The youth story of Nohara Shinnosuke is too problematic, right?

"... Later, I will go to the eldest lady's room and report the results of today's investigation... Maybe there will be new orders for me to do after that..."

"You also have to take into account school exams... The eldest lady said it very relaxedly, but it is not easy to accurately control the scores... Even if I don't study... I can't guarantee that I can still stay at 114th place... "

"...Sometimes, I wish I could take a break..."

She was talking to herself, and the words Xiaoxin said to her appeared in her mind again.

(Hurry up and go back, Hasaka-kun. Being a maid must be hard work, right? If you don’t take a good rest, your physical strength will be too much~)

(If you can, don’t wear a mask for a long time~ Show your most natural and real side, it’s good for your body and mind~ )

"...If possible, I would also like to...be more natural...like most girls, make friends and pursue campus life..."

She soaked half of her face in the water, and the warm steam made a blush appear on her face. Only at this time, the facially paralyzed maid, who usually seemed meticulous and without desires, would rarely reveal her true thoughts. .

After taking a bath, Hayasaka Ai re-entered the state of a maid, put on her maid outfit, and walked out of the bathroom with a stern expression.

There are already two maids waiting outside.

"You... now you can take out the information that you were asked to investigate before."

"Yes…"

The two maids took out a few pieces of paper, which recorded the results of their investigation.

Hayasaka Ai took it over and flipped through it. When she saw the survey results above, her eyes couldn't help but fluctuate slightly.

"...Okay, you guys step back first, you can go to rest."

"Yes."

After Ai Hayasaka finished speaking, she took these investigation materials and walked towards Kaguya's room.

"...Captain Hayasaka...you are amazing."

"That's right, she is always meticulous and rigorous. Although she looks a little impersonal... But her ability to always be in a working state is really admirable and I can't learn~"

"Headmaster Hayasaka must be the kind of person who has no desires or desires, takes work as the biggest goal, and disdains those worldly friendships, love, and campus life~"

The two whispered and went back to their room to rest.

【...】

Ai Hayasaka heard their whispers, she came to Kaguya's room without saying anything.

Knock Knock!

"Miss, it's me."

"Hayasaka? Come in."

Kaguya's voice came from the room.

Ai Hayasaka opened the door, only to see Kaguya Shinomiya writing a test book, earnestly preparing for the first semester exam next week.

No.1 in the school row, she is bound to win.

"..." Ai Hayasaka felt a little unbalanced when she thought of running around after school, while Miss Kaguya went straight home to study.

Even though she thinks so... However, she will still try her best to fulfill Kaguya's order. The two of them are not only a master-servant relationship, but also have a friendship in it, although it seems to be separated by a layer of veil.

"Hayasaka, have you finished investigating Nohara Shinnosuke?" Kaguya put down his pen, closed the exercise booklet, and looked at Hayasaka.

"Yes, miss, according to the results of my follow-up today, I think..."

"Nohara Shinnosuke is a helpful person and very enthusiastic. He doesn't have any obvious motivation or logic in doing things. Maybe it's just because of his brain, he just wants to do it, so he does it."

"I think he is indeed a person who helps without asking for anything in return. If he really has any purpose, maybe... he just wants to make friends."

"In addition, he is surprisingly friendly to children. He is very innocent, but he is not stupid. Although he seems to do things without logic, he is surprisingly delicate in some places."

She omitted the part that Xiaoxin likes Yujie, photo albums, and study materials.

Hearing Ai Hayasaka say this, Kaguya was slightly surprised, she didn't expect Hayasaka to have such a high opinion of Shinnosuke Nohara.

"Really? Are there really good people in this world who are so simple and happy to help others?"

"It's true, Miss, at least, according to my follow-up observation today, he is not a person who does things for rewards. He has no special purpose, just because he just wants to do it, and he just does it...someone On the one hand, maybe this point is quite similar to Fujiwara-san."

"In addition, I also have some information about Nohara Shinnosuke's past..."

She took out the information given to her by the other maids just now.

