"You? You obtained the Dragon Balls? Tell me, what's your special skill?"

"Um...I can go 48 hours without sleeping, is that considered a special skill?"

"roll!"

……

A group of people were excitedly discussing how yesterday's Red Dragon competition was truly eye-opening, which left them no choice but to be active.

"Everyone seems pretty excited today," Lin Ye said to Shinichi Kudo beside him. Hearing Lin Ye's words, Shinichi Kudo then replied...

"How could I not be excited? I saw that eating contest with my own eyes yesterday! Lin Ye, when do you think we can have a detective competition? I feel like I could definitely win first place, and then..."

"You're overthinking it." Lin Ye rolled his eyes at Shinichi Kudo helplessly. "Let's not even talk about when the Detective Contest will be held, just consider famous detectives. There are countless in this era alone, not to mention the Heroic Spirits in this world. Do you really think you're better than Sherlock Holmes?"

"What! I actually have a chance to compete with Sherlock Holmes! That's fantastic!"

Looking at Shinichi Kudo's excited expression, Lin Ye sighed helplessly.

Forget it, this guy is hopeless. But Lin Ye understands Shinichi Kudo's thoughts. After all, competing on the same stage as your idol is like playing basketball with the Little Giant, playing ping pong with the Imperial Roaring Tiger, doing a moonwalk solo with Mike, or boxing with Tai... Never mind, let's skip the last one.

"I hope that day will really come." Lin Ye patted Shinichi Kudo on the shoulder, then felt his phone vibrate.

Upon opening it, there was a text message sent by Kaguya.

"Noon, in the grove behind the academy. Don't bring anyone else. Kaguya (heart)"

Upon seeing this message, Lin Ye was taken aback, and then an image unsuitable for children subconsciously appeared in his mind.

"Wait, that can't be right. Kaguya only started yesterday, how could she have gotten hooked so quickly? And it's unlikely she'd be in the grove."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ye quietly put his phone away.

What if something unexpected happens?

Chapter 255 My House Needs a Maid

College, grove

Kaguya Shinomiya was waiting anxiously when, at that moment, she felt the space in front of her distort, and then she heard that incredibly familiar voice.

"Kaguya, what made you think of calling me here?" Lin Ye's figure appeared directly here.

"Lin Ye!" Kaguya looked at Lin Ye happily. At that moment, Lin Ye also noticed Hayasaka Ai behind Kaguya.

Lin Ye certainly recognized Hayasaka Ai, so when he saw her, he smiled and nodded at her.

"Hayasaka-san, it's been a long time."

Indeed, Lin Ye and Hayasaka Ai were not very familiar with each other. They only knew each other because of Kaguya, and they were just ordinary classmates. Lin Ye was also quite curious as to why Hayasaka Ai was here.

"So...it wasn't Kaguya who was looking for me, it was you, Hayasaka Ai." Lin Ye guessed after thinking for a moment. After all, it was already quite obvious that someone who shouldn't be here was here.

"Hello, Lin Ye." Hayasaka Ai bowed slightly to Lin Ye first. "I'm so sorry to have troubled Kaguya to ask you out."

"It's nothing, just a small matter." Lin Ye waved his hand dismissively. "So, Hayasaka-san, there's something you wanted to discuss with me, right?"

Lin Ye didn't believe that Hayasaka Ai's visit was just a simple meeting.

"Lin Ye, this is what happened." Knowing it was her turn to intervene, Kaguya began directly, "Lin Ye, Hayasaka Ai's family actually..."

Kaguya spoke slowly, but explained things very quickly. The main reason was that she didn't use a storytelling approach; she simply recounted everything she knew from a third-person perspective. "So, Lin Ye, Hayasaka Ai came to you because she wants you to be a witness, or rather, her backer, so she can complete this deal with the Shinomiya family."

"Again with the Shinomiya family? Can't you find a different target to fleece?"

Lin Ye truly felt that the Shinomiya family was in a terrible state. So many times, the Shinomiya family had managed to get their hands on the Dragon Balls, but they could never keep them. How could they be anything but miserable?

"Huh?" Hayasaka Ai was confused, clearly unaware of how many times Lin Ye had tricked the Shinomiya family. However, she quickly recovered and said, "So, I hope you, Lin Ye, can step in and help me this once. The entire Hayasaka family will be extremely grateful to you."

"Extremely grateful? To put it bluntly, all you feel is gratitude, right?" Lin Ye smiled faintly. Wasn't this just an attempt to get him to work for free? As for the gratitude of an entire family?

