NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26: The Most Affectionate Person in Tokyo!
Nagisa's words caused a silence to fall over the entire café.
Someone took a deep breath after calculating the assets of the large shipbuilding group.
Some people stared blankly at life, their knives and forks having long since fallen to the ground.
And even more of them were honest and young girls, whose uncontrolled whispers continued to ring out. Some took out their phones and quickly shared the secret with their friends.
"Two women fighting over a man!"
"I'm so jealous; I want to keep Takema-kun!"
"Kaguya-sama is really arguing with Kashiwagi-sama over a man?!"
"Is this the legendary love triangle?"
"Wow! The romance manga story has become a reality!"
"Takema-kun is so strong; he can really play both sides!"
The quarrels and murmurs from the onlookers meant nothing to the two women lately.
"Nagisa!" Kaguya glared coldly at the woman beside her!
"Kaguya! It's rude to call her by her first name." Nagisa replied with a smile.
Almost simultaneously, the two exchanged names with cold expressions and perfect smiles.
They locked eyes. Both sat in silence, making no moves, yet the air seemed filled with the smell of gunpowder.
At this moment, Shun between them dared not make a sound.
He was not the foolish protagonist in a Japanese light novel. Now that the love triangle had emerged, he finally understood.
No wonder the story of "the hero saving the beauty" has remained popular from ancient times to the present. Although it sounds vulgar, its level of appeal is very high!
"Kashiwagi-san, everything should be done based on who arrived first, right?"
"That's true to some extent…"
As if not sensing the coldness in Kaguya's tone, Nagisa maintained her smile and said:
"But, as the daughter of the Shinomiya Group, you should also know that sometimes, you need to do whatever it takes."
Kaguya stared without realizing it at the woman who clearly had her own opinions about her.
Nagisa ignored this gaze, smiling as she turned to Shun.
"What I said earlier was serious, Takema-kun."
Saying this, Nagisa reached out her hand to grasp Shun's palm.
"If possible, please come to my house on Sunday. I have a thank-you gift for you."
Seeing this woman move her hands and legs as she approached, Kaguya blocked Nagisa's wrist:
"Kashiwagi-san, when both parties have reached a contract, it's inappropriate to do unnecessary things like that!"
With her palm obstructed, Nagisa stopped upon hearing those words, then withdrew her hand, her eyes staring at Kaguya.
"But, we did some things that day. Has Shinomiya-san forgotten?"
Nagisa's words, which seemed attentive, made Kaguya slowly narrow her eyes, staring straight at this woman.
This was tough!
Nagisa was a very difficult woman!
Although there were many children from powerful families at Shuchi'in Academy, this was the first time Kaguya had met someone like Nagisa.
This woman was so provoking!
"Compared to a certain woman who has been unconscious for a long time, I haven't forgotten at all."
She, Shinomiya Kaguya, would not back down!
After hearing Kaguya's words, Nagisa turned slightly, her eyes a bit dissatisfied.
Although she maintained a gentle smile on the surface, Nagisa was very concerned about Kaguya's departure.
She had worked hard to find Shun, but Kaguya was a solitary figure. If she didn't act smart, she would become a dog or a loser!
Thinking of this, Nagisa no longer engaged in verbal sparring with her opponent and directly played her trump card.
After surveying her surroundings, she leaned forward, lowered her voice, and softly said in a volume only audible to the three at the table:
"My father has invited a powerful onmyoji. He said he has a magic weapon he wants to sell."
"Takema-kun, if possible, please come to my house this weekend and take a look together. Perhaps the other party has other treasures to sell. I will buy them for you."
At this moment, even Kaguya fell silent.
Perhaps her father was gradually connecting with this existence, but at home, compared to her three brothers, she still had too little control over the resources of the Shinomiya Group.
In the future, Nagisa would become the successor of the Oto Shipbuilding Group, and the resources from her grandfather and father's entire family were destined to be with her.
Shun, who had initially decided to pretend to be mute to avoid this love triangle, finally became intrigued.
"Onmyoji?"
Thinking that he would be in contact with extraordinary beings in this mysterious recovery era, Shun felt a little more hopeful.
"I understand; I will go to the appointment on time this weekend."
Shun leaned back in his chair, looking at the two girls with different styles in front of him, pondering for a moment, and said:
"For now, we are connected because of that accident, and both Kashiwagi-san and Shinomiya-san care about me because of this."
"However, this is a bit too soon for me."
"I still have a long time at Shuchi'in Academy, and I hope to truly ascertain our fates and bonds while hanging out with both of you in the future."
The essence of Shun's words could be summarized in one sentence:
'Don't confirm the relationship yet; wait until I earn enough goodwill in the future and everything matures!'
As a man aspiring to have a harem in this world, he certainly wouldn't make a choice at this moment.
Regarding Shun's response, Nagisa and Kaguya exchanged glances simultaneously and chose to nod.
❀❀❀
That night
Line message interface
{NO! I do not have such a relationship with Shinomiya-san and Kashiwagi-san}
{Well, they survived the previous sinking incident, so both sides just expressed their gratitude}
{No soft rice!}
{These two eldest women hope that we can make a mutually beneficial contract with me. If protected by an Esper, it will be safer for older women like them}
{Not only that, I will also protect you!}
{Actually, I think Miko/Kirisu-sensei/Itsuki-san/Kitagawa-san are sweeter!}
After sending this message to everyone, Shun sighed in relief and fell onto his bed.
He didn't forget to take care of these beautiful girls until late at night!
The most affectionate person in Tokyo!
