People in real teaching bring their own maid

"Love you, you've been a little naughty lately?" Chihaya smiled even more "brilliantly" than when she was in Kushida's room just now, "Do you need me to teach you a lesson?"

"Okay, okay!" Hayasaka nodded repeatedly, "It would be best if I couldn't get out of bed~ I'm just afraid you can't do it."

"Okay, then I'll punish you by making you sleep in your own room for a week."

"???"

Having dealt with Kushida, Chihaya's boring daily life has added a bit of fun - it is very pleasant to tease Kushida from time to time.

Especially whenever she saw Kushida's expression as if he wanted to get angry but was forcing himself to hold it back, Chihaya could even eat an extra bowl of rice.

At this stage, Kushida still needs to be "intimidate" continuously, otherwise this person will definitely dare to open a dyeing factory if she is given some color, and who knows what resources she can get by taking advantage of the power of others.

Therefore, Chihaya's order to Hayasaka was not to reveal any important information to Kushida, and just to continue to suppress her.

Of course, it's not just a slap in the face without any sweet treats. Chihaya plans to give Kushida some extra points every month as "sweet treats".

Although she didn't ask about Hayasaka's money-making plan, she thought that since Hayasaka had made a promise, there would be no problem. The maid was not someone who spoke without thinking, and she would do what she could do.

For example, as a director, he could shoot some action movies featuring a man and a woman, but this is also Hayasaka's hidden hobby that Chihaya only recently discovered.

Before the truth about the school came to light, Chihaya's overall action strategy was still conservative.

In addition, through Hayasaka's anti-tracking skills, the person who was following him and the mastermind behind the scenes have been successfully identified.

The person being followed is Masumi Kamuro from Class A of the first year, and the instigator is Arisu Sakayanagi from the same class.

Sakayanagi was already on Chihaya's alert list after the conversation during the exam, so she happened to be investigated together this time.

Hayasaka was now reporting to Chihaya.

"According to my investigation of the surname Sakayanagi, I did not find any relevant information, so first of all, we can rule out the possibility that the other party is a contact of the Gomon family, or to be more precise, he is not a local boss somewhere."

Neon is neither big nor small. Many counties and even cities have local tyrants. Although those families have no power in Tokyo, they are still quite influential locally. Even the prominent families in Tokyo will most likely choose to cooperate with them when expanding their business.

After all, harmony brings wealth, so why not make money together?

"But Sakayanagi Arisu is well aware of your grandmother's Nordic ancestry, which is not something that ordinary people can get involved in. It is unlikely to be investigated temporarily in a closed boarding school. So there is only one explanation: Sakayanagi has a certain degree of understanding of the Himiya family from the beginning. However, I guess it should be from her elders, otherwise your gender problem will definitely be discovered."

Chihaya agreed with Hayasaka's speculation very much. His personal characteristics were very obvious, and anyone who knew him in depth would surely know that there was no such girl in the Himiya family.

"And it seems that Sakayanagi has a disease in her legs. Such a person would be very conspicuous if he appeared in social situations. However, I have no relevant memories, so it is quite possible that the information was obtained from the elders."

"No matter what, Sakayanagi's background is definitely the key. I need to know which side she represents." Chihaya said to Hayasaka, "I'm a little worried now."

"Is there anything you should be worried about?" Hayasaka was puzzled. "If you are willing, there is probably no one in this school who can match you."

"No, I'm certainly not worried about the students of this school. If I can still lose when playing house with them, I might as well go home and have a blind date." Chihaya waved her hand and said, "What I'm really worried about is whether this school will be a continuation of some kind of competition. You see, strength is supreme, and the admission rate is 100%. Since it is a middle school that cultivates a large number of talents, who will be the ultimate beneficiary?"

"You mean—politically?"

"Yes, Gaoyu has been established for some years. You have seen the expenditure. As a national middle school, it has national funding support." Chihaya said, "And the fact that this school has been able to receive national funding for so many years proves that it has played its due role."

"You mean, we should investigate the people involved in this matter?" Hayasaka suddenly realized, "I am being too picky! If we only investigate matters related to the gate, most of them are politicians in plain sight."

"Yes, the next step is to investigate the teachers and senior management of this school, such as the principal, director, and chairman. If there is anything worth paying attention to, tell me. After all, we cannot use the abilities related to the concubines and the imperial gates now."

"I understand." Hayasaka nodded. "If it really involves a political struggle, what about us?"

Hayasaka stopped talking halfway.

The Feigong family is indeed an evergreen in the political arena, and the ancient family has influence commensurate with it.

However, Chihaya's personal identity is a little embarrassing - he is definitely going to take over the business of the Gokado family and has almost no chance of entering politics.

Besides, because Chihaya has always been "uncooperative", he doesn't care about the family affairs at all.

This also led to his lack of judgment on the political situation.

Also not sensitive enough to political figures.

