From Now On, Call Me Senior Chika!

"Replying very quickly."

Kaguya sighed, clearly she had just sent it.

Seeing this, Hayasaka asked curiously, "Kaguya-sama, are you going with Fujiwara-sama?"

Since she wasn't eavesdropping, she didn't know what they were talking about.

"Um, I just made an appointment with her."

Shinomiya Kaguya: [Done, but when do you have time?]

Fujiwara Chika: [Let's take the morning of the 22nd. I need a good rest on the 21st.]

After calculating the time, Chika decided on a time to go shopping with Kaguya.

She had been very tired the past few days abroad and needed to rest before resuming shopping.

And on the 21st, she also had other important things to do.

Like... Eating ramen!

She had been craving ramen lately, and she had to eat it to her heart's content when she returned.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have enough energy for shopping.

Just as she was planning what to do after returning to Japan, Moeha came and took the initiative to chat: "Onee-chan, you're smiling so happily, are you chatting with Kamikawa-senpai again?"

"I'm not chatting with that annoying Kamikawa-kun, I'm chatting with Kaguya-san." Chika said seriously, "Please don't put them both in the same position."

Moeha's eyes sparkled, and she hurriedly asked her sister full of hope.

"Okay... Let me ask Kaguya-san."

After hesitating for a while, Chika finally declined her request.

Fujiwara Chika: [Kaguya-san, important matter! Moeha also wants to go shopping with us, can she?]

"Kaguya-sama, why do you look so anxious? Could it be that Fujiwara-sama sent weird content again?"

Seeing Kaguya staring at her phone screen, Hayasaka asked.

"It's not Fujiwara-san's problem, but Moeha-san also wants to go shopping with me. I'm considering whether to agree." Kaguya said very stressed.

"Moeha-sama... In a way, she's also a good kid." Hayasaka commented.

After thinking for a moment, Kaguya agreed, "Yes, except for occasionally saying some very scary things."

"In that case, agreed, shopping should be lively."

Her tone sounded a bit unsure.

Shinomiya Kaguya: [It's okay.]

"Kaguya-san agreed."

Chika showed her phone screen again.

"Great!"

Moeha cheered, then asked, "By the way, onee-sama, do Kaguya-chan and Kamikawa-senpai know each other?"

"They know each other, and they seem to have a good relationship."

As soon as Chika finished answering, she realized something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, Moeha, why are you suddenly asking this question?"

"Because I plan to invite Kamikawa-senpai to come shopping with us!" Moeha said excitedly.

"..."

"Didn't you agree earlier that Onee-sama wants me to meet Kamikawa-senpai after returning to Japan? This opportunity feels very good."

"I refuse. Shopping with someone like Kamikawa-kun will ruin my good mood." Chika's attitude was very firm.

This was her first time going shopping with Kaguya. It's okay if she has one more sister, but it's not appropriate to have Ren.

It would cause problems for Kaguya!

She didn't know how close they were.

If Kaguya reluctantly agreed because of their relationship, and the shopping experience turned out to be bad that day, the only solution would be to ask Ren to leave.

Therefore, considering all factors, not inviting Ren was the best solution.

"This is something you promised me, Onee-sama. Aren't you keeping your promise?"

Moeha shrugged her shoulders and deliberately said in a sad tone.

"I'm your big sister~! Onee-sama, you should set a good example for me."

"In this case..."

Under Moeha's gaze, Chika finally spoke.

"Onee-sama—"

"...Moeha, please call me Chika-senpai from now on. No one has ever called me like that." Chika said proudly.

"Are you really choosing to break off your relationship with your sister just to not fulfill your promise?"

Moeha didn't expect such a solution at all.

"Okay, Moeha, is there anything else you want to say?"

"No, Onee-sama."

At this point, Moeha could only let go of the idea.

"By the way, why do you want Kamikawa-kun to go shopping with us?"

This was something she couldn't understand.

"It's nothing, really. I just want to corner Kamikawa-senpai and Kaguya-chan at the same time..." Moeha sighed, "This time, a good opportunity failed like this. Unfortunately, it seems I can only look for another chance."

...

At the same time, at Ren's house.

"It seems there's nothing else to do lately."

Sitting on bed, Ren carefully thought about his recent schedule and came to this conclusion.

The letter to Gabriel had been sent, and Yotsuba's gift had been secured, so there was no need to waste time on these matters.

Other people's gifts were being prepared, so there was no need to rush.

"That means I can do something else."

After ensuring that he was relatively relaxed for the next period of time, Ren took out his phone, found Hayasaka's LINE, and began to formulate his words.

Indeed, what he needed to do now was to take the initiative to befriend Hayasaka.

This was something he had decided on before, but he only had time to do it now.

Kamikawa Ren: [Hayasaka-san, do you have time lately?]
