Wherever He Goes, Miracles Follow.
"If you were to spy on them, the Lord Sage would definitely find out, and the Lord Sage would absolutely not live the decadent life you imagine!"
Sitting on the bench, Takanashi Rikka listlessly raised her head, dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves onto her face, her mind replaying the secret meeting from a few days ago.
To be honest, until yesterday when I heard that Busujima Senpai had moved out, I was still very concerned and wanted to know if anything had happened between Sage and Senior Pokjima.
However, she was too embarrassed to ask the Sage directly, so she kept it to herself, feeling very unhappy.
"Rikka, what are you doing here?"
A girl with her hair tied in a high ponytail, who had just finished exercising, slowly sat down beside them.
"Nothing."
She responded coldly.
"Rikka, you seem to have something on your mind lately. If you don't mind, you can tell me about your troubles~ We're friends, right?"
She turned her head and was greeted by the girl's gentle smile.
Everyone needs someone to confide in when they have troubles in their heart, Fujiwara Chika, who often brings joy to others, is a great choice.
"Actually, it's like this... Just imagining it made me feel really bad. I don't quite understand what it is."
Her eyes flickered, and she hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"So, that's [jealousy]!"
"I'm unhappy because I like him."
Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands together, tilted her head slightly, and said with a smile.
A blush crept onto the girl's face; she was clearly very excited about the topic.
"Wait a minute... when did Izumi-chan start living with someone!?"
Fujiwara Chika quickly realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise.
"How... how did you know I was talking about Sage!"
Takanashi Rikka raised her finger in disbelief.
She didn't name names.
"Because Rikka gets along really well with Izumi-chan, and Izumi-chan is so outstanding, he's bound to be popular with girls... Wait, what's this about living together? I'm really curious!"
Fujiwara Chika was as excited as a paparazzi who had caught a whiff of gossip.
"Yes, because of some unforeseen circumstances in Busujima Senpai's family, she stayed at the Sage's house for a few days."
"That's all? Nothing more exciting?"
That's all.
"Well, high school students living together is exciting enough, hehe, I didn't expect Izumi-chan to be such a bad guy! And Busujima Senpai, so she's that kind of person after all?"
"While I can't reveal the specific details, it's not what you're imagining."
Takanashi Rikka waved her hands and said.
"Of course I know! Just kidding, I know very well what kind of person Izumi-chan is."
Fujiwara Chika smiled and changed her clasped hands into interlaced fingers.
"So, what are Rikka's plans?"
"Wh-what do you mean, how do I do it?"
She leaned her face closer, and the latter leaned back as if feeling guilty.
"Liking someone means wanting to be with them, right?"
"I'm with the Sage now too."
"Completely different! That's just a friendship. If you become lovers, you can be all lovey-dovey and do all sorts of embarrassing things! Kissing, kissing, and hehehehe..."
At this point, Fujiwara Chika suddenly giggled and cupped her face in her hands.
Takanashi Rikka imagined that scene too, and her cheeks burned even hotter, as if steam were about to rise from the top of her head.
This was something that truly captivated her.
"Smack."
Fujiwara Chika clapped her hands again, signaling her to look over.
"Izumi-chan is quite attractive, and it's hard to guarantee that someone else won't beat her to it. As Rikka's friend, I'll definitely support you! So, this lost item called [Love] will be handed over to me Love Detective Chika!"
The girl patted her chest, her eyes filled with eager assurance.
"... Um."
Takanashi Rikka turned her gaze to the side and let out a soft hum.
The atmosphere was right, and she suddenly felt it was difficult to refuse.
Or perhaps, she already felt a sense of crisis, and her possessiveness was awakening fiercely.
"Let's start with the first step! First, invite Izumi-chan out on a date on Sunday, then create a romantic atmosphere to observe Izumi-chan reaction..."
"Huh?"
"Generally speaking, girls wait for boys to make a move, but knowing Izumi-chan's personality, we have no choice but to take the initiative!"
Fujiwara Chika clenched her fist and encouraged her.
