After deciding to give up, I became popular

Kaguya Shinomiya blinked, a courage she didn't know she possessed suddenly surfacing, and she actually replied, "If you're concerned, wouldn't it be better for the president to check himself?"

"...Huh?" Kanade Natsukawa was at a loss.

As expected of Japan, tsk tsk.jpg

240. What are you guys doing!

Kanade Natsukawa was a little confused.

It's no wonder he was confused. Anyone who was told something like, "If you're concerned, then check it yourself," a statement that sounded like a flirtation, would definitely be thrown into a mental whirlwind.

He couldn't help but start thinking about Kaguya's true intentions—did she think his worries were unnecessary and was therefore teasing him? Or was she simply not taking such contact to heart, feeling that it wouldn't matter if he checked it himself...

Come to think of it, that made sense. After all, he had carried Kaguya all the way through the challenge on the day she was injured, so compared to that, this little bit of contact really didn't need to be taken too seriously. On the contrary, he was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Okay, then I'll help you check it out," Kanade Natsukawa nodded in response.

And now it was Kaguya Shinomiya's turn to be disturbed.

It was originally just a moment of whimsical thought that slipped out, but she actually received a response from the president? But honestly, she wasn't at all prepared for such intimate contact!

Although they had already had the experience of him treating her hand injury and carrying her on his back, the former was clearly not stimulating enough, and the latter was achieved because of special circumstances, so theoretically it didn't count. But this time was different. It was a development that arose from a very ordinary conversation, which was powerful proof that their relationship had taken a step further!

So although she wasn't prepared, and maintained an unusually shy attitude about fully showing her feet, Kaguya Shinomiya still decided to be brave. Perhaps she could take this opportunity to bring her relationship with the president closer in one fell swoop...

After all, she had heard that many people actually had... that kind of fetish. She just didn't know if the president was also...

In short, Kaguya Shinomiya nodded weakly. Although she was shy, she agreed. But agreeing was one thing; it was too difficult to ask her to take the initiative to stretch out her leg. It was completely impossible.

Fortunately, Kanade Natsukawa wasn't an impatient person—how could a non-pervert have impatient feelings about this kind of thing!

Although the things on the coffee table had already been put away and cleaned up, it was a little strange to examine her on the table, so he simply got up and sat on Kaguya Shinomiya's side. To make it easier to check, he also deliberately left some distance, not getting too close.

In short, everything was ready, all that was missing was for Kaguya to obediently stretch out her foot.

He just looked at her.

So Kaguya Shinomiya shrank her head, and her movements became a little stiff.

Although she had gradually convinced herself not to give up the opportunity to improve their relationship, she still felt very ashamed when it came to it. But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so she had to move tremblingly, hooking her little hand and gently taking off her indoor shoes, then letting them drop to the ground with a "thud."

Then she repeated with the other one, making the same "thud" sound.

"..." Kanade Natsukawa blinked, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

Wasn't it just one foot that was sprained? Why did she take off the other one too?

However, after seeing Kaguya Shinomiya stretch out both legs tremblingly, the original doubt disappeared, replaced by another confusing thought—

What... Kaguya-san? Why not take off your socks while you're at it?

Kanade Natsukawa's heart was full of doubts, and his expression seemed a little complicated.

Perhaps it was because his ability to imagine things was too rich. Even though there was a white short sock, he could inexplicably see Kaguya's toes twitching non-stop, rhythmically as if playing a beat, which was quite cute.

Moreover, they were really flexible toes. Perhaps... they could be used to do arithmetic.

Unfortunately, they were already high school students, and addition and subtraction within 20 were already well-known.

"..."

Kanade Natsukawa didn't speak, and then remained silent for a while, mainly because he didn't know how to start, feeling that Kaguya Shinomiya must have forgotten to take off her socks for a moment. Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, and even gave him a puzzled look, he knew that he had to act.

Kaguya is a smart person, she must have her own considerations for doing this...

