A super traveler in a peaceful world

...I always feel that the impact is much smaller than expected?

What did you say? By the way, why are you pointing your phone at me? Hayasaka Ai turned his head and looked to the side, An Luo with a bad look on his face.

No...it's nothing, I just feel betrayed...

betray?

It's okay, it's my own problem...

Hayasaka Ai didn't go as crazy as expected, so An Luo, who was looking forward to being betrayed, now felt a sense of aggrievedness in his heart for no reason.

...I hope to see Hayasaka Ai in person, who has come all the way here, and realizes that he has come here in vain, so he deliberately turns around halfway to bask in the sun, and even gives Hayasaka Ai a chance to find him Revenge... caused him to run a marathon around the island, but in the end Hayasaka Ai didn't care about these things at all. This huge gap made him a little crazy.

Is this the legendary saying that good and evil will eventually be rewarded? Isn't it that the time has come to not be rewarded? An Luo suddenly doubted his life.

Hayasaka Ai didn't understand that An Luo's evil intentions failed to come true. Instead, he shot himself in the foot, so he suffered a huge blow. She just felt that it was a bit inexplicable that he suddenly became decadent and depressed, but .....It was also surprisingly relieved.

Let's treat today as a paid vacation. Hayasaka Ai, who was in a good mood because of An Luo's decadence, stood up from the ground with her hands on her knees, and immediately prepared to leave, but seeing An Luo still depressed, she couldn't bear it. He smiled and kicked him: Why are you still sitting there? Get up quickly.

...Aren't you going to go back?

I've come here so rarely and spent so much transportation money and time. Wouldn't it be a shame if I just went back without doing anything? Of course I have to do some sightseeing.

Oh, bon voyage?

What's the wind? I definitely want you to lead the way? I have to go to the hotel first, so hurry up.

As he spoke, Hayasaka waved his hand, causing sand to fly onto his body. This was obviously to emphasize where the sand on his body came from and to ask him to take responsibility.

Okay, okay, then you will be on your own after taking a shower...

——Of course you will lead the way.

There's nothing on this island, right? And I've just traveled to most places, so it's enough for sightseeing, right?

...I, really, will kill you?

Hayasaka became furious when she mentioned running away. Although her tone was calm, there was murderous intent in her blue eyes.

This made An Luo stand up knowingly and coughed awkwardly: Well, I was just joking. How could I possibly want to drive away friends who have come from afar? I must do my best to be a landlord.

...Humph, I guess you are sensible.

Saying that, Hayasaka Ai, who was full of anger because she was covered in sand, shook her hair covered in sweat and sand, and walked ahead, leaving An Luo to catch up with her and lead the way with a wry smile.

.....................

.....................

The two of them chatted on the way, and An Luo realized that Hayasaka Ai came here on the first ship in the morning. All the simple luggage had been placed in the hotel. It was just because they had gone shopping a little in the morning that it happened to be in time for them. missed.

When they returned to the hotel, they met an unexpected visitor at the door.

...I heard that you were racing with someone, so I came to see...this lady...what's going on? Bai Yu stared at the follower with subtle displeasure. Behind him, Hayasaka Ai was in an extremely embarrassed state.

Ah~ let me introduce you. Facing Hayasaka Ai's piercing gaze behind him, An Luo turned sideways and stretched out his hand to guide her: This is my friend who has a bad relationship with me in school, Hayasaka Ai, let's have a fight before we meet. It’s our routine to go for a run, but she accidentally fell on the beach.”

...You dug a hole on purpose to lure me there, right?! Hayasaka emphasized in a low tone.

No, it was Huihui who dug it and it has nothing to do with me. After all, I knew you were coming and I went to the dock to pick you up. Where would I have time to dig a hole? After hesitating to shirk the responsibility, An Luo reached out to lead him again. Bai Yu: This is Naruse Bai Yu, a friend I have known for a short time but have a long history of friendship.

Hello... Bai Yu whispered and nodded. Hayasaka waved his hand casually and showed a meaningful smile: You must be a victim too, right?

Victim?

Hey! Hayasaka! Don't ruin my reputation!

Do you have that kind of thing? Hayasaka Ai walked forward quickly, glanced at An Luo and walked directly upstairs, and warned Bai Yu without looking back: This guy is not as good as he appears. It’s simple, it’s okay if you don’t plan to see me again after the summer vacation, but if not, you’d better be mentally prepared.”

.....What's the meaning?

literal meaning.

With only these words left, Hayasaka Ai's figure covered with yellow sand disappeared into the corridor.

.....What's the meaning?

Bai Yu, who didn't get an answer from Hayasaka Ai, turned to An Luo and asked the same question.

