President! Just learning French! That is, he did indeed tell me he didn't know French, I completely misunderstood!
A tragic cry sounded in her heart, Kaguya Shinomiya was stared at intensely by two pairs of eyes, only feeling her cheeks heating up rapidly.
If they were just practicing spoken language just now, then her rushing in so eagerly and screaming so loudly means what.
"Hey, Shinomiya, what I meant by not being able to accept confessions from others..."
The narrow eyes finally widened slightly, looking less fierce.
Just when Miyazawa Yu felt that this student Shinomiya was a little foolish and prepared to explain a couple more sentences, a flash of lightning suddenly struck through Miyuki Shirogane's mind.
With a curve hanging on the corner of his mouth, he rotated the ballpoint pen in his hand, tapped the desk, and turned his head to ask: "Is it that I can only confess to you?"
"Eh?"
"Aah! No, it's not..."
Clutching the hem of her skirt tightly with her slender hands, Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lip and took half a step back, her publicly recognized genius brain starting to super-frequency operate.
That's right, the way she rushed in impatiently to interrupt the President's confession indeed looked exactly like declaring sovereignty, but the situation definitely still has a chance for change!
Her confessing first, NO! The President being snatched away by someone else is the NO of all NOs!
"Actually, I was just so agitated because the school rules don't allow campus romance, ah ha, ah ha ha..."
"Is it just because of the school rules? Or is it that Shinomiya actually has other feelings for me!"
Insufficient evidence! Mere school rules absolutely cannot explain why you cannot accept another person's confession! You should know this too, Shinomiya...
The curve at the corner of his mouth grew larger, Miyuki Shirogane now felt he had taken the dominant position, how could he let go of the chance to press the advantage!
Come on, Shinomiya! Just obediently say that the reason you cannot accept others confessing to me is because you like me!
"???"
Brain overloaded, Miyazawa Yu's CPU had issued a warning, he thought what the girl said was quite reasonable, after all, public early romance is definitely a major taboo.
But why do both of these people look so awkward, like they like each other but want the other person to say it.
Has high school underachievers' romance already become this competitive? It feels like fighting a war!
Wait a minute, Shinomiya? Didn't Miyuki seem to have said that he wanted to learn French precisely so he wouldn't be looked down upon by Shinomiya?
"Ah, that, Miyuki, weren't you learning French because of Shinomiya-san? You should like her, right?"
"What!!!"
A mouthful of old blood spurted out, Miyuki Shirogane suddenly turned his head, looking at Miyazawa Yu's naturally innocent expression, he seemed to see Chika Fujiwara's back.
Damn it! It's actually a natural airhead stand user of the same type! The situation is about to reverse!
"Ara!"
Clutching her mouth in surprise, Kaguya Shinomiya instantly realized that now was the time to sound the horn of counterattack, so she immediately put on a surprised expression and asked: "Was the President learning French for my sake? How happy!"
"No! It's not!!!"
His eyes wide with anger, full of bloodshot veins, Miyuki Shirogane violently lowered his head, startling Miyazawa Yu.
"It's because the student council must be responsible for reception duties, and letting the Vice President Shinomiya handle it alone is too inhumane, that's all!"
"Really? President Shirogane is truly gentle~"
Stop while ahead, now both of them hold the other's leverage, if they keep pressing each other, neither will come out ahead!
After a counter-check, Kaguya Shinomiya tossed her hair to cover her crimson cheeks and turned around to encourage: "Since that's the case, I won't disturb the President learning French, please work hard for my sake."
"Ah... Mm, but I already said it's just for the student council's prestige."
With his hands braced on the desk, forcing a calm composure, Miyuki Shirogane was panting heavily, his gaze darting around, simply refusing to make eye contact with Kaguya Shinomiya.
Seeing this, the latter no longer teased, turning her head and walking out of the cooking classroom.
However, Miyazawa Yu, thanks to his advantageous position, still read the words the girl's lips subtly formed but didn't utter, just before she left.
"Really, an idiot, aren't you?"
"Ah!!! So close, I was almost checkmated!"
"Wait! Speaking of which, what exactly are you two doing! Why do I feel like my soul is about to be dragged in!"
Tapping the desk to draw the other party's attention over, Miyazawa Yu leaned in with a face full of curiosity and asked: "Is she the girl you like? Since you like her, express your feelings and just confess directly!"
"No, she's just a member of the same student council, we're only a bit closer in relationship."
"I have a way to help you confess successfully, you know!"
"Really!?"
His eyes instantly changed into half-moon eyes, looking at the student who got excited at the mention of confession, Miyazawa Yu criticized him out of disappointment: "Isn't this liking! And it's liking to the extreme!"
