Chapter 411: Maki's Request
Asagiri's words were not an exaggeration, but an absolute fact.
Kaguya Shinomiya's knowledge in this area was so lacking that it hardly seemed modern at all.
Just imagine, for someone who still believed that kissing could lead to pregnancy, if she were to see those high end eroge that had already developed all sorts of strange routes and systems...
The impact would probably be no different from facing a Cthulhu like eldritch god.
Her entire worldview would come crashing down, right?
But even though Asagiri had said that, Kaguya Shinomiya still could not help being curious.
She was not the type to be killed by curiosity. It was simply that she wanted to understand Utsunomiya Asagiri as a person more, and wanted to know what these so called eroge he was interested in actually were.
When it came down to it, she was just being a love struck fool.
"By the way."
Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly remembered something and looked at Asagiri, who was sitting on the sofa.
"There's a school trip next month. As Vice President, do you have any thoughts on the location?"
Asagiri was browsing recently released independent eroge, adding them to his cart without hesitation whenever he saw a theme that interested him, and replied casually,
"Most of Shuchiin Academy's school trip locations in previous years have been overseas, right?"
"Yes, though there are also closer locations, like Okinawa and Kyoto."
"Hmm..."
Asagiri put down the tablet in his hands and thought seriously.
"How about we set it within Tokyo?"
"Huh?"
Kaguya Shinomiya let out a sound of confusion and decisively rejected it.
"That won't do. Even for us, if we set the school trip location to Tokyo, we would definitely be voted out once the Student Council election for this semester begins."
"Fair point."
Asagiri nodded and asked in return,
"Then what is your opinion?"
"Let's not go overseas."
A thoughtful look appeared in Kaguya Shinomiya's red eyes as she spoke slowly.
"After all, there are still matters regarding the game and the Ashikaga Budo Association. To be cautious, it's best to ensure that if any abnormalities occur, we can return in the shortest possible time."
"But we also have to consider the students' wishes. Hmm... next month is August, and in this season..."
After thinking for a while, Kaguya Shinomiya finally offered an opinion.
"How about Hokkaido?"
"That works. You decide."
"Alright then, it's Hokkaido."
On the surface, Kaguya Shinomiya appeared calm and composed, acting strictly professional.
But in reality, she could hardly suppress the excitement and thrill within her. It was almost about to burst out.
The ocean.
The beach.
Swimsuits.
Asagiri's swimsuit.
"It's just that I didn't expect you to take the initiative to suggest a school trip to Hokkaido."
Hearing Asagiri's words, Kaguya Shinomiya frowned slightly and asked in confusion,
"Why?"
"Hmm? Didn't you realize?"
Asagiri showed a faint smile and said bluntly,
"The school trip itinerary doesn't include a trip to the beach, but they will definitely clamor to go. And once at the beach, everyone will have to wear swimsuits."
"As for your figure... I don't think I need to say much more, right?"
"What..."
At that moment, Kaguya Shinomiya realized that she had overlooked an extremely important issue.
If they went to the beach, she would indeed be able to see Asagiri in a swimsuit.
But...
She would have to wear a swimsuit too.
Just imagining going to the beach with girls who had such mature figures like Fujiwara Chika, Yuuki Asuna, Kato Megumi, and Yamauchi Sakura made Kaguya Shinomiya feel as if she were suffocating.
But...
Kaguya Shinomiya snuck a glance at Asagiri, who was sitting there, and a slight blush appeared on her face.
She really wanted to see Asagiri in a swimsuit.
And she really wanted to play at the beach with Asagiri.
She could not decide, and immediately fell into a dilemma.
"If we go to the beach... do we really have to wear swimsuits?"
Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her lips, showing a conflicted and hesitant expression.
"Can't we just go to the beach in normal clothes?"
Asagiri crushed Kaguya Shinomiya's fantasy with just one sentence.
"Then I'll wear normal clothes too, and I'll just consider it going to the beach to watch a swimsuit show exclusive to me."
"That won't do!"
Kaguya Shinomiya retorted instinctively, then immediately realized that this seemed to reveal her true intentions.
To cover up her embarrassment, she raised her hand to tuck her black hair behind her ear and cleared her throat twice, pretending to be calm.
"Let's just have everyone wear swimsuits. It is a rare opportunity, after all."
After the great Vice President Utsunomiya and President Shinomiya reached an agreement, the Student Council room fell into silence once again.
An hour later, under the dim yellow sunlight shining from outside the window, Kaguya Shinomiya stretched lazily and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally finished processing everything..."
"Then let's go."
Hearing Asagiri's voice, Kaguya Shinomiya finally came back to her senses.
She hurriedly straightened her posture, and a blush appeared on her face.
She thought to herself, how could she do such a thing?