With this in mind, Kanade Natsukawa decisively put down the doubts in his heart and began to operate.

It's strange to say, but even though he didn't have strange thoughts, so far, he seemed to have taken off the socks of three girls. First, Kasumigaoka-senpai's tights, then Yukino's long black stockings, and finally Kaguya's black short socks... Although it sounds strange, it really felt like he was collecting achievements. He even seemed to hear a "ding" sound, and a common game achievement sound seemed to ring in his head.

Perhaps it was because their favorite styles were so different, but it also allowed him to experience completely different feelings.

In the case of Senpai, because he was a little angry, his movements were quite rough, and he didn't experience it carefully. At most, he just felt that it was quite erotic, and he couldn't find any other descriptive feelings besides feeling erotic, because after all, it was tights, so when he moved, he had the feeling that he was about to start committing a crime; then, in the case of Yukinoshita, he didn't experience it too much, after all, he was very anxious at the time, and when he found the missing Yukinoshita, he didn't think so much, and his mind was basically filled with emotions such as worry and anger, and he didn't have the time to experience anything else.

But today was different. He had plenty of brain capacity to think about things, such as "I didn't pay much attention to it usually, but it turns out that Kaguya's socks are always so small and cute" "And you can actually vaguely see the faint little animal head pattern on it, which is really unexpected..." and so on, similar thoughts naturally emerged in his mind one by one.

Of course, his movements didn't stop. After touching the other party's socks, he decisively pulled them off.

Perhaps his movements were a little rough? Or maybe it was because it was the first time he had someone help him, Kaguya seemed to be a little unaccustomed, shrinking her legs. He could even clearly feel that her muscles seemed to tense up for a moment, but fortunately there was no strange reflection, and it was a blessing that she didn't kick him in the face.

"Lift it up a little, I can't see very clearly," Kanade Natsukawa reminded.

Kaguya Shinomiya's previous injury was at the ankle, and now the two were sitting face to face, which was really a little inconvenient for him to check the wound.

"Mm," Kaguya-ojou-sama nodded weakly, the feeling of shame still failing to disappear, and even becoming more and more vigorous because of Kanade Natsukawa's actions just now.

In fact, she never thought of letting Kanade Natsukawa take off her socks. It was purely because she had been thinking about what was going to happen next that she forgot about it. When she noticed and felt the big hand "acting strange" on her calf, her whole body softened, and her heart was so soft that she couldn't muster any strength, and then she was led by the nose like this...

She obediently used a little strength to lift her leg slightly.

She had practiced yoga, and her athletic ability was not bad. It was not too tiring to maintain a one-legged raised posture, but for Kanade Natsukawa, it was a natural behavior to help her support it, right? And it was also convenient for him to observe carefully.

But such behavior, in Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes, was—

"!"

What is the president doing?! Wh-wh-why is he suddenly grabbing her calf so hard? Sh-sh-sh... Surely he doesn't want to kiss her foot, does he? Don't do that! At least wait until she washes it first?! Ah, no! It's just that this is too strange and unacceptable!

Kaguya Shinomiya's face was flushed, and the feeling of shame in her heart was also pulled to the top at once.

The main reason was that the two's movements were really bad, and in order to see more clearly, Kanade Natsukawa also moved closer to her, also leaning his head over, which made her flustered. Of course, she couldn't be blamed for thinking wildly, after all, it was the same in the eyes of others—

"What are you doing in the student council room!!!" A burst of exclamation came from the doorway.

The two also became nervous immediately, and after looking over in the direction of the voice, they found that the person who came was also a member of the student council, so they felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, it was just seen by an acquaintance... Ah, I knew I should have closed the door first... No, that's not right, they weren't doing anything shameful, why should they close the door first, really!

"You misunderstood, I'm actually checking Kaguya-san's injury. She sprained her ankle before," Kanade Natsukawa explained concisely.

Iino Miko's expression softened slightly, but her expression was still subtle, and she still looked a little unconvinced.

