  • Chiaki keeps close to Kai and chooses to chat rather than play the console she brought, enjoying their rare, uninterrupted time together. Their ride ends when Tominaga Misa tells everyone to prepare to get off.

  • Kai responds warmly to Chiaki’s banter, notices her outfit and necklace, and gently considers her comfort in the cold. He also respects her wish not to game on the bus.

  • The fortune teller realizes that her usual calculations cannot account for Kai. She jokingly concludes that his romantic prospects make compatibility nearly guaranteed whenever he reciprocates.

Ch. 363What Did He Know About the Student Council? What Was There to Explain?

Key plot points

  • At the shrine’s fortune-telling hut, Matsushita Chiaki and Hasebe Haruka receive high scores and ask earnest questions about their results. Amikura Mako double-checks hers and keeps holding Kitagawa Kai’s hand; Ibuki Mio gets a respectable 91 but dismisses the reading as nonsense.
  • Chabashira Sae admits she believes in fortune-telling when the result suits her, while Sakayanagi Arisu finds the logic amusing. Once the group leaves, the exhausted fortune-teller collapses from the ordeal.
  • On the bus back, Kai notices Horikita Suzune messaging her brother, Manabu, and sending him photos from the trip. He is pleased that the siblings seem to be growing closer.
  • Manabu passes along that the Student Council is fine and asks Kai to explain the state of the Student Council Secretary Office. Kai jokingly denies responsibility, and Suzune sidesteps the question by arguing that Manabu is no longer on the Council.
  • Their conversation turns to Suzune’s childhood. She shares a photo of herself receiving an award and explains that she once corrected the host’s pronunciation of her name because she feared Manabu might otherwise think someone else had won.

Significant themes

  • Changing relationships: Suzune’s growing ease with Manabu suggests that estrangement can give way to ordinary, affectionate contact.
  • Approval and identity: Suzune’s childhood concern was less about winning than about ensuring her brother recognized her achievement, exposing how much his judgment shaped her self-image.
  • Family connection and freedom: A rare trip away from school allows students to reassure their families and share experiences from the outside world.
  • Humor and deflection: Kai and Suzune use teasing and jokes—especially about the Student Council Office—to handle awkward subjects without letting the mood become tense.

He explains that the group should prepare documentation proactively rather than rely only on vacation photos.

  • Hirata and Katsuragi offer Kiriyama help, while Hirata later signals that Katsuragi can take his time on the call.
