Qin Chuan smiled and approached Eriri—Eri's intentions were quite obvious. After all, she was officially designated as a female character who would lose, so one couldn't expect her to come up with any profound hints.
Since that's the case, Qin Chuan will grant her wish and let her experience firsthand what kind of poses a girl would take in actual combat.
......... .. .......
Seeing Qin Chuan approaching, Eriri swallowed hard and suddenly chickened out.
There was nothing she could do; when she was home alone, she naturally imagined all sorts of wild thoughts, but now that the moment had arrived, she suddenly realized a problem.
Qin Chuan's stamina is a bit too strong. Will I be able to handle it?
"How about we talk about it another time? After all, class is about to start."
Eriri gave a dry laugh as she looked at Qin Chuan, shrinking back slightly—though she was mentally terrified, her legs showed no intention of getting up and running away.
"Don't worry, the teachers won't notice our absence in the next few classes."
Qin Chuan laughed maliciously—was he kidding? The opportunity was practically handed to him, and now he was going to back down?
Attending classes was not a problem at all. Qin Chuan simply summoned "Blackbird Requiem" to ensure that "the teachers would not notice anyone's absence for the next few hours."
They also made sure that "no one would approach the art department classroom for several hours" to prevent anyone from disturbing their good time.
Although Eriri didn't know that Qin Chuan had used his Stand ability to solve their next truancy problem, seeing Qin Chuan's expression, Eriri knew that there was no way to avoid it.
It was only then that she suddenly remembered why Sayuri Sawamura had told her "Don't cause a death" when she was home on the weekend.
...So that's what you were referring to!? Wow.
Chapter 280 It's just the master's task.
Just as Qin Chuan had predicted, Eriri quickly succumbed to the intense battle and lost consciousness.
To make matters worse, Eriri did indeed faint halfway through, which made Qin Chuan very upset. So Qin Chuan also tried to give Eriri Hayasaka Ai's Stand ability.
The result was very encouraging; Hayasaka Ai's maid outfit substitute really helped Eriri regain her energy, allowing her to recover and enabling Qin Chuan to fight to the very end.
I wonder what Hayasaka Ai's expression would be if she knew that Qin Chuan was almost using her Stand ability as a female energy booster.
"Ha... No, I really can't continue this time..."
In the messy art club room, Eriri lay on the floor, her whole body covered in sweat, her twin tails drooping limply on the ground.
Qin Chuan had held those golden twin ponytails quite a bit earlier, and Eriri was a little worried that he might accidentally tear them off.
Fortunately, Qin Chuan had very precise control over his own power, and what Eriri was worried about did not happen, and it is unlikely to happen in the most likely way.
However, Eriri was unaware that her ability to regain her strength and energy midway through was entirely due to the Stand ability that Qin Chuan had given her, which had now been removed from her body.
Eriri simply believed that she had persevered because of her willpower to do that kind of thing with Qin Chuan, which made her even more attached to him.
"How do you feel physically?"
Qin Chuan looked at Eriri, who was lying on the ground completely oblivious to whether it was clean or not, and smiled as he reached out and pulled her to sit up.
Hayasaka Ai's maid outfit stand has the ability to restore energy and stamina, and also possesses a certain degree of healing ability—provided that the restored part falls within the scope of "maid work".
Since Eriri can indeed recover her strength with this maid outfit substitute, it means that she acknowledges Qin Chuan as her "master" to some extent.
Come to think of it, Qin Chuan and Eriri's previous relationship couldn't really be called a couple; rather, it was more like a relationship of blackmail and being blackmailed, as depicted in doujinshi.
Although Eriri doesn't outwardly acknowledge this strange relationship, as a doujinshi artist, she must have this perception deep down.
Therefore, the Stand interpreted Eriri's actions as "maid work," and in the end, it restored Eriri's energy and strength and provided her with some treatment.
Otherwise, given Eriri's condition during her first battle, after being whipped by Qin Chuan, she would probably be unable to move by now, and might even have to be sent home to rest.
"How dare you say that? You hit so hard..."
Eriri complained irritably as Qin Chuan led her to her feet—surprisingly, despite it being her first battle, she felt quite well physically.
