The scene before me was so heartwarming, so touching, that I couldn't help but cherish and preserve all this beautiful moment.

It was just a gift, yet it was enough to make Kaguya laugh so heartily, even to the point of doing things that were contrary to her usual behavior. Although they didn't know what the gift that Natsuhiko had promised Kaguya was, anything that could make Kaguya so happy must be extraordinary.
Chika quietly moved to the side, but no one around her noticed her actions, as their attention was entirely focused on Kaguya and Natsuhiko.
Because Kaguya and Natsuhiko are now so close, so close that everyone can't help but feel incredibly excited, as if this happy thing is happening to them.
Chika felt a slight difference from the scene before him, but he wasn't surprised; he just couldn't help wanting to preserve the beauty of this moment.
She walked over and gently touched Shuoye's arm, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"How about it? Seeing this scene, aren't you shocked? Tell me your thoughts now, are you particularly envious?"
Everyone was unable to suppress the feeling of surprise in their hearts.
Shuo was no exception, of course.
After feeling Chika's touch, Sakuya quickly lowered his head. Chika had just touched him, and now even his eyes showed a hint of surprise, not only because of Kaguya and Natsuhiko, but also because of Chika.
He looked at Chika, wanting to ask her why Natsuhiko and Kaguya had become so close, even their relationship seemed to have grown much closer. He had so many questions he wanted to ask Chika, but he didn't know where to begin.
He knew that Chika probably couldn't give him the answer he wanted either, so he chose to keep quiet. He knew Chika's personality perfectly well, just like Kaguya-sama. Although it wasn't obvious on the surface, Chika and Kaguya were actually the same in their hearts, and Chika might even be more stubborn than Kaguya. He didn't know what to do, but he wanted to persevere and eventually become like Natsuhiko.
Yes, he is extremely envious now, but there's nothing he can do about it. He doesn't even know what to say.
What is happening between Kaguya and Natsuhiko now was something that would never have happened before, and was even unimaginable...
After all, this was truly the first time he had seen Xia Yan and Kaguya so close.
Previously, Xia Yan and Kaguya would always avoid each other, as if they didn't see each other. But when they did clash, it was like a collision of planets, a fierce and irreconcilable battle. Even though they weren't enemies and didn't have any deep-seated hatred, they would still argue constantly over trivial matters at work.
But now that I think about it, it's true that fighting is a sign of affection and scolding is a sign of love. The two of us really did become friends through fighting, which is why we've ended up like this today.
You could say it was fate. Everyone smiled knowingly. Kaguya looked at Natsuhiko and asked, "Have you eaten? I'm a little hungry. Shall we go out and get something to eat?"
Xia Yan nodded and looked at everyone: "Do you want me to bring you back some food?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison and said, "No, no, thank you Xia Yan and Miss, we've already eaten."
Xia Yan looked at them speechlessly. This was clearly creating an opportunity for them, and he couldn't let them down.

"I don't know why they're so close. You should ask them. I'm also wondering why they're like this. I was just about to ask you if you knew anything about it."
Chika shook her head helplessly, indicating that she didn't know what was going on with those two people, let alone what their intimate behavior was all about.
"Then why did you touch me just now? I thought you knew something and that's why you touched me a few times to tell me the secret."
Sakuya said to Chika, adding that he thought Chika knew something and that's why he touched him a few times on purpose. Now that Chika said she didn't know anything, he was very disappointed.
"Can't I even touch you a few times for no reason? Does touching you mean I have to know something? I'm not a spy or intelligence agent, I'm not as powerful as you think, and intelligence doesn't just come out of thin air."
Chika was quite helpless in front of Sakuya, and didn't know what to say for a while. So she told Sakuya that she was not an intelligence agent or anything like that, and that intelligence could not possibly reach her so quickly.
"Oh well, I don't have time to talk to you about these things. It's their business, and it doesn't really concern us. Let's not meddle in other people's business."
Sakuya said to Chika, but then he looked in the direction of Kaguya and Natsumi, only to see that the two of them were still behaving intimately. This made Sakuya purse his lips, expressing his helplessness.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what's going on between those two? Why isn't this going on and on? I bet there's some unspeakable secret involved. Otherwise, what do you think is going on?"
Chika nudged Sakuya with her elbow, indicating that there must be some secret they were keeping from each other, and asked Sakuya if he was interested in knowing their secret.
"How boring. Whatever happens, it's their business and has nothing to do with us. We shouldn't meddle. And don't be so curious. Haven't you heard the saying 'curiosity killed the cat'?"
It's best not to think about things that shouldn't be considered.
Sakuya teased Chika and said something to her. Chika and Sakuya both shook their heads helplessly as they looked at Natsuhiko and Kaguya, and both of them sighed at the same time.
“Look at that person, he looks a little familiar,” Chika said to Sakuya, pointing to a person walking towards them.
"He looks familiar, and that person seems to be heading in the 380 direction where we are now. Could he be looking for us?"
People who come to them generally have two characteristics: they're either seeking love or revenge, and this one is clearly one of them...
"Won't he be scared when he sees Xia Yan and Kaguya acting like that...?"
