The Heroines Want to Confess

Chapter 438 438: The Marriage-Proposal Battle Is About to Begin

"Yay, finally finished."

Fujiwara Chika raised both hands, like a prisoner just released from jail, inhaling her first breath of free air.

She wanted to die — doing homework truly felt like it could kill someone.

Shuchiin's summer homework was enormous, because every teacher of every subject assigned their own. This was also why Fujiwara Chika always complained about how hard it was.

If she transferred to a normal school, Chika would be considered a "top student," but unfortunately this was Shuchiin.

"I'm really jealous of the president, no need to do homework during summer break." Fujiwara Chika used a very sinister angle to deliver her "attack" on Shirogane Miyuki.

"... He works much harder than you." Sakurai Saki responded on Shirogane's behalf.

It was true that Shuchiin's summer homework didn't need to be done — he had already withdrawn from Shuchiin. Do it for what?

Yes. In fact, at this moment Shirogane Miyuki was no longer a Shuchiin student.

"... I can't argue with that."

Fujiwara Chika looked at Shirogane Miyuki reviewing documents, and quietly swallowed her own words.

"Wait, Saki-kun, what are you looking at?"

Her gaze fell onto his phone, and she immediately realized something was off.

'Isn't this the Shinkansen ticket booking page?'

"Buying tickets. Tomorrow I need to go back to Kyoto."

"Again? Didn't Saki-kun just come back from Kyoto?"

Hearing that, Sakurai Saki felt it was hard to explain——

The death anniversary of the Nakano sisters' mother was approaching, and Nino wanted to call him over to visit the grave together, so the mother in heaven would know about Sakurai Saki...

This was extremely absurd, because the mother of the Nakano quintuplets — under Sakurai Saki's manipulation — wasn't actually dead. She had merely fallen into a deep sleep, and was expected to wake up around this time next year.

'Going to pay respects to someone who isn't dead…'

"Just some personal matters."

Sakurai Saki had no intention of explaining. Letting Chika know would only cause trouble; after all, Secretary Fujiwara loved gossiping.

"Then you need to hurry back. The president's flight is on the 16th, and on the 18th we have to go to the beach."

"Got it." Sakurai Saki recalculated his schedule.

The time should be enough.

"It's fine, Sakurai. If you can't make it, just call me. It still counts as seeing me off a little." Shirogane Miyuki felt it wasn't something to take so seriously.

Bros didn't need to fuss over such formalities.

The heart was what mattered! No homo!

"Now that the homework is done, I feel bored."

Let me guess. Your next sentence is——

"Saki-kun~ let's play games!"

Not a single word off, Sakurai Saki muttered to himself inwardly.

"What do you want to play?"

"Umu, let me think." Fujiwara Chika didn't have a concrete idea yet.

After all, she had already played through the board games in the Student Council room, and replaying them didn't feel interesting anymore.

After thinking for a while, Chika-chan finally made her decision——

"Let's play the 'I Love You' game!"

The "I Love You" game! One of the classic social games that could quickly shorten the distance between two people, commonly used at parties.

"The 'I Love You' game?" Shirogane Miyuki stopped signing documents and frowned at the two of them.

He had a feeling this game would be pure torture for single dogs.

And reality proved — he was absolutely right!

"Say 'I love you' to each other, whoever blushes first loses!"

Fujiwara Chika explained the rules of the game: "If I say to Saki-kun 'I love you', you have to reply to me exactly the same 'I love you', or 'Umu'. Lowering your head or looking away is not allowed."

So simple?

Yes, it was exactly that simple. But for a single dog like Shirogane Miyuki... it was not simple at all. He felt that if he played with a girl, he would lose right in the first round.

Please, just looking straight into a girl's eyes was already enough to make him want to die, let alone having to say "I love you", this was something only those living happily could play, right?

"Alright. Do we need to decide a punishment?"

"Hm, if someone loses then… um, what should they do?" Fujiwara Chika couldn't think of anything for the moment.

In fact, as long as Sakurai Saki played this game with her, she had already profited greatly, she absolutely didn't need to care about the bet or winning or losing.

Winning was a double win, losing wasn't a loss.

"The loser obeys one order from the winner?"

Thinking it over, Fujiwara Chika still felt this was the best.

Sakurai Saki nodded: "Alright."

"Then let's start right away."

Fujiwara Chika took out her phone, and when Sakurai Saki wasn't paying attention, she pressed the record button.

Very quickly, under Shirogane Miyuki's excited spectating, the two of them began the affectionate "I love you" game.

"Saki-kun, I love you."

"I love you, Chika."

"I love you..."

"I love you too."

Wait!

You two showing off your affection is one thing, but why are your faces getting closer and closer!?

Shirogane Miyuki felt that if this continued, before they even decided the winner, the two of them would end up kissing.

'Seriously, can you two care about my feelings a little bit!?'

Shirogane Miyuki hurriedly coughed once——"Ehem", using it to remind them.

He really couldn't endure it.

This Japan shouldn't be stayed in too long, he should run off to America soon.

Or maybe he should go to France, he heard people there greet each other by kissing.

...

Half an hour later.

At the Shinomiya house, in Shinomiya Kaguya's room, Hayasaka Ai was chatting with her when she received a "surprise gift" from Fujiwara Chika.

It was an extremely loud "I love you, Chika".

Ai-chan gripped her phone tightly.

That pink-haired bitch who lost dared to provoke her like this?

"Oh my! Is Sakurai-san finally about to dump you?"

"...Kaguya-san, what do you mean?"

"Didn't I warn you last time? You have to be careful with Secretary Fujiwara, she's the kind of woman who would do anything to steal a man. This time she pulled one on you, didn't she?"

Hayasaka Ai felt that the things Kaguya was saying were, in a way, even worse than Fujiwara Chika!

Kaguya was like a sparrow perched on a wall watching the two of them, she and Secretary-chan, fight each other, then she would jump out at some unknown moment to profit as the fisherman.

You absolutely couldn't let your guard down!

Prevent fires, prevent thieves, prevent your best friend... although it seemed she had already failed, but the "first wife position", she definitely could not hand it over.

"Saki-chan seems to want to return to Kyoto tomorrow... I don't know what he wants to do." Hayasaka Ai said while sending a message to Sakurai Saki.

The content was of course related to the recording Chika sent.

"He's always so mysterious, he's probably hiding from you to go date other women again?"

"Going all the way to Kyoto just to date women?" Hayasaka Ai was about to refute, but thinking about it again, the possibility wasn't low.

"It's not impossible. Last time he even went all the way to Kyoto just to stay with me."

The example Shinomiya Kaguya gave left Hayasaka Ai unsure how to refute.

"That was because you were being confined by the Shinomiya family, so he went there."

Ding.

A message arrived.

Hayasaka Ai glanced at the message Sakurai Saki sent, and she finally let out a sigh of relief.

'So it was just a game.'

I thought you had really said those words to Chika.

"By the way Hayasaka, when are you planning to get engaged to Sakurai-san? After graduating high school you can start considering it, you know?"

Ai-chan tilted her head, "Engaged? That kind of thing obviously has to be initiated by the man, why should I consider it?"

In the battlefield of love, she was the one who made the first move.

In the next battlefield of proposing, did she have to be the one to act first too?
