Chapter 207: Yukima Azuma Must Belong to Me, Shinomiya Kaguya!
As an exchange student, Yukima Azuma was living quite well at Shuchiin.
After the student council's announcement was posted, all the students of Shuchiin Academy learned that Yukima Azuma had been appointed as the vice president of the student council.
As the true governing body of Shuchiin, holding the title of vice president was like an aura surrounding Yukima Azuma.
In the eyes of other students, that aura automatically gave him a "handsome" effect.
Moreover, Yukima Azuma was the top scorer in the previous inter-school exam.
Although Shuchiin was a prestigious academy, at its core, it was still a school.
Academic performance was clearly one of the most important evaluation criteria for students.
Therefore, almost no one was dissatisfied with the decision to appoint Yukima Azuma.
Even though his status as an exchange student was somewhat special, Shuchiin students were already accustomed to valuing competence.
Umu, of course, there were exceptions.
"Oba-sama must have lost her mind to appoint this guy as vice president!"
૮₍ ˶>⤙<˶ ₎ა
Shijo Maki stared at Yukima Azuma, unconsciously pouting.
She had already asked Shinomiya Kaguya directly.
This so-called "Onii-sama" had absolutely no blood relation to her.
He was merely an adopted older brother.
So she didn't need to call him that at all.
She had totally been fooled.
As for any admiration toward Yukima Azuma?
Shijo Maki had none.
Last semester, she ranked fifth in the inter-school exam.
And that was without even focusing on studying.
If she put in just a little effort, securing the top spot wouldn't be difficult at all! Hmph!
( ,,⩌'︿'⩌,,)
Shijo Maki confidently thought so.
And if Yukima Azuma weren't around, things would have indeed gone that way.
But now that Yukima Azuma was here, that was uncertain.
Yukima Azuma glanced at the twin-tailed tsundere sitting beside him.
He hoped she would keep up that arrogance.
He had already prepared his popcorn.
...
After class, Yukima Azuma went to the student council room.
When he stepped inside, only Fujiwara Chika was there.
"Where's Shinomiya-san?"
Yukima Azuma asked curiously.
"Kaguya-chan has an archery club activity today, so she'll be a bit late."
Fujiwara Chika responded cheerfully.
Yukima Azuma nodded.
Suou Yuki was in a similar situation.
Aside from student council duties, she was also part of Shuchiin's literature club.
Perhaps she was influenced by Yukima Azuma.
"Yukima-kun, the budget review for clubs is coming up soon."
"The board game club wants to buy some new board games, but the budget keeps running out too fast."
"Can you approve some extra funds for the board game club? I can treat you to a cola."
Fujiwara Chika handed him a can of cola.
But her eyes avoided his, full of guilt.
"As expected of a politician's daughter."
Yukima Azuma remarked sarcastically.
Fujiwara Chika, upon being teased, pretended to whistle.
〃(* ¯ ³¯) ~~~
Unfortunately, she had never learned how to do it properly.
So all that came out were strange "phew phew" sounds that didn't resemble whistling at all.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.
Seeing that her bribery attempt had obviously failed, Fujiwara Chika quickly changed the subject.
"I wonder where this year's field trip will be!"
The so-called field trip was a regulation in Japan.
From elementary school until high school graduation, every year students had to participate in a field trip organized by the school.
The location was decided by the school, and the main purpose was to develop students' practical skills.
It was a combination of reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles.
Nowadays, most schools chose famous tourist destinations.
Not only did it broaden students' horizons, but it also combined classroom bonding activities.
As a prestigious school, Shuchiin was, of course, no exception.
As far as Yukima Azuma knew, last year Shuchiin had gone to London.
"Isn't it a bit too early to be thinking about this?"
Yukima Azuma let out a helpless sigh.
The field trip wouldn't take place until near the end of the semester.
And right now, it was only the beginning of the school year.
"Time will pass in the blink of an eye! Yukima-kun, where do you want to go?"
"I kind of want to go to Hokkaido! We could go skiing! I heard the snowy scenery there is beautiful!"
"Heading a little south doesn't seem bad either, like Hawaii or Jeju, hehe."
Fujiwara Chika's face lit up with excitement.
"Hokkaido, huh." Yukima Azuma also felt a bit of anticipation.
Every day, aside from attending school, he was busy with business matters.
Recently, he even had to occasionally deal with supernatural incidents.
There was nothing remotely ordinary about his life.
If the field trip could be a bit fun, that wouldn't be so bad.
Now that he thought about it, he had even promised Yukino that he would take her to Hokkaido when he had some free time.
(note: Bocchi disappeared in 100+ chapters: ( 。 •̀ ⤙ •́ 。 ))
At that moment—
BOOM!
A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed outside the window, followed by a deafening thunderclap.
Fujiwara Chika jumped in fright, immediately clutching her belly button.
Her entire body curled up into a ball.
