lives, as if continuously digging ourselves into a deeper and deeper hole.”
“Wait, what’s with the bizarre revelation...?”
“Besides, club activities only serve to tire you. They’re pointless.”
“Kicking balls into goals...”
“Competing to see who’s fastest...”
“Putting up a musical performance; they’re all pointless.”
“Isn’t doing it for fun point enough...?”
“That’s why digging holes is just the same.”
“Everything’s pointless...”
“Ten points for apathy.”
“This is the Apathy Club!”
“Apathy Club...?”
“Ah... it’s just something we were talking about...”
“I guess I’ll enter this club.”
“Will you?”
“Looks tiring, though?”
“Ah.”
“Then you can just watch...”
“We’d be in a “Hole Watching Club”, then.”
“Hole watching.”
“Makes me wanna drink.”
“We’re not looking at flowers here...”
------------
“If you’re joining, then me too...”
“Are you friends?”
“We’re engaged.”
“We’re strangers.”
I don’t know her
“Then let’s take the middle ground and be best friends.”
Strangers - Acquaintances - Best friends - Engaged
“Then let’s take a further middle ground and be acquaintances.”
“No no no, that’s dumb!”
“It’s just fair, we both took a middle ground.”
“That’s 1/4th of the whole thing!”
“They’re friendly, I guess?”
