"I swear my eternal love to you, Shinomiya!"

  "Kaichou!"

  Those lines were written on the doujinshi that Ishagami discovered, and naturally, the fact that he also discovered the writer also made this situation even more awkward. No matter what, no one could stay sane when their strange fantasy was discovered by a stranger, so he knew how sorry the situation of this girl was.

  'But... isn't this one of the heroines?'

  Not the main heroines, but some of the side heroines, who also happeo be one of the important characters as she had her spin-off story.

  Naturally, Ishigami didn't know that since he hadn't read the story of the Kaguya-sama and had stopped after Shirogane fessed to Kaguya, the two decided to be together.

  heless, those problems aside, he khat he had to tackle the problem before him.

  The girl was well-developed and slim, yet her curves showed healthy growth. Moreover, she was cute, with long, light brown hair styled in the middle part and clear vender eyes.

  If she smiled, she would be even cuter, but unfortunately, she appeared so nervous that she was g.

  Still, if he was an evil guy, there was no doubt he would threaten this girl by saying, "You don't want your secret to be known by everyone, right?

  After saying that, the girl could do nothing as she was slowly corrupted by Ishigami.

  Still, such a plot would in this healthy book, so Ishigami took a deep breath and thely gave the book to the girl after he had read the tent. While the story was kind of predictable, it was quite good, he thought, especially the exaggerated love lines where Shirogane and Kaguya procimed their eternal love.

  "ime, be careful, okay? Don't lose it again."

  "O-Oh..."

  The girl was stuhinking that Ishigami would think of her as a disgusting girl who couldn't keep her fantasy inside her head and even drew something se, yet uedly, his response was gentle and didn't eveion the tent of the book to her even if he had read her story pletely.

  "Then, I will go back first."

  Ishigami thought that it was better to leave first, sidering this girl might feel awkward after he had discovered her secret, but—

  "W-Wait a moment, T-Treasury Ishigami!"

  "Yes?"

  "D-Did you read my story...?" The girl's voice was quiet, and she even lowered her head, but she often took a peek at him with eyes of expectation.

  "...I am sorry, but I did."

  "I-It's fine. I don't mind, but... but... you tell me about your impression of my book?"

  "..."

  It was his first time to see someoh such sincere eyes, so it made him slightly overwhelmed, and he khat he had to answer her.

  "The story is quite good, and I 't wait to see the developmeweewo."

  "R-Really?!" The girl was excited since she didn't expect Ishigami to praise her story.

  "But the art is quite old-fashioned, so many might not appreciate it, and I think you should see the modern story to see how its art is. More importantly, the development is too fast. While I have to admit that it is uo use Kaichou and Shinomiya-senpai, you should make how the love between them happen because it is natural, not suddenly make them fall in love deeply with each other without any story behind them."

  "I see!" The girl nodded, seemingly uanding the missing part of her story. "But... how will the story begiween them?" To be ho, she felt that Shirogane and Kaguya were perfect beings, so naturally, the two of them should matbsp;each other.

  Yet, was such a story really okay?

  The two of them looked at each other, then fell in love directly as their gazes met.

  While this wasn't bad at all, somehow, she wao make the story deeper to make their love more poetid poignant.

  "Hmm... your image of them is too perfect, or rather, no one is perfect, so I think you should add some fws within their lives or characters."

  "B-But Kaguya-sama is a perfect being! She is the ultimate lifeform that should be worshipped!"

  "...what about Kaichou, then?" While Ishigami eechless, she couldn't help but ask.

  "He is a good student cil and someohat I respect, but his face isn't my taste."

  The girl was so blunt that she didn't hide anything.

  "....."

  There were many things that Ishigami wao say, but in the end, he held it.

  "heless, Shirogane-kaichou aside, what kind of a fw be given to a perfect being like Shinomiya-sama?"

  "....."

  Ishigami fell silent for a moment, but when the girl stared at him with such a sincere gaze, it made him sigh helplessly. He wondered what was wrong with him, who suddenly discussed a delusion story of the girl early. It was as if he had bee her editor somehow, which made him wonder whether she would even pay him. Regardless, as she had asked him sincerely and he was also quite curious about how she would grow, he said, "Let's see... since we want to make this story realistic, we should see their background first."

  "Background?"

  "Let's start with Shinomiya-senpai first."

  "Okay!"

  "Shinomiya-senpai es from the Shinomiya family, who is the leader of the Shinomiya Group, one of the richest groups in our try. Naturally, her life is different from ours, and she might be living a life that we 't imagine."

  "You are right." The girl nodded solemnly, agreed with his words, and then asked, "Then, how we give a fw to such a perfect being?"

  "Be patient, okay? This is where the story begins." Ishigami didn't disappoint the girl and tinued with his expnation. "But the life of the wealthy isn't as beautiful as we imagine; probably, many might try to approach her with an iion to use her or just to manipute her."

