Chapter 135 – Kaguya Wants to Be Confessed (1)
“Kaguya-sama Wants to Be Confessed ~The Romance Brain Battle of Geniuses~”
Abbreviated as “Kaguya-sama”, It is a romantic comedy about the push and pull between student council president Miyuki Shirogane and vice-president Kaguya Shinomiya at Shuchiin Academy, a prestigious private high school.
Generally, love comedies deal with ‘holding on to win the heart of the person you like’, but this work uses a confrontation to gain the upper hand in ‘love power’ from the person you like as the main pattern.
Because of this, rather than the sweet feeling of the two main characters snuggling around, it proceeds with a sense of tension to have the upper hand in love power. Of course, there are many people who see it as a work that catches both tension and healing because it has the charm of secretly flirting during push-and-pull.
However, in fact, it is written as love brain war, and read as ‘gag’. Brain warfare has never been dealt with as a serious subject in the work, and rather, the real point of this work is to make readers laugh by showing the pathetic nature of ‘love brain war’.
‘It was fun.’
Basically, it was popular, but after the animation, its popularity exploded.
Because Annie is so incredibly well-chosen.
“There is not enough for me to enter.”
There are a lot of idioty girls.
That said, there is no shortage of going in and enjoying it.
But.
“It’s no fun just going in.”
He purchased the right to change the setting with points.
Afterwards, Gom Gom thought about how to have fun and used the setting change ticket.
“Um, okay with this.”
Seojun, who was satisfied with the changed settings, also finished the avatar settings.
Of course, I used my own for things like her appearance, but I couldn’t forget to add the settings of the avatar itself.
“Then shall we go? Time to enter…”
[Start entry now.]
***
Private Shuchiin Academy.
Kaguya-sama’s main stage, based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, maintains an escalator-style integrated education system from kindergarten to university. Of course, it is possible to transfer, but the deviation of the high school is a prestigious school with a whopping 77, so there are not many outside transfer students.
As an aside, since it was established as an institution to educate nobles in the past, it is also a place where promising talents who were born into wealthy families gather even now, even after the abolition of the aristocratic system.
Seojun was standing in front of such Shuchiin Academy.
“It sure is grand.”
From tomorrow.
He will be transferred to this academy.
It’s tomorrow, but the reason why I came today is simple.
It was to see the faces of the main characters belonging to the student council in advance.
When he came in, exactly after he competed with Miko Iino in the student council elections.
In other words, it was when the 68th student council was newly formed.
That’s why the love between Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane must have deepened.
But what if Seo-joon breaks in at this time?
‘It must be quite fun.’
Sigh.
Seo-joon with a smile entered the room with confident steps.
“Where should the student council go?”
“Yes? Oh! I-I can go over there!”
“Thank you.”
After asking a female student passing by, Seo-joon moved on again.
Numerous female students’ eyes are fixed on him as he walks.
Since the site was quite large, it took a while to find it. Anyway, he stood in front of the student council room.
From beyond the old-fashioned door, you can hear the sound of chatter.
“Then where?”
Smart.
He knocked.
Soon, a voice called out from inside.
He opened the door without delay.
Seo-joon, who quickly scanned the crowd, smiled kindly.
“Nice to meet you. This is the student council, right?”
“…”
The audience was silent.
The eyes of those in the student council were fixed on Seo-jun’s face.
“Uh? Oh yeah, yeah This is the student council. What’s your business? Looking at it, I don’t think it’s Shuchiin’s uniform either. Are you an outsider?”
The first to come to his senses was Miyuki Shirogane.
“Ah, I’m coming to transfer tomorrow. So, I came to meet someone I know who is in the student council.”
“It’s a transfer at this time.”
Shirogane, who had been holding her chin for a moment, asked Miyuki to Seo-jun.
“Once I know. More than that, who is your acquaintance who is in the student council?”
“That…”
Seojun’s gaze scanned the crowd.
With the exception of Miyuki Shirogane, they hadn’t come to their senses yet.
He smiled and opened his mouth.
“This is Miss Shinomiya Kaguya.”
“… Shinomiya?”
At his words, the heads of everyone except one turn in one direction.
“You mean that… ?”
Undaunted by the sudden gaze, Kaguya tilted his head.
It is because she did not know the existence of Seo-joon in front of her eyes.
“I don’t know who you are.”
“Ah, yes, of course. It’s the first time I’m seeing you in person.”
“Yes? What is that…”
Tumble.
Seojun, approaching Kaguya, smiled and lowered his head.
“Nice to meet you, Kaguya-san. My name is Lee Seo-joon, who became your fiancé not too long ago.”
“… Yes?!”
The faces of Kaguya and the other student council officers turned to amazement.

