Chapter 10: Fujiwara Chika's Keikaku
Student council room.
The Aeroplane Chess showdown is still going on!
"I roll the dice and summon a three! Appear! My Tama-shi! Crimson red flight path, I activate its effect! When the plane passes through the crimson red path, it can knock an opponent's piece on the route into the graveyard! This effect can only be activated once per turn." Ishigami Yuu started high.
⎛⎝( ` ᢍ ´ )⎠⎞ᵐᵘʰᵃʰᵃ
"Yamero! My plane!" Shirogane Miyuki clenched his fist as his last piece, just about to reach the goal, was knocked away.
༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽
Damn that cursed crimson red path!
He rolled a six again and launched his plane.
But it was too late.
"Heh, now it's my turn!" Sakurai Saki laughed coldly.
"This time, I will take the victory!"
With that said, he was about to throw the dice.
Time! Three seconds later.
"Ei~!"
Fujiwara Chika's body suddenly lost balance, and she "accidentally" fell toward Sakurai.
[Ara ma! What a great chance! Hurry and hold her! Hehe~ so soft, Chika-chan~ hehe~ smooch smooch~]
(ง ˃ ³ ˂)ว ⁼³₌₃⁼³
What the hell are you saying?
Right now I! Want to win!
Sakurai angrily threw the dice!
The dice spun in mid-air, moved, then fell onto the table.
"Four points! I win!" Sakurai proudly moved the piece into the goal.
Shirogane Miyuki gritted his teeth in frustration.
Kusho ga!
Just a little more!
Clearly, this was a great opportunity to help Kei-chan make friends.
Yet I ended up wasting it!
Kei-chan, can you hear me!!!
I will... I will never... LOSE AGAIN!!!
(ง ͠ಥ_ಥ)ง
Ishigami Yuu also looked up at the ceiling, where a tear seemed to fall from the corner of his eye.
Lost.
Utterly lost.
So this…
Is the feeling of defeat?
Even though I've lost a lot of games before, I still… wanted to win this one!
ᕙ( ᗒᗣᗕ )ᕗ
Fujiwara Chika was lying on Sakurai Saki's lap, a little unwilling to get up.
Sakurai-kun's lap is so comfortable!
Fufufu~ Everything Just According to Keikaku!
(˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)
Standing to the side, Shinomiya Kaguya watched for several minutes with a blank expression.
(•_•)
Her wine-red eyes were devoid of light.
"Eh! Kaguya-san!" Fujiwara Chika, lying on Sakurai's lap, called out in a bizarre position.
"Fujiwara-san, you lunged at me just now to stop me from throwing the dice, didn't you?" Sakurai lifted her head.
You've been lying here for a whole minute already, don't make me become a "gender equality advocate."
[Creating an entire game just for a lap pillow ~ Umu ~ a maiden in love is just too cute!~]
"Ah~ that's not it." Chika's eyes darted all around, her face full of panic.
(,,>﹏<,,)
[Awawa~ Chika-chan playing dumb is really cute too!~]
ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
You've used the word "cute" too many times already.
To the point that it's not cute anymore.
Ishigami Yuu complained: "To interfere with the opponent just to win, Fujiwara-senpai, that's really low."
"Exactly, Secretary Fujiwara, next time we play a game, you have to follow the rules." Shirogane Miyuki lectured.
'Thank goodness they didn't notice my little move just now.' Ishigami Yuu secretly let out a sigh of relief.
'Using a gentle force to control which face lands up on the dice, that probably doesn't count as cheating, right?' Shirogane Miyuki thought.
Sakurai Saki, on the other hand, had zero self-awareness.
Superpowers are part of him—how could that be called cheating? Isn't that right?
"Oh right, the movie tickets, here you go!" Fujiwara Chika pulled out two tickets from her pocket.
"Sakurai-kun, go watch a movie with a friend this weekend!"
"Umu." Sakurai Saki accepted the tickets, then handed them to President Shirogane.
"Shirogane, go watch a movie with Kei-chan this weekend. I'm not interested in the recent releases."
That wasn't a lie.
