"In my opinion, the three of you in your team are more valuable than equipment or props..."
Just then, Asagiri suddenly noticed that Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya were staring at him with slightly surprised looks, and couldn't help but look speechless.
"Although I don't know what you're thinking, I feel like you've misunderstood what I meant. I mean, if there's any action in the real world that needs your help, then come and help. That's what I mean, understand?"

Chapter 61 The Love Detective Suffers a Utter Defeat.
"Oh, so that's it..."
Seeing Fujiwara Chika's relieved yet somewhat wistful expression, Asagiri couldn't help but remark.
Why do you seem so down?
"Huh? Um... I, I..."
Fujiwara Chika stammered, then suddenly pulled out a large box from somewhere and solemnly changed the subject.
"Young man, I see you have extraordinary talent; you're a one-in-a-million board game prodigy. How about a thrilling UNO game?"
Asagiri glanced at Fujiwara Chika up and down and said with a light laugh.
"Where did you pull this out from? Could it be some kind of system-certified equipment?"
"No, but this..."
Halfway through her speech, Fujiwara Chika suddenly produced a pipe-shaped candy with lightning speed, put it in her mouth, and chuckled indistinctly.
"This can be considered a prop, or you could call it equipment."
"is it?"
Asagiri took two steps forward and extended her hand to Fujiwara Chika.
"Let me play with it."
"Here."
Fujiwara Chika took the pipe-shaped candy out of her mouth and handed it to Asagiri first. Then, as if she suddenly realized something, she blushed slightly and whispered.
"Um... I just sucked on it, so please don't mind..."
"You're crazy, I'm not going to eat it."
"Eh? Isn't it?"
Seeing Asagiri take the pipe-shaped candy and then take out her phone from her pocket, Fujiwara Chika realized that she had misunderstood him. Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she wished she could disappear into the ground on the spot.
What exactly did I just say?
How can I ask Utsunomiya-san not to dislike me?
On the other hand, isn't that saying that you don't look down on him and are willing to share a candy with him?
This is so embarrassing!
When Fujiwara Chika inadvertently turned her head, she saw Shinomiya Kaguya with a calm expression, but a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes as she stared intently at her, seemingly releasing some kind of killing intent.
"Fujiwara classmate..."
Fujiwara Chika knew Shinomiya Kaguya's personality and knew that when the other party addressed her like that, it meant she was really angry. She immediately stuck out her tongue, trying to get away with it by being cute, and smiled sweetly in a silly way.
"Kaguya, um, I..."
"Fujiwara Chika..."
Kaguya Shinomiya covered her lips and chuckled softly. Although her voice was tinged with laughter, it gave off a cold and ruthless feeling.
"It's okay, don't worry about it."
Fujiwara Chika was on the verge of tears, thinking to herself, "You don't look like you're 'it's okay' or 'don't worry about it' at all, do you?"
At this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya's inner thoughts were completely different from the smile on her face.
The evil pink-haired Fujiwara Chika is truly a cancer on Earth.
Wouldn't it be better if this kind of cancer on Earth disappeared from the world as soon as possible?
[Pipe-shaped candy (prop): A realistic-looking pipe-shaped candy]
Seeing the system introduction that popped up on her phone, Asagiri smiled noncommittally and handed the candy to Fujiwara Chika.
"Here, I've seen it, here you go."
"what……"
Fujiwara Chika subconsciously opened her mouth, wanting to put the pipe-shaped candy in her mouth, but at that moment she felt the sharp, cold gaze of Shinomiya Kaguya beside her, and quickly interrupted her action, taking the candy back from Asagiri's hand instead.
After watching the whole process, Asuna Yuuki frowned slightly, feeling that something was not quite right.
After several months of getting to know her, she realized that Fujiwara Chika wasn't very good at reading the room and often said or did things that were off-topic, but...
Did we go a bit too far today?
This goes beyond simply not being able to read the room; it feels like it's intentional, or perhaps something they couldn't help but do?
Is it...
Asuna Yuuki dared not think any further. In her mind, the type of boy that Chika Fujiwara had once told her about would be her favorite resurfaced once more.
He has a somewhat rough and tough personality, is very handsome, but can also show gentleness at times.
Isn't this just a problem with the answer itself?
"Um, well..."
Sensing the atmosphere becoming somewhat silent, Fujiwara Chika shook the large box in her hand, making the sound of playing cards clattering.
"Really, how about a tense and exciting game of UNO?"
……
Ten minutes later.
"Ugh!! How come you're the first to finish playing your cards again..."
Seeing Fujiwara Chika's incredulous and unacceptable expression, Iwanaga Kotoko, who had finished playing all her cards first, smiled smugly.