Who knows? Anyway, I don't know at all. Maybe I went too far in teasing her recently?

...teasing?

Actually, it's just a little joke among friends. Maybe she accidentally fell into the pit and is still blaming me, right?

An Luo shrugged his shoulders and blurted it out with a smile. After all, it was impossible for him to tell the specific thing that angered Hayasaka Ai, or if he really wanted to say it, he didn't know where to start from. After all... there were so many that he didn't even know where to start.

When he followed Hayasaka upstairs and planned to find Megumin, Bai Yu hesitated repeatedly but still failed to reach out to stop him. Although she wanted to ask about Hayasaka, she could not find herself to investigate the matter. bottom position.

Even as he watched the figure go away, Bai Yu felt a stab of pain in his chest, but he still couldn't speak.

She just watched the other person leave quietly with a certain uncomfortable mood, but...just when she lowered her eyes and was about to leave, An Luo suddenly turned around, and in order to avoid any strange misunderstanding, she took a photo He patted his head and said: Although it may be fine no matter what, I still want to say that Hayasaka and I have no special relationship. If we must classify them, it should be regarded as a loss of friends, right?

bad friend.....?

As promised beforehand, it's not me who will be harmed, but Hayasaka.

Yes Yes!

Even though he knew that the second sentence was highly questionable, Bai Yu, who subconsciously widened his eyes slightly, still nodded vigorously and felt his body temperature rise slightly, and the haze in his heart miraculously disappeared.

............

In Megumin's room.

An Luo didn't say anything as soon as he entered. He directly grabbed the milk that Hui Hui had just opened but hadn't drunk yet, and drank it in one gulp to fully replenish the water he was missing.

Then he looked at Huihui, who was staring at her very unhappily, and took out ten thousand and handed it over: Don't look at me like this, it's just a glass of milk. This is your living expenses here. Let's continue with class.

Humph, for the sake of money, I won't argue with you.

Without hesitation, Huihui put aside her hatred in front of money and bought a new can of milk before starting to teach.

However, when the class lasted for about two hours, his cell phone suddenly rang. The caller was Hayasaka Ai, which made him reject the call without even thinking about it.

However, Hayasaka Ai was not someone who would give up easily. The phone rang one after another, making him want to turn it off, but... thinking about it carefully, this study was not so urgent, so he finally gave up and ignored her. With this idea in mind, he stopped the class and walked out of the room and saw Hayasaka Ai for the first time. He seemed to have searched here through the sound of the phone and was standing in front of the door staring up at him.

The girl who had spent two hours washing herself now had changed her outfit and tied up a side ponytail. In terms of style, there was no difference from her normal appearance.

Hayasaka Ai raised her head and stared at him for a while, then said coldly: I'm still thinking, if you don't come out, I'll kick the door open.

Do you have to pay for it?

It's okay. This is a business trip, and the compensation is at public expense. The Shinomiya family has plenty of money.

Tsk, evil capitalist.

Clicking his tongue and shaking his head, An Luo didn't wait for Megumin to come forward, pushed Hayasaka Ai out of the room, and closed the door to prevent Megumin from causing trouble.

After walking out of the hotel, he didn't know where to take Hayasaka Ai, so he could only walk around casually and asked casually: How was your summer vacation?

Nothing, just the same.

same as usual?

Arrange the work of the servants at the Fourth Palace Villa, and take care of Kaguya-sama's mood.

...Have you reversed your priorities?

No, Kaguya-sama is in the room all day long. He has nothing to do and is alone all day...

Although they hadn't seen each other for half the summer vacation, after just a few words of calm chatting, Hayasaka Ai was just like usual, complaining to him... or venting her pent-up emotions.

Thanks to her, even though she was not interested in these things, Anluo understood that throughout the summer vacation, Kaguya still thought too much as usual, so she did nothing. Hayasaka's daily life was no different from when she was in school.

Some insignificant little things incidentally would occasionally be revealed by her in a cold tone, to which An Luo could only nod in agreement from time to time as usual.

.....................

.....................

Unknowingly, the two of them went to the cafeteria for a late lunch together, and then walked all the way to the edge of the island...to the edge of a cliff.

At this time, the sun had set in the west, and Hayasaka Ai had almost finished what she wanted to say. When Anluo sat on the edge of the cliff, she couldn't help but ask: My affairs are almost here, what is the situation on your side? Why do you want to do this? Coming to such a remote island? Is it... because the girls on this island are of high quality?

How is it possible? I just came here because of something, but nothing worth talking about happened.

Hmm~ No? Hayasaka Ai stared at him, making a meaningful nasal noise, and raised the corners of his lips and said: Then... Naruse Hakuha just now, right? What's going on? It looks like I seem to have a good relationship with you.

