The Daily Life of Ultimate Creatures in Tokyo

It's midnight.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, everyone had a full stomach and sat comfortably on the beach to watch the stars.

Bai Ge looked around, recalled what had just happened, then picked up the last bunch of grilled skewers and a plate of sugar-coated tomatoes, followed the faint smell in the air, and came to a more remote beach.

As he expected, not far ahead, a young girl was sitting on the beach, hugging her legs, staring at the dark sea in a daze.

Bai Ge came to sit next to the girl, put the plate in front of her, and said jokingly: "What, are you depressed?"

Hearing Bai Ge's voice, the girl finally came back to her senses and turned around in a daze: "Bai Ge?"

"Is the barbecue over already?"

"That's about right. Everyone is pretty full, except you."

When everyone just started gathering together, Bai Ge noticed that someone was missing.

But I was busy at the time and thought that Hayasaka might have gone to the bathroom or something, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Until everyone finished eating, there was still no sign of Hayasaka, so he came over specifically.

"Let me guess, the reason you're so depressed is that you're afraid that one day I'll suddenly expose what you did in the past, leading to a breakup with your eldest daughter, right?" Bai Ge asked.

"Yes."

Hayasaka nodded without disguising herself, and slowly spoke while looking at the sea ahead:

"The eldest lady is very sensitive to betrayal. She is a very awkward person. She neither trusts others nor tolerates betrayal."

"This may be related to the eldest lady's past experiences and the influence of Master Yunying."

"You may not know this, but the eldest young lady was handed over to Young Master Yunying for training and education since she was a child. She used to be the epitome of Young Master Yunying, but she's changed a lot in the past six months."

Hearing this, Bai Ge picked up a piece of tomato and put it in his mouth, then said, "I'm not here to listen to your story, I'm here to solve your problem."

"What you have to do now is make a choice. Since I know about your secret dealings with Sigong Huangguang, you should understand that I have already dealt with him."

"So, there are only two options before you now: either keep it a secret from Kaguya Shinomiya for the rest of your life, or confess directly."

"Based on my understanding of you, no matter which of these two choices you make, you will feel even more guilty towards Kaguya Shinomiya from now on."

"Of course, there's a third option: put all the blame on Shigong Huangguang and let him take the blame. This isn't really a lie, after all, you were forced into this."

"You, the Hayasaka family, are merely useful servants to the Shinomiya family. And as servants, you naturally have to obey your master."

Having said that, Bai Ge stood up and patted the sand off his body.

"Anyway, I've given you three plans. As for how you implement them, that's up to you."

"Come out, you've been hiding over there eavesdropping for a long time. Do you think I, a special investigator, got in through the back door?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaguya Shinomiya walked out from behind a sign.

"Miss?!"

When Hayasaka Ai saw that the person coming was Kaguya Shinomiya, her eyes widened instantly.

"Hayasaka."

Shinomiya Kaguya was not as cold as Hayasaka Ai imagined, but her expression was a little complicated.

After listening to the entire conversation between the two, Kaguya Shinomiya immediately understood what the so-called "deal" was.

In order to obtain information about Shinomiya Yunying, Shinomiya Huangguang found Hayasaka Ai's mother, Hayasaka Nao, who was Shinomiya Yunying's servant at the time.

He ordered Hayasaka Nao to act as a spy, monitor Shinomiya Yunying's every move, and report to him regularly.

The relationship between Hayasaka Nao and Shinomiya Yunying at that time was just like the relationship between Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai now, with deep trust in each other.

Therefore, Hayasaka Nao naturally disagreed with this betrayal, but Shinomiya Huangguang used the entire Hayasaka family as a threat.

Shinomiya Huangguang told Hayasaka Nao that if she did not agree to be a spy, the Hayasaka family would disappear from this world forever.

For Sigong Huangguang, this kind of thing is just a small matter that can be done with ease.

"Okay, I won't get involved in your private affairs. Remember to return the plates later."

After saying that, Bai Ge waved goodbye to the two of them and left.

After Bai Ge left, Shinomiya Kaguya came to Hayasaka and sat where Bai Ge had just sat.

"Miss, I..."

Hayasaka quickly opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

"Let's eat something first."

Shinomiya Kaguya acted very calm, and even smiled as she picked up the skewers and handed them to Hayasaka.

Hayasaka reached out blankly to take the skewer and took a bite. It tasted delicious, but to Hayasaka right now, it was tasteless.

Shinomiya Kaguya's calm reaction made Hayasaka even more frightened.

At this moment, Shinomiya Kaguya said: "Hayasaka, do you know what the biggest difference between me and my third brother is?"

Hayasaka shook her head.

"The difference is: from the beginning to the end, no one was willing to lend a hand and save the third brother from the dark abyss of the Shinomiya family."

"Of course, we also have something in common, that is, we are both timid."

"He was born to my stepmother, and I was born to a concubine. It's not glorious for us to survive in the Shinomiya family, so we have to disguise ourselves."

"Just like when a weak creature faces a predator, it will expand its body as much as possible to intimidate it."

"That's why we cannot tolerate betrayal from anyone, especially those we have placed our absolute trust in."

Hearing this, Hayasaka's eyes dimmed.

She knew that this would be the outcome.

"But I also said that I am different from my third brother. I am lucky because someone saved me from the abyss."

"He made me realize that it's okay to not have to pretend to protect myself, to show my vulnerable side, and to live my life according to my true heart."

"So, I am more tolerant than my third brother, especially towards people I trust."

At this moment, Shinomiya Kaguya had a dignified demeanor and a gentle smile on her face, as if emitting the aura of a saint, so dazzling that Hayasaka dared not look directly at her.

"Miss..."

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't want to, I didn't want to... wuwuwu..."

Finally, Hayasaka could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears in front of Kaguya Shinomiya.

Seeing this, Shinomiya Kaguya opened her arms and hugged Hayasaka in her arms. While stroking her head, she said softly: "Cry, it will be better if you cry."

Meanwhile, far away.

Longzhutao put down the telescope and took out two lollipops from her pocket.

One for myself and one for Bai Ge.

As she tore off the packaging, she asked, "Is this really okay? Although Kaguya has changed a lot, some things are still difficult to change, right?"

"Of course it's no problem!"

Bai Ge smiled confidently, put the lollipop in his mouth, and then said, "I have solved the core problems. They just need a chance to open up."

"Oh~" Long Zhutao leaned on the railing and propped up her chin, teasing: "Why didn't I realize you were so helpful before? This time you didn't even charge me."

"Because I'm kind!"

"If you like to play with memes, why don't you go do crosstalk?"

"Ah, finally someone can understand my bad jokes, I'm so touched."

Bai Ge pretended to be touched and wiped away non-existent tears.

"Your feelings of gratitude are so worthless!"
