I refuse to be a plagiarist

[With such a classic "white, rich and beautiful" girl by her side, it's no wonder that Bai Yin is so obsessed with her...]

By the way, I quietly complained about the friend I met during the working alliance period.

But seriously.

From the other side's perspective, as a hot-blooded young man, facing this hexagonal, rich and beautiful woman with whom he could potentially run towards each other and spend every day together, it is unlikely that he would turn a blind eye no matter how he looks at it.

[After all, they are at the age when they are most in heat, no, they are at the age when they are most impulsive and yearning for the opposite sex...]

From a normal boy's perspective, whether it is out of the pursuit of beauty or other long-term or superficial motives, it is not difficult to understand why one's heart is moved by a cute girl whom he spends every day with.

After all, the ancient legend of Liuxia Hui is too far away for contemporary young people.

Just like Hasegawa Hide himself, when he sees a beautiful big sister with a hot body, this guy sometimes can't help but take a few more glances.

——This is so normal!

".......It seems that you may have some misunderstanding about her."

A faint voice came from my ear.

When he came to his senses, he found that Hayasaka beside him had sat up from the soft ball at some point and was looking at him with a complicated expression.

Humans are not gods; it is impossible for them to have only a good side.

Just as there is cowardice beneath the strength that Shirogane Miyuki can create, behind the perfect superhuman image of Shinomiya Kaguya, there is actually an unknown and even daunting side.

The ass decides the head.

Although she was not trained as an heir, as the direct descendant of the ruler of the Shinomiya Group, this little girl naturally had her own set of rules for dealing with people.

What he showed in front of his friends in the Shuchiin Student Union was just the warmth and tenderness of melting ice and snow.

You know, before, this young lady had the honorary title of "Ice Princess".

In addition to the cold aura, a certain degree of cruelty is the fundamental reason why people feel awe.

After all, Japanese high school students are on the same level of strength as time travelers from China. Ordinary intimidation may not be able to suppress the desperate momentum in the hearts of young boys and girls.

But casting it into a concrete pillar and sinking it into Tokyo Bay...even though the chance of it being triggered is very small, it still has considerable deterrent power.

In addition to her sharp edge towards the outside world, the young lady also cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes internally.

If she knew that the girl beside her was a spy sent by her elder brother for some purpose, then...

"Tsk tsk.....If that's the case, it seems like it's going to be really difficult to deal with."

He nodded in agreement.

No matter what the motivation is or the extent of the incident, few people would adopt a "tolerant" attitude towards backstabbing.

Moreover, the closer the relationship, the more likely it is to affect the emotions of the parties involved when backstabbing occurs.

“Look, that’s it, isn’t it?

well........"

There was a hint of weakness in his tone.

Indeed, according to Hasegawa Hide's plan, Hayasaka could indeed tell the truth hidden behind it.

But after hearing the whole story, whether Kaguya would have any grudges in her heart is indeed not an answer that can be inferred logically.

As for my personal expectations...

There is no doubt that the girl did not want to destroy the friendship between the two that lasted for more than ten years.

"But is there a possibility that..."

"???"

"I say, if that young lady is really so good at reading people's minds, then as your partner, it shouldn't be that easy to hide the abnormalities that occurred during that period from her.

Especially during the insecure childhood when I was like a hedgehog with all my sharp spines pointing outwards. "

Speculating thoughtfully.

What is a personal attendant?

Inseparable from my heart in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, he accompanies me like a shadow dancer, like another self.

Under such conditions, if there is something unusual about one party, would the other person really be unaware of it?

Hasegawa admitted that in his life journey, he also met many guys who were carefree and had personalities like the protagonists of passionate comics. In the pace of life of these people, perhaps they would not be too sensitive to such details.

but! Yes!

“That’s Shinomiya Kaguya, someone whom even Hayasaka yourself recognizes from the bottom of your heart.

"Could it be that such a young lady really didn't notice at all when the only person of her age whom she could rely on was in deep distress?"

He stared intently into the girl's sapphire eyes.

"You know, according to what you said, at that time, she wasn't surrounded by those friends from the student union like she is now."

It is said that something is precious and valuable... The reason why something is cherished is, in the final analysis, because it has irreplaceable and rare attributes for the person concerned.

For Kaguya Shinomiya, who had not even met the second sister of the Fujiwara family at that time, companions like Hayasaka, who were in the same environment and of the same age, were naturally the only bright color in the dark picture called life.

[It's like a kid with little pocket money who has the only game console at his disposal.]

[If there is any problem, even a small bump on the shell, I'm afraid I will be very distressed. ]

Recalling some youthful past events that are too painful to recall.

Although this metaphor might be a bit rude, Hasegawa did not feel there was anything wrong with it when applied to the two protagonists of the current incident.

Just think about it carefully and you will understand.

The only close friend of childhood and future valet has experienced drastic emotional fluctuations. No matter how well she conceals it, the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, who is meticulous and vigilant, should not be ignorant of it until the end of the matter...

Chapter 171: What are you still worried about?

——Don’t underestimate the eldest daughter in your family!

The reminder from Hasegawa Hide made Hayasaka Ai, who was still in a state of confusion, shudder all over, and she fell into numbness as if struck by lightning.

