Chapter 347

Volume 4: 44 When apologizing, you should...

This problem could be extremely serious.

Among the girls, even the boldest Witch wouldn't dare ask this question seriously, at most responding in a joking tone.

But there is no doubt that their thirst for answers to this question is correspondingly strong.

As the saying goes, children speak without restraint.

Faced with this question, Hasegawa Izumi neither frowned nor panicked, but instead whispered, "Of course it's Kōko."

"Kukuku..."

This answer delighted Kōko, but made the others frown.

"Brother Quan, you're so cunning! I wasn't talking about the kind of affection that comes between family members..."

Moeha wasn't satisfied and continued to press for answers.

Everyone else also pricked up their ears, trying to eavesdrop. Their attention was diverted, so when they boarded the plane, the girls couldn't get good seats for Kōko and Moeha to sit on his left and right.

"What kind of liking is that?"

"It's just... it's just that I want to be in a relationship, like kissing."

As she spoke, Moeha's voice became soft, and her ears turned red with embarrassment.

Still so innocent.

Hasegawa Izumi thought to herself.

"Who knows? It's a secret."

He raised his finger and put it to his lips.

The lack of a concrete answer disappointed the girls who were eavesdropping, but it also relieved their anxiety.

They were genuinely afraid that the outcome had already been decided, but the victor wouldn't be them, and they remained very anxious.

At the same time, they also confirmed one thing: it seemed that 'this person' did indeed exist; Hasegawa was not an unattainable being, and he shared similar feelings with them...

Because they were so close, they had always felt a huge gap between humans and gods, which might just be an illusion.

"Uh... does that mean my sister still has a chance?!"

At this moment, Moeha changed the subject.

"Hehe."

Hasegawa Izumi smiled without saying a word.

Suddenly, Fujiwara Chika, who was chatting with Kaguya, felt an inexplicable pressure, shrank back, and looked around.

Why are people looking at me like that?

"Fujiwara, you didn't deliberately send your Little Sister to spy on secrets, did you?"

Shinomiya Kaguya stated it bluntly.

"What?"

Chika-chan still looked completely bewildered.

On the other side.

The girl tidied her appearance.

"So, Quan-nii, do you think... I have a chance? Actually, I've always liked Quan-nii... you could even say it was love at first sight."

Moeha cupped her cheeks, her face flushed with shyness, her eyes filled with longing.

"That's definitely not the case."

Hasegawa Izumi's face immediately turned cold.

"Waaaaah!! Waaah... I was rejected!"

The shy young girl, as if her heart had been pierced, covered her face and wept.

"Moeha, why are you crying!"

"Izumi-chan, how dare you bully a child!"

Unaware of the situation, Fujiwara Chika stood up and began to criticize.

"Sit down."

Shinomiya Kaguya reached out and pulled her back, covering her mouth.

No matter how hard Fujiwara Chika struggled, it was to no avail; in the end, tears of helplessness streamed from her eyes.

Today's losers are— the Fujiwara sisters!

After some time, the plane landed at an airport.

After packing their luggage, everyone arrived at a beach where a yacht was already waiting.

Next, they will take a yacht to the island to complete their beach trip.

"The lives of the wealthy are so simple and unpretentious."

Nibuya Morika sighed, then stretched and a somewhat contented smile appeared on her face.

"After so much arduous training, it's time to enjoy myself!"

Others felt the same way.

Although they verbally emphasize the importance of balancing work and rest, they don't usually do anything relaxing or entertaining; at most, they might read comics or novels.

The yachts carved wavy lines into the azure sea.

"Look, it's a dolphin! Looks like we're having a lucky day."

Moeha's startled appearance attracted the attention of others.

"Where, where... Oh, it's real!"

Fujiwara Chika bowed slightly, shielding her eyes from the glaring sunlight with her right hand, and gazed ahead, seeing dolphins swimming nimbly in the sea.

They had only seen it in aquariums before, and this was their first time seeing it at sea.

Takanashi Rikka glanced around, unable to sense her friend's presence, and said with some regret, "Indeed, they are truly free in the ocean."

After a brief hiccup, the group arrived at the island, and after traversing a mountain path, reached a holiday villa not far from the sea.

