Title: The One with the Best Figure is...

“Keep talking, don’t get stuck at such a critical moment.”

Noticing that Itsuki stopped mid-sentence, Ichika quickly urged her.

Nino couldn’t help but complain: “Did you learn the bad habit of deliberately showing off your skills at crucial moments?”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to, I was just a bit thirsty.” Itsuki quickly explained, “Can you get me a glass of water?”

“Really, let’s talk quickly after drinking.”

Nino came out of the kitchen and placed a glass of water in front of Itsuki.

“After that...”

After taking a sip of water, Itsuki continued her story.

“Isn’t it bad to keep everyone waiting just for me?”

Ren seemed anxious.

“No problem, we have plenty of time to wait for you, as long as you honestly say who you think has the best figure.”

“You don’t need to think too much about it. It’s just a personal opinion, so you don’t need to worry about it.” Raphiel smiled and reassured, “Even if you say that Gab has the best figure, we won’t mind.”

“Hey, why are you using my name as an example?”

Gabriel was very dissatisfied with her statement, but before Raphiel could speak, Ren’s voice was heard.

“Then Gabriel.”

“Eh?”

When Ren said this answer, everyone made a very surprised sound, among them Gabriel had the biggest reaction, while Raphiel had an unexpected smile on her face.

“Alright, now that Kamikawa has answered, who will speak second? If no one does, as the initiator of this competition, I will go second. In my personal opinion...”

After a brief silence, Asumi was the first to react, ignoring Raphiel who was speaking and following the process, and hurriedly confirmed:

“Kouhai-kun, can you tell me why you think Gabriel has the best figure?”

“There is no need for a reason for such things. How can we give a specific explanation for personal aesthetic matters?”

Raphiel stopped changing the topic and rebutted her question before Ren could answer.

“Kamikawa just thinks Gab has a good figure. Is there anything wrong with that? Isn’t it okay if he likes girls with a cute style?”

“What if he just mentioned a name randomly?”

There was strong uncertainty in Asumi’s tone.

Sensing her weakness, Raphiel raised her voice slightly and continued: “Before Kamikawa answered, didn’t we state several times that we had to tell the truth? Do you think Kamikawa would break this rule?”

“Well...”

Asumi was silent.

“Under this rule, Kamikawa mentioned Gab’s name. This is an undeniable fact.” Raphiel said loudly, “So, it is also a fact that Gab is the girl he thinks has the best figure among us.”

“Kouhai-kun is here. Isn’t it better to let him answer directly? We don’t need to argue in front of the involved person.”

Realizing that she seemed unable to explain herself, Asumi put her hopes on Ren’s answer.

“The rules of our body selection contest are that everyone only needs to mention the name of the person they think has the best body, and there is no need to explain the reason.”

Once again, Raphiel gave a very proper reason before Ren was ready to answer.

“And as I said earlier, there is no way to give a specific explanation for personal aesthetic matters. Moreover, Kamikawa is not good at speaking.”

“I think...”

Asumi wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Raphiel.

“Senpai, isn’t it too bad for you to keep being unreasonable?”

“You don’t mind, do you?”

At this moment, Fumino suddenly spoke.

“What do you mean?”

Raphiel and Asumi looked at her together.

“Raphi, before Kamikawa mentioned Gabriel’s name, the last thing you said was, ‘Even if you say Gab has the best figure, we won’t mind.’” Fumino repeated what Raphiel said.

“Yes.”

The smile on Raphiel’s face disappeared.

“If Gabriel’s name in that sentence was replaced with mine, would Kamikawa’s answer just now have been my name?” Fumino asked rhetorically.

“Probably not?”

Raphiel’s tone also became uncertain.

“Certainly, because there is a saying ‘no one would mind.’”

Fumino said confidently: “Before you said that, Kamikawa was always hesitant and even needed time to think.”

“But once you said those words, he made a decision very quickly and mentioned Gabriel’s name.”

“I understand.”

After being informed of this, Asumi also fully understood what was happening.

“Kouhai-kun just said that he doesn’t know much about figure issues and needed time to think, but you didn’t give him time to think.”

The smile reappeared on Raphiel’s face, and she tried her best to explain: “I gave him a suggestion, but it wasn’t useful to him.”

“By giving, do you mean asking everyone to wait for him alone?” Asumi took advantage of the victory and pursued, “If I recall correctly just now, Kouhai-kun asked everyone to wait.”

“Wouldn’t it be a burden for him to make everyone wait for him alone?”

“Then you mentioned Gabriel’s name at that time and suggested that there would be no problem mentioning her name.”

“So, in order not to cause trouble for everyone, Kouhai-kun mentioned Gabriel’s name and completed the fact that he thinks Gabriel has the best figure among us.”

“Then how do you explain the reason for telling the truth?” Raphiel still objected.

“What if, from Kouhai-kun’s point of view, everyone has the same figure? They are all number one in his mind, and they are tied for number one.” Asumi mentioned this possibility, “Firstly, mentioning Gabriel’s name does not violate the rule of telling the truth.”

“After all, Kouhai-kun doesn’t understand body issues well?”

At this point, Fumino added: “After all, Raphi, you have spoken in front of Kamikawa several times, not giving him a chance to speak. Because you know, as long as he answers Senpai’s question, everything is over.”

“Kamikawa, is that true?”

At this moment, Raphiel did not intend to argue, but asked with a smile.

Ren replied softly: “Yes, everything is fine.”
