Starting With The Sefirah Castle In The Anime World Chapter 239: This, this is it? (BONUS)

7:45 in the morning, in Kaguya 's room.

"...So, you're saying that over the past week, you've been sending Fujiwara to Amamiya to deal with her sudden psychological issues?"

"Yes."

"And during that week, after addressing her psychological problem, Fujiwara Chika—the sow—stayed at Amamiya's house. You also stayed there to prevent the sow from doing anything unnecessary, right?"

"Yes."

"Finally, during that ti, you realized your own feelings for Amamiya and witnessed Fujiwara Chika, the sow, expressing her feelings for him as well?"

"Yes."

A series of yeses made Kaguya, still in her pajamas, feel her blood pressure rising uncontrollably.

"I'm not angry... I'm not angry... It's just that my friend and my maid both stayed at my boyfriend's house... It's just that the sow was nestled in Amamiya's arms out of boredom..."

Until now, Kaguya had considered Sonoko her biggest rival, but now her own friend and her maid had each stolen a first from her, one after another.

"Fujiwara's condition on Monday was truly terrible. I got a call from her when I was about to return to my room to sleep. Hearing the trembling in her voice, I rushed over imdiately."

"That night, Fujiwara was curled up in a dark corner, trying to avoid being discovered by her family."

Hayasaka knew Kaguya was extrely angry, so she carefully explained Chika's situation from that Monday night.

"..."

The furious Kaguya frowned. She didn't believe Hayasaka would lie about sothing like this.

"Was Fujiwara really in that bad of a state?"

"Yes."

Hayasaka bowed slightly.

"After I brought Miss Fujiwara to Amamiya's place, Amamiya has been the one comforting her through her emotional instability."

"That day, Amamiya also briefly explained to the situation that Miss Fujiwara was facing. He compared it to standing at ground zero of the Little Boy explosion. Miss Fujiwara was extrely lucky to have gotten away with just a few scratches."

Kaguya Shinomiya's expression twitched several tis.

The Little Boy explosion? That was a death sentence.

To co away with only a few scratches? That would an being completely incinerated, then sohow being reconstructed back into existence.

"Loss of control and corruption... is it really that serious?"

Calming herself, Kaguya felt that her emotions were finally back under control.

She believed Hayasaka's words. She also believed Chika's reaction, especially the look on her face when she spoke about it that day.

And she believed in that strange taphor. Ren was the one walking the sa Pathway as Chika, and only he truly understood the gravity of her situation.

After hesitating for a mont, Hayasaka gave her own thoughts.

"I believe the issue may indeed be that severe. Amamiya ntioned several tis that loss of control and corruption are irreversible. I think, if Amamiya hadn't been there to keep her stable, Miss Fujiwara might not even be human anymore."

Kaguya fell silent for a mont, then sighed helplessly.

"Well... Fujiwara's situation was unexpected. The problems she's facing are completely different from ours. It's only natural that she would need Amamiya's help when sothing happens that she can't handle alone."

Although it was infuriating to think of Chika monopolizing Ren's ti, Kaguya could understand if it was unavoidable.

"How has the situation been this week?"

Hayasaka bowed slightly and reported:

"Monday was the worst. Her emotional instability was extre, and her body would tremble uncontrollably."

"On Tuesday, things were more stable. Though there were still emotional flare-ups, they were far less intense than Monday."

"It was the sa on Wednesday and Thursday. Every day, her psychological trauma eased little by little, and she was able to fall asleep earlier each night."

"By Friday—last night—Amamiya officially confird that Miss Fujiwara's condition had stabilized, and there shouldn't be any more outbreaks. However, she still stayed at Amamiya's house last night."

After giving her report on the week's events, Hayasaka left out nothing. This was pretty much the full picture of Fujiwara's situation.

"To avoid worrying her family, I've also been getting up early every morning to send Miss Fujiwara ho. And to make sure she didn't end up alone with Amamiya, I've been sleeping next to Miss Fujiwara every night."

Indeed, leaving the sow alone with Ren was out of the question. Kaguya agreed with that.

She accepted that Chika needed treatnt, and that only Ren could provide it. As for Chika's feelings for Ren, that was sothing Kaguya had already suspected.

Their paths were intertwined now—how could they not get closer?

With this much constant contact, of course feelings would grow. Besides, Kaguya knew full well that Ren perfectly fit Chika's criteria for an ideal partner. These past few days had clearly helped deepen their bond.

After staying at Ren's house for an entire week, no matter how much Kaguya tried to rationalize, she couldn't shake the thought that Chika definitely now had romantic feelings for Ren.

Otherwise, if she had already recovered yesterday, why would she still be staying at his house? Clearly, it was because she liked him.

As for Hayasaka's explanation, it was also easy to understand.

Just as Hayasaka herself had said—one reason was to prevent Chika's family from worrying, and the other was to make sure Chika didn't get too much alone ti with Ren. The risk of things happening between them was too high.

Given the way this week had gone, Kaguya figured similar situations might happen again in the future. After all, outside of Chika, Hayasaka had spent the most ti with Ren this week. It wouldn't be surprising if Hayasaka also started to develop feelings for him.

Kaguya could even guess the reason behind it—maybe Hayasaka felt the sa way she did.

But then Kaguya paused.

"Hayasaka... you said you were sleeping next to Fujiwara? But Fujiwara was sleeping in Ren's arms, right?"

"Yes."

"So doesn't that an you were sleeping in the sa bed as Amamiya?"

"Kaguya-sama, Fujiwara was between and Ren. I stayed overnight specifically to keep her behavior in check."

Kaguya opened her mouth, then imagined the scene in her mind. Indeed, if Chika was nestled in Ren's arms, then Hayasaka would have been on the other side of her.

It seed there really was no issue there.
