Chapter 327: The winner is------ Kaguya-sama!!
Tokyo Disneyland.
Located in Chiba, not far from Tokyo, you can take the train and then transfer to a bus to get there, it doesn't take much time.
If it were an ordinary family, they would definitely choose to go that way — but Shinomiya Kaguya was different.
The Shinomiya family is the heart of this country, and you want Kaguya-sama to squeeze onto the subway?
Hmph, that would be losing the Ojou-sama style!
"So this is the reason you made us ride a black luxury limousine to Disneyland?"
"(ノ _ <,, )
Sakurai Saki raised a hand to her forehead.
We're just going to an amusement park, is this really necessary? Please, can't you live like a normal person for once?
"I already checked all the routes. If we get off at Maihama Station, we just have to walk a bit to reach Disneyland."
"It's rush hour now. You want a noble Ojou-sama like me to squeeze in with a bunch of office workers and get soaked in their sweat smell the whole way?"
（￣^￣）凸
Kaguya lifted her teacup and took a sip with full English noble elegance.
No way, Kaguya-san, you're really drinking tea in the car? Even if it's a luxury limousine with a spacious trunk, but still…
"Come on, stop arguing~" Fujiwara Chika pulled out a deck of cards."While we're on the way, let's play joker draw!"
She even pulled out a marker pen.
"Miska! Muska! Mickey Mouse! Whoever loses will get a Mickey drawn on their face!"
₍₍⚞(˶˃ ꒳ ˂˶)⚟⁾⁾
Chika shouted excitedly, her face full of enthusiasm.
For her, playing games sometimes was even more important than Sakurai Saki.
"Secretary-chan, isn't it kinda inappropriate to play cards in the car?"
Hayasaka Ai, seeing this, took out her phone and started scrolling, not looking very interested in Chika's cheerful Mickey Mouse.
"Ehhh, Ai-chan, don't tell me… you're afraid of losing to me? Pupupu~ Coward~" Chika covered her mouth, snickering.
Chika: (≖⩊≖)
Hayasaka: ( ` ᴖ ´ )
"Nah, i'd win" Ai-chan put down her phone and replied with a smile.
She didn't necessarily have to win, but she absolutely didn't want to lose.
Especially not to this pink-haired "losing heroine"!!
Sakurai Saki looked at the scene and really wanted to say one thing —
"Stop fighting, don't fight because of me!!"
But right now, he was the prize, and the prize wasn't allowed to speak.
"Sakurai-san, aren't you going to play?" Shinomiya Kaguya held the deck of cards, looking at him with eyes full of expectation.
"Uh..."
"What's wrong? Afraid of losing?"
"Nah, i'd win!"
Sakurai Saki didn't really want to win, but he didn't want to lose either, especially not to Shinomiya Kaguya.
He'd already lost in grades, next he was about to lose at cards, after losing at cards he'd lose his body, and after losing his body there'd be nothing left to lose! Probably even his dignity would be gone!
"Even something as simple as provocation works. Men, after all, are just creatures controlled by their pride." Shinomiya Kaguya sighed and showed a mocking expression.
Clearly, she was the one who invited to play, and yet she still managed to mock him afterward — that's just so Kaguya!
"I'll return those words right back to you. Who was it again, who lost a bet to me before and had to wear a maid outfit and serve me for an entire afternoon?" Sakurai Saki ripped open her old scar.
Sakurai: (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)
Shinomiya Kaguya chose to counterattack: "Who was it again, who was so scared at night they didn't dare to sleep alone… cough."
Kaguya: (,,¬﹏¬,,)
Halfway through speaking, Shinomiya Kaguya realized this wasn't something Chika could find out.
The other party was an unpredictable [Variable F], and mentioning the winter camping would only embarrass herself further.
"Eh eh? So Saki-kun is afraid of the dark?" Chika asked curiously.
"I'm not."
"Oh, really~"
What are you disappointed about?
Sakurai Saki's face was full of question marks.
He could never understand how Chika's brain worked!
