Start with Hayasaka Ai

"There's no need for Kaguya to lie in a place like this."

"So there's a high probability that Baiyin did confess his feelings to her."

"So what am I? A third party who comes between two people's relationships?"

"No, that's not the case."

"Although it seems like a confession, it's missing an important step, which is establishing a relationship. If the confession is neither rejected nor accepted, there's still a chance."

"Even if you don't accept it, there's still a chance, but should I really get involved?"

"Of course! Whether it was the kiss or the outward display of affection, it was clearly me who started it all!!"

"Could it be that Kaguya's ten years of relationship is not as good as a man she has only known for less than a year? Let's just let it go and wish them the best. It's a good thing that they are making such rapid progress."

"Stop it, you've reached your limit now. If you continue to go deeper and compete with Kaguya, she will hate you."

"I, I, I..."

Hayasaka Ai doesn't want to be hated by Shinomiya Kaguya, nor does she want to lose Shirogane.

But under the current circumstances, these two options seem to be contradictory. If you choose the first one, you cannot choose the second one, and if you choose the second one, you cannot choose the first one.

Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?

Hayasaka Ai felt as if two voices appeared in her body, and she was confused for a moment.

Chapter 93: Shirogane Kei: The evil Hayasaka enters the house

"Aunt Grandma—I'm so glad to see you're okay!!"

Shortly after Kaguya Shinomiya left the health room, a figure rushed out from the bushes and grabbed her hand.

The person who came was naturally Shijo Shinki. After all, no one else would use this name except her.

As for why she hid in the bushes, it was probably because the long-term tracking had caused her to develop a strange dependence on the bushes.

You will feel safe staying in it.

"What's wrong, Shinki? Such a big reaction." Shinomiya Kaguya looked at the other party with some confusion.

I just fainted normally, but the other party actually cared about me so much.

Their relationship shouldn't be that good, right?

"Because, because..."

Shijo Shinki explained with a blush on her face, her voice breaking a little due to her excitement.

"The president suddenly came out of the gymnasium holding you, motionless, and that place of his was so terrifying!! There was no way I could get in no matter how hard I tried - so I thought, I thought he had forcibly killed you!!!"

Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes went dark after hearing what Shijo Shinki blurted out, and she almost fainted again.

But he still bit the tip of his tongue to stay awake, and quickly covered Shijo Zhenfei's mouth with his hand.

Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise I would have been completely ruined in society, or at least my reputation in Shuchiin would have been ruined.

"Mahito, girls shouldn't say words like that so casually... and speak softly. Nod if you understand."

"Woo woo." Shijo Shinki did as she was told obediently.

After Shinomiya Kaguya released her hand, she lowered her voice and asked, "So, Auntie, did you pass out during intercourse with the president?"

"That's even more obscene!"

Shinomiya Kaguya observed her surroundings again and replied in Shijo Shinki's ear, "No, he just fainted from heatstroke because it was too hot in the warehouse."

"Oh...so it's because of the size that we can't do it smoothly, right?"

"Why do we have to bring up this topic?"

Shinomiya Kaguya was helpless, but she still suppressed her shyness and said, "Whether you can get in smoothly or not, you have to experience it first to know. Girls are very flexible."

"I see. Aunt Grandma, you really know a lot."

"Yes, Princess Zhen, you know too little. And didn't I tell you not to call me Aunt Grandma?"

"Although...but...I can't help but say..."

"Never mind. Just do as you like."

Shinomiya Kaguya no longer insisted on the question of address. She said goodbye to her briefly and went to the student union office.

In the empty room, only neatly arranged tables and chairs were left. She glanced at the place where the president usually sat, but the familiar figure was no longer there. The charging mobile phone on the table was also gone. She guessed that he had taken it away.

Feeling a little lost, Shinomiya Kaguya returned home, and soon after, Hayasaka Ai also returned by car. The two met in the bedroom, and the setting sun shone through the gauze curtains, casting a soft light on Hayasaka Ai.

Her slender figure revealed a hint of fatigue, her usual exquisite makeup had faded a little, and the ends of her hair were slightly curled up, revealing a rare laziness.

"..."

"..."

Their eyes met, but they were speechless.

Compared to their previous relaxed and friendly interactions, the atmosphere between the two this time was obviously different.

Maybe it will be like this in the future... We can never go back to the way it was before.

"Hayasaka, how are you? You seem a little run down."

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. I'll be back after a good night's sleep."

Hayasaka Ai said calmly, "Regarding our plans for tomorrow, Saturday, we're going to attend a prominent figure's wedding and have a tea party with the ladies in the afternoon. Do you think anything needs to be changed?"

"No, go get some rest early and take care of yourself, Hayasaka. If you still don't feel well tomorrow, just take the day off."

"Okay, I'll leave first then."

"Ah."

Although the atmosphere between them is a little awkward now, the relationship between Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai has not changed over the years.

Now that I see that she looks so abnormal, I still feel very concerned.

◇

"It's raining again! Summer's already over, but the weather's still so abnormal. Bro, do you think it's going to be the end of the world in a few years?"

Looking at the rain outside the window, Kei, who originally wanted to go out to Fujiwara's house on Saturday, felt a little emo for a moment. It felt terrible to have his plans disrupted without any warning.

Even in the face of this abnormal weather, people are becoming more pessimistic, and even fantasizing about some doomsday theories circulating on the Internet.

But if the world really were to be destroyed tomorrow, what would she most want to do?

I can't think of an answer at the moment, so I'll ask someone who is watching TV leisurely on the sofa.

