Chapter 290

Since that's the case, if the childhood friends who know these secrets take them at face value, then there's no problem, right?

They're merely childhood friends, not in a relationship, so under these circumstances, it would only be natural for either side to get close to other members of the opposite sex.

"Amamiya already said it clearly before — because of the intertwining of fate, there will inevitably be some complicated relationships between us and him from now on."

"At the time, you had no objections, and neither did Mao Li."

"Isn't this putting it into practice right now?"

What a fine "practice."

Kaguya Sigong felt she was about to laugh out of sheer exasperation.

But very quickly, her mind regained its composure.

"... Hayasaka, you're not wrong either."

"Amamiya already said it in advance — how things develop from here is our own problem."

"Whether we become eternal friends, lovers, or wives — that needs to be sorted out differently."

Kaguya Sigong's mind gradually calmed, and she also understood that their relationship with him would not be simple from now on.

There were only two choices: becoming friends, or becoming a couple.

Kaguya Sigong already understood in her heart that her feelings toward Amamiya were no longer the same as before.

She also could not accept the sight of Fujiwara or any other member of the opposite sex standing intimately beside Amamiya, so the choice before her was a foregone conclusion.

But even if some things were destined, the order of precedence still needed to be made clear.

That feeling was not false.

Kaguya Sigong already understood that her regard for Amamiya was love.

The discomfort in her heart when Amamiya called her to talk about other members of the opposite sex was jealousy.

After sorting this out, Kaguya Sigong only felt her face burning a little.

Especially the words "wife" and "lover" that had come out of her own mouth.

". ~Haa~"

Taking a deep breath, Kaguya Sigong forced herself to stay calm.

"For now, let's not bring up this topic."

"Let's let our relationship with Amamiya develop in a normal way."

"As for the question of wife and lover, it probably won't be sorted out anytime soon."

"The question now is how do I respond to Amamiya's request?"

The question of dating was not the main issue right now.

This matter also couldn't be sorted out in a short while; moreover, Kaguya Sigong didn't think that they could quickly clarify their relationship with Amamiya either.

Feelings require closeness; they need to develop slowly.

For now, they should still let things take their natural course.

But the matter Amamiya had asked of her was right in front of her, and it needed a response soon.

"Young Lady Kaguya, since you've decided to help, then there's no need to worry."

"A normal reply will be enough."

"Besides, Amamiya doesn't trouble people casually, but once he does open his mouth, it means he acknowledges that person."

"And what if Amamiya is acknowledging her as an older sister?"

"..."

Kaguya Sigong was stunned for a moment, and only then did her mind catch up — it seemed this possibility wasn't nonexistent.

Then her brain snapped wide awake at once.

"I understand."