"Even if you're checking a foot injury, you shouldn't be in this state, right?"

"This state?" Kanade Natsukawa first looked at his own movements, and then looked at Kaguya Shinomiya's state, feeling that there seemed to be no problem. Just as he was about to reply like this, he suddenly remembered.

The two's state was completely clear to him, of course there was no problem, but in Iino Miko's eyes, because of the sofa backrest, she could only see the two's shoulders and heads, as well as the way he was lifting Kaguya Shinomiya's calf with his hand, so she would feel that it looked very strange.

After figuring this out, he began to explain: "It's true, I'm not lying. Because Kaguya-san's injured area is at the ankle, it's not very clear unless you lift it up a little..."

"In that case, you can just change your body position, right? You should be able to observe it very clearly from the side, right?"

"..." Kanade Natsukawa opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

What she said makes so much sense!

He really couldn't refute it at all, and could only scratch his head awkwardly.

"You're right..." Kanade Natsukawa nodded with an embarrassed expression, admitting his "stupidity."

The development was originally thought to be unfolding in a scene where no one would disturb, but since a third party appeared, it definitely couldn't continue. Kanade Natsukawa quickly came to a conclusion after observing it briefly.

"The wound hasn't continued to be red and swollen, so there shouldn't be any problem. It should be fine after a few more days of recuperation. Try not to do strenuous exercise during this period," After instructing Kaguya Shinomiya a few words, Kanade Natsukawa got up and went back to his seat, not forgetting to hook the other party's socks over to her before leaving.

In a corner that Iino Miko couldn't see, Kaguya Shinomiya lowered her head slightly, took the socks and put them on without saying a word, completely lacking her usual elegant and dignified appearance.

In fact, when the sound suddenly rang out at the door, her heartbeat almost stopped for a moment, and a feeling of guilt suddenly arose in her heart, as if she had been caught doing something bad, but it was inexplicably a little exciting, making people feel a little wanting to stop, so she was now in an aftertaste state.

Of course, Iino Miko couldn't see through her heart. After sitting on the sofa, she also secretly looked at it, and found that it was indeed as they said, they should just be checking the wound, after all, their clothes were all on properly, and there was no strange smell in the room, but this strange atmosphere... She always felt that things shouldn't be that simple, and inexplicably a feeling of discomfort appeared in her heart, as if she couldn't bear to see the two senpais being so close...

Well, she is also a disciplinary committee member, after all, and impure heterosexual relationships must be severely cracked down on! Even if the targets are the two senpais, they will be treated equally!

Fortunately, she had the whim to come to the student council today, otherwise this sacred place might be turned into some kind of place by the promiscuous senpais. Sure enough, she can't let go of her supervisory duties for a moment.

So, for a long time, she began to use a scrutinizing gaze, flowing back and forth between Kaguya Shinomiya and Kanade Natsukawa, making the latter's scalp tingle, and also recalling the period when Iino Miko had just joined the student council, he was also being closely monitored by the other party like this, as if he was being treated as a potential criminal.

Clearly, on the other party's birthday, he also kindly accompanied the other party for a while, but what he got in return was such a lack of respect... What is it that makes her treat him like this? She is not even willing to call him senpai anymore!

Fortunately, there is someone in this student council who can cure the other party, and such a person will appear soon.

"Yahoo! Fujiwara Secretary is here to report!" The pink octopus head made a bright debut amid a burst of expectations, "Huh? Why is everyone not talking? Are you guys fighting?"

She tilted her head and looked at the few people, her expression a little puzzled.

"You can't fight, everyone should be harmonious... Well, at this time, you still have to use games to ease the atmosphere!"

"So, in conclusion, let's play a game!" Fujiwara Chika's eyes flashed with golden light, and her little thoughts were completely exposed.

"..." Kanade Natsukawa suddenly felt that the atmosphere just now was not unacceptable.

Why don't you go back? Can you, Fujiwara-san?

