Chapter 43 How about we have a chat?
Chapter 43 How about we have a chat?
Kaguya Shinomiya's mind raced. This noble young lady was surprisingly lacking in knowledge in certain areas.
But at least she could judge the situation based on what Uchiha Ryo said: Hayasaka didn't sleep last night?
No, she still couldn't figure out what exactly happened, so Kaguya Shinomiya decided to take the initiative to find Ai Hayasaka and ask her for clarification.
Bypassing Uchiha Ryo, Kaguya Shinomiya went straight to Hayasaka Ai's living room where she was resting, and then shook her body vigorously.
"Hayasaka Ai, how are you?"
Suddenly shaken awake, Hayasaka Ai's small head was filled with a big question mark.
What? What happened? I'm perfectly fine.
Hayasaka Ai got up, first rubbing her still sleepy eyes, then smiled at Kaguya-sama.
"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well, it has nothing to do with Young Master Ling."
Kaguya Shinomiya nodded, then suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Hayasaka.
"Young Master Ling...? Why do you call him Young Master!"
Hayasaka Ai scratched her cheek. "Have you forgotten, Miss Kaguya? Young Master Ling is an important guest of Young Master Yunying. Last night, he specifically asked my mother to come and instruct me to treat him well."
"That's right, Shinomiya-kun. Your brother seems to have instructed you to treat me, his guest, well."
Uchiha Ryo casually walked into the hall, waved to the master and servant, and said.
"Hayasaka-san, do you have time today?"
Hayasaka Ai was taken aback, then glanced at Kaguya before lowering her head, somewhat unable to meet Uchiha Ryo's gaze.
Could it be that he wants to invite me out? But as a maid in the Shinomiya family, I need to finish my work first... Hmm, then I'll get back to work.
"We do have time, but you'll need to wait."
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "It's alright. I'll stay at your Shinomiya family's residence as a guest for now."
Kaguya Shinomiya raised an eyebrow.
"Uchiha-kun, this appears to be my residence, Kaguya Shinomiya. The person who invited you to stay was my brother, Yun Ying, who left this morning for the main Shinomiya family. I am the true owner of this place."
Uchiha Ryoichi points to Hayasaka Ai.
"Who said Shinomiya Untaka invited me to stay? Last night, it was your Hayasaka Ai who took me to the guest room."
Kaguya Shinomiya looked at her most trusted maid, Ai Hayasaka, her eyes filled with incomprehension. Why would her closest maid be so close to the enemy?
"Kaguya-sama: Love Is War!"
Hayasaka Ai pulled Kaguya to a corner and began to whisper among themselves.
"I'm luring him in deep so I can investigate his study methods. Kaguya-sama, shouldn't you, as a member of the Shinomiya family, utilize everything at your disposal? Although Young Master Ling might be working for Young Master Yunying, we can still use him."
Kaguya Shinomiya pondered for a moment, then nodded and looked at Hayasaka.
"Then the task of investigating him is entrusted to you."
"Understood. By the way, Lady Kaguya and Lady Fujiwara should be arriving soon. I need to disguise myself and then temporarily leave the Shinomiya family to investigate with Young Master Ling!"
After withdrawing from Kaguya Shinomiya's side, Ryo Uchiha approached with a half-smile.
"Lure the enemy deep into our territory? Fine."
Hayasaka Ai blinked, then her voice suddenly became lively. "Ling-kun, I'm fine now, let's go~"
The glamorous Hayasaka suddenly appeared online. Although he didn't understand why Hayasaka had become like this, Uchiha Ryo had no intention of leaving.
"Go? Where to?"
Hayasaka Ai pouted. "Seriously, Ling was just asking me if I had time. Let's go out!"
Since we have the time...
"Why are you going out? How can you waste such a precious day wandering around? Hurry up and get your books. Today I'm going to give you a proper lesson on your studies."
"Eh!!!"
Hayasaka Ai finally remembered that Uchiha Ryo had come to see her, apparently because of tutoring.
