Dealing with the teachers' matters clearly took longer than Yuki Suou had expected.
It wasn't until almost five o'clock that she finally arrived at the "Yuki Suou for Student Council President Temporary Campaign Headquarters."
In her mind, at this hour, Fumiya Jin should have already gone home, and she expected to only find her little maid, Ayano, still revising the speech.
But when she opened the door, the situation surprised her slightly.
There was indeed only one person in the clubroom, but it wasn't Ayano; it was Fumiya Jin.
The window was wide open, and a gust of wind blew through Fumiya Jin's hair, adding a touch of poetic grace to his handsome face as his dark strands danced.
Fumiya Jin was sitting at the desk, surprisingly engrossed in revising a speech with a pen... there were many signs of edits.
"So serious?"
"Eh? Fumiya-san? You're still here?"
Yuki Suou found it a bit amusing. She walked over, glanced at the speech he was revising, and saw that it really was covered in corrections.
"So serious?"
"Since I promised to help, it's only natural I do a proper job," Fumiya Jin said with a straight face.
"Oh?" Yuki Suou tilted her head, giving him a mischievous look.
"I never thought you'd be so dedicated... Zako Fumiya-san. You acted so reluctant before, but deep down, you really wanted to help me, didn't you? What a tsundere boy."
Fumiya Jin really wanted to say that it wasn't mainly for her, but to make it up to Maid-san.
What he'd just done had gone a little too far—it's just that he'd been abstinent for so long, surrounded by so many beautiful girls, especially with Mashiro letting him touch and grope her every day lately. He was bound to accumulate some wicked thoughts and pent-up frustration, which had just happened to erupt at the right moment...
Fumiya Jin was only human, after all; he couldn't control himself one hundred percent all the time... Just now, his little head had definitely gotten the better of him.
However, there was one thing he truly hadn't expected...
In his mind, besides the Sharpness bar, another piece of information he could check at any time had appeared:
[Queen: Ayano Kimishima. Resurrections remaining: 1.]
This made Fumiya Jin's mood a little complicated.
"Think whatever you want," Fumiya Jin said dismissively.
"Ohoho... Still won't admit it?"
Yuki Suou giggled, thinking she had seen through him and left him speechless. She felt quite pleased with herself.
As she laughed, she turned and casually leaned a hand on the table, only to feel a bit of dampness...
"Eh? Why is the table wet?" Yuki Suou asked, confused.
"Did you wipe it?"
"Yeah, I accidentally spilled some tea just now. It got the table, chair, and floor wet, so I found a cloth and wiped it."
"Oh, that explains why the floor is a little wet too..." Yuki Suou didn't think too much of it, but then she sniffed the air.
"But there's a strange smell in this room... That's probably not tea, is it?"
If it had been any other female classmate, she probably wouldn't have been confused at all and would have immediately recognized the smell. After all, Japanese girls tend to mature early in that regard.
But Yuki Suou couldn't.
She'd had a very strict upbringing, had few friends, and the only person she was close to was probably her maid, Ayano.
Both were rather innocent girls. Joking around verbally was one thing, but they had absolutely no practical experience with romantic or physical relationships, so naturally, they wouldn't know what that smell was.
"Oh, a girl with glasses came by earlier to ask for directions. I don't know what kind of perfume she was wearing, but the scent was really strong. She only sat here for a moment, and it filled the whole room."
"Eh... that's an exaggeration... Such a bad-smelling perfume, it must be a cheap knockoff, right?" Yuki Suou couldn't help but comment.
"Maybe it is."
"Alright..." Yuki Suou shrugged. "By the way, where's little Ayano? What's she up to?"
"She seemed unwell just now, so she probably went to the nurse's office," Fumiya Jin said. "I offered to go with her, but she seemed really shy and flatly refused."
Most of those two sentences was actually the truth...
Afterwards, Fumiya Jin had felt a little bad for her and wanted to accompany her to the nurse's office to get some painkillers and take care of her, but she absolutely wouldn't allow it, acting as if she'd take him down with her if he tried to follow...
So he could only obediently stay behind and finish the speech he'd promised her.
It's just that Ayano Kimishima's reason for refusing was not as simple as just being shy.
"Not feeling well again? She didn't sleep well last night... It seems I've given her too much to do lately; she must be exhausted," Yuki Suou said, looking a bit guilty.
"But with her personality, even if I told her to stop now, she wouldn't be able to rest easy... Sigh, once the election is over, I'll have to make sure she gets a good long rest, and then take her on a nice trip."
Fumiya Jin looked at Yuki Suou.
"You two are really close. Not like a typical master and servant."
Yuki Suou showed a hint of pride.
"Of course! We grew up together. We might never be apart our whole lives!"
Fumiya Jin smiled.
"A whole lifetime, huh... What about when you get married?"
Yuki Suou shrugged.
"If I get married, I'll just take her with me."
Fumiya Jin asked, "So she won't get married?"
"Her..." Yuki Suou stroked her fair chin.
"If she really meets a boy she likes, I'll definitely support her in pursuing her true love. But, with her personality, and since she's always sticking close to me... she might have a hard time finding someone."
Then, she suddenly thought of something and shot Fumiya Jin a mischievous look.
"I heard that a long time ago, some families had a custom where if the young lady got married, her personal maid had to go with her as part of the dowry. So... if some lucky guy marries me, he might get a super cute little maid as a bonus... What do you think? Isn't that pretty tempting?"
Of course, Yuki Suou was just joking.
In her heart, she truly saw Ayano as a sister. How could she possibly ignore her wishes and treat her as a dowry maid? That sort of thing was simply ridiculous.
So right now, she was clearly teasing Fumiya Jin on purpose, wanting to see if he would actually be a little tempted—after all, for a guy with a lewd mind, getting two fresh, beautiful girls at once was undoubtedly a massive temptation.
However...
When Fumiya Jin heard this, he didn't immediately show a thirsty or excited expression. Instead, he put on a serious expression, as if studying an academic subject, and pondered it carefully for a few seconds.
Then, he nodded gravely and said,
"I think your suggestion has considerable merit. It's worth considering."
"Eh?"
Yuki Suou was completely thrown off by his seriousness.
Stunned for several seconds, she finally shot him a look, saying with a mixture of amusement and annoyance,
"You're actually thinking about it? You really want two wives? You big zako beast! Even if I don't stab you to death, you'd first have to have the skill to make Ayano willingly fall in love with you!"
"Oh?" Fumiya Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Are you saying that, regardless of what Ayano thinks, you're already willing to marry me?"
"Keep dreaming, you little virgin! I just wanted to tease you, so don't go making assumptions, okay?"
"But you're going to wear that little devil cosplay for me tomorrow," Fumiya Jin reminded her with a smile.
"Hmph, help me become president first, then we'll talk!"
Yuki Suou reached out and pinched Fumiya Jin's cheek.
"If the election fails, you'll be in for it!"
