The Council's Road, Not Taken (Kaguya-sama/Oregairu Spinoff)

[ x ] share e-mail

To share a LINE imply that Hikki intends to contact them in a casual way. In addition, LINE would allow him to join a group.
Summary, that would make Hikki want to be a riajuu, or even trying to get close to the girls.
In this awful world of backstab and convoluted plan, it's one of the worst case.
...seems I'm late. Meh, as usual then
 
Although, forgot to ask. Or probably forgot to read if you already write about this before.
The original fic has the Ice Queen, Yukino as part of Shuchiin Students, specifically the Volunteer ( I guess?) Club.
Will she appear here as well?

Yes.
 
I kinda hope Kino and Kose take a liking to Saize. They could start using it a place to have incognito meetings and as a "secret" place to go to talk about Kaguya or Prez x Kaguya.
 
Is there a chance the we will meet characters from Oregairu like Yukino, Saika, Yui, and others?

I just want to know in advance so I (and other readers) won't get disappointed in the future.

[X] Share a LINE.

More buddies for Hachimam I guess.

To be honest, you're conflicted. On the other hand, you feel that giving LINE feels a little too soon, it's just against your sensibilities. Make no mistake, you think giving LINE on the first meeting is normie crap, and that's bad.

It feels like too much a leap, ignoring personal space.

On the other hand, giving an e-mail feels too formal and distant. And you don't want to get laughed at for being too much of a goody-two-shoes. Even office workers nowadays use LINE, e-mail is very old fashioned. It's like sending letters in the age of Fax.

Perhaps it's the reason why you get dumped and ignored all the time in middle school. You're just not ready into this messaging thing.

It's easy to block or get blocked via e-mail contact, but blocking or getting blocked in LINE carries so much more connotation of hostility compared to e-mail. Not to mention, you can tell if you're being ignored purposely in LINE.

That's going to hurt.

You're not ready for that kind of pain again.

"Is e-mail fine?"

"What? You didn't use LINE?"

You exchanged mail addresses with both girls quickly.

"I use E-mail with Miyuki, I mean President Shirogane too."

That wasn't technically a lie, as Miyuki doesn't have a smartphone, the two of you basically communicate with each other through E-mail and normal phone call instead. Aside from Momo, the other girls that you have on your LINE contacts are your sister Komachi, and Miyuki's sister, Kei. You don't need to tell these two Mass Media girls that you do, in fact, use LINE.

A lot of people told Miyuki to cave in and get with the times, but so far he still refused to budge. This is not really a secret, so you're fine disclosing it, as many other people in regular contact with Miyuki knew that fact.

"Ahh, I'm using the same method of communication as President. I'm so happy!" Kino yells out, borderline ecstatic even. Of course, even Kose feel disturbed with that brazen display of fangirlism, "Maybe Kaguya-sama too, only exclusively use E-mail with him!"

"Get a grip Karen, what are you doing?" Kose practically yanks her from the sheer anger. "There's no way the smart and dignified Kaguya-sama can be behind the times like that."

You're about to say that using e-mail is exactly the kind of traditional Ojou archetype would do. Honestly, could that Ice goddess even use emoticon if it would save her life? But you don't want to get involved any more than you already are. Besides, you might cause Kose's own fangirl side to erupt saying that. No way.

Let alone being ignored, you have this nagging feeling that you might get harassed instead. This is some monkey paw's shit. Having these two on your contact list might not be worth bragging.

"...I don't even know what to say back in response." You tell them, wryly smiling at the same time. "See you later then."

"Ah, see you later." The two girls momentarily stopped fighting to say goodbye.

At times like this, a strategic retreat is absolutely mandatory!

Anyway, since tomorrow is Saturday, and you have no club activity, you'd probably go to Chiba and spend weekends there, lazying around the house with your beloved cute little sister. That would be nice.