Forget it, their little bit of money wouldn't amount to much anyway, and Lin Ye doesn't care about it anymore.

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Hayasaka Ai immediately realized that Lin Ye was clearly not that interested in helping her.

"But Lin Ye, Kaguya and I..."

“Yeah, you and Kaguya, you’ve been spying on Kaguya for so long.” Lin Ye suddenly interrupted Hayasaka Ai.

Ten years, a full ten years, ten years of surveillance. Kaguya had known all along, but she never revealed it, because if she did, she would lose her closest friend.

Lin Ye knew, of course, that this was not Hayasaka Ai's original intention, but what's done is done. However, given that Hayasaka Ai had not actually done anything to cause any real harm, Lin Ye wouldn't condemn her without understanding the situation.

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Hayasaka Ai's pretty face instantly turned pale.

"Yes, you... you already know. Sorry to bother you."

Hayasaka Ai turned to leave after she finished speaking.

“Hayasaka…” Kaguya wanted to stop him, but she obediently kept quiet. She already considered herself Lin Ye's woman, so naturally she would follow his wishes. If Lin Ye didn't want to do it, she wouldn't ask him to because of her relationship with Hayasaka Ai.

Lin Ye noticed the conflict on her face and realized that Kaguya still cared about her best friend.

"There's really nothing I can do against you."

Lin Ye shook his head helplessly. He'd only given himself to him yesterday, and he was already hurting him today? That would be too heartless, and besides…

· ·····Requesting flowers·· ·······

"However, I do have a maid at home. If you're interested, I'd be happy to help you with a small favor."

what!

Lin Ye's words made Hayasaka Ai tremble instantly. She turned around and looked at Lin Ye with surprise, saying, "Really?"

"Okay. Sure." Lin Ye nodded.

Seeing Lin Ye nod, Kaguya understood perfectly well that he had agreed only because of her. A sweet feeling welled up inside her. "But Lin Ye, won't Ram be unhappy about this?"

"She's still unhappy!" Lin Ye finally couldn't help but complain. "What's there to be unhappy about! Although Ram is very strong, but... but... but she's not a maid!"

...... 0 .......

Lin Ye felt a headache coming on when he thought about what Ram had done at his house during this time.

Lin Ye didn't ask Ram to do any high-class maid work like warming the bed. He just asked Ram to do things like grocery shopping, cooking, watering flowers, pruning, and cleaning the room. But what was the result?

The vegetables I bought were either rotten or gnawed by rats; it was obvious that I didn't pick them out properly and was ripped off by an unscrupulous vendor.

Making a simple hot and sour shredded potatoes dish resulted in the vinegar and soy sauce mixing together, and the taste... made Lin Ye, the master chef, unable to resist cooking it himself.

As for trimming the flowers and cleaning the room... you did a great job, but... don't you feel like you're wasting your talents by using wind magic, which is powerful enough to destroy a country, to clean up dust?

Thinking about this, Lin Ye suddenly became determined to find a qualified maid!

"Hayasaka Ai, it's decided. From now on, our family is in your hands!"

"This... I'll definitely do my best!" Hayasaka Ai nodded immediately. She wasn't usually like this, but this matter was too important to her, and the difference in their status was too great, so she couldn't help feeling a little nervous. But now that Lin Ye had agreed, she was completely relieved.

Seeing Hayasaka Ai nod, Lin Ye silently took out his phone and dialed that familiar number.

Shinomiya family, I'm here to rip you off again.

Chapter 256 is not a discussion, but a notification.

"Hey, is this Shinomiya Hiromitsu? This is Lin Ye. I'm here to trick you again... no, I'm here to deliver Dragon Balls to you again."

Lin Ye held up his phone and made a call to Shinomiya Huang Guang.

How much do you want this time?

"Not many, just the Hayasaka family will suffice," Lin Ye said casually.

"The Hayasaka family!!! Impossible!"

"Say it again!" Lin Ye's voice turned cold.

"You...you're going to force me to buy this?" Shinomiya Hikari's voice trembled, not from fear, but from anger. He, the young master of the prestigious Shinomiya family, when had anyone ever dared to speak to him like that!

"Forced sale? No, no, no." Lin Ye shook his head. "You misunderstood. I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you. Hayasaka Ai is now my maid, so I don't want to leave any potential problems, understand?"

"What! Do you know who you're talking to?!" Shinomiya Huangguang yelled on the other end of the phone. "You, Lin Ye, may be powerful, but do you think you can just walk through the phone line and hit me? Let me tell you! Our Shinomiya family absolutely will not..."

