"Geez, what are you doing… Doing something like that in such a busy time." Eriri scolded Kouta while she helped Kouta wear his suit. Right now, she helped Kouta wear a black tie. She pouted as her cheek was like an eating squirrel.

Kouta wore an outfit for the first time in his life, and he thought he would wear this kind of outfit in the future. He wouldn't have thought he would ever have a chance to wear this kind of clothing. It looks like a navy blue, expensive looking suit. No, it may be a truly expensive one, since Kouta felt the material so cozy and good on his finger when he touched it.

"Hm… Good. I like this." Eriri as she stepped back and looked at Kouta, who was already in his suit. She gave a satisfied beam seeing how good looking, but still had such an adorable appearance from him

"I wonder how you got this suit…" Kouta threw a question that pooped in his mind, while he checked himself wearing this navy blue suit.

"Hm…? Well, this old suit belongs to my father. I just asked a tailor to adjust it to your size. You don't have to worry since he never used this suit." Eriri answered truthfully.

"Is that so…" Kouta responded flatly, while silently glancing at Eriri, who was already dressed up in a similar navy blue dress. The fabric of her gown had a smooth and obsidian glitter that emphasized the beauty of her pale skin like a white snow, and those skirts ended about her knees to show off her long, thin legs. Her gorgeous golden-blonde hair was tied in her usual twintail with a black ribbon.

"That really suits you very well…" Kouta had a satisfied smile on his face and praised Eriri.

"Really? Well… I might have a fond memory of the previous dress. But this dress is also good. Especially, we had a matching color too… It makes us look like a couple, right?" Eriri blushed as she was being praised by Kouta, even though Eriri was already used, people flattered her.

Eriri still wasn't used to being complimented on her face and getting praised for her beauty, but this was the person she had some feelings for. It gave Eriri such a different feeling with those praises. Kouta's praise actually made her heart thump and her body became light and full of joy.

Eriri gave Kouta a stupidly cute smile and grabbed his hand and wrapped her arm around him and said.

"I hope you escort this lady well…"

"Ahaha… this is my first time going to this kind of party. So don't expect too much…" Kouta replied, took a small breath, and readied himself. "Okay, then…"

"Hahaha, you don't have to be that nervous. Just let me do the talking…" Eriri said as those two left the room. Of course, there was still time before the party started, but most of the guests were already here.

Kouta followed Eriri's instructions, and he just said a minimal word when some people came toward Eriri. And to be honest, from a Kouta point of view… It was just people flattering each other and talking about what rich people care about.

The party itself started with Eriri's father, Mr. Spencer, who welcomed the guest and talked about some political aspects and also charity stuff. When he finished talking about those things, the guest gave him an applause and the party started by themself.

Just like Eriri said, there were several men that greeted her, and to Kouta's surprise, well, most of them flaunted their status and stuff like that. There was a time when a man looked at Kouta and gave him a look down, staring at him.

"Well, that's a new kind of experience…" Kouta said as he got some food served at the party. It's more like a bunch of western cuisine.

"Hahaha… That's why I am not really fond of this kind of party, but your presence really helps since usually I get twice or three times this kind of conversation." Eriri gave Kouta her usual experience in this kind of party.

"Geez, that may be really boring and the worst." Kouta replied, while he patted her shoulder to show his sympathy.

But at least the food was delicious… It was delicious enough, but if he wasn't careful enough, he might do some weird poses. Eriri told him that the person who prepared this food was a graduate from Tootsuki Culinary Academy.

To be honest, when Kouta heard that, he couldn't help hoping to see some rich characters from anime appear at this party. And when he heard Eriri talking about Tootsuki Academy, he hoped there was a chance the character from Shogeki no Soma would appear, but it looked like that didn't happen.

He also didn't see any other rich-character he hoped might appear, but when he started to feel really disappointed with the reality.

"Ah… Eriri!! It has been a long time since I saw you…" The voice of a cheerful girl came out of nowhere and hugged Eriri quite fondly. Kouta turned and saw a cute, fair-skinned young girl with light pink shoulder-length hair and a black bow in the middle of her square bags.

It was a familiar young girl that Kouta had already seen in the previous world. It was just her appearance, with her wearing those gorgeous yellow dresses with a larger bust despite her being shorter than Eriri.

"Ah… Chika, I have been busy studying for my midterm exam… Also with my art too…" Eriri replied to the question thrown by Chika.

"Is that so… Hm… Who is this guy?" Chika realized the guy beside Eriri was an unfamiliar guy in their circle. No, it was her first time seeing Eriri together with Kouta.

"Ah… This is my classmate… Hm… Kouta, can you introduce yourself…" Eriri replied as she gave Kouta a pinch since he had been staring at Chika.

"Ah… My name is Suzuki Kouta. Nice to meet you." Kouta introduced himself to Fujiwara Chika, a character from anime in Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai series. It's also understandable for her to show up at Eriri's family party. Since Chika family was a politician, with a same circle with Eriri's family who diplomat from another country.

Also, if his memory isn't wrong, Chika was somewhat of a prodigy at piano in the past. Even though it was a different kind of art with Eriri, who excelled in the drawing, which Eriri's drawings won in several city contests. Which made them become close in this world.

"Un… My name is Fujiwara Chika. I'm in my second year at Shuchi-in Academy. Nice to meet you." Chika introduced herself back to Kouta, but at this time she couldn't help staring at him. "Hm… I wonder… I feel like I see him somewhere." She tilted her head, wondering and thinking.

"Well, you may see him in the video… I send you, Chika." Eriri told Chika to remind her about a video she sent her about a week ago. It was a video about Floopy Bird.

"Hm…? Video? Oh, that video about a mobile game with that funny bird… I'm not really into mobile games and more into tabletop games, but since it came for you. So I tried the game, and it's quite fun. I'll even tell my friend about it… One of my juniors in the student council found it interesting. He even made a bunch of lists for improvement." Chika gave a long explanation, which made Kouta understand and happy that his game was spread widely.

"Hm… wait… but isn't that video full of girls… Hm… Wait… are you talking about that comment saying that one of the girls is actually a guy… Which means… he is that guy crossdressing in the video!" Even with her famous 3 IQ, she can draw those conclusions very nicely. Not a bad brain… Well, it wasn't that hard anyway.

"Yes, he is." Eriri replied with a smug face.

"Really… that's quite something. But…" Chika looked at Kouta's face before she checked from top to bottom. "He is so adorable… Are you really a man? Or maybe a girl that crossdresses as a man." Chika said, as she was unsure of Kouta's identity.

"Well, of course… I'm a man… Eriri can vouch for me." Kouta said that as he put his hand on Eriri's waist and pulled her close to him.

"Wait… Ugh… don't do it so suddenly… and in front of Chika…" Eriri said that with such a red face. While on the other hand, Chika, who became a spectator of those two closer like that, only put her hands in her mouth with a blushing face… she felt like this Kouta's guy was so bold.

"Wait… Wait… What are your two relationships…? Wait… isn't that Eriri like his childhood friend… wait… if I was wrong…" Chika was so confused with this development. Eriri never told her that she liked her childhood friend, but from this detective love identification from Eriri speaking about her childhood friend to Chika, even though her deduction was correct, but seeing Eriri and Kouta interact shattered those deductions.

"Well… that may be a question Eriri needs to say…" Kouta answered, while at the same time whispering something to Eriri.

'Eriri… help me gain her interest, okay…"

"Ah… Okay… Kouta…" Eriri nodded, and while her face still blushed, she didn't even think to reject Kouta's order. Despite the fact that she may throw her long friend into Kouta's grip.