"According to the data, Shinnosuke Nohara attended Futaba Kindergarten when he was a child. His father, Hiroshi Nohara, worked in Futaba Corporation. He started from the grassroots and slowly climbed up. Now he is a minister. His mother, Misae Nohara, is very ordinary. housewife, and a younger sister who is five years younger..."

Hayasaka Ai said, handing Xiaoxin's family background information to Kaguya.

"It looks...it is indeed a very ordinary common people's family..."

Ai Hayasaka continued: "In addition, according to some information, when Nohara Shinnosuke was studying in Futaba Kindergarten, he was a classmate with the eldest lady of Otome's family. The relationship between the two should be good, because there are records that show that Otome's Shinnosuke Nohara has been invited to many banquets, concerts, and presentations..."

[Not only is it good, the two of them are basically in love with each other...at least that will be the case in the future...]

Shinomiya Kaguya, who had already heard about the relationship between Xiaoxin and Xiaoai from Mirai Kaguya, was not very surprised by the appearance of Ootome's family.

But she still has to pretend on the surface.

"I didn't expect... did he actually have friendship with Otome's family... Sure enough, my guess was confirmed. He helped people for a purpose. Maybe he wanted to owe favors or cling to some kind of relationship..."

"I don't think so, miss." Ai Hayasaka read out the rest of the information lightly: "According to the investigation, Shinnosuke Nohara hardly obtained any benefits from Ai Otome. The house of the Nohara family was bought with a loan. Yes, there are still 22 years of housing loans that have not been repaid, and there was an explosion in the middle, including various expenses for reconstruction, which were paid by the Nohara family themselves, and never relied on the Otome family."

"In addition...According to the data, Nohara Shinnosuke seems to have been helping others and saving the world since he was a child. When he was young, he organized a small organization called the Kasukabe Defense Team, and he often helped people in difficulties..."

Hayasaka Ai also handed this information to Shinomiya Kaguya.

"One more thing... If the information we investigated is true, Miss Kaguya... You should have met Nohara Shinnosuke when you were young, theoretically."

Chapter 142: Disturbed Shinomiya Kaguya

"Did I meet Shinnosuke Nohara when I was a child?"

Kaguya frowned, when did this happen? Why can't I remember it?

"Yes, according to the investigation report, when you were five years old, Miss, you were taken to a banquet held by Otome's house. We checked the records of that banquet, and there was Shinnosuke Nohara in attendance. I attended as a friend of Ms. Otome, so in theory, you have met before."

"Of course, I don't know the details. That happened before I came to you, Miss."

Hearing what Hayasaka said, Shinomiya Kaguya sneered: "Who would remember what happened when I was a child, let alone five years old, I don't even have any memories of elementary school..."

"Besides, it was just at the same banquet. Maybe we didn't meet at all?"

She didn't take this matter seriously, and looked through the materials Hayasaka handed her again, and read it again by herself.

This feeling is very subtle, because I learned from Future Kaguya that I will be with Nohara Shinnosuke in the future... This makes Shinomiya Kaguya's attitude towards Xiaoxin very complicated.

Even though the information said that Nohara Shinnosuke was such a helpful person and a person who really enjoyed making friends, she always wanted to find some faults between the lines.

【In the future... Is it... really going to be with this guy...】

Looking at Shinomiya Kaguya who was constantly flipping through the information, Hayasaka Ai asked: "So, Miss...do you want to continue the investigation?"

"...What do you think about this matter, Hayasaka?"

"I think... I think Miss, you can try to be friends with Shinnosuke Nohara."

"... "

Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lip lightly, her eyes swept over the document, turning left and right.

In the end, she let out a breath and put the information aside.

"Okay, since Hayasaka said so, then... I'll give Nohara Shinnosuke a chance. If he still comes to me and begs me to be his friend, I'm not... I can't give it to him. A chance...to put him on probation."

"Probation?"

"Yeah, have you forgotten Hayasaka, everyone who wants to be my friend needs to accept my little test."

She smiled lightly: "I don't know, Shinnosuke Nohara...can you pass?"

