Meeting on the roof

"You were deceived by him twice, and you tried to deceive him but failed."

Under her question just now, Chika told them the content and general process of the competition, and then Hayasaka delivered the closing speech.

"Just that."

Even though Chika didn't want to admit it, she couldn't help it, it was a fact.

For some reason, Hayasaka felt a little funny when she thought of Chika being tricked by Ren.

"Are you laughing at me?" Chika glanced at her.

"No, I was just thinking about happy things."

Hayasaka covered her mouth and suppressed her smile.

"By the way, do you still remember the candy I gave you yesterday morning?" Chika remembered something and asked.

"Remember."

The candy Chika gave her was quite sour, and it took her a long time to recover.

"I also gave the candy to Kamikawa-kun," Chika said a little depressed, "But his expression didn't change at all, just like you."

"Oh really?"

Hayasaka feels she has obtained other information that can prove that Ren is not an ordinary person.

After all, after eating sour candy like that, it was impossible for an ordinary person to remain as calm as her.

Unless Ren had problems with his sense of taste, or he had gone through harsh training like her.

Her personal guess was more towards the latter.

"Yeah, I was quite surprised at that time. I didn't expect you and him to eat it so easily."

Chika sighed, then changed the subject and asked Hayasaka: "Don't you feel sour when you eat it?"

"When I ate it before, it was very sour."

Hayasaka glanced at her and didn't know why she asked about what happened a few days ago for no reason, but still answered: "It's still very sour. I tried hard to hold it in."

"Eh?"

Chika looked shocked.

"This means that you also feel very sour when you eat it. Did you hold him back by force?"

"Um."

Hayasaka felt something was wrong, but she still answered.

"Then in that case, you should be considered deceived by me?" Chika realized this problem, "You have eaten it and you feel very sour."

Hayasaka doesn't know whether she should admit it or not, she always feels that if she admits it, something bad will happen.

So, Hayasaka chose to remain silent.

As long as she doesn't speak, there's no need to worry about being trapped by Chika.

Chika saw that she wasn't speaking, so she continued speaking on her own: "Since you're holding back by force, that means Kamikawa-kun is probably holding back by force as well."

Then, as long as she made him admit that he felt sour when he ate it, that meant she had successfully deceived him.

That way her record against Ren changed from three losses to one win and two losses, it could be said that there was a win or a loss.

Just thinking about it like this, Chika felt like she had found motivation.

Then take advantage of the opportunity when he asks her out in the afternoon and let him admit that he was actually hurt at first too!

She didn't want to be blamed for losing all three games.

······

Time passed and it was afternoon, on the top floor of the teaching building.

"How did you get the key to the roof?"

Seeing Chika take out a key from somewhere and open the roof door that was originally locked easily, Hayasaka looked a little confused.

She remembered that the roof lock was not managed by the school?

Why does Chika have a key?

"You don't need to worry about it."

After Chika opened the roof door, she put the key away and stepped onto the roof.

"Okay."

Seeing that she didn't want to answer, Hayasaka didn't say any more and followed Chika to the roof.

"I'll just hide here."

Hayasaka quickly chose the place where she wanted to hide later. Location behind the stairs which is the only way to the roof.

Generally speaking, as long as Ren didn't come specifically to take a look, he would never find anyone hiding here.

Since it was Chika's one-sided deal, it was impossible for Hayasaka to appear on the roof naturally.

What if there were extra people around and Ren didn't want to say anything?

Therefore, they deliberately arrived early so that Hayasaka could hide and eavesdrop.

"Okay." After seeing the location, Chika immediately agreed.

"Then you hide here and don't be discovered by Kamikawa-kun when he comes."

"Um."

······

After a while, the roof door opened, and Ren entered.

Originally he planned to come later in the day, but Fumino said it was best to come early to make an appointment.

So, he arrived at the rooftop fifteen minutes early.

What he didn't expect was that Chika arrived earlier than him.

"Good afternoon, Kamikawa-kun."

Seeing him coming, Chika took the initiative to greet him.

"Good afternoon."

As soon as Ren walked, he realized that someone was hiding and eavesdropping, but he didn't choose to reveal her.

Because ordinary people cannot detect that someone is eavesdropping.

"So, Kamikawa-kun, I was wondering why you came to see me today?" Chika went straight to the topic.

Facing her question, Ren didn't panic at all.

He had expected something like this to happen beforehand, so he asked Fumino to help him think about the answer first.

Of course he still used his friend's name.

He wouldn't be exposed in something like that.

"I want to ask Fujiwara-san something," Ren said the answer he had written down.

"What happened?" Chika asked.

Even though she always said that this was Ren's letter of challenge to her, she still knew that the possibility of this happening was low.

But even so, she managed to think of a way and knew how to deal with Ren.

Now, she can prove her strength in front of Hayasaka!

"Please don't tell anyone else about my true appearance."

Ren looked directly into Chika's eyes and slowly said these words.

When Hayasaka who was hiding behind the stairs, heard these words, her eyes immediately widened.

Sure enough, there was definitely something wrong with Ren's actual appearance.

Otherwise, there was no need for him to specially come to Chika and ask her to keep this matter a secret.

"If this is the case, of course," Chika said with a smile, "However, you need me to answer a question. You can't lie. You have to tell the truth."

"What is the question?" Ren decided to listen to the question first and then decide whether to answer it or not.

If it involved some privacy issues, it would be absolutely impossible for him to answer them.
