"Nakano Yu, that person outside earlier…"
Back in the classroom, as soon as Nakano Yu sat down, Kiyoura Setsuna leaned toward him and asked curiously, her heart full of restlessness.
"Hm, someone I know, but not really a friend."
Nakano Yu nodded. His relationship with Shinomiya Kaguya wasn't particularly good. In fact, he had talked with her less than with her brother, Un'yo.
However, Un'yo wasn't a good person either. Although he appeared mysterious in front of him, his bad personality could be described as being on the same level as the Ice Queen Shinomiya Kaguya.
"So Nakano Yu actually knows President Shinomiya. That's really incredible."
Hearing this, Kiyoura Setsuna subtly straightened her posture, and the unease in her heart settled down.
"There's nothing incredible about it. Don't you want to join the Student Council, Kiyoura Setsuna? I can recommend you."
Nakano Yu waved his hand as he spoke and suddenly mentioned Kiyoura Setsuna's desire to enter the Student Council. Her abilities weren't bad; on the contrary, they were stronger than most people her age.
And right now, the Student Council of Shuchiin Academy was seriously lacking members. Otherwise, Shinomiya Kaguya wouldn't have lowered her stance to invite him to join the Council. After all, she was someone for whom even acknowledgments were a passive skill; she was also a tsundere.
Although Nakano Yu wasn't interested in joining the Student Council of Shuchiin Academy, he could recommend Kiyoura Setsuna. He had a good impression of that girl—after all, he had eaten her bento, twice.
Even though Kiyoura Setsuna didn't say anything, Nakano Yu still felt that he should return the favor.
"This… is that really possible?"
Seeing that Nakano Yu could help her with a recommendation, Kiyoura Setsuna's eyes lit up. She wanted to join the Student Council, but the prerequisite was to become a second-year student, so Kiyoura Setsuna had been waiting, waiting to join as soon as she advanced to the second year.
Even then, selection wasn't guaranteed, but Kiyoura Setsuna still held hope.
If Nakano Yu recommended her now, maybe she wouldn't even need to become a second-year student to join, like Fujiwara Chika's secretary, through an exception.
Faced with such an opportunity, how could Kiyoura Setsuna not be tempted?
But… if she burdened Nakano Yu again, the debt she owed him would only grow.
"Then it's decided."
Noticing the girl's hesitation and temptation, Nakano Yu simply made the decision for her, because with her way of thinking, she would definitely refuse.
"Ah?! Then… th-thank you, Nakano Yu…"
Kiyoura Setsuna, still hesitant, was clearly stunned for a moment when she heard Nakano Yu's words. But seeing his smile, the words she wanted to use to refuse got stuck in her throat.
"I'm only recommending you. Whether you enter the Student Council still depends on Kiyoura Setsuna's own abilities, so, good luck."
For Nakano Yu, it was just a casual mention, nothing particularly demanding. The decisive factor was Kiyoura Setsuna herself.
"I understand!"
Kiyoura Setsuna nodded vigorously, with a serious expression on her face.
She definitely wouldn't disappoint Nakano Yu's expectations!
Definitely!
Time passed quickly; ever since Nakano Yu became the Godslayer, it felt as though time always passed in a flash.
Nothing significant happened during the day; Japanese students didn't have many classes anyway, and Kirisu Mafuyu's class wasn't even scheduled today, except for one period because the PE teacher was sick.
As class drew to a close, Kirisu Mafuyu mentioned the weekly test, and her gaze occasionally drifted toward Nakano Yu.
Nakano Yu naturally knew that this was Kirisu Mafuyu reminding him.
However, looking at her confident expression, Nakano Yu found it somewhat amusing.
He wondered why Kirisu Mafuyu was so confident in Shinomiya Kaguya's grades, even though she was a girl who hadn't even mastered biology yet.
Speaking of which, when the results came out, what should he ask Kirisu Mafuyu for?
Maybe go to Kirisu Mafuyu's house, put on a maid outfit, and make Kirisu Mafuyu clean?
That actually didn't sound bad.
After school that day, Kiyoura Setsuna still asked Nakano Yu for help with questions, and after he answered them, Kiyoura Setsuna said she needed to go home to sort it out in her head, then bade Nakano Yu farewell and left.
Nakano Yu didn't rush home; instead, he left the classroom and went to the board game club room.
These past few days, Ichika had constantly been taken away by Fujiwara Chika, and Nakano Yu was really worried that Ichika would go down the wrong path. After all, his Ichika was supposed to become a teacher in the future! She couldn't learn from that "Cancer of Earth."
However… it seemed that Fujiwara Chika's grades were even better than Ichika's? And by quite a bit. The last time Nakano Yu looked at the rankings, he noticed that she was seventeenth, already ahead of many students at Shuchiin Academy.
Tsk, seriously, Fujiwara Chika studies so well, yet instead of taking his Ichika to study, she plays board games—damn it!
Of course, Nakano Yu was just joking in his mind. Under his guidance, Ichika's grades weren't bad, at least better than before when she didn't like studying, and with a little more effort, her dream of becoming a teacher wasn't far off.
Arriving at the door, Nakano Yu opened it directly.
But the moment the young man opened the door, he saw Fujiwara Chika and Ichika changing clothes inside the club room.
At that moment, Ichika was wearing a cat-ear headband and was carefully trying to button her shirt, but it seemed she had gained a bit of weight recently, so her cheeks turned red as she couldn't button it.
Fujiwara Chika, on the other hand, was sitting nearby and putting on her skirt. The skirt had just reached her calves when Nakano Yu opened the door and walked in.
"…You two continue."
