"Yu, senpai! What happened to you, who did this!"
"In short, it seems I missed out on some things last night, and then my dignity was taken as compensation..."
Shuchi'in Academy Student Council room, listening to Shirogane's trembling voice, mixed with surprise and amusement, a huge hash mark appeared on Miyazawa Yu's forehead.
To be honest, he wasn't sure what exactly happened last night, he just blacked out and then felt like he was lying on a soft pillow, sleeping extremely peacefully.
It wasn't until he woke up and washed up this morning that he was told he had used Azusa-senpai as a body pillow and slept with her all night.
The kind where even Ryujiro Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita, having activated their Giant Form, couldn't pull him away even when they worked together!
In short, the current pigtail state was a punishment proposed by Azusa-senpai, jointly passed by the House of Representatives, and definitively approved by Chief Justice Nanaka.
"Puff puff—"
"If you want to laugh, you can just laugh out loud, there's no need to hide it..."
"I'm sorry, Yu-senpai, this is truly..."
Pfft, he couldn't hold it in completely, the handsome and spirited senpai with a head full of pigtails always reminded Miyuki Shirogane of the former Student Council President and Vice President.
If it were a cold-faced senpai who usually doesn't have a highlight moment being styled like this, he would probably risk his life to take a picture and set it as his screen saver, to comfort his spirit after studying all night!
"You guy, you look really ugly when you smile..."
His eyes turned into half-moon eyes, Miyazawa Yu naturally knew that he was a figure of fun right now, but what right did Miyuki Shirogane, with his scary triangular eyes, have to mock him!
They are both six of one and half a dozen of the other, there's no need for mutual harm!
"Well~ anyway, you said you wanted to observe my daily life, there are many places in Shuchi'in Academy that you can't go even with a pass, right? What should we do?"
"It's simple! It'll be fine as long as no one knows I've been there!"
"Is it really okay to openly violate school rules in front of the Student Council President?"
"Relax, relax, as a private tutor, this is just part of the job!"
Spreading his hands to blame Miyuki for making a fuss, Miyazawa Yu pa-ji slammed a copy of The Daily Life of a Butler and a Young Lady onto the desk, looking smug.
"I have studied seriously! As long as I stay in the trees and observe in secret, it's absolutely Daijobu (alright)!"
"Ha! What are you talking about, this is completely outside the scope of a private tutor, isn't it!"
With a face that said What nonsense are you talking about, Miyuki Shirogane slammed the table and stood up, he could not accept being looked down upon because of something so counter-intuitive!
Hiding in a tree and spying on an employer, that's already stalker behavior, completely unrelated to being a private tutor!
And what the heck is this book, why would Yu, a grown man, carry this kind of sweet romance manga, aahhh!
"Hmm? Isn't that how it is... I feel like many of the techniques in this book are quite realistic!"
"Completely wrong! Would a normal butler carry a young lady to school in a princess carry!"
Flipping through the manga and shaking it wildly in front of Miyazawa Yu, Miyuki Shirogane attempted to awaken the reason of the person in front of him, a manga is just a manga, don't take it seriously!
In response, Miyazawa Yu expressed helplessness.
After all, the manga belonged to Aina, and some plot points were indeed a bit dramatic, but many of the stalking methods were worth learning from.
One must view things dialectically, one cannot ignore the author's creative ideas within it just because it's a sweet romance novel!
"In short! You just live your own day, and this one will be watching the young lord in the dark! Kano!"
"Is some ninja novel plot mixed in there, is this really okay?"
Watching Miyazawa Yu smile confidently and then jump directly out the window behind the desk, Miyuki Shirogane rushed up and poked his head out to check downstairs.
However, he saw nothing, that guy Yu seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"President, here is today's report, I'm heading back now..."
"Ah! Ishigami! What are you doing here!"
"Actually, I was here from the start, just hiding from people."
Crawling out from the space under the desk, Yu Ishigami held his computer, his pupils wide with shock—
When that strange senpai jumped down just now, he seemed to have looked back at him and made a see you next time gesture with his fingers!
Scary! Too scary, if he, hiding in the dark and eavesdropping on their conversation, was discovered, according to the manga, he would be 'cleaned up', right!
The student council was already dangerous enough with Kaguya Shinomiya, the serial killer, and now a psycho has been added...
"Sorry, President, I want to die a little, can I take these two days off?"
"Ah? Ah, please do..."
