"Ah~"
At that moment, a female voice sounded, and just as she was about to fall, Shiro reacted first and caught her in a princess-carry style, preventing her from collapsing.
Then, in Shiro's arms was a girl in a school uniform, with pink hair and a ribbon tied on her head.
"I'm telling you, Chika, what are you doing?"
At that moment, Fujiwara Chika, who had closed her eyes due to the head impact and nearly fell, opened them when she heard the familiar voice, and spoke with a surprised expression.
"Shiro-kun, it's you! I thought I ran into someone else."
"Who else would it be if not me? What are you doing?"
"Of course, I'm running away."
Fujiwara Chika said this cheerfully, pronouncing the word "running away" as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
Shiro's eyes were filled with confusion when he heard that, feeling completely lost. What on earth had happened?
However, at that moment someone approached Shiro and said:
"Secretary Fujiwara, please return and continue your work."
Shiro saw a long-haired girl with yellow hair, very businesslike in appearance, and his eyes lit up when he saw her.
"Isn't that Ai? By the way, what are you doing? Playing hide-and-seek?"
"Shiro-kun, we're not playing hide-and-seek. Secretary Fujiwara just decided to avoid her work, and I came to bring her back."
Shiro looked at her, then saw Fujiwara Chika playfully punching him and sticking out her tongue.
Seeing that, a helpless expression appeared on Shiro's face as he said:
"So, you piled up work again, and now you're running away planning to dump everything on Kaguya?"
Fujiwara Chika immediately fell into despair when she heard that.
"Ah, ah, ah~ I don't know why, but recently some special force has been affecting me, making me not want to do anything at all!"
Shiro couldn't help but pout when he heard that.
"Come on, you're obviously just slacking off."
Hearing that, Fujiwara Chika immediately grabbed Shiro's hand and looked at him with a pitiful expression.
"Shiro-kun…"
Shiro knew what she wanted, so he could only speak helplessly.
"Stop fooling around now. I have something to do today, I'll leave as soon as I finish, so this time you're on your own."
When she heard that, Fujiwara Chika looked as if she had lost everything, turning into a colorless gray figure.
Shiro made it clear that he couldn't do anything either. After all, otherwise he would have helped her, but today he had a scheduled outing and plans, so he could only let her manage on her own.
"Shiro-kun, if you really make me finish all that work, you'll lose me."
Shiro immediately pouted.
"Don't talk nonsense. I never had you, so how could I lose you?"
"I confessed to you, and you still haven't agreed."
When she heard that, Fujiwara Chika seemed to remember something and immediately went into "blazing red" mode.
"Ahahaha, suddenly it feels like going back to work is a great thing. Long live work!"
After saying that, Fujiwara Chika immediately ran off.
Hayasaka Ai, as an observer, watched all this with a certain sense of helplessness.
"Shiro-kun, do you really notice nothing?"
"Or are you just so confident that you can procrastinate like this?"
Hayasaka Ai felt that this was a bit strange. It seemed that in these two years there had been no progress. Of course, it wasn't that she personally liked gossip, but the two of them were acting quite unusually.
One side was obviously in love and only needed a light consent, but stubbornly continued to procrastinate.
Meanwhile, the so-called confession was completely insincere and made as a joke. Yet the person in front of her obviously had real feelings and confessed because of them.
But after that, he didn't let the other side continue, not daring to break that thin layer, which made her a little confused.
Shiro looked at the little maid and smiled when he heard her questions.
"Do you think I'm some idiot who sees nothing?"
"However, I wonder, if the other side agrees, will I come to the student council to see my girlfriend, or to flirt with your young lady?"
As soon as Shiro said that, Hayasaka Ai immediately understood.
This guy was obviously ambitious, wanting to maintain an ambiguous atmosphere with his young lady, while at the same time occasionally openly flirting with Fujiwara Chika.
Earlier, it was certainly just testing the waters, but now, after investigating everything, he could be completely shameless. She had to admit, it was a good plan.
Hayasaka Ai had no way to deal with such an openly mischievous person in such matters. What could she even do?
Then she let this damn rascal meet her young lady.
Of course, that wasn't the point. The point was that the methods of this damn rascal were top-notch and he had truly launched a ice-breaking operation with her young lady!
But he couldn't resist that accidental collision where they fell into each other, the moment of connection. She hadn't expected that the other side would mainly just come to play with Fujiwara Chika.
Shiro entered and grandly greeted Kaguya, who was working.
"Kaguya, still busy?"
Kaguya Shinomiya heard the voice, looked up at the person who came, and spoke with a calm expression.
"Why do I suddenly feel like this isn't… Oh, it's Shiro-kun, the perverted scum who should be humanely destroyed, has arrived."
"Shouldn't you be turning into a beast and parading around everywhere at this time? How do you have time to come here?"
Shiro's mouth twitched, then he said in a helpless tone:
"Do you really have to be so hostile toward me? Wasn't it just last time that I tricked you into watching that little movie with me?"
"You should know that I was only trying to help you catch up on knowledge and, by the way, to soil your pure heart."
"Look at how much you've improved after I made you watch that little movie."
Hearing that, Kaguya Shinomiya immediately entered her Ice Kaguya mode, the one with full intent to kill.
"You perverted pervert, how dare you even mention that."
"You're shameless, how is it possible for your phone to have such things?"
"You scum, you should be humanely destroyed."
Kaguya Shinomiya completely broke down when she heard Shiro's words. She shouldn't have played that archery competition with this dog last time.
She thought it was her proudest moment. She couldn't beat him in academics, couldn't beat him in intelligence, couldn't beat him in chess, but she could surely in archery, right?
But this brat performed a whole show in front of her, doing various tricks even blindfolded.
The most absurd part was that there were ten targets, and he simply closed his eyes, aimed ten arrows, fired them all at once, and each hit dead center.
He completely humiliated her.
At that moment, she knew that this brat had tricked her again, but following the principle of respecting the bet, she agreed to watch the movie with him, at best treating it like watching a movie with a pet. She didn't expect that this guy would lead her back to the student council office, close the door, and watch together, even taking out his phone.
Honestly, she thought he was taking her to a cinema, but this move completely surprised her. What was played later could be said to make her grow up.
Precisely because of that incident, it could be considered a blemish on her life. She hadn't expected this guy to trick her into watching such things.
And then, as if rubbing salt into the wound, this guy even mentioned it, with an expression as if he were doing her a favor.
At this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya thought that today, only one of them would come out alive.
Fortunately, Fujiwara Chika was hiding in the corner and handling her work. Otherwise, if she had heard it, she would surely have curiously asked what kind of movie the two of them were watching.
In other words, Kaguya might have once again faced social death.
After all, she would have kept silent about this matter herself, but she couldn't stop one chatty mouth eager to cause trouble.
