Meant to be

"Is that true?"

On his phone, Ishigami is talking with her mother.

"Yeah. Your father has a friend in the Nakiri Family. Your father and his friend decided to engage you two before you were born. Recently, they talked about it since both of you are now in high school so they decided to let her live with you from now on. Ah! —I need to go now, my food is gonna burn. I love you, son. Goodbye. Also, don't give me a grandchild for now. Bye!"

"Wait, mother—"

*Tut Tut

Her mother dropped the call.

"So did you get the answer you want?"

Behind him, Alice walks to his room.

"This room… It's very nostalgic."

"Huh? Why are you talking like this is not the first time you visit here?"

Her expression becomes random as she looks away.

"You're right. I just say that since from now on we will be living under one roof."

He wanted to retort that her answer didn't make sense but he decided not to voice out and let her go.

Then she suddenly lay on his bed and started to smell his pillow.

"What are you doing?"

He said while trying to take his pillow from her.

"Since we're now engaged, we will start to sleep together starting today."

"No!"

Ishigami immediately retorts to her.

As a man who already tasted the forbidden fruit in his past life, he might not hold back himself and let the wolf inside of him, devour this girl.

However, if he had done that, then there would have been no change from his past life.

He wanted to change the fact he would make a move to a girl as long as his lust drove overload and instead, drive by his love.

So no matter what happens he needs to not sleep with her tonight.

…

1 am.

'F*CK!'

Despite his determination, he couldn't defeat her in terms of argument so right now, using all of his will, he tries not to be conscious about her and just sleep.

Unfortunately, he couldn't sleep because of his circumstances.

By the way, they are just sleeping.

Not that kind of sleeping, if you know what I mean.

…

At school.

*snore

Finally, he can have a peace.

Sleeping in the class, Ishigami manages to skip two subjects, math, and self-study.

Alice who currently sits beside him, looks at his sleeping face.

She pokes his cheeks and she smiles.

Many boys who see her smile are immediately mesmerized and girls who see this feel envy because not only she is more beautiful than them, but she can also poke Ishigami's cheek without eye batting.

This made the whole class think that they were truly made for each other.

However, it doesn't mean that they wanted the two of them to end up each other.

Unfortunately, the fact that they know their relationship despite some are not fully convinced about this fiancee thing between them, made the boys who wanted to pursue Alice retreat their intention.

…

Meanwhile, in Kaguya's classroom.

The current subject is self-study so most students decided to chat rather than study.

A circle happened to form near Kaguya's seat while she was reading a book.

The circle talks about the happenings of their life until the subject tackles Ishigami.

"Eh! Are you serious about that?"

"Yeah. I'm serious. I heard that Ishigami has a fiancee and that person is a recent transfer student in their class. "

"Fiancee? but he is just a high school student?"

"What are you, naive? Almost all students here came from an aristocratic family so being engaged before birth or even in high school is not a common occurrence."

"Yeah, I forgot."

"Also, the girl he will marry is such a beauty."

"Really?"

"I'm ashamed and I don't want to admit but even if we combine our beauty, we can't defeat her. No, I think no girl can defeat her beauty in this academy. Adding the fact she has an ideal proportion body of a girl, we can just admit defeat."

*Slam

Suddenly behind them, Kaguya slams the table.

This made the circle look at her silently with a scared expression.

"Sorry."

Kaguya stands up and walks out the door.

Seeing her exiting the classroom, the girls are confused about why she is like that.