"Then are you afraid of heights?" Chika asked another question.
"I'm not. I can ride roller coasters without changing my expression." Sakurai Saki said confidently.
An Esper isn't afraid of the dark, nor of roller coasters.
Suddenly, he felt a tickle in his nose.
"Achoo——" Sakurai Saki sneezed.
It's cherry blossom season again.
April — aside from the annoying start of the school year, pollen allergies were another headache.
"Sakurai-san, are you okay?" Shinomiya Kaguya saw that and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, it's just an old condition."
"That's good." Kaguya gently placed her hand on her chest and let out a sigh of relief.
This scene made Fujiwara Chika a little surprised.
Kaguya-san actually cares about Saki-kun? Is the world about to end or something?
Fujiwara Chika was never good at observing changes in relationships around her, especially small changes like this.
Even now, she still thought her only rival was Hayasaka Ai.
Or rather, in Chika's heart, Shinomiya Kaguya was almost perfect — someone who wouldn't easily like anyone else.
"Alright, let's get started quickly."
Chika changed the subject.
Joker draw begins!
Ten minutes later.
Fujiwara Chika looked at the only Joker card left in her hand, her face full of misery.
"Kaguya-san, can you draw it a little smaller?"
Shinomiya Kaguya smiled: "No way~"
Devil! She's completely a devil!
Fujiwara Chika could feel the marker brushing across her cheek, and tears almost fell.
If she had to enter the park with a Mickey Mouse drawn on her face, what was she supposed to do!?
"Keep going?" Sakurai Saki asked.
He had a feeling that if this continued, Chika's face would be completely covered.
"Continue!"
The other three exchanged glances.
It seemed they had reached some kind of strange agreement.
...
Half an hour later.
Fujiwara Chika stood in front of the Disneyland gate, her face filled with despair.
Chika: ૮(˶╥︿╥)ა
Hayasaka Ai took out some wet wipes and helped her wipe her face.
"Thanks~ Ai-chan~"
Chika was deeply moved.
Even though most of the Mickey Mouse drawings on her face were done by the very same person.
What's this called again? Stockholm Syndrome?
"No need to thank me~" Hayasaka Ai casually rubbed her cheek.
So soft.
"Love Ai-chan the most~"
In that moment, Chika completely forgot the fact that this person was her love rival.
Hayasaka Ai's hand froze for a few seconds.
In the end, she gave up on the idea of leaving a few doodles on Chika's face — there was some weird sense of guilt stopping her.
Hayasaka Ai helped Chika wipe her face clean.
...
The four of them lined up to enter the amusement park.
Since it was spring break, there were a lot of students here, all looking young, and among them were many couples.
Even though the crowd was dense, the group of four from Shuchiin still drew countless gazes.
The combination of a handsome boy and beautiful girls made people wonder if they were some kind of idol group out for a day trip.
"What should we do first?" This was Sakurai Saki's first time at Disney.
Previously, just to give Chika a gift, he'd looked up some information about the place.
"The one that would embarrass you the most." Shinomiya Kaguya held the park map, flipping through it as she spoke.
"So that's the roller coaster, huh?" Sakurai Saki wasn't afraid of heights, but he thought Shinomiya Kaguya would be.
"Alright."
A dozen minutes later, all four of them started lining up.
This was perfectly normal — when going to Disney, lining up was an essential part of the experience.
"Who are you going to sit with?"
Shinomiya Kaguya asked.
Sakurai Saki was just about to answer "with you, then enjoy watching your expression when you scream,"
but his girlfriend was right next to him, and Chika was also here...
Haiz, what a dilemma.
"Why not sit with Secretary-chan?" Hayasaka Ai smiled.
"I'm fine, Saki-kun should sit with his girlfriend." Chika gave way.
This move was called "retreat one step to advance three"!
Unfortunately, both of them used the same move, so neither could break the other's defense.
Shinomiya Kaguya tilted her head: "Then sit with me. You two don't look very happy anyway."
Ai-chan & Chika: "?"
It's over, she stole him!
