CHAPTER 170: IS FUJIWARA CHIKA AN M?! [BONUS CHAPTER 3/5]

Chapter 170: Is Fujiwara Chika an M?!

"I’m going to die!" Hayasaka Ai rushed to the bathroom at top speed, turned on the faucet, and splashed water on her face. Looking up at herself in the mirror, she raised her neck and caressed her delicate throat. While she was in that club, she had a sense of déjà vu, as if she could be slit at any moment. Besides that, she also felt like she was being watched by a monster and a feeling of being frozen all over. If she stayed there any longer, she would die at any moment! Thinking of the gazes that seemed to want to devour her alive, the calm and collected all-around maid Hayasaka Ai couldn’t help but shiver.

"Young Miss... if you don’t cherish me, I might die any day now." Hayasaka Ai sighed, her eyes unfocused. Negative emotions gushed out like well water. Slap! Slap! She slapped her face hard with cold water, cheering herself up again.

"The plan to investigate Ren through the people around him can be shelved." None of those people are easy to mess with. "Then I can only approach him directly." Sigh, for the Young Miss’s happiness, she really works herself to death. Before that, there was also a task to find a house to complete. So tired! So tired! So tired!

At this moment, Ren was in the Student Council. As for what he was doing... he was resting with his eyes closed. Well, in reality, he was diligently studying the King of Chronos’s ability.

The King of Chronos is the power to manipulate time. At the lv6 level, he can, with a single thought, extract a region of time from the timeline. Then he can arbitrarily manipulate the time of this region or a certain object, such as with simple uses like Time Stop, Time Acceleration, and Time Deceleration. More advanced uses include Time Reversal, Time Travel, Time Stretch, and Time Cut, but his proficiency in using the advanced methods is not yet high enough.

For example, with Time Reversal within the scope of Earth, he can currently only reverse time by a few minutes. If the scope is reduced, the effect will become stronger. Time Travel is also only about a few minutes into the past or future. "The ability of time is indeed very strong, but to unleash its true power, a higher level is necessary." Ren felt regret in his heart. Lv6 was still not enough; his abilities now included another major points consumer. If one day he could become strong enough to integrate his abilities, he wouldn’t have all these worries.

"Hmm? What does Chika want to do?" Even though Ren had his eyes closed, he clearly sensed Chika stealthily approaching him. Currently, only he and Chika were in the Student Council.

Hmm, is he asleep? Chika leaned in and peered at Ren; he was still motionless with his eyes closed. She approached little by little, light-footed. Upon reaching Ren, she looked at his handsome, serene face and puffed out her cheeks. She mumbled softly, "It’s all your fault. You make me get looked at like a pervert by Fujiwara Toyomi and Fujiwara Moeha every day." Ever since that incident, Fujiwara Toyomi and Fujiwara Moeha had been looking at her strangely. It made her unable to hold her head high at home.

"Revenge! I must take harsh revenge!" Chika at this moment was like someone who had eaten the guts of a bear and a leopard, completely forgetting how she was often taught a lesson by Ren for her pranks.

"Clang!" Chika raised her holy sword high—a marker pen! Opening the cap, she moved closer to Ren’s face. "I must draw a big turtle!" She had a firm goal in her heart. But as she got closer to Ren’s cheek, her gaze involuntarily fell upon his lips. She pursed her lips... somewhat wanting to experience a kiss... Although she had given her first kiss away, it seemed she hadn’t experienced a truly sweet kiss yet. "Wah! What am I thinking!" As soon as the thought appeared, Fujiwara Chika quickly shook her head. Now, she must take revenge! Harsh revenge!

"What do you want to do?" "I want to draw a big turtle on Ren’s face!" Chika answered subconsciously. After answering, she immediately realized something was wrong. That voice just now seemed to be Ren’s! She looked up and saw Ren looking at her with a half-smile.

"Wah!" Fujiwara Chika was scared stiff and immediately turned to run away. However, her right hand, holding the marker pen, was caught squarely by Ren, making it impossible for her to escape. Then, Ren extended his demonic claw.

"Tell me, will you dare to do it again?" One hand squeezed Fujiwara Chika’s chubby little face, pressing it repeatedly, making her make a strange pouting expression.

"Wuwuwuwu!" Fujiwara Chika’s eyes welled up with tears, but she couldn’t say anything because her mouth was being squeezed. Why did it turn out this way? Ren, of course, clearly knew her actions, but he didn’t stop her. Instead, when she made her move, he caught her red-handed. This gave him a perfect reason to tease her. Now he was deliberately playing with her.

Fujiwara Chika was also strange. She knew she would be teased for doing such things, yet she continued to do them in the Student Council with relish every time. Seeing that he had teased her enough, Ren released his hand from her face and gently lifted her chin instead. His face suddenly came close to hers, with a fierce expression. "Do you dare to do it again?"

