Kaguya-sama: Love Is War wants me to turn myself in.

"I've been training hard lately, and all my muscles are stiff. I really need a back scrub to relax."

fraud!

Back rubbing doesn't really have a relaxing effect at all!

Fujiwara Chika wanted to refuse, but then she remembered how hard Amamiya Natsuki had worked to help her, and she hesitated.

After hesitating for a moment, Fujiwara Chika blushed and whispered:

"Alright then, just a back rub, nothing else."

Amamiya Natsuki raised her right hand and said:

"I promise."

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya followed Chika into the bathroom and began to take a bath.

In fact, this wasn't the first time the two had helped each other scrub backs, but since they weren't an old married couple, they still felt shy.

Amamiya Natsuki is alright; she has a thick skin and can handle things calmly. But Chika is, after all, a girl, and under the influence of a young girl's sense of shame, she inevitably can't let go.

"Y-that's enough..." Fujiwara Chika's pretty face was flushed red, and she covered her chest with her hands, whispering, "It's already been cleaned up, President, hurry back."

"I'll take a bath for a while," Natsuki Amamiya said seriously. "A bath without a bath isn't a complete bath."

Fujiwara Chika puffed out her cheeks and said:

"Then I'll go out first. President, you can take a bath by yourself."

“It’s been a long time since we last took a bath together.” Natsuki Amamiya reached out and pulled Chika’s hand. “I want to take a bath with Chika-sama.”

Fujiwara Chika turned her pretty face away and said:

"I do not want it."

"..."

Although Chika said no, her body showed no sign of refusal, and she was pulled over by Amamiya Natsuki to take a bath together.

However, the two of them were just sitting facing each other, but fortunately the bathtub was large and not crowded.

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly became serious and said:

There's something in the bathtub.

"Huh?" Fujiwara Chika blinked. "What is that?"

“I don’t know…” Amamiya Natsuki reached out and groped around, quickly picking up a pebble the size of a coin, and said speechlessly, “Why would there be a pebble in the bathtub?”

“I remember now, it was Moeha.” Fujiwara Chika slapped her forehead. “When we were diving this afternoon, Moeha saw a lot of really pretty pebbles and picked them up. When we were taking a bath, she took them out of her pocket to wash them, but then she got a high fever and passed out, so we forgot about them.”

As she spoke, Fujiwara Chika began to rummage through the bathtub, quickly finding one pebble after another.

These pebbles vary in size, but are brightly colored and quite beautiful.

"There should be more..."

Fujiwara Chika explored forward with great interest, feeling quite like she was on a treasure hunt, and unknowingly approached Amamiya Natsuki.

Before she could react, Amamiya Natsuki had already pulled her into his arms.

"Chika-san, may I kiss you?"

Amamiya Natsuki hugged Chika and whispered in her ear.

Fujiwara Chika blushed and shook her head, saying:

"No."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Then how can we kiss? By barking like Pace?"

Fujiwara Chika's lips curled slightly upwards, but she quickly tensed her pretty face and raised her chin, saying:

"Woof woof woof, but I won't give you a kiss... Mmm!"

Amamiya Natsuki lowered his head and quickly sealed Chika's soft, sweet lips with his.

"The president has gone too far!"

Fujiwara Chika reached out and pinched Natsuki's waist, then shyly closed her eyes. At first, she was just passively being bullied, but after a while, she couldn't help but stretch out her arms and hug Natsuki Amamiya's neck, and began to respond.

After a while.

Amamiya Natsuki was surprised to find that Chika did not refuse. In the past, she would only kiss and hug him, and would not let him cross the line. Today, she actually chose to play the ostrich.

Upon discovering this, Natsuki Amamiya became immediately excited.

As it approached the final moment, Fujiwara Chika began to show fear and nervously said:

"President, wait a minute... Moeha is still outside..."

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"The cold medicine contains sedative ingredients, so there's no need to worry about waking Mengye up."

Fujiwara Chika's breathing quickened, her pretty face flushed, and her eyes misty as she whispered:

"But you have an extreme challenge tomorrow... maybe next time..."

Don't be ridiculous, a "next time" without even a specific date really means there will never be a next time!

The arrow has to be fired when it is on the string.

"Don't even mention that tomorrow is just an extreme challenge, even if tomorrow were the end of the world, it wouldn't stop." Amamiya Natsuki took a deep breath. "And it's only a matter of minutes, it'll be over soon."

"fraud……!"

Fujiwara Chika recalled the situation she encountered two days ago when she possessed Sayu, and bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth. It wasn't even a matter of minutes!

Amamiya Natsuki countered with:

"I'm talking about surfing, what did you think it was?"

"Ugh...mmm—!"

Before she could finish speaking, Fujiwara Chika let out a low, bitter groan.

all in all.

Silent all night.

the next day.

"Good morning, sister!"

Fujiwara Moeha sat up, clenched her fists, stretched, and her voice regained its usual energetic tone.

"morning……"

Fujiwara Chika responded groggily, yawning as she prepared to get out of bed, but her legs gave way and she almost lost her balance. She finally managed to hold onto the wall to keep herself upright.

"Hey, sister, what's wrong?"

Fujiwara Moeha hurriedly asked with concern.

"N-nothing..." Fujiwara Chika blushed, turned to look out the window, and stammered, "My legs went numb, so I couldn't stand up straight."

Fujiwara Moeha, unsuspecting, began chattering away as she changed her clothes, her voice clear and melodious, like the song of a nightingale:

"I felt really unwell last night, I think I might be sick?"

Fujiwara Chika bit her lip and stood up straight, then retorted:

"Remove 'seems like,' he fainted while taking a bath last night. He must have eaten too many cold drinks yesterday to have a fever."

"I was wrong, sister." Fujiwara Moeha admitted with a grin. "Speaking of which, I think I heard my senior's voice last night. Did you ask him to come and help?"

Fujiwara Chika's pretty face flushed even more, and she tried her best to speak in a nonchalant tone:

"No, that's right. The chairman did come over... He left after your fever went down."

This is a lie.

The truth is that Natsuki Amamiya only agreed to leave this morning.

"It must be very late by now?" Fujiwara Moeha clenched her fists. "We really need to thank our senior properly."

Fujiwara Chika: “…”

There's no need to thank someone for taking advantage of another's misfortune!

Fujiwara Chika regretted it.

It was such an important matter, and it happened in the bathroom, with my sister right outside the door. It was just too embarrassing!

If it happened again, I would definitely refuse decisively and not let the president succeed!

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

"Hey, sister, something's wrong with you." Fujiwara Moeha finally noticed something odd about Chika and tilted her head in confusion. "Why does your voice sound a little hoarse?"

"Cough cough..." Fujiwara Chika quickly raised her hand, covered her mouth and coughed twice, stammering, "I think I've caught a bit of a cold too... Let's go to the restaurant for dinner."

This is a lie.

The truth is that it wasn't a cold; the hoarseness had another cause.

"..."

Come to the restaurant.

"Senior, good morning!"

Upon seeing Natsuki Amamiya in the restaurant, Moeha Fujiwara exclaimed happily.

"Good morning." Amamiya Natsuki responded with a smile, then looked at Chika, the secretary next to Moeha, and said calmly, "Chika, good morning."

"……Good morning."

Fujiwara Chika responded nonchalantly.

She thought she could remain calm and not reveal anything, but when her eyes met Amamiya Natsuki's, a blush involuntarily rose on her pretty face.

"Come and eat." Natsuki Amamiya pulled out a chair. "Eat more in the morning to replenish your energy."
