Crossover anime, and you call this a slice-of-life story?

That way, I can go to the movies with the president this weekend.

She originally wanted to choose a movie about romance, but Hayasaka said that saying such a thing would be tantamount to confessing to the other person, so Kaguya chickened out and had to choose a more normal movie about friendship.

However, although it is a movie about friendship, the fact that a man and a woman go to the movies together creates a special atmosphere. Under the influence of this atmosphere, even if the president does not confess, their feelings for each other will still grow stronger.

After listening to Ishigami's words, Fujiwara looked at Shangguan Yun and Shinomiya Kaguya. Just as she was about to speak, Shangguan Yun's phone rang.

Weiwei made an apologetic gesture, and Shangguan Yun picked up the phone. The caller ID showed it was his mother.

With her finger swiping across her phone, Shangguan Yun answered the call and said in Chinese, "Hello, Mom, what's up?"

A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xiaoyun, how are you doing in Japan? Your brother is something else, he came here by himself, but he had to bring you along too."

"Mom, I've already told you, I wanted to come here myself, and it's good that I'm here so they can feel at ease."

"Alright, just take good care of yourselves over there, you two brothers. No one can bully you. I'm calling this time because there's something else I need you to handle."

"what's up?"

"Your cousin is going to school in Japan this weekend. She arrives at the airport on Saturday. Could you please pick her up and arrange accommodation for her?"

Which cousin?

“Coco from Old Tang’s family, she used to follow you around all the time.”

Upon hearing the name, Shangguan Yun chuckled lightly: "I know, what made that girl decide to study here?"

"Ahem, you can ask her about that yourself later. You have to take good care of Coco; she's just an ordinary person."

"Don't worry, I won't let her get bullied. Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up now. I'm in the student council right now."

"It's alright, I'll call your brother again. Oh, and don't forget to bring a few back with you..."

Beep...beep...beep...

Before his mother could finish speaking, Shangguan Yun hung up the phone.

Chapter 3 Ishigami: Shut up, Fujiwara-senpai! You'll be killed!

Turning around, Ishigami saw Fujiwara Chika looking quite interested, and he was also a little curious.

Kaguya Shinomiya was lost in thought, seemingly engrossed in her own fantasy ever since she heard the word "Mom," occasionally letting out a silly chuckle.

Everyone present could understand Chinese.

After Japan became a tributary state of China, Japanese people gradually began to use Chinese. However, due to the distance and the fact that China did not impose many restrictions on Japan, the overall change was not significant, and communication was still mainly done in Japanese.

At Shuchiin Academy, where the deviation score is as high as 77, 80% of the students can speak Chinese.

Since most of them are children of wealthy and prominent families, there are naturally strict requirements for their language skills.

I don't know if it's because the president's phone has good soundproofing, but I couldn't hear anything from the other end. I only knew that it was the president's mother calling.

From the president's words, it seems that his cousin is coming to Japan to study?

Sure enough, Shangguan Yun apologized, "I'm sorry, I have to pick up my cousin this weekend and arrange accommodation for her, so I can't go to the movies this weekend."

Upon hearing that she couldn't go to the movies, Kaguya Shinomiya finally came back to reality, feeling somewhat frustrated but helpless.

"I don't have time this week, but how about our student union organizes a party next weekend? If you'd like, I can also introduce you to my cousin."

"I'm all set! I'd also like to meet the president's cousin."

Kaguya Shinomiya instantly revived, preparing to discuss with Hayasaka how to improve her relationship with her cousin after returning home tonight.

"Next weekend should be fine. So, Kaguya, do you want to go see these two movie tickets?" Fujiwara Chika asked Kaguya, pulling out a movie ticket.

“No, I have no interest in that kind of movie,” Kaguya replied calmly.

"Alright then, I'll ask Giga and the others if they want to go."

Shangguan Yun looked at Shishang, who remained silent, and asked, "Shishang, are you free next weekend?"

"Huh? Can I go too?" Ishigami seemed a little surprised that he had also been invited.

"Of course! You're now a member of our student council. The student council wouldn't be complete without you. This gathering is also a welcome party for you."

