Chapter 88: The

[That entertainer neighbor of mine is unexpectedly talkative.]

[At night, she even brings a casserole over to my place to eat with me.]

[The way she acts, it's as if she knows there's no one at my house and she's just here to keep me company.]

[What a meddlesome neighbor.]

[The connection seems to have started from the day before yesterday when I helped her out; I really didn't know who it was at first.]

[I was writing in my diary at home, preparing to rest, when I heard a woman's scream outside.]

[After checking out of habit, I meddled and helped her out.]

[And unexpectedly, we got connected.]

[However, I do feel a bit of sympathy for this entertainer.]

[The work of an entertainer in the Island Nation is not easy, and the money they get is relatively low, especially compared to the annual income of the entertainment stars I know.]

[And there are even idol stars who work hard for the sake of their fans.]

[Bringing smiles to the fans who support them, while they themselves are on the verge of breaking down.]

[Heh~ this entertainer neighbor of mine is truly interesting.]

[So, I decided to try something.]

[Helping her deal with her negative emotions, using what I am capable of.]

[Well, the result was not surprising; it was a smooth success.]

[Only, after being filled with energy, this entertainer neighbor gave me a feeling of being unreliable again.]

[What a contradictory entertainer neighbor.]

Seeing this content, Kaguya Sigong immediately called Hayasaka over.

"Miss Kaguya."

"Hayasaka, does Amamiya-kun have an entertainer living next door?"

Ai Hayasaka recalled for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Indeed, there is."

"However, the other party has long working hours and often performs out of town, so she doesn't stay in one place all the time."

An entertainer who doesn't stay home much.

No, this entertainer is not the problem.

Kaguya Sigong remembered that the entertainer only became connected to Amamiya because of a case.

"Hayasaka, has that entertainer been linked to a case recently?"

"Indeed, there is."

Kaguya Sigong frowned slightly.

"Why didn't you tell me about this situation?"

"Miss Kaguya, didn't you say to only pay attention to Amamiya himself?"

"I..."

She hadn't expected that her own order had prevented this information from reaching her eyes.

Taking a deep breath, it was indeed an order she had issued herself.

And there was no clear evidence proving the connection between that entertainer and Amamiya, so it was normal for Hayasaka not to report on the entertainer's situation.

"Miss Kaguya, should we go investigate?"

Kaguya Sigong was silent for a while, but then shook her head slightly.

"Forget it."

"Amamiya-kun intentionally didn't write down the entertainer's name to avoid us going to her door; since Amamiya-kun decided so, we won't investigate."

"And Amamiya-kun intentionally not writing her name is probably because he doesn't want us to get involved."

"Could there be a reason that he doesn't want to use this relationship?"

Ai Hayasaka proposed a plausible idea.

"That is indeed possible, and considering Amamiya-kun's somewhat gloomy personality, perhaps the possibility is not low."

Kaguya Sigong recalled Amamiya's personality and felt that Hayasaka's guess was correct.

Amamiya was really not the type of personality that liked to show off.

His personality was a bit insecure, a bit silent; he wouldn't easily talk about his own affairs.

The biggest reason for this, perhaps, was that Amamiya truly treated them as equals in conversation.

It seemed that Amamiya would really base his actions on this and not tell them certain things.

Hmm... how should she put it?

Kaguya Sigong felt this shouldn't be considered a kind of rigidity.

From her perspective, Amamiya's personality could definitely not be considered bad; it was even incredibly good.

So good that her previous suspicions made her feel like a bad person who speculated about everyone with malice.

"Miss Kaguya, perhaps Amamiya is really not as bad as you initially thought."

Ai Hayasaka couldn't help but remind her.

"...I didn't think of his personality in a bad direction either."

Only Kaguya Sigong herself knew how guilty she felt saying that.

Do you think I don't know if you thought that way?

Ai Hayasaka couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Actually, she knew this wasn't Miss Kaguya's own problem.

After all, living in the Sigong melting pot, it was inevitable that her own mode of action would be influenced by Sigong.

If one looked at it purely from the perspective of interest, one would know that Miss Kaguya's operations were actually correct.

But the problem was that Ren Amamiya, as a variable, completely exceeded the scope of interest.

He didn't covet anything from Miss Kaguya, and even directly affected the benefits Miss Kaguya obtained.

This made Miss Kaguya unable to help but start from the perspective of interest, wanting to get greater benefits from Amamiya.

Because of this thought, Miss Kaguya couldn't help but think about how to obtain more chips.

This was a kind of currency for mutual exchange.

It was a pity that Amamiya's attitude now explained a lot.

Amamiya had never once requested that Sigong provide more help; no matter what kind of request it was, he had none.

This was perhaps where Miss Kaguya felt uncomfortable.

"Miss Kaguya, did something happen between that entertainer and Amamiya-kun?"

"Mm... it seems Amamiya-kun helped the entertainer neighbor and became connected with her."

"He himself said it was meddling."

"But that neighbor seems to have had more interactions with him."

"He even helped that entertainer neighbor solve some substantive problems."

Although she didn't know what it was, judging from the records in the diary, Kaguya Sigong could determine that the woman neighbor had more contact with Amamiya.

"For example?"

Not knowing the specific situation, Ai Hayasaka couldn't give a suitable answer.

"Solved negative emotions."

"???"

Is that a problem that can be solved?

Ai Hayasaka suddenly wanted to talk to Amamiya-kun alone; she really wanted to clear out her own negative emotions.

The pressure of being a full-time maid every day was quite high.

Fortunately, she didn't have to continue reporting Miss Kaguya's life status to Huangchengcheng Sigong, and her psychological pressure dropped by several levels.

But even so, she still needed to rely on many videos of hydraulic presses, floor cleaning, and hoof trimming to relieve stress.
