Chapter 422: Responsible Miko-chan
After eating and resting for a while, the group continued on their way to the destination.
The scenery outside the car window gradually left the city behind.
After another half hour of driving, everyone arrived at the mountain villa that Sakurai Saki had mentioned.
First impression: big.
Fujiwara Chika tilted her head as she looked at the Western-style building before them. Three floors. With her imagination of Sakurai Saki's house, she had expected a Japanese-style home, not this Western-style design.
Sakurai Saki parked the car in the privately built parking area outside the villa, then introduced: "Inside, the entertainment equipment is almost fully set up. I already sent the game consoles and board games over beforehand. But the outdoor pool is a bit large, so it hasn't been cleaned for quite a while. If anyone wants to swim, it'll take time to clean it…"
"If we're playing in the water, we should go to the river." Ishigami Yuu—although he was the type who preferred staying indoors and didn't like running around—would definitely choose the river over cleaning a pool.
It can only be said: that's what laziness looks like.
"Ishigami is right. We don't need to…" Shirogane Miyuki was just about to speak when he suddenly thought of a problem.
Swimming in a river… and swimming in a pool… aren't those two completely different things?
The place where Shirogane learned to swim wasn't a fast-flowing river, but a water park. Even the school's swim classes never used flowing water.
He had never swum in a river before!
In short, Shirogane Miyuki began to panic!
'What if I can't swim?'
He definitely didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Ishigami and Miko! This was the pride of the student council president! And the dignity of a man!
Shirogane Miyuki changed his mind: "How about… I clean it?"
"No need! Really no need! Myuu-senpai, don't be like that anymore! Summer vacation is ending and you'll stop working soon, relax a little for us, okay~" Ishigami Yuu laughed loudly, patted his shoulder, then got out of the car.
After that, everyone got out of the car to unload their luggage.
Shirogane Miyuki stayed silent until they entered the villa's living room.
From outside it already looked not small, but the reasonable layout and design made him feel an even greater sense of spaciousness! Yes, a sense of spaciousness right inside the living room of the house!
In the end, among the Student Council, he was probably the only one from a poor family… Shirogane Miyuki sighed internally.
However, since everyone they befriended didn't care about family background, it was fine.
At Shuchiin, class stratification was actually quite severe. Many students would ask about the other person's parents' jobs before making friends; the clearest example was their attitude toward Mixed students—they practically wrote the word contempt on their faces.
"How will we divide the rooms?" Sakurai Saki looked around and explained: "The second and third floors each have five rooms."
There were eight people in total, so two rooms would even be left unused.
"Split by gender?"
Shirogane Miyuki proposed.
He made that suggestion so his younger sister could escape from Sakurai Saki's "clutches."
If Kaguya and Kei shared a room, Sakurai Saki probably wouldn't dare do anything strange.
"Why is everyone quiet?" Right after Shirogane Miyuki spoke, he noticed no one responded and wondered if he said something wrong.
But that wasn't the case.
Some people in the group were thinking.
After a brief silence—
Hayasaka Ai struck first: "I want to sleep with my boyfriend-kun."
There was no need for the girlfriend title now! When else would it be needed?
Could the other girls sitting here manage to say something like this?
"Then… Sakurai, you sleep with Hayasaka-san? The rest will be divided by gender? Girls on the second floor, boys on the third floor?"
"But I want to play board games with Saki-kun tonight." Fujiwara Chika immediately used a move that matched her personality.
No one could doubt the sincerity of her words.
Because normally, she really did cling to Saki-kun to play board games together.
"Then Secretary Fujiwara…"
"No need, if it's just board games, we can play together in the living room. The multiplayer games we couldn't play before now seem possible, right?" Shinomiya Kaguya cut off Fujiwara Chika's words, and right after that, she received a gaze from Fujiwara Chika—a gaze full of emotion.
'Why are you betraying me? Kaguya-san, you know I like Saki-kun, right?'
Shinomiya Kaguya could read that suspicion from her eyes.
Sorry, Secretary Fujiwara, do you really need to ask why?
Of course it's because I also like Sakurai. What else? You can't possibly be naïve enough to think I'd choose friendship over love, right? This is a battle to win a man. Even if I can't be the main wife, I should at least be a concubine. As for you, "Earth cancer," the only position you can have is a low-ranking concubine.
"But… but…" Fujiwara Chika's expression gradually turned aggrieved, looking like she was about to cry.
She couldn't find a reason to sleep with Sakurai Saki!
At that moment, Shirogane Kei, as the little sister who didn't understand the situation at all, tilted her head in confusion: "Chika-nee, if you want to play board games alone with Saki-nii, you can just go upstairs."
Fujiwara Chika: "..."
Are, why didn't I think of that?
She couldn't sleep next to him, which made "night raid" more difficult, but that didn't mean she couldn't do it!
"Hmm hmm, two people playing board games alone is boring anyway, so never mind." The aggrieved look on Fujiwara Chika's face instantly vanished, replaced by a radiant smile.
During these three days and nights at the villa, she had to make Ai-chan "green-haired" at least once!
Betting her title as the love detective! She must succeed in the night raid!
"…Hayasaka-senpai, even though I know you and Sakurai-senpai are a couple, during a group activity like this, sleeping together isn't good… I… I'm afraid you two will do that thing." Iino Miko mumbled, blushing as she said it.
"Eh, what…?"
Shirogane Kei, being a middle schooler, thought for a few seconds and then blushed as she realized the issue.
"…Saki-nii, if everyone is going out to have fun together, you can't do e-ecchi things."
"Right right." Fujiwara Chika nodded.
If those two slept together, her chances of success would drop straight down.
"Ai-san, intimacy doesn't need to be rushed." Shinomiya Kaguya also wanted to join in "dividing the shares."
At this moment, being pressured by the entire group, Hayasaka Ai had no choice but to reluctantly accept the "verdict": "I know."
After that—
Iino Miko nodded in satisfaction, then announced:
"Even though we've eliminated the possibility of Hayasaka-senpai and Sakurai-senpai doing ecchi things, to prevent Sakurai-senpai from sneaking upstairs to date Hayasaka-senpai, I've decided to sleep in the room next to Sakurai-senpai, supervising him at all times!"
Shinomiya Kaguya & Hayasaka Ai & Chika: "?"
Seriously, are you sure you're not planning to 'supervise then take him for yourself'?
At this moment, all the girls thought Miko's previous statement was such a waste! Her words weren't meant to stop the two from "having fun," but to prepare for cutting in!
"I think that's a good idea. Miko-senpai's reputation for being serious and responsible is famous in our middle school division. I heard she's even a top candidate for next year's high school student council president. Having her supervise Saki-nii should definitely be fine!" Shirogane Kei offered her opinion.
Iino Miko rushed over and shouted: "Kei-chan~ I like you the most!"
Wonderful! She could go into Sakurai-senpai's room at midnight to chat with him!
What's that? Just chatting? Of course. What else would they do? They're not allowed to do ecchi things~
