I refuse to be a plagiarist

Well... in short, it is very soft and tender, and has a little bit of stimulation.

Especially when paired with the cute girl's gaze looking up.

In a ray of sunlight, the other person's pair of smiling eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and even Hasegawa couldn't help but be stunned.

".........This is?"

"Hehe...Since the young lady wants to see it, then we might as well just let her watch it."

There was a hint of revengeful mischief in the smile.

Facing the girl who seemed to be thinking of some counterattack plan, Hasegawa Hide said nothing, but in his heart he couldn't help but complain about Miss Shinomiya who seemed to have not given up her action in the distance.

——Why are you doing this?

As a valet, in terms of ability, Hayasaka Ai is undoubtedly a reliable person with all skills maxed out, and she is extremely loyal to Kaguya.

But rather than being an absolute master and servant, the two are often more like partners who support each other and grow together.

It is precisely because of this that, in many cases, Hayasaka Ai has conditions in the Shinomiya family that far exceed the limitations of her own profession.

For example...the control over the inner world of one's own young lady.

What has our Miss Kaguya Shinomiya been most concerned about since entering high school?

Isn't it a serious and righteous warrior named Shirogane Yuxing?

As the two of them were running towards each other, their intimacy with each other was gradually increasing, and now the distance between them was probably only a piece of window paper away from a complete explosion.

Unfortunately, in many cases, the distance between zero and one is so absolute that even if 99.99% is completed, it cannot be considered a victory if it does not reach 100%.

So for Kaguya Shinomiya at this stage, and Miyuki Shirogane who is in confusion and chaos in the distance, the thing that can most stimulate them, apart from each other, is probably the progress of love affairs of their peers, especially those who are close to them.

Whether it's sour or stimulating...

Now that her date was interrupted, Hayasaka no longer wanted to consider how the person involved would react after seeing it.

While she was touched by the pursuit of her own eldest daughter, she also felt deeply helpless and ashamed of being looked down upon.

[Are you afraid that I might not be the right person to choose? ]

[Just kidding... Miss Kaguya, who do you think is secretly helping you to end all those blunders you usually make?]

——Xiujun, let’s just show our love to some “single” guy!

The steps gradually became playful and lively.

From this we can see that although the girl was determined to hit the target with every blow, she was also enjoying the dating process very much.

The smile on his face was so natural and cheerful, completely different from his usual icy protective color.

However, compared to this change, a certain young lady who should have noticed it at the same time as Hasegawa, completely focused her attention on other angles.

Beneath the pretended calm expression, there is an indescribable emotion brewing.

Envy and...yearning?

No, she would never admit it.

but.......

[If the man and woman walking in front of me at this moment were not Hayasaka and the boy from another school, but myself and the president, what kind of scene would it be? ]

This thought involuntarily came to my mind.

After witnessing the closest friend around you find himself or herself together, your heart, which has gradually become soft in the battle of love, will inevitably start to have unrealistic thoughts.

Especially since there is Secretary Fujiwara around who always sighs, "Ah, love is so desirable", "What do you think, Kaguya-san", and keeps on talking nonsense.

Waibi waibi, waibi babu.

It seemed as if the devilish voice gradually changed the girl's will.

At this moment, Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly found that her previous sour and envious feeling, and even her beautiful imagination and longing for her and the president's future, had gradually changed under the interference of her good friend Fujiwara Chika, and finally simply solidified into the other's innocent smile.

"Hey hey hey~~ Kaguya-chan.

Seeing Hayasaka and the others in love, did your heart also begin to stir?"

“…Humph, boring.

High school students have extra time and energy. Instead of wasting it on things like this, they might as well improve themselves or prepare for the future in advance.

It is too lazy to hang out with the opposite sex every day and laugh like a fool. "

Very good, this is very Kaguya.

It is clearly an attempt to cover up the sour grapes, but combined with the achievements of this young lady herself, it has been transformed into a faithful admonition from an outstanding individual to the general public.

After listening to her speech, even her good friend Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but open her mouth wide, somewhat expressing her disbelief.

[No, that's not possible...]

[Have I really been too lazy?! ]

After all, among the members of the student union, she is the one who loves to play the most, except for Ishigami, who is considered an "outsider".

Faced with Kaguya-sama's well-reasoned and righteous criticism, at this moment, the originally cheerful Fujiwara Chika's face suddenly fell, and she fell into deep self-reflection.

Chapter 199: I, Fujiwara no Chika, am ashamed to be associated with him

"So... So that's how it is?

Ha ha ha ha........."

His eyes subconsciously turned to one side.

Under the stern rebuke from her best friend, a certain young lady who loved to play by nature gradually revealed a hint of guilt on her face.

Even though her own experience has nothing to do with the theme of "Love Battle", the way she tries to be sneaky and cunning on weekdays is completely consistent with what Kaguya just criticized.

As mentioned before, there is a gap between "genius" and "genius".

