Rainbow Road Rivalry: Head-on-Lap Showdown

Kazuma

One race. Winner names the prize.

Chika

You’re on, NEET. Prepare to eat licorice like a loser.

Kazuma

(Blue shell incoming… now!)

Chika

Wait, I got zapped? That’s my own item!

Kazuma

Victory tastes like… well, not licorice.

Chika

Fine… but you only get thirty seconds on my lap, and no drooling!

Kazuma

(Her heartbeat is—wait, is she actually letting me…)

Chika

The time limit was thirty seconds, Kazuma. You're at ninety-seven and counting.

Kazuma

(Her lap is surprisingly warm... and this cardigan is softer than I thought...)

Chika

(Should I wake him? But he looks so... peaceful?)

Chika

Honestly... you're kind of cute when you're not being a pervert.

Kazuma

(Five more minutes... Aqua keeps snoring at the inn...)

Chika

(The Student Council would never believe this... unless I had proof.)

Chika

Perfect. Blackmail material for the next election cycle.