"Ishigami, are you going to abandon us?" Fujiwara looked at Ishigami with teary eyes, as if she was about to be abandoned.

"Yes, I understand, I'll go." Although he was having some trouble dealing with Fujiwara-senpai, Ishigami felt surprisingly good.

Indeed, accepting the president's invitation to join the student council was the right decision.

After finishing their lunchboxes, the student council members went back to their respective tasks.

Only Fujiwara Chika seemed to have nothing to do. After circling the sofa several times, Kaguya decisively threw a stack of documents at her, which finally made her behave.

One hour later.

"Hmm—finally done!"

Fujiwara Chika stretched, as if she had accomplished something remarkable.

Kaguya, standing directly opposite, gritted her teeth and stared intently at a certain spot on Fujiwara, cursing him once again in her heart.

"Huh? Kaguya, aren't you happy?"

Fujiwara, unusually, noticed Kaguya's emotional change and moved closer to her, staring intently at her.

Kaguya didn't refute it, not only because of Fujiwara, but also because... even now, the president still hasn't noticed her own changes!

Hayasaka confidently declared that her "new look" would surely captivate the chairman, but the chairman spent the entire morning dealing with documents and didn't even notice her change!

'What a big liar! Hmph, Hayasaka, that guy with no dating experience, is completely unreliable!'

While chatting and laughing with her friends in the classroom, Hayasaka Ai felt a tickle in her nose and wanted to sneeze, but she managed to stop it with amazing willpower.

He casually rubbed the tip of his nose, inwardly grumbling, "The young lady must be talking bad about me again... Today too. If I hadn't come up with a good excuse, she definitely wouldn't have let me off so easily. Honestly, if you don't cherish me, you'll regret it and cry..."

It must be said that, as a dedicated professional maid, Hayasaka Ai's understanding of her master has reached a level that is almost like telepathy.

Within the student council.

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at the worried-looking Chika Fujiwara, and her dissatisfaction lessened slightly. After all, Chika Fujiwara was the person she had spent the most time with besides Hayasaka.

'Yes, if I just gave her a hint, she would definitely notice the change in her. In fact, she hasn't noticed yet. Fujiwara is definitely just a superficial friend.'

"Ahem, Fujiwara, a holiday has passed, and you don't seem to have changed much. You still have the same hairstyle and the same hair accessories."

Kaguya Shinomiya brought up the topic of headdresses, hoping that Chika Fujiwara would notice the changes in her.

To everyone's surprise, Fujiwara Chika instantly showed a sad expression, her eyes became lifeless, as if she had suffered a great trauma.

"W-what's wrong?"

This expression made Kaguya wonder if she had said something wrong. No matter how much she disliked the other person, she was still one of her few friends.

Just as she was about to offer some words of comfort, Fujiwara Chika said in the tone of an abandoned woman, "I didn't expect that even you, Kaguya, didn't notice. As expected, I'm a person with a terrible personality who doesn't deserve attention."

While I agree with your point, what should I pay attention to?

After internally complaining, Kaguya still asked, "I'm sorry, Fujiwara, you said you noticed, right?"

"Hair accessory! I definitely changed my hair accessory!"

"What? This is clearly the hair accessory from before, isn't it?"

Kaguya was very confident in her memory; she was certain that Fujiwara's previous hair accessory was a black ribbon.

"You really don't care about me! Your previous hair accessory was clearly very black, but the one I'm wearing now is deep black."

Kaguya Shinomiya's face was stiff, her fists clenched. She felt that trying to reason with Fujiwara was the most foolish decision she had ever made.

'Who even bothers to distinguish between extreme black and deep black! Besides, my change is clearly more obvious, and she hasn't even noticed. She still has the nerve to pretend to be innocent. This woman is truly useless social trash; if she's not dealt with soon, she'll definitely become a threat to society!'

Have you noticed any changes in me?

Kaguya squeezed those words out through gritted teeth; her patience was nearing its limit.

Kaguya could only feel the student council president watching her from behind, but her anger towards Fujiwara had already overwhelmed her shyness.