Ren’s sudden proximity startled Chika for a moment. But she quickly pouted, looking like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water. "Of course!"

"Tsk, in that case, I’ll use my ultimate move." With that, Ren slowly approached Chika.

"!!!" Chika was startled. Is... is he going to kiss her? Thump-thump-thump-thump! Her heart began to beat faster. As Ren drew closer, his hot breath brushed against her cheek. Chika actually trembled and closed her eyes.

"???" Ren looked bewildered. I didn’t restrain her at all; she could have clearly dodged by taking a step back. This expression and her drum-like heartbeat. Ren, a seasoned veteran of romance, could confirm that she had feelings for him. Deliberately teasing him every day, letting him bully her—she definitely had a masochistic streak!

Having reached this conclusion, Ren naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity. He pressed his lips directly onto hers. To his surprise, Chika even took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck. Then followed a deep, passionate kiss, completely lost in the moment.

"I wonder if the President is thinking of me in the Student Council?" Kaguya fantasized, opening the door to the Student Council room.

"!!!" The scene inside made her freeze on the spot. The President and Chika... were kissing! Why? I was here first! Kaguya didn’t know how to react; she was a bit flustered. To be honest, having already gone through the simulated life game with Chika, she had long anticipated something like this. Because she knew very well that Ren was a very responsible person and would never abandon them. But now it seemed only she was falling behind.

Noticing Kaguya’s presence, Ren tightened his grip on the hand he held. Fujiwara Chika opened her eyes in confusion, then met Kaguya’s vacant gaze... Oh no!

"So, after you played a prank, the President deliberately bullied you?" Kaguya sat majestically on the sofa, while Chika stood before her, head bowed and looking wronged. However, her face was flushed, and her eyes were still signaling to Ren.

Ren smiled faintly; this girl still knew how to be shy. Seeing that she had received plenty of benefits just now, and feeling the warmth of her hand in his, Ren spoke up for her.

"That’s right. Chika wanted to draw a turtle on my face, and I caught her, so I punished her a little."

"Punished..." Kaguya’s expression was complex. Was that really a punishment? In reality, Kaguya’s heart was already clear. She had seen Chika’s initiative just now. If the President hadn’t reminded her, she wouldn’t have known what the passionate Chika would have done. Kaguya sighed, "Since the President says so, I’ll forgive you." Chika immediately brightened upon receiving forgiveness.

Ren’s expression, however, grew even more peculiar and strange. Wasn’t this a private matter? Why did she need to be forgiven? Chika looked as if she had been granted a great pardon.

After a moment’s thought, he used his Psychic ability to ask Chika in her mind: "Do you like me?"

Chika flinched, looking around nervously.

"What’s wrong?" Kaguya looked at her.

Chika quickly shook her head. "Nothing, a breeze came in, it’s cold." Kaguya glanced at the wide-open window and nodded slightly. She continued to ponder the matter between the two of them.

"Don’t look around, I’m communicating with you using my inner voice."

Fujiwara Chika stole a glance at Ren, then lowered her head and muttered in her mind, "How could I like you? Idiot!"

Ren squinted at her. "You were very proactive just now, you know."

"I..." Chika still wanted to argue.

But Ren pressed on. "I like Chika, and I’ll be responsible for Chika. Can you tell me your answer?"

"..." Chika didn’t answer. She actually thought a lot in her heart. Ever since she first gave herself to Ren, her mindset had been changing daily. She didn’t know if there was something wrong with her. Every day, she increasingly craved Ren’s attention. Every day, she increasingly craved being bullied by Ren. It was like the legendary masochistic state. Therefore, she couldn’t confirm whether her feelings were genuine love or simply a masochistic tendency. Chika was very confused and perplexed by this. Yet, her body couldn’t help but draw closer to Ren, like a moth to a flame.

Her thoughts were completely known to Ren at this moment. He hadn’t expected that Chika’s fear was actually about becoming a pervert. This truly made him laugh and cry at the same time. So he took the initiative to say in her mind, "Chika-chan, whether it’s masochism or being a pervert, I will accept it unconditionally."

"Rather, what I like is this real Chika." These words were excellent, almost instantly shattering Chika’s conflicted mental wall.

She glared at Ren in embarrassment and annoyance, huffing in her mind, "It’s not a masochistic state!"

"Alright, whatever you say." Ren indulged her, then pressed, "Can you give me an answer?"

This time, Chika became decisive. Her tone in her mind was indignant. "Hmph! It’s all your fault! Since I gave you my first time, I can’t marry anyone else, I can only marry you, you scoundrel!" But Ren could feel intense happiness from her inner voice.
