Diego walked alongside Kaguya, their conversation flowing easily as they headed towards the chemistry lab. Despite the grandeur of the school, he felt at ease, thanks to Kaguya's welcoming presence.
"I still can't believe you aced that last chemistry test," he marveled, glancing at her with admiration.
"It's all about understanding the elements," she replied with a modest shrug, her eyes twinkling with a hint of pride.
Kaguya paused, turning to Diego with a mischievous smile. "There's a big event at the mall this weekend. Would you like to come with me? My treat," she offered.
Diego hesitated, thoughtful. "I don't know, Kaguya. I don't want to take advantage," he admitted, though the idea intrigued him.
Diego stood in awe as Haysaka, the ever-present attendant, greeted him at the door. "Please, make yourself comfortable in the parlor. Kaguya will join you shortly," she instructed, her voice carrying a mix of professionalism and warmth.
Diego wandered, his curiosity piqued by the history encapsulated in the photographs. "So much history in these walls," he murmured, pausing at a picture of Kaguya and Haysaka as children. "Even then, they seemed inseparable," he noted with a smile.
He considered the jewels on display, a testament to the wealth that set Kaguya apart. "Such beautiful gems,"[@ch_1_d] he reflected. [@ch_1_d]”I wonder if I envy her or pity the weight of such wealth,” he thought, pondering the complexities of their different worlds.
Diego straightened up, ready to embark on another adventure with Kaguya. "Here's to a day of surprises," he whispered to himself, excitement tingling in his veins as Kaguya appeared at the door, ready for their outing.
