Kaguya Shinomiya lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her fair cheeks. She picked up her teacup, feeling the perfect warmth on her fingertips.

My father's recovery from his serious illness is undoubtedly wonderful news.

As her daughter, she was genuinely happy.

But why didn't Mom come last night...?

"Really? That's wonderful." Kaguya Shinomiya's tone was calm and even. "All of this is thanks to Zoffy."

"That's right!"

Hayasaka Ai answered almost instantly.

His previously impeccable professional expression was instantly replaced by an almost fanatical adoration, and his eyes were sparkling.

"If you ask why, it's because God loves His people! Lord Zoffy is the only God in this world!"

Watching Hayasaka Ai spread her arms wide, her eyes shining like a missionary as she sang effusively about the Giant of Light, Kaguya Shinomiya felt somewhat speechless.

Her all-powerful personal attendant had become his number one fangirl ever since Zoffy saved her once...

Uh... why do I have this feeling that Hayasaka's life is ruined from now on?

Just as Hayasaka Ai was about to continue acting as Zoffy's personal bard and reciting her 'Zoffy Hymns', the intercom in the room suddenly rang urgently.

"Tsk..."

Hayasaka Ai's fervor quickly faded, instantly switching back to a calm and professional mode, though a trace of displeasure at being interrupted lingered between her brows.

Are you really that upset about me interrupting your praise of Zoffy?!

I really wish I could call that human form here so you could recite it to your heart's content in front of him...

Kaguya Shinomiya's expression was as cold as an ice sculpture, but her intense urge to make sarcastic remarks was on the verge of spiraling out of control...

Hayasaka Ai picked up the receiver, gave a brief reply, and then hung up.

“Kaguya-sama.” Hayasaka Ai’s voice was steady as she turned around, but it carried a rare hint of seriousness. “A… well, a rather troublesome person has arrived.”

"Troublesome?"

Kaguya Shinomiya was somewhat puzzled.

Before the words were finished, a series of chaotic and hurried footsteps came from outside the corridor, like a baby elephant running wildly.

A warning signal immediately jumped into the ice sculpture girl's mind, and the next moment...

"boom--!"

The bedroom door, made of expensive solid wood and carved with exquisite patterns, was violently slammed open with almost brutal force.

Immediately, a pink figure rushed in like a whirlwind.

"Kaguya-san—! Waaaaaah—!"

The newcomer had striking long pink hair, and the iconic huge black bow on the top of his head swayed up and down as he ran vigorously. His muscular front armor also seemed to be trembling, reflecting his emotions.

And that thing that was all over the place...

Hayasaka Ai's pupils trembled.

A chaotic being named Fujiwara Chika, her face covered in tears, cried out and lunged at Kaguya Shinomiya's bed.

Seeing the pink projectile heading straight for her, Kaguya Shinomiya's elegant and composed demeanor, befitting the Ice Princess, instantly crumbled, replaced by a hint of panic.

"Fujiwara-san, wait—"

Before she could finish speaking, her chest was submerged.

Extra chapter added unexpectedly (I was put to sleep by gastroenteritis.JPG)

Come to think of it, I don't seem to have done another hedgehog cat tradition, I didn't put it up for sale with a bounty.

Oh well, then I won't do it. If I do it and can't pay it back, it will trigger a series of negative chain reactions, and in the end, it will be abandoned under the voices of readers cursing the ugly, shitty old man.

Sigh... Just thinking about it is terrifying. How can I let this bright future be ruined by the bounty?

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Damn it, these pathetic ants actually dare to mess with their savior?

Kaguya Shinomiya felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and her mouth and nose were instantly filled with the scent of Fujiwara Chika's girlish hair and warm body temperature. What followed was a soft yet despairing sense of oppression.

The black-haired, red-eyed girl was slammed back onto the soft mattress by the pink projectile, sinking into it pitifully and helplessly.

"Kaguya-san—! I was so worried about you—! Waaaaaah—!"

