The Shinomiya family has a great deal of real estate in Tokyo.
Aside from the villa near Mita Station, there is also a palace-like villa by Tokyo Bay. Looking out from the large glass windows on the third floor, one can see the shimring waves of Tokyo Bay's surface. From ti to ti, yachts pass from right to left, their long ship horns echoing for quite a while...
Early in the morning, Shinomiya Kaguya slowly opened her eyes, then turned over slightly.
After opening her eyes, Kaguya thought for a few seconds before finally recalling what had happened last night.
"Kaguya, are you up yet?"
Hayasaka Ai's voice ca from outside the door.
"I'm up!" Shinomiya Kaguya replied listlessly.
Hayasaka Ai pushed the door open and walked in. Her long blond hair stood out strikingly in the slightly dim room.
She sighed, walked to the window, pulled the curtains open as she always had before, then went to the wardrobe to get clothes.
"No need, Hayasaka, I can do it myself."
"What exactly did he do to you last night?" Ai-chan had just seen Sakurai Saki go out for a morning run downstairs earlier.
"He fucked silly."
"...This is the first ti I've seen you say things like that."
Hayasaka Ai was left speechless. The once pure and spotless Kaguya-hi—now only her beauty remained untainted.
"I'm just stating the truth."
Shinomiya Kaguya took the clothes she handed over and took off her pajamas. A spring scene was imdiately revealed. Her jade-smooth skin bore scattered red marks; just a brief glance was enough to tell how intense last night had been.
"Where's Fujiwara-san? Has she co over yet?"
As Kaguya adjusted her hair, she looked at Hayasaka Ai sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Umu, she's in the reception room downstairs."
"Sakurai-san went back to Kyoto a while ago. What do you think he went there to do?" Shinomiya Kaguya looked for sothing to talk about.
"Who knows?"
"Aren't you curious? If you went and asked him, he'd probably be very willing to tell you."
"Kaguya, won, you know—sotis living a bit stupidly makes life happier..."
It wasn't hard for Hayasaka Ai to guess what Sakurai Saki had been doing during those days.
"I don't want to beco a stupid woman."
Shinomiya Kaguya bent her fingers, counting the won currently surrounding Sakurai Saki: "Fujiwara-san, Iino Miko, you and —there are already four."
"As for the Nakano sisters, do you think he succeeded with them?"
Ai-chan's fingers stopped tapping on her phone. "Probably… not, right?"
"Are you sure?"
Sure? No, no, no—I even suspect he's already swept up all five sisters... Hayasaka Ai thought silently to herself.
Among the five sisters, the ones she could clearly confirm had feelings for Sakurai Saki were actually only two: Nakano Miku and Nakano Nino. As for the remaining sisters, Ai-chan didn't dare to be certain.
She had once called Sakurai Saki's mother; the last ti he returned to Kyoto, he also hadn't stayed at ho for long.
"Forget it, let's go downstairs first."
…
The two went downstairs together.
In the living room, beside the sofa.
Fujiwara Chika's face was covered with strips of white paper, on which the words "idiot" were written. It looked like she had played gas and lost quite a few tis...
"That's not fair! I demand a rematch!"
Chika-chan shouted loudly, looking extrely unconvinced.
"You have the nerve to say that kind of thing when you're the cheater?" Sakurai Saki shot her an annoyed glance.
Then he laughed wickedly and stuck another piece of paper onto her forehead.
"An extra punishnt for the loser."
"Uwaa, don't write 'idiot' on it, I'll really beco an idiot!"
After listening to the exchange between the two—
Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai glanced at each other.
'These two have been like this for over a year now—why hasn't the way they get along changed at all?'
It was still a feeling beyond friends, but not quite lovers.
Both of them found it very strange.
Fujiwara Chika had confessed that she liked Sakurai Saki for two years already... yet up until now, she still hadn't been eaten by Sakurai Saki—that scumbag?
Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but think—
'Does Sakurai-san really like Fujiwara-san?'
Such a thought popped into Kaguya's mind.
