Start with Hayasaka Ai

"Hmm... Is there something wrong with the way I'm wearing it?" Looking at her unnatural posture in the floor-length mirror, Kaguya Shinomiya decided to call for off-field assistance.

"Hayasaka! Come here for a moment!!"

"Hi, hi, I'm coming." Hayasaka Ai, speaking in a dull voice, opened the door and came in. "Kaguya-san, are you having any problems?"

"It seems something bad has happened. Why...eh?"

As she gradually realized her situation, Kaguya Shinomiya's expression became increasingly grim, as if she was about to burst into tears. "Guuuu! Why is it that even the smallest one looks so baggy and ill-fitting? What should I do—Hayasaka!"

"puff."

Hayasaka Ai quickly turned her head away, but her short laughter was still caught by Shinomiya Kaguya's sharp ears.

His eyes suddenly darkened.

"Just now... you laughed, didn't you?"

"No, that's not the case." Hayasaka Ai maintained a poker face and turned back to face Shinomiya Kaguya.

"I'm a professional maid. How could I possibly do something so disrespectful as to laugh at my master?"

"You'd better come over and help me. I think there must be something wrong with the way I'm wearing it."

"Ah."

Hayasaka Ai came behind Shinomiya Kaguya and began to explain while helping her put on the clothes.

"A brassiere is primarily used as an auxiliary undergarment to protect the breasts and prevent them from deforming. It has now become a necessary adornment for adolescent girls."

"This bra is designed to lift the body, and it's true to the urban legend. It visually increases size when worn properly. Miss Kaguya, listen carefully. When wearing it, bring your underarms forward, like this."

"And if you button your shirt..."

pat.

Before Hayasaka Ai completed this last step, the underwear slid directly from Shinomiya Kaguya's body to the ground without any hindrance.

There was really no hindrance at all, and the only forces encountered during the entire process were gravity and friction with the air.

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."

"Pfft."

Hayasaka Ai turned her face away again, her shoulders shaking, as if she was enduring with great difficulty.

This made Shinomiya Kaguya's face darker, and she crossed her hands to cover the little pigeon, "Hayasaka! If you laugh again, I will really be angry--"

"I'm really not laughing, Miss Kaguya."

Hayasaka Ai turned around, and there was no smile on her face, just like a playing card.

She had received professional training and could hold back her laughter no matter how funny something was. It was just an accident that she couldn't hold back her laughter just now.

Chapter 97 Maid Hayasaka Ai has supreme wisdom (4k reward)

"Miss Kaguya, how about this?"

Maid Hayasaka Ai suggested, "Why not just use a bra pad? My model should work for you, and that way you can hold up your winning bra."

"It's not a decisive bra, just ordinary bra - and I don't want any bra pads or anything!"

Shinomiya Kaguya was very resistant to the behavior. "Breast pads are completely evil! What if the atmosphere gets good and I get intimate with the president? He reaches out his hand hoping to feel the softness of my skin, but ends up touching a fake. How disappointed he'll be—"

When the maid Hayasaka Ai heard the word "President" from Shinomiya Kaguya's mouth, the smile in her eyes gradually faded.

"Well, it's up to you."

She said lightly, picking up the bra that was said to be blessed by an angel on the ground.

"Then I'll go take care of this. Ms. Kaguya, you have at most twenty minutes to get ready. After all, the distance from the Shirogane residence to here is only..."

Maid Hayasaka Ai realized the message implied by her words and immediately shut her mouth.

Why did I deliberately investigate this kind of information about that guy before? I was so stupid back then.

But now I am free from emotional burdens, and naturally I have regained supreme wisdom.

It's just a jerk named Baiyin, nothing to worry about.

◇

"Thank you so much for what happened on the train earlier. It was the first time I encountered such a situation. Although I realized that I was being secretly photographed, I had no idea what to do. I was completely at a loss and stunned. Thank goodness you were there..."

Koga Tomoe chattered around Shirogane, and Shirogane would occasionally answer a sentence or two and tell her about himself, which was a natural way of introducing himself.

"Shirogane-kun is actually a freshman at Shuchiin High School, and he's even a mixed-school student who got in mid-term. How impressive!!"

