Chapter 390: Shinomiya Kaguya's Feeding Play
Among all the girls present, except for Usami and Takanashi Rikka, the others all had long hair. And among them, only Dekomori Sanae and Eriri wore twin tails.
Moreover, both of their twin tails were very long. If Eriri wrapped something around the ends of her twin tails like Dekomori Sanae, she could increase the "attack power" of her twin tails, just like Dekomori Sanae.
Of course, there was no need for that.
Although twin tails were one of Eriri's trademarks, she no longer obsessed over these attributes. Even during the five school days of the week, she occasionally switched to other hairstyles, such as a single ponytail or simply letting her long hair down.
Dekomori Sanae looked at Eriri's twin tails, then at her own, and said smugly, "Hmph, twin tails with no attack power whatsoever!"
To this, Eriri said faintly, "I don't care about attack power, but at least I don't get tangled up by my own twin tails."
"Ugh..."
Recalling the several times she had tried to perform her twin tail technique, only for the rotation speed to be too fast, causing the tails to wrap around her body and even make her fall, Dekomori Sanae couldn't help but blush and fall silent.
After teasing Dekomori Sanae, Eriri opened her mouth to eat a piece of sushi handed to her by Kaede. She chewed with narrowed eyes, and just as she was about to continue drawing, she saw several familiar figures approaching.
Quickly swallowing the food in her mouth, Eriri tugged on Kaede's arm and said, "Kaede-kun, Kaede-kun! Over there!"
"Huh?"
Following the direction Eriri was pointing, Kaede also showed a surprised expression: "They came too."
Everyone noticed Kaede and Eriri's reaction. Looking in that direction, those who recognized the newcomers showed expressions of surprise.
Five people were approaching: the five members of the Shuchiin Student Council—Shirogane Miyuki, Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, Ishigami Yuu, and Iino Miko.
The five members of the Shuchiin Student Council, who had been chatting and paying attention to their surroundings, now also saw many familiar faces ahead.
Shinomiya Kaguya said in surprise, "Oh my, it looks like things are really going to get lively today."
Shirogane Miyuki also nodded: "I didn't expect to run into them. Ishigami, we didn't tell Asakura we were coming, did we?"
"No, we didn't."
Nodding, Ishigami Yuu said, "But Asakura mentioned that their club went cherry blossom viewing together last year, so there was a high possibility they would come again this year. There are only a few good spots for cherry blossom viewing in Tokyo, so there was a chance we'd run into them."
As he approached, Shirogane Miyuki, the Student Council President, smiled and said, "Hello everyone. What a coincidence to be viewing cherry blossoms together today! And our spot is right next to yours."
Saying this, Shirogane Miyuki pointed to the other side of the cherry tree, which was still empty, indicating it was their designated spot.
Fujiwara Chika smiled and greeted everyone, then leaned close to Eriri and said, "Eriri-chan, you have so many people here! Huh? Is this child your relative?"
The person Fujiwara Chika was referring to was Colette, who was sitting next to Eriri.
Eriri smiled and shook her head: "That's not it. Colette just happens to be blonde like me. Also, there's another blonde with twin tails over there who is also my junior."
Only then did Fujiwara Chika notice Dekomori Sanae. She paused, then said in surprise, "Oh~~~ Blonde hair! Is this a gathering spot for beautiful girls? Why are there so many cute girls here?"
But quickly, Fujiwara Chika's attention was drawn to the dazzling array of food laid out before her.
Swallowing, Fujiwara Chika looked at Shirogane Miyuki and said, "President! Let's sit with Eriri and the others today!"
"..."
Shirogane Miyuki said sheepishly, "Don't think I don't know what you're planning. Shinomiya and I brought plenty of food too. Isn't that enough for you?"
"That's not true!" Fujiwara Chika exclaimed loudly, her face slightly flushed. "It's so lively here, of course it's better to hang out here! Besides, we're only separated by one tree, so it makes no difference!"
Kaede and Eriri naturally had no problem with this. After asking everyone else's opinion and finding no objections, Asakura said, "It's fine, Senpai. We already have so many people. You should all join us. It's more fun when there are more people, isn't it?"
Finally, the five members of the Student Council ended up sitting with them, and the number of people at the gathering expanded once more.
After sitting down, Colette was taken away by the very curious Fujiwara Chika to chat nearby, while Shirogane Miyuki came and sat next to Kaede.
Pouring him a glass of juice, Kaede smiled and asked, "Senpai, why did you decide to come out cherry blossom viewing today? I never heard you mention this plan."
"Thank you." Taking a sip of juice, Shirogane Miyuki explained, "This activity was a spur-of-the-moment decision for us. While we were busy at the Student Council earlier, the topic of the cherry blossoms blooming came up, so I suggested that the Student Council members should come out together to view the blossoms this weekend. It's a way to relax, so here we are. You guys, though, really have a large group."
After Kaede's introduction, Shirogane Miyuki also met the newly joined first-year juniors and noticed that two of them had Chuunibyou.
Shirogane Miyuki didn't mind this. Having experienced family changes since childhood, he could tell from their brief interaction that Takanashi Rikka was also someone with a history.
Shirogane Miyuki had researched Chuunibyou in his spare time; some people with Chuunibyou harbor the desire to escape certain realities.
Glancing at Kaede beside him, Shirogane Miyuki felt he didn't need to worry about this matter. Given his junior's observational skills, he could probably figure it out and resolve it properly.
"President, try this sushi, please. I prepared it especially for you."
Just as he was thinking, Shinomiya Kaguya, on the other side, handed over a sea urchin sushi, bringing it right up to Shirogane Miyuki's mouth. "Here, President, ah~~~~"
Instantly, everyone's eyes focused on them.
"Uh... well, Shinomiya, everyone is watching."
If it were in private, Shirogane Miyuki might have reluctantly accepted it, but with so many people present, his tolerance level hadn't reached that point yet.
However, Shinomiya Kaguya kept her hand extended, watching Shirogane Miyuki with a beaming smile.
Although she said nothing else, the pressure on Shirogane Miyuki doubled, and he finally had no choice but to blush and open his mouth to eat the sushi.
"Mmm... it's delicious..."
A brilliant smile immediately appeared on Shinomiya Kaguya's face: "That's wonderful then."
Chewing the sushi, Shirogane Miyuki looked at everyone and complained, "Stop staring at me! Asakura and Sawamura have done things like this countless times already, haven't you!"
