Tokyo: I'm bound to the evil women!

The atmosphere shifted after Ichinomiya Satsuki uttered those words.

Chiyo was stunned at first. She stared at Ichinomiya Satsuki, wondering if the person in front of her was really Ichinomiya Satsuki.

Realizing what had happened, she felt an unprecedented surge of anger, but this didn't show on her face; it only made her tone more hostile.

"Um...it's a long story. Actually, we wouldn't call ourselves very close. It's just..."

Fujiwara Matsu didn't actually know what his relationship with Ichinomiya Satsuki was; it wouldn't be accurate to say what kind of relationship they had now.

But her suggestion was so appropriate that even he didn't have any intention of refusing it after thinking through the pros and cons.

The only problem is having to face that guy's face every day, with absolutely no secrets...

"Then let's get to the point, Song, I need an explanation! Where did you get so many secrets from!"

The series of unexpected events caused Ayaka Ando to be largely ignored.

"Chiya, come with me."

Satsuki Ichinomiya said something to Mio Chiya, but she didn't react.

Chiya Mio simply turned to look at her, her eyes filled with doubt and a hint of hostility.

Then, she leaned closer to Chiya Mio, whispered in her ear, and said something that only the two of them could hear:

"Shogi."

Fujiwara Matsu's hearing wasn't actually that good, but he could tell.

To be honest, he didn't want the two of them to share this news, but Ichinomiya Satsuki should know what she's doing, right?

I think so?

Chiya Mio's expression was somewhat puzzled for a moment, and she frowned as she looked at her.

Then, as if she had just realized something, she widened her eyes and looked at her with a knowing look, as expected of her.

The two women got up together in perfect unison and headed upstairs, intending to find a room to chat for a while.

Shiratori Saki glanced at it and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Fujiwara Matsu.

"Let them talk."

"Ando, ​​go back to your room."

Upon hearing Fujiwara Matsu's words, Ando Ayaka breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Fujiwara Matsu had indeed relented and that she could stay. Clearly, now was not the time to talk to Fujiwara Matsu.

She listened to his words, turned and went back to her room, but after taking two steps, she turned back again.

"Um, Fujiwara-san, can we talk later?"

"Okay, we'll talk about it later."

"Oh, right, give me your hand."

"what?"

"Didn't you dislocate your shoulder?"

But Shiratori Saki stepped forward and took Ando Ayaka's hand. Ando Ayaka trembled and gritted her teeth, letting out a muffled groan.

The maid casually put her dislocated arm back in place.

"Alright, Fujiwara-kun."

Fujiwara Matsu looked like he was in pain, but he didn't say anything.

The atmosphere eased temporarily, and Fujiwara Matsu breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on the sofa, sinking into it as he tried to maintain his balance, which made him feel somewhat exhausted.

"Are you alright, Fujiwara-kun?"

Shiratori Saki gently wiped Fujiwara Matsu's sweat with a tissue. After a moment of relaxation, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Thank you, Shiratori-senpai."

"Don't call me that anymore."

The girl shook her head firmly, her eyes filled with seriousness:

"Call me Sazaki. I want to hear you call my name."

"Thank you, Saki-senpai."

There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but she quickly recovered: "It's my fault. If it weren't for me, none of this would have happened."

"It'll come sooner or later, it's okay."

He didn't mention Ayaka Ando to Shiratori Saki, trusting that she would keep her promise to him.

Dominance: 40% - 41%

On the second floor, in Fujiwara Matsu's room.

The two stood face to face, neither too close nor too far. Chiya Mio had already restrained her anger, while Ichinomiya Satsuki remained as calm as ever.

"Ichinomiya, I need an explanation."

"Because of you."

"You know he's mine."

"I don't care, I just want an answer."

"You got it?"

"No, so I need an answer. Don't you mind?"

"I can keep an eye on it for you."

The person in front of her was indeed no different from the one in her memory, and she was certain that the person in front of her had no other intentions.

"What do you know? Tell me."

"It is indeed him."

Chiya Mio showed an expression that said, "I knew it."

"If that were all, you wouldn't be like this. What else is there? Tell me."

"I'll tell you once I get the answer."

With her eyes closed, Chiya Mio seemed to be carefully considering her words before opening them.

"You need to be there every noon at the literary society."

Upon hearing this, Ichinomiya Satsuki calmly shook her head:

"Philosophy Club."

Their eyes met calmly, and in the end, neither of them compromised, but Chiyo Mio thought her suggestion was feasible.

"It's up to you now."

After saying that, Chiyo turned and left the room, while Ichinomiya Satsuki looked around the room, trying to learn more about Fujiwara Matsu.

The room is a good starting point.

In the storage room, Ayaka Ando kept peeking out, but was glared at by Fujiwara Matsu and forced to go back inside. Now, only her eyes were showing, and Fujiwara Matsu didn't bother with her anymore.

Chiya Mio slowly walked downstairs and saw Fujiwara Matsu sprawled on the sofa like a lump of mud, with Shiratori Saki sitting next to him.

"loose."

"Um?"

"Next time, if something like this happens, just talk to me directly. You clearly had a better option back then, didn't you?"

He understood that she was referring to the time when she took in Ayaka Ando, ​​and he did indeed have a choice—to find her.

"I don't want to trouble you."

"Your problems are no trouble for me, and I'd be happy to deal with the guys who get close to you."

"after all……"

Chiya Mio gradually moved closer to him and whispered:

"You are mine."

"I mind. I can handle this. What about Ichinomiya's proposal? What have you thought about it?"

"If you can accept that, I think it's feasible."

It seems the two have already discussed it. Most likely... well, I'll ask Ichinomiya for details later; she'll tell me.

Based on his understanding of Chiya Mio, Fujiwara Matsu only asked about the conclusion and was able to roughly guess the outcome for the two of them.

Shiratori Saki's expression wasn't pleasant; Chiya Mio's words didn't seem to take her into consideration.

"Fujiwara-kun, are you really willing to let Ichinomiya-san move in?"

"Um, actually, I can do it too!"

The maid's eyes were filled with anticipation; this was the first time she had openly revealed herself to the two of them without any restraint.

"Sazaki, you're my personal maid, how can you abandon your post like this?"

"I won't abandon my post; I'll be there after my duties are completed..."

"Then it's useless, Sazaki, no way."

The maid's face still showed some hesitation; clearly, she hadn't completely given up on the idea. After struggling for a while, she whispered.

"Yes, miss."

Fujiwara Matsu didn't intervene in their argument. He didn't care who it was, or rather, he didn't care about such things. He was unlikely to have any inappropriate contact with Ando Ayaka anyway.

After regaining his strength, he thought about letting the two of them leave.

"you……"

"You've come all this way, why are you in such a hurry to get rid of us?"

However, Chiyo Mio seemed to see through his thoughts and shut him down with a single sentence.

However, Fujiwara Matsu did not give up.

Four hours had not yet passed since Ichinomiya Satsuki called, and Fujiwara Matsu knew that this girl definitely had something to say to him.

Therefore, he thought that he could deal with the matter within this time frame, and only when the two of them were not around could he have a proper talk with Ichinomiya Satsuki.

He still didn't really want to face her at her peak.

Just then, as he was thinking about how to find a reason for the two of them to leave willingly, Ichinomiya Satsuki came down from the second floor.
