"Why would she spring that question so suddenly," Miko thought as Chika had asked the unthinkable, "Ishigami and I are just acquaintances nothing more than that, this event was just a one-time thing," said Miko as she walked off, "She needs to be more honest with herself, but does that mean she`s a love rival as well?" Chika thought as she seemed to notice that Miko wasn`t exactly great when it came to hiding her feelings, but at any moment Miko could also swoop in and get the upper hand over Chika
Saturday Morning 8:20 am
"Yu" Mrs. Ishigami called out from the living room, "What is it Mom?" Ishigami asked as he came out of his room bed head still intact, "Listen a particular customer want this plant grown, so I need you to deliver this to the customer" Mrs. Ishigami explained as she pulled out an azalea plant that had bloomed at its peak, "I don`t know" said Ishigami as he hadn`t planned to go outside on the weekend, "Come on, you need some fresh air rather than staying in all day and playing video games, plus if you do this, I`ll give you some extra allowance this week" said Mrs. Ishigami to which Ishigami caved in, "Alright fine, where is this place?" Ishigami asked, "The customer lives in the Shibuya area, so basically where the elites live, here`s the address to the place and try to make sure the plant makes it there in one piece," said Mrs. Ishigami, "Yeah yeah," said Ishigami as he changed into his street clothes, "Just what I needed today," Ishigami thought as this was an unexpected obstacle to his normal weekend plans
"How did I end up playing delivery man today?" Ishigami thought as he walked to his destination when he came up to a familiar house, "Wait a second" said Ishigami as he realized what was happening, "This is Chika`s place, I bet the only reason my mom asked me to come here is that I know Chika, that slick woman" Ishigami thought, "Well no use complaining now" Ishigami thought as he rang the doorbell
"Who`s here this early?" Toyomi said as she opened the door, "Oh it`s just you gloomy guy" said Toyomi as she saw Ishigami, "It`s Ishigami, and yeah someone ordered this plant" Ishigami replied, "Oh that`s right, our mother ordered this, she wanted to have a beautiful flower for our house" said Toyomi as she took the plant, "Since you`re here, why don`t you come on in" Toyomi added, "Oh, I was gonna head out" said Ishigami as he wanted to head back to which Toyomi objected, "Now now, come on keep me company, you wouldn`t keep a girl like me alone" said Toyomi to which Ishigami turned red, "Damn, she`s making it hard to refuse her, but since I did come all this way I suppose I should sit for a bit" Ishigami thought, "Fine, but only for a bit" said Ishigami as he gave in and followed her inside the house
"It`s pretty quiet here," said Ishigami as he took a seat on the couch, "Yeah our parents are at work now and the others are sleeping in," said Toyomi as she went through the fridge, " You want cola or tea?" Toyomi asked, "Cola is fine," said Ishigami to which Toyomi handed him a can of cola, "Thanks," said Ishigami as he looked around and saw many pictures of Chika, "Say," said Toyomi, "What is it?" Ishigami asked, "How far have you gone with my sister?" Toyomi asked to which Ishigami almost spit out his drink, "What are you talking about?" Ishigami asked, "Come on, I know you had dinner with my parents, most boys don`t even get that far, she must see something in you," Toyomi said mischievously, "I only did it because she asked me for a favor " Ishigami replied to which Toyomi had a mischievous smile on her face, "Oh really, perhaps Onee-san should give you a test," Toyomi said seductively to which she leaned closer to Ishigami, "Oh crap, I`ve played enough eroge to know where this is headed," Ishigami thought as he worried that the situation could get incredibly awkward, "Keep it down, I`m trying to sleep," said Chika drowsily as her pajamas were disheveled along with her hair to which she was greeted to seeing her older sister seemingly getting intimate with Ishigami, "Eh?" Chika said dumbfounded
"Why didn`t you tell me you were coming over," said Chika as she was still embarrassed that Ishigami saw her in such a mess, "I didn`t want to wake you up," said Ishigami as he watched Chika frantically get changed, "Now now Chika, Ishigami came all the way out here to see you, show some manners, you`ll never find a man with that attitude," said Toyomi to which Ishigami had to stop himself from laughing, "You stay out of this Onee-chan," said Chika, "I was only joking with you, here have your pink soda, it`ll cheer you up," said Toyomi as she pulled a sakura soda from the fridge, "Ooh thanks," Chika said cheerfully, "Wait a minute," said Chika as she realized what was going on, "Oh come on Chika lighten up, I was joking with you," said Toyomi, "Yeah yeah, more importantly, Ishigami, what are you doing here?" Chika asked, "My mom made me run an errand so I ended up here" Ishigami explained, "What`s going on here?" Moeha asked as she entered the living room, "Oh hey Ishigami" said Moeha as she noticed Ishigami was there as well, "Sup" Ishigami said back
