The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, she slowly closed the book.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

Seeing that Kiana had finished reading, Secretary Fujiwara immediately came forward, asking questions with a face full of curiosity.

Seeing how concerned she was, Kiana had no choice but to honestly reply:

"...I don't really like it, but the illustrations and cover are indeed very beautiful."

"I knew it! Hehe, I have great taste!"

Secretary Fujiwara said these words with a smile, then opened the book and looked at it.

Soon, the expression on her face changed from joy to fear and bewilderment...

"that..."

Seeing the two chatting so congenially, Kaguya, who felt completely unable to accept it, finally mustered up the courage to come closer and whispered to Kiana:

"Kiana, do you really think these illustrations... are acceptable?"

"Huh? Um, Kaguya-san, do you mean these paintings are ugly?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. It's just... is it normal for a girl to dress like this?"

Kaguya, clutching her slightly racing heart, asked the question with great confusion.

She couldn't understand why Kiana and Fujiwara were completely indifferent to this.

Having received a proper upbringing, she couldn't understand the reason behind it at all.

"Could it be... that my thinking is wrong?"

"I can assure you, nothing of the sort happened."

Kiana closed the book and slowly uttered these words.

Hearing her speak so frankly, Kaguya breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then asked incredulously:

"Really? Kiana, you didn't just say that to comfort me, did you?"

"How could that be? I just think that personal preferences... as long as it doesn't bother others, it's within acceptable limits."

"Hmm...that's a wise decision. Speaking of which, do you think the president...would like these things?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana was stunned.

Will the president like it...?

Are you planning to give him an 18+ light novel as a gift?

this...

Looking at the light novel that Fujiwara had put back, Kiana felt that her answer might have a profound impact...

The Troubles of a New Student Council Member (Kaguya-sama: Love Is War): Chapter 33 To rescue the unconscious Kaguya, Kiana had no choice but to...

If it's just a light novel, then it's fine.

After all, the president is not a well-mannered young lady, so she will definitely accept it.

But if it's a light novel, then it might really not work.

After all, it would be too strange if she were the one to send it...

Kiana didn't know how Shirogane felt about regretting receiving the gift, but she was certain of it.

Most likely, they won't have any good ideas...

"I think if we're going to give something as a gift, we could choose something well-known. Hmm... how about we ask Secretary Fujiwara to help us pick one out?"

Because she wasn't very familiar with the light novel genre in this world, Kiana naturally handed over the responsibility of providing guidance to Secretary Fujiwara.

"Huh? You're asking me? Hmm... let me think, recently I've talked to Xiao Gui about..."

After being given this important task, Secretary Fujiwara did not refuse anything.

It was quite natural for them to start helping to select light novels.

She mostly selected those unusual items that were placed behind the counter and not many people paid attention to.

These types of works are usually based on wild imagination, and some sell well while others sell poorly.

While the two were choosing books, Kiana also went over to take a look and found that these books were quite interesting.

"Secretary Fujiwara has good taste, haha! This book is quite interesting, hmm... I'll pick a few interesting ones to read slowly in the next world."

With this in mind, Kiana slowly reached for the book.

As he was carrying it, he accidentally bumped into a delicate young girl.

"ah!"

A slightly familiar voice rang out, surprising Kiana, who wondered who it was.

However, after realizing that she had bumped into someone, she quickly reached out to help the person up.

"Oh, sorry. Are you alright? Um, you're... Xiao Gui?"

When Kiana reached out her hand, she was surprised to find that the person she had bumped into was none other than Shirogane's sister.

Silver scepter...

At this moment, after rubbing her sore bottom, she quickly looked up at Kiana:

"You are... Kiana-senpai? I'm so sorry!"

Seemingly out of fear, or perhaps because she remembered something embarrassing, Xiao Gui blushed and lowered her head.

He didn't dare reach out to take Kiana's outstretched hand.

It was only thanks to Secretary Fujiwara noticing something was wrong and coming over to help pull people away that she was able to stand up hesitantly.

"Um, what a coincidence, senpai..."

"Oh, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Kiana scratched the back of her head and gave a friendly smile.

She never expected to bump into Xiao Gui browsing in the bookstore.

And quite coincidentally, while picking out books, I accidentally bumped into her and knocked her down...

This luck is truly unbelievable.

"Yes, that's right. Speaking of which, is that... Kaguya-senpai over there?"

Xiao Gui tidied her slightly messy hair, then turned her gaze to Kaguya, who was following behind Secretary Fujiwara, afraid of being recognized.

Seeing that she had asked, Secretary Fujiwara and Kiana exchanged glances.

Then, Fujiwara, the secretary who had suggested coming here to select a secretary, slowly shook her head and said, "No, she is actually... my junior high school classmate!"

"Eh? Is that so?"

"Of course, of course! Kei-chan, why don't you trust me? It's really disheartening..."

Secretary Fujiwara smiled and, without batting an eye, helped cover for him.

In any case, it was her suggestion that we come here.

She would feel guilty if being recognized by Kei-chan caused any negative consequences.

"Is that so... Hmm, so you're Fujiwara-senpai's junior high school classmate?"

"Yes! That's right!"

Seeing Secretary Fujiwara nodding affirmatively, Kei, who had initially harbored doubts, pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded in agreement:

"Is that so? Actually—!"

"What's wrong? Gui, why aren't you leaving? Hey, what's wrong with you guys...?"

Just when everything was going smoothly, and Xiao Gui was about to be completely fooled by Secretary Fujiwara.

A familiar male voice slowly appeared in the bookstore.

"Kaguya? Secretary Fujiwara? And a transfer student?"

Upon seeing who it was, Kiana and the other two all showed expressions of astonishment.

The three of them never expected that Guild Master Shirogane would also appear here...

At this moment, the president was dressed in casual clothes, unlike his strict and model demeanor at school.

They looked very relaxed and casual.

It's hard to imagine that the usually composed president would appear so approachable after changing his clothes.

"President!!!"

After being recognized by the student council president, Kaguya was so frightened that she screamed.

She slumped to the ground as if she had lost her soul, and from her slightly parted cherry lips, one could vaguely see a whitish, ethereal spirit fluttering out...

"Wow... I never thought I could see such a spectacle in this world!"

Kiana looked around and found that everyone else seemed to be completely unfazed by it.

It seems they are completely blind...

I have to say, it's quite novel.

Of course, novelty is one thing, but right now we need to figure out a way to wake Kaguya up, otherwise it's not good for her to just lie on the floor all the time.

Thinking of this, Kiana coughed softly, then asked Secretary Fujiwara:

"How to do?"

"What else can we do... Sigh... we guess we'll have to resort to CPR?"

"Oh, so who will come?"

After Kiana finished speaking, she stared intently at Secretary Fujiwara's pretty face.

Upon noticing her gaze, the other person crossed their arms and puffed out their chest in obvious displeasure.
