Fujiwara Chika covered her nose, but a little bit of blood still trickled out.
Uchiha Ryo: "Why is your nose bleeding, Fujiwara-san? Are you feeling feverish?"
Fujiwara Chika subconsciously took a step back, then turned her head and ran towards the restroom.
"How strange...."
Uchiha Ryo turned his head to look at Yukinoshita. "So Yukino-san came too."
Yukinoshita gave Uchiha Ryo a meaningful look. "Mhm.... I didn't expect you to have such hobbies."
"Huh?"
Herthaka chuckled. "Ladies and Young Master, please enjoy yourselves. If there's anything you'd like for dinner, please let me know right away. I will instruct the chef to prepare it."
As Herthaka exited the room, Fujiwara Chika also walked out of the restroom with a slight blush on her face, then plopped down next to Uchiha Ryo.
"It's okay! Everyone has their own hobbies~ From now on, it's not impossible for us to call each other sisters?!"
Uchiha Ryo: "???"
What are you talking about? Please turn on your microphone and communicate! All you riddle-speakers can get out of my stream.
As the one who knew everything, Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but admire Hayasaka Ai's move in her heart. Although she wasn't sure if Fujiwara-san and Yukinoshita-san were a threat, as long as they thought Uchiha liked men!
Hehe~ In that case, the two of them are already out of the game. And with Hayasaka already dressed as a man, this sleepover is the stage for my capture of Uchiha Ryo!
Shinomiya Kaguya began to think about what to do next to attract Uchiha Ryo's attention and make him fall in love with her at first sight.
Yukinoshita: "So, what are we supposed to do at a sleepover? I'm sorry, this is my first time staying over at a classmate's house."
On this question, Shinomiya Kaguya also looked at Fujiwara Chika with curiosity. No matter the time, this pink-haired girl was always the best catalyst for the atmosphere.
Fujiwara Chika: "Hmph, hmph, hmph! When it comes to sleepovers, of course we get together and play board games!"
Uchiha Ryo: "A little boring.... I don't really want to play."
Fujiwara Chika was taken aback. She pouted and glared at Uchiha Ryo, then continued.
"Then we can't do without a musical atmosphere. Does Kaguya's house have karaoke equipment? We can sing together!"
Yukinoshita Yukino: "Sorry, I don't really want to sing."
Fujiwara Chika was a little hurt, but she quickly returned to normal and proposed again.
"Speaking of which, it's almost summer, right? Should we go play in Kaguya's private swimming pool! We can even play water volleyball~"
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "I second this proposal!"
Yukinoshita Yukino frowned. "But I didn't bring a swimsuit."
Uchiha Ryo: "Don't worry, Yukino-san. Your measurements are about the same as Shinomiya-san's. You can just borrow from her."
Two pairs of girlish eyes glared over at the same time. Just as Shinomiya Kaguya was about to speak, Fujiwara Chika said happily.
"That's right, that's right! Yukino can just borrow a set from Kaguya. Let's go swimming!"
Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly thought of something. If they went to the swimming pool... wouldn't she have a chance to mesmerize that guy Uchiha Ryo with her swimsuit look?!
She turned her head to look at Yukinoshita. Mhm! We're about the same. Although I admit that Yukinoshita-san is no less beautiful than me, I possess a gentleness that Yukinoshita does not!
Shinomiya Kaguya then looked at Fujiwara Chika on the other side. Mmm.... what on earth is that?! Was Fujiwara-san always such a terrifying existence! This is practically a chariot that destroys male sanity!
Uchiha Ryo stroked his chin. "Oho, two Peashooters and a Melon-pult."
Shinomiya Kaguya: "I'm sorry, but my family's private swimming pool seems to be under maintenance. We can't go swimming today."
Fujiwara Chika's third proposal was rejected again. She sat down, completely deflated.
"Then what else can we do.... A pajama party? That's an activity for before bed, right?"
Uchiha Ryo: "I suggest we start the pajama party early!!"
Yukinoshita / Shinomiya: "Suggestion rejected!" x2
After a moment of silence, it was again Fujiwara Chika who put forward her opinion. "How about we all cook something!"
"Cook?"
Fujiwara Chika stood up again and stood in the middle of the group. "That's right, cooking. Although the skill of Kaguya's family chef is definitely top-notch, for a rare sleepover with classmates, we should cook our own food and then taste each other's."
Yukinoshita Yukino had no objection. Shinomiya Kaguya also thought of another capture method.
That's right. The book said that to capture a person's heart, you must first capture their stomach. If Uchiha Ryo tasted her top-tier cooking, he would definitely fall in love at first sight!
"Mhm, I think what Fujiwara says makes sense. Then let's go prepare and head to the kitchen."
Uchiha Ryo didn't speak. Compared to cooking, he was still more hopeful for swimsuits and pajamas....
Shinomiya Family Kitchen—
Fujiwara Chika led everyone into the kitchen. Shinomiya Kaguya then had Hayasaka prepare the ingredients they would need.
Fujiwara Chika: "Everyone, since Shuchiin will be having a cooking practice class next semester anyway, why don't we practice in advance~"
The prestigious Shuchiin Academy did indeed have many home economics classes, among which cooking practice was an important extracurricular class held almost every week.
Fujiwara Chika spoke with great confidence. In fact, she had never cooked in her life and was just having a sudden whim to try her hand at it.
The butler Herthaka stood at the kitchen door and suddenly said.
"Although the young ladies are very eager to cook their own ingredients, we are actually already preparing your dinner. So, I would ask that you all prepare non-main course dishes."
Yukinoshita nodded. "So we don't need to make main dishes, soups, or meat dishes.... Then how about we make desserts?"
Fujiwara Chika raised her hand in agreement. "Yes, yes! I want to eat dessert. Then what should I make? Cake or cookies?"
Shinomiya Kaguya suggested, "Let's each make a dessert that we like. Herthaka will take care of the ingredients."
Uchiha Ryo: "Very good. Then I'll be in charge of supervising you all, and the final taste test."
Fujiwara Chika was a little embarrassed. We're all making our own? But I've never made dessert before!
"Kaguya~ what are you making? Can I learn to make one too?!"
Shinomiya Kaguya had already prepared the ingredients. "I'm planning to make cookies. If you want to make them, you can have Herthaka teach you."
As expected of the all-purpose butler! Fujiwara Chika rolled up her sleeves and then called Herthaka over.
"Mmm... although I've never made dessert before, you can leave it to me with confidence! Butler-kun, I'll be counting on you to teach me!"
It seemed he could eat one less dessert. Uchiha Ryo turned his gaze to the other two. No... to prevent Fujiwara Chika from blowing up the kitchen, he should probably keep an eye on her.
On the other side, Shinomiya Kaguya turned to look at Yukinoshita.
"Your technique is very skilled, Yukinoshita-san. Do you practice cooking often?"
Yukinoshita: "Indeed, I do. I've been looking forward to living independently from my family since I was very young, so I've been practicing my housekeeping skills."
Shinomiya Kaguya became even more serious. It seemed that even in simple dessert-making, she had met a rival!
And on the other side, the butler Herthaka was teaching Fujiwara Chika how to make cookies.
Butler Herthaka: "Miss Fujiwara, don't stir the batter so forcefully. Mhm... and then...."
Fujiwara Chika showed a confident smile. "I know what's next. It's to add white sugar, right? I like sweet things, so I'll just add a little more!"
Butler Herthaka: "Stop, Miss Fujiwara! That's salt!!"
