Chapter 250: Men Actually Have a Voice Change Period?
After chatting for a while, Fujiwara Chika called Shinomiya Kaguya and Eriri over. The two could only stop their romance discussion, which had barely begun a few minutes ago, and walked toward them.
It was fortunate they had only been talking for a few minutes, otherwise Fujiwara Chika's romance radar might have picked up on it.
While browsing the store, Shinomiya Kaguya, as she had said, wasn't actually looking to buy clothes; she was simply looking around. However, she offered quite a few suggestions when Eriri and Usami were selecting outfits.
After all, as the Ojou-sama raised by the Shinomiya Family, her fashion sense was impeccable, and it was certainly a level above Eriri's taste.
As for why she didn't pick clothes for Fujiwara Chika... given Fujiwara Chika's figure, Shinomiya Kaguya felt that simply picking out clothes for her and seeing the clothing sizes would be a huge blow.
When noon arrived, it was time for lunch. The four found a Japanese restaurant in the mall and requested a private room.
After sitting down and ordering, urged by Eriri, Shinomiya Kaguya began recounting the events of the previous Student Council President election.
"Originally, our plan was foolproof. With my supporting speech, Ishigami-kun's presentation slides, and the Student Council President's achievements and prestige over the past year, victory was guaranteed. But unfortunately, as I told you before, Eriri, there was a slight hiccup involving Iino."
Slowly stirring the drink in her cup with a straw, Shinomiya Kaguya said with a faint smile, "During the live speech, when Iino took the stage, I discovered her weakness for the first time. Although she normally looks very strict, when she stood in front of everyone, she became too nervous and couldn't speak properly. But just when victory was certain, the Student Council President suddenly walked out."
Shinomiya Kaguya didn't even need to elaborate on what happened next; Eriri already knew what Shirogane Miyuki was going to do. After all, both Kaede and Eriri had known Shirogane Miyuki for some time and were very clear about his character.
Meeting Eriri's gaze, Shinomiya Kaguya smiled and nodded: "That's right. Under the Student Council President's guidance, Iino finally stopped being nervous, and the two began debating a series of issues, which lasted for a long time. Although the election was successfully won in the end, Iino genuinely gained a lot of votes directly from that speech and debate."
Fujiwara Chika also nodded in agreement: "Exactly, exactly! We were all so nervous then! Luckily, we won in the end, and little Miko also joined the Student Council!"
Usami blinked her eyes and said in surprise, "Although I didn't witness it firsthand, just hearing you Seniors talk about it makes me imagine the scene perfectly."
"Hehe, I have pictures of it too!"
Fujiwara Chika immediately took out her phone, pulled up the photos of the debate scene, and showed them to Eriri and Usami.
Leaning in to look, they saw Shirogane Miyuki and Iino Miko standing opposite each other on the auditorium stage, each holding a microphone, clearly engaged in a heated debate.
And in the other photos, you could also see the extremely excited students below the stage.
"Oh!!! The teachers and students from the entire school really were there."
Usami saw this and said, "I sort of understand the girl on the stage now. In a situation like that, with everyone staring at just you, it's hard not to be nervous. If I went up there, I probably wouldn't be able to say a single word."
Eriri nodded in agreement. Although she didn't have stage fright, she would still feel a little nervous deep down in front of such a large crowd. She would need to spend quite a bit of time adjusting her mindset to ensure she didn't make any mistakes.
Regarding the Student Council President election, Shinomiya Kaguya only spoke selectively. Naturally, she wouldn't mention the parts about securing student votes or collecting dirt on other candidates to make them withdraw voluntarily.
As they chatted, the dishes they ordered started arriving, so everyone paused for a moment, and once most of the food was served, they continued their conversation while eating.
Shinomiya Kaguya also took out her phone at this point to show Eriri many of the photos she had taken over the past few days.
After watching for a while, Eriri noticed that Shinomiya Kaguya intentionally skipped over some photos when showing them.
Glancing at Shinomiya Kaguya, who showed no change in expression, Eriri understood in her heart. It seemed those photos were about Shirogane Miyuki, which was why she didn't show them.
Just then, Fujiwara Chika, who was holding her phone, suddenly burst out laughing, drawing the attention of the other three.
"Fujiwara-san, what is it?"
Covering her mouth with one hand and desperately trying not to laugh out loud, Fujiwara Chika showed her phone to the three and said, "I saw, I saw a piece of information online that said... pfft... that boys actually have a testicle replacement period! And it basically happens once every five years! That's so exaggerated!"
Fujiwara Chika originally wanted to show them a funny piece of information, as she knew very well that it was fake and should just be treated as a joke.
But who would have thought that Shinomiya Kaguya, upon seeing it, would say calmly, "Isn't that just how it is? What's so funny about it?"
...
...
...
The three of them fell silent simultaneously, staring at Shinomiya Kaguya with expressions of disbelief.
Eriri gasped, and a question she had never considered before arose in her heart: Had Shinomiya Kaguya ever learned anything about that area?
She had originally thought that since Shinomiya Kaguya was the daughter of the Shinomiya Family, she would have studied these things to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
But looking at her current expression, which clearly wasn't a joke, there was a high possibility that she knew absolutely nothing!!!
Looking at Shinomiya Kaguya, Eriri asked cautiously, "Senior, where did you read about this testicle replacement period?"
"Where? Online."
Shinomiya Kaguya shook her phone and said matter-of-factly, "I saw many people saying this, and not just in one place. But boys are really amazing, to have something like this happen every five years. I didn't believe it at first, so I specifically asked Ishigami-kun, and he admitted that it was definitely true."
That's Ishigami for you!
Usami looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, who was seriously discussing this bizarre matter, and suddenly felt an inexplicable urge to laugh. She had originally thought this Senior was a super, super, super rich young lady, but unexpectedly, she was quite adorable.
"Ahem..." Eriri hadn't expected the situation to unfold like this, especially since Ishigami Yuu had actually gone along with Shinomiya Kaguya's question and confirmed something that was obviously fake.
Question: What should Eriri do now?
Should she tell Shinomiya Kaguya the truth? Or should she skip the topic?
Eriri found it very difficult to handle.
