"Shiro, you are really a confident person!"
"And you are also very incredible!"
This young girl, as a member of the royal family, knew many things. If even Ghost Blade died at his hands, then that was enough to prove that he, at her age, was already one of the top powerhouses in the universe. If not the strongest, then definitely among the top.
When she tried to stand up, after all, their current position was a bit too close, even she felt somewhat embarrassed. However, just as she started to get up, a gust of wind suddenly blew, startling her, and then knocking her down. The main reason was that, combined with her somewhat abrupt movement, it directly caused her, who was already off balance, to fall.
Shiro watched this scene, somewhat confused. No way? No way? Again?
Since he himself felt a bit strange, in the next moment he could only watch as she fell. Their faces came close again, and this time they were so close that they were practically touching. Of course, some parts were already touching.
Their lips were already pressed together.
At this moment, Ren was somewhat confused. What the hell just happened? She had just been knocked down by a gust of wind, and it turned into this? This was her first kiss.
At this moment, this somewhat cunning girl felt a slight dizziness every time she found herself in such a situation. Then she quickly realized that the touch was wrong, she had been touched, and then was pulled in until they separated. At this moment, her face was red, and then she stood up and ran away without saying a word.
Shiro thought it was great. The main point was that he would be a fool not to take advantage of a good opportunity, and he had no intention of being that fool, so he had no choice but to take advantage of it.
On the other side, Ren found a deserted place, then sat down with a thud and hid her face in her knees. At this moment, her face was incredibly red.
After calming down, she stretched out her hand and touched her lips, recalling what had just happened. Her eyes were full of confusion. What kind of feeling is this? Why is her heart beating so fast? She was even completely drawn in just now.
...
"Chika, did you call me here for something?"
After school, Shiro originally planned to lie in someone's lap for a while, and then go find someone, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by a message from Chika.
"Hello, Shiro."
Shiro looked at the energetic pink-haired girl in front of him, and a smile also appeared on his face. He noticed that the pink-haired girls around him all seemed to be the energetic type.
Some of them were the type where the pinker the hair, the stronger they fight.
"Chika, do you need something from me?"
Shiro came to the student council room and sat down as if he had returned to his own territory. It could be said that he really didn't act like a stranger.
Fujiwara Chika smiled at this moment and leaned closer, stating her purpose without any hesitation.
"This weekend is my grandfather's birthday banquet."
"My grandfather asked me to invite you. I wonder if you, Shiro, have time to come."
After finishing, her eyes sparkled as she looked at Shiro.
Shiro was stunned after hearing this, somewhat confused.
"That's strange. I don't think I've had any connection with your family, or rather, the only person I've had contact with here is you. Why would they invite me?"
Shiro couldn't figure it out for a moment, he was somewhat confused.
And Fujiwara Chika also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, it's really strange."
"This isn't my party. I don't like these kinds of parties like grandfather's birthday, full of important people and flattery. It's not fun at all."
"Exactly, honestly, I don't like these kinds of parties either."
Shiro also agreed.
Kaguya Shinomiya, listening to these two complaining and wondering why they were invited, had countless black lines on her forehead. Do these two have no self-awareness at all?
Shiro was busy with many things, so it was understandable if he had amnesia, but what about Chika? What's wrong with you?
Don't tell me you don't even know your own family's situation. Please, young lady, you are the second young lady of the main family.
You don't even know the real situation. It had to be said that Kaguya Shinomiya was truly impressed, but also somewhat envious. This was really the type of carefree person waiting for an arranged marriage.
"Shiro, your tea."
While Shiro and the other party were discussing, Hayasaka Ai brought tea, and after Shiro took a sip, he sighed.
"Seriously, Ai, why don't you come over to my side? The offer is still the same: the conditions are negotiable, you can set your own price. You won't have to work so hard; at most it's breakfast, dinner, and a little work in the evening."
Hayasaka Ai had to admit that the offer was indeed tempting, and Kaguya Shinomiya flared up.
"baka!"
"Can you stop trying to poach my people? If you want to recruit, go find people somewhere else."
"I won't let her go, idiot, forget about that idea."
"And Ai, from now on, when this guy comes, just give him plain water."
Kaguya Shinomiya was angry at this moment, after all, this Shiro was too aggressive, always trying to poach her people.
"And you two, do you really not know, or are you just pretending not to know, why Fujiwara's grandfather invited this guy to his birthday banquet?"
Fujiwara Chika tilted her head after hearing this, seeking an explanation.
"I don't remember any old man I've dealt with being this old man."
"At most, I remember seeing him at the Kirishima family banquet, and after one look, I didn't pay attention. I don't remember ever dealing with him."
Shiro was sure his memory was fine; even at such banquets, he rarely interacted with those people.
"Hmm, if I remember correctly, when I saw you at that banquet, you were like an invisible person, to the point that those who didn't know would think you were a son-in-law or something, someone who couldn't be shown, or like a temporary boyfriend. Honestly, in the eyes of many people, if it weren't for that young lady from the Kirishima family holding onto you, you would have been forgotten."
Kaguya Shinomiya found it somewhat funny when she recalled it, but she also noticed something.
"Now that I think about it, it wasn't as those people said, that you weren't used to such places so you didn't dare to communicate with people. It was simply that you looked down on those people and were too lazy to communicate, right?"
Kaguya Shinomiya sighed, recalling past events.
"Yes, I also saw you at that banquet before, Shiro, you looked so lonely."
Fujiwara Chika also recalled at this moment.
"Come on, it's not about whether I'm lonely or not; I'm just too lazy to communicate with those people. After all, you see, if I make a move, everyone has to be on the same level. So in a way, they come to toast me, not the other way around, understand?"
Shiro spoke in a lazy tone, leaning back in his chair.
"Emmm, I have to say, what you said makes sense, and this time, I feel like you'll be very busy, after all, your identity has undergone a magnificent change."
Kaguya Shinomiya could imagine countless people approaching him, whether to get acquainted, flatter him, or for other motives; this person wouldn't be able to rest.
"So, does that have anything to do with Shiro being invited by grandfather?"
Fujiwara Chika was still in her innocent mode at this moment, so she asked this question, and Shiro already knew the answer.
"Although the Fujiwara family has been engaged in politics for generations, they are also involved in business, otherwise they wouldn't be able to maintain the family's operation."
"Not to mention this country. The Fujiwara group is considered a mid-sized conglomerate, although it's different in politics."
"But it just so happens that 39% of their shares are in my hands, so of course I have to be invited."