However, before Chika could finish speaking, the person walked up to the two of them, and only then did they realize that the person in front of them was Shirogane Miyuki.
Miyuki Shirogane had some business to attend to, so he came to the sports field. When he saw them all there, he wanted to come over and say hello, but unexpectedly, he saw something he shouldn't have seen...
Chapter 74 Scenes You Shouldn't Have Seen
Scenes that shouldn't be seen
Shirogane Miyuki was taken aback by the intimate behavior of the two, and not understanding what was going on, he looked at everyone with great confusion.
"Am I arriving at the wrong time? It seems I'm disturbing you."
Shirogane Miyuki looked at Kaguya and Natsuhiko and said something to them. Kaguya and Natsuhiko immediately blushed, while Shirogane Miyuki felt quite helpless.
"What exactly is going on between you two? What was going on with your behavior just now? Can either of you tell me?"
Shirogane Miyuki was shocked to see the two behaving intimately and was completely bewildered by what he was seeing. He wanted someone who knew what was going on to explain it to him so that he could find some peace of mind.
"Why is everyone so quiet? Can't anyone tell me what's going on?"
Miyuki Shirogane pressed on, as he was very concerned about Kaguya's situation and did not want her to have any intimate interactions with anyone. He was mainly afraid that Kaguya might fall for someone else and distance herself from him, which would make him very sad.
Kaguya and Natsuhiko said they had nothing to say to each other, and of course, they didn't have any special relationship. So they told Shirogane Miyuki not to worry too much about their relationship. After saying that, they left together. Shirogane Miyuki also expressed his sadness and helplessness, and his face showed a sad expression.
"I care about her so much, why is she getting so close to other people? Is she trying to hurt me on purpose? No, that can't be it. I don't believe she would do such a thing."
Miyuki Shirogane's emotions were clearly a little off. Sakuya and Chika, who were standing nearby, could also see that Miyuki Shirogane cared a lot about Kaguya. Kaguya and Natsuhiko getting so close this time must have shaken Miyuki Shirogane's heart, otherwise he wouldn't have shown such sadness.
At this moment, Shirogane Miyuki saw Chika by his side, so he asked Chika for some advice on how to make Kaguya dislike other people and how to make Kaguya continue to have feelings for him. This was a question he had always been very concerned about.
Seeing Shirogane Miyuki's current state, Chika understood that Shirogane Miyuki truly loved Kaguya, and that the scene just now had been a huge blow to him. So it was normal that Shirogane Miyuki couldn't accept it for a while. But now that Shirogane Miyuki was seeking comfort from her, she didn't know what to say to comfort him.
Helpless, Chika said some things to "comfort" Shirogane Miyuki, which made him think of all sorts of things. Saku, who was standing next to her, heard Chika say these things and hurriedly pulled her aside, scolding her loudly, asking if she was crazy. She said that she was using such words to provoke Shirogane Miyuki when he was so sad. What was she thinking?
At this moment, Sakuya also felt that there was something wrong with Chika's thinking, or rather, Chika was also influenced. Otherwise, why would she deliberately provoke Shirogane Miyuki? Sakuya had never been able to understand Chika's purpose and motivation for doing so.

吃醋
After thinking for a moment, Shirogane Miyuki calmed down. The secretary wasn't a reckless person and wouldn't say such things easily. There might be another reason behind this. How could Shinomiya Kaguya take a liking to someone of such... low status?
He took a deep breath, preparing to look away, but still felt uneasy, especially since the two of them looked so conspicuous. He subtly adopted a nonchalant expression and walked towards them.
Xia Yan was a little confused when he saw Shirogane Miyuki approaching. When did he offend this student council president? And why was the person next to him suddenly being so obsequious... As a nobody, he was quite flustered.
To Shirogane Kaguya, Shirogane's supposedly calm expression was undeniably gloomy. She felt a surge of smugness, and without even glancing at the man beside her, cleared her throat and flashed a beautiful smile. "So, what brings you here?"
"It's nothing... I was just a little surprised to see you walking with someone like that." Shirogane Miyuki seemed a little embarrassed, turning his head away, unwilling to meet Shinomiya Kaguya's gaze. Asking like that... was so embarrassing.
What kind of guy is this?! Hey! Xia Yan, who had been listening in the whole time, was somewhat dissatisfied. This guy is completely arrogant... But he has the right to be arrogant. After all, someone as insignificant as himself, if he weren't around Kaguya Shinomiya, would indeed be ignored. He really dared not speak out against him.
"Tch, so what if it's a guy like that?" Kaguya Shinomiya seemed to have no intention of defending the nickname, so she called him here... just to humiliate him? "Who I associate with is none of your business..."
However, Xia Yan noticed that Shirogane Miyuki's ears seemed a little red. Perhaps there was some gossip...? But what if he heard this gossip and got silenced? Although he was terrified, Xia Yan stayed. Firstly, he was genuinely curious, and secondly, leaving now... would probably offend Kaguya Shinomiya. He couldn't bear that responsibility.