She had prepared herself for the possibility of having to take leave and be sent home, but surprisingly, apart from feeling a little unwell, she was actually doing alright.
She even feels that going to class is not a problem now. As long as she is careful when walking and does not show too much pain, no one should notice anything unusual.
"Isn't this to let you know how girls really react in battle?"
Qin Chuan then brought up the excuse that Eriri had given at the beginning. He picked up the drafts from the table next to him and said to Eriri with a smile.
"Now you should know which parts of your draft have inconsistent movements, right?"
"Tsk, I know, okay? I know, alright?!"
Eriri blushed again. She could hear the teasing tone in Qin Chuan's voice and knew that he had indeed seen through her little scheme from the very beginning.
Enraged, she grabbed the draft paper from Qin Chuan's hand and stuffed it into her schoolbag.
She can revise this draft at home at her leisure. Anyway, she has achieved her goal for today. She has finally experienced firsthand what it feels like to witness the battle she had previously observed.
I have to say... it's quite strange, Eriri feels like she might become a little addicted.
However, the thought of Qin Chuan having many other girls around him made Eriri feel a little discouraged.
Although things have progressed dramatically with Qin Chuan, I don't seem to have any particularly strong competitive advantage. The girls around Qin Chuan all seem to be of very high quality.
……
Although Qin Chuan used "Blackbird Requiem" to ensure that "the teachers wouldn't notice someone's absence" when he was alone with Eriri...
But clearly, it was only the teachers who didn't notice; the students, on the other hand, were very aware of it.
However, because Qin Chuan and Eriri were both quite popular in the class, even though they noticed it, no student brought it up.
And so, several classes passed by peacefully without incident.
But when Qin Chuan returned to the classroom, he was immediately asked by Kato Megumi where he had been—presumably Eriri also had to deal with her friends' questions.
"I had some business to attend to, so I left for a while."
Qin Chuan was obviously lying through his teeth—although the lie was actually quite believable.
After all, in Kato Megumi's view, Qin Chuan was doing business with the Shinomiya family. Since it was the Shinomiya Group, it was normal for unexpected situations to occur, right?
However, it was clear that Kato Megumi puffed out her cheeks slightly, looking at Qin Chuan with a hint of displeasure, and was not fooled:
"Ah Chuan, do I look like someone who's easy to fool?"
As she spoke, she pointed to Qin Chuan's neck, her tone becoming even more unhappy.
"You still have marks on your neck."
"Oh?"
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously touched his neck—he had almost forgotten that there was indeed a mark on his neck.
When Eriri had just regained her strength, she subconsciously bit Qin Chuan's neck with her little tiger teeth. To prevent Eriri's teeth from breaking, Qin Chuan removed his protective "qi".
However, he forgot about it afterward, but unexpectedly, Kato Megumi noticed it.
"Ahem, it was just a little accident."
When his lie was exposed, Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed. He quickly wiped the mark on his neck with his fingers—the mark disappeared instantly through the nourishment of "qi".
Seeing Qin Chuan's actions, Kato Megumi also sighed deeply, and her initial hesitation turned into determination.
She was the one who arrived first, but so many people overtook her... Kato Megumi made up her mind that she had to take action.
If this continues, won't she end up not even getting a share?
Chapter 281 Detective Fujiwara Chika is on the move.
In the student council of Shuchiin Academy, Kaguya Shinomiya, the student council president, was reviewing documents.
As the daughter of the Shinomiya family, Kaguya Shinomiya was almost destined not to become the heir of the Shinomiya family, but she still tried her best not to disgrace the Shinomiya family.
She considers completing her student council work perfectly to be the best thing she can do right now.
Especially since the chairman of Shuchiin Institute is none other than Shinomiya Hikari, she was even more unwilling to make any mistakes in these matters.
Speaking of which, it seems that Kaguya Shinomiya originally had a competitor for the position of student council president, who was said to be an ordinary person who passed the entrance exam based on his grades.
However, for some reason, the commoner withdrew from the competition, so Kaguya Shinomiya smoothly became the student council president.
There are far too many such examples at Shuchiwon. Many commoners entered Shuchiwon by spending money or taking exams, only to be crushed into nothingness by the class system there.
