「Ikura is the Russian word for
fish roe!」
leaving Shima-senpai alone with her
trivia which I don't know where she got it from, I and Earthworm brought the
ice cream from the dining room, and Takasago-senpai was sitting on the floor,
waiting for us... or the ice cream.
「...Hurry up」
「Yes, yes, please wait a
moment...」
I chuckled as I placed the ice cream
on the plate in front of her, and Takasago-senpai immediately reached for the
spoon.
She has no intention of waiting for
others.
A double scoop of vanilla and
chocolate mint.
I'm sure she'll ask for a refill
anyway, so I double the serving from the start.
「...Delicious」
While Takasago-senpai looked happy and
relaxed, Shima-senpai, who wasn't drinking at all, was fighting with Centipede
and Tapeworm.
This was the result of
Centipede's bad-tempered agitation, "Shima-senpai is the only third-year
student who is not the favorite princess, isn't she?"
（I wonder what they are talking
about now?）
I'm listening to them while handing
out ice cream.
「Well, I've always had a longing
for something like that」
「Longing?」
「Yeah! I wanted to go on a date
to an aquarium or something, have dinner at a romantic restaurant with a night
view, and have him hold my hand and say something like "I was admiring
your face". Then we'd kiss and spend our first night together...」
「Are you a maiden!?」
「I'm not a maiden, you idiot!」
「You're not a maiden!?」
Shima-senpai locks Centipede in a
headlock and grinds her temples.
「Ouch, that hurts! No violence!
No violence!」
She looks like she's in pain, but
there's no reason for Centipede to be hurt by a normal girl's strength.
In her own way, she was reading the
atmosphere.
As I put out the ice cream, I
interrupted her in a soothing way.
「Well, now that the death game is
over, Confinement King-sama can have some time, can't he? Why don't you ask him
for a date or something?」
「I-idiot! I can't do something so
embarrassing! Besides, if he's got time, he'll have to deal with Ui-chan more
than me...」
「So you're more of a manager for
her... wow, that's friendship」
Shima-senpai shook her head with a
subtle expression on her face as Earthworm let out a sound of admiration.
「No, that's not it... Ui-chan,
she's been neglected so much that it's really irritating. She doesn't seem to
be aware of it, but the practice is getting harder and harder because she's
working herself into a corner」
「Ugh...」
「...Why don't you give her some
sleep drug or something? You could mix it into her food」
「Rather than that, I think it'd
be quicker to use a tranquilizer gun or something and shoot her with it...」
「Well, let's just use a
tranquilizer gun and put the sleep drug of all tranquilizers in her...」
「...What do you guys think
Ui-chan is? Well, even though the death game is over, I hear there's still the
takeover of the entertainment company. It seems that Lili-chan and Shiratori
are working on that one」
「Oh, that's
right...Shiratori-senpai...I'm afraid of her because I don't know what she's
thinking」
「I have no idea either. Before I
came here today, she said, "I'm sure she'll come even if I leave it alone,
but if you see that devil girl, tell her to come over tonight"」
「Wow... calling on Lili-sama... she's
not afraid of anything...really」
Centipede muttered, and Earthworm and
Tapeworm nodded in agreement.
In fact, it may be a matter of
appearance, but the favored princesses are too ignorant of Lili-sama's terror.

When the ice cream was finished,
Shima-senpai stood up and grabbed Takasago-senpai by the neck, who was about to
lie down again with the spoon in her mouth.
「Okay, we're leaving. Maybe
Kijima will come out of the bedroom by now...」
「Ah...yes」
Then, Shima-senpai turned around as
she put her hand on the knob of the door, looked at the pot and smiled sadly.
「Aramaki-san... you will live on
in my body」
Shima-senpai is a romantic, despite
what she says. She probably has some kind of attachment to that salmon.
But--
「...It'll be out tomorrow, though」
Takasago-senpai ruined it.
「Wait! Takasago! Don't say that! You
make me don’t want to get it out now!」
「...Constipation?」
「Is that the worst?」
The sentimental mood was gone in a
flash.
◇ ◇ ◇
After 3:00.
I left "the Confinement
King's bedroom".
Akira was completely out of
consciousness, so I let her rest in bed.
I'm going to call Ryoko to take care
of her tonight or tomorrow.
The long death game is over.
President and Ponpoko-san are asleep
and pinned down.
As for Yamauchi-san... well, I don't
want to think about her.
Also, Kirihito Hikami is being sent
back from the demon world tonight.
Lili says she's going to put him in a
container and sell him to Southeast Asia. The money will be used for the
establishment of a new company.
The acquisition of First Beauty
Agency will be completed tomorrow. According to Lili, Shiratori-san found the
investors and made all the arrangements.
To be honest, I don't know her very
well, though I think I should reward her in some way.
It's not easy for me to talk to her
face to face, because I'm easily outdone.
The new company's press conference is
the day after tomorrow.
I haven't heard yet how I will be
involved in the new company, but I'll leave that to Lili.
I'm just a student, I don't know
anything about management.
As I walked into the dining room with
such thoughts, I saw Shima-san and Kei-chan.
Apparently, they had been waiting for
me to come out of the bedroom.
As I sat down across from them,
Shima-san opened her mouth slowly.
「Um... there's a track and field
competition on the 17th, and I was wondering if Kijima would come...」
（Come to think of it, Saori-chan
said something like that too...）
Today is the 12th, I think. I don't
think there are any plans for the 17th, except for radio gymnastics.
「Yes, of course I'll go」
As soon as I said so, Shima-san's
expression brightened.
「Really? Well, I don't mind, but
Ui-chan was wondering if Kijima was coming or not, so she was very anxious!」
Then Kei-chan muttered to herself.
「...Liar, the one who was the
most anxious was Shima-pai」
「Huh!? Oh, you, that again! No,
no, no! K-Kijimaa! I'm not!」
I couldn't help but relax my mouth.
It was so cute to see Shima-san's
face turn red and confused.
If I hadn't been planning to receive
a reward from Kaneko-san, I probably would have taken her straight to bed.