"So back to the subject, how have things been between the two of you?" Toyomi asked to which Chika and Ishigami turned red, "There`s nothing between us, we`re just friends" Chika replied, "Oh really, you two seem to be close when we`re in the Student Council, you show a different side to you," said Moeha mischievously, "Chika and Ishigami sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G" Moeha sang out to which Toyomi burst out laughing and Chika turned even redder, "I can take this anymore, Ishigami we`re hanging out today, but as friends, but don`t get the wrong idea, it`s not like I want you to come along," Chika said in embarrassment as she went to her room to change quickly, "Oh my, you`re showing your tsundere side Chika?" Toyomi asked, "Shut up Onee-chan, come on Ishigami let's go," said Chika as she came out, "Sure, I got nothing better to do," said Ishigami as he got up, "Try not to stay out for too long, otherwise we might assume you two are fooling around," said Moeha as the two left the house
"So what do you wanna do today? I wasn`t expecting to hang out with you today, sorry about my sisters" said Chika as they walked outside since Chika thought it was a good idea to get away from her sister before she got any other ideas, "It`s fine, guess I`ll just tag along with whatever you want" Ishigami replied, "We should go to the mall, I`ve got some stuff to buy that I need" said Chika
"Oh wow, a new board game just came out," said Chika as they were in Chika`s favorite place, the board game store, "You sure you don`t want to try playing video games?" Ishigami asked, "Nah video games aren`t my thing, not to mention even if I wanted to start playing them, I`d have to find a way to play them without my parents finding out" Chika replied, "Fair point," Ishigami thought as he looked around, "Oh my Dad`s factory created a new product," Ishigami thought as he picked up a board game, "This one`s new, maybe I`ll buy it so we all can play," Chika said cheerfully, "Sure, just not during Student Council work time," said Ishigami, "Sounds good," Chika said cheerfully as she went to go buy the game, "Well at least she`s cheerful, it`s a good change of pace," Ishigami thought as they continued walking through the mall
"Say Chika, since this is your last year of high school, what are you planning for in the future?" Ishigami asked as they were having lunch in the food court, "I never gave it much thought, I guess I`ll just go to university and study politics there, then maybe I`ll become a politician" said Chika, "What about you?" Chika asked, "Don`t know maybe I`ll help out with my Dad`s toy factory or I might go to university and study video game design" Ishigami replied, "Wow, can`t say that I expected that from you" said Chika as she took a bite of her burger, "Say are you worried about what lies ahead in the future?" Ishigami asked as he took a bite out of his chicken sandwich, "Whatever happens down the road, I`ll be ready for it" Chika replied, "I see, I guess nothing will ever bother her, other than me at least" Ishigami thought
"Hey I want to go to the clothing store, they got some new stock," said Chika as they walked around the mall, "Sure, whatever you want," said Ishigami as even though he wasn`t a big fan of going shopping since well he had to interact with others, but being with Chika, it wasn`t so bad, "Wait a sec, hide," said Chika as she dragged Ishigami into a nearby store as they watched two female students pass by, "What`s the matter, you saw someone you don`t like?" Ishigami asked Chika, "No, they were members of the Tabletop Club" Chika explained as they walked back out, "So?" Ishigami asked confused, "So? If they see me and you together, they`ll question me and rumors will spread around" Chika explained, "I didn`t think you would be worried about stuff like that" said Ishigami, "It would be bad if rumors between the two of us got out, your reputation might take a dive" Chika explained, "Yeah good point, not everyone in school likes me all that much, where to next?" Ishigami asked
"Why`d she drag me here of all places," said Ishigami as he realized that Chika had dragged him into a while Chika was looking for what she wanted as Ishigami was struggling to not look out of place as well they were at a women`s store, "Ishigami, can you give me a hand?" Chika called out to Ishigami, "What is it?" Ishigami asked, "I need to try on a few of these, so I need you to watch my stuff and wait outside the changing room," said Chika, "So exactly why are you shopping for bras?" Ishigami asked as he waited outside, "I need some new underwear anyways, not to mention I grew another size" said Chika to which Ishigami swore he felt some blood in his nose, "What?" Ishigami asked dumbfounded, "My chest got bigger, wanna see?" Chika asked teasingly to which Ishigami turned bright red, "You serious?" Ishigami asked, "Just kidding, you really thought I would let you get a peek, you perv," said Chika mischievously as she went back to getting changed, "That damn woman, she always has to play jokes with me," Ishigami said to himself, "But a bigger size huh?" Ishigami thought as he pictured Chika wearing her swimsuit, "Damn it what am I thinking?" Ishigami thought as he tried to snap back to reality otherwise Chika would have a reason to call Ishigami creepy
