Chapter 283: Kaguya: I Might Be Pregnant!
In the student council room, there were only two people at the moment.
"Shinomiya-san, why did you suddenly call me here?" Kashiwagi Nagisa sat on the sofa, looking at Shinomiya Kaguya opposite her.
Calling me here on the very first day of the new term—there must be something very important to discuss, right?
Could it be that Shinomiya-san already has someone she likes? After all, what else would two girls talk about if not this? Who is the person? President Shirogane?
"Kashiwagi-san, tell me…" Shinomiya Kaguya chose her words carefully: "Do you think there's some kind of illness that makes your heart beat faster?"
"Lately my heart's been beating really fast, maybe I've caught some strange disease."
(⸝⸝⸝-﹏-⸝⸝⸝)
Even without meeting that person, just thinking about him made her heart race. How odd!
"Heart beating fast, huh, let me think." Kashiwagi Nagisa recalled: "Heart disease maybe? Being overly anxious or under heavy pressure can also cause a fast heartbeat, and there's also pregnancy. A pregnant woman needs to supply blood to the uterus, so her heart beats faster."
Kaguya: ∘ ∘ ∘ (っ º - º ς) ?
Shinomiya Kaguya blinked.
"Pregnant?" she whispered.
This time it was Kashiwagi Nagisa's turn to be shocked: "Eh?"
Nagisa: ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!
What does that mean?
Has Shinomiya-san already done something that could lead to pregnancy?
We're still just high school students! Is it really okay if they didn't use protection? Or does Shinomiya-san not even know? Was she tricked by some scumbag?
"I slept together with him for a night." Shinomiya Kaguya recalled what happened during the New Year holiday.
Could it be that Sakurai-san did something to me while I was asleep?
Without my consent! That's a crime!
"…Are." Kashiwagi Nagisa tilted her head, as if a whirlwind swept through her mind and blew away every thought.
What did Shinomiya-san just say?
She slept with a man? Ah, maybe it was like with some little nephew or something.
"He even held my hand before, and even rubbed my chest." A worried expression appeared on Shinomiya Kaguya's face.
Kaguya: (⸝⸝๑﹏๑⸝⸝)
Nagisa: (ಠ_ಠ)
The order is reversed there, Shinomiya-san.
"Shinomiya-san, do you know the ABCs of love?"
A: Holding hands.B: Kissing.C: Icha-Icha Paradise.
Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head; she had never heard of such a saying.
Kashiwagi Nagisa explained, "Holding hands won't get you pregnant, only step C will."
"Is there really no other way to get pregnant? Aren't there legends about storks delivering babies?" Shinomiya Kaguya began to avoid reality.
"..." At this moment, Kashiwagi Nagisa felt the purity of Shinomiya Kaguya.
A sudden urge to sully her innocence arose in her heart.
Nagisa inside: (≖⩊≖)
"No, there isn't." Kashiwagi Nagisa said, her face turning red.
Talking so bluntly about such topics made her a bit embarrassed.
Shinomiya-san, how can you say things like that so casually? Aren't you a girl? You should be more ladylike! Ladylike!
"Then it must be that he secretly did something while I was asleep."
"...Eh?" Kashiwagi Nagisa was stunned.
While she was asleep?
"He even made me drink sake."
Sweet sake.
Nagisa: ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?
Should I call the police!?
This is clearly a crime!!! The noble Ojou-sama of the Shinomiya family was violated by some strange man!
"But I was the one who initiated it."
She meant she initiated drinking sake.
"You can't really blame him; after all, this lady is quite charming. It's only natural that he would feel desire for me." Shinomiya Kaguya sighed.
It was all because she had been half-asleep in the middle of the night and accidentally wandered into his room.
A string of words from Shinomiya Kaguya made Kashiwagi Nagisa give up on thinking altogether.
She trembled as she grabbed her phone, dialed 110, and put her finger on the call button. "Shinomiya-san, who is that person? I'll call the police to arrest him."
"I—I can't tell you. He already has a girlfriend." Shinomiya Kaguya hurriedly stopped her.