Compared to an existence like Shinomiya Kaguya who is at the level of crushing in all aspects, even with the pride of Fujiwara Chika, when actually making a comparison, she can't help but feel a sense of pressure brought by the admiration, so naturally there is no "pride" to speak of.

And the most important thing is that the two of them have been close partners for a long time, so when she heard Shinomiya Kaguya say "admonition" so openly, in addition to simply listening as a partner, Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but think: Is the other party trying to remind her of something that it is not easy to say directly as a friend?

Different from the carefree attitude between boys, sometimes girls are relatively reserved when interacting with each other.

Like now.

The clever mind and the friendship between the two made Fujiwara Chika rarely start to reflect on her daily life.

It would be fine if she didn't reflect on it, but when she thought back to her daily life in school, compared to the other members of the student union, Fujiwara Chika felt a sense of guilt that made her ashamed.

Not to mention her good friend Kaguya, even the president, who once exposed all kinds of embarrassing aspects in front of her in private, is a "hard-working warrior" who seizes every bit of time to improve himself.

[Could it be that... I am the same level of loser as that guy Ishigami?! ]

I sat up in shock when I was dying of illness. The clown turned out to be me.

Having come to this conclusion in her mind, Fujiwara Chika hugged her head, her cute facial features now filled with a look of fear.

Admittedly, as a junior, Ishigami Yu is a good guy with a passionate heart, but in terms of academic performance and specialties, this guy is indeed relatively poor in Shuchiin, which is full of talented people.

On the other hand, during the time they spent together in the student union office, Fujiwara Chika, who liked to play tricks, was repeatedly caught by this junior who had a high sense of justice, and this happened in front of Kaguya and Shirogane, which was like a public execution and was really embarrassing.

In this way, the two of them are definitely not very friendly with each other.

In front of Ishigami, Fujiwara Chika, as a senior, has no dignity as a senior; in Fujiwara's heart, the junior named Ishigami is just a fool who does not know the art of compromise.

The girl found it hard to accept the humiliation she felt from the bottom of her heart when the secretary put her on the same level as Ishigami.

"Kaguya-san......"

"Ok?"

"Please give me special training during the holidays!"

The eyes that once radiated innocence and romance are now filled with seriousness and determination.

Regardless of whether it was just a three-minute fad or not, at least the aura rising from Fujiwara Chika at this moment made Shinomiya Kaguya, who was looking directly at her, tremble.

“…Excuse me.

What does Secretary Fujiwara's 'special training' refer to?"

"Of course, I'll completely crush that guy on the stone!"

"........."

[How did Ishigami-san provoke you again? ! ]

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief in an extremely elegant manner.

No matter what, Fujiwara Chika's "murderous" look really requires Kaguya to slow down, as she has not yet come to terms with it.

The girls are communicating intimately, and the situation is very good.

While the two were having fun, after some ideological struggle, Baiyin Yuxing finally stood up again from his confusion and depression, determined to take a good look at what was going on.

"Manager, I'm going!"

The dignified face with dark circles under his eyes had a stern look at it because of his inner determination.

He already figured it out.

As a man, you still have to work hard for some things.

and........

【Hasegawa-kun sent me a text message secretly, so I guess he didn’t mean to let me rush.】

【Encouragement from close friends...】

Thinking of this, the young man took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

But the blue color of those eyes became even brighter.

“Oh, nice look.

Come on, kid!"

Perhaps seeing Baiyin Yuxing's determination, the store manager patted the boy on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up encouragingly, saying,

"Charge bravely toward your goal.

If you are a man, you can't back down so easily!"

"Oh, thanks, manager!"

He took off his work clothes and mounted his bicycle like a brave soldier.

Under the watchful eyes of the store manager, Baiyin Yuxing looked straight ahead, exerted force with his thighs, and rushed towards the target...

[I don’t know if I can catch up. ]

[Please wait for me, Shinomiya! ]

While waiting for the traffic light, he did not forget to take out his mobile phone and send a distress signal to his best friend in the distance to confirm whether his sweetheart was still in that area.

“Ding—dong!”

"Ok?"

"Hey, reinforcements are coming soon."

Facing Hayasaka's inquiring gaze, Hasegawa Hide, who was shopping with his arm around his, looked at the screen and smiled, then showed the text message on his phone to the girl.

"President Shirogane... seems to be a little slow in doing things."

Out of consideration for the guy's face and her own upbringing, the maid who usually focused on efficiency did not say anything elegant and easy-going at this time.

In response to the girl's personal complaint, Hasegawa Hide said that he could understand her feelings very well. He pulled his arm out of her arms and hooked his arm around her neck like a good friend to explain:

"After all, this is about a girl I've secretly liked for a long time...

Plus, Baiyin already had a serious inferiority complex, so it was probably good that he didn't faint on the spot after hearing such explosive news."

"........'It's about the person you like'?"

"correct."

Hayasaka Ai's whispered words did not escape Hasegawa's ears.

But compared to the complex and meaningful thoughts of the girl, his thoughts on this matter were simple and crude, and even carried a little pride.