Next, due to the limited number of rooms, the allocation of housing began.

The Fujiwara sisters formed one group, Rikka and M Liang formed another, Sanae and Kōko formed a third, Eriri and Kaguya formed a fourth, while Nibuya, like Hasegawa, had a room all to himself.

After putting down their luggage, the girls came out of their rooms and gathered in the living room, looking at each other with different expressions.

They all communicated through Hasegawa, but apart from a few girls from the Far East Magic Society, the others weren't necessarily familiar with each other, leading to a somewhat awkward situation, especially when they were wondering what the others were thinking.

"I just realized that everyone is so competitive! Do you feel any pressure, sister?"

"Uh, what... what are you saying, Moeha?"

"Of course it's about Izumi-nii! You invited Izumi-nii on this trip, wasn't it all to win him over?"

"No... that's not it, you've misunderstood!"

Moeha whispered a question in her older sister's ear, making Chika-chan's ears burn. She hurriedly covered her Little Sister's mouth in alarm.

Ignoring the Fujiwara sisters' petty squabble, Eriri and Shinomiya Kaguya exchanged a glance, reaching a tacit understanding.

Although the two sides are competitors, in this situation, teaming up obviously offers a better chance and allows them to gain more time together.

On the other hand, the atmosphere within the Far East Magic Society had inexplicably changed. There was no intention to cooperate among them, and they chose to fight their own battles.

The brother and sister duo arrived.

"Speaking of which, apart from the Club President, everyone here is a girl..."

The Silver-haired Witch's eyes flickered, breaking the silence, and a playful smile appeared on her face.

"Ah~ Ah~ It's still on a secluded island. Could it be that the Club President intends to turn this place into your harem island?!"

Her eyes changed, as if she had realized something, and she suddenly pointed at someone in shock.

The entire audience was astonished.

"Didn't Chika invite us here?"

Hasegawa Izumi remained calm and composed, asking a question in return.

"Oh, right, I misunderstood."

Natsukawa Masuzu her mouth slightly, drew out the last syllable, and nodded with a smile.

Then, she flashed her silver teeth and raised a finger, saying:

"I'm sorry, Club President, but when you apologize, you should show off your 'breasts,' right? By the way, I learned that from Teacher Kashiwagi Eri."

"I don't know anyone with that name."

Others looked over, Eriri looked embarrassed for a moment, only to see—

Natsukawa Masuzu really started taking off her clothes.

"Etc...!"

The girls immediately broke down and shouted in unison to stop them.

Book 4: 45 His Strangeness

"Wow!"

The innocent Fujiwara sisters covered their eyes with their hands, leaving gaps between their fingertips.

The others were about to reach out and grab it, but they quickly stopped.

Because Natsukawa Masuzu had already taken off half of her top, revealing a purple three-piece bra and her broad chest underneath.

"B... bikini?"

"What are you guys thinking? It's about swimsuits, of course! You don't think I'm not wearing one, do you?"

The Silver-haired Witch pursed her lips and said with a wicked smile.

The girls were stunned.

We were all truly fooled by this guy's superb acting skills.

Because they genuinely believed that the person in front of them was capable of doing such a thing.

"We're here for a beach vacation, aren't we? What are you all being so reserved about?"

Natsukawa Masuzu first scolded them, then turned around with a smile, grabbed his arm, and pulled him outside.

"Shouldn't we go to the beach, Club President?"

"Then we'll wait for you outside."

Hasegawa Izumi's expression remained unchanged; she offered no resistance and cooperated fully.

In the living room.

Moeha was deeply shocked and tugged at her sister's sleeve, saying, "Sister, you can't outmaneuver this person!"

"Oh oh."

Fujiwara Chika clicked her tongue in amazement.

She finally understood what kind of opponent Kaguya-chan was facing.

It seems that her previous idea that her title of 'love detective' would increase her chances of winning was just wishful thinking.

"Kaguya... um?"

When the two girls turned around again, they found that everyone around them had disappeared.

While the Fujiwara sisters were chatting, everyone else turned around and went back to their rooms, changed into their swimsuits, and prepared to head to the beach.

"Fujiwara, what are you standing there for?"
