Chapter 140 – Kaguya Wants to Be Confessed (6)
A secluded cafe.
There, a handsome man and a young woman were facing each other.
It was Seojun and Hayasaka Ai.
Hororok.
After passing the coffee, Seo-jun opened his mouth.
“So, why did you come to see me?”
“… Please lower your voice. Even though I’m a student, I’m your fiancée, Kaguya-sama’s maid, so it doesn’t look good.”
“Okay? So what?”
Seojun immediately stopped talking.
Ai Hayasaka, who had been watching him for a while, spoke.
“The thing that Seojun-nim had planned. I heard everything from Kaguya-sama. And I got a rough idea of how things are going now, seeing how things are going.”
After quenching her thirst with coffee, Hayasaka continued.
“… But can you please stop at this point?”
“Hmm, why are you saying that?”
“As time passes, it will surely come true as Seojun-nim said.”
“Then there would be no reason for you to say such a thing to me.”
Hayasaka, who was caressing the teacup, replied with her hard face.
“… I’ll be honest. To be honest, unlike Kaguya-sama, I don’t trust you.”
“Go on.”
“Kaguya-sama, who is not well versed in the world, must have been fooled by flattery. I am different.”
“What is your basis for saying that?”
“I am the body that serves as Kaguya-sama’s maid. Even though I’m completely out of the succession, Shinomiya’s bloodline is Kaguya-sama’s aide, so I have a way to get this and that information. And based on those and my personal opinion. You realize that you see Kaguya-sama as just a tool.”
Is it so.
A handy tool that helps Shinhwa Group swallow Shinomiya Group.
“…”
Seojun looked straight into Hayasaka Ai’s eyes.
It didn’t sound like he was lying. But there was something she overlooked.
Seojun said that he didn’t really care about the Shinomiya group.
The most important thing to him.
That is, to make the heroines their own.
Occupying the Shinomiya group was nothing but a trivial task, nothing more than a process.
But you’d be misunderstood like this.
‘… Is it because of the love comedy worldview? He’s also a bit of an idiot.’
Food.
Seojun let out a laugh.
Ai Hayasaka, who took it as a mockery, asked again with a hard face.
“I don’t want to see Kaguya-sama playing around with your plans. Also, I don’t want to be hurt by this. Kaguya-sama is a person who has already suffered many wounds. It has been recovering little by little lately, but I can’t make it worse.”
“A true maid.”
It’s nice to think of the owner.
But,
“Why are you acting like a spy?”
“… !!”
Hayasaka’s pupils, which were not so blunt, widened greatly.
She murmured in a trembling voice.
“Ji, what now?”
“Why are you acting as a spy, this is it.”
“… I’m the home spy. That is an absurd speculation.”
Hayasaka regained her composure before she knew it.
However, Seo-jun had no intention of stopping here.
“Hmm, I didn’t say a word that you were a spy for the ‘parent family’?”
“… !!”
Hayasaka’s body trembled.
She was the perfect woman, but it turned out that she was embarrassed by her sharp dagger stabbing her heart.
“Haa, to be able to fall for her tricks at least this much. I am still far away.”
Hayasaka, who bit her lip, asked her Seojun.
“How did you know?”
“What is that? That this side also has its own source of information.”
It’s the original work and the namu wiki.
Of course, from the point of view of the other side, it would not be strange to think that a spy was planted in the Shinomiya group.
“…”
Hayasaka was silent for a while.
Regardless, Seo-joon continued.
“Oko Shinomiya. Wasn’t she tasked with constantly reporting Kaguya’s every move to that person? This is true Kaguya would never have known that the person she trusted the most in the group was a traitor.”
“… Did you tell Kaguya-sama about this?”
“No. Not yet.”
“… Okay.”
A bitter smile appeared on her face.
It even seemed refreshing at first glance.
Seojun crossed his legs.
“Looking at that expression, it seems that it wasn’t what you were doing on your own accord, as I expected.”
To that question, Hayasaka weakly nodded her head.
She has been tasked with investigating Kaguya’s behavior and background and reporting to Oko Shinomiya.
