22. Kaguya Shinomiya who was declared war
When the breakfast bell rang, Kaguya Shinomiya was listening to baroque classical music while spreading out the morning newspaper on the table.
In the newspapers, headlines such as the rise in the yen exchange rate, typhoon warnings, and police officers committing crimes have caught her eye.
Among them, there are two news stories that deserve her attention, one of which is that Hanzawa Amaki successfully achieved the fourth dan of shogi, becoming the first player in Japanese history to play both professional Go and professional shogi! And only 15 years old!
This incident happened yesterday, and for a while the daimyo of Tianshu became the focus of attention of the entire Japanese media!
And because of the rescue incident made by Naoki Banzawa the day before yesterday!
The Japanese media is also praising Akimoto's two sons now!
In addition to the news of her brother Amaki Shogi's success, she is most concerned about the follow-up of Hanzawa's rescue incident.
In the space of two days, Kaguya had gathered quite a bit of information that she couldn't believe.
In addition to the concern of many people for Hanzawa Naoki's heroic rescue, she also learned that Hanzawa is likely to have been deliberately hiding the news.
This conclusion stems from the variety of talents that Hanzawa showed during the recording of the variety show "Let's Dance, Your Highness the Ass".
Ai Hayasaka reported to her that in that episode, Hanzawa not only showed amazing eloquence, but also made achievements in painting and ventriloquism.
Especially the painting skills, the sketches of Yui Aragaki and Mai Sakurajima are currently on the official website by the program team as a preview of next week's program.
Is it Hanzawa who is a painting scumbag who can draw?
As a childhood sweetheart, Kaguya feels like scratching his head and can't believe it's the truth.
Can Hanzawa draw? Who is that teacher!
No one taught her!
I asked myself, Kaguya, who had monitored Hanzawa for a whole year, but I didn't know the slightest news from Ai Hayasaka that someone was guiding Hanzawa!
Kaguya, who was entrusted to Mrs. Akimoto, felt that this was his own dereliction of duty! For this reason, she plans to have a good talk with Hanzawa when she arrives at school today.
At the very least, we must know who is guiding Hanzawa so that he can properly protect him in the future.
It was nearly seven o'clock, and because she heard the breakfast bell, Kaguya planned to change into her school uniform and go downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning, Miss."
There was a knock on the door of the boudoir, and a cordial greeting appeared outside the door.
The voice is very good, but it is different from Ai Hayasaka's respectfulness, which is slightly playful.
This is the voice of another young maid in the house - Mei Honma (face code); The latter is a smaller girl with fair skin and long straight white hair.
She is a year younger than the fourth house, and was adopted by the old housekeeper of the fourth house for some reason seven years ago, and then began to work as a maid in the fourth house.
Three years ago, with the death of the old housekeeper, Kaguya asked for the noodles from the master's house and became her exclusive servant.
It's different from Hayasaka Ai's all-round.,Because of lack of academic ability, I wasn't admitted to Xiuzhiyuan Academy.,Currently studying at another aristocratic school, Yingde Academy.。
Simple, natural, is Kaguya's evaluation of it!
"Miss, can I come in?"
"Yes."
"Miss, breakfast is ready. You can go down and eat. ”
"Got it. What about Hayasaka? ”
Kaguya nodded, and at the same time looked out the door with a little curiosity, under normal circumstances, it was Hayasaka who came to call her to eat.
"Hayasaka-san is on the phone to deal with several properties in Hokkaido. It seems that the family bought it half a year ago, the former residence of Mrs. Akimoto. The face replied respectfully.
"What about that property? What does it mean someone wants to buy? ”
Kaguya's good-looking brows couldn't help frowning, that property was deducted to the state by the Yidu Foundation after the death of Mrs. Akimoto a year ago due to insufficient cash to pay a huge inheritance tax.
It's worth about 60 million yen.,Because when I was a child, I would spend the summer with the Hanzawa brothers every summer vacation.。 So on New Year's Day this year, she specially asked her father to buy those properties - so that she would go to commemorate them every summer vacation in the future.
