I was transported by the 100-ton Wang Chuangfei and became a plasma spark spirit?

Don't try to shift the blame onto me. It was clearly because you were wearing yellow-tinted glasses that you got a nosebleed...

Also, Lord Zoffy's copyright expired last night. If you don't change your tune, be careful that Lord Zoffy might come to this world and come after you for copyright fees.

Li Qingyang mentally complained, picked up the remote and paused the TV, then glanced at the time and realized it was almost ten o'clock.

"It's so late, why did you come all the way from Tokyo? Is something wrong? Why didn't you contact me by phone first?"

Upon hearing this, Hayasaka Ai put down the glass in her hand, and the competence and professionalism of a perfect waitress reappeared in her shy, sea-blue eyes.

Regarding this issue, actually...

Today was a day of efficiency and passion for Ai Hayasaka.

Early in the morning, after confirming Lord Qingyang's predicament of being an unregistered person, she quickly and efficiently handled all the daily affairs of the Shinomiya family and the tasks assigned by Lady Kaguya, at three times the usual speed.

Immediately afterwards, she used the Shinomiya family's intelligence network and connections to begin processing Li Qingyang's identity file.

Creating a flawless legal identity from scratch was not difficult for the Shinomiya Foundation; the entire process was smooth and easy.

The moment she got her hands on the file, she casually reported it to Kaguya-sama, and then skipped and hopped straight from Tokyo to Chiba...

As for the detailed report to the main family about Kaguya-sama's words and actions today...

Hehe, the Mistress's spiritual power is only below Lord Qingyang's divine power!

I only mentioned it casually, with a tentative mindset, and the mistress resolved it easily!

Yes, it's solved. I don't know how it was solved, but it's solved anyway!

With Lord Qingyang and the Mistress as her backers, she will never again have to be a despicable informant who is worse than a sewer rat!

Let's go eat OO, Shinomiya Hirokawa!

The blonde girl took out a document in a brown paper bag from her simple little bag, held it with both hands, and solemnly handed it to Li Qingyang, who looked surprised.

I never expected that all the requests I made to the little ghost girl back then would actually come true... even if it was in the form of her living off me.

Hmm, that's not necessarily a bad thing. He's the kind of person who'll eat anything, whether it's a free lunch or a hard one.

The black-haired boy reached out and took the file folder, which was slightly warm from the girl's palm.

He tore open the seal and pulled out a stack of brand-new certificates and documents.

Passport, resident certificate, identity certificate, etc., are all available.

The problem of his unregistered residency, which had troubled him for so long, was solved so easily. The power of the Shinomiya Group is truly immense...

Hmm, the age setting is 20, which is good enough as it doesn't make her look too young.

If they were to find a 15 or 16-year-old and give him an enrollment certificate, he would have to confess to the world that he is an unregistered resident...

"Oh, I see."

Li Qingyang looked up at the blonde girl sitting upright opposite him, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Thank you so much. Please thank Shinomiya for me later."

Please don't say that!

Hayasaka Ai seemed to be injected with light, and almost immediately straightened her back, her sea-blue eyes sparkling, and her face beaming with a bright and sincere smile.

"It is our honor to be able to help Lord Qingyang solve his difficulties. Everything in the Shinomiya Group was created to serve Lord Qingyang today!"

That's a bit of an exaggeration...

"Then, regarding the fitness equipment Lord Qingyang wanted..." Hayasaka Ai steered the conversation back on track, pausing slightly, a hint of regret subtly appearing in her sea-blue eyes, "...due to the availability of space..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Ding-dong-"

The crisp sound of the doorbell rang out without warning, echoing in the empty living room.

The conversation abruptly stopped, and both Li Qingyang and Hayasaka Ai were taken aback.

"I'm sorry," Li Qingyang said to her, then got up and walked towards the entrance.

He opened the door.

A pretty bob-haired girl stood outside the door, holding textbooks.

She was wearing a light-colored cotton nightgown, looking like she had just taken a shower. Her signature black, smooth bob hair was still slightly damp and smelled faintly of shampoo.

"Kato? What's the matter at this hour?" Li Qingyang asked, somewhat surprised.

"Um..." Kato Megumi's gaze lingered on him for a moment, then she looked somewhat troubled and said softly, "Today's math homework was a bit difficult. There were a few questions I just couldn't figure out, so I wanted to ask you for help..."

As she spoke, her gaze inadvertently drifted downwards and landed on the floor of the entryway.

There, neatly arranged, was a pair of simple, off-white women's flats that didn't belong here.

Her gaze lingered on the shoes for half a second, as if she were momentarily stunned. Then, a strange light flashed quickly in her clear black and white eyes.

"Mr. Li...do you have any guests at home?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a slight noise came from the direction of the living room. The blonde maid happened to peek half her head out from behind the door, looking curiously into the entrance hall.

Hayasaka Ai's gaze met Kato Megumi's gaze in mid-air.

"Good evening, I'm Kato Megumi, who lives downstairs." The bob-haired girl gave a slight bow in return, introducing herself in a calm tone, then turned her gaze to Li Qingyang, "Excuse me, Mr. Li, have I disturbed you?"

"..."

A moment later, the atmosphere around the low table in the living room, which seemed out of place in the spacious room, became even more cramped.

