"Are they still the same?"

On Friday noon, after feeling the low pressure emanating from the battle between Natsukawa Masuri and Hoshino Satoru for a while, Shirogane Miyuki couldn't help but ask Shinomiya Kaguya again.

"Yes……"

“That’s true.”

For a moment, Shirogane Miyuki didn't know what to think. In the end, he had never imagined that there would be a situation where one person of the same age would be called "father" by another.

This could normally be considered a personal insult, but unexpectedly, Hoshino Gokawa was able to give a fairly reasonable reason: in the East, people who are close to each other usually call each other "father."

Of course, Shirogane Miyuki didn't really believe it. What normal person would call someone "dad" when they're on good terms with them?

Then he saw the video that Hoshino Gokawa had found, which was titled "Four Generations Under One Roof in a Dormitory".

To be honest, this video had a pretty big impact on Shirogane Miyuki. He never thought that people in the East would express good relationships in this way.

When you need something from me, just call me "Dad."

Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't be anything special. But the problem lies in the fact that just now, in order to win back a city, Natsukawa Masuzu thought of all sorts of ways and finally tricked Hoshino Gokawa. Of course, in reality, the other party deliberately fell into the trap, and I think you can all guess what kind of trap he fell into.

That is……

"father."

"Eh!"

"Peng!"

While Shirogane Miyuki and Shinomiya Kaguya were chatting quietly, Hoshino Gokawa and Natsukawa Masuzu had another exchange, and this time the latter was clearly defeated because she was tricked into revealing information, and the other party even slammed her hand on the table in anger.

In a sense, this is actually quite interesting. The original relationship between Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane was one of love and war, but when it came to Hoshino Satoru and Natsukawa Masaki, it turned into a war of calling someone "father".

Let's see who can devise a scheme to trick the other party through words and actions. Of course, if that were the case, it would be fine. But I don't know which one of the other parties deliberately spread the conflict afterward.

As a result, the other four members of the student council all benefited from the seniority advantage of these two, which, in a sense, also respected the tradition of subordinates overthrowing superiors. In a sense, the student council's style is being distorted by Hoshino Gokawa.

That's why Shirogane Miyuki is having a headache now; who knows if he'll get scammed again while chatting with someone!

Of course, being taken advantage of in terms of seniority is a minor matter. The real key point is actually with Kaguya Shinomiya. After all, making the heiress of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu call someone else "Dad"... are you sure you're not courting death?

Logically, this should have been how things were going, but for some reason, Kaguya Shinomiya didn't react at all. In fact, not only did she not react at all, but she even gave him a meaningful look afterward.

Could it be that this guy also wants to experience what it's like to have me call him "Dad"?

Don't blame Shirogane Miyuki for thinking that way; it's just that Shinomiya Kaguya's current state is similar to the calm before the storm—nothing has changed, which is actually the biggest change.

Of course, in reality, it was completely different from what Shirogane Miyuki had thought. In fact, what he had thought was actually what Shinomiya Kaguya had asked him to think of.

In fact, Kaguya Shinomiya originally intended to argue with Hoshino Satoru and Natsukawa Masuzu about their rudeness.

But Hoshino Gokawa came up with a brilliant idea to trick the student council president into confessing, otherwise Shinomiya Kaguya wouldn't have let them off so easily.

"President, we have an essay here that you need to read aloud."

"Hmph... I won't fall for it! You two definitely used puns in there!"

When Shirogane Miyuki heard that they wanted him to read things aloud, he refused very decisively. After being tricked, he gradually became familiar with the routine of this "game". Basically, it used various puns to ensure that he could say words such as "father" and "dad".

"No, President, I guarantee there are no puns in this. If you don't believe me, read it and see. If there are, I'll call you dad... how about that?"

"……Oh well"

Seeing Hoshino Gokawa's confident demeanor, Shirogane Miyuki ultimately decided to believe him this once, though that didn't mean he would forget to conduct his own investigation.

After carefully reading it several times to confirm that there were no puns, Shirogane Miyuki read it aloud in a low voice.

He suddenly stopped talking as he was reciting, and at that very moment, Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly poked her head out from next to Miyuki Shirogane to look at him.

"President, did you just confess your feelings to me...?"