241. Kouhai, are you awake?

"Has everyone played UNO cards? It's a very interesting game. Today's project is this!" Fujiwara Chika suddenly took out a box of board games from somewhere.

She was indeed prepared; no wonder she showed up at the student council during lunch break – she was clearly looking for "card buddies."

But if it's UNO, then it's not a problem. Xia Chuanzou nodded slightly. He was mainly worried that she would bring out some terrible game that their game development club had independently developed. The last time that happened, it made the entire student council quite miserable.

"I'm fine with it; consider it post-lunch exercise," Xia Chuanzou responded, as he was mostly done with his work anyway, and he had nothing better to do.

"Me too." Kaguya also nodded. Since the president had agreed, she would definitely participate.

"Um…" Yijing Yuzi hesitated slightly.

On the one hand, she still felt that doing this kind of thing in the sacred student council room wasn't appropriate. This time, there wasn't a reason like "for a welcome party" as before, which made her feel like she was being a bad kid. But on the other hand, the atmosphere of "hanging out and playing games with friends" was really hard to resist, so she was caught in a dilemma.

However, this hesitation didn't last long before it was broken by the enthusiastic Fujiwara Qianhua.

"Come on, play, Yuzi-chan. It's very interesting, and the rules are very simple," she said, enthusiastically inviting her while snuggling close, quickly capturing this little junior.

"Um… since the seniors have said so, I'll participate too." Yijing Yuzi seemed unable to withstand such close contact. Although being hugged by a respected senior was quite pleasing, she always felt it was a bit too clingy. The key was that she had always thought that Senior Fujiwara was a very elegant and dignified person, but after spending some time with her, she realized that her image didn't match at all.

Is this what they call "you can only see through a person's nature after getting close?" Then, Senior Xia Chuan…

Yijing Yuzi suddenly felt a little lost, not only because of the "date" the day before yesterday, but also because of the time she had spent with him before. She found that he wasn't as chaotic as rumored, and was even a very reliable and serious senior. Moreover, according to her observations during this period, she hadn't seen him get very close or have a very intimate relationship with any girl. It was as if all the knowledge she had before was completely wrong…

"Yuzi-chan, what's wrong?" Seeing her staring blankly, Fujiwara Qianhua asked with concern.

"Ah? No, it's nothing…" Yijing Yuzi reacted and shook her head, trying to dispel the strange thoughts in her mind. "Um, actually, I haven't played this kind of game before. Can you introduce the rules to me before we start?"

"Me too, I haven't been exposed to it," Kaguya echoed.

"Eh, eh, eh? You haven't even heard of UNO? It's very famous!" Fujiwara Qianhua said in surprise, widening her eyes and looking at Xia Chuanzou. "Then what about the president? Don't tell me you haven't played it either? Where did you primitive outcasts come from?!"

"That's a bit extreme, isn't it? There are always people who don't like playing board games," Xia Chuanzou retorted. "Besides, I've played with friends for a while, so don't underestimate me."

Although he played with random people online on the computer, he had still played!

In comparison, the two girls next to him seemed very pitiful. Not only did they not have many friends in reality, but now it seemed like they didn't even have any online game friends, which was really heartbreaking to hear.

But in fact, in Fujiwara Qianhua's eyes, he was no different from the other two.

"The friends you're talking about, President, wouldn't they be the kind you meet when playing games online, who just started considering each other good friends after playing together for a while?"

"…"

"Maybe they're even the kind who have known each other for several years but don't even know each other's real names."

Xia Chuanzou: "…"

Hey? Can you take down the camera at home? This idiot, how did she suddenly become so smart?! And besides, what does it matter? Friends are friends. Why doesn't it count if you meet online? They don't lie to you or make you angry, and being able to play games happily together is already the best kind of friend!

Apologize to all the best game partners in the world!

"Stop talking nonsense. Are you going to play or not? If not, I'm going back to class," Xia Chuanzou glared at Fujiwara Qianhua.