Fujiwara Chika showed no sign of letting go, clinging to Shinomiya Kaguya and wailing, her tears and snot smearing all over Shinomiya Kaguya's expensive silk nightgown...

Kaguya Shinomiya felt like she was about to drown in this heavy care. With great difficulty, she turned her head and used all her strength to cast a pleading look at the only thing in the room that could save her.

[Sizzle, beep beep beep, biubiubiu—]

Hayasaka Ai received the signal from her young mistress.

But she just stood there expressionless, silently making the sign of the cross on her chest, and praying for three seconds for the Ice Princess Kaguya who had her face smeared with large breasts.

Then, she cruelly averted her gaze, pretending to check the light-blocking properties of the curtains.

Even someone as perfect as her wasn't particularly interested in getting close to this large-breasted individual who represented chaos and sin...

Tch, is this really the size of a third-year junior high student's breasts... How disgusting!

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes changed from pleading for help to filled with despair.

The pink-haired girl's cries were earth-shattering. After a long while, the curtain finally fell on the master bedroom of the Shinomiya Villa amidst the chaos, and some peace was restored.

Kaguya Shinomiya leaned weakly against the headboard. Although she tried her best to maintain her composure, her pale face and slightly trembling fingertips betrayed her weakness...

Fujiwara Chika, I must say, she has a truly devastating charm...

Whether it's behavioral, physical, or psychological, the damage it causes is immense...

Hayasaka Ai was holding a comb and carefully tidying up Shinomiya Kaguya's messy black hair.

Fujiwara Chika sat sobbing on the edge of the bed. Although she had calmed down a bit, she still clung to Kaguya like a koala, occasionally letting out a sob.

"Kaguya-san, I'm so scared! My parents won't let me go out after that day, and I couldn't sleep all night..."

Kaguya Shinomiya's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. Her gaze shifted from Fujiwara Chika's tear-streaked face to her own arm, which was being held tightly. Feeling helpless, she deliberately maintained her usual calm and aloof tone as she slowly said, "Thank you for your concern, Fujiwara-san. As you can see, I'm safe. Please mind your manners; my arm is almost numb."

Rather, the greatest danger she faces now is this pink-haired, big-breasted creature clinging to her and refusing to get off.

"but......"

Instead of letting go, Fujiwara Chika let out a reluctant nasal sound and pressed herself even closer to Kaguya, tightening her grip on her arms.

"I'm so worried about Kaguya-kun..." Warm breath accompanied by a coquettish murmur sprayed all over Kaguya's neck.

Ugh... This child is so clingy...

Ah, never mind, let her be.

The black-haired girl gave up resisting, expressionlessly letting the pink head rub against her body, feeling as if her arms were about to be crushed by those excessively large front armor pieces.

Hayasaka Ai continued to stroke her hair nonchalantly, occasionally casting sharp, dagger-like glances at her disfigured breasts...

Fujiwara Chika's emotions fluctuate very rapidly, like a drop tower.

The more earth-shattering the outburst was just now, the more peaceful and sunny it is now.

As her sobs subsided and she released all her worries and fears, a renewed sense of curiosity rekindled in her large, watery blue eyes.

"Hey, hey, Kaguya-san, Kaguya-san~"

She was still clinging to Kaguya's arm, but with much less force. She tilted her head up, her face full of anticipation, and asked, "That day... um, Zoffy-sama, was he really that handsome? I saw someone post a video on Twitter, but it was too far away, I couldn't see anything! Seeing it in person must be so different, right? Was he glowing? Did he make you want to kneel down the moment he appeared? Ah, it's such a shame I can't see it in person!"

Kaguya Shinomiya felt her scalp tighten instantly.

Oh no!

She subconsciously turned her head to look to the side.

as predicted.

Her all-powerful attendant's hand, which was combing her hair, had stopped in mid-air. His professional expression had vanished, replaced by a fervent gleam in his eyes. He was about to transform into a bard once more and begin chanting the magnificent "Zoffy Hymn."