"First, buy accident insurance, I wonder what standards they'll use to compensate for a ninja assassination..."
Pushing the door open half-dead with his head down, Yu Ishigami's gloomy voice echoed in the long corridor, sounding particularly terrifying.
On the other side, having successfully hung himself under the eaves using his physical fitness, Miyazawa Yu listened with great interest to the goings-on in the student council before moving to an adjacent tree.
"Ahhh~ It's a good thing Shuchi'in Academy is wealthy, there are ancient, lush trees everywhere, it's naturally perfect for concealment!"
Patting the tree trunk next to him, he spoke with deep emotion.
Miyazawa Yu had actually wanted to try something like this for a long time, as it was a pity to let his muscles go unused, but he had never found a suitable opportunity.
Except...
"???"
Looking at the unfamiliar short-haired woman who had chosen the same tree branch as him to peek, Miyazawa Yu and she made eye contact, and the situation instantly became very awkward.
"Uh, who are you..."
"Hayasaka! Shinomiya family bodyguard. Hello, Young Master Miyazawa."
"Wha! A personal bodyguard who hides in trees really exists! Just call me Yu."
Stunned, Miyazawa Yu, having done his homework, naturally knew who the Shinomiya family was, so he didn't say anything stupid like What is the Shinomiya family.
But families with a legacy are different, these people should be called Dead Waiters (elite assassins/servants) in Japan, right.
"Um, Hayasaka, right? Why aren't you following your young lady, what are you doing here with the President?"
"..."
Ai Hayasaka looked at the strange person in front of her who immediately accepted her presence, and she rarely found herself in the double torment of awkwardness and silence.
After all, being forcibly ordered by the Young Lady to record the daily life of her beloved, if she told anyone, both Kaguya and herself would be utterly mortified!
"It's... to test President Shirogane's character, that's right!"
"aahh! Then I understand, so Miss Hayasaka is Russian?"
"That's right? Why do you ask?"
"Isn't that obvious!"
Proud of his people-reading skills, Miyazawa Yu, seeing that the other party had no ill will, sat directly on the tree branch and explained smugly.
"After all, there are only three types of Russian images: either a cold face, or a face like frost, or a hot-blooded idiot shouting patriotic slogans!"
"What a strong stereotype..."
She felt like a strange prejudice was being shoved into her brain! Ai Hayasaka shook her head and maintained a cold expression to make herself better fit the stereotype.
"Are you going to look for Young Lady Kaguya?"
"Don't worry, although I often drink in the nude, I haven't stooped to the level of stalking a young girl!"
With a light laugh, even if it was to help an acquaintance, Miyazawa Yu felt he hadn't fallen to the point of tracking a beautiful girl without reason.
Moreover, Kaguya Shinomiya was not his type at all. If the former were seven or eight years older, he might consider it!
But right now, he only wants to do one thing, and that is to quickly make these two awkward people get married!
They clearly like each other but refuse to say it, this ridiculous setting that could clearly span many episodes is too grating on the nerves, he absolutely won't allow it!
"..."
Is stalking a beautiful girl more perverted than drinking in the nude, I've truly learned something... NOT! Is this guy really the Young Master of the Miyazawa family?
Her ice-cold gaze was almost melting from the ridiculousness, Ai Hayasaka painstakingly and reluctantly classified the guy in front of her as a good person.
However, since the other party's goal is to bring the President and Young Lady Kaguya together.
Then she! Ai Hayasaka, who has had enough of being caught in the middle between the two of them! Must help out!
"Miyazawa... Yu-san wants to bring the President and Young Lady together?"
"That's right! They like each other! Even a Russian, who's like Siberian permafrost, can tell!"
"I said it's a stereotype..."
Another strange analogy has been added! She felt that if she stayed with the person in front of her any longer, her common sense would be twisted into a pretzel.
Ai Hayasaka quickly interrupted Miyazawa Yu, who still wanted to say something, and suggested: "Actually, I have some information here... You do this, then this! And then it will work!"
"Hiss... so many things have happened, Miss Hayasaka has suffered too!"
Watching the repeated crimes of getting but not taking committed by Miyuki and Kaguya, Miyazawa Yu's pupils instantly widened in shock, he truly didn't know how Miss Hayasaka managed to endure it!
"..."
Rarely, she felt a burning sense of affirmation from a stranger, Ai Hayasaka was mentally exhausted, but Ai Hayasaka didn't say it!
