Chapter 270: Flat Princess Kaguya
Lunch break, inside the student council room.
･°˖✧٩(^ᗜ^ )و ✧˖°.
"What's everyone eating?"
Fujiwara Chika carried her bento, plus a cup of bubble milk tea, and walked in.
"Bubble milk tea?"
"That's right, that's right. I bought it from the vending machine, it's still piping hot." Secretary Fujiwara showed the cup of tea to Shinomiya Kaguya.
This noon, aside from Ishigami Yuu, all the other members were present.
Iino Miko looked at the cup of milk tea, swallowing her saliva.
'I'll go buy a cup later.'
"Kaguya-san, you've never had it before?"
"I have." Shinomiya Kaguya picked vegetables from her bento, glancing a few times, "I remember Secretary Fujiwara, you always call yourself a low-calorie girl, don't you?"
"Every week I go cycling for exercise, and on weekends I even take Pes for a walk in Yoyogi Park!" Fujiwara Chika boasted proudly, only lacking putting her hands on her hips.
Chika: ( ๑‾̀◡‾́)✧
She had already mentioned this many times.
Pes was the dog she raised.
"Secretary Fujiwara, do you know? The pearls in bubble milk tea are starch mixed with caramel, it's liquid calories, one cup has more calories than a bowl of ramen." Shinomiya Kaguya swallowed down her vegetables.
If you really want low calories, this kind of thing definitely can't be drunk.
"…It should be fine." Fujiwara Chika's eyes dodged, her voice uncertain: "Look, the tea is so hot, the calories must have all evaporated."
"Besides, it doesn't have a nutrition label. No label means 0 calories… right? Umu, definitely!"
She was already beginning to deceive herself.
Chika, you could start spinning in circles right now, a drink that comes with a "round feature" will definitely make you slim to death.
"Saki-kun, here… here, you drink this." Fujiwara Chika unwillingly handed the cup to Sakurai Saki.
Sakurai Saki took the cup, didn't put the straw in, and handed it to Miko-chan.
"Miko-chan, do you want it? I don't feel like drinking right now."
"Can I?"
"Iino-san, you usually don't exercise much, do you? If you drink a lot of things like this you'll get fat." Shinomiya Kaguya reminded.
From her observation, Iino Miko usually already ate a lot, just look at her bento—compared to everyone else's, hers was clearly bigger.
What Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't understand the most was, Iino Miko ate like this every day, yet she didn't gain any weight? Was that reasonable?
Energy doesn't disappear; no matter if the drink is hot or cold, the calories don't change.
Iino Miko was like a black hole, crazily sucking in piles of energy, yet her body never changed one bit. Truly terrifying.
"Sakurai-senpai, I won't drink it." Miko-chan said a little disappointedly.
"If you gain weight, I'll work out with you. Besides, it's just one cup of milk tea, it's fine." Sakurai Saki set the milk tea on the table.
"There it is, there it is." Shinomiya Kaguya exaggerated her voice: "Just—'it's fine,' the classic line. Hope Sakurai-san doesn't regret it when he gets fat like a balloon later."
"Kaguya-san, teenager in their growing years should eat more, it's good for them." Sakurai Saki rudely glanced toward Shinomiya Kaguya's 'tablet.'
Sakurai: (≖⌣≖)
Kaguya: ʰᵘʰ (ꐦ○_○）✧
"..." Ojou-sama Kaguya hugged her chest, her face full of disbelief: "You dare attack a girl's body, are you even a man?"
"When did I say that?"
"You always badmouth me, aside from this, what other possibility is there?"
"Kaguya-san, I've always admired one of your strengths. That is, you have great self-awareness." The corner of Sakurai Saki's mouth curved, revealing a mocking smile.
He emphasized each word, calmly saying: "Flat Princess."
"Who are you calling Flat Princess?!" Shinomiya Kaguya shouted angrily.
Kaguya: ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻
The two started arguing once again.
Iino Miko glanced at Shinomiya Kaguya, then at Sakurai Saki.
A few seconds later.
She picked up the cup of bubble milk tea, and took a small sip.
'So tasty~.'
Miko: (っ˘ڡ˘ς)
Secretary Fujiwara – the one who started this quarrel – only sat watching the two arguing. Then she quietly moved to the side and began eating lunch.
She opened her bento, then looked at Miko-chan.
"Miko-chan~ want to eat?"
"No need."
"But I can't finish it, I cooked a bit too much today." Fujiwara Chika explained.
... That was a lie!
Chika suddenly realized, if she kept eating like this, she would get fat into 'CHIKA'! Absolutely not! Such an ending, she could not accept!
A person who eats ramen three times a week, drinks three cups of bubble tea, three meals a day without a single one being light. Now she started to worry.
"Haa. No way, arguing with you is completely useless." Shinomiya Kaguya realized, arguing with this kind of thick-skinned man was no different from playing music to a cow, utterly pointless.
"I've found a way to stay happy for a long time, that is to argue less with people who are not intelligent. Just answering 'you're right' can solve most problems."
"Hmph, then how do you determine whether the person you're arguing with is truly intelligent or not?"
"You're right." Sakurai Saki said with a smile.
Sakurai: (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)
Kaguya: ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?
Kaguya one second later: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
A second later Shinomiya Kaguya reacted, this was clearly calling her stupid.
"You're right."
She turned into a mimic machine.
Shinomiya Kaguya silently made up her mind, for tomorrow's Christmas gift, she must choose something that Sakurai Saki absolutely wouldn't like to give him!
If she remembered correctly, Sakurai Saki hated sweets!
Tonight after school, when going shopping, she could ask everyone which kind of sweet was the most cloying.
"Miko-chan~ a~" Fujiwara Chika picked up a piece of beef.
The glossy fat on the meat was shining.
"Ah." Iino Miko opened her mouth and bit the piece of meat.
Though she was a little worried about her weight, this was something Fujiwara-senpai couldn't finish, not eating it would be wasteful.
'Well then, I'll reluctantly eat it for her!' Miko reluctantly thought so.
Miko: ♡(๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)
...
After school, Sakurai Saki arrived at the entrance of the LOFT shopping mall in Ginza.
He had arranged to meet Ishigami Yuu here.
On the last day before Christmas Eve, under the huge Christmas tree at the square in front of the shopping mall, quite a few couples were taking photos.
Why did he have to stroll around with some guy at a time like this?
Really incomprehensible.
"Sakurai-senpai, good evening."
Winter nights fell very quickly, clearly it wasn't even 7 yet but the sky was already completely dark.
"Good evening."
The two didn't exchange polite courtesies, but went straight to the subject, entering the shopping mall.
This was a department store, basically anything could be found.
"Sakurai-senpai agreed so quickly, it's also to buy gifts?"
"Umu, planning to buy a gift for Chika."
"Fujiwara-senpai huh, totally can't guess what she'd want." Ishigami Yuu thought for a while, had no clue, but fortunately, he didn't need to prepare a gift for Fujiwara Chika, nor did he need to attend her Christmas party.
"A Moai statue from Easter Island, what do you think?"
Ishigami Yuu was just about to object, but after seriously thinking for a few seconds, he found this answer very reasonable.
"Fujiwara-senpai will definitely like it!"
"I think so too."
