That’s the Reality

"Fujiwara-san, can you tell me why you insist on asking us to try the table game produced by your table game club?"

Seeing Chika sitting across from her, Nino crossed her arms and asked with confusion.

"Well..."

Chika glanced at Yotsuba and Itsuki sitting on her left and right, blocking her way out, and began to think about how to explain it accurately.

Because standing in the aisle was too conspicuous and would also disrupt the normal path of others, they chose to share a table, and Chika was surrounded.

"Perhaps Fujiwara-san is having difficulties." Itsuki explained.

After all, she was a friend she had just made, so she still needed to say something.

As for Chika's attempt to deceive her into trying the table game, she did make a mistake, but it was not something unforgivable.

Especially since Chika was stopped by Nino.

"I have nothing to say now, so just keep eating noodles."

Nino stared at Itsuki, almost deceived, but she still helped speak. Wasn't that too foolish?

"Actually, Fujiwara-san is a pretty nice person, but she's just a little obsessed with table games." Yotsuba tried to comfort Nino and not make her too angry.

Nino said calmly, "You have no right to say that. You brought Fujiwara-san home last time."

The reason she invited Yotsuba, Itsuki, and Chika to sit together was because they were both victims, but Itsuki was almost the same, while Yotsuba had already been deceived.

That's why she was so "rough" on her sister.

"Sorry."

Realizing this issue, Yotsuba lowered her head and continued to eat noodles.

She hadn't finished the noodles she ordered earlier, so she brought them.

Seeing Yotsuba and Itsuki pressed one by one, Chika was pressed as she was about to open her mouth to explain.

Itsuki's and Yotsuba's sisters seemed too strong.

This was a tough opponent.

"Kamikawa-san, is it your turn to speak on behalf of Fujiwara-san now?" Nino looked at Ren sitting next to her and complained.

Since there were already three people sitting next to Chika, Ren could only sit with them.

However, even though they were sitting together, there was a gap between them, so there was no need to worry about any contact.

"NO."

Ren had no intention of helping to explain.

"That's good, or I wouldn't have the right words to refute you." Nino felt relieved.

The relationship between Ren and her was different from Yotsuba and Itsuki.

She could be more relaxed with Yotsuba and Itsuki, and it didn't matter if she acted rough. After all, they were sisters, as long as she didn't speak too harshly.

But Ren was different; she had to understand the scale.

He had long helped his sister with her studies, and he worked diligently every day. He didn't use his status as a tutor to force her to study, so Nino had a very good impression of him.

Moreover, she had several sisters who liked Ren, so she still needed to worry about the feelings between her sisters.

"Um... Actually, I have no choice but to do it."

After observing Nino for a while, Chika got an idea and took the initiative to explain.

"You have no choice?" The choice of words was a bit beyond Nino's material. "Could it be that the members of your table game club are forcing you to find someone to try it?"

"That's right!"

Although that was not the issue at all, and it was purely her own idea to find someone to try it, Chika admitted it without hesitation.

Anyway, the table game club members are not here. Even if she says it now, no one can deny it.

"They said if I can't find anyone to try it, they will kick me out of the table game club."

After getting this idea, Chika started to make excuses.

"Troublesome club?"

New students in high school have a very low status when joining a club and are easily intimidated by senior students.

"Yes." Chika nodded quickly, "So, can you help me try it? Help me once again! I don't want to be kicked out of the table game club."

"This..."

Nino was slightly hesitant; she didn't expect Chika to really be in trouble.

If she only helped with the trial, it was not impossible to help her eliminate bullying in the club.

Besides, Chika was friends with Yotsuba and Itsuki.

"Please, it's easy to try it just once!"

Watching the drama unfold, Chika seized the opportunity and continued.

"Can someone very popular also be bullied?"

At this moment, Ren asked his question.

He knew common sense in this area because before school started, he was a little worried that he, an ordinary person who knew no common sense at all, would be intimidated and bullied by other students in the class.

Fortunately, it didn't happen, and he made many friends.

In this way, he knew what kind of people would be bullied.

"Impossible, how could someone very popular be bullied? On the contrary, it would be better if someone like that didn't bully others." Nino was quite familiar with this aspect.

"Then Fujiwara-san lied."

After receiving confirmation, Ren revealed her lie.

"I didn't lie at all. What I said is clearly the truth."

Although panicked, Chika still defended herself.

"You told me that you are very popular throughout the school, very charming, and highly popular. Are these words a lie?"

Ren repeated what Chika said about her when he sent her home that day.

"No." Chika would never deny that she was very attractive. "That's the reality."

"Then why is Fujiwara-san bullied?" Ren asked.

"..."

Chika bowed her head and said nothing.

"In other words, Fujiwara-san, everything you said earlier is a lie to me?" Nino immediately understood what was happening.

"Kamikawa-kun, why did you say it now!" Chika didn't answer Nino's question but expressed her dissatisfaction with Ren. "I was almost successful now!"

"Because I don't want to play that weird table game again." Ren answered honestly.

Under normal circumstances, even if others lied, he wouldn't expose it, but this time Chika was different. If he didn't expose it, problems would arise.

He didn't want to play that strange table game again; it wasn't fun at all.

Chika said fiercely, "Excessive!"
