"Then, I will leave first."

  When Shirogane appeared, Nagisa didn't waste her time and quickly left as if she didn't want their versation to be heard by Shirogane. Or rather, she didn't want Shirogao know anything, so it was better to leave.

  "Thank you for listening to me."

  Bowing her head, Nagisa said those words, theed everyone politely, including Shirogane.

  "Kaichou."

  "Ah, yes."

  Still watg Nagisa, who left, Shirogane looked at the three with doubt, especially when Ishigami was held by Chika and Kaguya, so when Nagisa was no lohere, he couldn't help but ask, "Er... what's happening?"

  Or rather, what did you all talk about?

  Somehow, Shiroga like he was bei behind, which made him kind of sad inwardly.

  "...."

  Yet, how could Chika and Kaguya talk about their previous versations?

  It was definitely impossible to tell Shirogane what they talked about before!

  "They asked me about the cookies."

  Still, Ishigami, who could lie as smooth as he breathed, said calmly.

  "Ahh, yes, Yuu baked cookies again!"

  "Yup! They were good!"

  "Cookies? Where are the cookies?"

  "...ah." 2x

  Nagisa, Kaguya, and Chika ate all of them.

  Yup, as they talked, their hands opped and took all the cookies, including ohat was intended for Shirogane.

  "....." Shirogane.

  Ishigami didn't pn to join in this problem, but fortunately, Chika's face was as thick as the Afri bush elephant, so she could smoothly say that it was Shirogane's fault.

  "If you e earlier, then you will get some Kaichou. Unfortunately, you didn't."

  "..." Shirogane.

  Meanwhile, Kaguya was awkward and didn't dare to face Shirogane, especially with the thoughts within her mind. The two of them had gone on a date twice, and there was no doubt they had good patibility and eheir outing very much. If this tihey would be dating, kissing, and might even go further.

  Yet, somehow, she just didn't know.

  heless, while Shirogane was sad, he didn't think too much as he knew how unreasonable a woman was, so it was better not to get hung up about this, especially when it was just cookies.

  'But it is Ishigami's...'

  When Shirogahought about Ishigami's pudding st week, he couldn't help but cover his belly with a sigh.

  "Kaichou, don't tell anyone. I have kept one here."

  "Thanks, Ishigami!"

  Shirogane's eyes were in tears, excited, thinking that Ishigami was as a reliable junior as ever. Still, as he happily ate the cookie, he couldn't help but ask in a whisper, "So... what did you talk about?"

  If it was just a group of women, he might not care, but there was Ishigami, so he couldn't help but feel curious.

  "I don't know."

  "...you don't know?"

  "When I arrived, the three were there, and I just wao share my cookies, but then, they startled to pull me and asked about the recipes."

  "I-I see..." Shirogane sighed in relief, thinking that Ishigami was i.

  'Sorry, Kaichou...'

  Ishigami couldn't tell what kind of versation he had with Nagisa, Chika, and Kaguya to Shirogane, especially when it involved various plicated problems.

  Still, he had to say that, unlike Chika, who was all soft and fortable when she hugged his arm. It was quite painful when Kaguya hugged him as her nails dug deep into his skin, and the powers of her fingers were too ridiculous.

  'More importantly...'

  No, no, more than this, Ishigami was afraid that Kaguya's sharp sense would notice his evil thoughts.

  "But... what do you think they talk about Ishigami?"

  "...."

  Ishigami looked at Shirogane and fot that even though Shirogane was at the top of the food among all the students in this school, sidering Shirogane's status as the student cil, Shirogane was still a high school boy, so it was natural for Shirogao be ied ialk between girls.

  Still—

  "Kaichou, I know that it might be strange of me to say this, but girls are different from boys, and the tents of their versation are quite sensitive, so it might be better for us not to get involved much si is troublesome if we're heard by them."

  Even now, Ishigami could feel Chika and Kaguya's gaze on him, w about whether he could escape from Shirogane, who wao know everything.

