The King of Elden's Multiverse Life

Hayasaka Ai said with anticipation in her eyes, "I'm really looking forward to it too. I can finally get a new computer! I didn't use the old one for very long, less than half a year, before it broke down."

Hayasaka Ai readily swiped her card to pay, and also gave the villa's address so the shop could help deliver the items back.

After finishing their shopping, seeing that it was only a little past ten o'clock, Hayasaka Ai looked at Luo Yu and said, "Luo Yu-kun, let's shop around a bit more. The restaurant I booked is in this area, so we can go there for lunch on the way."

Luo Yu readily agreed: "Sure, let's go then."

Hayasaka Ai's personality is rather low-key and serious due to the influence of her years working as a maid, and she is not as lively and outgoing as the average high school girl.

However, walking down the street today, Luo Yu could clearly sense the lively emotions emanating from this maid girl.

Luo Yu smiled and said, "In a good mood?"

Hayasaka Ai turned her head, smiled and nodded, saying, "It's much easier now that I'm in a different environment and don't have to live like before. Not just me, but Kaguya-sama feels the same way."

Looking at the smiling, relaxed girl, Luo Yu asked, "Are you getting used to living in Chiba? After all, it's not Tokyo anymore, so there are bound to be differences. Also, the Shinomiya family's label will gradually fade from you."

After thinking for a moment, Hayasaka Ai said, "I'm alright. After all, my family was defeated and absorbed by the Shinomiya family in business competition. We don't have any good feelings towards the Shinomiya family except for Kaguya-sama, and it doesn't matter where we go. As for Kaguya-sama, the head of the family takes good care of her. Although Kaguya-sama doesn't have any power in the family, she still has some assets. As long as things go smoothly, it's enough for Kaguya-sama to live a comfortable life. Not to mention, here in Chiba, there's also Luo Yu-kun here. There's no need to worry about the outcome of the Shinomiya family's succession battle affecting us here."

"Inheritance rights."

Speaking of this, Luo Yu also sighed.

"Although no news has come out from the outside, I can guess that the struggle behind the scenes is definitely fierce."

Hayasaka Ai affirmed, "That's true. Back when I was a spy for Shinomiya Kōkō, I knew a lot of inside information. The struggle for succession started very early. It's just that because Shinomiya Kōkō was the oldest, he started cultivating his own team early on, so he was the strongest. But now, it's hard to say. The higher-ups in the family business have all started to take sides. It's a pity that my mother and I came to Chiba together, so we can't get any more information."

"Don't dwell on those things; they're not good things anyway."

Smiling, Luo Yu pointed to a shop with a queue not far ahead and said, "Crepes, want some?"

Upon seeing the crepe shop and the line of more than a dozen people, Hayasaka Ai's eyes immediately lit up.

"Mmm, I want to eat!"

Despite her considerable wealth, Hayasaka Ai rarely has time to go out and have fun; she's never even gone out to buy things like crepes.

There must be gains and losses.

So the two of them went straight over and started queuing.

After waiting for almost half an hour, it was finally their turn.

Luo Yu ordered a chocolate one, while Hayasaka Ai ordered a strawberry cream one.

Looking at the crepe in her hand, which was emitting a rich aroma, Hayasaka Ai's eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth and took a bite.

"Mmm! Delicious!"

Licking the cream from her lips, Hayasaka Ai's smile grew even brighter.

"Suddenly, I feel like it wouldn't matter if the Shinomiya family were completely destroyed!"

Luo Yu chuckled: "You're exaggerating a bit. It seems you've been exploited a lot over the years."

"is not that right?"

This topic struck a chord with Hayasaka Ai, and while eating her crepe, the girl continued to talk about it.

She has to get up at five every morning to oversee all the work arrangements in the villa. After arriving at school, she must conceal her identity while monitoring Kaguya's surroundings, protecting her safety, and recording her every move. Upon returning in the afternoon, she continues to manage the villa's servants and report on Kaguya's actions during the day. She doesn't get to sleep until midnight.

Then this kind of life continued in a cycle. In addition to the high intensity of the work, he also had to endure the psychological pressure of being a double agent, which can be described as tormenting both his body and mind.

After listening to Hayasaka Ai's story, Luo Yu sighed and said, "That must be really tough. Have you considered quitting?"

"Have!"

Hayasaka Ai stated firmly, "Although my living conditions have improved now, I don't plan to be a maid for the rest of my life. I'm just saving up my savings right now! In another year or two, I'll quit and live the life I want!"

Chapter 182 The Evil Spirit in the Arcade (2/2)

While complaining about Kaguya Shinomiya's exploitation of her, Ai Hayasaka didn't stop eating the crepes, and soon finished one.