This is chaos! These aristocrats are way too chaotic!! What on earth is happening here!?
Nagisa: (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Shinomiya-san, you might even be pregnant already! And you're still thinking about that scumbag? Have you been Mind-Breaked?
Kashiwagi Nagisa thought for a few seconds, her gaze gradually firming. She had to find that scumbag and make him receive the punishment he deserved.
"Knock knock!"
A sudden knocking sound came from outside the door.
"Saki-chan, are you in there? Eh? Nagisa, why are you here?" Shijo Maki stepped inside.
Originally, she came to show off her score to Sakurai Saki. In the last final exam, she had taken first place, but just as the results came out, the vacation began, and she never got a chance to mock Sakurai Saki.
Before, Sakurai always used his grades to make remarks in front of her, even teasing her with them, which made Shijo Maki unbearably annoyed.
Finally seizing an opportunity, Shijo Maki wanted to get her revenge.
Vengeance will be mine!!
Maki: (▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)
"Oba-sama~ hello."
"That form of address, could you change it a bit?" Shinomiya Kaguya said unhappily.
Kaguya: (¬`‸´¬)
Considering her status, she technically was in the "grandmother" generation to Maki, but being called that was truly uncomfortable.
"Then shall I switch to English and call you 'Grandma' instead?" Shijo Maki showed no hesitation in her teasing.
"Actually, I'd like to get along well with Maki-san," Kaguya said in a wistful tone.
That was clearly a lie!
"Eh...If Shinomiya-san wants to be friends with me… I… I guess it's not impossible." Shijo Maki replied shyly.
Maki: (,,¬﹏¬,,)
Kashiwagi Nagisa watched their interaction and smiled knowingly.
How nice—friendship between girls really is wonderful.
"What is it, Nagisa, why are you looking at me like that?" Shijo Maki glanced at her close friend.
"It's nothing, I just feel it's really great that Shinomiya-san can become friends with Maki."
"Hmph." Shijo Maki turned her head away with a huff.
Classic tsundere, almost excessively so.
"Ah, by the way Maki, Shinomiya-san just happened to have something troubling she wanted to discuss." Nagisa shifted the topic back to a few minutes earlier.
"Something troubling? Love advice?"
Shijo Maki loved giving love advice. Seeing someone else's happy romance felt like she could experience the beauty of love herself… Just kidding! All these Riajuu can go die!
She had learned from Ishigami Yuu the "Shine-Shine-Beam," a special move for breaking up couples, which she picked up during the cultural festival.
Maki: (∩｀-´)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ( ˶˘ ³˘(ˊᗜˋ*)!♡
"No, it's… um, it's better if Shinomiya-san explains it herself."
Shinomiya Kaguya recounted everything from earlier.
"Heart racing? Isn't that just liking someone? What does that have to do with pregnancy?" Shijo Maki didn't know much about that kind of knowledge.
But she did know that after liking someone, your heart beats much faster.
"L-… Like?!" Shinomiya Kaguya shouted, blushing.
"No way! Absolutely no way! Me, liking someone?!"
Kaguya: ┻━┻ ︵ヽ( //>///
Such a strong reaction. The other two girls thought the same thing at once.
Isn't that basically admitting "I like some boy"?
Shinomiya Kaguya really couldn't hide a secret at all.
"I am the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, the clan known as the very heart of cold indifference!! How could I possibly like anyone?"
And moreover—it's my best friend's boyfriend!
"If you won't admit it, then try this. There's a very simple trick," Shijo Maki said in a dark tone.
"What is it?"
"The method of looking straight into the eyes." Shijo Maki spoke mysteriously.
"Eyes can convey love. There's research showing that if a man and a woman have feelings for each other, just looking into each other's eyes for ten seconds will create the desire to kiss."
Shinomiya Kaguya looked as if she had been enlightened.
Meanwhile, Kashiwagi Nagisa sat silently beside them.
The target is that pervert who once groped Shinomiya-san's chest and forced her to drink sake—is this really okay?