"!!!!!!"

At that moment, with his brain racing, Shirogane Miyuki could easily see that he had been tricked by a conspirator, and the beneficiary was none other than Shinomiya Kaguya, whom he wanted to confess his feelings to.

Chapter 473 Elias

You adulterous couple!

For a moment, Shirogane Miyuki couldn't help but curse in his heart, because he never expected that he would be defeated by other student council members instead of Shinomiya Kaguya.

However, none of that mattered to Shirogane Miyuki at the moment. What mattered was how to get out of the current situation, so he began his first attempt: to shift the blame onto those two bastards.

"Four! The Fourth House! I just read it as it was written! The actual situation is not what you think!"

"It's not what I think! Could it be... that you don't like me, President?!"

Kaguya Shinomiya, who also began to showcase her acting skills, couldn't help but reveal a tearful, beautiful girl's expression, as if her heart had been wounded.

Of course, deep down she was laughing, and laughing particularly wildly.

"Hmph...hmph...you can just collapse right here, President!"

"No! That's not it! Shinomiya, I just..."

What should I do?! What should I do?! How can I avoid these many traps?!

Just when Shirogane Miyuki's CPU was about to explode and he still couldn't figure out how to deal with the situation, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him and he came up with a way to break the deadlock. However, what Shirogane Miyuki didn't know was that this flash of inspiration was actually given to him by someone else.

After all, Hoshino Gokawa didn't want this bickering couple to skip the agonizing stages and head straight to the finale. If they did, how would he watch the live-action version of "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War"?

"Shinomiya, do you really think what I just said was what you wanted to hear...?"

After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Shirogane Miyuki spoke with a very serious expression about a strategy he had just come up with: to make the opponent break down without a fight.

"Wh-what?!"

Of course, Kaguya Shinomiya was completely bewildered upon hearing this, as she didn't quite understand what the other person meant.

and many more!

However, Kaguya Shinomiya immediately seemed to realize something and began to have a mental storm, but she didn't know that the mental storm she was having was the result that Miyuki Shirogane wanted to achieve.

In other words, it means using ambiguous language to make the other person fill in the blanks in their mind, and then using this filling in of the blanks to make the other person come up with a reasonable explanation for their words, thereby convincing themselves.

Does the president mean that a confession received in this way isn't a real confession, because it doesn't come from the heart?

And as it turns out, this approach is quite effective for meticulous people, because the more thoughts they have, the more they think, and the more they think, the more they get caught up in internal conflict.

So not long after, thinking she had figured something out, Kaguya Shinomiya casually snatched the paper from Miyuki Shirogane's hand and tore it up.

"I'm so sorry, President. I just wanted to join them in playing a prank. If you don't like it, I won't do it again."

"If you don't play pranks, there's really no point in having a fourth house. The key is that the person playing the pranks needs to grasp a certain point."

Whew...Whew...I escaped unscathed.

Seeing that Kaguya Shinomiya had truly convinced herself not to press him further on this issue, Miyuki Shirogane finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ah! This is so boring... Let's go, you unfilial son."

"Who are you talking about, you unfilial son?"

"That's you..."

"..."

Seeing the two of them leaving after watching the commotion, Shirogane Miyuki really didn't know what to say. How could Natsukawa Masaki have been turned into this by Hoshino Satoru in just a few days!

Even now, Shirogane Miyuki is wondering if inviting them to join the student council was the worst decision he ever made.

Meanwhile, Tokyo Narita International Airport

"How could it have run so far?"

A British gentleman, stepping out of the airport and into the bustling traffic, couldn't help but feel subconsciously confused.

As for why he was confused...

That's because he couldn't understand how a headless horseman could have come to Japan from Ireland twenty years ago, even though the distance between the two places is hundreds of thousands of kilometers!

By now, you should all know who this English gentleman is: Elias, who was commissioned by the Elf King to find the lost Headless Horseman.

"Sir, would you like a taxi?"

Then, just as Elias was pondering how to find the lost headless horseman, a yellow taxi suddenly stopped in front of him and asked if he needed a ride.

"Um... could you please take me to the Sting Hotel?"

"No problem, sir, leave it to me! I'll get you to your destination as quickly as possible!"

