Chapter 47: Nyan~?
(Note: I changed 'Meow' to 'Nyan'.)
If one day, you gained the ability to see other people's preferences—would you feel happy?
Right now, Sakurai Saki only feels... annoyed to death.
You've probably noticed already—he's having a bit of trouble controlling his mouth.
Along with a strange catchphrase that occasionally slips out.
Today's ability: XP Detector (Note: XP meaning 'sexual preference' in chinese slang) – Can freely view others' "special" preferences.
Side effect: Hard to control blurting out an extremely embarrassing catchphrase, even when the ability isn't activated.
...
"So damn annoying, nyan~!"
/ᐠ ๑`^´๑ マ
Sakurai Saki blurted out.
Fujiwara Chika, walking beside him, immediately pulled out her phone the moment she heard it.
Then she looked at Sakurai with an excited face:
"Sakurai-kun!!! Can you say that one more time?"
((๑✧ꈊ✧๑))
She already had the recorder app open, her cute face full of anticipation.
"No way, nyan…"
(>/////< " )
Sakurai wanted to sink into the ground the moment he said that.
Fujiwara Chika seized the moment and immediately recorded it.
Found a treasure nyan~!
Nyahahaha, this catchphrase is seriously so cute it's deadly!
/ᐠ≽ > ⩊ < ≼ マ
Especially when Sakurai-kun says it—it's even cuter!!
"Nee~nee~! What's this all about, huh? Tell me, please?"
Fujiwara Chika asked curiously.
Did Sakurai-kun get possessed by a cat!?
"Just a penalty for losing a game… nyaa-um…"
(,,¬﹏¬,,)
Sakurai tried to swallow the last sound into his throat.
In truth, today he had been trying to stay as silent as possible.
It's just that when talking with Shirogane and Hayasaka Ai, he accidentally spoke a bit too much.
Shirogane Miyuki did notice the strange catchphrase from Sakurai, but figured this guy has a few weird days every month anyway, so he didn't really care.
As for Hayasaka Ai, she didn't notice anything, because when talking to her, Sakurai tried to avoid saying 'nyan' (though he failed), and at that time Ai-chan was busy thinking about confessing, so she didn't pay attention.
To Sakurai Saki—saying nyan to his guy friends was still tolerable…
But saying nyan to a girl!? That's the level of shame where you'd want to dig a hole through the Earth with your foot and jump in!!
Enough to mark it on the list of lifelong irredeemable embarrassments!
ᕙ( ᗒᗣᗕ )ᕗ
"So today Sakurai-kun is in cat-chan mode all day!? Ehhh~!!"
Fujiwara Chika felt like she had missed something huge!!
At first she was just curious whether the reply message at noon was sent with a red blushing face of shame.
But now, Chika just wanted Sakurai Saki to say a few more lines.
"So cute nyan! Say a few more things nyan! Sakurai-kun, I beg you nyan~" Fujiwara Chika shouted.
(๑✪ᆺ✪๑)
Luckily, the two were almost at the student council room, so no one else was around.
Sakurai Saki glanced out the window, thinking if he jumped from here it'd probably hurt a lot, and if it didn't kill him, it'd at least knock him unconscious, right?
Pain! It would hurt like hell!
In the current situation, Sakurai Saki was in so much pain he couldn't take it!
Every "nyan" from Fujiwara Chika felt like it was ripping his heart and guts out!
"Spare me, Fujiwara Nyanka!"
The moment he said it, he clamped his hands over his mouth — dammit, he accidentally let out another one.
Fujiwara Chika instantly recorded that line too.
"Any more nyan? Any more? I want to hear a bit more nyan~!" Fujiwara Chika showed no hint of embarrassment saying "nyan."
Or rather, from the moment she heard Sakurai say that strange catchphrase, the "joy-seeking" attribute in Fujiwara Chika's brain had completely taken over the top of her consciousness, and she had become a strange woman who would feel unbearably itchy and restless if she couldn't hear Sakurai nyan nyan anymore!
Chika: (๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)
Sakurai Saki frantically shook his head.
'No nyan! Absolutely no nyan!'
The hell?
This side effect can't even be stopped from leaking into his thoughts?
This trash ability—its side effects are way too strong!?
Being able to observe other people's sexual preferences is supposed to be a powerful ability? Don't make me laugh!
