Chapter 142

Kaguya Shinomiya was resting quietly in the room after dinner.

Next, she didn't have any extra courses to learn; now is her rare free time.

Even if she got rid of the shackles of the Shinomiya family, the things she learned in the past were still continuing to be learned.

But the meaning is different; this time it is Kaguya Shinomiya who feels it is necessary to enrich herself before learning.

And the intensity of learning is no longer the same as in the past, arranging time very tightly.

Now Kaguya Shinomiya has a very large amount of free time.

Besides, she now, in addition to some things she wants to learn, also needs to learn to exercise her control over power.

She won't have the situation of putting the cart before the horse now.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Suddenly, the sound of vibration appeared in the quiet room.

Kaguya Shinomiya frowned, broke away from sitting still, walked to the bedside, and picked up the phone.

Seeing the caller’s name displayed on the phone made her body pause, and she even tidied up her image slightly before answering the phone.

"Ren Amamiya."

Proper voice, making her voice more in line with the image of a young lady.

"Kaguya Shinomiya, do you have time now? I have something that needs your help."

This made Kaguya Shinomiya, who heard this, slightly surprised, but quickly made adjustments.

"Of course I have time."

"It’s not night yet, and I’m also resting after dinner now."

The implication is that her free time is very long.

"The thing is like this."

"My neighbor, a female celebrity, encountered some unpleasant things. After I communicated with her, I felt that she could stand independently to create a personal studio."

"It’s just that I’m worried that she will be treated unfairly by the agency, so I want to ask you for help."

Neighbor next door?

Kaguya Shinomiya’s mind immediately thought of the popular female celebrity with tea-colored hair in the data, her brows frowned, and an uncomfortable emotion grew from her heart.

But she didn't have any performance.

"Of course no problem."

"Ren Amamiya, please give me some time to investigate, and I will contact you in fifteen minutes."

"Trouble you, Kaguya Shinomiya."

The phone hung up.

But the content of the chat just now made Kaguya Shinomiya’s heart have a trace of ripples.

"Hoo..."

Slowly exhaling a breath, the emotion on Kaguya Shinomiya’s face became more obvious.

"The first time you called me was to help other people of the opposite sex?"

"And helping the female neighbor next door."

To be honest, Kaguya Shinomiya really didn't want to help, but this was ultimately Ren Amamiya’s request.

No way, Kaguya Shinomiya could only call her maid.

She didn't have experience in this aspect and could only look forward to Hayasaka giving her some suggestions.

"Hayasaka!!!"

Within three seconds, a door opened in front of Kaguya Shinomiya, and inside was Hayasaka Ai who had just changed into pajamas.

"Hayasaka, come over and help me quickly."

The moment she saw Hayasaka Ai, Kaguya Shinomiya had lost her usual composure and walked over to pull Hayasaka Ai who was still in the alternate dimension out.

"???"

Hayasaka Ai, who was being pulled, tilted her head slightly; she didn't quite understand what happened to Miss Kaguya.

"It’s like this, Ren Amamiya just called me."

Just this sentence instantly made Hayasaka Ai interested.

Actually, she had already felt before that some changes had appeared on Miss Kaguya.

That is a very subtle change, something that did not exist on Miss Kaguya, who was cold to the point of rationality.

Hayasaka Ai realized this and immediately understood who had changed Miss Kaguya.

Ren Amamiya.

Like a light in the darkness, sending the opportunity of freedom to Miss Kaguya.

And it was the moment she got freedom, and even was arrogant in front of Kō Shinomiya, that Hayasaka Ai understood that Miss Kaguya was completely released.

And it was after getting freedom that Miss Kaguya’s style of doing things began to change.

Especially when facing Ren Amamiya.

The cause of this change should be quite a lot.

But Hayasaka Ai felt that the biggest possibility should be gratitude.

Because of getting the opportunity to master her own destiny, she had a feeling of gratitude.

Also because of this feeling of gratitude, she began to care about Ren Amamiya more than in the past.

And it was because of this care that Miss Kaguya had some changes.

Now this change has become obvious, especially now.

Hayasaka Ai felt the inexplicable irritability of Miss Kaguya while listening to her say these words...

This made her have a strong interest.

"Ren Amamiya said on the phone just now that he hoped I could help his female neighbor."

"Miss Kaguya, may I ask what the reason is?"

"...It seems that his female neighbor encountered some things."

"Ren Amamiya suggested his female neighbor stand independently, he worried about the agency’s bias toward that female neighbor, and hoped for my help."

The matter is clear, Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly.

But looking at Miss Kaguya’s slightly dissatisfied face, she roughly understood what was going on.

"Miss Kaguya, you don't want to help?"

"Of course I want to help!"

Regarding this, Kaguya Shinomiya did not have any hesitation.

As Ren Amamiya’s first contact with her, she absolutely could not fail to help with such a simple thing.

"Since you think so, why are you so irritable now?"

"I..."

Kaguya Shinomiya was choked and couldn't speak for a while.

She tried for a long time, her face was flushed, but she still couldn't say that sentence.

Hayasaka Ai shook her head slightly, then continued Miss Kaguya’s topic.

"Are you uncomfortable because Ren Amamiya contacted you for the first time because of other people of the opposite sex?"

"!?"

Kaguya Shinomiya stared at Hayasaka Ai with wide eyes, her whole face written with the words "how do you know".

Hayasaka Ai didn't make any explanation, but prepared to reason with Miss Kaguya.

"Miss Kaguya, Ren Amamiya actually has a better relationship with Miss Mouri and Miss Suzuki, you should know, right?"

Kaguya Shinomiya stiffened all over.

She naturally knew this point.

Before the weekend trip started, Ren Amamiya’s address to Mouri and Suzuki was still surnames, but at the end, the address had changed.

No longer Mouri and Suzuki, but Ran and Sonoko.

Even those two’s address to Ren Amamiya changed from Amamiya to Ren-Ren.

What this means, Kaguya Shinomiya knows better than anyone else.

"So, do you hope to take this opportunity to get closer to Ren Amamiya?"

At this moment, Hayasaka Ai’s voice was like the whisper of a devil tempting humans.
