319 The Opponent’s Level Has Surpassed All Limits (1/2)

Chiaki and Mika were wiped away by this torrential flood, and it took a long while for them to finally recover their senses. Both had already returned to their respective homes by the time they regained control over their minds.

They simultaneously tried calling each other at the same time. It took several tries before they succeeded in contacting each other.

”Chiaki...”

”Mika...”

Both of them fell silent for a while and then sighed.

”This should be... that,” Mika said.

”Yep, no matter how you look at it, it has to be that,” Chiaki said. ”Otherwise, with the way Natsuya Yoruhana is... although I don't know her very well, I can only understand it as her having those types of intentions.”

An invitation during the Winter Snow Festival... if she didn't have those types of intentions towards Seiji, then this isolated, untouchable scion definitely wouldn't ask such a thing because she wasn't a flirtatious, casual, or unthinking type of girl.

Although Seiji said that she appeared quite calm when she invited him, Chiaki and Mika were both girls. Even if they didn't personally see Natsuya at that time, they were both one hundred percent certain that Natsuya must have been acting!

Even normal girls would pretend to be proper, not to mention Natsuya, a scion.

Seiji probably had the ability to see through things, but he chose to believe in her surface appearance. This was either dullness or gentleness. After all, Natsuya was a proper lady scion.

At any rate, this was a rather bad situation.

No... it wasn't even at the level of bad anymore.

Compared to normal girls, Natsuya Yoruhana was on a completely different level. If she got serious...

”Mika, although I really don't want to say something like this... I can't think of any way to fight back,” Chiaki said, sighing. ”President Natsuya Yoruhana... although she may not be as similar to Seiji as Yukari Asamiya is, they seem to be quite compatible, especially in regards to their family backgrounds, not to mention that she's also a Yin-Yang Master. Her conditions simply match too well with him. And if Seiji gets together with her, they'd be a better match in physical appearances than even him and Asamiya, not to mention even their names. At any rate, they're extremely compatible all-around.”

That's right—they were easily able to imagine Seiji and Natsuya together.

Young Master Seiji and the scion Natsuya, both of them wearing extravagant clothing, dancing elegantly to classical music in a grand hall, looking at each other all lovey-dovey...

This seemed too realistic, so they couldn't even stop themselves from imagining along these lines! Mika was frustrated to the point of rolling around on her bed.

Chiaki silently sipped some tea.

”Oh... a family arranged marriage, is it? It seems to be quite common for families in high society.” Chiaki mulled it over. ”If the Haruta family and Yoruhana family still maintained good relationships despite the canceled engagement, then there won't be any obstacles to Seiji and Natsuya being together. In fact, it may even be great news for both of their families.”

”Wahh...” Mika let out another wail of frustration.

”The opponent's level has surpassed all limits, and we can't fight her, so we can only give up. Although I say this—” Chiaki paused and smiled mysteriously—”something like romance isn't determined simply by compatibility. Perhaps there's still room to struggle.”

Mika remained silent. After a period of silence, she weakly asked, ”Hey, Chiaki, currently... what exactly do you think of Seiji?”

Chiaki also fell silent for a moment. Her eyes flashed with a warm light as she recalled the night when she drank together with Seiji.

”I... like him,” she admitted. ”As for how much I like him... I would say that it's at the level where I would unhesitatingly agree if he asked to have sex with me. But... I don't want to become his one and only.”

”Eh...?” Mika was confused to hear this.

”Should I say that I don't have such a desire, or is it that I think it'll be too much of a burden... I myself don't know that clearly either.” Chiaki took another sip of her tea.