Seeing the little bit of cream still stuck to the other person's lips, Luo Yu smiled and took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to the other person.

"Just wipe it."

"Thank you, Luo Yujun."

After wiping her mouth and checking her phone to make sure everything was okay, Hayasaka Ai looked at Luo Yu and said, "Luo Yu-kun, we still have some time before lunch, let's go play there for a while!"

Following the direction pointed out by Hayasaka Ai, Luo Yu saw an arcade.

"Arcade? You still like playing this?"

Hayasaka Ai said excitedly, "Yeah, I really like it, but I rarely have time to go out and have fun. Most of my holidays in the past were only half a day, so I rarely had enough time to play. Most of the time I used to rest and recover my energy."

"In that case, let's go have a good time."

Looking thoughtfully behind him, Luo Yu then took Hayasaka Ai and headed straight to the arcade. They bought a box of game tokens and started playing enthusiastically.

Hayasaka Ai's first goal was the zombie-fighting game.

Insert a coin, hand a simulator gun to Luo Yu, and the two begin the first challenge.

It's clear that although it's a simulator gun for a game, Hayasaka Ai has obviously undergone professional training, as she uses it very skillfully during practice.

As he aimed at the zombie and pulled the trigger, Luo Yu said, "Isn't the Shinomiya family's training a bit outrageous? Do they even train with firearms?"

Hayasaka Ai said definitively, "It is indeed a bit outrageous, but as a large conglomerate, personal attendants need to have this kind of training to prevent any unforeseen events. Also, I have something to tell you, Luo Yu-kun: I have a legal right to carry a gun! It's just that I'm out having fun today, so I didn't bring any weapons. And with Luo Yu-kun here, I don't think I'll run into any danger, right? Ah, there's a big one coming over there, quickly focus fire!"

With their quick reflexes and accurate shooting, the two easily passed the first level and entered the second level.

While playing, Luo Yu also discovered that there were actually several evil spirits in this bustling arcade.

However, they weren't the kind that walked around, but rather evil spirits, some tall and some short, hiding in corners, standing motionless in place.

It's not that they don't attack; rather, these evil spirits simply stand still, turning their necks to watch the humans passing by, searching for someone who can see them, and then launching an attack.

After noticing the presence of these evil spirits, Luo Yu did not act immediately. He carefully observed them while continuing to play games with Hayasaka Ai.

The main purpose of coming out today is still to deal with Hayasaka Ai. As for the evil spirits, we can take care of them with a little effort later.

Half an hour later, the two successfully completed the entire zombie game and received a lot of prize tickets.

Then, Hayasaka Ai, still wanting more, dragged Luo Yu to play other games.

As Luo Yu passed by those evil spirits, he secretly snapped his fingers, sending out several streams of magic that instantly eliminated all the evil spirits that were still searching for prey.

Hayasaka Ai just turned her head and saw what Luo Yu was doing. She asked curiously, "Luo Yu-kun, what are you doing?"

Luo Yu explained in a low voice, "There were a few evil spirits in this arcade, but they've been dealt with now. Don't worry, keep playing."

"Evil spirit?"

Hayasaka Ai nodded, showing no fear whatsoever.

Just as she herself said, with Luo Yu by her side, she didn't need to worry about encountering any danger at all.

"Speaking of which, I've never seen what an evil spirit looks like. Is it even possible for me to see one?"

Luo Yu nodded, picked up a basketball from the basketball machine and shot it, then said, "Sure, but I've already eliminated the evil spirits in the arcade. If you want to see them, wait until you see them outside, then I'll show them to you. But just so you know, the evil spirits aren't very interesting."

"It's nothing, I was just curious and wanted to take a look."

As she spoke, Hayasaka Ai picked up a basketball, swished it through the net, and gave Luo Yu a provocative look.

Luo Yu smiled and began to spar with Hayasaka Ai.

I played in the arcade for over an hour, used up all the game tokens I bought, and then exchanged the prize tickets I collected for a white bear plush toy before my arcade session ended.

Holding a large plush toy, Hayasaka Ai said contentedly, "After playing around like this, I feel like I can work at a high intensity for another month!"

Luo Yu laughed and said, "Is it really necessary to go to such lengths? If it really doesn't work out, why don't you come work at my place? I'm planning to move to a new house, and Yang Nai is helping me choose one. Once we move into the new house, with more space, we'll definitely need someone to manage it. I'm not willing to hire ordinary people."

Luo Yu wasn't joking. In every respect, Hayasaka Ai was indeed an excellent and perfect maid. She was highly skilled and knew about the supernatural world.

Especially since the house Yang Nai is going to buy next is mostly an estate, it will definitely need people to manage it.

After thinking it over, it really comes down to Hayasaka Ai being the only one capable of doing this job.

