Chapter 75 - Summer plan and another consultation.

Chapter 75

A month before summer vacation. Right now I am sitting on the sofa at the student council's office with Kaori and Chisa beside me. In front of us, Chika was sitting while heartily eating the cookies she takes from the table. Ishigami sat beside her playing a simulation game on his PSV.

Beside the sofa, Kaguya seiza on the floor covered with a blanket. She was writing calligraphy of her club objective after summer ends. She said it was going to be displayed on her club dojo.

"Come to think of it. Next month is the summer vacation, huh. How about us go somewhere together?" Kaori suggested.

"Yay!! I want to go somewhere together too!" Chika excitedly said.

"Going somewhere together, huh...Yeah, I want to try it once..." Kaguya stopped her writing and said in a low voice.

"Oh, but we can only go for a day because Shiori and Ayase's schedule is quite full this summer. I also have some photoshoot schedule while Chisa has her part-time." I said.

"Yes, I���m sorry, but my boss already made the schedule. I can't take many days off at once. Besides that, I also need to help my father in the shop." Chisa apologetically said.

"It's fine, Chisa. As long as you have fun doing what you likes," I caressed Chisa's head and smilingly said.

"Hehe..." Chisa smiled joyfully when I caressed her head.

"Then, where should we go?" Kaguya casually asked.

"How about going to the summer festival? There is a big festival on the last day of summer." Ishigami suggested.

"That's a good choice. The festival will be held at 24 august, I think Shiori and Ayase can participate too. Can you take a day off at that time, Chisa?" I said then asked.

"Nn! It's actually one of my days off on 24 August." Chisa answered joyfully.

"I will tell my mom to let me be here on that day! Cotton candy, Shooting game, and fireworks! I'm looking forward to that!" Chika enthusiastically said. Kaguya suddenly looked extremely interested with stars in her eyes when she heard fireworks.

"There is also Goldfish catch, Takoyaki, and Yukata!" Kaori added with a smile on her face.

"Then it's decided. You're going too, right Kaguya?" I smilingly nodded and asked.

"If you guys are going, of course, I will too." Kaguya casually answered but the excitement in her eyes can't be hidden from me.

Then, the girls talked about what Yukata they're going to wear on that day. Naturally, Ishigami and I will also wear Yukata since it is a rare chance to wear it. When we're merrily talking about the summer festival, someone knocked on the door.

Kaori stands up and went to open the door. When the door opened there is a girl with short dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and double-banded hairpin on the left side.

"Hello, do you have a matter to discuss with the student council?" Kaori said with a gentle smile.

"Anoo...I heard the student council also taking consultations from the students..." The girl politely said.

After that time with Tsubasa, seems like the rumor about the student council will take any consultation from the students started to spread. Since that day, some students have come here to consult us about anything.

"Another consultation, huh..." Kaguya sighed and said.

"Well isn't it fine? It's not like they asked us to help them doing something hard anyway." I smilingly said.

"Agreed." Ishigami nodded and said.

"Fine... Please let her come, Kaori-san." Kaguya said.

"Please come in," Kaori said with a smile.

"Thank you, Miyazono-san. Excuse me..."

Ishigami and Chika went standing beside the sofa to let the girl sit. Kaguya, who already finished her calligraphy, also stands up and sits beside Chisa and me.

"How about you introduces yourself," I said.

"Yes! My name is Kashiwagi Nagisa from class 2B." Nagisa politely introduced herself. When Kaguya and I heard her name, we remember about the previous consultation from Tsubasa who was Nagisa's boyfriend right now.

"Then, Kashiwagi-san. What do you want to consult?" Kaguya politely asked.

"It's actually like this... I want to know how to gently break up with someone." Nagisa said with a hesitant expression. Chika suddenly ran out of the room after hearing what Nagisa said.

"Hmm... you look hesitant when saying that. It is possible you didn't want to break up with your boyfriend because of hate?" Kaguya wonderingly asked.

"That's true...How about you tells us the story first." I nodded and said.

"A month ago, someone from my class asked me out with kabedon. Because of the atmosphere and I thought he looks cool at that time, I accepted his confession.

But after that, I don't know how to talk with him without being awkward. It made us more distanced than before. I felt bad for him and think maybe if it's like this I think it's better to break up.." Nagisa explained with a sad expression.

"I see... But you didn't hate him, right?" Kaori asked.

"No... It is true I thought he was cool when confessed to me. But I don't know if this is love or not..." Nagisa shakes her head and said.

"It me-" Before Kaguya completed her sentence, Chika opened the door wearing a red detective hat while breathing heavily as if she just runs.

"If it's about romance, please leave it to love detective, Chika," Chika said with a confident expression then walk to the sofa.

"Imagine if he found another girlfriend without telling you first," Chika said with her hand holding a smoke pipe.

"... Somehow I feel very unpleasant..." Nagisa frowned and said.

"It means you actually like him too. The way it became unpleasant because he didn't say anything to you first was the proof." Chika said with a gentle smile.

"Who are you?! I can't believe Fujiwara-senpai can give such good advice!" Ishigami shoutingly said.

"Ishigami-kun..." Chika angrily looked at Ishigami then made slapstick from a big paper. She went behind Ishigami and hit his head many times with the slapstick.

"I see, I thought I was a cold woman who can't like the boy who bravely confessed to her. That's right! There is no way I accepted if I don't like him. But, I don't know how to talk with him without being awkward..." Nagisa said while ignoring the comedic duo.

"Don't worry, Kashiwagi-san. Just talk about what you want to say to him. It might be awkward at first, but if you like each other, I'm sure it will be smooth after that." Chisa who silently listening suddenly said.

"Indeed. For example, How about asking what each other like first" Kaguya added.

"Yes, the first step always need bravery. The road after that might not be always smooth sailing, but if your heart already decided it, just go and walks. Because if you don't, you might regret it." I wisely said.

"Hee... What cool word to say." Kaori smirked and said.

"I see... Thank you, everyone. I will try talking with him right away, please wish me luck!" Nagisa said with a determined expression then went out of the student council office.

"I hope it ends well for them." Chika, who just finished hitting Ishigami said.

"Don't worry, I'm certain it will." I smilingly said.

Later we came to know their relationship smoothly progressed and they became so lovey-dovey even in the school.

It was a week before the summer vacation started. I am sitting in seiza at the Dojo while Shishou was in front of me. It's been months since I mastered the Niten Ichi-Ryu except for the last technique.

Even though Shishou didn't know what kind of technique is the last, from the ancient book Musashi wrote, the technique was so mystical it displayed illusions of Ashura behind the swordsman. But the last technique required me to comprehend the nothingness first.

"Shishou, I need to meet your daughter to talk about the nothingness." I thoughtfully said.

"I understand. Incidentally, my daughter just called me yesterday and said she will be staying somewhere for a month." Shishou nodded and said.

"Where is it?" I asked.

"America."