After sweeping his gaze over the room, Nakano Yu said quietly, then took a step back and closed the door.
Inside, Fujiwara Chika's cheeks flushed as she watched Nakano Yu leave, her mouth open as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
Ichika wasn't much different; she also blushed, but she was in slightly better condition than Fujiwara Chika. She forced the button closed and quickly put on her school uniform.
Seeing this, Fujiwara Chika composed herself, got dressed, and then walked to the club room door to open the door that Nakano Yu had closed.
And at that moment, Nakano Yu was standing beside the door, leaning against the wall, lost in thought.
He didn't know why, but he felt that the scene just now seemed a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before…
By the way, Ichika's milk tea cup was actually pink. He had previously thought it was Miku's when he was doing the laundry.
"Yu, Yu! You, why did you come in without knocking!"
Just as the young man was thinking, Ichika's voice reached his ears.
Hearing the voice, and knowing that Ichika and Fujiwara Chika had finished changing, Nakano Yu entered without hesitation.
Not knocking was indeed his fault. The main reason was that Nakano Yu really didn't expect them to be changing clothes at school, and wearing cat-girl equipment at that. Could this be… Fujiwara Chika, that "Cancer of Earth," dragging Ichika into cosplay?!
"I'm sorry, I really didn't expect your board game club to also do cosplay."
Nakano Yu apologized sincerely.
"Hm? It's not cosplay. These are clothes made by the school literature and arts club. These are prototypes, so they asked two girls of average build like us to try them on."
Fujiwara Chika had already returned to her usual carefree demeanor, holding rolled-up newspapers in her hand, explaining as she pulled Nakano Yu to sit down in the club room.
"Average build?"
After hearing Fujiwara Chika's explanation, Nakano Yu was confused.
Now he was curious what kind of genius would consider Fujiwara Chika's and Ichika's builds average.
Although Shuchiin Academy's school uniforms really didn't emphasize figures, not emphasizing a figure was one thing, but that didn't mean people were blind!
Those lofty peaks, how many girls spend their entire lives trying to reach them?!
If Shinomiya Kaguya heard this, she would probably collapse quietly again. And yes, Hayasaka Ai too.
After all, a mountain with filling—Nakano Yu didn't believe Hayasaka Ai wouldn't care about such things.
"Yes! Kaguya often says that to me."
Fujiwara Chika said, folding the newspaper in her hand layer by layer.
"What does she say?"
Hearing that, Nakano Yu became curious. He had never seen Shinomiya Kaguya break down before; it would probably be quite amusing.
"Kaguya says: 'Damn it, why me… Damn it, Fujiwara Chika must have stolen them from me!' Stuff like that. It seemed like her inner thoughts, but Kaguya-chan said them out loud, like that."
Fujiwara Chika said, and the newspaper in her hand was already folded. A joyful smile immediately appeared on the girl's face.
"Yu, drink some tea."
Meanwhile, Ichika finished preparing black tea and handed the young man a cup of steaming black tea.
"Hmph~ That's just the unwillingness of a flat-chested girl."
Nodding to Ichika in thanks, Nakano Yu said this, raised the black tea, and took a sip.
"Damn it! Stinky Yu! You really saw it, go to hell!!!"
At that moment, Fujiwara Chika, who was standing behind Nakano Yu, suddenly showed an enraged expression, snarled, and immediately swung the rolled-up newspaper toward Nakano Yu's head.
But who was Nakano Yu? The only Godslayer in this world, how could he be hit by Fujiwara Chika's wild attacks?
Holding the teacup, Nakano Yu swayed left and right, not even needing to look at Fujiwara Chika behind him, perfectly and skillfully avoiding her attacks. While dodging, Nakano Yu didn't forget to tease her:
"Fujiwara Chika, you need to be faster. Even if you're faster, you still won't hit me, but you'll get angrier."
"Ah!! Damn it! My hand speed, honed over a year, go to hell!"
Hearing Nakano Yu's mockery, Fujiwara Chika gritted her teeth and sped up her movements, but still couldn't hit him.
Seeing this, Ichika, who was sitting across from the young man, got worried something might happen and quickly tried to stop them:
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around."
"Smack!"
As soon as Ichika's words fell, Fujiwara Chika's newspaper sword finally hit Nakano Yu's head, producing a clear sound.
"Oh yeah! Finally, finally I hit him!"
After hitting Nakano Yu, Fujiwara Chika laughed, casually tossed the newspaper sword into the trash can, and then quickly sat down beside Nakano Yu.
"Do you feel better now?"
Looking at Fujiwara Chika beside him, Nakano Yu smiled slightly and asked.
"No."
Unexpectedly, Fujiwara Chika just glanced at Nakano Yu and flatly denied it.
Hearing that, Nakano Yu was helpless. When he first met Fujiwara Chika, this girl hadn't been so petty, at least… not like now.
But speaking of which, it had been almost ten years since he met Fujiwara Chika.
Back then, Fujiwara Chika somewhat resembled a princess from a political family; not only could she play the piano, but her words and behavior were also particularly elegant.
At first, he didn't recognize that serious and polite little girl as Fujiwara Chika, until her uncle brought the young Fujiwara Chika to talk with him.
Only then did Nakano Yu connect that quiet little girl with the Cancer of Earth.
However, he had only heard her play the piano once; after that, she never played again. Maybe she no longer liked the piano, which was a good thing.
After all, cram schools are evil everywhere!
But…
Looking at the "Cancer of Earth" beside him, Nakano Yu clicked his tongue. Back then, little Fujiwara Chika had still been obedient and called him "big brother."
