Chapter 85

This ability is a bit special.

"Amamiya, let me see."

Chika Fujiwara looked at Amamiya with stars in her eyes, full of expectation.

"Here you go."

Ren Amamiya smiled and gave the Maple Leaf gold coin to Chika Fujiwara.

Taking the gold coin, Chika Fujiwara began to observe it.

Weighing it, the weight of the gold coin was quite heavy.

Trying to flip the gold coin and letting it land on the table, it tumbled, and heads was up.

Trying a few more times, tails and heads appeared, but never did tails appear several times in a row.

"Hmm~ Is this a magic trick?"

Chika Fujiwara didn't understand.

"The randomness is too great."

Kaguya Shinomiya directly denied this guess.

"The angles at which the gold coin falls are all different, and the flipping when landing on the table often causes different results."

"Just now, the gold coin Amamiya flipped landed in his hand."

"Fujiwara, you can try."

"Mm."

Chika Fujiwara tried again, but the result was still uncontrollable.

Even the height of the hand position and the number of rotations of the flipped gold coin were unfixed and uncontrollable.

If all of this wasn't a magic trick, naturally, the situation of the same side facing up occurring consecutively wouldn't happen.

"This is not a magic trick."

Ren Amamiya leaned over and placed his hand flat under Chika Fujiwara’s hand holding the gold coin.

His finger tapped lightly on the back of her hand, and the gold coin passed directly through her palm and fell into Ren Amamiya’s palm.

"???"

"Eh? How did this pass through my palm?"

Looking carefully at her palm, there was absolutely no damage, but the Maple Leaf gold coin had indeed passed through her palm.

Chika Fujiwara was certain her eyes absolutely hadn't seen wrong.

That trick just now didn't contain any technique.

Her hand didn't have any mechanism; it was impossible for the gold coin to pass through the palm and fall directly into Amamiya’s hand spread out below.

And it wasn't a fast-speed technique.

It should be said that the falling process just now was very natural, without any technique at all.

It just unnaturally, abnormally, and super strangely let the gold coin pass through her palm.

"It's just some extraordinary abilities I obtained."

Ren Amamiya gave an explanation patiently.

"I really can't explain the specific situation well."

"I can only say that besides becoming a charlatan, the ability I mastered is probably the ability to pick locks."

Although she didn't understand the meaning of these words, stars were already appearing in Chika Fujiwara’s eyes.

"Is it the same supernatural ability as Kaguya’s?"

"So interesting!"

This is probably the emotion of ordinary people seeing someone with extraordinary abilities.

"I seem to want to possess the diary quickly, I want to see what kind of supernatural ability I can obtain."

Ren Amamiya could understand Chika Fujiwara’s mood; Suzuki Sonoko probably had a similar mood.

However, this was not an easy thing.

"Still need to see the situation."

"The way to obtain the diary needs to be explored; this also has value for controlling the sending and receiving of the diary in the future."

It was just that when he said this, he paused for a moment.

Perhaps the final variable is still on me.

As the owner and host of the diary, perhaps the distribution of the diary really has a certain connection with him.

It was just whether this connection was according to his will, which still needed to be examined further.

"Click!"

The sound of the door opening sounded again.

"Whoa~ You guys are here too."

The person hadn't entered the activity room yet, but the voice had already come in.

Suzuki Sonoko noticed the chocolate placed beside Amamiya at the first moment.

She pouted slightly, realizing she was a bit late.

Her eyes swept over the people in the room.

There was one more person she had seen before, which made Suzuki Sonoko’s eyes light up.

She bounced over.

"Chika, long time no see."

"Sonoko! Are you also in this school?"

Seeing Sonoko at that moment, Chika Fujiwara was also very surprised.

"You didn't know?"

"I thought you transferred from Shuchiin because of me."

This made Chika Fujiwara feel embarrassed.

"Sorry, I followed Kaguya over."

"Huh?"

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the big ice block in surprise.

"You and the big ice block are friends?"

"...Speaking of which, you and this big ice block are actually friends."

This was even more surprising than a horror story.

Mainly because Chika Fujiwara was the person she knew who was the least difficult to interact with; she looked cute, and speaking wouldn't make people dislike her.

The most important thing was sincerity.

And Chika Fujiwara was completely a different type of person from Kaguya Shinomiya.

"Hee hee~"

Chika Fujiwara still proudly puffed out her chest.

This stupid look made Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but hold her forehead.

After Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko walked in, Sanzenin Nagi, Saginomiya Isumi, and Maria had all arrived.

At this point, Kaguya Shinomiya, as the president of the Mystery Research Club, began to initiate the discussion of activities.

"Alright, next is about our club’s first activity."

"Amamiya-kun is the initiator."

"About a trip to a small island on the weekend."

The topic of travel aroused some interest in Suzuki Sonoko.

"A trip to a small island, traveling on the weekend is not bad."

"But, why a trip to a small island?"

"My feeling tells me that this trip to the small island will be very exciting."

"Feeling, huh."

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

"Then I have no problem."

"Ran, you have no problem either, right?"

Mouri Ran thought about the weekend, and it seemed there was no specific thing.

"No problem."

"Recently my dad and mom both hope I can go out to relax; I can just tell them."

Ran had no problem.

Suzuki Sonoko turned to look at Sanzenin.

"Arrogant brat, what about you?"

"Don't call me a brat."

Sanzenin Nagi rolled her eyes back.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do on the weekend, so treating it as a weekend trip is fine."

Saginomiya Isumi and Maria both looked at Nagi in surprise.

If it were in the past, Nagi definitely wouldn't say such words.

She would definitely say, "Going out for a trip on the weekend? Are you sick? I'd rather play games at home."

Although it was just a very reluctant behavior now, this shouldn't be considered a bad thing.

Sometimes independence requires a bit more reluctance.

And Nagi now had her own goals, so she definitely wouldn't have the three-minute enthusiasm like usual.

This is a good thing.

Kaguya Shinomiya scanned the circle and continued the topic.

"Then, the weekend trip is decided."

"I will be responsible for the boat to the small island."

"The specific situation will be decided on the day before the weekend."

Confirming there was no problem, Kaguya Shinomiya sat down again.

"Suzuki-san, the next time is for you."

"Thank you."

Suzuki Sonoko didn't say much and sent the chocolate she had prepared long ago in front of Amamiya.

"Amamiya, this time it's still friendship chocolate, next time it will be true-heart chocolate."

"Thank you, Suzuki-san."

Ren Amamiya wasn't pretentious and directly accepted this chocolate.

Seeing Amamiya accept it, Suzuki Sonoko was very happy, then pushed Ran beside her.

"Next is you, Ran."

"Uh, mm."

Compared to Suzuki Sonoko’s generosity, Mouri Ran appeared a bit bashful.

She was a bit shy, but still took out a wrapped chocolate from behind her back.

"Amamiya-kun, it was your reminder before that I knew about Shinichi’s matter."

"Here is... a thank-you gift."

"Mm, thank you, Mouri-san."

Ren Amamiya still smiled and accepted this thank-you gift.

Don't waste other people’s gratitude casually.

Today was truly the first time in his life he received chocolate from a girl.

Although the meaning was different, it was chocolate after all.

Mm, in a sense, his life also began to move in a good direction.