"what…"

Kaguya's so-called experiment is that she will pretend to be friends with this person, and then deliberately tell him some gossip that must never be shared, so as to test whether the other party is a trustworthy person. I have been inquiring about this news with the other party, usually Hayasaka is in charge.

If in the end, the gossip is still leaked, it means that this person has told the secret and is not trustworthy, and Kaguya will immediately break off relations with him.

"Is that so...I see. Then, miss, what kind of gossip do you want to use this time to test Nohara Shinnosuke?"

"Let's talk about this later. Now we are preparing for next week's semester test. As for the content of the test... I will think about it later, and I won't necessarily use gossip to test it."

She said calmly, and then reopened the exercise book.

"I see, then, I won't bother Missy anymore." Ai Hayasaka bowed slightly.

"Well, I've worked hard for you today, I don't need to follow Shinnosuke Nohara anymore, I have my own arrangements."

She also knows how to say thank you.

Ai Hayasaka quietly exited Kaguya's room and closed the door.

Fortunately, Shinomiya Kaguya did not assign her any other time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks.

Then she can go back to her room, watch her favorite decompression video of crushing things with a press, and drift off to sleep.

【Missy said... She wants to test Nohara Shinnosuke in her own way... What exactly is it?】

【...Well, but, if it is still the gossip trust test like before, he should be able to pass it...】

Although Hayasaka Ai exited the room, it was difficult for Shinomiya Kaguya to focus on the book again.

She scribbled and scribbled on the test book, and her mind was very confused.

"...Ah~! Really..."

She rubbed her long, beautiful black hair and lay half-ly on the desk. Her hair was hanging down, some falling on her arms or sticking to her red lips. She looked at the air with her red eyes, and there were thousands of thoughts in her mind. .

The slippers were kicked off with both feet, showing perfect arches, and the white and slender jade feet overlapped and swayed slightly, like flying butterflies.

These actions prove that she is far less calm than she appears.

"Nohara Shinnosuke...what exactly do you want me to do?"

Future Kaguya's words lingered in her heart like a spell.

...

In this way, amidst the hard work of the students, this week of preparation for the exam will soon pass...

In the past few days, Xiaoxin has been serious. He spends most of his weekends doing exercises at home. On weekdays, when he comes home from school, he almost bans animation and games. He often goes upstairs to his room to study after eating.

"Wow~ Brother, you are suddenly so serious, a bit unlike you." Xiaokui joked at the dinner table.

Mei Xie said to Xiaokui: "Stop praising your brother, Xiaokui, you have to take the exam too? Hurry up and go back to your room to study. If you are the last one in the class, I will take the exam." Throw away all your shoujo manga~"

"Really? Mom, you said this~!!" Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xiao Kui not only did not feel a sense of crisis, but instead looked happy.

"Hee hee~ As long as you don't take the last place in the exam, it's fine? That's too easy~ With Daxiong behind you, it's even harder to get a lower rank than him in the exam. It's harder than No.1."

She is full of confidence.

Then, it’s next Thursday, the day of the exam.

In the classroom, the students were chattering, some were cheering each other on, and some were lying to each other.

“What should I do~ I didn’t even read this time~ (I was actually doing crazy homework at home)”

"Me too, I think I'm going to fail the first semester test (actually, I've been studying for a few days, full of confidence)"

"I didn't study either. It's okay. I didn't study at all this time either. I'll fail the exam together. (I was fooled by two bad friends. I really played games at home and didn't study anything.)"

At the front of the classroom, the current charging group got together to support and encourage each other at the end.

"Everyone, relax and don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. Just give full play to the results of your hard work this week~" Yeshan smiled.

Tobe lay on the table: "Ah~ It's so annoying. I just want to finish the exam as soon as possible and pass. Nothing else matters. My mother has prohibited me from playing ball this week. I'm bored to death at home."

He really didn't read it.

"What...what to do..." Yui flipped through the textbook frantically, wanting to hug Buddha's feet one last time before the exam, while Ji Cai encouraged her by the side.

Although Yumiko seemed to maintain the calmness of a queen, she was actually very unsure in her heart.