The taxi driver who successfully received a large order looked quite excited. After all, you should know that taxi fares in this country are not low. The starting price is at least 800 yen, which is about 40 yuan in Chinese currency.

Just think about what a starting fare of forty yuan for a taxi means! And you should know that's the lowest starting fare! In other words, taxi fares in big cities might be double that!

So now you understand just how incredibly profitable the taxi industry is here...

Getting back to the main topic, on the way to the hotel, to alleviate the boredom, taxi drivers usually chat with passengers about family matters, trivial matters in life, and their experiences.

Of course, the taxi driver knew that ordinary topics wouldn't attract foreigners, so he focused on talking about some urban legends about the city.

For example... vampires!

"Oh! Tell me about it..."

Elias, who never expected to get such "interesting" information from a taxi driver, gestured for the driver to continue.

Seeing that the other party indeed liked this topic, the taxi driver subconsciously smiled knowingly and then began to tell Elias about various urban legends about vampires in Tokyo.

……

"Guests have arrived at their destination!"

"Oh! Okay, thank you for your help."

"It's alright, it's what I should do. Oh, by the way, guest! If you want to know what the rest of the urban legends are about, you should go to the special urban legend section of Shibuya Ward in Tokyo on the internet, because it records all the special events that have ever happened in Tokyo!"

"Thanks for reminding me, this is a return gift for you."

Elias, having obtained so much important information, gave him a small tip, as there was no guarantee that it wouldn't contain the information he needed about the Headless Horseman.

Chapter 474 Growth

"Hmm...it looks like not many people are missing."

Hoshino Satoru, who was teaching at Totsuki Academy once again, smiled with satisfaction after glancing at the students standing in front of him. How to put it... it felt like farming, like discovering that a large number of seedlings had successfully withstood the scorching sun.

"This is all thanks to your guidance."

Most of the first-year students at Hoshino Satoru's place were extremely grateful, because thanks to his golden ratio spice equation, which anyone who wasn't an idiot could grasp, they almost successfully passed every teacher's pop quiz.

Sometimes, there are even times when an entire class gets an A, which is even more impressive than a freshman becoming one of the Elite Ten, because a class with an A has never happened in the history of Totsuki Academy!

So can you understand just how amazing Hoshino Gokawa is? He has the ability to sculpt even stone into jade!

As for the golden ratio of spices...

Simply put, it's a method to combine certain seasonings to maximize their effectiveness. Of course, since it's a version that anyone except a fool could master, Hoshino Gokawa has left a certain margin for error. But even so, this thing can undoubtedly be passed down as a craft passed down through generations.

Otherwise, how do you think these first-year students, who were originally supposed to be eliminated, were kept? In a sense, Hoshino Gokawa is already their second parent.

"Well... since that's the case, I'll start the new lesson. Of course, as is my usual practice, I'll demonstrate it for you three times first."

Here, when Hoshino Gokawa mentions "three times," he means he will demonstrate the same dish to the students, showing them the difficulty level of making it, such as simple, ordinary, and difficult, and as for whether there are higher levels...

Of course it's possible! However, it's beyond the capabilities of ordinary people; you must possess extraordinary power to do it! Otherwise, you simply couldn't do it!

However, because Hoshino Gokawa's standards are rather unique, most of the first-year students do not know what level these three difficulties correspond to when they are considered chefs.

But what they don't know is that some of the older students don't know either! Anyone who can replicate the difficult level version could absolutely challenge the current Elite Ten! Because that's practically a guaranteed kill dish!

It's about the taste, of course...

In a sense, Hoshino Satoru is truly extraordinary. He can achieve a level of culinary skill that is absolutely amazing, even surpassing it, without any particular intention.

While Hoshino Gokawa was giving his lesson, some teachers who were already working at Totsuki Academy gathered in the school's monitoring room to watch what was happening.

Then, without exception, they all gave similar unbelievable comments, because this is really not something a human could do; if someone could do it, they certainly wouldn't be human.

But the problem is, under Hoshino Gokawa's cognitive filter, how can they not think of each other as human?

"How about silver?"

Kirisuke, who was also on the surveillance camera, suddenly asked the man standing next to him a question without warning.

"He is a monster."