"You tricked me!"
"It's just reasonable deduction plus a little bit of verbal trickery, how can you call it a trick!"
Experienced upperclassmen are so scary! Just like the previous student council president who could see through everything!
Shirogane Miyuki shivered, vigilantly moving to the side, but Miyazawa Yu wouldn't let him go.
"And that girl likes you too, right? Why can't you confess frankly? Is it because your grades are too poor and you're afraid your family won't allow early romance?"
"No! My grades are very good, and my family has no problem..."
Since he had been discovered, Miyuki Shirogane felt there was no use in concealing it anymore, anyway, the previous student council president also knew that he liked Kaguya.
So, even if it's a teacher, mentioning it slightly shouldn't be a problem, right?
"It's a Genius's Love Brain Battle!"
"What is that thing?"
With "confused" written on his left eye and "baffled" on his right, Miyazawa Yu felt like he had heard some incredible self-created vocabulary.
It has genius, love, and a brain battle, just hearing the name makes it sound profound without understanding!
"That's right! In love, the one who falls in love first, which is the one who confesses first, is the loser, and will forever be in a situation of complete domination by the winner!"
Closing his eyes in a headache, Miyuki Shirogane pressed his temples and explained in a deep voice: "Therefore, smart people in love will choose to make the other party confess, this is the so-called Genius's Love Brain Battle!"
"???"
God damn Love Brain Battle, isn't this just a guide for two awkward people on how to remain single even though they both like each other!
Sucking in a breath of cold air, Miyazawa Yu expressed his non-understanding but respect for this strange view on love.
"So that means, if, if both of you hold this thought, then won't you never be able to be together?"
"Mmm!"
His eyes widened, is this guy really an adult already, why are his words so heartbreaking.
Miyuki Shirogane's pupils trembled wildly, posing Gendo Ikari's signature posture, he froze for a long time, and finally uttered a self-comforting answer: "It's okay, it's only the second year of high school, we still have plenty of time..."
"It's not long anymore, you know! If you waste time thinking you still have plenty of time, time will, conversely, play tricks on you!"
Hooking the younger one's shoulder over, Miyazawa Yu couldn't stand this kind of wishy-washy guy.
If you like someone, say it, if that doesn't work, then pursue them, aside from needing to be a little cautious about becoming adults, things like holding hands should all be decided by courage and spontaneity!
If you always think you still have plenty of time, and you'll wait and see.
Who can guarantee that tomorrow will definitely arrive before the unexpected!
"Time will... play tricks on me?"
Indeed, throughout the first year of high school, he and Kaguya had been promoted from strangers to friends, but after the second year, there has been no progress at all. If things continue like this, even after graduation, there probably won't be any result!
He seemed to have realized something, but didn't know what to do, Miyuki Shirogane could only fix his gaze on Miyazawa Yu.
"You'll rely on me? Actually, I don't have a girlfriend right now either..."
"You don't? Then what you just told me about!"
"Wait, wait!"
Seeing Miyuki Shirogane also making a shocked face, Miyazawa Yu quickly waved his hands to stop him, it wouldn't be good for a handsome young man to become a Pab-member!
"How about this! I'll tutor you in French these next few days, and by the way, I'll observe your daily interactions. As a return, how about letting you watch my confession?"
"Watch a confession!!!"
"Ah... my eardrums are going to be damaged~"
Looking at Miyuki, whose face turned completely red just by hearing the word 'confession', Miyazawa Yu covered his ears and nodded with a smile in his eyes.
"That's right! A confession, to an older sister I've only known for less than half a year, it was love at first sight!"
"Known for less than half a year! Promiscuous man!"
Miyuki Shirogane was horrified, confessing after knowing someone for less than half a year, this is simply too reckless!
And the 'love at first sight' thing, isn't that just being smitten by beauty!
"Hiss... I can't refute that, but I am truly sincere."
Miyazawa Yu, who was completely smitten by beauty, felt ashamed in the face of the pure-hearted boy's accusation.
But shameless people are the ones who thrive, anyway, among the people he hangs out with, there aren't many normal ones.
"Ah, right! I heard Shinomiya-san call you 'President' just now, did you start your own club?"
"No, no, no, it's the student council, I'm the President this term, and Shinomiya is the Vice President!"
"Ugh... this school is going to be ruined sooner or later!"
The President and Vice President are actually both love-obsessed, Miyazawa Yu's evaluation of Shuchi'in Academy instantly dropped significantly.
"..."
With a rope tied around her waist, suspended in mid-air, Ai Hayasaka was pressed against the glass, listening clearly to the conversation between the two people inside.
" Miyazawa Yu? That name sounds familiar..."
