"Nikko..."

  "What?"

  "No, it's just that I never expected to be on a trip with you to this city."

  "Yeah, me too. I 't imagihat we will be like this before."

  Somehow, after spending his time enjoying every moment with Kobachi, Ishigami felt like he had calmed down and fotten what had happened before. While he had to admit that Kobachi might be a little crazy, especially when he recalled the beginning of their retionship at how she would attack him and kiss him forcefully, when she was calm down, and there were only the two of them, he felt that it was f with her.

  Kobachi also ehis feeling when she was the only one by his side, and her smile had opped.

  Sittio each other, the two tried all the bentos that they had bought previously at the station. The amount might be a little bit too much, but Ishigami's appetite was high, especially due to his high physical ability aabolism. Moreover, he was young, so he ate a lot.

  Meanwhile, while Kobachi's appetite might not be high, she was young, and if she couldn't finish her food, she could have him finish it. Frankly, she was quite excited to taste his food, too.

  "By the way, the hamburger steak tastes ry it, Yuu."

  Kobachi held her chopsticks as she tried to feed Ishigami, to which he opened his mouth and accepted her feeding without much embarrassment.

  "It's quite good."

  "Right?"

  Yet, for Kobachi, her heart was filled with a light feeling, hoping the time would tinue forever.

  This trip by train from Tokyo to Nikko would take at least two hours to arrive, yet even so, the two of them hought to sleep, as staying by the ohey loved made them all excited.

  At the same time, Ishigami also took a picture of them, both when Kobachi ate the food and all the parts of the train, but when he looked at one of his photos, he was dumbfounded.

  "What's wrong? Is the photo not good?"

  "No, it's good."

  Ishigami tried to mask his nervousness by saying, "I will go to the toilet for a bit."

  "Okay." Kobaodded. "By the way, I finish your sushi?" Instead of her sandwich, the taste of her boyfriend's sushi was more delicious, and she wao eat more. More importantly, the calories of the sushi were less than those of the sandwich that she had bought.

  Her weight might be perfect, but as a girl, it was still necessary for her to take care of her calorie intake.

  "Sure, eat them."

  Still, Ishigami didn't pay much attention to his sushi. Instead, he walked toward the toilet with an oblivious expression, as if he didn't notiything. Yet he wasn't someone who loved to remain passive, so he g her for a moment before looking away.

  Naturally, the person who had been following him noticed his gaze, staring at her for a moment, which caused her to hesitate before she stood up.

  "....."

  Yet, Ishigami, who pretended not to notiything, noticed the one who followed him had taken the initiative to follow him!

  'Dammit!'

  He was so nervous at that moment and wondered whether he would be silenced. He might have prepared himself, but he had to say, he was so nervous!

  This try might ban firearms, but it didn't mean that this try could be truly freed from it, especially when a certain prime minister in this try was shot by a gun.

  Moreover, sidering the one who had followed him, anything ossible.

  Still, even if this person didn't bring a firearm, bringing a taser or other things might be possible, which made him helpless, w why his life was so dangerous.

  His life in this world should be a gentle one, filled with love, or just a b one, an unging daily, yet why were there so many dangerous elements before him?

  Yet, once again, he couldn't pin since everything happened due to his greed. It was because he wao get rewards from the system that he brought all the dao himself.

  Instead of pining, he should think about how to solve his situation since he didn't want to go on a trip while being followed, especially whehought about what would happen with Kobachi tonight.

  Still, he wasn't sure whether he was fortunate or unfortunate, but he didn't o wait.

  The moment he was about to ehe toilet, his back ushed from behind, and the door was closed forcefully.

  "Huh?!"

  He didn't expect that the person who followed him would be so aggressive.

  "Don't move. Don't shout. Don't say anything until I say so."

  Her voice was ft and cked emotio taihe power to foryoo follow her words.

  Yet, Ishigami still talked and turned his body as he looked at the figure who had forced him to ehe toilet forcefully. "Hayasaka-senpai? What are you doing?"

  "...."

  Hayasaka fell into silend felt a bit embarrassed since Ishigami didn't follow the script.

  Shouldn't he be so scared at this moment?

  Uhers, who were naive, she was sure that Ishigami khe power of the Shinomiya family, so in case he might anger her, then... it was clear what would happen to him, right?

  Yet, somehow, he faced her calmly and even turoward her, fag her directly as if he had been waiting for her.

  "...did you notice me?"

  "I did."

  "...I still o train, huh?"

