Surprise for Fujiwara Chika

Before the official start of the school festival, the opening ceremony would be held in the auditorium.

Allowing the principal to take the stage for a speech, initially seemed like a step that could be quickly passed over, but this year's school festival was a little different.

At 9 a.m.

Most of the students had gathered in the auditorium, and Shinichi, after making final preparations for the "Heart Hunting Festival" event, went to the broadcasting room to adjust the equipment and conduct voice auditions with broadcasting club members.

Later, he would explain the activity's method, and he had already learned how to use the equipment here. So, when everything was ready, he asked the broadcasting club members to leave the broadcasting room and return to the auditorium to gather, while he remained alone here, enjoying the rare moment of peace.

Through the monitor screen and speakers in the broadcasting room, Shinichi watched the opening ceremony while playing with his phone.

The emcee was a senior member of the School Festival Executive Committee. Her clear voice and enthusiastic tone could lead the atmosphere. Even if the speeches delivered by the teachers made people drowsy, she could regain attention at certain times.

Shortly after, the principal began his speech. Shinichi guessed it was almost time for him to appear, so he put down his phone and took the script for final confirmation.

"Um, it should be very simple..."

At that moment, there was a knock on the door from behind.

"Please come in."

Shinichi turned to look as he spoke.

The door of the broadcasting room slowly opened, and the pink octopus head peeked out from the crack.

Oh no, it was Fujiwara Chika.

"Ah, Asada-kun? Why are you here? Where is everyone in the broadcasting club?"

Chika looked around, realizing that Shinichi was the only person in the broadcasting room.

"I asked them to go to the auditorium, and this is my territory for now."

Shinichi crossed his legs and assumed a boss-like position.

Chika entered and closed the door.

She seemed very familiar with the broadcasting room. She walked to the monitor screen with ease and began pressing the keyboard.

The camera quickly switched and focused on the principal's face as he shouted at the students below.

"Ah, nose hairs!"

"What are you looking at..." Shinichi shifted his gaze from the nose hairs on the screen to the tiny back in front of him.

Ignoring him, Chika continued to operate the surveillance camera with great interest.

"Wow~ The principal is this old, but there are no wrinkles on his skin. I guess he uses children's urine on his face every day, right?"

"Traditional remedies like that are long outdated, okay?"

Chika turned around with a horrified expression on her face: "Eh? Could he have turned into a virgin..."

"It's not a gender issue!"

Shinichi complained loudly.

Why did she have to talk dirty to him in a place like this?

The chaos impact was really bad.

"It's been so long since I've heard Asada-kun complain, I've missed it~" Instead, Chika laughed.

"This won't take long, will it?" Shinichi sighed helplessly.

"Although I don't know how many days, it will definitely take a long time!" After saying this, Chika pouted, "I've been forced by my dad to prepare for exams recently, and I don't have time to play with Asada-kun... It seems like my reputation has long disappeared in the gaming industry."

Shinichi raised an eyebrow and teased: "What, does the pink witch want to return to the world?"

Chika hesitated, shook her head slightly, and leaned on the broadcasting platform with a lonely face.

"Forget it, leave the rest to the young ones..."

"I'm no longer in the world, so don't let the world spread my name."

"Who will take the name of this era?"

"...Hmph, thinking about it like this, it's quite fascinating."

Shinichi couldn't help but laugh a few times.

After that, they casually chatted about the current situation.

Since they usually used LINE or Twitter to chat with each other, even though they hadn't met for a few days, they still remained familiar with each other. For a while, the broadcasting room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Suddenly, Chika dropped her relaxed and cheerful tone and became slightly more serious.

"Asada-kun, can we talk business now?"

Shinichi looked at her, and his sitting posture gradually became more formal.

"What exactly is the 'Heart Hunting Festival' event? I've been very interested since I heard about it."

"But when I tried to find out the truth through my connections, Kaguya-san said, 'This is a surprise prepared for you. If you don't want her to do useless work, just hold on until the day of the school festival.'"

"Not only Kaguya-san, but Shirogane-kun, Ishigami-kun, and Iino said the same."

"That's why I've been trying my best to hold on until now. Even to avoid accidentally knowing what preparations you were making, I intentionally avoided you recently. I don't care which girl you're fooling around or having sex with in the student council room."

This is why Chika didn't show up... Well, the two of them haven't met recently.

She's not one to follow rules, even though her father forces her to study, she still has plenty of time to come and play and chat before and after school.

What's holding her back is what everyone in the student council calls a "surprise."

"I've been holding it in for a long time, and I can't hold it in anymore."

Her hands clutching at her ample collar, her cheeks flushed, and her breath slightly quickened.

Chika looked at him hopefully, her whole body trembling with excitement.

"Hey, Asada-kun, you won't disappoint me, will you?"

Shinichi replied confidently: "Of course not, I'll satisfy you well."

He shifted his attention to the monitor screen. The principal had finished speaking, and the school song would soon be sung. It's time to end the opening ceremony and start the "special event."

Shifting the chair in front of the microphone, Shinichi opened the script he knew and set it aside. He adjusted his voice, and at the same time, said to Chika:

"Chika-senpai, do you still remember what you said when everyone decided to nominate me as president?"