She turned around, crossed her arms, and asked, "Brother, if tomorrow was the end of the world, what would you do?"

"It's the end of the world..."

A certain Hawaiian sibling misunderstanding suddenly came to Baiyin's mind.

What happened was that the Hawaiian authorities sent a nuclear bomb warning to everyone's mobile phone, and a sister woke up her sleeping brother, informed him of the nuclear bomb situation, and asked if he wanted to take a shot before he died.

Then the two of them did it.

If a nuclear bomb really exploded, dying there and then might not be a big deal, but the tragic thing is that afterwards it was discovered that the intelligence about the nuclear bomb attack was false!

I can only say that life is more dramatic than novels.

Baiyin said, "If it can be avoided, no matter how small the probability is, I will naturally go to prevent the arrival of the doomsday. I'm not tired of living yet."

"What a strange answer! Is your Chuunibyou still getting worse? You don't have the ability to stop the end of the world, do you?"

"Who knows, maybe by then I'll explode, and the hidden power that's been dormant in my body will burst out, even the end of the world will tremble, and I'll just disappear on my own."

"..."

Xiaogui was speechless. He was so excited. Did he really think this was some hot-blooded youth comic?

"What if it's a doomsday that's unavoidable and can't be stopped?"

"If it's the end of the world that's absolutely inevitable based on the rules, then I'd probably just go out and bask in the sun all day, go diving in the sea, go fishing, or something like that."

"Ah? Is it just such a simple idea? Don't you have any wishes you want to fulfill? Like confessing your feelings to the girl you like, or letting go of yourself and following your inner desires to do something that violates morality, logic, and worldly laws..."

Xiaogui's eyes were a little vague.

Baiyin glanced at her and said, "Are you stupid? If I really had evil thoughts, would I tell you? Would you tell me the most evil thoughts in your heart?"

"..."

It seemed to be true, but she was thinking too simply.

But what about my brother's most evil thoughts? I'm quite curious.

"It's like who would keep a diary? Even if they did, who would write down their deepest thoughts in it?"

Baiyin continued, "Besides, letting go of yourself and venting your desires when you're on the verge of death is too ugly. If I really wanted to do something, I would have done it on a normal day. Why would I wait until the end of the world?"

"Really? I don't believe it."

Xiaogui looked at Baiyin, who was lying on the sofa in loose home clothes and looked extremely lazy. It was hard for him to imagine that he could do whatever he wanted.

"Because you spend most of your weekends staying at home or going to the bookstore, you don't have many friends. You look like you're about to become a neet."

"That's because I hate meaningless socializing. If it's a student union event, I'm still happy to participate. After all, everyone is a beautiful girl. Even if it's just asking about my well-being, which is something that wastes my energy, I'm happy to accept it."

"It sounds like you're treating the student council like a harem, brother. That's a bit low."

Xiaogui sighed softly and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

"You're a nagging, chuunibyou, a bitch, and a neet. With so many negative attributes piled together, I'm afraid even if a girl is attracted to your appearance, they'll soon stay away because of your inner regret."

So in the end, the only one who can truly accept all his shortcomings is probably... myself?

As for that Hayasaka-senpai, it won't be long before she can't stand her brother's shortcomings and chooses to break up.

Oh my, brother guessed it was his first love, and he was heartbroken by a bad woman. He would probably cry his heart out, and in the end he would have to be comforted by himself.

silver:"……"

Even without reading her mind, I could tell by feeling that my sister was fantasizing about something outrageous.

Has the infection of Kaguya's delusion virus deepened?

"Ding dong."

At this time, the doorbell rang. Shirogane got up and opened the door, only to see a wild Hayasaka Ai standing at the door.

Why describe her as wild?

This needs to be considered in light of her current condition. She was pulling a small suitcase, had no umbrella with her, her hair and clothes were soaked, and she looked as miserable as a high school girl who had suffered a mental trauma and ran away from home.

Hayasaka Ai usually ties her hair up with a hairband, but now her long golden hair is loose, and after being wet by the rain, large clumps of hair are sticking together.

He didn't even wear contact lenses, but a pair of silver-rimmed glasses with narrow oval frames. If he had tidied himself up properly, he would have definitely exuded intellectuality, but now, coupled with his drenched appearance, he looked even more shabby.

"...Shirogane, something strange has happened. Can I stay with you for a while?"

"Of course, come in and take a shower first. Don't catch a cold now that the weather is getting colder."

Ever since the last time Kaguya Shinomiya caught a cold after being caught in the rain, Shirogane felt that this might be some strange rule of the world. As long as girls get caught in the rain, they are likely to catch a cold.

So without even asking what happened, he took Hayasaka Ai directly to the bathroom.

Naturally, Xiaogui saw this scene directly, and he was so stunned that the plate in his hand fell to the ground.

what's the situation? ! !

How come my brother took a girl into the bathroom in less than a minute after opening the door?

Because Hayasaka Ai's image had changed drastically, Xiao Kei, who was not familiar with her, did not recognize her at first glance like Shirogane did.

Suppressing her surging thoughts, the girl went to get a broom and dustpan to clean up the broken plates.

After all, this thing is quite dangerous. If you step on it without paying attention, your feet may slip or it may pierce the sole of your shoe.

On the other hand, Shirogane also knew that Hayasaka Ai liked to take a bath, so he directly added hot water to the bathtub. By the time Hayasaka Ai came in with her clothes to change, half of the hot water was already filled, which was just right with the shower time.

"Thank you."

Hayasaka Ai naturally noticed this thoughtfulness, and a happy smile appeared on her slightly tired face.
