Besides these advantages, the downside of living with her mother is that her mother pays more attention to her studies, which makes Hayasaka Ai both happy and helpless, and she can only spend more time studying.
Although she was a top student, in order to avoid attracting attention at Shuchiin Academy, she was already able to precisely control her grades in junior high school, maintaining her academic ranking in the middle of the entire grade.
Now that they've come to Soubu High School from Shuchiin, the environment here isn't as complicated as Shuchiin. Hayasaka Ai no longer hides her identity as Kaguya Shinomiya's maid, so there's no need to hide her studies anymore.
Kaguya Shinomiya wasn't too surprised that Hayasaka Ai had been studying with Luo Yu. After all, Hayasaka Ai's mother, Nao Hayasaka, was very concerned about her daughter's academic performance, and Kaguya could understand why Hayasaka Ai was working even harder.
Kaguya Shinomiya nodded and said, "Since you're going to do well on the exam, then good luck! But the top spot in the grade is definitely mine!"
After Kaguya Shinomiya made her declaration, Yukino immediately looked over.
"Although you are very confident, I can't pretend I didn't hear you. First place in the grade is mine."
A fierce sense of competition immediately erupted between the two girls with long, straight black hair.
As for Luo Yu, he calmly watched the show from the sidelines.
Strictly speaking, Yukino wasn't wrong; the top spot in the grade wouldn't belong to them, but only to Luo Yu.
As for Luo Yu, he belongs to Yukino, which is roughly equivalent to Yukino being the top student in the grade. That makes sense.
After staring at each other for a while, the two girls finally calmed down and decided to settle their differences during the midterm exams.
After leaving the school, Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka got into the waiting car and left first.
Miko and Ai also said goodbye to Yukino and Luo Yu and went home, while Luo Yu and Yukino went to the supermarket to buy groceries before returning home.
Yang Nai isn't coming home today, so it'll just be the three of them having dinner together.
After dinner, Yukino continued studying, while Lani went upstairs to play games.
Luo Yu naturally went to the round table hall, but before conducting today's experiment, he had to first enhance the few ashes he had on hand.
Having only the Bionic Teardrop and Black Blade Dixi, both upgraded to the maximum level, isn't quite enough. Since I have plenty of materials, I might as well upgrade all the high-performance ash to the maximum level.
While Luo Yu was strengthening the divine bird warrior Onis, he couldn't help but recall the blonde girl Rodrika who had helped him with spirit tuning and strengthening of the ashes at the border.
"After I promised the Beast of Elden, the burning of the Golden Tree stopped, and the Hall of the Round Table wasn't completely destroyed. I wonder how Rodrika is doing; I hope she's alright. And what about the blacksmith, Shugu? Has he regained consciousness?"
Of all the people still alive in the entire round table hall, only the two of them remained, and they were also the two people Luo Yu interacted with the most.
"The major threat is gone, and the Round Table Hall isn't a place anyone can go to, so it should still be safe."
With a sigh, Luo Yu collected the ashes of the divine bird warrior Onis, and then took out the ashes of the demi-human swordsman Yosi.
After upgrading all the ashes to the maximum level, Luo Yu hadn't even used up half of the lily of the valley in his graveyard, which showed just how many materials he had accumulated.
After putting away the extra lily of the valley from the grave, Luo Yu began his daily experiments.
Looking at the body that was forming within the magic circle, a hint of anticipation flashed in Luo Yu's eyes: "It'll be soon, not long from now!"
At nine o'clock, when Luo Yu finished one round of experiments and took out the materials to prepare for the second round, his phone, which was placed aside, vibrated.
It wasn't Alice; Alice had already called right after dinner. This message was from Hayasaka Ai.
Upon picking it up, I realized it was someone asking Luo Yu to discuss the selection of components for assembling a computer.
Ai Hayasaka: [Luo Yu-kun, did I disturb you? I looked it up online, and there are so many new RAM, power supplies, and cases! I don't know how to choose. Could you give me some advice?]
Upon seeing Hayasaka Ai's message, Luo Yu smiled and prepared various materials while replying to the message.
Luo Yu: [As Kaguya's maid, you're not short of money, are you? For someone with your financial means wanting to buy a computer, I usually tell you not to look at the price; just buy the most expensive one from the nicer-looking options.]
After seeing Luo Yu's reply, Hayasaka Ai, who was taking a bath in the bathroom, puffed out her cheeks and quickly replied.
Hayasaka Ai: [That's not entirely true. Although I've saved some money over the years, I'm saving it for my retirement, so I can't spend it recklessly. I have to be careful with my money!]
Below the message, several pictures were also sent, showing the memory, power supply, and computer case.
Hayasaka Ai: [Could you give me some advice?]
