The woman named Chaos

　　"Ha... I know..."

　　Iino fell silent.

{I knew this kind of thing without you telling me. I guess no one knows that stupid Ishigami better than me...)

　　(And how does a mother feel who apologizes for her child bullying his elementary school classmates...)

　　Iino cleared her throat and said seriously.

　　"Okay, forget about Ishigami for now. Shinomiya Senpai, what happened at that time?"

　　Even though the topic was raised according to instructions, Iino was indeed interested in it, so her curious expression from the bottom of her heart did not make Kaguya question it.

　　"What happened last year… It feels like a long time ago."

　　With a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, and spoke softly.

　　"It's actually no problem. We just made an appointment to attend a nearby fireworks display. I changed into my yukata, and the president and the others were waiting for me at the gathering place. As we were excitedly preparing to go out, I was given orders to stay at home and not go anywhere."

　　Kaguya smiled and spoke in a relaxed tone.

　　"I was so angry and helpless, but I had no choice but to send a message to apologize to everyone, and then complained weakly in bed alone, feeling annoyed and depressed because I couldn't do anything…"

　　Of course, things about rolling around in bed and throwing tantrums while crying wouldn't be mentioned.

　　Thinking about this, she shook her head and continued speaking helplessly.

　　"Luckily, one of my sisters encouraged me and helped me escape from home. I excitedly took a taxi and wanted to get to the meeting point quickly, but I couldn't get there because of the traffic jam, so I had to get off."

　　"It was really uncomfortable running with clogs, but at that time I didn't care about those things. I just want to see them and watch the fireworks with them. No matter how sick I was, I couldn't stop my shocking move."

"Only..."

　　"After that…" Iino realized something.

　　"When I arrived, the fireworks show had already finished, and I didn't see everyone. I went into the alley alone and cried."

　　Kaguya looked at her, her expression gentle and calm.

　　"Just that..."

　　However, Iino lowered her head in sympathy, looking very disappointed.

　　The next moment, she raised her eyes and said excitedly: "No, I remember Shinomiya Senpai succeeded in the end and saw the fireworks with everyone!"

　　Kaguya touched her head and smiled.

　　"Because the president came to see me."

　　When she said these words, the curve of her lips revealed happiness.

　　Seeing this, Iino's heart pounded, and her face became slightly red.

　　"Did the president bring you in front of everyone?"

　　"Yes." Kaguya said softly and cheerfully, "Ishigami-kun and Fujiwara-san called a taxi, and the four of us rushed to Chiba City to watch the fireworks show that was postponed because of the rain. When the car exited the underwater tunnel, I only saw ten seconds left."

　　"The fireworks that everyone really wants to see, it must be very beautiful..."

　　The scene at that time seemed to appear in her mind, and Iino smiled gently with her eyes.

　　Kaguya looked away and scratched her cheek.

　　"Eh... That's how it should be, beautiful..."

　　She couldn't tell Iino that she was attracted by Shirogane's handsome profile at that time. Her eyes were filled with his figure, and she couldn't even hear the sound of fireworks.

　　It's really embarrassing. Everyone tried hard to let her see the fireworks, but in the end, all she could think about was Shirogane...

　　Kaguya touched her left cheek with her right hand and instantly regained her composure.

　　"Shinomiya Senpai?" Iino tilted her head in confusion, but saw nothing in her expression.

　　However, after knowing that this matter had an unsatisfactory but not regrettable ending, she was relieved, and her heart that had been wandering while listening slowly eased.

　　After enjoying that moving feeling for a while, she didn't forget her mission and brought up the topic again.

　　"So after I joined the student council, was the fireworks show in May Shinomiya Senpai's first official participation?"

　　"Um, it's a shame I didn't see it because it was raining, and I was swept away by the audience halfway, but I'm really happy."

　　Kaguya thought about the events of that night when Shirogane took an umbrella with her and told her to go home. Her face flushed again, and she immediately raised her hand to touch her cheek again.

　　She glanced calmly to the side. Luckily, Shirogane happened to go to the toilet. The simple Iino couldn't see anything, so Kaguya nodded.

　　At this time, Iino was also thinking about all the things that happened between her and Ishigami after they separated. She clutched her chest, her heartbeat a little fast, and looked around frantically. Then she remembered that Ishigami should be doing something on the second floor now.

　　"When you think about it, time flies so fast..."

　　Iino wants to follow the mission's instructions to bring the atmosphere to the sad time of spring and autumn, and remember the past.

　　Chika's shrill voice suddenly came out through the microphone.

　　"HEY! Stop looking around and pay attention to my barking! YOYOYO—oh yes!"

　　The atmosphere of silence was broken arbitrarily and arrogantly. The three younger sisters, Kaguya and Iino, who were still present, were shocked and looked towards the corner of the yard.

　　There, Chika installed an electronic keyboard, she wore a hat on her head and sunglasses on her chest.

　　"Look at me like this! Don't walk away"

　　Iino was more shocked than the others.

　　"Fu-Fujiwara-senpai?!"

　　Why hip hop?

　　(How could I bring Shinomiya Senpai into this kind of sad and emotional atmosphere!)

　　"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

　　 Chika seemed to have anticipated their surprised facial expressions. She shook her head three times and raised her chin without giving any explanation.

　　Kaguya felt a bad feeling.

　　She raised her hand to ask.

　　"Sorry, Fujiwara-san..."

　　 Her thumb was placed horizontally on her side, and Chika quickly pulled it down.

　　"Yes, right!"

　　Kaguya: "😐"
