Chapter 467: Wait, Is This Right?

7:45 AM, in Kaguya Sigong's room.

"…You mean that for the past week, you've been sending Fujiwara over to Ren's place to deal with that sudden psychological issue of hers?"

"Yes."

"And then, this past week, that sow Fujiwara, after getting her psychological issues sorted out, stayed overnight at Ren's home. Mhm, and you yourself, in order to stop that sow from doing anything unnecessary, also stayed overnight at Ren's home~?"

"Yes."

"And in the end, you also discovered your own feelings for Ren, and saw that sow Fujiwara's emotional expression toward Ren? —"

"Yes."

A string of "yes" answers made Kaguya Sigong, currently in her pajamas, feel her blood pressure spiking.

"I'm not angry… I'm not angry… It's just that my best friend and my maid happened to stay overnight at my boyfriend's place… It's just that sow clinging to Ren in his arms…"

Previously Kaguya Sigong had felt that Suzuki Sonoko was her greatest rival, only to find that her best friend and her maid had stolen her firsts one after another.

"Young Lady Kaguya, Miss Fujiwara's condition that Monday really was terrible. I had already gone back to my room to get ready for bed when I received Miss Fujiwara's call; it was only after hearing her trembling voice on the other end that I rushed over."

"At the time, Miss Fujiwara, in order to avoid being discovered by her family, had curled herself up in a dark corner."

Hayasaka Ai knew Young Lady Kaguya was very angry, so she went on to describe Miss Fujiwara's initial state that Monday night.

"…"

The angry Kaguya Sigong furrowed her brow; she did not believe Hayasaka would deceive her on this matter.

"Fujiwara's condition that day was that bad?"

"Yes."

Hayasaka Ai bowed slightly.

"After I sent Miss Fujiwara over, Amamiya-kun kept soothing the emotionally unstable Miss Fujiwara the entire time."

"That day, Amamiya-kun also gave me a simple description of the situation Miss Fujiwara was facing. It was essentially the equivalent of taking a small boy's explosion head-on, and Miss Fujiwara was extremely lucky to have only suffered a few scrapes."

Kaguya Sigong's face twitched several times.

Taking a small boy's explosion head-on? That's a guaranteed-death scenario, isn't it.

And she was lucky to have only scraped herself a little? That means the deflagration completely burned away her entire being, and she only survived by sheer luck after her body was reconstructed.

"Loss of control and contamination… is it that serious a problem?"

Kaguya Sigong calmed her emotions, and suddenly she felt she could keep them under control.

She trusted Hayasaka's words, she trusted Fujiwara's reaction, and especially the emotions that showed on Fujiwara's face when she spoke that day.

She also trusted this strange metaphor — Amamiya was someone who had walked the Path of Sequence together with Fujiwara, so only Amamiya knew best just how serious the situation Fujiwara faced truly was.

Hayasaka Ai hesitated for a moment, then still offered her own conjecture.

"I think this problem may be extremely serious. Amamiya-kun has said several times that, in fact, loss of control and contamination are both irreversible. I think if Amamiya-kun hadn't been there controlling things, Miss Fujiwara might no longer be in human form."
