Chapter 415

Fujiwara Chika didn't continue to dwell on why she was being held in Ren's arms; the sense of security she felt at this moment was utterly blissful.

As for that terrifying memory, she figured she probably wouldn't be able to forget it anytime soon.

As long as Kaguya didn't see it, everything would be fine.

Fujiwara Chika thought this very casually.

Just as she closed her eyes, preparing to drift back to sleep, a very stiff cough made her frown. She unhappily looked toward the sound, and then she was just like a cat caught with its neck gripped after sneaking a bite.

She saw Kaguya staring at her with a face full of grievance, those eyes radiating thick resentment, along with the jealousy and sourness hidden within.

And standing behind her as the source of the cough was Hayasaka Ai, whose face showed no extra expression, yet she could see the other's enjoyment of the spectacle and a trace of envy.

"???"

The Fujiwara Chika who had just been startled instantly felt the world had become different; at this moment she seemed able to see many people's emotional changes, and the true thoughts beneath those emotions.

"What are you still looking at? Fujiwara."

At this moment, Kaguya Sigong felt as if she was about to burst into flames from jealousy.

Her boyfriend had only just started dating her, and already he was holding another girl in his arms to soothe her emotions. She knew the reason, and the one being held was her friend, so she couldn't even work up any temper about it.

Just as she had said before, she could fully accept the complicated, special relationship between them, but don't expect her to watch from the side without getting jealous.

She'd still get sour, still flare up when it was time to flare up, and her jealousy was even stronger than ever before.

"Eh?"

Fujiwara Chika looked at Kaguya and was momentarily stunned; she clearly saw Kaguya's complicated feelings toward her, and that even fiercer jealousy.

"Since you're awake, shouldn't you be able to get off Ren's body?"

Reminded, Fujiwara Chika finally noticed that she was sitting sideways on Ren's lap, her body almost leaning into Ren's embrace, and her head was nearly buried in Ren's shoulder.

So what she had seen the moment she opened her eyes was a neck.

So that was why, when she was sleeping earlier, she had felt the "bed" her face was leaning against was so hard...

At this moment she was curled up, and even her bare feet were resting on Ren's lap.

Imagining what she must look like at this moment, a blush instantly spread across Fujiwara Chika's face.

She could accept being held by Ren, and she could accept sleeping in Ren's arms, but she just couldn't quite accept being stared at while looking like this.

She hurriedly braced both hands on Ren's shoulders and stood up.

"Hehe~ Sorry about that, Kaguya, for stealing your Ren."

Having jumped down, Fujiwara Chika looked at Kaguya with a blushing, grinning face.

"... I-it's not like you stole him from me."

That phrase "your Ren" did sound quite pleasant to Kaguya Sigong's ears.

"Really? But the way Kaguya addresses Ren has changed, hasn't it? Mhm, just like Ran and Sonoko back then."

"And just now, Kaguya was really jealous seeing me sitting on Ren. Mhm, it's just that I haven't made a similar expression before."

Kaguya Sigong was suddenly shocked, and subconsciously reached up to touch her own face—had she really shown that kind of emotion just now?

"Mhm, it's pretty obvious, after all this is really the first time I've seen Kaguya this jealous."

As she spoke, an unusually bright smile bloomed across Fujiwara Chika's face.

"So, Kaguya being this jealous—is it because you got a response to Ren's confession?"

"!?"

"Pfft~ I guessed right, didn't I? So, has Kaguya officially started dating Ren now?"

Looking at the thoroughly teasing smile on Fujiwara's face, Kaguya Sigong instantly couldn't hold it together anymore.

"Fujiwara, what are you saying?"

No matter how hard Kaguya Sigong tried to force herself to stay calm, all her emotions were laid bare before Fujiwara Chika's eyes.

"Mmm~ A jealous Kaguya is so cute too~"

"!?"

That sentence completely sank all of Kaguya Sigong's psychological defenses.

"A-anyway, hurry up and get up, I-I'm going out with Hayasaka first!"

Under the barrage of teasing, Kaguya Sigong couldn't stand being stared at by Fujiwara like that; that smile of someone enjoying the show was simply too much for her to bear, so she turned around, grabbed Hayasaka, and left the room together.