"Um, Ling."
"What's wrong?"
Hayasaka Ai glanced at Kaguya Shinomiya, who was still not far away, and her expression suddenly became serious.
"Can you help Kaguya-sama? Actually... her heart isn't that cold; it's just that she finds it hard to open up to the outside world anymore."
Uchiha Ryo sighed. "This is a bit difficult."
"Please, didn't you say that as long as you were there, Kaguya-sama wouldn't get involved in the Shinomiya family's mess again?"
But what does this have to do with the Ice Sculpture Kaguya evolving into the Sand Sculpture Kaguya?
To be honest, Uchiha Ryo is more interested in the future silly Kaguya than the ice sculpture beauty, but breaking Kaguya's heart knot is not so simple.
Hayasaka Ai raised her fist, "I'll help you too. I believe Ling-kun will be able to think of a solution."
.....
An hour later, in the Shinomiya family's study.
"In other words, this problem can be solved by flexibly applying recursive formulas. Of course, for simpler problems, a faster method can also be used..."
Hayasaka Ai, chin in hand, listened to Uchiha Ryo's explanation of the questions while dozing off. She didn't want to listen to the lecture at all; after all, her grades were just an act. If she really put her mind to it, even if she couldn't surpass the Uchiha, she wouldn't be much worse than Kaguya-sama!
"Hayasaka, are you listening?"
Hayasaka Aiichi was taken aback. "Huh? Yeah, yeah, I'm listening..."
Uchiha Ryo turned to look in the other direction. "So, Fujiwara-kun, did you understand?"
Fujiwara Chika's mind was in turmoil. She had come here to hang out with Kaguya! Why did Uchiha and Hayasaka have to be here for a study session?! And most importantly... why did they have to drag her into studying with them?!
There are four people, which is just enough to play chess, or at the very least, mahjong.
"Fujiwara-kun?"
"Hmm...hehehe, I didn't quite understand."
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Then let Shinomiya explain it to Fujiwara again."
In her studies, Kaguya Shinomiya showed the seriousness she should have, and immediately went to Fujiwara Chika's side to explain after hearing what Uchiha Ryo said.
Hayasaka Ai tugged at Uchiha Ryo's sleeve, "Um, I know all of these now, can I go take a break?"
Uchiha Ryo turned her head and smiled. "So, Hayasaka-san was lying to me when she said she wanted me to tutor her?"
"Uh... um... sorry."
"It's okay, do these few pages of exercises first, and I'll check them."
The gyaru Hayasaka says she doesn't want to study, even though Uchiha Ryo's teaching is easy for her to understand, but she already knows how to do it...
Watching Hayasaka Ai start doing someone's weekend homework, Uchiha Ryo chuckled. Last time I copied Shirogane's work, this time someone else did it for me. Truly, as expected of me!
"Fujiwara-san, did you understand? In that case, take a two-minute break. I'll go out and arrange your lunch."
Since the maid Hayasaka is disguised as Hayasaka, a gyaru (a type of stunner) for the school, Kaguya has to go out and tell her what to do, like ordering lunch.
Just as Kaguya Shinomiya pushed open the door and left, Chika Fujiwara lay down on the tatami behind her, muttering to herself in a mournful voice.
"Why? Why does a precious Sunday turn into a study session?! Why not play games instead of having a study session when we're spending our free weekends at home with friends?!"
Uchiha Ryo glanced at Fujiwara Chika lying on the ground and suddenly gasped.
Is this... something she should have achieved at her age? Leaving aside Kaguya Shinomiya and Yukino Yukinoshita, those two weaklings, her abilities are already comparable to Hiratsuka-sensei! It's truly terrifying...
Beside her, Hayasaka Ai's eyes suddenly turned as sharp as a viper's. She noticed Uchiha Ryo's gasp and then offered a self-criticism.
Fujiwara Chika, what did you eat to grow up like this?!
