I refuse to be a plagiarist

But for some reason, even though he knew that the other person was a young girl in her prime, Hasegawa never thought of the word "cute".

Why is it?

[Yes! ]

[Perhaps I have subconsciously regarded this guy as a mature and reliable adult. ]

But consciousness is consciousness.

No matter how mature she appears, the fact is that the girl in front of you is still a high school student after all.

"Isn't that pretty good?"

"Ok?"

He turned his head in confusion.

She didn't know why the guy in front of her suddenly said such a thing.

Seeing Hayasaka Ai's puzzled look, Hasegawa responded with a smile that looked somewhat "relieved" and said:

“Actually, I’ve wanted to say this before. I don’t know what others think, but in my opinion, Hayasaka, you always look worried every day.

Is it because the work pressure is too great?

Or.....are you worried about something?"

"........."

It’s certainly a bit of both.

As the personal attendant of the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, the things that Hayasaka has to deal with on a daily basis are even more complicated than those of the old nanny of the Emiya family.

And I’ve said it before.

When she was sent to serve as a close attendant to Shinomiya Kaguya, she was actually an "insider" sent by the eldest son of the Shinomiya family for surveillance.

However, as she spent more time with Kaguya, the friendship between the two began to waver in this "spy" lady, which caused Hayasaka Ai to be in a very tormenting situation every day.

On the one hand, there is the oppression from the eldest son of the Shinomiya family, and on the other hand, there is the inner obsession with his partner.

Of course, she had already been "in Cao's camp but her heart is with Han" since a long time ago, and had entrusted her loyalty to that troublesome eldest lady.

In other words, strictly speaking, the only person the girl betrayed was the young master of the Shinomiya family who initially used orders to impose a "mission" on her.

But even so, before she explained everything to Kaguya, for Hayasaka Ai, this feeling of guilt and remorse was like a heavy mountain, weighing on her heart.

I couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Although the young man in front of her made her feel at ease, there was one thing she could never share with him.

Chapter 50: It might be nice to be childish once in a while

[As expected...it's a secret that can't be told. 】

Looking at the girl's sudden silence, Hasegawa shrugged his shoulders, having already guessed the general situation behind it.

My previous guess was correct.

In addition to the daily work pressure, what troubles Hayasaka Ai even more is something unspeakable hidden deep in the girl's heart.

"Okay, just consider it my fault.

I'm sorry to remind you of those uncomfortable things."

He smiled and waved his hand in front of the other person.

Facing Hasegawa's slightly provocative action, Hayasaka Ai also came back to her senses from her silence and looked deeply at the boy in front of her:

"Fool........

Has anyone ever told you that sometimes you look a little childish? "

"Oh? Childish...

It seems that no one has ever mentioned this word.

What's wrong? "

Look at each other curiously.

Facing Hasegawa Hide's helpless expression, Hayasaka Ai held her forehead and felt like an old mother lecturing her son.

Thousands of words turned into a sigh:

"well........

It's really strange, I don't know how you can maintain such a leisurely attitude."

There was a hint of yearning in her tone that she herself was not even aware of.

In response to the girl's words, Hasegawa Hide smiled slightly, then grabbed her arm and stopped moving forward:

"Hayasaka, being childish sometimes may not be a bad thing for us."

"Eh?

Hasegawa, you...”

"By the way, Hayasaka, what do you think of 'childish'?"

In Hasegawa's opinion, the girl's remarks to him just now were not meant to mock him.

Indeed, for most people, the word "childish" is by no means a compliment.

But in his opinion, in this social environment where the pace is ever-accelerating, it is indeed a good choice for tired people to slow down occasionally and let themselves relax.

It is said that "If you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries", but in fact, in addition to making preparations for the future in advance, it is also very important to cherish everything in front of you and live in the present.

There is no restart button in life.

Singing to your heart's content when your body and mind are in the best condition and leaving home when you are old and have accumulated enough assets are definitely two completely different experiences.

"......Of course, this is just an example used as an analogy.

But then again.

Sometimes, it is better to put aside those strange burdens in your heart temporarily, and enjoy the things around you in a 'childish' manner. "

As if murmuring to himself.

