Chapter 157: Fujiwara Chika's Invitation
Although they were both fried and high-calorie foods, both of them had just expended a lot of energy, so eating a meal like this was fine.
After eating, she washed her hands. Eriri returned, finished the remaining bit of cola, and patted her slightly bulging belly, saying, "I'm stuffed, I'm stuffed."
Kaede, who had finished tidying up the trash, also walked over. After sitting down, he directly picked Eriri up and held her on his lap.
"Ah! Kaede-kun, you should have said something beforehand!"
Eriri was startled. She lightly patted Kaede, then her expression turned into a smile, and she leaned into Kaede's embrace.
His fingertips traced Eriri's long blonde hair. Kaede intimately rubbed his forehead against Eriri's and said with a smile, "Not shy anymore?"
"After thinking about it, since things are already like this, wouldn't it be self-deception if I continued to be shy?"
With a slight blush, the girl, having just experienced intimacy, was particularly clingy. Eriri wasn't satisfied just sitting there. She turned around and straddled Kaede, wrapping her arms around his neck and saying, "Kaede-kun, do you think boys will slowly stop cherishing a girl after they get her?"
"..."
Kaede looked at Eriri somewhat puzzled, wondering if all girls in the world had the same thought process. He seemed to have seen similar lines in some novels and movies.
Although he thought so, Kaede's hands were not slow at all. He directly raised his hand and flicked Eriri's forehead, saying impatiently, "Don't read all sorts of nonsense when you have nothing to do. How could that be?"
"Ugh..."
Covering her head, Eriri whispered, "But isn't that what everyone says? For men, what they can't get is the best. What is it called, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a stolen one?"
"No, at least I'm not like that."
He cupped Eriri's face in his hands, gave her pouting lips a firm kiss, and then said, "Don't worry about anything. We'll just continue like this."
"Hehehe~~~"
Smiling foolishly, Eriri adjusted her posture again and leaned in, saying, "Kaede-kun, are we still going to draw tonight?"
"Hmm... Not tonight, I guess. Can't let Eriri get tired again."
Eriri nodded. She really didn't feel like working. However, she couldn't help but think that the one who should have been tired earlier was the boy; she hadn't moved much.
The more she thought about it, the hotter Eriri's cheeks became.
Since they weren't working that night, the two stayed glued to each other, watched some TV, and then started playing games. Mostly, Eriri held the controller and played, while Kaede gave her bad advice and interfered.
Their situation continued until the afternoon of the next day, when a phone call interrupted the two who were kissing.
"Eriri, your phone is ringing."
Opening her eyes hazily, Eriri looked at her phone on the coffee table. She playfully pulled Kaede's hand out of her clothes and went to get the phone.
"Eh? Fujiwara-senpai's call."
Seeing the incoming call, not only Eriri but Kaede also became curious.
"Has Fujiwara-senpai returned from her trip?"
"She should have. I just don't know why she's calling."
Saying that, Eriri answered the phone.
"Hello, Fujiwara-senpai?"
"Good afternoon, Eriri-chan!" Fujiwara Chika's energetic voice came through. "I'm calling to invite you to play!"
She really gets straight to the point, no beating around the bush.
"Eh? An invitation?"
"Yes, yes!"
On the other end of the phone, Fujiwara Chika looked at a pile of wrapped gifts in her room and said happily, "I traveled around and bought a lot of souvenirs, which I plan to give to my friends. If you and Asakura-kun are free tomorrow, please come to my house! I originally wanted to invite you today, but after arriving home yesterday, the fatigue immediately set in. Even after adjusting my biological clock, I was still exhausted, so it had to be postponed until tomorrow! Not just you two, I've also invited the President and her sister, and Kaguya-san. Oh, and Ishigami-kun, our Student Council treasurer. Everyone will be there!"
Invited to play at the Fujiwara Family's house? She brought back gifts?
Kaede and Eriri exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
The next second, the team voice chat opened.
What should we do, Kaede-kun? Should we accept?
Don't ask me, Fujiwara-senpai called you.
That's the Fujiwara Family, it feels like it wouldn't be good to not go.
Then let's go. Anyway, Fujiwara-senpai invited us, it's not like we're actively trying to climb the social ladder.
After exchanging glances, Eriri finally said, "Then, thank you for your invitation, Fujiwara-senpai. Kaede-kun and I will come to visit together tomorrow."
"Hehe, that's great! I'll send you the address soon. The time is 10 AM tomorrow! No tardiness allowed, there will be a penalty for being late! So, I'll be waiting for your visit tomorrow. Bye-bye~~~"
"Bye-bye, see you tomorrow, Fujiwara-senpai."
After hanging up the phone, Eriri looked at Kaede and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect Fujiwara-senpai to invite us."
"I really didn't expect it."
Kaede nodded, pondering, "I think it might be related to the several times we've interacted with her on Twitter before."
Fujiwara Chika had been traveling all over the world these days, often posting various photos on her Twitter account. When Kaede and Eriri saw interesting things, they would leave comments below. They interacted many times, and perhaps because she found them engaging, she decided to buy gifts for them too.
It must be said that, although she sometimes transforms into the cancer of the earth, overall, Fujiwara Chika's lively and cheerful personality makes it very easy for her to get along with people.
After all, even a young lady like Shinomiya Kaguya could become friends with Fujiwara Chika.
For some reason, Kaede thought that if she were to truly follow the Fujiwara Family's tradition as a political family, when Fujiwara Chika stepped onto a larger stage, she would probably be able to run for prime minister, and with a significantly leading vote count at that.
No, if that really happened, this country would probably be on the verge of collapse.
He quickly shook his head, discarding the bizarre thoughts in his mind. Kaede looked at Eriri and said, "If we're going to visit tomorrow, I don't know if the elders of the Fujiwara Family will be there. Eriri, why don't you contact Sayuri-san or Spencer-san and ask what kind of gift we should bring for the visit?"
"Indeed, that's a question that needs consideration!"
Just then, Fujiwara Chika's message came through.
Fujiwara Chika: [Eriri-chan, this is my home address! Also, my mom, dad, and older sister won't be home tomorrow, only my younger sister and I, so you don't need to bring a formal visiting gift for adults, just come over!]
Looking at the message, Kaede stroked his chin and said, "Did she guess what we were thinking?"
"Hmm... probably not. Maybe she's had similar experiences," Eriri thought for a moment and said, "Surely other classmates have visited before!"
That should be the case.
However, even if Fujiwara Chika said that the adults wouldn't be home tomorrow and only their peers would be playing together, it was still a visit to Fujiwara-senpai's house.
Tomorrow morning, I'll buy some high-end pastries to bring.
