Capítulo 731: Cultivating a Rogue Self
Fragmented memories surface one by one, and newfound information fills the uncertainties that were never anticipated in the beginning.
Reflecting on the present, Chika understands that every seemingly normal and slightly erotic interaction between them is what she yearns for in her heart.
She always refers to herself as a love detective, actually wanting to find her own love.
Eye contact like that, temptations like that, silent understanding like that—
Turns out what she haven't obtained is already owned by someone else.
"If it's like this..."
Chika stares at him with a complex look.
"Asada-kun... are you dating her?"

On a starless night, the lights on the second floor of Shinichi's house are still on.
"It has happened..."
Listening to the cold voice coming from the phone, Shinichi speaks softly.
"Anyway, this issue is related to you, so I wanted to inform you first... I answered that question hesitantly, but before I could explain further, the president came out to smooth things over, and the issue was resolved after everyone was dispersed."
Hayasaka hears the hesitation in his words, and her tone becomes firm.
"Don't mind my feelings. You can do whatever you want. As long as it's not too foolish, I'll support you."
"Hayasaka..." Shinichi holds the phone a bit tighter, "I've made you face a similar situation again, I..."
"Stop it, are you pretending to be someone else?"
"You used many sweet words and retreat tactics to deceive my feelings and made me like you so much that I couldn't resist. But now you're shy and hesitant here?
"Is Secretary-chan more important than me? Is the man who was so arrogant back then just talking nonsense?"
Hayasaka's voice cuts through as if wanting to split him in two.
But Shinichi can hear mockery and seriousness behind those words.
"Idiot, do you know what kind of determination I made to give you my first and only kiss in my life?"
Hayasaka slows down her tone and breathes out helplessly: "If you like her, tell her. If you just want to be friends, keep your distance. Do I need to teach you this? You're almost as foolish as Kaguya-sama."
"...I call it being considerate, not foolish." A slow smile appears on Shinichi's grim face, "If I didn't care about your feelings, I would handle everything on the way back."
"Really?" Hayasaka smiles, and her voice sounds somewhat dangerous.
"This rogue, what are you proud of?"
Shinichi answers firmly.
"I am very proud that I like a beautiful, gentle, kind, and slightly tsundere maid."
Hayasaka stays silent for a moment, then faintly releases a series of quiet laughter.
"Hmph, if I didn't know you well, I might be fooled again. Let me ask, do you not care about the feelings of other 'beautiful girls'?"
Shinichi shakes his head in the air.
"You're the one calling me now, Ai-pon."
"Pfft, hahaha, what's that name? Sounds boring."
Hayasaka can't hold back her laughter, but she stops it after a while, and her voice returns to its usual calm composure.
"So, what are you going to do?"
No hesitation in his response.
"Let her see the true face of a rogue."
"Don't you think it's cruel to leave the choice to her?"
"Then let me choose for her."
"Who do you think you are? Can you bear such responsibility?"
"Maybe, maybe not," Shinichi says with a smile, "But it's better than letting someone you care about wander and become so lost that the person you like always misses her."
"If we don't say it out loud, how can we decide whether we'll be friends, enemies, strangers, or family in the future?"
Hayasaka also smiles.
"The first sentence is good, but the last sentence is really annoying."
"Thanks for the critique, I'm aware of this."
Hayasaka asks again: "Do you think Kaguya-sama will agree with your approach?"
Shinichi smiles wholeheartedly.
"Haha, of course not possible. No one wants to see a rogue trying to attack her friends, right?"
"If it were me, I would put him in a cement bucket and drown him in Tokyo Bay tonight, so he can't see the sunrise tomorrow!"
After saying this, for some reason, Shinichi always feels like someone is staring at him outside the window.
The night is still peaceful, and he's alone inside and outside the room.
Thinking in his heart not to scare himself, Shinichi sits back on the bed and continues talking to Hayasaka on the phone.
"Whether she agrees or not, all I care about is the person I like. If you're still here, I have a reason to act."
Hayasaka intentionally makes her voice long and fluctuates, and she speaks with a tone that is somewhat dangerous and flat: "Wow~ You dare to treat the eldest lady of the Shinomiya family as nothing. Your courage makes me admire you so much~"
Shinichi cooperates with her and speaks with pretended disdain.
"What's the use? Not long ago, I made Shinomiya Senpai silent and afraid to act recklessly. I let her see my determination to value everyone, and she was very impressed..."
Hayasaka holds back her laughter and speaks seriously.
"What if I tell you she's right next to us and listening?"
Shinichi responds calmly.
"So what?
"She fell in love with Shirogane Senpai, a couple made in heaven, a natural pair, a talented man and a beautiful woman. She was born into a large family but has a noble mind like a lotus that can emerge from the mud. She can be called an ordinary academic hegemon with evil eyes and a destined wife of the student council president."
"Do you think Shinomiya Kaguya-sama will do something to me for such a verbal violation?"
He snorts: "Don't underestimate one of my most respected seniors! Whether 'Shirogane Kaguya' Senpai is listening or not, what I want to say won't change at all!"
"..."
Hayasaka is silent for a moment, then applauds admiringly.
"Really, you once again make me see the lower limits of human moral integrity and the upper limits of flattery skills... By the way, you make me wonder for the first time if I'm being controlled by hypnosis to fall in love with you."
"Cough..."
Shinichi scratches his cheek, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Sorry, I also have this self-awareness..."
△
After hanging up the phone, Shinichi throws it aside and lies on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Fujiwara Senpai..."
Shinichi mutters her name in his heart, recalling the extremely complex expression on the pink-haired girl's face when they parted at the family restaurant.
Chika always expresses her thoughts and has a different and strong personality; sometimes lively and noisy like a child, and sometimes showing a different adult side.
She can be shy, malicious, firm, and calculating.
Cuteness, large breasts, and a childish appearance are the second things. Chika's interesting personality and bright smile are her most attractive traits.
So, is Shinichi interested in her?
Without a doubt.
So, does he like her?
"..."
Shinichi opens his eyes in silence and stares at the ceiling light for a long time.
Only after drowsiness sets in, he turns off the bedroom light with the remote control and slowly closes his eyes.
"Next time we meet, will it happen during the elections..."
When the time comes, he has to tell her all those words...

"How could you wait so long?"
Standing in the sunlight at 10 in the morning, Shinichi brings a box of fruits and gazes at the three-story separate building in front of him. Although not large, its appearance is more beautiful compared to other houses.
The Fujiwara family's house number is displayed on the wall.
This is Chika's residence born into a political family. Her great-grandfather was a former prime minister, and her uncle is the current provincial minister. She is known as a musical genius since she was young.
Saturday, September 20.
Shinichi asked for Chika's address from Hayasaka, and early in the morning, he came to her door dressed as if on a date.
No appointment was made, and no preparations were made to select a political family.
He just came to Chika directly with a box of fruits for a visit, wanting to tell her everything about last night.
"Really, at this age, I'm still impulsive like a young person..."
Shinichi pretends to be mature, laughs at himself, pats his trembling legs, and takes several deep breaths in front of the door.
Then, without giving time for hesitation, he firmly presses the doorbell next to him.
"—Fujiwara Senpai, I surrender!"
Of course, he didn't say that.
After ringing the doorbell, Shinichi stands obediently in front of the door, waiting for a response from inside.