Back home.
"Should we... do it?"
Takanashi Rikka lay on her side in bed, her phone screen glowing, her finger hovering over the notification bar, somewhat hesitant.
She pondered for a full half hour, her mind racing with various thoughts, before finally making a decision.
[Want to go on a date on Sunday? I have something important to tell you.]
This is the original text.
She revised it to: [My most trusted ally Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King User, I have a special operation this weekend that requires our coordinated effort.]
I quickly received a reply: [Understood.]
Without asking why, just a simple sentence, full of trust.
While Takanashi Rikka showed joy, she was also worried about the rest of the trip.
On the weekend.
After breakfast.
The girl arrived at the Hasegawa family and rang the doorbell.
Good morning, Sage.
Good morning, Rikka.
Today, she changed into a different dark girl-style fashion outfit than usual. It was a very appropriate dress, with a black cape on the upper body tied with a cute bow, and her usual headband was replaced with a more gorgeous ribbon.
As a result, after opening the door, the Sage glanced at her clothes as if nothing had happened, and said nothing.
She even dressed up so carefully!
"Sage, haven't you noticed anything different about me?"
Takanashi Rikka couldn't help but exclaim.
You mean, new clothes?
Hasegawa Izumi pushed her bicycle out of the backyard.
"How about that! This is a magic robe that can only be worn during special ceremonies."
She put her hands on her hips and said.
"Yes, it's beautiful."
His comments delighted the girl.
Let's go.
Hasegawa Izumi placed one foot on the ground and the other on the foot pedal, then nodded to indicate.
"Good!"
At the same time.
Fujiwara Chika also informed her family of her plans and prepared to leave.
As a Love Detective, she's determined to witness the final outcome.
Unexpectedly, her closest friend of the longest time suddenly came to her door.

Chapter 18: Wherever it goes, miracles follow.
"Hey, when did Kaguya-chan change her hairstyle?! I didn't even know!"
Fujiwara Chika noticed this the moment she saw him.
According to her understanding, if a girl suddenly changes her hairstyle after maintaining the same hairstyle for a long time, it must mean that something important has happened.
However, the fact that her best friend knew nothing about it made her feel somewhat incompetent.
You don't need to worry about it.
Shinomiya Kaguya subconsciously reached out as if to touch her hair, but quickly withdrew it, saying coldly.
Fujiwara Chika was already used to this attitude and didn't pay it any mind.
"Thud."
The maid prepared two cups of black tea.
Shinomiya Kaguya picked up the cup, took a sip, and didn't put it down, seemingly to warm her hands, or perhaps to hide something.
"So, Kaguya-chan, what brings you here today? I have something urgent to discuss."
Fujiwara Chika appeared very anxious.
"Fujiwara, how much do you know about Hasegawa? You two seem to know each other well, and you're even in the same class."
Shinomiya Kaguya hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up.
After all, she had already prepared herself mentally beforehand.
"Huh?"
Fujiwara Chika tilted her head.
Why is Kaguya-chan suddenly so interested in Izumi-chan?!
Could it be...?
In that instant, the girl, realizing something was possible, widened her eyes.
No, no, no, although they know each other, their relationship has always seemed strained...
Soon, the girl patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Because Izumi-chan played games with me for a while, I'm pretty close to Izumi-chan! In Shuchiin, besides Eriri, no one knows her better than me!"
Fujiwara Chika boasted proudly.
It's like when a friend achieves great success and boasts about their relationship, you feel a sense of pride in them.
Given Hasegawa's current status in Shuchiin, such behavior is not unreasonable.
"Oh? You know so much about this? You're not lying, are you? Do you know what Hasegawa likes and dislikes?"
Shinomiya Kaguya narrowed her eyes, then spoke sharply.
"Of course I know! Izumi-chan's favorite drink is cola, and she usually likes to play games and read light novels... What she dislikes is probably people who boss her around or think they're very strong? As for food, she probably doesn't have any dietary restrictions."
Fujiwara Chika rubbed her temples, reminiscing about the past.