Koga Tomoe looked at Shirogane with admiration, "I'll also be a freshman at Shuchiin next semester. Can I just call you Shirogane-senpai?"

The title of "senior" coming out of the cute girl's mouth gave people an inexplicable sense of comfort, so Baiyin nodded directly.

"Sure, I like this name."

"hey-hey."

Koga Tomoe touched the back of her head a little embarrassedly.

Although there was no compliment in the words, the girl looked shy as if she was being praised.

Baiyin suspected that she would not get many points on the reading comprehension questions in the exam.

After all, although the mainstream voice in society is criticizing the drawbacks of exam-oriented education, it is undeniable that the exam itself can indeed test some of the students' ability levels.

Take reading comprehension as an example. The key is to grasp the author's logic and intention. For example, when reading an article, you can first quickly browse it, grasp the core ideas, and then look at the details. This way you will be much more efficient in answering the questions.

In addition to quick thinking, daily accumulation is also very important, which tests students' perseverance and memory. It is like building a house. If the foundation is unstable, no matter how clever the design is, it will be useless.

"Koga-san, how are your grades so far?"

Although it was unclear why Shirogane asked this question, Koga Tomoe answered truthfully:

"...Well, in our small place, I'm above average. Normally, I wouldn't be able to get into Shuchi-in, but my dad said that if I work as a maid in the Shinomiya family, I can get in directly through the back door through Kaguya-san."

"I see. That's not surprising."

strange?

Is there anything strange about her?

"Um... there's something I want to ask you, Senior. I heard that mixed-school students like me who joined Shuchi Academy midway through would be ostracized by pure-school students. Is that true? I'd like to know what your situation is like at Shuchi Academy."

"I don't know about others, but I haven't been ostracized. If I'm being really picky, most of the students at Pure Academy probably respect me."

"Ah? Respect?!"

Koga Tomoe's attitude also became a little cautious, "May I ask who you are, Senior?"

"The current student council president."

"It's actually the president! I'm so sorry."

The admiration in Koga Tomoe's eyes grew even stronger. "When I was still worried about being ostracized, I never thought that you, Senior Shirogane, would actually become the student council president and gain recognition from everyone, including the students of Junyuan. You're so strong! Too strong—"

"You're wrong. It's not that you get recognition after becoming the guild president, but that only those who get recognition can become the guild president."

Even if there is only one person who recognizes him, if her name is Kaguya Shinomiya, then it means he has the greatest chance of winning.

Shirogane couldn't help but recall his first bet with Kaguya Shinomiya, which was also the time when the two of them really began to develop a closer relationship.

At that time, she was still a cold and aloof ice sculpture beauty. Now, no one knows what happened in the meantime that she turned into a silly beauty with a head full of delusions.

Even this delusional way of thinking has begun to spread to the people around him like a virus, and Xiaogui feels that he has been subtly affected.

Moreover, this habit is not a morally corrupt habit in any sense, and his most proud "spanking education method" cannot be used to correct personality.

This is very distressing.

While Baiyin was thinking about this, the girl next to him was also thinking.

"It's not recognition that comes from being the guild leader, it's recognition that leads to becoming the guild leader..."

Koga Tomoe pondered these words carefully, and suddenly a look of enlightenment appeared on her face.

"It makes sense and is also infectious. It sounds like a line from a hot-blooded comic. I'm inexplicably getting fired up—"

Having made her decision, she also wanted to gain everyone's approval. She set a small goal first: to become a righteous partner like Shirogane, she'd start by running for student union president!

"The Four Palaces Villa is just ahead." Baiyin said, stopping.

Koga Tomoe, who was immersed in her own world, didn't have time to brake from behind and bumped directly into Shirogane.

"Sorry, Senior Shirogane, I didn't notice." Koga Tomoe raised her head and looked around, "Where is the Shinomiya Villa?"

“This whole area is full of them.”

"Ah? This whole area???"

Poverty ultimately limited the girl's imagination. Originally, Koga Tomoe thought that the so-called Shinomiya Villa was just a slightly larger villa.

