He'd completely forgotten what an unreliable and eccentric person her cousin was. Is this alright? Is it really okay to leave such an innocent child with that perverted older sister?

Of course there is a problem!

But this is just right, as it makes it easier for him to continue with his plans.

"If that's the case, I can give you a suggestion."

"Ok?"

Sakurakoji's eyes narrowed slightly, then he gave a deliberately wicked smile and told her about his evil plan.

"What do you think of that apartment upstairs? The environment and decor are pretty good, right?"

"Hmm." Recalling her impression from earlier, Shiina Mashiro nodded.

"Moreover, it's close to Philia Academy, making it very convenient to go to and from school! The supporting facilities are excellent, with a shopping street and subway right underground."

"Most importantly, we're having a grand opening sale right now. I know someone there, and since we know each other, I'll give you a 50% discount on the monthly rent!"

"Check in now and receive complimentary room cleaning and laundry services, as well as a dedicated maid wake-up service!"

"How is it? Pretty good, right?"

Sakurakoji's talent is evident in his detailed listing of the area's merits, much like a tragic salesperson willing to cut corners and even lose money to retain customers.

"Yeah, it's really good." Shiina Mashiro clapped her hands in agreement.

The mere fact that someone could clean her room and do her laundry was incredibly appealing to her, not to mention all the other advantages she had.

Seeing that she was about to be convinced, Sakurakoji Sai decided to unleash his final trump card.

"Actually, this coffee shop is also the property of the apartment. As long as you move in, we can provide you with free food delivery service."

"I need to stay here! Thank you!"

Shiina Mashiro bowed deeply and made a decision immediately.

"She's teachable." Seeing how cooperative she was, Sakurakoji Sai nodded with a pleased expression.

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 89 Kindness is Taken for Advantage

"Um, Young Master Caihua, what's going on here?"

In the afternoon, Aoyama Nanami, who had been suspended from his training and urgently recalled from Sakura Mansion, looked at Sakurakoji Takashi with trembling eyebrows and lips—and the strange girl who appeared out of nowhere behind him.

It has to be said that this child is really cute. Not only are her features beautiful, but she also has a very pure temperament and beautiful hair. She looks like an adorable little rare animal.

She was only gone for half a day, so where did he pick up this woman from, and how did he even bring her back?!

"Let me explain," Sakurakoji said, preparing to speak.

"Please, please!" Aoyama Nanami's lips twitched incessantly, her expression almost uncontrollable.

"This is Shiina Mashiro, a friend I just met at noon. She will be moving in with us soon, and will also be your classmate at Philia Academy."

"This is Nanami Aoyama. Like you, she is a second-year student who will be transferring to Philia. She will also be working as a maid here and will soon be responsible for taking care of you."

Sakurakoji introduced the two to each other, and Shiina Mashiro nodded first, greeting Aoyama Nanami.

"Hello, please guide me in the future."

"Oh, I see. Hello, I'm Nanami Aoyama. Nice to meet you... Wait!" Nanami Aoyama habitually bowed first, displaying a business-like smile, but she quickly realized what she was doing and suddenly looked at Sakurakoji Takayuki.

"Young Master! What do you mean by 'someone who will take care of you immediately'?"

"what is happening?"

"Ah~ don't rush me, I was just about to say that." Sakura Koji waved her hand to signal her to calm down. "Because Mashiro's personality is a bit different from others, I felt that she might need some extra help, so I added some supplementary content to the terms and conditions of stay."

"This includes household chores such as waking her up and cleaning her room. Depending on the situation, there may be other sabbaticals as well."

"They've already called out my name so quickly?!" Aoyama Nanami looked shocked, feeling as if she had been unjustly attacked. "...Even if you say that, why was I chosen? Shouldn't I be the young master's personal maid?!"

"Because I don't really trust others, I thought I'd give this task to you. You two are at the same level, aren't you? Hehe~" After saying that, he stuck out his tongue, tapped his head, and gave her a cute look.

"Or do you think this will increase your burden, so you want a raise? Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

"That's not the problem..." Aoyama Nanami couldn't help but cover her face and murmur.

She couldn't very well say that if she could, she didn't want to be someone else's maid; being his personal maid would be enough.

"Forget about the raise. I've already received so much; I don't need any more." Her eyes were filled with complex emotions. Even though she was somewhat unwilling, she couldn't disobey her master's decision—something she had learned from her seniors today.

As a maid, unless it involves illegal or criminal activities or crosses the line, you must find a way to complete any order given by your master, no matter how unreasonable it may seem.

"Don't worry, considering this, I'll talk to Yi Yu and ask her to reduce your workload in other places."

"Ah, but things on my end will remain the same."

"And although she's called a maid, she only needs to help her out in a supportive way... although this task might be a bit complicated."

Later on, even Sakurakoji's talent began to wonder if he should give her a difficult task.

Although from the perspective of the selection, Aoyama Nanami is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. Not only does her daily activity schedule fit perfectly, but she is also extremely responsible and would never mistreat Shiina Mashiro or cause her any bad things to happen.

Given her earnest and straightforward personality, she is also the perfect candidate to teach Shiina Mashiro some common sense.

But—it is precisely because it fits so well with responsibility that the task seems especially heavy.

"Well, anyway, just try it out first. If you still have difficulties, I'll come and help you." He gave her an encouraging look, telling her not to feel pressured.

"Young Master!" Aoyama Nanami looked at him seriously, with a hint of displeasure.

