Chapter 38 NG Word Game, let's begin!
Fujiwara Chika: "Let's chat normally then, but since the rules prohibit the use of names, let's just address each other by our names."
Chitanda nodded. "Yes, Yukino, let's do our best!"
Yukino Yukinoshita: ".....Hmm."
You wrote the lyrics, so why are you cheering me on? Or is the word "cheering" above my head?
A chain of suspicion is beginning to emerge!
Kaguya Shinomiya calmly turned her head. "Mahime, for today only, I allow you to call me Kaguya directly."
Shijo Maki was a little annoyed. This genius Shinomiya Kaguya, whose abilities surpassed hers in every way, was so aloof! She was like a block of ice. While Kaguya cursed Shinomiya to never find a boyfriend, the beautiful Shijo Maki could easily get any kind of man she wanted.
"Well, my family teaches me to respect my elders, like my great-aunt!"
Kaguya Shinomiya nodded and said calmly, "Although we are the same age, you are right. The branch family should indeed know how to respect the main family. Then you may leave."
"Huh?"
Fujiwara Chika pointed at Shijou Maki and said, "Maki is out! You can take off the card on your head and take a look now."
Shijou Maki's eyes went limp as she looked at Shinomiya Kaguya in disbelief before taking down the card labeled "Grandma".
Kaguya Shinomiya remained unmoved, for her hunt had only just begun. She would deal with the simplest one first, and then...
"That's great, we all call each other by our first names. Hey, can I just call you Ling Yao? Speaking of which, you're supposed to tutor me today."
Hayasaka Ai launched her offensive, her energetic demeanor and pure, lovely appearance making her undoubtedly deserving of the word "cute"!
As the only male present, Hayasaka's offensive instantly drew everyone's attention.
"No, we're not that close yet."
Unfortunately, Uchiha Ryo remained unmoved!
"Hey, let's settle for the next best thing. Is it okay if I call you classmate Ling?"
Uchiha Ryo turned to look at Hayasaka Ai, a slight smile appearing on his face. "Let's talk about it next time."
Chika Fujiwara once again declared, "Ai Hayasaka—OUT!"
Classmate?
Hayasaka Ai looked at Yukino Yukinoshita in surprise. What was going on? She and Yukinoshita didn't seem to know each other very well, did they? What kind of weird NG entry is this?!
Yukino Yukinoshita didn't care at all; even when it was a game, Yukino took everything extremely seriously!
She eliminated Hayasaka and Yukino Yukinoshita so easily; this woman is equally dangerous. Kaguya Shinomiya began to think!
At this moment, Chitanda Eru suddenly said, "Speaking of which, has everyone ever kept a pet?"
"I have a dog named Pace, and he's very smart!" Fujiwara Chika said first, as she really liked her dog, Pace.
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "I have a cat named Yanyun-chan, and my cat can do backflips."
"Hey! A cat that can do backflips!"
Although Chika Fujiwara is a true dog, how could anyone not be interested in a cat that can do backflips!
Chitanda Eru looked at Yukinoshita curiously, "Eh, I didn't know that either. Yukino~ Can cats really do backflips?"
Yukino nodded. "I can definitely testify to that; his cat can indeed do a perfect backflip."
"Yukino Yukinoshita—OUT!"
Uchiha Ryo shook his head slightly. He hadn't expected that Chitanda Eru, who seemed so innocent, would actually set traps in this kind of game.
After all, among those present, only Yukinoshita and Uchiha Ryo probably knew that she liked cats. That's probably why Chitanda wrote about "cats," right?
"Sorry, Yukino, but that's how these kinds of games are played, right?"
Yukino sighed. It was indeed not Chitanda's fault, but she hadn't expected him to write an entry for her with the word "cat".
Uchiha Ryo thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Chitanda and said.
"Chitanda, I have found a way to resolve your request."
"Really?! What method?!"
Uchiha Ryo sighed deeply, "But I can't say."
Chitanda Eru was getting anxious. "Why? Why can't I tell you! What method is it?!"
Fujiwara Chika chuckled, because the entry she wrote had also been triggered.
"Hehehe, Chitanda Eru—OUT!"
Chitanda Eru was stunned for a moment, then looked at Uchiha Rin with disbelief, her big purple eyes becoming crystal clear in an instant.
"You lied to me..."
Chitanda Eru's slightly choked voice instantly captured Yukino's sympathy. Yukino gently stroked Eru's hair, then looked at Uchiha Ryo with a look of utter disdain.
Not only Yukino, but also Hayasaka Ai beside her, and Shijou Maki, who was eliminated even earlier, all looked over with disdain.
"Hey! It's just a game... And! I'm not lying to you, I'll tell you the key to resolving the commission after this game is over."
Chitanda Eru raised her head, her eyes no longer filled with tears, but with pure joy.
"Then I'll be looking forward to Uchiha-kun's answer~"
This girl... who's lying to whom here?!
However, Chitanda Eru removed her own card as well as Fujiwara Chika's.
"Fujiwara-san, you're so out of touch!"
"Eh!!!"
The game has finally reached its final moment, with Uchiha Ryo's "Yes" and Shinomiya Kaguya's "Victory".
"Uchiha Ryo, can you tell me what your relationship is with Brother Yunying?"
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Just today, I had a very pleasant conversation with Brother Yunying, and we almost became sworn brothers. However, I still declined, since I don't want to take on any followers."
Kaguya Shinomiya: "???"
Taking Sigong Yunying as your underling? How dare you say that? Why didn't you say it when Brother Yunying came over!
Kaguya Shinomiya's icy expression finally softened, and she took a deep breath and spoke.
"You liar! I, Kaguya Shinomiya, will now engage you in a serious battle, and victory will surely be in my hands."
Fujiwara Chika suddenly said, "The outcome is decided, what a pity, Kaguya~"
Kaguya Shinomiya silently removed her card. "....."
"The winner can order someone to do something that isn't excessive... right, Shinomiya-kun?"
To Kaguya Shinomiya, Uchiha Rin's smile was nothing short of a victor mocking the loser, something that no member of the Shinomiya family could tolerate!
but....
"A bet's a bet. What does Uchiha-kun want me to do?"
Uchiha Ryo glanced at Chitanda Eru, "Shinomiya-kun, with your status, you can easily investigate the Shuchiin's database, right? We want to look into the matter concerning Uncle Chitanda from thirty-three years ago."
"Just... something like that?"
"Otherwise, what do you think I'd say?"
Kaguya Shinomiya nodded and looked at Eru Chitanda as well, "If it's just something like that, you can ask me directly, and I can agree to it."
Uchiha Ryo clapped his hands. "Alright, I'll choose another one!"
Kaguya Shinomiya glared at Ryo Uchiha. "You've already used up all the rights of the victor!"