  "I 'T FIVE SUCH PEOPLE!" The girl suddenly got angry.

  "Calm down. This is just the story."

  "O-Okay!" The girl nodded, but her anger couldn't be hidden. "But if there is such a person, then I will destroy them!"

  "Me too."

  Hearing that ahe girl stared at Ishigami for a moment and asked, "Treasury Ishigami, are you a fan of Shinomiya-sama, too?"

  "I am not, but as my senior, I resped care about her."

  "That's great!" The girl smiled brightly, showing her sweet smile to him.

  Ishigami was helpless and then said, "How about we tih our story first?"

  "Okay, go on!"

  "Due to this situation, she might have an issue trusting people, yet deep in her heart, she longs for a warm and normal retionship. Then, during the moment when she needs someohe most—"

  "Kaichou es and bees that person who makes her trust someone again!"

  "That's right."

  "I see! I see! That's wonderful!" The girl was so excited that she subsciously took her pen and started to make a note in her book. "Ah, I write this so I won't fet?"

  "Go ahead."

  "Thank you!"

  As the girl made a note so she wouldn't fet their talk, she asked again, "Then, what about Kaichou? How we make his retionship with her bee natural?"

  "Hmm... let's see..." Ishigami thought for a moment and said, "If I am n, Kaichou should be transferred to the school in the middle, right? While I don't want to say this, many of us will call Kaichou..."

  "Impure..." The girl frowned and also became angry once again, but this was the reality of this school; those who ehe school only during high school or transferred in the middle would be called "impure" by everyone.

  "Yet, he has never given up, tile, and during that moment, he met Kaguya, and probably fell for her, then tried to attract her attention by w hard aing her on the exam."

  "O-Oh!" The girl was so excited that she raised her hands high. "Th-Then..."

  "Yes, they start to get scious of each other, but with their aersonalities, it will be awkward for them to be together, so they use their awkward methods to attract each other, and in the end, after so many struggles, they—"

  "Finally, the two of them vow their eternal love!"

  "Ah, um, yes."

  While Ishigami wao say that the two would fess and date each other, he decided to follow the girl's whim.

  "I am impressed!" All of a sudden, the girl somehow held Ishigami's hands tightly. "Ishigami-kun, you are so amazing!"

  "No, it's fine. Let me read your story when you finish."

  "I will!"

  "Then, I will go back first."

  "W-Wait a moment!"

  "What's wrong?"

  When Ishigami wao leave, the girl quickly stopped him.

  "C- I have your number? I-I want to discuss the story with you..."

  "You mean... I will be your editor?"

  "Is that okay?" The girl held her smartphone in front of her face as she looked at him with a shy blush.

  "..."

  Why was it like she fessed to him?

  Ishigami took a deep breath and said, "I don't mind, but I have a girlfriend, so if we're too close, she might misuand us, and to solve that misuanding, you might be forced to show your manga to my girlfriend."

  "I-I see... you don't want to make yirlfriend worry, huh?" The girl was dumbfounded, but then she quickly accepted his words. At the same time, she felt a bit jealous of Ishigami's girlfriend sinodera had such a loyal and attentive boyfriend. Yet, her heart also felt sweet since Ishigami cared about her, sidering she knew well that this book couldn't be seen by anyone.

  "...." Ishigami.

  But whehought that the girl would give up—

  "Then, if we do it secretly, it will be fine, right? I won't let yirlfriend know!"

  "...that's a bit weird."

  "Please! I beg you, Ishigami-kun! or-kun!"

  "...okay."

  "Yay!"

  The two then quickly exged their LINE, but Ishigami fot to ask ohing. "By the way, what's your name?"

  "Karen Kino." Karen smiled at Ishigami and said, "That's my name. Oh, I am also in the sed grade and a member of the Mass Media Club."

  "I should call you "Senpai" then."

  "It's fine. You call me Karen if you wish to."

  "Then, Karen-senpai?"

  "...it's a bit weird when a boy calls me by my first name, but it is okay~!" Karen blushed si was the first time a boy had called her by her first name.

  "You call me Yuu, then."

  Karen looked at Ishigami shyly, then called his name softly, "Y-Yuu-kun..."

  "Yeah."

  "...."

  Somehow, why did the atmosphere bee pink and sweet?!

  Wasn't their previous discussion weird?

  Why did it feel like they were a lover or two people who fell in love with each other?

  Still, Ishigami felt that he o leave. "Then, see you, Senpai."

  "Yeah, see you ter, Yuu-kun!"

  The css was about to start, so they had to go babsp;

  However, Karen couldn't help but stop and stare at Ishigami's back shyly as she called his name softly, "Yuu-kun..."

  Still, while Karen's mood was good, Ishigami was far from good since he entered another problem.

  "Aren't you good at sedug girls, Yuu-kun~?"

  "........"
