The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Helpless, she could only sigh and then say:

"Alright, alright, you two. Let's not waste any more time."

"Huh? Kaguya-san, why would you say that?"

"Ahem, actually... Kiana, I have some questions for you. Well, I wouldn't say I'm asking for advice. I just have some thoughts I'd like to share with you, to exchange my experiences. If I can get different perspectives, that would be great."

Kiana and Fujiwara were both surprised to hear what Kaguya said.

In the end, the first to react was not the person involved, but Fujiwara Secretary, who was a third party.

She hugged Kiana's arm reluctantly, asking in a puzzled tone, "Why? Kaguya-san, you're not thinking of doing something naughty with Kiana, are you?"

"Huh? How could that be... something naughty? Hmm, what is it?"

Kaguya tilted her head, feeling completely bewildered by Fujiwara's words.

At the same time, they were also very puzzled.

What exactly happened between these two? Why does it feel like they're hiding something from me?

"Could it be that they've also encountered... relationship troubles? Hmm, that's great... If so, our discussion will be even more valuable!"

Kaguya ultimately tends to believe that Kiana and Fujiwara's unusual behavior is the reason.

Both of them were experiencing emotional distress, which is why they became so strange.

Just like myself...

It must be said that, in a sense, Kaguya-sama's guess was quite accurate.

"It's something naughty, you know? Oh, Kaguya-san, didn't you know?"

"Uh... how could I not know? Hmph, something as easy as this is nothing to me!"

"Sigh! Let's not talk about this anymore..."

Kiana was utterly speechless at Kaguya-sama and Fujiwara-sensei's effortless handling of the situation.

Neither of them seemed to care that it was getting late.

He was completely talking to himself.

It feels like if we don't do something, these private conversations with girls could go on until tomorrow...

"Oh, Kiana, you want to go home, don't you?"

"this..."

"Uh, you don't have to answer me. Actually, I've thought about it for a long time, and I think that for the sake of our friendship, it's okay to visit each other's homes occasionally. Right? Hmm... isn't that right?"

Kaguya gently touched the black hair beside her ear before mustering her courage to speak those words.

She didn't know if Kiana would refuse her suggestion, so she tried to get the answer indirectly.

As it turns out, this subtle approach is quite effective.

"Visiting someone else's house... Kaguya-san, would you like to come to my house?"

"No, as the one who made the suggestion, how could I be so proactive? Hehe, I wonder if I would have the honor of inviting Miss Kiana to my home for a visit?"

As Kaguya spoke, she politely raised her hand in an invitation.

Seeing her like this, Kiana and Fujiwara, who was standing next to her, were completely stunned.

"This, I'm afraid—!"

"Sure!"

Before Kiana could politely decline, Fujiwara's acceptance left her completely bewildered as she looked at the girl who had answered on her behalf.

The two stared at each other for a while, and then Secretary Fujiwara began to explain.

...

Moonlit night.

In Secretary Fujiwara's boudoir.

Kaguya picked up the cookies on the table with a somewhat helpless expression and started eating them.

As she ate, she muttered to herself, "Why did things turn out this way?"

"Eh? Kaguya-chan, don't you like my house? I'm a little sad, since Kiana-chan seems to like it a lot."

Kaguya's monologue naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the homeowner and the party organizer.

As Fujiwara entered the room carrying a plate of snacks, she placed it somewhat dejectedly on the small table in the center of the room, then reached out and hugged Kiana's arm.

"Kiana-chan, do you like Chika's house?"

"...Huh? Huh?! You two..."

If Fujiwara's previous reaction only made Kaguya feel strange, then at this moment...

The interaction between Fujiwara Secretary and Kiana has made her feel like she has opened the door to a new world.

Why would these two...?

Having never encountered a similar situation before, Lady Kaguya lowered her head and chewed the biscuit in small bites.

Her face, already flushed with shyness, now appeared even more alluring.

Clearly, what has happened in the room where she had stayed several times before has exceeded her expectations...

"that..."

Of course, it wasn't just beyond Kaguya's imagination.

Kiana, who was part of the trio's gathering, was also quite surprised.

Why are you surprised?

Surprisingly, Secretary Fujiwara has begun to disregard the opinions of others.

If this pace continues...

"I think it's great, but Secretary Fujiwara... could you relax a little?"

"Eh? Oh, sorry, sorry, you're already tired. Hmm, I didn't even notice, what a failure. Cough... The bed is over there, it's absolutely safe! I've been cleaning it up for days, go and rest now?"

Following the direction pointed out by Secretary Fujiwara, Kiana found that the sheets and blankets were indeed as clean as new.

I'll probably fall asleep soon after lying down...

But looking at the bed, she sat cross-legged on the cushion, reached out and grabbed her fair, jade-like ankles, and stated quite decisively:

"...Then let's forget about it."

The Troubles of Being a New Student Council Member (Kaguya-sama: Love Is War): Chapter 30 Let's Play Cards!

Secretary Fujiwara's boudoir.

Kiana gently declined Secretary Fujiwara's invitation.

She wasn't sure if lying down to sleep as the other person asked would lead to something unfriendly because she was in a daze.

However, faced with her rationality, Secretary Fujiwara seemed quite disappointed:

"Huh? Why? If you're tired, you should rest, right?"

"You don't need to worry about me."

Kiana was grateful for Fujiwara's friendly concern, but she did not grant her wish.

After all, given her physical condition, she really doesn't need any rest.

However, look at Secretary Fujiwara's resentful little eyes.

Clearly, she won't be satisfied until she gets herself into bed today...

"that..."

Just as Kiana and Fujiwara were locked in a stalemate, Kaguya, who had been observing from the beginning, finally came to her senses.

She spoke slowly, breaking the standoff between the two, and then coughed.

"I really don't know what happened between you two... but I don't think it's anything bad, right?"

"Of course. By the way, is there something you need that you came to see Kiana-chan specifically, Kaguya-san?"

As Fujiwara spoke, he moved closer to Kaguya, resting his chin on his hand and asking her a question.

She stared at her blushing friend with her bright, large eyes, eager to understand why.

"Well... actually."

Faced with Fujiwara's question, Kaguya hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to voice her doubts.

"Actually, I have some questions I'd like to discuss with you, which are... about the president."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana instantly perked up.

Although the system indicated that she could complete the main storyline without much intervention.

But this does not mean that she can do nothing at all.

Threatening Miko is also one of the efforts made to complete the main storyline.

Well... although there were some minor setbacks, overall, the goal was achieved.

That's enough.

"What kind of problem is it, Kaguya? If there's anything you can't figure out, feel free to tell us."

To show her friendliness, Kiana spoke while extending her fair and strong hand and gently grasping Kaguya's hand.

"Huh? You can say it anytime... Kiana, are you really willing to help me?"

Kaguya glanced at the hand Kiana was holding, and for some reason, the blush on her face became even more delicate with shyness.

"of course."

"Hmm, okay."