"Uwaaahhh!" ༼;'༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽
The little secretary screamed at the top of her lungs.
Clearly, she was the type who was extremely afraid of thunder.
Yukima Azuma looked outside the window.
Raindrops began to fall one after another.
Autumn had arrived, and rain was only natural.
After all, an autumn rain brought a chilly breeze.
It was a sign of the changing season.
He had forgotten to check the weather forecast this morning—how careless.
"Help! Yukima-kun, save me!"
Terrified by the thunder, Fujiwara Chika clutched her belly button and tearfully begged Yukima Azuma for help.
There was an old Japanese belief that thunder would steal children's belly buttons.
Although most high school students no longer believed in such things, Fujiwara Chika was clearly an exception.
Yukima Azuma walked over to Fujiwara Chika.
Since she was busy holding onto her belly button, her hands weren't free to do anything else.
Umu, what a perfect opportunity!
Yukima Azuma reached out his sinful hands.
And... he covered Fujiwara Chika's ears for her.
Are~... Hentai-san, what do you all think he was about to do?
If he had really tried anything weird here, the Fujiwara family would probably have throw him into tokyo bay instantly.
"Thank you, Yukima-kun... No, from now on, I'll just call you Azuma-kun! Thank you so much!"
Fujiwara Chika expressed her deep gratitude for being saved.
Yukima Azuma didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This Fujiwara Chika... her affection level was really easy to raise.
At that moment, Shinomiya Kaguya and Suou Yuki entered through the main door, one after the other.
"Yukima-kun... what are you doing?"
Shinomiya Kaguya looked at their strange posture, a bit confused.
"Because I had to cover my belly button, I asked Azuma-kun to help cover my ears."
Since she couldn't hear anything, Fujiwara Chika explained loudly.
Shinomiya Kaguya nodded, her expression showing that she had understood everything.
Meanwhile, Suou Yuki leaned in closer to Yukima Azuma.
"Do you need me to cover your ears?"
She asked with a smile.
"Sure, thanks."
Yukima Azuma didn't refuse.
Who could say no to a cute Suou Yuki?
And so, Suou Yuki raised her hands and covered Yukima Azuma's ears.
Due to their slight height difference, Suou Yuki had to lift her arms higher.
As a result, the distance between them naturally became closer.
Yukima Azuma felt two soft, liquid-like masses pressing against his back.
What started as just playful teasing suddenly took on a more ambiguous atmosphere.
Yukima Azuma clicked his tongue.
Three years had passed, and this girl's development was truly getting a bit out of hand.
Shinomiya Kaguya stood beside them, slightly dazed.
She felt like she was being left out.
Should she step forward and help cover Suou Yuki's ears now?
What kind of bizarre play was this?
Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head and got back to the main topic.
"Yukima-kun, the trains have stopped running. What are you planning to do later?"
"Also, I noticed you didn't bring a bag, so I'm guessing you don't have an umbrella either?"
As she spoke, Kaguya reached for the handbag at her side.
Inside was an umbrella.
As a lady of the Shinomiya family, she naturally had people keeping track of the weather forecast for her.
This morning, one of the maids had informed Shinomiya Kaguya about the rain.
And then brought her an umbrella.
Now, Yukima Azuma didn't have an umbrella.
It was the perfect opportunity to naturally trigger the "sharing an umbrella" event.
According to what Shinomiya Kaguya knew, this was one of the few easy ways to break down social barriers.
As long as she activated this event, it would definitely be easier to win over this teenage boy.
After all, she was the heiress of the Shinomiya family.
Who wouldn't fall for her after spending some time with her?
Shinomiya Kaguya was confident in that.
"Nuh-uh, I can just call a taxi, and as for not having an umbrella… getting a little wet isn't a big deal."
Yukima Azuma replied casually.
Having money was truly convenient.
He usually took the train just because he had free time.
If he wanted to, he could buy a few more cars and hire a private chauffeur like the Sawamura family.
"Getting wet might—" Shinomiya Kaguya started to say.
But someone else cut her off.
"Getting wet might make you sick. You shouldn't take it lightly."
"I have an umbrella, Azuma-kun. Let's share."
"While we're at it, I'll call my driver to take you home too."
Suou Yuki, still covering Yukima Azuma's ears, reached out and gently poked his cheek.
Shinomiya Kaguya: (¬_ ´¬ )Tch!
Suou Yuki was originally Yukima Azuma's childhood friend.
Although she highly doubted the legitimacy of this setup.
But since she couldn't expose it, she had no way of interfering either.
Shinomiya Kaguya was slightly annoyed.
Clearly, this prey was hers, yet someone else had snatched him away.
Since when did a member of the Shinomiya family have to suffer such humiliation!
This won't do—Yukima Azuma must belong to Shinomiya Kaguya!
Initially, she had only intended to recruit Yukima Azuma, but now, her competitive spirit was beginning to burn fiercely.
