After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

Fortunately, he let Kaguya relax a little just now. If he had used so much force when he really cut, his fingers would probably be broken.

"Although the wound is not deep, it still needs to be treated. Come with me."

"Hey, but the place I just borrowed..."

Shinomiya Kaguya seemed a little reluctant, so Natsukawa Kanade had to become tough.

"It's already this time, why bother with these things? You must be more important."

Seeing how much she cherished the opportunity to learn, I could only comfort her softly:

"Don't be in a hurry. I'll find another opportunity to teach you next time."

I thought Kaguya wanted to talk to him about something important, but it turned out that she just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity at the forest school to ask him to teach her some cooking lessons.

As he really had no official business at the moment, he agreed. However, he did not expect to get off to a bad start. He failed at the vegetable cutting stage before the formal cooking even started.

But after all, she is a serious young lady who has never been involved in housework. It is normal that she cannot do such things. There is nothing to blame her. It is better to say that she should pay more attention to this point.

Well...next time I'd better teach her step by step to avoid any accidents.

"Does it still hurt?" Xia Chuan Zou turned his head and asked softly.

He himself had had such an experience, so he knew how it felt, so it was easy for him to empathize with Kaguya, and his tone became gentler.

"No, it doesn't hurt that much..." Shinomiya Kaguya nodded slightly, her tone soft and a blush appeared on her face.

Hold...hold hands!

Although it’s different from the intimate interaction we planned, it’s not bad at all!

Even my bleeding finger didn't feel that painful anymore... No, that's not right! Didn't they say that if my finger is bleeding, I can just put it in my mouth?

Why didn't the president help her?

Could it be that... he dislikes her? !

Well……

Shinomiya Kaguya recalled the scene when she discussed the plan to capture the president with Hayasaka Ai.

In the comics that Hayasaka gave her as a reference, the male protagonist would put his fingers in his mouth and lick them when he saw the female protagonist got injured while cutting vegetables. Why didn't she do that?

False advertising! Bad review!

As expected, comics are not reliable, it is better for her to figure it out on her own...

"This should be it." Xiachuan Kanade stopped and looked at the small wooden house in front of him. He said to Shinomiya Kaguya behind him, "This should be the temporary infirmary. Let's go in."

"Ah."

When I pushed open the door, I found the room was empty. There were not even a few bottles and jars that should have contained medicines. There were only a few small bottles placed on the old wooden cabinet against the wall.

After a quick search, he quickly found the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ointment. He checked the date and found that it was not expired, so he asked Kaguya to sit on the wooden bed.

"You sit here and I'll give you some medicine."

For him, it was just a minor wound and he could just put a bandaid on it. But if it was Kaguya who was injured, he had to be careful and cautious.

He took her hand and observed it for a while. He found that the injured area was no longer bleeding. So he couldn't help but relax and began to apply medicine to her in a businesslike manner.

"How does it feel?" asked Xia Chuanzou.

"W-what..." Shinomiya Kaguya was a little confused.

Are you talking about the temperature of your palms?

That's very comfortable, the president's hands are also very big and warm...

"Well... let's take a look at the whole process, from wanting to learn cooking to the first failure." Natsukawa Kanade murmured.

"Uh, that's what I mean..." Shinomiya Kaguya was a little disappointed. She thought the president was starting to have bad intentions. He had made her look forward to it for a while, but he just wanted to ask these questions.

"What's wrong?" Xia Chuan Zou asked puzzledly.

"No, I mean... a bit profound?" Kaguya Shinomiya replied.

Although the plan failed due to an accident, this result was not bad. The president was worried about her condition and even took the initiative to hold her hand...

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it was a complete victory, right?

It turns out that the goddess of luck favors her!

"It's profound... and quite fitting." Xia Chuan Zou nodded, but he wanted to ask about some other aspects.

He has seen too many people who became interested in something due to a sudden accident, but only tried it superficially without going deep into it, or even chose to give up when they encountered setbacks at the first sign of trouble.

Although I don't think Kaguya is that kind of person, it would certainly not be a good thing if she developed some psychological trauma towards cooking from then on.

"In fact, I have had such an experience. When I first learned to cook, I cut my fingers several times when cutting vegetables. The dishes I made were not even edible. They were even inedible..."

Because I had a good role model and was obsessed with creating surprises for the angel at that time, I studied very hard on my own and eventually I was able to barely get her.

So what about Kaguya?

No matter what her reason was for suddenly wanting to learn cooking, he still hoped that she could stick with it until she fulfilled her "dream", or at least not leave regrets like he did.

"So, please don't hate cooking because of this. Although the process will be a little difficult, I believe that with your ability, Shinomiya, you will be able to overcome it quickly."

"What nonsense are you talking about, President? I certainly won't do that." Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head and looked at Natsukawa Kanade who was half-squatting in front of her. Suddenly, a strange impulse arose in her heart.

