"Hurry up, Kei-chan!!"
Good grief! Hearing that impatient and cheerful voice, everyone, including Kei, looked at Chika.
The excitement was written all over her face, as if Kei were about to step right into her trap.
"Kei-chan, hurry! Short pain is better than long pain. Just pick one!" Moeha urged her on.
Kei was an incredibly good girl—pure as a white lotus, hardworking, and possessing strong self-esteem. I really, really want to corrupt her! thought Moeha, her inner darkness showing.
Eventually, Kei couldn't escape the punishment. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she slowly drew a card from the deck.
"Quick! Let's see what the punishment is!"
Chika laughed happily. She had made this game herself, so she knew exactly what fun events lay in wait.
"Head... Head pat. (By a boy)"
Fighting back her shyness, Kei focused on the card in her hand.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
But with everyone staring straight at her, she had no chance to swap the card secretly. Resigned to her fate, she flipped the card over for everyone to see.
Let a boy pat your head?!
The moment they saw the text, almost everyone's gaze shifted to Lin Feng. He was the only boy present.
Since no specific name was mentioned, this was likely Chika trying to be clever. Her idea was probably for a mixed group of boys and girls to play; if a girl drew it, she could ask a boy she liked to pat her head. And if a boy drew it? Well, wouldn't that be a hilarious scene too?
It was dripping with Chika's malice.
Sitting on the floor, Kei forced down her exploding embarrassment. She stood up slowly and hesitantly approached Lin Feng, squeezing herself into the space between him and Hayasaka Ai.
Ai looked at her with question marks all over her face.
No way! This kid looks like such a good girl. And you've met Lin Feng at most twice! Today is only the second time, and you're doing this right off the bat? That's asking a lot.
"Lin... Lin Feng-senpai... p-please hurry!"
Do I really have to do this?!
Kei lowered her head, her ears burning red, her voice stuttering with nervousness. Her trembling hands gripped the hem of her shirt tightly, showing just how shy this good girl was about her decision.
But this was about her pride! A promise made to everyone had to be kept! Otherwise, she would be betraying her own principles.
Ai naturally felt a twinge of jealousy, but she could tolerate a simple head pat in front of everyone.
"Hurry up, Lin Feng-senpai!"
Before Chika could even get anxious, her sister Moeha started urging Lin Feng.
Her face was flushed with an unusual redness, as if she were the one about to receive the head pat, not Kei.
Lin Feng thought about it—the longer he dragged it out, the more nervous and shy Kei would become. It was best to get it over with quickly.
Within seconds, his large hand rested on Kei's head, gently stroking it back and forth a few times.
Kei didn't know what was happening. When he first touched her head, her whole body shuddered. But as Lin Feng expertly patted her head, Kei's body began to relax, and she soon leaned into his touch.
Is... is it really that comfortable?
Except for Ai, every girl in the room had the same thought. Especially Chika, who looked ready to rush up and take Kei's place.
Kaguya, sitting to Lin Feng's right, also cast longing glances at the interaction between Kei and Lin Feng. Since her mother passed away, no one had patted her head. Seeing Kei look so happy, Kaguya couldn't help but wish for it too.
Lin Feng was a God, and they were family in the Familia. Head pats between family members were normal, right?
But with so many people present, Kaguya felt too shy. Ideally... ideally, when it's just the two of us alone.
"Hehe! Captured!!" Saved!!
Moeha hadn't forgotten to take a picture. Seeing the cute Kei being patted by Lin Feng-senpai just made her look even cuter!
"Ahhh!!"
Hearing Moeha's voice, Kei froze. In the next second, she sprang up from the floor like a rocket, shouting loudly.
"Moe... ha!!"
It was all her best friend Moeha's fault! Yesterday too! None of these activities were planned; Moeha had suddenly suggested them. Since all the senpais present had agreed, Kei could only nod along. She never expected to be the one suffering in the end.
Shouting Moeha's name, Kei charged at her. The blush from her embarrassment, fueled by Moeha's antics, quickly returned to her face.
"Everyone, just sleep here tonight. I'll have the housekeeper prepare the guest rooms," Kaguya suggested, seeing that it was already around 10:30 PM and unsafe for them to go home.
"Agreed! Agreed! When we left today, we got permission from home to spend the night at Kaguya-chan's place!"
Good grief, as expected of you!
She didn't mention the sleepover in advance? What if Kaguya hadn't brought it up?
Also, since Chika knew, Moeha must have known too. How did she forget to mention it?
"What about Kei-chan? Did you tell your family?"
"Yes! Moeha told me we were staying at Kaguya-nee's place tonight."
Kei was confused. Wasn't this agreed upon from the start? Was it just a unilateral decision by the Fujiwara sisters?
"Tonight, I'm sleeping with Kaguya-chan!!"
"Hey, slow down!"
Chika lunged straight at Kaguya. Although Kaguya's base physical stats were higher than average, and she had received the Grace, she hadn't leveled up yet, so she couldn't react in time.
Unable to dodge, Kaguya was helplessly knocked to the ground by the ballistic missile that was Chika.
Pinning Kaguya down, Chika rubbed her cheek relentlessly against Kaguya's smooth, pale face.
"Kei-chan, Moeha-chan, I'll take you to get the rooms ready," Ai said, standing up and addressing the younger girls as she watched the scene unfold.
"O-Okay!"
Click!
With the sound of the door opening, the three figures left Kaguya's room one by one.