Finally, Hasegawa turned around and looked directly into the girl's azure eyes:

"Hayasaka, what do you think?

Unlike me at the beginning, if you have the conditions you have now, you should have more choices. "

"........"

The words of her companion made her fall into a brief contemplation.

Indeed, she also knew that if she kept herself in a nervous state for a long time, she might collapse one day.

".......Um.

I will pay attention to it in the future, and......"

"Ok?"

"nothing."

Shaked his head gently.

Under Hasegawa's puzzled gaze, the next second, a relaxed smile appeared on the girl's face.

The sun shines on each other's faces.

At this moment, looking at Hayasaka Ai's bright eyes, Hasegawa always felt that he saw a glimmer of light in them that was different from the past.

"Oh.......

In any case, it would be great if you could feel a little more relaxed.

If you look depressed every day, people around you will easily feel stressed out. "

At the end, Hasegawa even jokingly teased the girl in front of him.

Facing his indifferent teasing, Hayasaka Ai lowered her head and took a look at her outfit, not realizing it at all:

"Is it?

But in my opinion, you should really cherish the fact that you can date a beautiful girl like me."

Beauty is a girl’s greatest weapon.

Hayasaka, who had undergone a series of special agent training, naturally understood this principle very well.

Of course, this doesn't mean that she would use her agent's methods to do anything to this defenseless friend in front of her.

However, compared to her usual hot girl style in the Shuchiin campus, today she deliberately chose a more pure yet just right style combination for her weekend trip with her partner.

The white and tender thigh flesh is revealed between the red plaid skirt and the perfectly matched black stockings.

The upper body outfit is a simple white shirt with a light purple sports jacket.

How to say it.......

It is full of youthfulness and vitality, and also has a hint of indescribable sexiness.

However, for a guy like Hasegawa Hide who didn't know much, her preparations were like playing the lute to a cow.

In the eyes of a certain guy, the so-called opposite sex can be divided into only three simple and rough stages in terms of appearance: "good-looking", "average" and "scary".

Therefore, after he makes his initial judgment on a girl, unless the girl encounters some unnatural reasons and experiences drastic changes in appearance, he will basically not make excessive changes to the existing result.

For example, the Shippuden version of Mitarashi Anko and the Boruto version of Mitarashi Sweet Potato...When encountering such a situation, you really have to re-score it.

And this partner of the Pressure-Resistant Alliance in front of him had already been categorized as a "beautiful girl" by him from the moment they met.

Therefore, no matter how the other party dressed in the future, it would not cause any big reaction to Hasegawa.

Unfortunately...his thought process in this regard happened to be in the girl's blind spot.

"How about it?"

It slowly turned around as if showing something to the boy in front of it.

The playful posture coupled with the graceful curves really showed the beauty of the young girl to the fullest. Even some passers-by stopped and couldn't help but stop to watch.

Facing Hayasaka Ai's "righteous" attitude, Hasegawa Hide, who also didn't understand the other party's preparation, was also slightly stunned. In the end, he looked like "I surrender to you" and waved his hand at the other party in surrender:

"Yes, yes, yes......

It is a great honor for us ordinary people to be able to invite you out during your busy schedule."

"Hmph~!"

Chapter 51: Hasegawa's Thank You Gift

The girl didn't say anything more about Hasegawa Hide's inappropriate choice of words except for a slight snort of dissatisfaction.

Walking leisurely on the street.

Compared to going out with other people, for these two people, getting together is more like taking a moment to relax in their busy daily life.

Of course, this theory is no longer applicable to Hasegawa now.

After all, compared to Hayasaka who is still addicted to overtime, although he cannot be said to be very relaxed now, he has become much freer in managing his time.

"Here."

"Oh, thank you."

I took the coriander-flavored ice cream from Hasegawa.

Perhaps influenced by the boy in front of her, Hayasaka Ai has unknowingly developed the habit of eating cold drinks regardless of the season.

The cool touch from the tip of her tongue caused a subtle fluctuation in the expression on her face.

And on the park bench, next to Hayasaka Ai, was Hasegawa, who was also prpring for the ice cream.

"By the way, Hayasaka..."

"???"