Congratulations, you played yourself Ishigami
Later in the Evening
"I`m hungry, why don`t we get something to eat," said Chika as it was nearing the end of the day, "Already? Didn`t you have enough for lunch" Ishigami asked sarcastically to which Chika pouted, "Don`t question a woman when she`s hungry" Chika said back, "Ooh, let`s go here" said Chika as she pointed to a restaurant, "Yeah sure, I don`t mind, hopefully it`s not too expensive" said Ishigami as the two entered the restaurant
"Good evening, table for two?" said a waiter, "Yep," said Chika, "I see, let me escort you to your table, "Nice place huh?" said Chika as she looked around the restaurant, "Yeah, what are you gonna order?" Ishigami asked as he looked through the menu, "Let`s see, ooh let`s get this, excuse me waiter" said Chika as she called the waiter over and pointed to an item, "Oh that? Are you sure?" the waiter asked to which Ishigami looked at the item that Chika requested for to which Ishigami`s eyes widened, "Please tell me she`s not going to take this on," Ishigami thought, "Why don`t we order something smaller" Ishigami proposed hoping Chika wouldn`t go through it, "Let`s do it," said Chika much to the dismay of Ishigami "You`ve gotta be kidding me," Ishigami thought as now Chika had dragged them down a misadventure
Food Challenges, challenges in which a person or in our case a pair try to finish a ridiculous amount of food in a given time while trying not to puke, they have blown up social media for better or worst, but one thing is certain, don`t end on the wall of shame
"Are you sure about this?" Ishigami asked as they awaited their challenge, "I`ve always wanted to try this challenge for a while, it can`t be that bad" said Chika as two waiters brought their ramen to them although it had to be carted to them as the bowl was filled with ramen along with boiled eggs, chashu and typical toppings such as seaweed and beansprouts, "Holy crap" Chika and Ishigami said as they saw how huge the ramen was as they couldn`t even see the noodles to which the two of them took a picture of it as this was something that the two likely would not forget
"The Ramen King challenge is a two-person challenge with an 18 pound Chasu ramen, you have 40 minutes to finish it or you`ll have to pay for it if you puke, you're disqualified, any questions?" said the waiter, "Uh can we have two extra bowls on the side and a bucket?" Ishigami asked as if they were going through with this, might as well prepare for the worst
"Alright whenever you`re ready," said the waiter, "Damn it Chika, why`d you drag us into this, look at the size of this thing, sumo wrestlers might have a hard time finishing this, "Don`t worry, we`ll be fine, I`ve eaten ramen so much my body is used to it," said Chika, "That would explain why you haven`t lost any weight yet," Ishigami thought as they looked at the huge bowl in front of them, "Guess there`s no use getting out of this, you ready?" Ishigami asked Chika, "Yeah I`m starving," said Chika as the challenge began
"Thank god I went light on lunch today otherwise I`d be full already," Ishigami thought as they were trying to beat the challenge as 10 minutes had passed and they had barely made a dent on the challenge, "There`s so much left, better allocate the food" Ishigami thought as he started splitting the eggs and chasu, "What are you doing?" Chika asked confused, "The toppings have some much fat to them, we should split them up or one of us will end up too full to finish the challenge" Ishigami, "That`s a good point, good thing you`re here with me in this challenge," said Chika as she grabbed some of the eggs, "Yeah, cause you backed me into a corner," Ishigami thought as he was focused on not getting too full before the real challenge would come
"Damn we`ve got five minutes left, I might tap out soon, not to mention we still gotta finish the broth," Ishigami thought as there was still a quarter left of the challenge as the two were starting to slow down, "Come on Ishigami, let`s speed this up, we can`t lose this challenge," said Chika, "I could say the same for you" Ishigami replied as he noticed that Chika was slowing down, "Then I`ll just go faster" said Chika as she ate faster without chewing, "Whoa slow down, we don`t want you blowing chunks here of all places," said Ishigami, "I`ll be fine, I won`t do that this time," said Chika as she stuffed her face with noodle and chashu, "This time? So this has happened before?" Ishigami thought as time was not their friend in this challenge