I didn't expect that such a large private estate could be built in Tokyo where every inch of land is valuable. It would probably take a long time just to walk through the main gate.

Is it okay for her to work as a maid here?

Ignoring the uneasiness of the girl beside him, Shirogane raised his hand directly towards the button in front of him.

So eighteen minutes after the maid Hayasaka Ai reminded Shinomiya Kaguya that she only had 20 minutes left to get dressed, the doorbell of Shinomiya Villa rang.

The maid Hayasaka Ai didn't want to have any contact with Shirogane and originally planned to let a servant open the door, but she saw Koga Tomoe next to Shirogane from the surveillance video.

Uncle Koga has driven me to school for many years. Now his daughter is coming to work as a maid. It would be a bit unkind of me if I don't help and take care of her.

After a little thought, the maid Hayasaka Ai temporarily suppressed her reluctance to see Shirogane and headed towards the gate.

"Kazu..."

The electric riot door slowly opened after confirming Hayasaka Ai's identity.

"Welcome to Shinomiya Villa. I'm the head maid here, Hayasaka Ai. Excuse me, are you the new maid, Koga Tomoe?"

Hayasaka Ai pinched the hem of her skirt and bowed to Koga Tomoe first. Even the strictest etiquette teacher could not find any fault with this maid's greeting etiquette.

"Wow! She's a real maid! So beautiful——" The girl who had just come to Tokyo from the countryside suddenly had her eyes shining.

Even the uneasiness he felt after seeing the scale of the Shinomiya Villa faded a lot, and was replaced by a feeling of longing for the maid Hayasaka Ai.

She quickly bowed and said, "Nice to meet you. I'm Koga Tomoe, you can just call me Tomoe. From today on, I'll be your trainee maid. Thank you for your guidance!"

"Well, then follow me first. Now you just need to stay by my side and watch how I do it. Watch and listen more."

Without even looking at Shirogane, the maid Hayasaka Ai kept her attention on Koga Tomoe.

Bai Yin naturally noticed this obvious indifference, but he did not ask anything. He just followed them to the living room silently.

Judging from her mental fluctuations, Hayasaka Ai, the maid who stayed by Kaguya Shinomiya's side, did not show any love for him at all.

Not to mention liking her, she even exudes an aura of "Shirogane, I hate you, don't look at me, don't talk to me" from the inside out, as if she would get pregnant if I looked at her for one more moment.

After a while, the three of them came to the reception room, and Kaguya Shinomiya had been waiting there for a long time.

Ten minutes is not enough time to do elaborate dressing, and Kaguya Shinomiya, whose appearance and temperament are excellent except for her cup size, does not need complicated and unnecessary makeup.

A simple dress-style suit will do. Just imitate the one I wore to the wedding yesterday. It is simple and quick to put on, and the effect is amazing.

I saw that she was wearing the necklace that Baiyin had given her before, and she was wearing a white off-shoulder top with delicate ruffles on the shoulders, showing her girlish beauty.

A dark belt was tied around the waist, which perfectly outlined the slender waist.

She wore a red long skirt with a high slit on the left side, revealing the dark lining underneath. A large bow was tied on one side of the skirt, and as she walked, the hem of the skirt rose slightly, showing her agility.

She wore a pair of black pointed mid-heel shoes with a black ribbon tied around her ankles, which not only lengthened her leg lines but also echoed the overall style of her outfit, showing her elegant temperament.

This was the first time that Shirogane had seen Kaguya Shinomiya dressed in casual clothes like she was going to attend an important party.

The last time she went shopping with Xiaogui and the others, she was obviously wearing a casual style. But today's look left a particularly deep impression on people, and made people clearly feel her exquisite side as a young lady.

It even shocked Koga Tomoe who was standing beside her. Compared to the many exclamations in Baiyin's heart, her surprise was much simpler and more straightforward.

"So beautiful! Is this the legendary Miss Kaguya..."

Forgive her for her poor Chinese grades and her terrible composition, so the same few adjectives are repeated over and over again. Even if the praise is sincere, it sounds a bit monotonous.

"Good morning, President, and Tomoe-chan."
