Chapter 13: Drink it without spilling a drop

"Shinomiya-san, what are you doing?"

Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but ask.

"..."

Shinomiya Kaguya didn't answer, but looked sideways with tears in her eyes.

You are the legendary Ice Princess Kaguya who bleeds but does not shed tears. What is going on with this tearful expression?

It's like a primary school student who accidentally ate bitter green peppers and wanted to vomit it up, but under the stern eyes of adults, he could only swallow it reluctantly and hold back the tears!

"Hey, Kaguya-chan, are you okay?"

Chika Fujiwara, who was sticking out her tongue, looked over with concern: "Why are you crying? Borscht is super bitter, but it's not so bitter that you cry, right?"

Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face was pale, with tears in her eyes. She was about to cry and uttered a few trembling words:

"Eye, eye..."

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Fujiwara Chika came forward with her eyes wide open. Her clear blue eyes were particularly beautiful. The little rabbit on her chest swayed due to the bending movement, which made people subconsciously think of Newton's pendulum. "It accidentally flew. Are there little bugs? Don't be afraid, I'll blow it for you."

Amamiya Natsuki was moved in her heart. Her eyes fell on the borscht in Shinomiya Kaguya's hand, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.

Eye...

Borscht that turns fear into hallucinations…

No way?

Could it be that you were having random thoughts in your mind, which led to hallucinations, and you saw strange eyes in the borscht?

Stop your random thoughts now!

The more you think about it, the more dangerous it becomes, but a big-chested and brainless idiot like Fujiwara-san can get through it easily!

"The meal time is about to end." The pig-headed butcher's deep and deep voice came from the back kitchen, "Students please leave the cafeteria as soon as possible."

Hearing these words, the resentful students and unlucky players in the cafeteria hurriedly stood up as if they were being pardoned, and fled out of the cafeteria one by one.

Shinomiya Kaguya quickly put down the borscht in her hand and wanted to get up.

"Kaguya-chan, you can't escape." Fujiwara Chika stretched out her right hand and held Shinomiya Kaguya's shoulder with a serious expression, "You can't waste food. The chef will be angry and say, what if I chase you out?"

"Hallucinations, all hallucinations. There is nothing in the soup. You are scaring yourself."

Natsuki Amamiya quickly explained the hidden rules.

"So that's it." Fujiwara Chika suddenly realized, "No wonder everyone has a super scared expression and it's hard to swallow."

"Even if you say so..."

Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lower lip, her eyes fell on the borscht, and the dew in her eyes almost rolled down.

As he spoke, there were obviously more terrifying ingredients in the borscht.

Can't drink it.

You can't drink it no matter what!

"Kaguya-san, can you be of some use?"

Natsuki Amemiya chose to encourage her teammates in the same way, "Hurry up and learn from Fujiwara-kun, pinch your nose, close your eyes and choke down."

It's a pity that the effect of encouragement this time was very poor, and it completely failed to ignite Shinomiya Kaguya's fighting spirit.

"The cafeteria will be closed soon, and it will definitely be too late to buy another one..." Chika Fujiwara was so anxious that she pressed her forehead with two fingers, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Ah, I have thought of a way!"

"Amamiya-san." Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands on her chest, opened her eyes wide, and looked over expectantly like Bambi, "You haven't finished your borscht yet, why don't you exchange it with Kaguya-chan?"

"Um?"

Amamiya Natsuki was startled and suddenly enlightened.

The method is very good and can indeed solve the current dilemma.

Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't drink borscht because the imagination in her mind was too frightening. As long as she changed to a bowl of borscht, the problem would be solved naturally.

"No problem." Amamiya Natsuki nodded and agreed, pushing the remaining half of the borscht in front of Shinomiya Kaguya. Not only was he a teammate, he was also a classmate, so he couldn't ignore it, "Let's change it to another bowl."

Shinomiya Kaguya looked hesitant.

"Kaguya-chan, what are you hesitating about!" Fujiwara Chika shouted, "Now is not the time to care about indirect kisses!"

"I don't care about that kind of thing!"

Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but retort.

What I care about is obviously that there are bad ingredients in the borscht that look like eyes. If it were to be replaced by Natsuki Amamiya, my conscience would be aching, that's all!

"Don't worry, you won't get pregnant if you kiss indirectly." Chika Fujiwara continued to beat her teammates, "If we were trapped in the desert and in order to survive, it would be okay even if we drink [beep——]."

Your sister! What terrible things did you say that have become silenced words?

"Amamiya-san, please."

Shinomiya Kaguya quickly made up her mind and handed over her borscht.

"Remember, keep your heart calm and don't think wildly. It's best to follow Fujiwara-kun's example, close your eyes and let it go."

Natsuki Amamiya took the borscht and drank it in one gulp.

"Kaguya-san, drink quickly." Chika Fujiwara pinched her waist with both hands, "Don't worry, you won't get pregnant."

"Pregnant, pregnant..."

Shinomiya Kaguya's eyelashes couldn't help but tremble, and the borscht in front of her eyes changed inexplicably again.

Boom, boom, boom.

The dull sound of footsteps came from the direction of the back kitchen.

"Hey, the chef is coming out." Fujiwara Chika said nervously, "Kaguya-chan, it's too late."

"I-I know."

Shinomiya Kaguya took a deep breath, held the bowl with both hands, closed her eyes, her long eyelashes couldn't help trembling, and imitated Amamiya Natsuki's action just now, raised her head and drank.

Chug. chug, chug.

"Bwa——"

Unfortunately, Miss Kaguya's shout wasn't heard, only the aggrieved coughing sound.

"Leave quickly." Natsuki Amamiya urged.

In the empty and cold cafeteria, only the dull footsteps of the pig-headed butcher echoed.

The three of them quickly left the canteen.

"It would be nice if I could stay in the cafeteria."

Natsuki Amamiya sounded regretful.

The canteen is a rare treasure room. It feels super good to take advantage of the reputation of the pig-headed chef.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. I wonder if I will be able to see the chef again in the future.

"Where to go next?"

The three of them returned to the signpost.

"Well..." Fujiwara Chika crossed her right hand across her chest, pondered for two seconds, and then quickly raised her hand and suggested, "Shall we go to the examination room?"

"Kaguya-san is super smart. From elementary school to high school, she ranked first in every exam in her grade. She will definitely be able to pass the exam easily."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki always felt that this idiot was setting a flag.

It will definitely be easy to get through, and it sounds super like "I will go back to my hometown and get married after this battle."

However, as students of the private Shuchiin Academy, all of them are top test takers, so no one is afraid of exams.

"Let's go and take a look."

The three of them followed the instructions on the sign and walked into the teaching building.

"Hey, my body is moving on its own."

Chika Fujiwara, who was walking at the front, suddenly shouted.

The same was true for Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya behind them. The three of them were controlled by unknown forces. They involuntarily came to the door of a classroom, pushed the door open and walked into the classroom.

An eerie voice sounded faintly.

"Class is full again, now the exam starts."
