After school, Tanaka Masao returned home with Yukinoshita Yukino and received a message on his phone.
Fujiwara Chika: "What is Junior Tanaka doing?"
Seeing the message, Tanaka Masao replied.
"Fujiwara-senpai, let's not contact each other anymore."
"Huh? Junior Tanaka, why are you tired of your senpai so quickly?"
"Because I need to review, and I'm afraid my homework will misunderstand."
"Hmph, really. What's there for homework to misunderstand? Junior Tanaka, if you need to review, just say so."
"Hehe, this way it makes it seem like I'm taking my review more seriously."
"You naughty junior, you just like playing with my feelings."
"Fujiwara-senpai, saying that might lead to misunderstandings."
"Misunderstandings? What misunderstandings? I'm clearly stating facts. Junior Tanaka, could it be that you're all talk and no action?"
"Fujiwara-senpai, I was wrong. Please don't continue."
"It's good that you know your mistake. Don't tease me again in the future. Since Junior Tanaka admits his mistake, I've decided to give you a reward."
"A reward? What is it?"
Tanaka Masao looked at the text on the screen, thinking, "Could it be a selfie from her?"
Tanaka Masao, with such a thought, was destined to be disappointed. After all, Fujiwara Chika, though appearing cheerful, was actually a rather innocent girl.
"Let me help you review. You can ask me anything you don't understand."
"Thank you for your kindness, Fujiwara-senpai, but no need."
"Why? Isn't Junior Tanaka reviewing?"
"Not at all. I'm reviewing with a friend, and I can ask them if I don't understand something."
"Is that person better than me? Let me tell you, my grades are really good, senpai."
"We have the first in grade."
Looking at the text Tanaka Masao sent, Fujiwara Chika pouted unhappily.
"It's just the first in grade, what's so great about that?"
She was a bit unconvinced and typed.
"Then Junior Tanaka, you should review well. I need to review too."
"Fujiwara-senpai, study hard."
After their chat, Fujiwara Chika became angrier the more she thought about it.
"first in grade, will they definitely be better than me? No, I must make Junior Tanaka realize how wrong his choice today was and make him regret it."
...
Meanwhile, the other three members of the student council had noticed Fujiwara Chika when she was chatting on her phone.
Because Fujiwara Chika's emotional changes were quite obvious, it was hard not to attract the attention of others.
Shirogane Miyuki pinched his chin, frowning.
"Although Fujiwara's emotions are usually quite changeable, why are her emotions changing so drastically today? Did something happen?"
Ishigami Yu analyzed from the side.
"Looking at Fujiwara-senpai, she's looking at her phone and typing, so she must be chatting with someone.
Coupled with her emotional fluctuations, if I'm not mistaken,
Fujiwara-senpai must be in an online relationship."
"Online relationship!"
Shirogane Miyuki exclaimed.
Realizing his gaffe, he quickly covered his mouth and looked at Fujiwara Chika very warily.
Finding that she was engrossed in her phone chat and hadn't noticed him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He whispered,
"Ishigami, are you sure?"
"Based on my experience, I'm eighty percent sure."
Ishigami Yu looked confident.
Shirogane Miyuki was a bit surprised.
"Ishigami, you have a lot of experience?"
"I learned it from playing games."
"Is that it!"
Shirogane Miyuki wanted to say what use that was, but considering that games are also based on reality.
And he also felt that Fujiwara Chika was different when she was chatting than usual.
"I think what you said makes some sense."
Ishigami Yu showed an expression that said, "Trust me, you won't go wrong."
"But is Fujiwara playing such an advanced game?"
Shirogane Miyuki was a bit surprised. While he was still entangled with Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika had already started an online relationship.
He said with some concern,
"I heard that online relationships have risks. Do you think Fujiwara might get scammed?"
Ishigami Yu waved his hand dismissively.
"President, you're overthinking it. Although Fujiwara-senpai usually seems a bit silly, she's not someone who's easily deceived.
Besides, President, don't forget that Fujiwara-senpai still has family. Deceiving her won't end well."
Shirogane Miyuki nodded. Indeed, as Ishigami Yu said, he didn't need to worry.
However, he became interested in this so-called online relationship.
"If I also use this online relationship, can I make Kaguya confess first?"
Although the two spoke softly, Kaguya on the other side pricked up her ears to listen.
"Online relationship? Fujiwara student has already mastered such an advanced dating technique. I need to learn it."
Kaguya quietly sat next to Fujiwara Chika, wanting to see how she was chatting to learn from her.
But as soon as she got next to Fujiwara Chika, she saw her put away her phone, puffing out her cheeks.
And she was saying, "What's so great about being first place?"
Kaguya hadn't even reacted when she saw Fujiwara Chika lean over, grab her hand, and say with a smile,
"Kaguya-douchi, can you help me?"
Kaguya wanted to pull her hand back, but found that Fujiwara Chika's grip was quite strong.
She could only ask helplessly,
"What is it?"
"Can you tutor me? Midterm exams are coming up soon, and there are so many problems I don't understand."
This sentence seemed to touch some taboo, making the atmosphere in the student council a bit somber.
To avoid being seen through, Kaguya and Shirogane Miyuki never studied in the student council; they would return home and study all night.
And the time spent not studying was extremely difficult for the two of them.