"me?"

Hayasaka Ai was quite surprised; she hadn't expected Luo Yu to say that.

Luo Yu nodded: "I'm not joking. The new home is indeed being prepared. It will most likely be a manor, and we'll need a head butler."

After a two-second silence, Hayasaka Ai said, "An entire manor, and I'm not the only maid? Looks like you, Luo Yu-kun, are better at exploiting people!"

Luo Yu shrugged and said, "Of course you won't be the only one. I'll arrange subordinates for you, but they won't be human."

"Not human?"

"Yes, and I'll definitely provide you with magical items, so you won't have to do everything by yourself. How about it, consider it? My treatment here is definitely no worse than Kaguya's."

Looking at Luo Yu, Hayasaka Ai admitted that she was indeed somewhat tempted.

But it was just a fleeting thought; she didn't want to leave Kaguya Shinomiya anytime soon. Kaguya had just arrived in Chiba, and Hayasaka Ai would only consider resigning once Kaguya had fully adapted to life there.

"Luo Yu-kun, thank you for the invitation," Hayasaka Ai said with a smile. "Let's wait a while. I don't plan to resign right now."

Luo Yu hadn't expected Hayasaka Ai to agree so readily, so he nodded and said, "Sure, my invitation is always valid. Just let me know if you want to come. Now, shall we go have lunch? You must be hungry after all that playing around."

"Let's go have lunch then! I found a really good restaurant!"

Chapter 183 Hayasaka Ai: I'm being followed? (1/2)

After enjoying a delicious Thai meal at a high-end Thai restaurant, Luo Yu and Hayasaka Ai strolled around outside for a while longer.

At Hayasaka Ai's insistence, they went to find two evil spirits wandering outside. After disgusting Hayasaka Ai, the two ended their activities for the day and went home.

As for assembling Hayasaka Ai's new computer, it was an easy task for her, and Luo Yu didn't need to help.

Upon returning to the mansion, the delivered computer parts had already been placed in Hayasaka Ai's room.

Kaguya Shinomiya was quite surprised to see Hayasaka Ai return, carrying a large doll in her arms.

"Hayasaka, you bought this too?"

Hayasaka Ai shook her head with a smile in her eyes and said, "I didn't buy it. I got it from a voucher when I played games with Luo Yu at the arcade."

"Oh, it's a prize...wait, with whom? Luo Yu-jun?"

Seeing Kaguya's surprise, Hayasaka Ai pretended to realize something and said, "Ah, I seem to have forgotten to tell you, Kaguya-sama, that I went out with Luo Yu-kun today. He took me to buy computer parts, and then we went to the arcade for a good time. We had lunch together before I came back. Kaguya-sama, you should have had a good lunch, right?"

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded stiffly, looking at her maid in disbelief.

She really didn't expect that while she was still thinking about what kind of gift to give Luo Yu as a thank you present, her own maid had already invited him to go out and have fun.

Standing at the door of the room, watching Hayasaka Ai happily unpack each item, Kaguya Shinomiya was momentarily speechless.

Seeing that the young lady hadn't left, Hayasaka Ai asked curiously, "Kaguya-sama, what's wrong? Do you want to watch me assemble a computer?"

Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head and said, "Take your time, I'm going back to my room to read."

After saying that, he glanced at Hayasaka Ai's pure and cute outfit and thought to himself that he should have guessed it a long time ago.

If you're just out shopping, why would you need to dress like this?

That damn Hayasaka! He definitely didn't tell me on purpose!

Hmph, I'm definitely going to find the best gift to give to Luo Yujun and put you down!

With this thought in mind, Kaguya Shinomiya left Ai Hayasaka's room.

After Kaguya Shinomiya left, Ai Hayasaka, beaming, happily unpacked the graphics card.

"Hmph, Miss, I wonder what you'll do next? Good luck, I can't possibly give you advice on everything! Especially since we're likely to become competitors in this area."

Hayasaka Ai might not care about Yukino and the others, but she couldn't care less about Kaguya Shinomiya.

Hayasaka Ai could tell that Shinomiya Kaguya had feelings for Luo Yu, so she needed to compete with her properly.

For so many years, I have always been the young lady's maid.

But this time, I'm sure I'll win!

Five minutes later, the door to the room was pushed open, and the mother, Nao Hayasaka, walked in.

"Why are you back so soon?"

"mom!"

When Hayasaka Ai saw her mother coming over, she happily asked, "Have you finished everything?"

Sitting down by the bedside, watching her daughter assemble the computer, Nao Hayasaka sighed and said, "You finally managed to get this opportunity, and you didn't even cherish it, coming back so soon. This isn't like you, Ai."

"kindness?"
