The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

However, because she was leaning against the sofa, Kiana plopped down on the floor, while Kaguya fell headfirst into her arms.

"Ouch! Eh... what's this?"

Feeling those two soft, fluffy mounds, Kaguya was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment.

"What is this?! Why am I also defeated by transfer students in this aspect?!"

Although she felt she was still growing up healthily, compared to Secretary Fujiwara, and compared to the transfer student in front of her...

She suddenly realized that she was actually quite pathetic...

Unfortunately, Kiana couldn't feel the shock that Kaguya-sama was experiencing.

Coming to her senses from the surprise, she rubbed her hair and then asked with deep concern:

"Kaguya-san? Are you alright?"

"Huh? Uh...sorry, I made a silly mistake."

Although somewhat surprised, Kaguya-sama was, after all, a girl with good upbringing and manners.

It was clear that what she needed to do at that moment was to get up as soon as possible and then apologize.

"I'm so sorry, but... Kiana, are you injured?"

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing, just a bump is nothing to me. Um... Ishigami-kun, you don't need to be so scared, I'm not some man-eating beast."

Upon hearing Kiana's words, Kaguya finally snapped out of her daze and looked at the trembling, gloomy man behind her.

It was precisely because this guy had suddenly startled me that I lost my composure like this.

His crime is unforgivable!

"Ishigami-kun~" Kaguya-sama expressed her strange feelings towards her good colleague with a very 'kind' smile, "Is it because you're not feeling well that you want to go to the hospital to lie down for a few days?"

"I...I...I think I want to go back, is that okay? You see...even if I stay here, I'm just bothering you two while you're working..."

Ishigami said these words with a wry smile.

After the president left, he felt more and more that he should stop foolishly staying in the department office.

You'll definitely get into something worse than death!

You see, the two girls in front of you are both quite difficult to deal with.

Kaguya-sama needs no introduction; that beautiful white-haired girl... is the daughter of an energy tycoon!

"Damn it! Why do I have to face these horrible people?!"

Ishigami, an accountant with no lofty ambitions, did not want to rely on personal connections to secure his future, as his family suggested.

With a gloomy personality, he just wanted to play quietly by himself.

Therefore, when faced with the situation of being alone with two beautiful girls, his first thought was to make a quick getaway and never come here again in his life!

Unfortunately...

You think you can just run away after offending Kaguya-sama?

"Oh, Ishigami-kun, are you feeling unwell? Should I send my family doctor to examine you? Don't worry, they'll definitely find something serious!"

Upon hearing this, Ishigami was so frightened that he froze on the spot.

"Eh!!!"

His knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground, supporting himself with his hands on the floor.

Why did this happen?!

Ishigami's wailing, which seemed to indicate that his life was over, was honestly quite perplexing.

Even Kiana, as an observer, felt at this moment...

There might be something wrong with this accountant.

"Um... Kaguya-san, stop joking around. Since Ishigami has something to do, let him leave, okay? Anyway, with this amount of work, we can handle it—!"

Before the words were finished, there was a whoosh!

You can still see the stone's shadow in the student council room...

Kiana, who was halfway through her sentence, looked around and was momentarily at a loss for words to describe her feelings at that moment.

"Huh? He ran off before I even finished speaking? That guy is way too..."

"Hehe, what a fuss. Kiana, a gloomy man like this, who hides in the shadows, will melt if he continues to be exposed to the sunlight~ Eh! I'm not... uh."

Because she was annoyed by Ishigami, Kaguya-sama momentarily lowered her guard.

As a result, he casually replied to Kiana's words without thinking.

It wasn't until those somewhat offensive words were spoken that she suddenly came to her senses and realized that the person standing in front of her was...

Not the child of a small business owner...

"Sorry, actually—!"

"Oh, is that so? I am the one who is not familiar with this place, since I just arrived."

Kiana scratched the back of her head and gave a forced smile, then enthusiastically pulled Kaguya down to sit.

"Let's begin, it's getting late. We can't let the president and Secretary Fujiwara down!"

"Eh? Um... Well then, excuse me."

Under Kiana's enthusiastic advances, Kaguya could no longer maintain her aloof and unapproachable demeanor, and could only blush as she began to work with her.

It has to be said that only after getting close to her did she realize with surprise...

I think I was overthinking it.

Because this beautiful white-haired girl, well... she's a little too naive.

"Uh, Kiana, there's a mistake here. And this part shouldn't be separated like that. It's really surprising. You... don't understand anything?"

"Really? Hehe, you saw right through me..."

Kiana had unspeakable suffering in her heart.

She genuinely didn't understand the work of these student councils, despite having the experience taught by Secretary Fujiwara.

However, it's obviously impossible to be as considerate as President Shirogane and Kaguya-sama.

There's no way around it; every profession is like a mountain to climb.

If the world were to collapse now, Honkai Beasts, mechs, and suicide soldiers would roam everywhere.

Then her martial arts skills would naturally come in very handy.

Unfortunately, what is needed in this peaceful and harmonious world is not pure force.

Therefore, even though her major was unrelated to her studies, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the job.

And her earnest efforts, for some reason, gave Kaguya a somewhat naive and simple impression...

"Oh dear, how cute! Oops! I'm sorry, I blurted out my true feelings! No...no, I..."

Kaguya covered her flushed cheeks with her hands, her heart pounding wildly with nervousness.

"What exactly is this feeling...?"

Feeling utterly confused, she covered her face, unable to look directly at Kiana's face any longer.

This scene caused Kiana, who was standing by, to pause for a moment, before she smiled and joked:

"Haha, Kaguya-san, you're cute too~"

Feeling extremely happy after being praised, Kaguya slowly withdrew her hand, coughed to cover up her embarrassment, and then smiled at Kiana, saying:

"Hmm...hehe, let's keep trying, Kiana."

The Troubles of a New Student Council Member (Kaguya-sama: Love Is War): Chapter 21 Kaguya-sama: Love Is War Prepares to Go All Out

Inside the neat and elegant department office, Kiana and Kaguya chatted and laughed as they worked on the documents.

Because the gap between the two sides has been reduced considerably, Guo Chen's work is very harmonious and pleasant.

Every now and then, the two sides would exchange some interesting stories about the class, as well as their opinions on certain classmates.

Overall, it was a rather interesting work experience.

"You've been a great help, Kiana."

"Hmm, pleasant."

Kiana stretched and then gave Kaguya a bright smile.

To be honest, although we were supposed to work on the documents together, she was basically handling everything on her own.

It can also be completed perfectly.

After all, although Kaguya-sama may seem powerless in some situations, such as dealing with President Shirogane, she is actually quite capable.

If it weren't for the fact that she was the student council president, she would be the student council president.

My help was, at best, icing on the cake.

"By the way, why haven't the president and the others returned yet?"

Kiana slumped onto the sofa, grumbling with a hint of boredom.

Upon hearing this, Kaguya-sama twitched her nose with obvious concern, and then coughed twice, feigning composure.

"Speaking of which... Kiana."

Kaguya-sama brushed aside the hair that had been covering her forehead, revealing a large expanse of her fair, white neck to Kiana.

She swallowed nervously, then seemed to muster up her courage.

"What are your thoughts on the president?"

Kaguya tried her best to ask Kiana in a relatively calm tone.

Unfortunately, her efforts to hide her true feelings backfired, revealing Kiana's true intentions through extremely deliberate actions.

It was just a test to see what they would say...
