Even Chika who loved to play the most, only played for half an hour before she contracted the quiet and boring atmosphere on the bus, curled up in her seat and fell asleep.
Iino and Ishigami had been fighting for a long time because they didn't want to sit next to each other, but when they got off the bus, they were embarrassed because they accidentally fell asleep next to each other.
As for Shirogane and Kaguya, both of them looked excited. Even though they acted as if nothing had happened, there was a subtle change in the atmosphere.
After Rui woke up, she glanced at the blanket and the turned off AC vent. Without saying anything, she got out of the bus with Shinichi.
They dragged their luggage and, led by Hayasaka walked along the path towards the beachside villa.
"It feels like a foreign resort." Kei sighed, "Is this really Japan?"
"Yes, but the specific location is confidential and I can't tell you," Hayasaka nodded and said with a smile under the astonished gazes of others, "Don't worry, we are not hindering your freedom of accessing the Internet and making calls. After all, here it cannot be detected by satellites and cannot be found using online maps."
Shinichi looked at his phone to make sure she was talking nonsense.
Obviously in the islands outside of Honshu... Wait, when did they cross the sea? Undersea tunnel?
He accidentally fell asleep and didn't even realize it...
While admiring the scenery along the way, they soon arrived in front of a two-story villa.
Hayasaka opened the door and led everyone through the living room and up to the second floor.
During this period, Shirogane brothers and sisters' eyes were shocked. It seemed like it was the first time they had seen a sea view villa with magnificent decoration and rich style.
As for the Fujiwara sister duo, as the offspring of a diplomat, the daughter of a Supreme Court judge and an employee of an international humanitarian aid organization, the group of rich kids who went abroad every year was naturally not too surprised.
Chika even commented eloquently: "This isn't the last time I've visited, but it's still quite beautiful. This is like my grandfather's villa."
Shinichi was more than prepared for how rich the Shinomiya family was, and he was no longer surprised.
Rui didn't care. As she looked around, her eyes accidentally fell on Shinichi's back. Her hand holding the trunk handle tightened, and her expression was complicated.
Stopping in front of each door, Hayasaka spoke.
"Even though the room is enough for one person, it's rare for everyone to hang out together. It would be a shame to miss events like all-night talks or pillow fights. At the same time, it is also to avoid 'various accidents' from happening..."
"So men will live in one room and women in one room, sorry. "
She took out the key and opened the door while Ishigami complained, "It's better to say this is normal."
After discussing with each other, the men and women first went into the room to put their luggage. After putting it away, they gathered in the living room with the things they needed for going to the beach later to discuss their next plans.
"How much is this room..."
Shirogane put his backpack in a corner and after observing the surrounding environment.
Both the bed, table and cupboard are still very new. All necessary equipment is available. A small refrigerator even contains various kinds of drinks, juices, iced desserts.
He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
After all, this was just one of the insignificant properties the Shinomiya family owned.
And with all his wealth, Shirogane probably couldn't even afford a single bed here.
"Don't show that expression, President, Shinomiya Senpai doesn't want to see it."
Shinichi walked past him, saw his somewhat ugly expression, and whispered.
Deliberately bringing them to a private beach and doing something like this to show off her wealth would deepen Shirogane's sense of inferiority, and he would definitely realize the identity gap between himself and Kaguya.
Then why did Kaguya take the initiative to make this suggestion?
Because she believes Shirogane can handle this pressure.
Thinking of Kaguya's beautiful face, Shirogane straightened up.
"Thank you, Asada." His tone was full of enthusiasm and firmness.
"You're welcome, I'm a 'spy'." Shinichi just smiled.
"President, you have to remember that no matter how rich her family is, what you covet is her body and soul."
"Can't you explain it in a nice way?"
Shirogane's cheeks twitched and became slightly red.
After all that needed to be said, Shinichi left Shirogane and walked towards Ishigami who had been watching from the side since the beginning.
"President, is he okay?" He asked worriedly.
Shinichi shook his head: "It's okay. The experience value continues to increase. You will soon be able to defeat the Demon King."
"You guys sometimes use strange metaphors…" Ishigami trailed off, "So, the president really is…"
"Very fitting, isn't it?" Shinichi seemed to think of something interesting, and couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing him smile, Ishigami smiled in relief.
"That's right. Although I've had this feeling for a long time... It would be nice if those two people could get results before winter vacation."
Shinichi's smile suddenly disappeared.
"Ishigami, you don't blame us, right?"
The thing about keeping him out of the conversation.
A sensitive man like Ishigami who had few friends, would definitely be very worried about this, but would not dare say it directly and would only endure it in silence.
After all, there were only three boys in the student council, and there were a lot of things to worry about when hanging out with girls. If Shinichi and Shirogane exclude Ishigami, then this place that originally made people feel safe and nostalgic will become somewhat exclusive.
Only in the student council room, Ishigami felt that he was not alone.
"After all, it's natural not to talk nonsense about Shinomiya Senpai."
Ishigami tapped his shoulder with his fist.
"Seriously, don't underestimate me! I am one year older than you in terms of student council qualifications. Why are you only a 'junior' to worry about it?"
"Worry? I don't have much time," Shinichi sneered, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried that your heart will be broken."
Ishigami shook his head.
"Attractive tsunderes nowadays? I won't fall for your little tricks…"
"No, this is what I feel from the bottom of my heart."
"Are you serious? My heart is so broken, you bastard!"