  Nagisa had entrusted them with her secret, so even if Shirogane was curious and they felt awkward to keep everything from him, they khat they shouldn't have said anything to Shirogane.

  At the same time, it was normal for oo wish to know everything so they wouldn't be left out, but once again, sometimes, it was better to remain ignorant and remain silent so it wouldn't cause the retionship to turn awkward.

  After all, a man and a woman were different, like how one had a penis and the other didn't have it.

  "Well, that's true..." Shirogane hen said, "It seems that they might talk about a period since my sister is pretty prickly during that time."

  "..." Ishigami, Chika, and Kaguya.

  "...don't say that to Kei- that you told that to me."

  "Why?"

  "You might be killed."

  heless, the student cil eaceful as ever, yet when Ishigami left the room, it wasn't peaceful since he ulled and then kissed.

  "..."

  He looked at Hayasaka, who kissed him before her lips parted as she licked her lips with her long tongue. "It's kind of sweet."

  "I ate cookies."

  "Do you have some with you?"

  "Sorry, all of them were eaten by them, but there are some in my css."

  "Then, I get some ter?"

  "Yeah, I will give you some ter."

  "Thanks."

  "No problem."

  It was strahey thought; their retionship wasn't normal, and it was weird, yet somehow, it was just natural for them to be together.

  "Are you okay?"

  "No, my legs are killing me."

  "Then, go bad rest."

  "...if it's that easy, then I will rest, you know?"

  Maybe because Hayasaka had someohat she could trust, she couldn't help but vent out her grief to stay at Kaguya's side all the time.

  The tragic heroine wasn't only Kaguya, but Hayasaka, who was forced to be involved in a huge problem that could affee of the wealthiest groups in this try and had to sacrifice her childhood to serve and py a certain role that would hurt Kaguya forever.

  Fortunately, her youth was still saved since she had someohat she could talk to now.

  Her pn was to dump him whearted to have feelings for her, but as they were together, she might be the one who had feelings first.

  Still, Hayasaka knew her duty well, so they didn't talk too long, even though she was relut to part away with him.

  Meanwhile, Ishigami didn't mind following Hayasaka's whim, or rather, he had to, especially when she had just lost her virginity, so it was normal for her to be sensitive.

  "I will give you the cookies ter."

  Kissing her smooth forehead, Ishigami hugged her, which stunned her and made her snort, yet snugly rested on his arms as she asked, "Are you starting to fall for me now?"

  "Do you wao?"

  "Hmph! Who will fall for a scumbag like you!"

  "Then, I have to work harder, then."

  Hayasaka snorted but g to him tighter as she rubbed her face against his chest, clearly showing how gy she was. Before, she might have been aced to being alone, yet when a warmth suddenly came to her world, she couldn't help but seek it.

  Then, after a while, they parted away, feelier after hugging.

  Not kissing, but hugging as it gave a strange healing power.

  Still, when Ishigami left, Hayasaka kept staring at his batil Kaguya patted her babsp;

  "What's wrong?"

  "...nothing."

  However, when Ishigami walked to his , someone called him.

  "Ishigami!"

  "Iino?"

  Ishigami looked at Iino, who called his name and approached him. "What's wrong? I don't break the rules, right?" In his mind, he had hought that this petite girl would do something to him.

  "...do you think I will e to you to scold you?"

  "Are you not?"

  "...what do you think I am?" Iino sighed helplessly, then took out a and handkerchief. "Here, your handkerchief. Sorry for only returning it now."

  "Oh? It's fine. You don't have to worry, but thanks for ing it up."

  "No problem."

  It was just—

  "By the way, Ishigami, you look at this?"

  "Hmm?"

  The moment Ishigami saw the s of Iino's smartphone, he was rooted in a pbsp;

  No, Iino didn't use a hypnosis act like the plot of a particur story.

  Instead, she showed him a photo of him going to the Love Hotel with Hayasaka, which made him dumbfounded.

  Yet, Iino didn't wait for him to react since, as she looked at his rea, she showed a sickly smile and said, "You don't want others to knht~?"

  "....." Ishigami.