However, Ai Hayasaka cherishes her Kaguya like her sister, and has been in pain to the point of shedding tears over her guilt for cheating on her.
This became one of the reasons why Ai wanted to stop being Kaguya’s attendant.
However, that doesn’t mean I couldn’t do anything right now.
Kaguya was the weakest of his direct descendants who could not become a successor, and he himself was only a maid serving the Shinomiya Group.
If he quits, in the end, someone like Oko will be by Kaguya’s side.
For Ai Hayasaka, that was absolutely unacceptable.
But,
“Since you found out, I won’t be able to assist Kaguya-sama anymore…”
She murmured in pity.
I wanted to keep her by her side, at least until she was completely independent.
At those words, Seojun tilted his head.
“What are you talking about? You should continue helping Kaguya.”
“… Yes?”
Hayasaka Ai was taken aback.
What is this talking about?
He is a spy
However, I did not understand that I would continue to use it.
“For Kaguya’s sake, why are you firing me for asking me? It’s better to have it next to you.”
It was unmistakably sincere that she was for Kaguya.
“But…”
She also wanted to stay by Kaguya’s side.
However, her guilt, which had imprisoned her until now, denied it.
“I am the one who betrayed Kaguya-sama once. Even if others forgive me, I can’t accept it…”
“Well, I know how you feel. Sorry, but you don’t have a choice.”
Hororok.
He quenched her throat and continued.
“As Kaguya’s fiancé, I want her to be happy. I need you to do that.”
“… Kaguya-sama’s happiness.”
Ai Hayasaka chewed on Seojun’s words.
Towards her, her Seojun added.
“And running away from here is just escapism. If you really feel sorry for Kaguya, you can solve it by talking to Kaguya yourself.”
“…”
Okay.
As he said
Quitting here is nothing more than an escape from reality.
“… Thank you. Thanks to you, I feel like my eyes have been opened.”
“What, with that much?”
Seojun let out a laugh.
He said with a mischievous smile.
“By the way. You don’t have to act like that in front of me.”
“… Acting?”
“Okay. That stiff look now. You’re wearing a mask for Kaguya’s sake. I know your usual appearance is the gyaru I saw at school.”
“…”
How to get to that…
As Seojun said.
Her appearance was closer to that of a gyaru.
The calm and calm maid she is now is just a fake mask she put on to protect Kaguya.
The fact that she has seen through it so far is something that even Kaguya, whom she serves herself, could not do.
But to think that the man in front of him knew something that even Kaguya didn’t know, he was a monster of intelligence.
‘No, can I just dismiss this fact as intelligence?’
Ai Hayasaka was afraid of the man named Seojun in front of her.
Afterwards, as if to solve her doubts, Seo-jun spoke.
“In addition, you can just think that I have a good eye for people.”
Ai Hayasaka pondered whether or not to believe those words straight away.
Realizing that he had no reason to lie to him, he nodded feebly.
“Since when did you know?”
“Ever since I first saw you.”
“So quickly…”
Seeing her in shock and smiling at her, Seo-joon stood up from her seat.
“Then, the talk is roughly over, so let’s go back soon.”
“… Seojun. I sincerely apologize for my initial rudeness.”
“It’s okay. After all, what you said was for my fiancé, Kaguya. You just did your job, so there’s no need to be so sorry.”
At Seojun’s words, Ai Hayasaka felt ashamed.
What the hell did you do to yourself against such a good person?
Seo-joon held out his cell phone in front of her with her head lowered.
“Come to think of it, we haven’t exchanged numbers yet, have we? This is also a fate, so let’s do it at this point.”
“… Yes.”
Hayasaka and Seojun, who blushed, exchanged numbers.
After that, the two left the cafe and separated. Looking at the back of Hayasaka who was walking away, Seo-jun smiled.
“With this, preparations for attacking Hayasaka are roughly finished.”
Hayasaka would no longer be wary of herself.
What made things so easy was that he sprayed pheromones throughout the conversation.
If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to raise that level of liking.
“I’m busy, I’m busy.”
There are still many heroines left to conquer in this world.
In order to get hold of them all, you have to run until your feet sweat.
“Now then, let’s move on to the next step.”
Ai Hayasaka
