Let's do it again, Yukino.

When I opened my eyes,

The train's final stop, which is also the final stop of spring, arrived at its destination without us even realizing it.

Tokyo, the place where I studied at university in my past life.

After checking the details of Shuchiin Academy on his phone, Haruhi finally left the station.

It took five minutes to get from the station to the bus station, and then another thirty minutes by car, before Kasuga finally arrived at Shuchiin Academy, which the locals called the "aristocratic academy".

This is a boarding school that runs from kindergarten to university. When Kasuga was in university, she heard about the school's reputation. It seems that the school was established during the Edo period, when it was established as an institution to educate nobles and samurai. However, although the aristocratic system has long been abolished, many upper-class people in Tokyo still send their children to study here, so it is known by Tokyoites as a true "aristocratic school".

What Kasuga couldn't understand was that even though it was the weekend, they still arranged to meet at the school gate.

At this moment, whether in Chiba or Tokyo,

The weather is still quite hot.

The journey was quite long, and when I came to my senses, I felt a little drowsy standing at the entrance of this school.

The Shuchiin Academy standing before me was indeed much grander in scale than Sobu High School, where Haruhi had studied.

"Young Master Qing, you've finally arrived."

Meanwhile, a blonde girl dressed as a high school girl was also standing at the school gate. She was originally leaning against the gate fiddling with her phone when she saw Haruhi's figure approaching from afar. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she went straight to meet the boy.

"If you don't want to use that as a reason to provoke me, then please stop calling me 'Young Master'."

Spring waved her hand dismissively, coldly interrupting the girl's words.

In Hayasaka Ai's view, Haruhi, standing before her, was different from her somewhat enthusiastic attitude when she saved her last time.

His expression was cold, and his gaze was devoid of emotion.

However, Hayasaka, who had served Kaguya Shinomiya as her "attendant" since childhood, was not angry. On the contrary, she felt a sense of familiarity and warmth towards the almost inhuman Haruhi.

She really does look like the young lady from before...

That's what she thought at that moment.

(P.S.: This is the first update for tomorrow.)

Chapter Seventy: Miss Shinomiya Wants Me to Recognize Her as My Older Sister

Hayasaka Ai, with blonde hair and blue eyes, is an undeniably beautiful high school girl in front of her classmates at Shuchiin High School.

However, in private, she serves as a close attendant to Kaguya Shinomiya, the daughter of the Shinomiya Group's heiress. Unlike the maids in the villa, Hayasaka Ai is the daughter of a high-ranking member of the Shinomiya Group. The Hayasaka family she was born into was originally a prestigious family, but they lost in the struggle against the Shinomiya family and ended up becoming a subordinate of the Shinomiya family.

However, Hayasaka Ai herself is still a genuine rich girl.

She had been taking care of Kaguya Shinomiya, the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, since she was very young. Nominally, the two had a master-servant relationship, but as time went by, Hayasaka's feelings for Kaguya were more like those of an older sister caring for her younger sister.

Originally, her life rose and fell with Kaguya Shinomiya's.

Born into the Shinomiya family, she has excellent bloodlines and, like Kaguya Shinomiya, received a high-level education from a young age.

Indeed, from the moment she was born, her fate was intertwined with that of Kaguya Shinomiya.

Of course, if it weren't for that chance encounter with the boy who should have been forgotten by everyone in the Shinomiya family in that alleyway in Chiba City, it would have been a completely different story.

……

…………

In front of the gate of Shuchiin High School,

Dressed casually, Haruhi silently gazed at Hayasaka before her.

Because it was summer, the students of Shuchiin Academy had changed into their summer uniforms. Hayasaka Ai had also changed into a sleeveless dress as required by the academy, with a white short-sleeved shirt underneath, a white square-collar sailor collar, and a red tie.

Compared to the cool and simple summer uniforms of Soubu High School, the girls' uniforms of Shuchiin High School, while cool, also reveal an elegant and noble temperament of aristocratic ladies.

But what do these things have to do with spring?