【yes........】

The two have been inseparable since they were very young. The two girls who grew up together day and night are not only master and servant who can trust each other, but also partners who can confide in each other.

The guilt of betrayal and the pressure from the threat from the eldest son of the Shinomiya family were enough to make a little girl who was only a few years old completely collapse.

Although I had covered up a considerable amount at that time, how could I hide the mistakes that occurred inadvertently from Kaguya's all-seeing eyes?

[Perhaps...she already knew it.]

A bitter smile gradually appeared on her beautiful face.

Just as the man next to him said, his unfounded worry was really too arrogant.

“True love goes both ways.

Just like you, Hayasaka, are always silently handling tedious matters for that young lady behind the scenes. If you were true partners, then that young lady would have already quietly understood and tolerated your difficulties in her own way.

The reason why it hasn’t been explained until now...hehe.

I'm afraid you also understand very well the pride and self-esteem hidden under that indifferent mask."

He took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears that had appeared in the corners of the girl's eyes with a smile.

Faced with such a heavy yet tender friendship between the two, to be honest, someone feels quite envious in his heart.

[In this fast-paced era of material desire, even if there are certain conditions to support it, such an existence is really a miraculous product! ]

"Hmph...what nonsense are you talking about?"

Facing Hasegawa's teasing, Hayasaka Ai, who had already figured out most of the truth, hummed a few times as if to escape, then snatched the handkerchief from the other person's hand and wiped away the uncontrollable silver beads that had just appeared on the edge of her eye sockets.

I have to say, perhaps because they have lived together for too long, apart from the differences in their skill trees, the girl and her eldest daughter actually have many similarities.

For example, this weird attribute that seems to be called "tsundere"...

Hasegawa heard this word from his good friend Mie. According to his personal understanding, he prefers the traditional way and calls this characteristic "being stubborn but still trying to hold on to something".

Of course, as a spectator, he still felt it was quite pleasing to see the beautiful girl showing such a revealing attitude.

"Why are you looking at me with such a weird expression?"

"Nothing, I just feel like you don't appear often."

Looking at Hayasaka, who was embarrassed by his gaze and was directly immersed in the dumplings, Hasegawa pretended to stroke his chin with his thumb and muttered "I should have taken a picture earlier", which made the person involved feel very dangerous.

“…You know, secretly taking photos is against the law.

When did I develop this kind of hobby that only perverts have? "

"Hey, hey... do I look like the type of person who likes to sneak around and commit crimes by following girls?"

"You looked a lot like me just now~"

"cut!"

————————————

Perhaps due to limited conditions, Hasegawa finally chose a modern and simple design at Hayasaka's suggestion.

After all, he was only interested in the "single-family house" feature, which was that it had its own land and could be freely modified. As for neon and Japanese culture, he had absolutely no interest in it at all.

However, compared to the Fujiwara family's complete assistance in the construction process, the subsequent procurement and placement required him, as the owner, to do it himself.

Fortunately, Shirogane and Ishigami participated together on the weekend, so although the whole process was a bit long, compared to simple labor, it added the fun of slowly completing "small goals".

Like today.

With the start of summer vacation, everyone's time gradually becomes more free, and the three boys naturally have more opportunities to get together.

Sometimes, after finishing their work, everyone would just sleep in the cleaned-up room, grill skewers together in the small courtyard under the moonlight, and even feel the ease and pleasure of camping.

Today, Hasegawa and Shirogane were moving furniture together on the second floor.

As for Ishigami-san...it seemed that because his test scores were not ideal, he was forced by his father to attend after-school tutoring.

This is probably what fatherly love is like a mountain.

Even if they usually talk tough, when they see that their children still have hope of making progress, they will always do their best to help them improve.

Facing the boy's crying expression, Hasegawa and Shirogane gave him a thumbs up, saying that young people should act like young people and study hard...

So naturally, today's work was completed by only the two of them.

"Huh~

I would say that installing this elevator was definitely the right choice at that time!"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

It would be fine if it was just one or two pieces, but if you had to carry all those big pieces up by manpower alone, it would really be a test of your character.

In response to Hasegawa Hide's sigh, Shirogane on the side also nodded, and at the same time, he took the lemonade handed to him and drank it gulply.

“Gulp, gulp…Ha!

But having said that, seeing the results of this afternoon's work, I feel an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely design a home of my own like this.”

"Oh~ Then I have to look forward to it......"

In the setting sun, two teenagers drinking lemonade lay on dumplings, looking at the red glow in the distance through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It felt a bit like the atmosphere of middle-aged office workers going to an izakaya to have a drink during their rare off-get off work time.

Coupled with the old-fashioned rhythm and drum beats coming from the speakers, that inexplicable sense of old age makes people want to lie down and never think about the trivial things around them again.

But this silence was eventually broken.

I don't know how much time had passed. With a sound like a sigh, the blond boy sat up and looked at the clouds in the sky that were dyed red by the setting sun. There was a hint of complexity on his face.

"Hasegawa........."

"Ok?"

"Have you ever encountered this situation?

I just couldn't help but pay special attention to a girl in my class.

Sometimes her face often appears in my mind, and I can't help wanting to meet her."