"Aren't you underestimating me? It's just adding one more room to tidy up. It won't have a big impact on me. I'll finish the other work as well. There's no need to reduce it."

"Leave Ms. Shiina's matter to me with confidence. I will do my best to show you!"

"Oh, oh, then good luck." Sakurakoji's face twitched, his expression subtle, unsure of how to respond.

You must never judge a person by their appearance.

Never mind, she'll find out when the time comes.

"Mashiro, when are you planning to move in?" he asked Shiina Mashiro, who was already lost in thought.

Shiina Mashiro snapped out of her daze, staring blankly at him. After he repeated the question, she replied, "I don't know. I'll go back and ask Chihiro."

"Okay, contact me once you've made up your mind, and I can send someone to help you move your luggage."

"Yes, thank you for your talent."

Look, she even wants to thank us.

"There's no need for such a dangerous approach; this is true cooperation and mutual benefit," he thought to himself.

……

After seeing Shiina Mashiro off, Sakurakoji Sai continued to work at Shinsei in the evening.

I have my own things to do, but I also have work to do.

We must not underestimate the bonds we have already forged because of the expanded battlefront; it would be terrible to suffer losses due to neglect. Consolidating our gains, remaining humble and prudent, he gave himself a pep talk and pushed open the door to Fanxing.

"Good morning!"

……

A few hours later, Sakurakoji stood boredly at the bar, yawning.

Unlike the intense and exciting life of the past few days, he had some rare free time tonight—no unexpected guests required his company.

Suddenly finding himself with nothing to do, he found himself in a predicament where he didn't know what to do.

Snapped,

He slapped himself. You have a problem with letting me rest? Are you being shameless?

As if hearing his thoughts, just as he was pondering whether life had successfully conditioned him, a voice came from the side.

"Mr. Caihua, are you free now?"

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ichiki Nijika with her hands behind her back, her eyes darting towards him.

"I'm free, very free!"

Although he didn't know what she wanted to do, he wasn't going to let go of a situation where someone offered themselves up for free.

"Great!" Ijichi Nijika jumped up happily. "Um, Ryo and I are going to rehearse a bit. Can Mr. Caihua come with us?"

"It would be great if you could help us see where we need to improve."

She revealed her purpose, and Sakurakoji Takara understood it perfectly.

"OK, I'll tell the boss, you go ahead first, I'll go to the recording studio and meet you there right away."

"Thank you!"

After thanking them, she skipped over to Yamada Ryo and Kaname Rakuna, pulling them ahead to the backstage area.

He tidied himself up quickly, then greeted Ijichi Seika and asked the tsundere siscon to watch the front desk for him. Although Ijichi Seika always seemed reluctant when it came to these kinds of things, she had never refused.

After informing them, he also went backstage.

Just as he told Ogiso Setsuna, although his initial task at Fanxing was simply to cook, as he gradually became familiar with them, many additional tasks were assigned to him, such as accompanying Yamada Ryo and the others during training and acting as their part-time babysitter.

Damn it, is this what they mean by being bullied for being kind? One day, he'll get his revenge!

After making a silent vow in his heart, he arrived at the recording studio door, pushed it open, and went inside.

"Talent is here." Yamada Ryo called out to the other two as he saw him.

"So what do you need me to do today?" He walked skillfully to the keyboard in the room, assuming that today's task was also to use the keyboard to provide accompaniment for them.

Because their band members weren't all together yet, they would occasionally ask him to help with rehearsals. Although the band now has three members and they have Yao Le Nai's guitar, they still can't perform formally without a lead singer, so he usually fills in as the lead singer.

"Ah, that one."

The slightly flustered sound of Ichiji Nijika made him stop what he was doing and look at her with a puzzled expression.

"Actually, I didn't ask Mr. Cai to accompany me today. I have some other things I'd like to ask you."

"Other matters?"

“Yes!” Ichiji Nijika nodded seriously. “Actually, Ryo composed a piece of music recently, so we wanted to let Mr. Caihua listen to it and see what he thinks.”

"Wow~" Sakurakoji found it interesting. "What kind of song is it?"

“That’s how it is.” She walked to her drum kit and gestured to Yamada Ryo and Kaname with her eyes.

The next second, as her drumsticks struck, the three began performing Yamada Ryo's original composition. Although there was no lead singer, the melody still gave a clue as to what kind of song it was.

Three or four minutes later, the music stopped.

"How did it go?" Ichiji Nijika waited anxiously for his answer.

"Hmm..." Sakura Koji crossed his arms and stroked his chin, the melody from earlier still echoing in his mind. After a moment, he opened his eyes and smiled as he gave his answer.

"Although some parts could be modified, I think it's pretty good. It should be fine as an original song for the stage."

"That's great! Did you hear that, Ryo? I knew you could do it!" Ichiji Nijika excitedly raised her hand and waved the drumsticks, praising Yamada Ryo.

"Hmph, of course, as expected of me." Yamada Ryo proudly puffed out her not-so-ample chest and responded smugly.

"Hehe~ Interesting woman." The two's reaction made even the cats in the room laugh.

"The only problem you have now before you can go on stage to perform is finding a lead singer."

"Hmm! But there are still no clues..." At this point, Ichiji Nijika immediately fell silent.

"It's okay, we'll definitely find it after school starts. If we can't find it, I'll look for it for you," Sakura Koji encouraged her.

"Will Mr. Caihua go find it for us?"