Before Shinomiya Hikari could finish speaking, the space in front of him distorted, and then Lin Ye's figure appeared directly in front of him. He looked at Shinomiya Hikari and said calmly...

"What did you say?"

"I..." Shinomiya Hikari stared blankly at Lin Ye in front of him. "I said, my Shinomiya family never mistreats any guest! All guests are guests, Mr. Lin Ye, please have a seat. Quickly! Where's the maid! Where's the coffee! Where's the red wine! Where's the Tieguanyin tea! Bring it up to Mr. Lin Ye now!"

Lin Ye...

This guy... he's really quick to back down. Is your English name Ochumelov? Even a chameleon can't change its tune as fast as you.

Huang Guang's face changes quickly? He just thinks he's smarter.

That's right, the Shinomiya family has the money to hire all sorts of experts, but that takes time. This other party appeared in an instant. Who wouldn't be scared?

As for his bodyguards... they're only about equal to some B-level heroes. Compared to an S-level expert like Lin Ye, they're just easy targets.

"Alright, I won't waste any more words. I want Hayasaka Ai, and I want the Hayasaka family too. Do you agree?"

Do I agree or disagree? Would I dare disagree?

"Ahem, Mr. Lin Ye, you are strong, but you are not the strongest. Even if you have S-rank strength, it's not good to offend the Shinomiya family like this." Shinomiya Huangguang still wanted to save face, but... would Lin Ye give him that face? You think you're Shanks just because you dyed your hair red?

"Furthermore, if you really kill me, the Hero Association will definitely consider you a disaster. You can win against two S-class heroes, but can you win against ten S-class heroes?"

"Ten S-ranks?" Lin Ye revealed a confident smile. "I'm afraid I really can win."

Lin Ye's current forces include: Obito, Accelerator, the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick, Mugino Shizuri's four-person tool team, the four Demon Slayer girls, Ark the Skeleton Knight, Spider Girl, Akame, Ryougi Shiki, Jack the Ripper, Lelouch, Kimimaro, Misaka Mikoto, Misaki Shokuhou, two Artorias + six Knights of the Round Table...

"Our total number of members may not be as large as the Hero Association, but the quality of our members is high."

Lin Ye had noticed that a certain bald guy hadn't joined the Hero Association yet, so his advantage was... Ugh, that's too unlucky.

"You... are too arrogant... no, too confident, aren't you?" Shinomiya Huangguang had no idea just how monstrous Lin Ye was, but he knew that he definitely couldn't afford to offend Lin Ye.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. I have class this afternoon. Let's get straight to the point: will the Hayasaka family give it to me or not?"

"Here you go! How could I refuse your offer?" Shinomiya Huangguang said with a forced smile.

"Alright, here's the stuff. I'm a respectable businessman, don't go around saying I robbed your family. I still have a reputation to uphold." Lin Ye made it clear that this was a transaction, and he didn't want to be seen as a robber.

After Lin Ye finished speaking, he left the Dragon Ball behind and departed. He wasn't afraid that Shinomiya Hiromitsu would go back on his word; in fact, it would be even better if he did.

Looking at the Dragon Ball on the table, Shinomiya Hikari sighed helplessly and then picked up his phone.

"Hey, give all the Hayasaka family's things back to them and tell them to leave the Shinomiya family..."

"What? But young master, this..."

"If the higher-ups ask, just say I traded the Hayasaka family for a Dragon Ball and hired a group of experts for me. This time, the Dragon Ball absolutely cannot be lost!" After saying that, Shinomiya Hikari put the Dragon Ball away.

He refused to believe that he could never collect all the Dragon Balls in his lifetime.

At that moment, inside the school, as space continued to distort, Lin Ye's figure appeared. Hayasaka Ai's eyes lit up upon seeing Lin Ye.

Looking at Hayasaka Ai in front of him, Lin Ye spread out his empty hands and said...

"It's done."

Well!

In an instant, Hayasaka Ai excitedly covered her mouth, afraid that she would shout out loud.

Great, really great.

From the moment Hayasaka Ai was born, she belonged to the Shinomiya family. When she was seven years old, she became a servant of the Shinomiya family. It can be said that she never had true freedom.

But now, she is finally free.

"Lin Ye, thank you."

"Don't thank me, just don't forget to come work at my house tonight."

Hayasaka Ai...

Well, I only have half the freedom, but compared to the Shinomiya family, the Hayashi family is much better. At least I am now just a normal maid and don't have to do things against my conscience like a spy anymore.

"Okay, I have class this afternoon, see you tonight."