Shuchiin is not a kind place, and it is not easy for commoners to infiltrate its social class.
"Kaguya! The new board game has arrived! Want to play together!?"
Just as she was processing the documents, the student council door was pushed open, and the student council secretary, Fujiwara Chika, barged in holding a box.
Yes, in Kaguya Shinomiya's view, Chika Fujiwara's behavior cannot be described as "walking in" at all, but rather as "breaking in".
Her startled movements and loud, uninhibited voice made even the usually indifferent Kaguya Shinomiya's veins bulge.
“Secretary Fujiwara, if you continue to disrupt my work like this, I will ask the principal to remove you from the student council.”
It's likely that Fujiwara Chika's behavior had already accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction in Shinomiya Kaguya's heart, so this time Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't hold back and announced Fujiwara Chika's dismissal.
However, Fujiwara Chika wasn't afraid at all. With that confident expression, she held the board game box and approached Shinomiya Kaguya:
"If you always have a long face, you'll eventually go crazy."
"..."
Kaguya Shinomiya's lips twitched. She really wanted to push Chika Fujiwara away, but after hesitating for a while, she finally sighed.
"Go play with your board game club members. Don't bother me. I'm in a bad mood right now and don't have time to mess around with you."
Although Fujiwara Chika may seem eccentric, she comes from a very prominent family—her great-grandfather was a former prime minister, making her a true political dynasty.
It is precisely because of this identity that Fujiwara Chika is able to become Kaguya Shinomiya's friend—and is now one of the few people Kaguya Shinomiya can truly call a friend.
"Hmm? Did something happen?"
When she heard Kaguya Shinomiya say that she was in a bad mood, Chika Fujiwara was also a little surprised. She put down the board game in her hand and looked at Kaguya Shinomiya seriously and asked.
"Just tell me what's wrong, I'm Kaguya's friend!"
Seeing Fujiwara Chika looking so earnestly concerned for her, Shinomiya Kaguya felt both helpless and slightly touched.
She hesitated for a moment, then, remembering that Fujiwara Chika wasn't the type to readily reveal other people's secrets, she spoke up anyway:
"My family has arranged a dinner party in a few days and I am required to attend."
"The banquet that Kaguya was required to attend... Hmm, isn't that the one?"
Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Chika also showed a surprised expression, covered her mouth with both hands, and said in a panic.
Kaguya Shinomiya nodded helplessly—although she didn't participate in the Shinomiya family's affairs, she was still very clear about some of the unspoken rules of large families.
As a young lady with little real power, being forced to attend a banquet... isn't this just setting up a marriage for her?
Although she had prepared herself mentally for this day, Kaguya Shinomiya still felt somewhat lost when it actually arrived.
She might be about to marry someone she's never met, and even the usually aloof Kaguya Shinomiya would inevitably feel bewildered.
"Do you know which family they belong to?"
Fujiwara Chika's eyes sharpened—she considered herself Kaguya's best friend, and seeing Kaguya so confused, she naturally wanted to help!
There aren't many families that the Shinomiya family values and arranges marriages with, so Fujiwara Chika thought the other party should be a relatively well-known person, probably also a student of Shuchiin.
"I don't know the specifics, I only know that his name is Qin Chuan... and he doesn't seem to be a student at Xiuzhi Academy."
Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head. When she learned of the name from Ai Hayasaka, she used her power as student council president to check the school roster.
Then it was confirmed that there was no such person as Shuchiin.
"Aren't you from Shuchiin?"
Fujiwara Chika frowned and thought for a moment, then said with a troubled expression.
"Strange, you can't tell which family they come from just from their name... but since the Shinomiya family is involved in a marriage alliance, they must not be ordinary people, right?"
"...Hayasaka seems to know who the other person is, but because of her family's requirements, she can't tell me the specifics."
Kaguya Shinomiya recalled the expression on Hayasaka Ai's face when she told her about this; she clearly knew who Qin Chuan was.
However, when Kaguya asked, Hayasaka Ai said that the Shinomiya family forbade her to tell anyone, so Kaguya had to leave empty-handed.
"Hayasaka-san?"
Fujiwara 220 Chika stroked her chin, then quickly straightened her expression and made a decision to Shinomiya Kaguya.