It's okay. The specific situation is quite complicated, and I won't explain it.

No, explain it here! Hayasaka Ai, who was sitting next to him, put her hands on the ground and leaned her upper body. She came closer and stared at him. An Luo couldn't help but put his hands on her head and held her down. Pushed back: ...Isn't your unreasonable curiosity a bit too serious?

That's my business. Anyway, I'm very curious. Please give me the answer!

No, no, no, aren't you a little arrogant? I'm even more curious if you're curious. How long do you plan to stay at Shinomiya's house?

Change the subject?

Hayasaka Ai stared at him with a slight frown, but An Luo just stretched out his hand and pointed at the sunset, observing the sunlight through his fingers. Although he did not look at her, his tone was calmer than ever.

No, I am very serious. I am worried about your situation as a friend.

Is it a friend's position...?

Facing An Luo's rare calm tone, Hayasaka couldn't help but fell silent.

Yes, not serious but calm.

But this made Hayasaka Ai unable to judge whether he was serious, because when he sounded serious, there was a high possibility that he was lying, but a calm tone was quite rare, and even if they had a close friendship, she would not It is impossible to judge what An Luo is thinking at this time.

Being unable to see through An Luo's true intentions, thoughts and emotions was something she didn't notice on the first day, but it also made her feel sincerely unhappy.

Do you think the Shinomiya family left just because they wanted to? Especially my job. Although her tone was indifferent, she still revealed her unhappiness. An Luo suggested very calmly: You can come with me Of course, you don’t need to actually do anything when you work here. It’s good to have a name... Your mother was also looking forward to this at first, right? Use me to get rid of the Shinomiya family.

I don't want to owe you a favor, and...I haven't helped Kaguya-sama achieve his goal yet.

So what if it's done?

How is it? This...

Except for feeling satisfied and feeling that your wish has been fulfilled, it is of no use, is it? It's not that I think Baiyin Yuxing's ability is poor. His academic performance and character are indeed good, but that's just it. The value of these in adult society is not It cannot be said that there is none, but the role it can play is very limited. For Shinomiya Kaguya, apart from the so-called spiritual support, there is no other value, so you are still indispensable, even the existence of Shirogane Goyuki It will give Shinomiya Kaguya another flaw.

Before Hayasaka Ai could finish speaking, An Luo interrupted her mercilessly and continued: In addition, I know that you hacked into Kaguya Shinomiya's brother's computer and collected some information, but you understand it yourself, right? ?Things of that level cannot be used as weapons at all, nor can they be used as negotiation capital for any of you to gain freedom. In the end, it is impossible for the Shinomiya family to find valuable things from personal computers with their hacking skills. It's possible, no matter how skilled the hacker is, they won't be stupid enough to leave evidence that can kill them in the computers connected to the Internet. After all, according to the education of the Shinomiya family since childhood, everyone in the Shinomiya family has watched Like a perfect artificial 'genius'.

...Do you want to say that I am just doing useless work?

No, I just want to express that if you stay with Shinomiya Kaguya, there is actually no substantial value. Even if you are not around, trying to get them to be together can still proceed normally, so... help the four Gong Huiye's achievement of his goal is simply not an excuse to temporarily not use the money he has saved over the years to flee abroad.

Then tell me! Hayasaka Ai stood up suddenly and asked aggressively: ——What on earth am I going to do?!

No, you misunderstood. I didn't want you to do anything, I just told you the objective situation. I also just think that your continued stay at Shinomiya's house has no meaning other than suffering physical and mental torture.

...I have my own ideas, how do you understand me like this!

Isn't this simple? It's best to guess what a child like you thinks. Is it because you betrayed Kaguya that you want to atone for your sins by torturing yourself? But you want to get rid of it and don't want to continue betraying. , so you set a goal for yourself and make it a condition before you leave your job to win over them, right?

Tsk...

Hayasaka Ai, who was touched by the pain, turned her head and suppressed her displeasure without saying a word. She left him and walked in the direction from where she came.

Are you leaving now?

...I have nothing to say to you.

I'm still concerned about you, right?

unnecessary!

Well, well, don't be angry. I won't say anything. Come back. We haven't seen you for so long. Can you at least watch the sunset with me before you leave?

.............

In the end, Hayasaka Ai, who had walked halfway, walked back after hesitating for a while and sat back down.

After a long silence without saying a word, she finally couldn't hold it back and spoke again: To be honest, I still don't understand you.

What a coincidence, so do I.

...Are you pretending again? Don't you completely understand what I'm thinking?

No, I mean, I don't understand myself either.

.....joke?
