I refuse to be a plagiarist

So....”

Take a deep breath.

At this moment, he turned around, looked seriously into the girl's big sapphire eyes, and spoke in a surprisingly normal tone:

"Don't keep anything to yourself.

Although I'm not a smart person, I think there shouldn't be any problem if I come up with some tricks based on the existing rules.

right? "

"...I believe it."

He nodded gently to the boy in front of him.

The concern and confidence shown by Hasegawa obviously made Hayasaka Ai feel a little warm.

The haze lingering in my heart dissipated slightly.

However, since she had kept it in her heart for so long, it was obviously impossible to resolve this matter immediately.

"But if I really encounter any trouble, I will seek your help.

By that time...you won't refuse, right?"

"Huh~ What are you talking about?!"

He clenched his right fist and gently patted his chest.

Faced with the girl's somewhat anxious words, Hasegawa responded immediately without saying a word.

At this point, judging from Hayasaka Ai's reaction, he felt that he had roughly guessed what was bothering her.

[It's just something about the Shinomiya family....]

[But whether it was that young lady or something else, it’s really hard to say. ]

To be honest, he himself doesn't quite understand the affairs between these big conglomerates.

However, in Hasegawa Hide's opinion, as a worker, it would not be difficult for Hayasaka to extricate himself from the situation as long as he made reasonable use of the existing rules.

It's not an illegal organization like a brewery. If you resign, Mr. Gin will shoot you all over the world.

The more glamorous something is, the more it will care about its own reputation. In the Internet age, where information is transmitted extremely quickly, even the slightest stain will be quietly magnified by people with ulterior motives through public opinion.

At best, he and Hayasaka Ai were just ordinary people working to make a living. In terms of absolute strength, compared with a giant like the Shinomiya Group, they were like an egg against a rock.

But at the same time, for the Shinomiya Group, getting their flawless body covered with dirty fluids just for two eggs that could be crushed at any time was not a suitable deal in any way.

Capital pursues profit, and capitalists have the profit-seeking mentality ingrained in their bones.

As for a consortium of the level of Shinomiya, the vested interests behind it would never allow the ship carrying glory and wealth under their feet to deviate from its direction because of trivial matters.

Chapter 145: A Small Gift for Entertainment

"came back?"

"Ah, young lady."

A dull conversation took place in the Shinomiya residence.

In the gorgeous boudoir, Hayasaka in a maid outfit and Shinomiya in a nightgown looked at each other, each other's faces deeply reflected in their pupils.

The two are master and servant, but they are also best friends who grew up together and are like real sisters.

So, although Kaguya, as her master, did not say much about her little maid's frequent outings recently, she had already been quite dissatisfied in her heart.

——I thought Hayasaka was also a reserved girl with a noble family background, but she was seduced by a classmate from another school!

"Recently...some changes seem to have occurred.

Is it because of that boy named Hasegawa?"

It was clearly a question, but when it was spoken, the tone used was extremely affirmative.

Facing the gaze from her own young lady, Hayasaka Ai slightly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she met the other's dark red eyes without any escape:

"Well, I met you online a long time ago, but we only started meeting offline last year."

"oh----?"

The slightly elongated tone of voice expressed the young lady's inner distrust of someone.

As the daughter of a direct descendant of the head of a large conglomerate, although she has three older brothers, she grew up in such an environment and is naturally more mature than one can imagine.

Intrigues and schemes are just small matters to them.

So after noticing the changes in Hayasaka Ai, Shinomiya Kaguya's first reaction was whether her friend was being plotted against by someone with ulterior motives.

Even if I am very confident in Hayasaka's abilities, how can I be sure of some things?

So to be on the safe side, she decided to remind the other party.

Facing Miss Kaguya's unique explanation, Hayasaka took a deep breath and then began to explain:

"Please rest assured, Miss. That guy is innocent and has no problems at all."

As sisters, they have grown up together in similar environments. Everything that Shinomiya Kaguya can think of, Hayasaka Ai has also thought about.

If anyone were to ask who was the first to secretly investigate Hasegawa Hide, it was definitely her, the most proactive attendant of the Shinomiya family.

But after a series of contacts, it turned out that the guy really didn't have any bad intentions.

Not to mention things like corporate espionage.

Besides...when we first met on the Internet, if I remember correctly, it seemed that I was the one who took the initiative to visit the other person's homepage first.

"and......."

"and?"

“The young lady should also know this.

That guy has been friends with the president for a long time."

There was a hint of mysterious color in the deep blue eyes.

Facing Hayasaka's additional explanation, Shinomiya Kaguya was also slightly stunned, and then slowly lowered her eyes:

"The president's friend...it seems to be true."

Murmuring thoughtfully.