So, she slowly reached out her hand, gently stroked his hair, ruffled it, her eyes full of smiles, and said charming words:

"After all, I am the Kaguya Shinomiya who never gives up..."

"..."

112. Limited Kaguya

His hand involuntarily touched the place that Kaguya had just touched, where there was still some warmth left.

His intuition told him that the gap between him and Kaguya seemed to be disappearing little by little, but his experience with Shiina reminded him that this was just a normal interaction between friends.

Even someone like Kaguya Shinomiya longs to have friends. The only difference is that she is not sure about the distance between friends.

"Um...does your finger still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt at all anymore. Thank you for your concern, President." Kaguya smiled sweetly at him, and he didn't know what to say again.

"..."

Fell into a long silence.

"It's getting late. I should go back for lunch. Maybe everyone is waiting for me..." Xia Chuan Kanade glanced out the window, seemingly looking at the dazzling warm sun that announced the arrival of noon.

"Can you stay a little longer?" Kaguya suddenly whispered, holding his hand, as if wanting him to sit next to her again.

"I want to spend some time alone with the president... Is that not possible?"

"Uh..." Xiachuan Zou was a little dazed.

Kaguya is acting like a spoiled child...

Normally, she is the undisputed princess among the second-year students, and her delicate appearance at this moment makes her even more adorable.

Holding the boy's hand and whispering private love words in his ear, this does not fit Kaguya's image, but when doing it, it surprisingly does not feel out of place, and there is only a deep throbbing in the heart.

Bang bang...

The heart is beating very fast.

Although I was in a dim cabin, I felt that the whole world was much brighter.

"Just for a moment..."

"Yeah! It will be fine in a while." Kaguya pulled him over, sat next to him, put her arm around his and leaned over.

"The president smells so good, is he wearing any perfume?"

"No, no..." Natsukawa Kanade shook his head and wanted to pull his hand out quietly, but found that he couldn't do it as Kaguya held it firmly.

"But it smells really good..." She sniffed lightly and then leaned forward.

She turned her head and stared at him with her bright and beautiful eyes.

"I don't wear any perfume, but I smell so good. Why is that?"

"..."

"President..."

"What, what's wrong..."

"Can you let me get closer and smell it?"

"..."

But you're already so close to me, how can you get closer? Xia Chuan Zou thought something was wrong.

Kaguya's condition doesn't seem like her usual state...

To be precise, it's like he's become a different person.

She changed from a cold and arrogant queen to a naturally cute and adorable girl in love - that's roughly how it feels.

"Are you okay?" After realizing this, Xiachuan Zou was no longer so distracted.

He remembered that Kaguya seemed to have something like split personality, but he had never seen such a scene in all their time together, but he seemed to have encountered it today.

"Is there anything I can help with?" asked Xiachuan Kanade.

Just judging from the screen, no matter which personality Kaguya has, she is of course very cute, which is also one of her cute points. But if she appeared in real life, he would inevitably be worried because he knows this situation.

Will other personalities have any impact on Kaguya's own personality?

Does it just last for a period of time or does it take some opportunity to change back?

Will the personality of another person still remember what he did?

Although his relationship with Kaguya seemed to be gradually becoming closer recently, it was definitely not to the point where they could do such things without any scruples.

For her now, everything is going so smoothly, but if she knew about it, she would probably become autistic...

"Would you like to lie down for a while and rest?" Xia Chuan Zou suggested.

Maybe sleeping is a good idea. Just lie down and close her eyes, and she should be back to normal when she wakes up.

"I don't want to rest yet, President, please stay with me for a while."

"Then let's both take a step back. You lie on the bed and I'll chat with you." Xia Chuan Zou instigated.

At this moment, Kaguya seemed so easy to coax that he even felt like he was seducing an ignorant little girl.

Fortunately, the two of them are of the same age, and even though they are both minors, they will not attract guys who would shout "open the door!" outside the door.

"Well... then let's have the President come too!" Kaguya first tilted her head to look at him, then nodded happily.

"I don't need it..." Natsukawa Kanade wanted to refuse, but Kaguya suddenly reached out and pulled him.

So his body involuntarily leaned forward and made a "wall-dong" - no, it should be said "bed-dong" posture to Kaguya.

"..."

"..."

It was so quiet all around that even the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the trees could be clearly heard, as if it was ringing in my heart.

But the heartbeat was so strong that gradually, it completely drowned out all other sounds until it spread out and deprived him of all senses. All that was left in his eyes was Kaguya's charming appearance, still blinking gently at him.

"..."

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing..." Looking at the confused look of Kaguya under him, Natsukawa Kanade suddenly came to his senses.

I propped myself up and climbed out of the bed, still wanting to escape.

But Kaguya wouldn't give in.

Although she was still lying on the bed obediently, her eyes kept staring at him, and her slender little hands had grasped his palms at some point and could no longer break free.