"Speak, Ms. Hayasaka, you went to great lengths to investigate my private information. What do you, or that young lady who recently went to my workplace to lecture me, want from me?"

The weather was rather hot over the weekend, and coupled with her already low expectations for the meeting, Chunri was inevitably a little irritable, and her voice sounded somewhat cold and unfriendly.

"The young lady arrived at Shuchiin Academy early this morning and is now waiting for you, Young Master Haru, in the student council. As for why you were invited to Tokyo, it was only the young lady's own idea."

Although she was wearing the summer uniform of Shuchiin, the blonde girl in front of me exuded the proper etiquette and demeanor expected of a maid of the Shinomiya family in her speech and manners.

"Don't use such honorifics on someone like me, and don't call me 'Young Master Qing,' because five seconds ago, I already took your statement as a mockery of me and added you to my blacklist."

"I'll take you to see Miss Qing first. She's been looking forward to meeting you since last night."

The blonde maid led Kasuga into the high school section of Shuchiin Academy.

If Soubu High School is likened to a middle-class villa, then Shuchiin High School, the so-called "aristocratic school," could be described as a castle.

"I find it annoying just looking at it. Soubu High School is definitely more suitable for someone like me. But, Hayasaka-san, why did you invite me to the academy? It's the weekend."

He didn't think that the Shinomiya family's daughter, who possessed a total fortune of two hundred trillion yen, would be so bored as to simply want to show off the grand scale of their academy in front of him, which was why she had invited him here.

He may be a bit slow, but at least he's not stupid.

"Because the student council of Shuchiin is the safest place that Miss and I thought of. On weekends, Miss, who is the vice president of the student council, will occasionally come to the student council to handle affairs."

"...That was a very wise choice."

Upon hearing Hayasaka's words, Kasuga was taken aback for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"sorry."

The blonde maid, who had her back to him and was still walking ahead, murmured something.

The faint chirping of cicadas, the dappled shadows of green leaves,

Swaying and dancing

The boy named Haruhi shook his head slightly.

"No need, I'm not as fragile as you think."

……

…………

On the other side,

Inside the student union,

The girl was sitting upright on the sofa.

It was the same black-haired, red-eyed girl who had met Chunri at the Fengliu Nunnery not long ago.

Unlike that day when her long hair hung down to her shoulders, today the girl tied her long hair up with two red ribbons, giving her a more quiet and intellectual air compared to her previous cool and aloof demeanor.

However, the girl did not make any of the demure movements expected at this moment.

Her two slender, jade-white hands, holding the teacup, were trembling incessantly in mid-air.

She had always been seen by her classmates as a dignified and beautiful woman, like a beauty from all directions.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, making his usually delicate features appear unusually stiff.

Even though her calves were encased in stockings under her long uniform skirt, they were still trembling.

All of this is enough to show that Kaguya Shinomiya, the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, is not at peace inside.

How to do? !

My younger brother whom I haven't seen for over ten years.

How should I, as the older sister, greet him?

The girl's mind raced through a series of images that were about to unfold.

Drop all pretense and, like in those prime-time dramas, use crying to mask your inner joy, or even cry yourself to death to express your excitement.

……

"Sister, I miss you so much. For the past seventeen years, as your younger brother, I have always been thinking of you."

The boy rushed into her broad embrace, and she, like a gentle mother, calmly stroked his hair, then spent half a day comforting the boy who had lost his sister's and father's love at a young age.

When she could, she would even use tears to wash away all the causes and effects.

"Waaaaah... Sister, I miss you so much too..."

Everything looked so touching.

……

No, no, no

Forget it.

Covering her forehead, Kaguya suppressed this cheesy, overly romantic fantasy.

Sitting on the sofa, I took a deep breath and slapped my pouty cheeks hard with both hands.

How could this possibly happen?!

That guy doesn't even know me, so how could there be any touching reunion? It's completely nonexistent.

Forehead,

As the vice president of the student council of Shuchiin University, her brows furrowed again.