Everyone knows the Prime Minister's name, but not everyone under him knows him. Especially those who are likely to do the dirty work.

Fortunately, everything is still in the "imagination" stage, and there is still a lot of time left for Chihaya.

"If it really involves that aspect..." Chihaya was silent for a few seconds, "Then we can only deal with it together, right?"

"I understand." Hayasaka nodded. She did not doubt that Chihaya had the ability to match her words. After all, she was the person who knew Chihaya best.

"If that's the case, it makes sense." Chihaya continued to analyze, "My mother hasn't been so tough on me going to school in the past. This time her attitude is obviously wrong, but if she wants me to take action, then I can understand it."

"That means you're given an excuse you can't refuse."

"If you tell me your purpose directly, I will definitely not agree. To some extent, this is what they call a mother knows her son best." Chihaya sighed and stretched out her hand to pinch her temple. "Really, even if there is a problem, what kind of trouble can a mere middle school cause? Unless something subversive happens."

"That kind of thing wouldn't happen in a school like this, would it?" Hayasaka immediately denied. "Even if it's for the country or a certain faction to train talents, it's far from the extent you said, right?"

"You're right, but..." Chihaya frowned, "Forget it, now we can only wait and see."

44. Shiina Hiyori

One day after school, in the library.

Both of Chihaya's clubs were on break today, so he decided to spend some time in the library.

The last time she came to the library was to participate in a quiz contest. Although it had only been about a week, it seemed like a long time had passed to Chihaya.

Kamuro, who was tracking himself, basically couldn't track him anytime and anywhere these past two days because of Hayasaka's harassment. And because of Hayasaka's superb skills, some unfortunate obstacles were regarded by Kamuro as bad luck.

For example, a football flew over when passing by the playground; he encountered a truck unloading goods when passing by a convenience store; he wanted to use the elevator but found that the elevator just missed this floor - all these things made Kamuro doubt his life.

This is also due to the tacit cooperation between Chihaya and Hayasaka. As long as Hayasaka interferes with Kamuro, Chihaya can get away immediately.

However, Chihaya doesn't make Kamuro "lost" every day. During normal activities, he doesn't mind having a "little tail" following him.

Therefore, Kamuro only felt that he was occasionally unlucky, but did not think that Chihaya had done anything wrong, so he did not make any additional reports to Sakayanagi.

Like when she was attending club activities normally, or now when she came to the library, Chihaya would just follow Kamuro casually - she couldn't get any useful information anyway.

He and Hayasaka are ostensibly best friends, so it's no big deal if they stay in each other's dormitories, and Kushida can later explain that they are just new good friends.

The most important thing is that Chihaya herself really didn't do anything, so she didn't worry about Kamuro being able to find out anything. After a while, Sakayanagi would naturally stop staring at her, or Sakayanagi would naturally understand that Kamuro was not good enough because he couldn't find any problems after so long.

At this stage, tracking the bald guy in Class A is more effective than tracking herself, Chihaya couldn't help but complain.

After getting some information about the current situation of each first-year class in bits and pieces, Chihaya also had a general understanding of Class A of the first year.

Just like Class 1-B took the initiative to elect positions such as monitor and vice-monitor to determine the class's voice, Class 1-A and Class 1-C also took similar actions. Only Class 1-D was basically still a mess - I heard a lot about this from Kushida.

Back to Class A of the first year, they now have two "opinion leaders", namely Arisu Sakayanagi and Kōhei Katsuragi. The latter is the big bald guy that Chihaya criticizes, and he is very conspicuous.

They are not class monitors, but they have similar responsibilities as class monitors.

Chihaya also got to know Katsuragi briefly and found that he was indeed a student who was capable of serving as class monitor in all aspects. However, Gaoyu School did not seem to have a rule for setting up the position of class monitor. Although it was strange, it was indeed not necessary.

In this situation where there are two people making decisions at the same time, it is natural that one of them will give in, otherwise he will definitely be the one who is affected.

However, these are not very important to Chihaya. The current situation of Class B can be said to be stable and improving. Under the management of Fan Bo, everything is in good order. Even if it cannot compare with Class A, it is much stronger than CD.

Managing a class is too troublesome, so it’s better to be a pretty mascot.

Chihaya thought so, and completely ignored the shrine behind her, and walked into the library with brisk steps.

......

Although they entered the library, Chihaya did so on a whim and did not say that there was any specific book she wanted to read, so she just wandered around the shelves.

It has been less than a month since school started and there is no news about exams yet. There are almost no people in the entire library, and it seems unusually quiet.

This is a suitable atmosphere for quiet reading, Chihaya thought.

Gao Yu's library is quite magnificent, with countless books and everything you need.

Although there was no particular book she wanted to read, Chihaya felt quite good just wandering around in this atmosphere.

This reminded him of his childhood: before he started to study intensively, he spent most of his time in the library. Hayasaka would later complain that Chihaya, who loved to hang out in the library, was really easy to serve, and he only needed to remind her of mealtimes.

