Gojo Satoru stroked his chin:

"Is it possible that they acted together because they are sisters, rather than for the sake of spell combination? However, the effect of their spell combination is indeed very good, almost as if they were born with it."

Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow. The quintuplets all possessed immense magical power and five different techniques, and their techniques were completely independent and could be perfectly combined with each other. It was hard not to suspect that this was not a coincidence, but some kind of 'inevitability'.

Especially since these quintuplets are connected to Yukino Yukinoshita, it makes it even easier to suspect that the quintuplets' technique was artificial.

Although Gojo Satoru thought this possibility was low, the mere existence of such a possibility would inevitably attract the covetous eyes of many.

Especially those old guys in the Directorate, they've always wanted to master a method to mass-produce sorcerers. Principal Nightmoth was coveted by the higher-ups in sorcery because she could create self-aware cursed corpses, and had to stay within the High School's barrier to avoid persecution from the higher-ups.

If even Principal Moth was like this, then the quintuplets were even less likely to escape unscathed.

What is she trying to do?

Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes slightly, interlaced his fingers and rested them on his chin, lost in thought.

What benefit would it bring her to attract the attention of the higher-ups in the sorcery world?

Chapter 118 The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you.

"Hmm~"

In the early morning, the girl slowly opened her eyes as she awoke from her sleep, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. She raised her slightly sore arm to rub her sleepy eyes, squinted at the window, and seemed a little dazed.

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, casting a soft glow on the girl's pale pink skin.

"Kira-kun..."

The girl's gaze subconsciously began to search for Yoshikage Kira's figure inside the room, but the small room was empty. The bathroom door was tightly closed, but there was no sound coming from inside, making her unsure whether anyone was inside.

"Kira-kun, are you in the restroom?"

Shimazaki Yuna's questions went unanswered, and the apartment was silent, which made the girl look somewhat lonely.

"Hmm~"

The girl bit her cherry-colored lips tightly, letting the sheets slide off her snow-white skin, and straightened up to reach for her phone on the bedside table.

Because of the previous incident, not only was her personal website bombarded with abusive comments, but her LINE account was also 'bombed' by many people. The day before she decided on Zisha (purple clay) teapots, she had already deleted her original LINE account.

The newly registered LINE account has only a few friends, six to be exact, each with the following nickname:

Kagurazaka editor, Kasumi Shiko-sensei, Machida editor, Kira-kun, Miura and Kitagawa.

Before last night, the list only had four people.

The first three were all related to work: one was her editor, one was the light novel author for whom she was responsible for illustrations, and the other was the author's editor.

Therefore, Kira Yoshikage was actually his only true friend.

Whether online or in real life.

Perhaps this is why young girls today are extremely insecure.

She had almost no one else to rely on.

Yuna Shimazaki wanted to contact Yoshikage Kira, but when she opened LINE, she found that Kira had left her a message beforehand:

"I'm going out to buy some breakfast. If I'm not back when you wake up, please wait for me a little while."

The girl's bright eyes curved into crescent shapes, and her face was filled with a joyful smile. She seemed to be feeling a kind of warmth, and she carefully held the phone in her arms.

ministop.

Behind the innermost shelf, a girl with long, straight black hair asked softly:

"Hayasaka, is this really okay?"

"of course can."

With her back to her, the blonde girl with a high ponytail, pretending to select items from the shelf, whispered:

"Based on my extensive observation, this is the solution with the highest success rate!"

The black-haired girl hesitated for a moment:

"Are you sure you don't need to pretend to be a shop assistant?"

"Need not."

Hayasaka Ai explained calmly:

"While disguising ourselves as shop assistants might allow for more natural interaction, it also means serving other customers simultaneously, which actually reduces the time we have to interact with him alone. Furthermore, we'll be confined to our shop assistant roles. Miss, do you really want this to be your only opportunity to interact with him all day?"

Kaguya Shinomiya seemed to understand something, but quickly hesitated and asked:

"But what if he doesn't come?"

The blonde maid's tone was absolutely certain:

“He will definitely come back, because this is the only convenience store around here. It’s the only place for students living in the dorms to buy things. And, even if he doesn’t come, it’s okay, I have a backup plan.”

