I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

"Don't worry, I don't care about her life. Report whatever you want, but only once."

…………

Hayasaka Ai felt very unlucky; for some reason, the old man seemed to dislike her intensely.

Miss is going to be a sophomore in high school this year, which is exactly the time when she should be needed. However, after being dispatched last time, she has been dispatched again this time, to another school, to work as a maid for someone else.

That old man completely sees himself as a commodity.

Unfortunately, she was powerless to do anything. She was destined to stay with the Shinomiya family for the rest of her life. If she didn't obey orders, the law wouldn't save her at all. He could easily crush her, just like crushing an ant.

Even if the Shinomiya family doesn't hunt her down, other families will still try to harm her, so the Shinomiya family is essentially her protector.

Unless she has other backers or allies who can help her escape the Shinomiya family.

She carried her luggage and looked at her young mistress, a girl who seemed somewhat cold, with complicated emotions.

"Young lady, I must take my leave now." Hayasaka Ai bowed respectfully.

"Where to?" Kaguya Shinomiya, the daughter of Kaguya Shinomiya, calmly looked at Ai Hayasaka. Last time Ai Hayasaka went out on a mission, her maid duties were done by someone else, which she was not used to. However, she would not disobey her father's orders.

She's about to enter her second year of high school. During the previous final exams, someone who didn't know their own limitations challenged her with their grades and beat her, taking first place in the grade. This sparked a tiny bit of interest in her, but only a tiny bit.

That kind of person doesn't have much use right now, and she doesn't have any other ideas about him.

"I don't know. The master arranged for me to take care of someone," Hayasaka Ai said in a low voice.

"It was his decision? Then so be it." Kaguya frowned slightly. Were they going to use another maid again?

Even if she doesn't like it, she has to endure it.

She actually really enjoyed being with Hayasaka Ai, but she didn't know how to express that feeling.

The upbringing she received in the Shinomiya family made her as cold as a hedgehog.

"Young lady, is there nothing you want to say to me?" Hayasaka Ai straightened up.

"Take care, the Shinomiya family welcomes you anytime." Shinomiya Kaguya thought for a moment and said a normal thing for a leader to say to a subordinate.

She genuinely welcomed Hayasaka Ai back, but the words that came out of her mouth turned out like this.

…………

That evening, Luo Feng and Hayasaka Ai met in the cafeteria of Hope's Peak Academy.

With Luo Feng's help, Shiina Mashiro put down her luggage and then went to eat.

The cafeteria here always has two private chefs stationed there. They usually prepare nutritious meals for the main campus students and teachers, set menus for the preparatory department, and also accept private customization orders.

Luo Feng ordered a sukiyaki as a welcome-back dinner for Shiina Mashiro.

I learned from Yukizome Chisa that the other expenses Shiina Mashiro needed had already been deposited into the school's account. Unless she caused trouble or wanted to buy something, she couldn't use the money. After all, the room and board and tuition fees here were free, and the school also guaranteed nutrition and health.

If she needs materials and tools, she can use the school's account.

If you want to buy something particularly expensive, go talk to one of her relatives here.

"Hello, Miss Maid." Luo Feng smiled at Hayasaka Ai.

“You are…” Hayasaka Ai frowned slightly.

She had never seen this person before.

She initially thought it was some young master from a wealthy family who had taken a liking to her beauty.

She was a little confused, because she had always presented herself as a male butler at the Shinomiya family villa.

"My name is Luo Feng. I'm one of that old man's... well, business partners." Luo Feng waved his hand. This little maid's soul was only slightly above average; she wasn't any special talent.

Tsk, it seems that maids like Yukizome Chisa are better. However, her spiritual sublimation was due to love and the feelings between a teacher and a student, not because of her obsession with becoming the world's number one maid.

Looking closer, it seems there's a possibility of spiritual sublimation within her.

Luo Feng placed his index finger on his temple.

Sisters? Can the feelings for a sister reach the level of Haruno and Yukino? Tsk, that's interesting. So she's a siscon too.

However, she doesn't have any blood-related sisters. How can god-sisters be almost as close as biological sisters?

While Hayasaka Ai was observing Luo Feng, she was also observing Luo Feng.

When he spoke of the old man, there was no respect in his words; he seemed quite disdainful.

Is it arrogance, or something else?

In Japan, no one can look down on Shinomiya Gan'an, not even the Prime Minister.

"Why are you looking for me?" Hayasaka asked.

"I just need a maid, around high school age, the best in that age group. Since you're here, it means you're the most outstanding one in the Shinomiya family."

Clearly, Luo Feng knew how to improve her favorability.

Hayasaka Ai suddenly realized that she was indeed the best maid, after all, she had to take care of such a troublesome young lady.