Having no other choice, Luo Yu carefully reviewed the product information and then gave Hayasaka Ai some advice.
For the next three or four minutes, Hayasaka Ai did not reply, seemingly lost in thought.
A while later, another message came in.
Ai Hayasaka: [Luo Yu-kun, I've almost come up with an idea. Could you come with me to that computer store you mentioned this weekend? I'd like to pick out some parts myself, and I'd also like to treat you to a meal to thank you for saving me back in Tokyo.]
Seeing Hayasaka Ai's invitation, Luo Yu understood that the main purpose of that last sentence was probably to invite him to dinner.
Come to think of it, given Hayasaka Ai's personality, she would naturally want to repay him for saving her and healing her injuries.
Luo Yu did not refuse and agreed immediately.
Luo Yu: [Sure, let's set a time then.]
Seeing that Luo Yu had agreed, Hayasaka Ai, who had been anxiously waiting, cheered happily. She then planned to ask her young mistress for leave after taking a shower.
Chapter 180 Saturday, Before Departure (2/2)
In bedroom 8, stimulated by Yukino, Kaguya Shinomiya was also seriously reviewing her studies.
9. She must secure the top spot in the grade without fail, which is also her first step in joining the student council and becoming the student council president!
3. Although she is no longer at Shuchiin High School, but at Soubu High School, Kaguya Shinomiya's goal remains unchanged.
9. Pushing open the door, Hayasaka Ai looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, who was studying diligently, and said, "Kaguya-sama, I need to ask for leave this weekend."
"Weekend?"
4 Turning to look at Hayasaka Ai, Shinomiya Kaguya said, "It's still early. Are you going to ask for leave so soon?"
4. Hayasaka Ai nodded and said, "Since we just made the decision, we came over to tell you first."
6. Kaguya Shinomiya naturally had no problem with her maid's request for leave, which she considered like a sister.
"Sure, but we're not in Tokyo anymore, and you don't really need to work on weekends, so you can manage your own time. What do you need to do? Is one day enough?"
Hayasaka Ai nodded and said, "That's enough. I just want to go out and build my own computer."
"computer?"
A question mark appeared above Kaguya Shinomiya's head as she glanced at the large monitor on her desk and said, "Isn't this just a computer?"
Knowing that her young mistress was unfamiliar with modern electronic devices, Hayasaka Ai explained, "This is an all-in-one computer that integrates into the monitor. What I want is a personal computer that I can assemble myself by matching various parts. It will have better performance and be larger."
Kaguya Shinomiya asked, puzzled, "Can't it be small in size and high in performance?"
"Good performance is fine, but current technology's heat dissipation efficiency is insufficient to support it."
Kaguya Shinomiya didn't quite understand, but she had a general idea of what Ai Hayasaka wanted, so she nodded and said, "I understand, then go ahead."
Kaguya Shinomiya agreed to take the leave, and Ai Hayasaka smiled expectantly.
"Then I'll go back to my room. Kaguya-sama, you should also get some rest and not stay up too late."
After saying that, Hayasaka Ai left Kaguya Shinomiya's bedroom and returned to her own room.
She jumped onto the bed and picked up her phone to start searching for restaurants where she and Luo Yu would have dinner together that weekend.
"Yes, we have to find something that tastes good enough. You know, Luo Yujun often eats the dishes made by those two young ladies, so it can't be anything less than delicious."
While Hayasaka Ai was happily preparing for the weekend's formation, Luo Yu completed the second round of experiments.
After noting down a series of improvements, I received another message on my phone from Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Satoru's message was very brief, consisting of only one sentence.
I've thoroughly dealt with the Sorcerer's Association; there shouldn't be any trouble for a while.
Stroking his chin, Luo Yu said with a smile, "The message only came over at night, and there were no photos. It seems things have gotten pretty big. I guess those major sorcerer families have gotten involved too. That's why Gojo Satoru has toned it down a bit. Anyway, as long as they don't bother me in Chiba, that's fine. In a while, barring any mishaps, those guys from the Sorcerer Association will probably be dead."
Even though Luo Yu had already dealt with several sorcerers and top-level curse spirits from Xia Youjie's side, the opponent still had a lot of strength reserves, and dealing with this corrupt sorcerer association would be a piece of cake.
Not to mention the two Sukuna, who could go berserk at any moment.
"Yes, to prevent those guys from expanding the battle area, let's set up warning devices throughout Chiba."
After collecting all the experimental materials, Luo Yu took out runes one by one and began to modify them.
After completing the modifications, Luo Yu spoke with Lani and Yukino, then left home and traveled to various locations in Chiba (8521) to bury the sensor devices he had created underground (04278).