We mustn't let her speak!

"Are Fujiwara-san's family members alright? Were his aunt and uncle okay?" After her mind raced, Kaguya Shinomiya decisively changed the subject.

This precise straight shot instantly struck at the core of Fujiwara Chika's mind.

"Ah, Mom and Dad are both doing well. Thank you for your concern, Kaguya!"

Fujiwara Chika's attention was successfully diverted.

Kaguya Shinomiya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she felt the fervent aura behind her visibly weaken, and she returned to being the calm and professional Ai Hayasaka.

However, that disappointed sigh still clearly reached Kaguya Shinomiya's ears.

Sigh... Disappointment is useless now, I've had enough!

Dealing with both Fujiwara Chika, a representative of chaos, and Hayasaka Ai, a Zoffy fanatic, simultaneously took a huge toll on Kaguya Shinomiya's mental strength.

"My parents were so worried! They locked me up at home after that day and wouldn't let me go anywhere, saying it was too dangerous outside! I finally managed to convince them to let me come out to see you today!"

The pink-haired girl, whose topic had been successfully steered astray, pouted and complained. As if to replenish her lack of Kaguya's energy all at once, she pressed her cheek against Kaguya and rubbed against her affectionately.

It's so hot...

Kaguya Shinomiya said with a hint of helplessness, "My aunt and uncle were just thinking about Fujiwara's safety, and they did the right thing."

"Pfft, hmph... I don't care." Fujiwara Chika puffed out her cheeks. "Kaguya-san, you've been through such a terrible thing, how could I possibly stay at home peacefully?"

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya fell silent, but a warm feeling quietly flowed through her heart.

“However…” Fujiwara Chika suddenly lowered her voice and leaned closer mysteriously, “Last night, I overheard Dad and Mom talking.”

"chat...?"

"They seemed to be saying that my great-grandfather and the other old folks... have some strange ideas about Lord Zoffy." Fujiwara Chika frowned, a worry that was very different from her usual innocent face, as she tried to recall. "I didn't quite understand, but it felt like... they were very afraid of Lord Zoffy, like they were planning something... I'm worried they might do something bad to Lord Zoffy."

Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka both paused for a moment.

Fujiwara Chika's great-grandfather was a former Prime Minister who was once a powerful figure in politics and still wields considerable influence today.

“They said things like ‘Gods walking on earth may not be a blessing for mortals,’ and ‘it is necessary to establish channels of communication,’ and ‘in the worst case scenario, we must be prepared to take over divine power’... It terrified me.”

"Kaguya, do you think our great-grandfather and the others misunderstood Lord Zoffy? Lord Zoffy is clearly a hero who came to save us!"

The bedroom was utterly silent.

The air seemed to have been sucked out, so heavy it was suffocating.

Hayasaka Ai's fingers, which were resting on Kaguya's hair, were trembling slightly, unable to stop themselves from doing so.

To wield divine authority?

For her, who revered Zoffy as a deity, those two words were utter blasphemy.

A chilling anger rose from the depths of her heart, but her excellent professionalism allowed her to suppress her emotions without revealing a trace of them.

Kaguya Shinomiya's expression also darkened completely.

She leaned against the headboard, and the coldness and indifference that belonged to Princess Kaguya of Ice in her dark red pupils had now turned into real ice.

It turned out to be the case.

If you can't control it, then be prepared to 'kill the god'.

How ridiculous, and how self-righteously arrogant.

Humans are always afraid of forces beyond their comprehension and try to bring them under their control, or destroy them completely when they can no longer control them.

However, they had no idea what a magnificent being they were facing.

That dazzling light not only purified the poisonous miasma of the entire planet and healed the wounds of life around the world, but also saved countless lives time and time again in times of crisis.

This includes herself, as well as Hayasaka Ai and Fujiwara Chika.

And now, these rescued ants are plotting in the shadows how to deal with their savior?!

An unprecedented feeling of disgust and anger welled up in Kaguya Shinomiya's heart.