Hayasaka Ai's expression was very serious; she had been planning for this day for a full two weeks.

Specifically, it involves tracking and recording Yoshikage Kira's daily movements.

After observing him for several days, she discovered that Yoshikage Kira's daily routine was very regular.

First, through stealing information from Nagisa Kashiwagi's side, she learned that Yoshikage Kira was working at Angel Ladder.

My workday ends at 10:00 PM.

Normally, Yoshikage Kira, who takes the train, arrives at his apartment around 10:30 p.m.

Lights out promptly at 11:00 PM, and wake up at 7:00 AM the next morning.

However, in the past few days, Yoshikage Kira's actions have become very irregular, and for several nights in a row, the apartment lights have been turned off an hour later than usual.

Consequently, I will wake up an hour later in the morning.

He didn't even return to his apartment for two days, and we don't know where he went.

However, in any case, Yoshikage Kira will definitely ensure that he gets 8 hours of sleep every day.

According to Ai Hayasaka's observation, the lights in apartment 502 were turned off at around 11:55 pm last night.

Therefore, Yoshikage Kira will definitely wake up at 7:55 in the morning and arrive at the ministop to buy breakfast around 8:10.

On weekdays, he would bring his breakfast to Denenchofu, a few hundred meters away, and take the subway to school.

But it's the weekend, so he'll most likely do what he does: buy breakfast and return to his apartment.

In this way, they can successfully complete their first chance encounter here, which is the beginning of her perfect plan!

Therefore, Hayasaka Ai even specifically suggested that Shinomiya Kaguya not wear a headband today, but let her long, black hair cascade down like a waterfall.

According to the information she stole from Nagisa Kashiwagi, Yoshikage Kira should have a special preference for girls with long, straight hair.

This conclusion is based on Tsubame Koyasu's personal experience.

As for whether the information she stole was false?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Hayasaka Ai is absolutely confident about this.

After all, she paid out of her own pocket to hire Walnut, the world's best hacker, to steal the information from Nagisa Kashiwagi's phone!

How could it possibly be fake?

However, it was thanks to Nagisa Kashiwagi's habit of recording Yoshikage Kira's preferences that her plan could have been implemented so quickly.

Kaguya Shinomiya did not doubt her maid's good intentions and whispered her instructions:

"Then I'll leave everything to you, Hayasaka!"

"Leave it to me, Miss. My plan is flawless!"

The blonde maid confidently raised her chin; she had been preparing for this day for a full month.

If we can't successfully 'bump into' her, it would be a disservice to both her dark circles that even foundation can't cover and the six contingency plans she prepared!

Anyway, she was determined to help the young lady realize her dream today, even if she couldn't achieve it in one go, she would at least do it in one go, right?

Ding!

The ringing of the automatic door made Hayasaka Ai peek out from behind the shelves. The tall, blond boy was walking straight toward the cashier.

"Miss."

Hayasaka Ai looked away and whispered, "He's here. Remember what I told you, seize the opportunity."

"no problem!"

Kaguya Shinomiya took a deep breath, calmly picked up a bag of potato chips from the shelf, and walked towards the cashier under the maid's surprised and worried gaze.

A blue-haired female shop assistant with a high ponytail politely inquired:

"Hello, what would you like to order?"

Yoshikage Kira pointed to the meat buns labeled "Special Tonkatsu" on the heating cabinet:

"I want all the meat buns."

"Ok."

The shop assistant was not surprised and skillfully packed the remaining 12 pieces of meat in the heating cabinet into bags.

Meanwhile, Yoshikage Kira picked up a paper cup and began selecting oden.

At that moment, a girl with long black hair walked up to them.

She looked up at the blond boy in front of her, and for some reason suddenly frowned, her red lips slightly parted as if she was about to speak.

But after a long silence, he turned to the girl behind the counter, his face expressionless, and coldly spoke:

"Bill, please."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

"The meat buns cost 1800 yen in total, and the oden cost 1200 yen."

The clerk quickly calculated the price, handed the bag containing the meat bun and the packaged oden to Yoshikage Kira, and took the money from him.

"Welcome to visit again next time."