'Why did I think this idiot would be a rival in the first place?' Hayasaka Ai began to doubt the aning of her early confession. If Secretary-chan hadn't intervened, maybe she wouldn't have ended up self-destructing.
After self-destructing, it triggered a chain reaction, making it impossible for Hayasaka Ai to make up her mind to bind Sakurai Saki's heart tightly and not let him open a harem, resulting in the current situation.
The starting point of this butterfly effect was precisely Fujiwara Chika.
As a result—
In the end, Sakurai Saki had almost gone around scumbagging everyone, yet the most original one, Fujiwara Chika, still hadn't been touched...
Hayasaka Ai pondered, beginning to doubt life.
'No, no, no, we still can't let our guard down.' This was Fujiwara Chika, the granddaughter of Azathoth, an unpredictable chaotic creature. What if soday in the future she suddenly dragged Saki-chan to the ward office to register their marriage?
The possibility of a sneak attack on the main wife wasn't low at all!
By then, she shouldn't be called Fujiwara Chika anymore... but Sakurai Chika.
"Sa… Saki-kun, spare ."
While the other two were still thinking, Fujiwara Chika lost another round.
"What are you guys playing?"
Hayasaka Ai noticed that there were neither chess pieces nor cards in their hands.
"Eh? It's a very normal ga."
"Normal?"
"Umu. The two of us stare at each other—whoever's heart wavers first and moves their gaze first loses." Fujiwara Chika nodded as she spoke, the pieces of paper on her forehead lightly swaying.
Hayasaka Ai & Shinomiya Kaguya: "?"
Take back what we just said.
She has never stopped attacking from the beginning.
"Why are you all looking at like that?"
Doesn't everyone like him? Is my behavior really that strange? Fujiwara Chika didn't quite understand.
Silence.
"…Secretary-chan, at the very least, Saki-chan is still my boyfriend." Hayasaka Ai's expression was about to crack.
Playing this kind of ga with my boyfriend right in front of —isn't that a bit too much?
"Aren't you not married yet? Besides, Kaguya-san isn't any different..." Fujiwara Chika curled the corner of her mouth into a devil-like smile and looked toward Shinomiya Kaguya.
aning, 'I know about your relationship with him, you know~'.
Shinomiya Kaguya felt guilty and shifted her gaze away.
'Just who told her about it anyway!!'
Seeing this, Sakurai Saki lowered his head.
'If she asks , I don't have any choice either.'
Who would've thought she'd ask those kinds of questions without reading the room, and on the very night Miko-chan confessed, no less? No—rather, she's the only one who could ask questions like that.
"Kaguya-sama is different."
She is like my own flesh-and-blood sister!
So, there's no problem at all.
"Kaguya-san is different? Maybe she also wants to beco Lady Sakurai." Fujiwara Chika tilted her head.
"Huh?" Hayasaka Ai tilted her face to look at Kaguya.
Wait a second… could it be that I've been too lax in my vigilance toward Kaguya-sama? I even agreed to let her sleep in the sa bed as my boyfriend last night.
Shinomiya Kaguya covered her face.
Don't say it anymore, please stop saying it!
I really did once have the thought of marrying Sakurai-san, but! I only thought about it in my head, I never intended to put it into action at all!
'Waaah, just let die already.'
This is way too embarrassing!
Moreover—
"Didn't we already openly express our feelings to him long ago? Then why are we still arguing over this?"
Shinomiya Kaguya went all in, no longer pretending.
"That's true." Fujiwara Chika nodded.
Hayasaka Ai also nodded and said, "As long as soone still hasn't made up their mind, then discussing these things has no aning anyway."
After that—
The three of them simultaneously looked toward Sakurai Saki.
Ai-chan smiled and said, "Saki-chan, who are you planning to marry?"
Sakurai Saki, who had been 'eating lon' and watching the drama halfway through, completely didn't expect things to end like this.
He quietly took out his phone and pretended to answer a call:
"Kei-chan? You're here already? I'll co pick you up right away."
Shurafield is truly terrifying—better to run first.