"Mystery novel section..."

Coming to a new bookshelf, Chihaya saw a living person she hadn't seen for a long time since she entered the library - a gray-haired girl who was standing on tiptoes and trying her best to reach a shelf of books that was far beyond her height.

This is also a disadvantage of large libraries: because there are so many books, in order to save space as much as possible, the height of the bookshelves is generally higher.

The girl in front of me, who is estimated to be less than 1.6 meters tall, is a victim of this situation.

Chihaya decided to step forward and help. Anyone who could show up in the library at this time was most likely a book lover. His first impression of people who like reading is usually very good.

Of course, there are also situations where you realize afterwards that the other party is just superficial or just pretending. In that case, Qian Zao would block the other party without hesitation.

Unilaterally "sentence the other party to death" without any communication.

There was no way. After all, Chihaya had never been an extrovert, so he naturally wouldn't talk to people in the library casually.

As for this time, it was an accident.

"Do you want to take this book, Shiina-san?" Chihaya's hand reached over the girl's hand, took the book she was targeting, and then asked softly.

"Huh? Yes, thank you Himiya-san!" Shiina Hiyori was stunned for a moment and then smiled at Chihaya, "It turns out that being tall is very convenient."

Chihaya's height of 168cm is not outstanding among boys, but it is definitely a standout among girls.

Most of the first-year girls are no taller than 160cm, and most of them are around 155cm.

"You're welcome. It's just a small thing within my ability." Chihaya smiled back, "Why don't you ask the librarian for a ladder, Shiina-san? That would be more convenient, right?"

"Ah, actually I didn't want to read this book." Shiina blinked and explained, "I just happened to see this book appearing in a place where it shouldn't be, so I wanted to put it back on the bookshelf where it should be, but I didn't expect it to be completely out of reach..."

Well, it's obsessive-compulsive disorder, Chihaya came to the conclusion instantly.

From the last quiz contest, he discovered that Shiina was very knowledgeable about the library. She even dared to look for books on the bookshelf during the time-sensitive exam and successfully passed the preliminary round.

It can be said that a man of great skill and courage comes with his courage.

However, its hard power may be a little lacking and looks a bit dull.

45. The Long Goodbye

"Ah, actually I didn't mean to read this book. I just happened to see it in a place where it shouldn't be, so I wanted to put it back on the shelf where it should be, but I couldn't reach it..."

Shiina said this a little embarrassedly, probably because he really felt embarrassed to trouble the librarian since he wasn't picking up books after all.

"Logically, books in a library shouldn't be placed in the wrong place, right?" Chihaya asked a little puzzled.

"It should be like this, but according to my observation, sometimes it is placed wrong, mainly in the wrong layer or in the wrong position. The general position is still correct."

In other words, non-fiction literature will not appear on the bookshelf of mystery novels, so what Shiina is basically doing is putting the books of author B that have mixed in with the books of author A back to where they belong.

It must be obsessive-compulsive disorder, Chihaya thought again.

"I think it would be hard for people who are interested in the series to find this book if they put it in the mix," Shiina continued, "and putting a book by Keigo Higashino in a Raymond Chandler book would also seem a little awkward, wouldn't it?"

I don't think it matters, Chihaya thought so but didn't say it out loud, because he would never put the books back to their original places in his own library, but would put them in roughly the same place - of course, except for series of works, he would put them together according to the numbers, but would not specifically classify them by author.

"Shiina-san is really familiar with the library." Chihaya complimented her very politely.

"It's okay. I've been staying in the library since the first day of school, and I often have to wait for the administrator to remind me that the library is closed before I go back."

"You are really absorbed in reading."

"You can't stop reading a mystery novel until the mystery is solved. Can you feel this feeling, Himiya-san?" Shiina asked in a soft voice.

Although it was a bit self-righteous, Chihaya decided not to take it to heart.

"You can feel it to some extent, right? Detective and suspense works all rely on this sense of suspense to attract people's curiosity."

"Ah, Himiya-san is so right! This is why I like mystery novels!" Shiina was very excited and immediately held Chihaya's hand.

The incident happened suddenly, and Chihaya almost grabbed and controlled Shiina's arm with her backhand.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to notice that Shiina was really just excited and wasn't taking the opportunity to attack him.

Come to think of it, who would attack someone in a library? It's not like they were filming some Edo fever movie, where they were fooling themselves into thinking that if they hid behind a bookshelf and covered their mouths, no one would notice them and they were doing whatever they wanted.

Chihaya could only give an awkward but polite smile.

"Oh, sorry, I was excited at the moment." Shiina quickly realized his actions, immediately let go of his hand and apologized.

"No, it's nothing."

"After the competition, I wanted to find a chance to chat with Himiya and Sakayanagi, but unfortunately I didn't run into you in the library." Shiina said with some regret, "Through that competition, I can confirm that you two are both people who read a lot."
