Ch 209 – 30 June, A night call from Chika 02


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta was stunned for a moment because basically Chika was not someone who liked to call him like this. Most conversations between the two of them came by messaging each other using messaging apps after all. He then went to separate himself from the group for a while before epting the call.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Kouta-kun— Do you have any free time!?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta could hear Chika''s cheerful voice. At least from her voice Kouta knew that Chika was not in trouble and the like. He was a bit relieved about that before finally answering her question.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Well, this question really came out of the blue. In that case, is it for today?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ah, yes. I know this is quite sudden and I’m sorry about it.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Okay— Thankfully, I have no appointments with anyone today. So I have time to see you.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Really! Thank goodness. What time can youe? I can wait at this ce— I''ll send you the location. Ah, as a thank you, I''ll treat you!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was a normal phone call inviting a casual meet-up. However, because the invitation was sudden and there was also a feeling of discrepancying from the attitude Chika gave. Kouta felt there was something behind all this. It wasn''t long before he got a meeting ce in a messaging app called Rine, where the meeting ce was a prominent sushi restaurant with a conveyor belt.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta didn''t know what was going on or what Chika was nning. So he didn''t have many other ns, other than to meet with Chika. He then replied to Chika''s message by giving her a time when he could go to the appointment.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta spent his time with his circle group until they all dispersed before he headed to the sushi restaurant where he made a promise with Chika.Of course, he told that he had a sudden appointment towards Eriri and Utaha who gave slightly different reactions. Eriri who basically introduced Chika to Kouta reacted that she was looking forward to seeing her acquaintance fall like her. Meanwhile, Utaha gave a monotonous reaction.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta could only apologize to Utaha and promised to give her time while giving her a warm kiss. He had really be a yboy to say that even in front of his other girlfriend, Eriri.


    <span style="font-weight:400">At this moment, Kouta was already winning as a person and he could have just quit because all of this was enough. However, as a human being who has greed. Of course, Kouta will not stop to keep getting other girls, especially the heroine he knows. One of them was the girl he was going to meet.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Fujiwara Chika, who was already seated at the sushi restaurant, Kouta could see that she was dressed in everyday clothes that added to the cuteness she already had, different from her usual ck uniform. This time she wore a light pink dress that slightly matched her long pink hair. She waved her hand when she saw Kouta walking into the restaurant. Kouta walked straight to the bench where Chika was.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, you came just in time. Thank goodness— Once again I apologize for inviting you out of the blue like this. So please, you can order what you like. At the same time, please don''t order too much and expensive stuff. My budget is not unlimited after all.” Chika said with a slightly pleading face to Kouta to understand the position she was in.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ha— Okay—” Kouta sighed for a moment and he looked at the menu before ordering some fresh fruit drink.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Look— This particr sashimi in this restaurant is good— you know?” Chika spoke as she took the tuna sashimi from the conveyor belt and ced it in front of Kouta. She gave the sushi to Kouta with a sweet smile, but somehow a nervous one too. Once again giving the impression that this girl has a n of her own.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Even so, Kouta enjoyed the sashimi given by Chika. He was a little grateful that his body in this world was different from his past life, as he was a little allergic to shrimp and didn''t really like eating sashimi and the like. Since being in this world, he did not have such problems. Was it because the raw fish in this world was better than in her previous life? Well, it might be because the food in the anime world can make people take off their clothes and sigh in pleasure.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“So what actually happened?” Kouta spoke after he had eaten several tes of the sushi that had caught his eye. He could see Chika''s eyebrows furrowing with each te Kouta took. Especially when he took something that expensive, but Chika''s smiles and sweet gestures are well preserved.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ah, well— Actually—” In an instant Chika''s face became cramped because she had to exin what happened. She yed with her finger not only to calm herself but also to give a cute impression to make Kouta be more kind to her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Chika told me what happened a few days ago when she sent a message to Kouta in the student council room with Shinomiya Kaguya. Before she took a minute to look at one of the photos of Kouta that she had. Only, it seems that this time she is looking at the photo of Kouta who is only wearing swimming trunks. And get caught by Kaguya looking at his abs—


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Geez, what are you doing?” Kouta replied with a feeling that was a little amused by what Chika told him. Basically, he doesn''t feel anything if his photos are seen by others. It''s just that it seems that for Japanese people privacy is important, including countries that are strict in this regard.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Well— I can’t myself— I guess—” Chika answered honestly with a blush on her face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Okay, you don’t have to worry about that. I don''t mind small matters like this.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“That’s— Actually—”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Chika still seems to be acting guilty about something which suggests there is still something she hasn''t told us.


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘I think you still haven''t told me everything.” Kouta spoke as he unhesitatingly went back to picking up the sushi that was spinning on the conveyor belt.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ah— Ugh, Well— Therefore, Kaguya asked many things— and in the end I was forced to lie and— said that the two of us are a couple. So I''m sorry, can we pretend to be dating?" Chika finally told Kouta why this meeting happened.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Meanwhile, Kouta could only nod slowly and in his brain what he thought was that this was another cliche in anime, especially ros. Pretending to be a boyfriend arc.