"So, from now on you'll be my master?" Hayasaka Ai breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it wasn't because I was craving something.

“No, it’s her.” Luo Feng pointed to Shiina Mashiro, who was eating.

Shiina Mashiro raised her head and looked at Hayasaka Ai: "Sensei, is this my owner?"

"Owner?" Hayasaka Ai was a little confused. What kind of title was that?

"I've told you so many times, you're not a pet, so there's no owner for you. She's a maid who takes care of your daily life."

Luo Feng patted Shiina Mashiro's little head.

"Hello, maid. My name is Shiina Mashiro." Shiina Mashiro's gaze fell on Hayasaka Ai.

"Hello, my name is Hayasaka Ai." Hayasaka Ai stood up and bowed. "Please let me know when you will start work. I will take care of you with the professionalism of a maid and will not bring shame to the Shinomiya family."

She clearly remembered that the old man from Shinomiya An said that if she was rejected, he would send her mother to Africa.

“This child lacks common sense,” Luo Feng said. “She knows nothing but drawing, so while you’re taking care of her, you should also teach her some things. I’ll allow you to do things beyond what a maid should do.”

“He doesn’t have the common sense of a normal person…” Hayasaka Ai murmured.

“She’s even less sensible than a six-year-old. She doesn’t even know that you have to pay for food, but she’s very obedient,” Luo Feng said. “Take good care of her, at least let her live like a normal person.”

"Don't be too respectful to me, and don't reveal that I know Shinomiya Gan'an. That's your task."

Hayasaka Ai was a little confused by Luo Feng.

Taking care of someone who lacks common sense is understandable. As for why she lacks common sense, Luo Feng won't tell her or ask. She just needs to know what she needs to know.

As for the confidential mission that Luo Feng added later, she was already used to it.

"Alright, may I report this to the master? He said he needs your permission."

"Report it to him. You can report everything that happened today." Luo Feng added, "Tell him that this is a one-time thing, and that it won't happen again. I won't contact him again in the future, so he can rest assured."

"Okay, I understand."

Hayasaka Ai had no idea that her nightmare had only just begun.

…………

It was already 8 PM when Shinomiya Gan'an received Hayasaka Ai's report.

Hope's Peak Academy, Teacher?

What is this devil up to now?

It is recorded that some devils love sinful souls, while others love to collect radiant souls.

Hope's Peak Academy has many talented people, and perhaps many of them meet the criteria?

"Did the Togami family's kid enroll at Hope's Peak Academy this year?" Shinomiya Gan'an asked.

"Yes."

After about ten seconds of silence, a detailed report appeared in front of him.

The fact that the Togami Zaibatsu is willing to send its heir there suggests that Hope's Peak Academy has some merit.

One of the sensible students he supported told him that Hope's Peak Academy was conducting a secret human experiment to create a perfect human being.

Shinomiya Gan'an remained silent on this matter, only telling him that if he truly succeeded in creating an extremely outstanding all-around talent within a controllable range, then he would hand him over.

“Kaguya and Hayasaka have been together all these years. It would be too heartless to separate them.” Shinomiya Gan’an spoke again: “Since the Togami Zaibatsu is willing to send their heir to that kind of school, I, Shinomiya Gan’an, naturally have the same courage.”

"Notify Kaguya to transfer to Hope's Peak Academy to recruit talent for the family."

"Officially, he's the Ultimate Archer."

Kaguya Shinomiya reached the fourth dan in archery in her second year and won first prize in the national tournament in junior high school. She once hit the target ten times in a row during the final stage, a title she truly deserved.

As for why he preferred to stay away from the devil and even sent Kaguya Shinomiya there, only he himself knows the reason.

Chapter 551 Completely Lacking Common Sense

Hayasaka Ai suppressed her overwhelming urge to make sarcastic remarks, her mind filled with thoughts like, "Compared to her, Kaguya is just a child."

Seeing Shiina Mashiro, who had turned the entire room into a mess in less than five minutes and was now nonchalantly drawing naked, Hayasaka Ai took a deep breath and gave a professional smile: "Miss..."

"Love, just call me Mashiro."

"Miss Mashiro, could you please give me your daily schedule so I can set a time to get up, help you get dressed, have breakfast, and so on?"

"Schedule? Painting, eating, painting, eating, sleeping, painting..."

Shiina Mashiro clearly didn't understand.

Hayasaka Ai finally understood what Luo Feng meant: taking care of this child was the same as taking care of an infant.

Moreover, I need to teach her to take care of herself.

"Miss Mashiro, don't rush. Here, let me tell you how to put things away."

"Ugh, this is so troublesome."

"Miss Mashiro likes to draw?"

"Ah."