  Still, when Hayasaka thought of her schedule as a maid, she felt too zy to train as a professional spy and bodyguard.

  'Spy...'

  Her expression filled with an intense guilt before she shook her head inwardly, then looked at Ishigami bnkly. "Then, you should uand why I have followed yht?"

  "To be ho, I am not. I don't uand why you follow me."

  "Because you cheated on yirlfriend, bastard!"

  Yes, this guy cheated on his girlfriend, the girlfriend that made him part away from Kaguya.

  Yet, instead of treasuring that girlfriend, Ishigami went out on a trip to Niko with anirl.

  When Hayasaka thought about Kaguya's expression when she khat Ishigami had a girlfriend, she felt her heart was tor uedly, this guy would cheat on that girlfriend!

  Dammit, what was the point of that emotional struggle then?!

  What was the point of her mistress being sad?!

  Was he even worthy of her heart?!

  At this moment, her eyes were filled with rage, and if her eyes could kill, then they would be her current eyes.

  "Have you been pying with Kaguya-sama?"

  When Hasayaka thought about how Ishigami would approach Kaguya to help him erase his stigma and the close to each other, he had made her smitten with him, and she wondered whether all of that was just a ploy for him to use Kaguya.

  Whehought about that possibility, she felt even aoward him and wao beat him up, but she calmed down since she wao hear his answer, and depending on his ahen she would—

  "You overestimate me. Do you think Shinomiya-senpai is such a gullible girl? She isn't someone who will be naively pyed by others?"

  "...then, why? Why 't you answer her feelings? You should see everything, right? You should know her feelings, right? Why do you have to be pying around like this instead of answering her feelings seriously? You... you... why do you like this?"

  Disappoi.

  This was the feeling Hayasaka felt toward Ishigami; no, instead, it was something far deeper, as if she was trying to search for an answer from him, who was also a traitor.

  "Sorry, I 't." Ishigami didn't really want to tell everything, but when he saw Hayasaka's expression, he khat he had to talk. "It be anyone, but I 't be with her."

  "...is it because of Shirogane?"

  Ishigami didn't say anything and only showed a soft expression.

  'Shirogane...'

  If it was someone else, Ishigami might do something, but Hayasaka khat if it was Shirogahen Ishigami would give up since she was clear about Ishigami's past, and she also uood why he would do nothing.

  But—

  "It isn't clear that he likes Kaguya-sama, right?"

  "Are you sure?"

  "That's..." Hayasaka lost her words, struggled for a moment, and then said, "But I think that you should break up with all of them. It isn't te, and I won't say anything to Kaguya-sama. If you seriously love her, then... I will fet everything here."

  Yes, as long as Ishigami could cut off all of his retionships, then Hayasaka wouldn't mind hiding everything, so Kaguya's happiness would be guaranteed.

  "I 't."

  "Why?!"

  "I am already like this..." Ishigami looked at Hayasaka helplessly and asked, "Do you think I am worthy of her now?"

  Like a woman who believed that she was already broken as she had been with many men, so when she found the one who could treat her sincerely, kindly, with all of his heart instead of being happy, she felt inferior and thought that she wasn't worthy of the love of such a man.

  Instead of her, there was someoer.

  Ishigami also thought so, and he didn't think that the current him was suitable fuya.

  More importantly, as he had said all the time, it could be anyone, but it couldn't be Kaguya.

  Ishigami took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "You tell everything to Shinomiya-senpai. No, tell her everything, that way, she won't be disillusioned by me." He had had enough of everything, and he might as well go all out since he khat nothing could ge. He had made up his mind to be with everyone and take care of them.

  If some girls couldn't accept it, then they might as well leave him now instead of being hurt by him.

  Ishigami might feel relut for them to leave, and he would try his best to keep them, but if it was really impossible, then he wouldn't force it.

  Naturally, he didn't think Kaguya could accept how he was now, and she would force him to break up with all of his women, but he couldn't, and he really couldn't betray Shirogane.

  "I will go back first."

  Hayasaka didn't stop Ishigami; she just stood ooilet alone and fell into deep thoughts.

  Meanwhile, Ishigami returo his seat and looked at Kobachi, who was eating sushi like a squirrel, which made him smile.

  "What's wrong?" Kobachi asked with fusion.

  "Is it delicious?"

  "Um."

  "The more."

  "...do you wao get fat."

  "I help you with a diet."

  "You mean that pervy workout you do with yirlfriend?"

  "..."

  As expected, talking with Kobachi made him fet all the things that bothered him.