"Of course I'll care. You being with someone like that...it might...it might damage the family's reputation, right?" Shirogane Miyuki hesitated for a moment. He glared at Xia Yan. This guy has some sense; he should be making a run for it now! How could Shinomiya Kaguya possibly be interested in someone with that kind of intelligence! "Or...am I misunderstanding something?"
Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Natsuhiko, who stood there dumbfounded, and felt a little annoyed. This guy was too stupid. If she wanted to anger Miyuki Shirogane, why did she pick someone like this? But it was too late now, and she couldn't let him lose!
"You don't need to worry about the family's reputation," she said. "You see... my interpersonal relationships need to be regulated by my parents. It would be embarrassing if outsiders found out. As for what you've misunderstood, I have no idea what you're thinking. Do whatever you think is fine, whatever makes you happy."
With that, Shirogane Miyuki took Natsuhiko's arm and started to leave. Natsuhiko hadn't understood what was going on at all. What was this young lady up to...? Was she trying to pick a fight with Shirogane Miyuki? Sigh, it seemed the student council president was jealous. No one expected her to be so cute when she was jealous.
Chapter Seventy-Six Duel
Meanwhile, Fujiwara Chika, watching secretly from the side, couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed her words had worked. Perhaps this long-delayed matter was about to be resolved? She'd have to make them treat her to a meal then.
Shuo watched all of this unfold with a bewildered expression. As the two exchanged insults, the situation grew increasingly tense. Xia Yan stood by, equally confused, while Fujiwara Chika was even smirking! Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, it felt like something terrible was about to happen!
"Hey, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid the president might do something outrageous after what you just said?" He couldn't help but shake Chika. This would make things very difficult.
"You have to trust the personal qualities of President Shirogane and Kaguya, given their backgrounds," Chika said with a smile. "Don't shake me, don't shake me. They wouldn't do anything outrageous. As for me, I'm just going with the flow. These two will absolutely not fight."
She had barely finished speaking when Shirogane Miyuki moved. He raised his hand, not touching Shinomiya Kaguya, but stopping Xia Yan. Xia Yan was startled and dared not move. What did this young master intend to do? Was his personal safety still guaranteed?
We don't know, and we dare not ask. Kaguya Shinomiya really wanted Natsuhiko to speak up and provoke Miyuki Shirogane again, but the guy was too cowardly and didn't dare to breathe. So Kaguya had to speak up again.
"What? This person and I have other matters to attend to, and we have somewhere else to go. If the president doesn't have anything else to do, it would be best if you could make way here." Her tone was forceful, but her words left no room for argument, which only fueled Shirogane's anger. Coupled with what Fujiwara Chika had just said, which added fuel to the fire in his mind, he finally made up his mind and made this decision.
"Sir, I challenge you to a duel!" He spoke so loudly out of nervousness that it startled everyone. For a moment, no one uttered a sound, as if caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events.
Shuo was the first to react. "Qianhua! Qianhua! Qianhua! They're going to duel! What's going on? Didn't you say he wouldn't do anything rash?" Now even Xia Yan's personal safety is threatened! No matter who wins, there will be no way to clean up the mess in the end.

Xia Yan was completely dumbfounded. Wow, holding the goddess's hand has to come at a bloody price?! Oh my god, oh my god, President, I was wrong, I'll never do it again! I'm leaving the goddess a thousand miles away right now, please let me go! I really can't beat you!
What on earth does this guy mean?! Kaguya Shinomiya gritted her teeth. He clearly didn't want to confess, yet he caused such an ugly scene… This guy has made her lose face! Caught between a rock and a hard place, she glanced at Xia Yan, who clearly looked terrified. If this blew up, how could she, Kaguya Shinomiya, associate with such a commoner? Her reputation would be ruined! But this guy is actually willing to duel for her…?
... ........ .......
Shirogane Miyuki also noticed this glance. What... is this... anticipation? What is he in her eyes? He regretted shouting those words, but seeing this scene, he immediately became more determined.
Fujiwara Chika, however, remained relaxed. "Hey, don't get excited, don't get excited, it's not time to get really worked up yet... things aren't what you think," she said cheerfully. "I'm kind of looking forward to it."
Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Clash of Strength
"Isn't a duel too extreme?! Have you been hoping for bloodshed all along?!" Saku exclaimed anxiously. "Alright, watch me." With that, Chika swayed and strolled over leisurely, as if trying to get out of a predicament.
"Mr. Shirogane is going to duel with Natsuhiko-kun!" she said excitedly. "I don't think I've ever seen that before! So the president actually thinks that besides Kaguya, there's anyone else qualified to have an intellectual quiz with you?"
Huh?! It's a quiz show? Xia Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Oh well… I thought I was going to die here today. But he's no match for Shirogane Miyuki in a quiz show. If he rashly agreed, he'd be laughed at for overestimating himself, right?
Even this small gesture wasn't missed by Kaguya Shinomiya. She was instantly furious. "Say yes," she whispered. Otherwise, his loss of face was nothing compared to hers!
"Okay...okay, I promise you." Whoa!!! The guild leader's face darkened several shades. But if he didn't agree, and even Kaguya-sensei didn't back him up, he'd probably really die right here today! So why did Kaguya-sensei bring him out here to save face?! He's so embarrassing!
