The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Well!

After thinking it over, Miko felt that if they continued talking about this topic, it would probably go on forever.

So she stomped her foot and then, in a fit of pique, declared:

"In short, we can't do this kind of thing again! By the way... where's the president? And where's Kaguya-senpai?"

"Huh? Why are you asking them?"

"Is that even a question? I need to be constantly vigilant against any potential disciplinary risks."

Miko crossed her arms and spoke these words with a righteous and awe-inspiring air.

Her actions caused Secretary Fujiwara to tilt her head, unsure whether to respond or cover for the chairman and the others.

After much thought, she, as a senior colleague, sighed.

"Miko-chan is really ambitious."

Please don't ignore what I'm saying, thank you.

"Well... I'll tell you about Miko then..."

Secretary Fujiwara sighed slightly, then somewhat helplessly revealed where the guild leader and Kaguya might be.

Finally, after Miko set off to leave, she said somewhat shyly to Kiana, making a self-deprecating remark:

"Oops, I messed up. I hope the president and the others won't be mad at me later?"

"It shouldn't be like that, Chika-san, you're overthinking it. Even if—!"

Before Kiana could finish speaking, an unexpected voice appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully triggered the main quest for the [Shuchiin Academy] region: Create an opportunity if there is none!]

[Mission Completion Method: While avoiding interference from Iino Miko, wait for Kaguya-sama to reveal her true feelings.]

[Completing this mission will reward you with 5000 Herrscher Points, which can be redeemed at a discounted price for one unique item from this world, and will randomly unlock the next story world.]

[Task Description: There is no right or wrong answer to a question. The only difference lies in the attitude, which has nothing to do with you. This task doesn't even require you to actively clarify everything; just avoid being disturbed.]

"I don't need to actively clarify everything... Does that mean I don't even need to get involved too much? Hmm... I feel that with Kaguya's temperament, even if she's rejected or accepted by the student council president after confessing, she'll probably just pretend it's a joke to cover it up, right?"

Perhaps that's why the system issued this main quest, which is both real and nonexistent.

Is the goal merely to allow oneself to recuperate in this world?

"However, I still need to do something..."

With this thought in mind, Kiana slowly turned her gaze to Secretary Fujiwara beside her...

The Troubles of Being a New Student Council Member (Kaguya-sama: Love Is War): Chapter 24 You may have misunderstood; I'm just very interested in you.

As everyone knows, Miko is a girl with a strong sense of justice.

She would not tolerate any illegal or disorderly conduct under her nose, nor would she tolerate any immoral or unethical behavior that violated school rules.

Even something as novel and exciting as romance is, of course, something that needs to be regulated and is not right.

Therefore, among all the students in the academy, she is the most threatening.

Perhaps that's why the system specifically reminded me to be wary of her interference?

However, if you want to win Miko back, the best way might not be to reason with her or make forceful demands.

After all, it's impossible to persuade such a stubborn and unreasonable person simply by trying to convince them.

After all, in all fairness, she might not be much less capable.

therefore...

"Ahem! Chika-san, about Miko-san, she..."

"Eh? What's wrong, Kiana-chan?" Fujiwara Secretary playfully grabbed Kiana's hands and shook them.

It seems unclear what Kiana is going to say next...

"I'm very interested in her. Could you please bring her over here?"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Fujiwara was stunned and remained speechless for a long time before recovering.

"Huh? Kiana, did I... hear that right?"

Very interested...

Although both of them are first-year students, they can be considered his juniors.

However, there is a significant difference in their social status and position.

And Kiana surprisingly expressed interest in Miko-chan...

Could it be that kind of interest?

Secretary Fujiwara shook her little head vigorously, sweeping away all those messy guesses, and then looked at Kiana with her big, watery eyes.

I want to know what exactly this interest she's talking about.

result...

"You heard me right. I'm very interested in her. Could you please call her over here?"

Kiana stared into Fujiwara's eyes, vaguely sensing that this girl...

It's very likely that there's been a misunderstanding!

But now that things have come to this point, am I really supposed to change my mind and explain things clearly, and then just laugh it off?

This won't do...

"Eh!!! Wait a minute, I might... I might have misunderstood something, anyway... Kiana, do you really need my help?"

"Of course you need to, please. If I go... I'll probably be seen as a weirdo, right?"

"Uh..."

Fujiwara looked at Kiana, who had a calm expression, with a somewhat helpless expression, and gave her an awkward but polite smile.

She really wanted to complain, and she did.

But considering that Kiana has already made the request directly, if I don't agree...

That would be a bit hurtful.

So, the helpless Fujiwara secretary could only touch her hair.

"Well... alright, I hope Miko will listen to me."

"Okay? Um... thank you, Chika."

"They actually called me by my name... I'm so happy, Kiana-chan~"

Despite being ordered to do things she didn't want to do, Fujiwara felt a warm glow in her heart because it deepened her bond with Kiana.

Driven by this warm feeling, she rolled up her sleeves and quickly set off.

It looks like they're going to find Miko and bring her back...

Looking at the energetic Secretary Fujiwara, Kiana's face showed a look of satisfaction.

"Although it caused some misunderstanding, it's alright."

At least with Fujiwara's competence, Miko will be brought back soon, right?

As long as we can find a way to restrain this righteous girl...

Wearing a tracksuit, Kiana sat on a school bench, her hands supporting her pink cheeks, and began to think about what to say next.

...

Sports equipment warehouse.

After Kiana finished arranging the large amount of equipment, she smiled and greeted the girls who had come to help but hadn't been able to.

"Thank you! Kiana-senpai!"

"You're amazing, senior! Hehe... You're beautiful, brave, and strong. I wish I could stay with you forever..."

"Sorry, Kiana-senpai! We... have something to do, let's keep in touch later..."

The girls bowed politely to say goodbye, then left together chatting and laughing.

Kiana, dressed in her sportswear, was left alone in the warehouse, fumbling for the key her teacher had given her to close the door.

"Aren't they so clueless? Besides, I'm not some senior colleague..."

According to the identity given to me by the system when I traveled through time, I am from the same generation as Miko.

In theory, one should address the president, Kaguya, Fujiwara no Shita, and others as "senpai" (senior).

It's just... a matter of habit, I didn't pay attention to these things for a while.

As a result, these girls mistakenly believed they were upperclassmen...

Some of it is just speechless.

"Speaking of which, why is Secretary Fujiwara—!"

"Kiana-senpai!!!"

Just as Kiana was wondering if Secretary Fujiwara had encountered some difficulties, a sudden female voice snapped her back to reality.

I watched as the petite, neatly dressed girl slowly rushed into the warehouse.

"Hmm? Miko, you're finally here. Actually..."

"I'm so sorry! I can't accept your offer!"

Miko spread her hands and bowed deeply to express her apology.

I have to say, her action came so suddenly... I don't know what to say.

Kiana was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.

"Huh? I got dumped in less than five seconds after we met?"

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant, I just..."
