Guina entered the classroom, her radiant blonde hair swaying gently as she walked toward Sekai and Jessyka.
"So, you were talking about me, huh? What's all this commotion? I could hear your little show from the hallway," Guina said softly, crossing her arms.
"As if you didn't know! You were clinging to my Sekai, weren't you, you shameless blonde pervert?!" Jessyka shouted furiously.
"Calm down, Jessy…" Sekai said, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. "The president will clear things up, right?" he added, looking at Guina with a hopeful smile.
"Answer me, you snake! Were you all over my Sekai or not?!" Jessyka demanded, pointing straight at her.
Guina, still with a neutral expression, stared at the two for a few seconds. She rested her hand under her chin, thinking. Then, for a brief moment, a mischievous smile curved her lips. She turned her gaze to Sekai.
"President…?" Sekai asked, visibly confused.
Before anyone could react, Guina moved in a blur. Jessyka barely caught the golden streak of her hair as she passed by.
When Jessyka turned around, Guina was already behind Sekai — her left arm wrapped firmly around his torso just below his chest, and her right hand rested dangerously low, brushing against his thigh.
Sekai's face turned bright red.
"President… what are you—" he stammered, too flustered to finish as the girl leaned in close and blew softly into his ear.
"Wha—" was all Sekai could manage, his brain short-circuiting.
Jessyka stood frozen. A storm of emotions swirled inside her — jealousy, rage, disgust… Her eyes darkened to black.
"Answering your question, sweetheart — yes, I did have a little moment with this boy in the hallway before class. After all, he's just too cute to resist, isn't he?" Guina said with a teasing grin.
Jessyka's eyes widened. She raised her fist and threw a punch with all her strength — but before it could connect, Guina was already gone.
In the blink of an eye, she was standing at the classroom door — holding Sekai in her arms like a princess.
Jessyka glared, her eyes burning black.
"How about a little game? You want him? Then come and get him!" Guina taunted, then dashed out of the room.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU, BLONDE VIPER!!!" Jessyka screamed, sprinting after her.
Guina ran down the hallways with a satisfied grin, Jessyka close behind.
Students and teachers froze as they saw two stunning girls — one blonde, one red-haired — racing through the corridors, one of them carrying a flustered boy in her arms.
"Haha! This is way more fun than I expected!" Guina laughed.
"President… why are you doing this? Wouldn't it have been easier to just tell her the truth? Jessyka can be… sensitive about these things," Sekai said, utterly embarrassed.
"Oh, where's the fun in that? Relax, boy, I know my limits." She smiled and winked at him, and Sekai's heart skipped a beat.
"Maybe… but I don't think Jessyka's enjoying it."
They looked back — Jessyka's face was blank, her expression unreadable. Sekai had a bad feeling. If she caught them, someone might commit a crime...
"Nah, she's having fun too! Hahaha!" Guina laughed.
"Eh?!" Sekai reacted incredulously to Guina's optimism—or negligence.
"Looks like she's slowing down," Guina said, glancing back.
"You don't know Jessyka. She won't give up that easily — she hates to lose."
Their eyes met for just a moment. That fraction of a second, combined with Jessyka's physical and mental exhaustion, reignited the flame in her heart. Jessyka was filled with determination.
Jessyka's speed increased.
"President, I think you're in trouble."
"What? Whaaat?!" Guina turned and saw Jessyka closing in fast.
"Yeah, looks like my joke went too far. Time to end this. Lucky we're close to our destination."
Guina abruptly turned the corner, nearly bumping into a student, and quickly entered a room. Jessyka followed right behind.
"Now… you're… not… getting… away… from me… you damn blonde…" Jessyka gasped, resting her hands on her knees.
Guina gently set Sekai down and smiled.
"Thanks," Sekai said, still blushing.
Guina snapped open a fan she'd pulled from her pocket and raised it dramatically.
"Welcome to the Student Council! Woo-hoo!" she cheered.
Sekai and Jessyka exchanged confused glances.
"I'm impressed, Miss Jessyka. You're quite athletic," Guina said, stepping closer.
"I don't want your compliments! I want to smash your face for touching my Sekai and making him smell like your awful perfume!" Jessyka shouted.
"Oh, that? Actually… I lied."
"Huh?!" Jessyka blinked in disbelief.
"I only saw him briefly in the hallway. A girl fainted from the heat, and he helped carry her to the infirmary. We barely talked."
"I told you, Jessy! I didn't even touch the president. The scent must be from the girl I helped," Sekai said calmly.
"Besides," Guina added, holding her closed fan near her left cheek, smiling and giving a seductive wink to Jessyka, "I don't even wear perfume."
"But you smell so good…" Sekai muttered under his breath, blushing.
"So you kidnapped my Sekai for nothing?!" Jessyka yelled.
"Not for nothing! I thought it would be fun to play a little with you two and, at the same time, show you the student council, Jessy!" Guina said cheerfully.
"Don't call me that! Only Sekai can call me Jessy!" shouted Jessyka furiously.
"Haha, scary~ Anyway, you two haven't eaten yet, right? Let's talk over lunch. Jim, set the table, please."
"Of course, Miss Guina."
A tall, slim, handsome boy with light hair appeared and began setting up a beautifully arranged table with several dishes.
Guina walked up to Jessyka, stood right in front of her, and leaned in close to her face.
"So, little flower… shall we eat?"
Jessyka spat toward her again — but this time, Guina blocked it with her fan.
"I hate you." Jessyka said, looking deeply into Guina's eyes.
"Hehe~" Guina chuckled, turned gracefully, and walked toward her seat at the table.
