Natsuhiko went to find a waitress.
He personally ordered the cafe's best coffee and food for them.
When Natsuhiko got back to his seat, he saw Chika and Kaguya sitting on one side. Mai Sakurajima, who had been sitting next to Natsuhiko, was now sitting across from Chika, next to Natsuhiko.
Okay.
Natsuhiko always forgets that Mai, his senior, can appear and disappear.
Luckily, the cup in her hand disappears with her.
Otherwise,
he would have to introduce Mai to them.
Of course,
He wouldn't mind introducing them.
But since he didn't say anyone else was coming at first, Natsuhiko felt a little awkward.
As for Kaguya's state...
What's that saying?
"My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all I do is justice!"
The ice queen Kaguya was giving off that exact vibe.
Natsuhiko winked at Fujiwara Chika.
Chika wasn't trained for nothing. She immediately understood Natsuhiko's look. Her sharp eyes are not just for show.
"Ah, Kaguya has been like this since yesterday's incident. She's still beautiful, and this look is pretty good too~"
"Chika, don't say weird things!"
Kaguya's voice rang out, and the temperature in the cafe dropped a few degrees.
This was just like the first time he met Miss Kaguya.
It seems Chika's direct hit made Kaguya a little annoyed. But when she becomes an ice sculpture, it's easier to guess her thoughts.
Kaguya is surprisingly easy to understand at times like this!
Chika quietly stayed silent, only blinking her eyes as she stared at the two of them.
Natsuhiko didn't forget his purpose.
He explained in detail how he was forced to go to Hoshinoumi Academy. Of course, he hid the part about having special powers. He blamed everything on distant relatives acting as his guardians who made a mistake.
These things are hard to make up.
And he was talking to really smart people.
Natsuhiko tried to make the story vague.
"Oh, I see. It was all a misunderstanding!"
Chika clapped her hands lightly and smiled happily.
"As long as Hiko isn't bothered by it, that's good."
"Hmph!"
Kaguya's attitude remained cold.
She took out her phone.
"It's more than just a misunderstanding. I think Natsuhiko is probably on cloud nine."
Huh?
Before Natsuhiko could ask, Kaguya took out her phone.
"...My goal is a harem..."
"Oh, that's Hiko's voice."
Chika leaned over to look at the video on the phone on the table.
Mai also moved closer and giggled.
Unlike the photos on the school forum, this video fully showed Natsuhiko's actions, expressions, and words at that time.
"Ah, so Hiko wants a harem? Does that mean we're not competing against each other, but that he wants both of us?"
Chika looked interested.
"Ugh, you're so annoying. Why should you be in the harem?"
"Oh, my dear friend, my favorite Kaguya, don't you want me in the harem?"
Chika's eyes welled up with tears, looking pitiful.
Kaguya's nose twitched slightly.
"Well, maybe if you behave better, it's not impossible!"
"Oh, really? I'll try my best."
Chika looked happy and innocent.
Kaguya seemed to have forgotten why she showed the video in the first place.
These two...
Are easy to deal with!
But that was a mistake!
The next moment, they both looked like demons.
"Who are these five identical beauties?"
"And what about Tomori Nao, who you said was your girlfriend? Is she also one of your harem candidates?"
"After all, someone said they like beautiful girls."
"Ugh, you're so greedy!"
"We were here first. Why didn't you show us this side of you?"
"Yeah, are we not worthy of being in the harem?"
"..."
Natsuhiko watched the two of them work together and seriously wondered if they were putting on an act.
Mai was already laughing on the side.
These people were too funny. He thought it would be a "I was here first!" fight, but it was more like a funny skit of "Why wasn't I added to the harem first?"
Hearing Mai's loud laughter,
Natsuhiko realized that Mai´s behavior was out of line.
And only he could hear it.
She was being sneaky.
Natsuhiko glared at Mai, but she only laughed harder.
Sigh.
The path to becoming a harem king is full of thorns, and this is just one of them.
"Well, let's play a guessing game!"
"A guessing game?"
Finally, their argument ended with Natsuhiko raising the white flag in surrender.
However,
The topic changed too quickly!
"That's fine, but does it look like it's a good time to play a game like that?"
"Then, first question!"
Ignoring Natsuhiko's protest,
Chika began to ask.
"What's the thing that makes a girl the happiest in the world?"
"Huh?"
"What is it?"
"..."
"What...is it?"
Kaguya repeated Chika's question.
Clearly, they were both very curious about Natsuhiko's answer.
Kaguya's expression began to change, and her cold look slowly softened.
Natsuhiko narrowed his eyes.
It's supposed to be a guessing game but feels like a question!
"What is it, what is it? What's the answer?"
Kaguya's tone changed, becoming silly.
He sighed inwardly.
Natsuhiko decided to play along with this "guessing" game.
"Eating sweets?"
"Sweets are good, but that's wrong!"
"Nice clothes?"
"Clothes are always better when they're pretty and comfy!"
"Being praised by others."
"That's not bad, but it's not quite there!"
"Then, a kiss?"
"A...a kiss is close, but it's still not right."
"Isn't being kissed by someone you like happy?"
"Anyway, anyway, that's just not it..."
Chika was starting to lose it.
Kaguya coldly turned her head to look out the window.
"So, it's a confession before dating."
When he said that, he clearly heard a snort from all three of them.
This means...
They want him to confess first before dating.
Right?
That´s right!
Such a subtle and direct hint~