Fujiwara seemed completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, displaying a serious expression.

First, it circled around Kaguya, then touched and sniffed here and there. Just as Kaguya was about to lose control of the murderous intent in her eyes, its eyes lit up, and it slammed its hand into its palm, "So that's how it is!"

Kaguya was secretly delighted and couldn't help but steal a glance at Shangguan Yun.

But Fujiwara gave a cute, innocent smile: "Hehe, Kaguya, did you gain weight during the holidays? Poke, poke, poke, so soft~ Hehehe~"

Seeing Fujiwara Chika poking Kaguya's face with her index finger, and Shinomiya Kaguya's expression turn sinister and terrifying, Ishigami Yu roared inwardly: 'Shut up, Fujiwara-senpai! You'll be killed! A demon's shadow is appearing behind Shinomiya-senpai!'

"Fuji! Hara! Chi! Flower!"

"Waaaaah!!! Kaguya's so scary! President, save me!"

Chapter Four: Eyes at the Corner of the Stairs

'This woman was definitely playing me; she's such a repulsive creature.'

Kaguya's gaze grew even colder as she looked at Fujiwara Chika, who was peeking out from behind Shangguan Yun.

"President, can I have Fujiwara? I have some private matters I'd like to discuss with her."

Shangguan Yun looked helplessly at Fujiwara Chika, who was tearfully shaking her head and clutching the hem of her uniform. He decisively took a step back, subtly pulled out a corner of his uniform, and pushed the wailing Fujiwara Secretary away.

"Then I'll leave Fujiwara to you, Shinomiya."

"Don't worry, President, I will find a good place carefully."

"Yes, be careful not to get noticed."

As their conversation grew increasingly terrifying, Fujiwara shouted, "What kind of criminal declaration are you two plotting?! I know I was wrong, I noticed it a long time ago, Kaguya changed her ribbon, it's so cute, the student council president must have noticed it too and that's why he didn't say anything, even though he's just as wicked as me, he didn't even protect me!"

"Oh, really, really?"

The shadow behind Kaguya vanished instantly, and she only selectively heard the words 'President,' 'Attention,' 'New Ribbon,' and 'Cute.'

Her anger at Fujiwara for toying with her vanished, replaced by a blush rising on her cheeks.

"President, have you really noticed?"

Kaguya mustered her courage and asked.

"Yes, I noticed it as soon as you came in. You always used red ribbons before, so it's easy to spot the white one. Both colors are pretty and suit you well."

"Yes, really? I spent a long time choosing today. As long as they're not too ugly, that's fine."

Hayasaka is a case in point. If it weren't for the start of school, her family would probably have dragged her around for a whole day to choose. So why can't you choose these things a few days in advance?

Having narrowly escaped, Fujiwara puffed out his cheeks and muttered, "As expected, the president also wanted to play a trick on Kaguya, even betraying his comrade."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yun gently tapped Fujiwara Chika's head, "You noticed it, but there's no need to ask about it. It's your thinking that's strange."

"Humph!"

Thinking she couldn't beat the student council president, Fujiwara Chika snorted, covered her head, and ran to a corner to play the victim with Ishigami Yu.

By this time, Kaguya had returned to normal and was calmly brewing black tea.

She had achieved her goal. Although the process was somewhat tortuous, she ultimately received praise from the president, which made Kaguya feel very satisfied.

After finishing her work at the student council, Kaguya Shinomiya got into her family's car that had come to pick her up and left with Ai Hayasaka in the back seat.

Fujiwara Chika and Ishigami Yu had left an hour earlier.

Shangguan Yun tidied up the documents and gently closed the student council door.

The corridor was somewhat dim, as the work had been done late, and there were almost no students left in the school corridors at this time.

"Chirp...chirp chirp..."

The sound seemed to be an animal's cry, which was very clear and eerie in the quiet corridor.

Shangguan Yun's expression remained unchanged, as if he had not heard anything at all.

As they reached the corner of the stairs, a fist-sized eye suddenly opened on the handrail, its edges seemingly covered in feathers. It trembled and stared intently at the person in front of them.