Compared to Hasegawa Hide, whom she had only met a few times, the student council members were undoubtedly much more friendly to Shinomiya Kaguya.

As for the fact that Hasegawa Hide and Shirogane Miyuki are friends, although the latter rarely mentions it in the student union, she knows something about it.

Moreover, as Hasegawa's relationship with Ishigami, Secretary Fujiwara and others becomes increasingly familiar, the young lady is now able to hear more about them.

Love the house and the whole thing.

The friends around me are all like this, so it seems that the other party really has no suspicion.

“Huh… okay.

But no matter what, Hayasaka, you have been traveling too frequently recently. If this continues, the family will definitely complain."

This is the inconvenience of being in a large family.

If you enjoy the resources and treatment, then correspondingly, you must act strictly in accordance with the internal rules.

Although Kaguya Shinomiya is the daughter of a noble family, she is strictly bound in a framework in her daily life, like a bird in a cage. She seems noble but has no freedom at all.

In fact, this is the same price that the orc warlocks pay for casting forbidden spells in exchange for power.

After all, if this young lady is a bird in a cage without freedom, then ordinary people outside may not even have wings.

And when the other party breaks the so-called cage, then the sky will be high and the birds will fly freely.

In comparison, although Hayasaka Ai, as a part-time worker, is also restricted due to her position, she is still much freer.

But at the same time, this freedom has its limits within the system, so even Kaguya can't help this partner give the green light on certain things.

"oh, I understand now."

Faced with this caring reminder from her eldest lady, Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly, saying that she would pay attention to the arrangement of her time in the future and not leave too many handles for the people in her family to find fault with.

Although it won't really get in the way, it's still uncomfortable when a group of people start nagging at you.

She is also a human being!

A person who is in the prime of his life, who can be happy, sad, cry, and occasionally lose his temper.

Apart from her mother who was rarely with her, she didn't want to be nagged by any strange person.

Especially those guys sent by our family, who were dressed in professional attire, looked like robots, expressionless and businesslike.

It’s really... so annoying!

When a person encounters something that makes him feel upset, in addition to self-adjustment, he always needs to vent his feelings through something.

In this regard, Hasegawa's suggestion is very simple, which is to simply sing and dance, eat and drink.

Of course, if it were him, he might choose to lie in bed all day or spend a few hours assembling models.

The immersive experience can relax your whole body and mind.

As for whether you will still be confused after resting, that depends on one's own opinion.

So after learning that the girl would not be able to move freely in the near future, he made a prompt decision and prepared a small gift for her to kill time.

The square box was placed in the lounge room at the main gate of Shuchiin.

When Hayasaka received it and opened it, a box filled with building blocks with a small note on it appeared in front of her as several curious classmates looked on.

"Oh~ It's Crayon Shin-chan's room.

Hayasaka, your friend is quite interesting. "

"Not bad. I think I can make one if I have the chance in the future."

.......

Although it looks a bit childish, it has to be said that this small, exquisite thing with a bit of hands-on fun made the young boys and girls watching the scene excited.

The girls simply admire and envy her, while the boys wonder if they can emulate her.

A small and exquisite gift can be completed in about an hour.

Make use of fragmented time and experience the joy of accumulating little by little from scratch.......

Although the two people have slightly different preferences, it has to be admitted that the girl still feels very happy about this small gift given to her by someone for entertainment.

Chapter 146: Between the Lines

"oh----!!!

Hayasaka-san, you just said that this is a small gift that Hasegawa-kun sent you, right?"

Looking at the exquisitely shaped, mini room ornament in front of her, Fujiwara Chika opened her mouth slightly, with envy visible on her face.

——Damn Xiujun, he actually forgot his master!

Although she comes from a political family, due to her parents' control, Fujiwara Chika rarely has access to such novel gadgets.

It was because of this relationship that she joined the board game club at school, a club where she could get access to all kinds of small toys.

The small gift that Hasegawa Hide prepared for Hayasaka Ai might just be for the purpose of killing time and relaxing, but for a girl like Fujiwara Chika who has a special preference for her, it is undoubtedly very attractive.

Today, Secretary Fujiwara, as usual, was running around the school like a street police officer.

When she passed by Class B and heard the discussion of her classmates in the corridor, she ran over like a shark smelling blood.

As a result, the current scene came into being.

"Ah."

In response to Fujiwara Chika's exclamation, Hayasaka Ai just nodded indifferently.

The small building blocks have a limited number of particles, which is really child's play for her, who has great manual skills and can assemble computers with discarded parts.

So within a few breaks, the parts that were originally scattered in various small packages had been assembled by her into the finished product.

Compared to scattered parts, the finished product will naturally have a better display effect.