But it wasn't entirely true either.
Sakurai Saki just didn't have anyone he wanted to go with, so he was too lazy to go.
Going to the movies alone—it's just a bit too depressing.
A cinema full of couples.
Sitting in a dark corner.
Watching a tragic film and sinking into sorrow.
While your mouth is stuffed full of "dog food."
Just thinking about it makes you want to cry!
(っ˃̣̣̥ -˂̣̣̥ς)
"Just think of it as a gift for Kei-chan." Sakurai Saki didn't want to be rejected by him.
"Thanks." President Shirogane accepted the tickets.
"Kei-chan? That's the president's little sister?" Secretary Fujiwara caught the key point!
"Kaguya-san, you come sit over here too~ don't just stand there."
As Fujiwara Chika spoke, she shifted her body toward Sakurai, sticking close to him.
Sakurai was forced to sit on the edge of the sofa.
Shinomiya Kaguya did not reject her goodwill and sat down next to Chika.
Luckily, the sofa was big enough.
Otherwise, Sakurai might have walked off right there.
Also, Fujiwara-san, you're sitting way too close.
[Uwaa!!! Chika-chan, get away from him a bit! Chika-chan! Your chest... your chest touched him already! This lady can't take it anymore!]
Are you a diehard fan simping for an idol or something?
It's just some fat touching his arm, okay?
"Ah~ yes, she's my younger sister. But lately she's entered her rebellious phase." Shirogane Miyuki had a sorrowful expression.
(ᴗ_ ᴗ.)
"Girls are hard to understand. Ever since she hit that phase, she doesn't even talk to me anymore."
Are you the kind of older brother obsessed with his little sister, Siscon-san?
Sakurai Saki spoke up: "Kei-chan just doesn't want to seem too close to her brother, but she still cares about you a lot inside."
As soon as he finished, Fujiwara Chika added: "This is what they call a tsundere! Right!? Tsundere characters are super popular!"
"Heh." Ishigami Yuu sneered disdainfully as soon as he heard it.
What do you even know, Fujiwara-senpai?
Tsundere is so outdated.
"Tsundere?!" Shirogane Miyuki asked in confusion.
What's that?
Fujiwara Chika enthusiastically explained: "It's those girls who don't say what they really feel! Clearly they like you, but they can't say it out loud—'Awawa~ xxx-kun~ clearly I really like him, but after some close contact I subconsciously punch him, what should I do?'"
"That's what tsundere is!"
After saying that, Chika pointed at Kaguya.
(づ๑•ᴗ•๑)づ (•_•)
"Kaguya-san is a tsundere too!"
No no no, this is just purely an Ice Princess. Even if she really is a tsundere…
The tsun part on her is way too overpowered!
[Pff~ Kaguya-chan's expression is killing me. That murderous look of hers, she can't hide it. Hahaha!]
Please don't laugh inside my head, thanks.
"Heretical like you~~!! I can't take it!!" Ishigami Yuu's voice suddenly rose, filled with irritation, "Don't just skim through wiki pages and pretend like you understand, Fujiwara-senpai—do you really get what a tsundere is?"
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
"That contrast feeling is what makes tsundere characters attractive! The tsun part doesn't matter! What matters is the [DERE] part!"
Ishigami Yuu was full of ridicule.
That's why, all you "heretics" who blindly go along with the hype are seriously annoying.
Kaguya coldly glanced at Fujiwara Chika, then shifted her gaze to Ishigami.
Ishigami: (っ- ‸ - ς) Please, stop looking me.
Sorry, I was too arrogant!
Wait until I go into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train and then I'll come back.
"Ah~ today's weather is really nice." Ishigami Yuu acted like nothing happened, grabbed his bag, and started packing up.
"Senpai, I've got something to do, please excuse me."
A few minutes later, Ishigami Yuu left the battlefield.
Sakurai Saki sat down next to President Shirogane.
"Glup~" Shirogane gulped.
Sakurai Saki still had that cold expression.
Now, it was two versus two.
Ice Princess Kaguya had entered the game.
A crisis like no other before!