"No, the call was from Young Master Hanzawa Naoki from home. He was checking that the property was yours, and asked Hayasaka-sama what other properties Mrs. Akimoto had in Hokkaido. ”
What did he ask for? Also took the initiative to find Hayasaka? ”
Kaguya didn't say it, but he was even more suspicious in his heart.
I went downstairs with the face code, and Hayasaka, who was talking to Hanzawa, was just late.
"What's going on, Hayasaka."
Seeing Hayasaka's love enter the house with a lot of concern, Kaguya hurriedly wiped the breadcrumbs from his mouth with a napkin and asked worriedly.
Ai Hayasaka shook her head, her face a little ugly: "Miss, why don't you let the idlers retreat first." Something to say...... It's hard to say it in front of others. ”
With that, Hayasaka looked at the other helpers in the restaurant.
Hayasaka knows very well that there are many other Shinomiya family eyeliners in this family besides herself, and it is really sensational to refer to what she is going to say next, and the fewer people who know, the better.
Kaguya put down the napkin, and her expression became more and more solemn - Ai Hayasaka would choose to support others, which in itself was quite a serious matter.
"Am I stepping down too?" The face of the person who was waiting for dinner on the left side of Kaguya had a twinkle in his eyes and asked obediently.
"Go down too."
Kaguya hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and commanded.
The face code is too simple, and it is easy to be tricked, so some things are better not to tell the face code!
After a few moments, only Kaguya and Hayasaka were left in the restaurant.
The room was silent, and there was silence for a while.
Ai Hayasaka breaks the silence.
She swallowed and spat, and said, "Miss, my identity has been exposed." Young Master Hanze knows my identity at school, and he is ordering me to do something! ”
"Know your identity? How do you know. ”
Kaguya was stunned, Hayasaka's identity was now a secret to the entire Hidechiin.
Under normal circumstances, Hanzawa should only know Hayasaka when he was at home, just a simple maid identity.
Hayasaka shook his head: "As far as I know, Young Master Hanzawa called the old man's butler early in the morning and learned that several villas in his mother's life were in your name. Not only that, but he asked me to answer the phone to verify the situation, and at the same time, he asked me to find out where his mother belonged to all the properties in Hokkaido before her death. ”
"You were looking for you directly?"
Kaguya began to really realize the seriousness of the matter - Hanzawa went directly to Hayasaka, which in itself was enough to show that the former was familiar with Hayasaka.
If you are familiar with Hayakasaka, it is not the same as being familiar with her.
"How does he know who you are?"
Ai Hayasaka shook her head: "I asked, but he didn't say." And he clearly stated my name at school, I was good at computers, and even knew my mother's name and all my preferences. He even knows that you're going to be coquettish when you're sick...... miss...... Young Master Banze...... Let me also inform you in particular. ”
At the end, Hayasaka's voice trembled a little.
How much she looked down on Hanzawa before, how much did Hayakasaka admire Hanzawa's performance in the morning now!
Ai Hayasaka always thought that Naoki Hanzawa was under the surveillance of her and Miss, but the phone call just now undoubtedly overturned all her impressions of Hanzawa.
"What!"
Kaguya couldn't calm down any longer, and she stood up on the spot, her pretty face showing a panic that was visible to the naked eye.
The fact that she will be coquettish when she is sick is the ultimate secret, how did Hanzawa Naoki know! Could it be that Hanzawa also planted eyeliner next to her!
"What does he want you to tell me!?"
He said that if I came to his house today, I could call you and let you testify. She also asked me to help him find out who had gone to all the properties in the northern region that had been taken over by the government after her mother's death last year. Give it to him together in the afternoon. Let me also tell you that it's better not to make a lot of noise at school. Otherwise, ......"
"Otherwise, what more?"
"He said he'd tell everyone about being a computer idiot."
“!!!!”
Kaguya couldn't answer, so she closed her eyes, and in front of her was her classmates laughing at her for not being able to use a computer! Mock her picture!
"Do as he says, and I'll meet him with you in the afternoon."
Kaguya stood up, a touch of generosity and determination on his face!
What is more terrible than ridicule is not daring to face it. In the face of challenges, she Shinomiya Kaguya is still afraid of Naoki Hanzawa!?
I'm the one who has been his mother for the past year, and she can still defy the sky!