The math textbook lay open, with complex functions and geometric figures taking up most of the page.

But Kato Megumi's attention was clearly not on it.

"I never expected Li Jun to suddenly start keeping cats and dogs."

She looked at Mica, then at Gedi, patted its head, and let out a soft sigh, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary, "I always thought cats and dogs were natural enemies and could hardly get along. Don't they... fight?"

"That's not the case..."

Li Qingyang responded, frowning, feeling a strange chill lingering around him...

hiss......

Buhao!

Could this be the aura of a battleground?!

------------

Going for a physical exam today, just one small update to guarantee perfect attendance! (Kneeling and kowtowing three times!)

Main Text: Chapter 116 Hayasaka Ai is furious! Dark energy surges into Gaia's spacetime!

Sitting opposite him was Hayasaka Ai, who was sitting upright with an impeccable posture and a sweet and lovely smile on her face. However, her gaze was like the most precise scanner, secretly scrutinizing the bob-haired girl next to her inch by inch.

The pajamas appeared to be made of pure cotton and had a simple design, but they looked exceptionally cozy and soft on her.

With a bare face, no makeup, and even her lips a natural pale pink, this in itself is a dangerous signal, representing an unpretentious intimacy.

This face... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

The blonde girl narrowed her sea-blue eyes slightly, her brain starting to work at high speed.

As Kaguya Shinomiya's close attendant, she underwent the most rigorous training, and her memory and observation skills far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Countless streams of information flashed through her mind as she filtered and compared them.

Shopping mall... CCTV footage... Zoffy Miracle Day lucky draw event...

In the blink of an eye, a scene was frozen in her memory.

It's her!

That day at the shopping mall, the girl who was walking with Lord Qingyang and even bought a chibi Zoffy keychain as a gift for him!

Alert! Level One Alert! Extremely Alert!

Hayasaka Ai's heart alarm blared.

This woman is the girl who 'dated' Lord Qingyang at the shopping mall that day!

Why would she be here in her pajamas at this time?!

Have they developed such a close relationship that they can visit each other's homes freely?

What an amazing development!

Do not!

calm down!

I am the perfect servant, Hayasaka Ai!

Losing control of one's emotions is a sign of incompetence!

The more critical the moment, the more important it is to remain absolutely calm!

A heart churning with turmoil, yet outwardly calm and composed.

Hayasaka Ai's expression remained unchanged; she even elegantly picked up her glass and took a small sip of her iced tea...

The cool liquid slid down my throat, suppressing the turbulent emotions churning within me.

She then placed the cup back on the table, making a slight noise that successfully attracted their attention.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Kato-kun."

Hayasaka Ai wore an impeccable sweet smile, her sea-blue eyes sparkling with sincerity. She nodded slightly to the bob-haired girl opposite her, her voice soft and proper, as if calculated with the utmost precision, every syllable perfectly placed.

"I am Hayasaka Ai. I came all the way from Tokyo at someone's request to handle some rather...personal matters for Lord Seiyo."

She deliberately slowed down her speech when she said the word "private," raising her voice slightly at the end to create a subtle sense of intimacy and mystery that outsiders couldn't fathom.

Excellent!

This self-introduction was textbook perfect. It clearly stated the special nature of its relationship with Li Qingyang (I was entrusted with this matter, not an uninvited stranger), subtly implied the closeness between them (I was handling 'private' affairs), and cleverly used geographical distance ('specially' coming from 'Tokyo') to create a distinction in status between itself and this "neighbor" who had such a convenient connection.

I must strike first and make it clear that I am that person's officially recognized assistant!

Li Qingyang listened from the side, his eyebrows twitching involuntarily.

Why are you being so ambiguous? Are you trying to cause trouble, little maid?

Faced with Hayasaka Ai's impeccable yet subtly witty self-introduction, Kato Megumi's expression remained unchanged, her demeanor still calm and composed.

She simply nodded slightly, her voice as calm as ever, like a mountain spring, devoid of any emotion. "Hello, Hayasaka-san. I already greeted you at the door. I'm Kato Megumi, and I'm Li-kun's..."

At this point, Kato Megumi paused for a moment, then looked at Li Qingyang with some curiosity, "Hey, Li-kun, what... what kind of relationship do we have now?"

"?"

I haven't even said a word yet, and you're already pointing a gun at me?!

What kind of deadly question is this?

Doctor-patient relationship? It seems to have ended a long time ago.

A chance encounter? That doesn't quite add up.

Rescuer and rescued? There is indeed such a link, but it sounds strange coming from one's own mouth, like self-aggrandizement.

From initially providing temporary medical care and shelter to now having neighbors who brazenly come to their door every day to freeload meals...

Li Qingyang scratched his head and thought hard, finally coming to a conclusion, "...it should be, very close friends and neighbors who help each other, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the air around him loosen a bit.

Across from her, the blonde girl's impeccable sweet smile seemed to have gained a touch of genuine joy.

The alert level has been downgraded from red to yellow.

Hayasaka Ai silently updated her status in her mind.

Hmph, she's just a girl next door with whom I'm on good terms! Nothing to worry about!

I am an officially certified logistics support staff member of Lord Qingyang, responsible for matters concerning world security!

The two are on completely different levels!