"Looks like we lost the challenge," Ishigami thought as both of them laid there exhausted after the timer rang and there was still some ramen left over, "You okay Fujiwara?" Ishigami asked, "I`m okay I think, oh god," said Chika as her cheeks started to puff up, "Oh shit here," said Ishigami as he quickly handed her the bucket as Chika started blowing chunks into the bucket, "Clean up on aisle 9, waiter can you bring us 2 ginger ales?" Ishigami asked the waiter, "Sure, is your girlfriend going to be okay?" the waiter asked, "No worries, she`ll be fine eventually" Ishigami replied as he went to check on Chika, "I assume you learned your lesson?" Ishigami asked, "I`m never doing this again," said Chika as this was one of the rare times that she actually agreed with Ishigami
"I told you this was a bad idea," Ishigami said as he watched over Chika as she groaned over having a stomachache as to no one`s surprise they didn`t win the challenge, but fortunately they only had to pay 6000 yen for failing the challenge which they agreed to split it, "I didn`t think this was gonna be that bad oh.. my stomach" Chika replied, "Alright, it`s getting late, let`s get you home," said Ishigami as he got up, "Can you help walk me home, oh my stomach..." said Chika, "Fine, come on," said Ishigami as he helped Chika up as they left the restaurant
"That was interesting to say the least," said Ishigami as they were walking home, "Out of all the times this could have happened, you had to be around" Chika pouted, "Well try not to do something like that again, "No fair, why are you the only one that can see my embarrassing side?" Chika asked, "It`s because I know you too well" Ishigami replied to which Chika blushed, "What do you mean by that?" Chika asked, "Some other time, now`s not really a good time," said Ishigami as they needed to get Chika back home rather than talk about their relationship
"Welcome back you two oh.. what happened to her?" Toyomi asked as she was greeted by Ishigami carrying, "Long story" said Ishigami as , "sounds like you two had quite the fun time today, alright bring her in" said Toyomi as Ishigami carried her into the house and put her down on the couch, "So what happened to her?" Toyomi asked Ishigami, "She wanted to take on a food challenge, went about we expected it would, and here we are" Ishigami explained, "I see, Moeha, can you bring me the Pepto Bismol?" Toyomi called out, "Sure," said Moeha as she handed Toyomi a pink bottle along with a spoon, "Ishigami, you wanna give the medicine to her?" Toyomi asked, "What why me?" Ishigami asked, "I`m sure she wouldn`t mind if you were the person feeding her the medicine eh Romeo?" Toyomi teased to which Ishigami blushed, "Alright fine, Fujiwara, you up?" Ishigami asked Chika, "Wha? Where are we?" Chika asked, "We`re back home, here take some medicine," said Ishigami as he fed her the pink medicine to which Chika seemed to be feeling somewhat better, "Anyways, it`s late so I should be heading back home, get some rest," said Ishigami, "Sure, thanks for hanging out with me today, it means a lot," said Chika, "Yeah, yeah, see you on Monday," said Ishigami as he left the house, "Aww Ishigami really does care about you," said Moeha as her and Toyomi were watching from a door away, "It`s not like that at all!" Chika shouted in embarrassment to which the two laughed
"I`m home," said Ishigami as he entered his house, "Goodness, you`re quite late, where have you been?" Mrs. Ishigami asked, "Long story, I got dragged into a shopping adventure with Chika today" Ishigami replied as he grabbed a drink from the fridge, "Did you have fun?" Mrs. Ishigami asked, "Somewhat, I`ll be in my room if you need me" said Ishigami as he headed back into his room and changed while booting up his computer, "I guess that wasn`t too bad, maybe I should go out more often," Ishigami thought as he started some much missed video game time
Monday
"Man, I gotta start getting used to Mondays more," Ishigami thought as he yawned while walking into the school to which right away he noticed that some of the students were whispering amongst each other, "What`s going on? I got something on my face?" Ishigami thought as he was starting to get suspicious as he walked into his classroom to which the whispering continued as he took his seat, "All right what the hell is going on?" Ishigami thought as Miko and Rei entered the classroom, "Look who it is, the man of the hour" Miko said sarcastically as she took her seat in front of Ishigami, "What the heck are you going on about?" Ishigami asked, "You might wanna check your social media feed," said Rei to which Ishigami checked his social media to which he was met with an unbelievable sight
Headlines: Is the Student Council President and Vice President secretly dating? Secret scandal in the Student Council?
That was a headline along with a picture of Chika walking with Ishigami in the mall
"Shit" Ishigami thought as he realized that this was not good news for both of them