Stretching and talking to herself were behaviors not befitting the status of the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Family.
Unlike her usual state of constant tension, where she rarely showed any emotion, whenever she was with Asagiri, she would involuntarily relax.
Just then, something even more embarrassing for Kaguya Shinomiya happened.
"Gurgle..."
Seeing Kaguya Shinomiya's instantly flushed face, her shifty, shy gaze, and her cute appearance of not knowing where to put her hands, Asagiri could not help smiling.
"You didn't eat after getting up?"
Kaguya Shinomiya blushed, not daring to look up and meet Asagiri's gaze. She only replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzzing,
"Hmm... I was just thinking about Student Council matters and forgot..."
"Then let's go. I haven't eaten either. Let's eat together."
"Eh? You haven't eaten either?"
"Yeah."
Asagiri first nodded, then smiled and said a direct, straightforward sentence that instantly crushed Kaguya Shinomiya.
"I was just thinking about coming to the Student Council room to find you and forgot."
Kaguya Shinomiya's defenses were instantly shattered by Asagiri's soft words.
She looked up, her eyes shining brightly as she gazed at Asagiri in front of her.
Her lips trembled slightly, and she involuntarily stood on her tiptoes.
Their faces drew closer and closer.
They were only a few centimeters away from kissing.
But just as she was about to kiss Asagiri, Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly stepped back several paces and explained with a flustered expression.
"I don't dislike you, it's just... it's just that if we do this kind of thing and I... you know..."
"Sigh..."
Hearing Asagiri's sigh, Kaguya Shinomiya became even more flustered.
In her anxiety, her mind went blank.
She instinctively stepped forward two steps, took the initiative to hold Asagiri's hand, and hurriedly explained,
"That's not what I meant. If it's just holding hands, it's absolutely fine. We can do it as many times as you want..."
"I'm just worried about myself... If I really get pregnant, what will happen to the game? I still have to clear the Dungeon."
"Please don't be angry. Listen to me..."
"No, why has the atmosphere suddenly become so heavy?"
Seeing Kaguya Shinomiya looking so incredibly flustered, Asagiri could not help smiling.
"I sighed because your knowledge in that area is too lacking."
"You don't actually think that kissing leads to pregnancy, do you?"
Kaguya Shinomiya was stunned upon hearing this, then said in shock,
"Eh? It doesn't?"
"Tell me first, why do you think kissing leads to pregnancy?"
Faced with Asagiri's question, Kaguya Shinomiya replied as if it were a matter of course.
"Isn't that how it is in all those fairy tale books? The prince and princess kissed, and then they got married and had children. Some even had several."
Asagiri: "..."
"Good grief, so your knowledge in that area comes from fairy tales?"
Kaguya Shinomiya nodded.
"Yeah."
"And you're actually sticking to that."
Even Asagiri, with his abstract personality, felt speechless at this moment.
"I think it's very necessary to educate you on normal physiological knowledge. After we finish eating and go back, you should ask Hayasaka Ai. She should know."
"Ask her?"
A look of curiosity appeared in Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes, and she said with a slightly flushed face,
"Can't you teach me?"
"Eh, men and women are different. Besides..."
Asagiri spoke slowly with an inscrutable expression.
"The knowledge I have is too advanced for you. You'd better finish the beginner's tutorial first."
Just as Kaguya Shinomiya was about to reply, she heard somewhat hurried footsteps from the corridor outside the Student Council room.
The moment she became vigilant and prepared to take out a weapon from her inventory at any time, a soft knocking sound rang out.
"Come in."
The moment the Student Council room door opened, Kaguya Shinomiya saw that the person standing outside was none other than her distant relative, Shijo Maki, whose personality did not quite get along with hers.
"Oh, it's you."
Kaguya Shinomiya lifted her chin slightly, looked at Shijo Maki in front of her, and spoke in a flat tone.
"Do you need something?"
Shijo Maki pursed her lips and muttered softly,
"Tch, acting all high and mighty again..."
Actually, the relationship between Shijo Maki and Kaguya Shinomiya was not bad.
Although they could not be called close friends, they had known each other since they were very young and would greet each other when they met.
It was just that because both of them were the type to be tsundere, coupled with the subtle relationship between the Shijo and Shinomiya families, their familiarity was usually expressed through sarcasm.
"I wanted to ask you..."
As Shijo Maki said this, her gaze involuntarily glanced at Asagiri, who was standing beside Kaguya Shinomiya.
She seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.
"If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Hearing Kaguya Shinomiya's words, Shijo Maki stopped hesitating.
Looking into Kaguya Shinomiya's beautiful red eyes, she went straight to the point.
"As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Family, you must have heard about the game, right?"
"I'll be direct."
"I want to meet that legendary Shadow."