“Hayasaka! Hayasaka!!”
“What is it, Kaguya-sama?”
Ai Hayasaka let out a deep sigh at the sound of her mansion reverberating and appeared in front of Kaguya.
Indeed.
What nonsensical thing are you going to do today?
However, something different happened than she expected.
“… What happened?”
“Me, how can I…”
Kaguya’s expression darkened noticeably.
Ai Hayasaka, who felt that it was unusual, said with a serious face.
“Tell me what happened.”
“That is…”
Kaguya explained what had happened to her.
Ai Hayasaka, who was listening, said that she would be away for a while, and then returned in thirty minutes.
“It’s Kaguya. As a result of asking the group information room, it seems to be true. He said the president himself ordered it.”
“Oh, that can’t be…”
This is Kaguya Shinomiya.
She knew something too.
That someday this day will come.
Kaguya was the child of her mother, a bar girl named Nayotake Shimizu, and her biological father, Kanan Shinomiya. However, Shimizu soon died of heart disease, and her young Kaguya was raised by one of her older brothers, Unyo Shinomiya.
Shinomiya Unyo kept all her promises and treated Kaguya as her younger sister, even though she was cunning, but ‘Shinomiya Oko’, the next successor to the Shinomiya Group, considered Kaguya as a tool for an arranged marriage to connect with other conglomerates.
That’s why it wasn’t strange when he came.
Yes, it is unavoidable.
‘… There’s no way I’d admit that!’
Kwak!
She clenched her fists.
She finally sprouted a name for her love for the first time in her own life.
But it was trampled on before it could grow properly.
‘I have to show that even an earthworm wriggles when stepped on!’
If she stays still, she will always be the group’s doll.
So, before that, you should at least resist.
“Hayasaka, did you know about him?”
“Yes.”
“Tell me.”
“… All right.”
Hayasaka calmly began to explain.
「Shinhwa Group」
Total assets $2.35 trillion, market capitalization $7.5 trillion.
A Korean conglomerate with many subsidiaries in food, bio, heavy industry, electronics, and electricity.
However, their roots were in the defense and military industries.
It is a monster that is capable of self-sufficient business in all areas related to military supplies and has taken control of the military industry market as it is with technology that is at least 30 years ahead of other places.
After that, it reached out to home appliances and mobile phones with the technology, and swallowed more than 81% of the world’s market share.
However, Shinhwa Group is treated as a true monster not because of its technological prowess or its size.
It was largely thanks to the existence of 〈 Aegis Security 〉, a private military company (PMC) owned by Shinhwa Group.
37,520 employees.
All former special forces members were armed with Shinhwa Group’s cutting-edge weapons.
Therefore, they are practically the same as enlisted soldiers of Shinhwa Group, the parent company.
Its overwhelming military power is at a level that even the United States cannot easily see.
Because of that, other organizations were also reluctant to touch them, and the two incidents greatly contributed to that.
One was an incident in which Somali pirates attacked a fleet belonging to Shinhwa Group.
Aegis Security, which was escorting the fleet, defeated the pirates as it was, and immediately dispatched employees to erase the Somali pirates from the earth.
The other is about ISIS.
They terrorized the head office with remnants of Shinhwa Group, which sold weapons to the United States.
The attempt was stopped because it was stopped in advance, but after the Shinhwa Group made a statement that they would never forgive them, they independently dispatched Aegis Security and succeeded in destroying 99% of the IS in a period of one month.
After these events.
Terrorist groups attempting to antagonize Shinhwa Group did not appear.
“… Shinhwa group?”
Kaguya widened her eyes.
Because it was her name that she, too, knew well.
Even the “Shinomiya Group,” Japan’s 4th largest conglomerate group with over 1,000 subsidiaries in various fields such as railroads, banks, and automobiles, with total assets of 200 trillion yen, had to bow its head in front of Shinhwa Group.
“… This is not going to be a match at all.”
Yes.
There was no more talk of her rebelling.
An arranged marriage with Shinhwa Group.
The Shinomiya Group will do whatever it takes to accomplish this.
Yes, even if it means getting rid of Miyuki Shirogane, whom Kaguya loves.
‘If I refuse, I will definitely harm the president.’
Kaguya bit his lip.
In order to protect Miyuki Shirogane, she had no choice but to accept it.
But I couldn’t stop the emotions from running through me.
She held Hayasaka’s arms and wiped away her tears.
“I’m sorry, Hayasaka. Please let me stay like this for a while.”
“Kaguya-sama… You can stay like this until you feel better.”
“Thank you… Whoops.”
Ai Hayasaka comforted Kaguya by patting her on the back for a while until she calmed down.