The more Sakurai Saki thought about it, the angrier he got, and he activated the ability, preparing to check Fujiwara Chika's "XP" preferences.
[Fujiwara Chika: Masochist (light), Fujoshi (not fully activated, awaiting awakening), Sadist (potential for development)...]
One look.
Sakurai Saki quietly deactivated the ability.
'Ehm... It's best not to dig too deep nyan~' Sakurai Saki thought.
ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )
...
Under the "nyan nyan" clinging of Secretary Fujiwara, the two of them arrived at the student council room.
"Everyonenn!!! Listen to me first!! Today Sakurai-kun is super cute!!" Fujiwara Chika shouted as she pushed the door open.
✧｡٩(ˊᗜˋ )و✧*｡
Behind the door.
Shinomiya Kaguya looked at the two of them with an expressionless face, Shirogane Miyuki was standing in the middle of the room, and Ishigami Yuu was squatting in front of him.
"Oh, Sakurai, you came just in time." — Shirogane Miyuki looked at the pile of documents scattered on the floor. He had intended to confirm some data with Ishigami Yuu earlier, but accidentally dropped everything.
Seeing that, Ishigami Yuu took the initiative to squat down and help pick them up.
"Sorry, Ishigami, for making you help."
"It's fine, simple stuff like this, just leave it to me."
"Ishigami, your technique is pretty good, huh!"
ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
"Ah, senpai, I often do things like this."
( • ̀ω•́ )✧
The conversation was totally normal.
It's just that their posture was a bit… off.
Fujiwara Chika looked at their weird posture and hurriedly pulled Sakurai Saki to run outside.
"S-sorry, we… we're interrupting~" — Fujiwara Chika stammered, then closed the door.
(づ>/////<)づ
After that, she squatted right in front of the student council room door.
"They… so they actually have that kind of relationship? Doing that in the student council room…"
She only got halfway through the sentence before her voice dropped, then she started mumbling: "So this is what BL really is—so nauseating~ all the beautiful fantasies have completely collapsed."
"Just now they were probably picking up papers? If nyan (I) am not mistaken."
Sakurai Saki pulled her up, then pushed the door open and went back in.
Fujiwara Chika hid behind his back, peeking out from his right side.
Huh?
Finished already?
"All done, Shirogane-senpai, I've picked up the documents." — Ishigami Yuu handed the pile of documents to Shirogane Miyuki.
"Really sorry to trouble you." — Recently Shirogane Miyuki had back pain, so he was a bit lazy to bend down.
Good thing Ishigami helped.
"Between us, there's no need for such formal words, right?" — Ishigami Yuu said and then went back to sit on the sofa.
(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
Shirogane Miyuki glanced at the door, "Why did you two go outside just now?"
Fujiwara Chika had just caused a huge misunderstanding, so now she had no face to answer.
Sakurai Saki spoke up: "It's nothing, Secretary Fujiwara saw you two discussing something important, so she didn't want to interrupt."
Shirogane Miyuki smiled lightly when he heard that: "It's fine, we're almost done, once the data's confirmed, we can rest."
As he spoke, he sat down next to Ishigami Yuu and they continued their work.
Sakurai Saki and Fujiwara Chika sat on the opposite side from them.
Luckily the sofa was long enough, each side could easily seat four people.
"By the way." — Shirogane Miyuki suddenly looked up and turned to Sakurai, "Sakurai, for the interclub union meeting tomorrow, which is about an hour after school ends, are you free?"
Just thinking about the people attending that day made Shirogane Miyuki shudder.
Rumor has it that quite a few students who offended those people ended up with their whole families digging potatoes in Siberia.
"I don't have any plans for now." — Sakurai didn't refuse.
Shirogane Miyuki understood the implication behind his words.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Sakurai, all you need to do is stall for time with that classmate Ryuju!
Or fight a match with Kojima from the Kendo Club, that works too! Anyway, as long as those two don't clash—
Then I should be able to safely finish this club budget meeting… probably.
Shirogane Miyuki suddenly felt completely unconfident.
Shinomiya Kaguya listened to them chatting but didn't say anything more.
That interclub union or whatever, in front of the Shinomiya family, it's nothing more than a bunch of ants!
If we wanted to wipe them out, we could do it anytime!