"Although this is my first time playing, the game is very simple. Just remember the total number of each type of card, remember the cards that have already been played, and then deduce the types of cards the other players hold, and you can easily win!"
"Tch... So Iwanaga-kun, you're actually this strong..."
With a defiant look on her face, Fujiwara Chika glanced at the stack of cards on the table, then gathered them together, quickly shuffled them, and launched another challenge, revealing a sweet and innocent smile.
"Alright, let's start dealing the cards for the next round..."
"Wait a moment."
Just as Fujiwara Chika was about to start dealing the cards, Asagiri stopped her hand and smiled back.
"Fujiwara-san, can you deal me the cards first?"
"Um...this..."
Fujiwara Chika's smile was somewhat stiff, as if she were a little flustered.
"Then...okay..."
After the cards were dealt, Fujiwara Chika, who had finished playing her cards last in the previous round, was the first to play. Her voice lacked confidence as she spoke softly.
"Green 2..."
"Green reversed."
“Um… Green 7.”
When it was Asagiri's turn again after a round, he played a colorful card. As the game progressed, Asagiri's hand quickly dwindled until he played all his cards. Even Asuna Yuuki realized something was wrong.
"Why do you have only wild cards that change color? Did you cheat?"
"They cheated."
Asagiri nodded without any attempt to hide it, then pointed to Fujiwara Chika, who was sitting there, sweating profusely and looking visibly nervous and embarrassed, and said with a smile.
"But I wasn't the one who cheated."
"It wasn't you... could it be..."
Asuna Yuuki looked at Chika Fujiwara and, seeing her unusual expression, asked in surprise.
"Chika, you cheated?!"
Fujiwara Chika was drenched in sweat.
Kotoko Iwanaga covered her mouth and chuckled. Although her figure was far flatter than Chika Fujiwara's, she displayed a superior attitude at this moment and criticized without any mercy.
"Ugh, it's so shameful. It was supposed to be a game between friends, but they had to resort to such despicable means. What's even more ridiculous is that Asagiri found out and made him the winner. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be alive now."
Fujiwara Chika was on the verge of tears, her lips trembling as she tried to make a final struggle, but Shinomiya Kaguya spoke in a calm tone.
"That's just how she is; she really likes to cheat."
Following this series of attacks, Asagiri appeared and delivered the fatal blow that completely broke Fujiwara Chika's defenses.
"As a member of the board game club, you play games you're good at against us laymen, yet you lose so badly that you have to cheat, and in the end you still lose. Fujiwara Chika... you're so weak."
"woo woo woo woo……"
Fujiwara Chika finally broke down completely. She stood up, her face ashen, as if she had lost all hope, her eyes devoid of any light.
"Um... I was so embarrassed that I wanted to die, so I'm going back now..."
Where are you going?
Before Fujiwara Chika could even leave the house, Shinomiya Kaguya called out to her.
"Have you forgotten? We're going to Ashikaga-sensei's special training later with Utsunomiya-kun and the others."
"Who said I was going to go on special training with you guys?"
Upon hearing this, Kotoko Iwanaga instantly switched to a grumpy expression, cupping her fair cheeks in her hands and puffing out her cheeks in a huff.
"Don't make my date with Asagiri happen."
"It's okay, you guys go have fun."
Asuna Yuuki smiled gently, tucked her long, flaxen hair behind her ear, and spoke softly.
"I'll take those two girls and Hayasaka with me to get special training with Ashikaga-sensei."
"Eh? Really?"
Kotoko Iwanaga looked delighted and hugged Asuna Yuuki tightly.
"Thank you, Asuna~"
Just when Asuna Yuuki thought Kotoko Iwanaga had finally returned to normal, she heard her suddenly change the subject.
"Then I'll forgive you for being a 'cheating cat,' okay?"
Asuna Yuuki rolled her eyes and said irritably.
"You've forgiven her?"
"fine."
Asagiri reached out and ruffled the hair of Iwanaga Kotoko and Yuuki Asuna with both hands, and said with a smile.
"I have absolutely no objection to doing that kind of thing together next time."
Upon hearing this, Asuna Yuuki's face flushed red. She glanced at Chika Fujiwara and Kaguya Shinomiya sitting next to her and lowered her voice.
"Chika and Shinomiya are still here... Don't talk nonsense..."
"That's right, Utsunomiya-kun, this is the student council room."
Kaguya Shinomiya frowned slightly and said in a serious tone.
"How can you bring something like kissing into the open?"
A silence fell over the air.
"Ok?"
Kaguya Shinomiya sensed the unusual silence and asked with slight confusion.