After everything was settled, I got home, and it was already past midnight. It was time to wash up and go to bed.
In the following days, Luo Yu's life settled down. Those sorcerers indeed took no further action, seemingly genuinely frightened by Gojo Satoru's ruthless methods.
After exchanging contact information, Utaha Kasumigaoka in Tokyo did not get in touch. According to Eriri, she had been engrossed in rewriting the second volume of the story and had not paid much attention to her schoolwork.
However, given Kasumigaoka Utaha's academic prowess, there's no need to worry too much; she'll likely remain first in her grade.
On Saturday, as before, Erina and her two friends, along with Miko and Hana, came over.
Because midterm exams are coming up, Jianzi and Xiaohua brought their school textbooks with them in addition to practicing magic, planning to review them in their spare time.
Upon hearing their plans, Alice curiously flipped open Miko's English textbook and exclaimed, "Sigh... It's completely different from our textbook! In our English textbook, a lot of the terms are related to ingredients and cooking!"
Luo Yu, sipping his coffee, said, “After all, Totsuki is a professional academy, which is different from ordinary high schools. Generally speaking, students who graduate from Totsuki don’t go to university; they all have a clear goal of becoming great chefs. But besides English, do you also study other humanities subjects? Although I am a shareholder, I haven’t really looked into your curriculum.”
Alice smiled and said, "We do have regular classes, and there are also related chemistry classes, since cooking involves a lot of chemical changes, which we all need to learn!"
Then, Alice and Erina explained it to everyone together.
As they listened, Jianzi and Xiaohua's eyes started darting around.
"Ugh...this feels even harder than a normal high school level!"
Smiling, Luo Yu finished his coffee, checked the time, and said, "It's about time. I should head out now. You all focus on your cultivation. I'll be back this afternoon."
Seeing that Luo Yu was about to leave, and was going on a date with Hayasaka Ai, the maid of the Shinomiya family, Alice immediately ran over and stared at Luo Yu with wide eyes.
"Luo Yujun..."
Luo Yu gently pinched Alice's cheek and said, "I'll definitely go if I've promised. You don't want me to break my promise, do you?"
Alice didn't answer, but looked at Luo Yu and then pouted.
"kindness?"
Luo Yu looked at the girl in surprise, then turned to look at the other girls who were still watching.
"Are you serious? Here?"
They hadn't kissed like this on their previous dates.
Hearing Luo Yu's words, Alice hesitated. Indeed, they should find a better time and place.
"Then you mustn't not come back! I'm planning to cook you a new dish that I just figured out tonight!"
"No problem, I'll be back this afternoon."
Patting Alice on the head, Luo Yu left amidst the girls' waving goodbye.
Jianzi and Xiaohua exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.
They were too shy and someone else beat them to it.
Chapter 181 A Date with Hayasaka Ai (1/2)
When Luo Yu arrived at the place he had arranged to meet Hayasaka Ai, the maid had already arrived first.
Today, Hayasaka Ai wasn't wearing her Soubu High school uniform or her maid outfit. Instead, she wore a white casual dress, which, combined with her blonde hair and blue eyes, made her a beautiful sight to behold.
Good morning, Hayasaka.
Approaching Hayasaka Ai, Luo Yu looked at her and said, "Have you been waiting long?"
Hayasaka Ai smiled and shook her head: "No, I've only been here three or four minutes. Well then, Luo Yu-kun, let's go!"
"Well, let's go."
With Hayasaka Ai by their side, the two chatted as they arrived at a computer parts store in the shopping street, which had just opened.
Seeing Luo Yu, such a big customer, arrive, the shop owner was very happy: "Oh! Isn't this Mr. Luo Yu? You're here to patronize my business again?"
Luo Yu smiled and pointed to Hayasaka Ai beside him, saying, "It's not me today, it's my classmate who came to buy something. She wants to build a high-performance computer, so I introduced her to you. This is a big deal; she's someone who doesn't mind spending money."
Upon seeing that Luo Yu was accompanied by another cute girl, the shop owner, after a moment of envy, immediately invited the two into the shop and began to help them choose accessories.
Hayasaka Ai's requirements are simple: she only wants top-of-the-line equipment and to pick the best ones.
The only requirement is that the computer must be built entirely in white, from the case to the internal components such as the graphics card, RAM, motherboard, and cooler.
It took a little time to select all the items, which were then placed on the table for the shop assistant to calculate the prices.
Incidentally, Hayasaka Ai also bought herself a new set of desktop peripherals, including a keyboard, mouse, and headphones.
Looking at the accessories that Hayasaka Ai had chosen, Luo Yu smiled and said, "The configuration is basically the same as my computer, except for the color. They're all white, so they'll definitely look great when assembled."
