Regarding the 'request' from Shirogane Miyuki and Yu Ishigami to meet him, Daniel refused without hesitation.
Are you kidding!
These two aren't exactly beautiful girls, and one of them is quite gloomy, why meet them?
To make my own condition worse?
Regarding this news, Shirogane Miyuki and Yu Ishigami felt very regretful.
Especially Shirogane Miyuki.
He was very concerned about the male guest living in Kaguya Shinomiya's mansion.
It's just that he had been holding back from asking Kaguya Shinomiya directly for some time.
But he didn't expect that Kaguya Shinomiya wouldn't use his desire to know the truth to bait or manipulate him; instead, she deliberately avoided the topic as if she knew nothing.
As a result, he had spent this whole time living in fear.
Afraid that one day he would suddenly receive a farewell text message from Kaguya Shinomiya.
'I have decided to become engaged to the guest arranged for me by the Shinomiya Family, please don't contact me again, I'm afraid he will misunderstand.'
Fortunately, although Kaguya Shinomiya had been acting a bit strange during this period, when they were alone, she still fulfilled her duties as a girlfriend properly.
As long as one didn't talk to her about the guest at home, it was fine.
Shirogane Miyuki had tried to bring up this topic, but the next second, Kaguya Shinomiya's body would tremble uncontrollably.
But the expression on her face still maintained a smile.
And just today, Shirogane Miyuki's anxiety finally reached its limit.
Because Kaguya Shinomiya actually said to him while they were alone, 'Just bear with it a little longer, just bear with it for a while longer, and there will be nothing left to worry about.'
This didn't sound like much at first, but considering the massive Shinomiya Family behind her, Shirogane Miyuki felt chills.
What kind of feelings was Kaguya harboring when she told him this?
Shirogane Miyuki really wanted to know!
On the other side, watching Albedo gather the power of the Shinomiya Conglomerate with each passing day, Kaguya Shinomiya was so excited she didn't even want to sleep.
After all, in not too long, she would be able to live together with her dear President!
She dragged Ai Hayasaka into a pajama party.
She wanted to talk about her current feelings with her best friend!
Although this friend of hers was still single, had no one to date, hadn't even given away her first kiss, and was even trapped in this devil's den because of her concern for her... she still wanted to share this joy with the person most important to her!
What a trashy Kaguya!
"Actually, I heard that it's not just the Shinomiya Conglomerate; it seems that even within the Shinomiya Family, some people are starting to show signs of submitting to Albedo-sama." Ai Hayasaka yawned and began to change the subject. She had had enough of Kaguya rambling all night about her shameless private time with Shirogane Miyuki. "Now, even Shinomiya Oko, that bald guy, is nowhere to be found."
"Eh? Big Brother... could it be that he was taken out?" Kaguya Shinomiya tilted her head and asked Ai Hayasaka with a pure and innocent expression.
"No, it seems he took the money and ran." Ai Hayasaka shook her head and replied.
"Took the money and ran! That won't do! That money is needed to fulfill the guests' custom requests later!" Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't sit still the moment she heard the Shinomiya Conglomerate she was about to take over might shrink.
"It's fine." Ai Hayasaka smiled and looked at Kaguya Shinomiya, comforting her, "After all, we still don't know if the Shinomiya Conglomerate and the Shinomiya Family will change their surname to Daniel later."
"Even if they aren't willing to take over that broken and rotten Shinomiya Conglomerate, and are willing to return the Shinomiya Conglomerate and the Shinomiya Family to you, Kaguya-chan, then in the event that there isn't enough money to make that 'RV' they requested, Kaguya-chan, you can just sell off the fixed assets of the Shinomiya Conglomerate to make up for it."
"Anyway, as long as the President is there, whether the Shinomiya Conglomerate is still there, or whether it's complete or not, doesn't matter to you anymore."
"Rather, if the Shinomiya Conglomerate is gone, your romance with the President will be even safer, after all, no conglomerate will care about a little girl who has no more utility value."
"...Ai! What you said makes a lot of sense!" Kaguya grabbed Ai Hayasaka's shoulder, nodded with a flushed face, and agreed, "Indeed, if there is no Shinomiya Conglomerate, then I don't have to consider those messy, pointless things anymore, I can just focus on managing our life with the President!"
"Besides, I can continue to develop my hobbies!"
"Wait! Kaguya, your hobbies? What hobbies? Why don't I know about them?" Ai Hayasaka noticed the key point in an instant.
As for the Shinomiya Conglomerate... heh, she and Kaguya both didn't care for it.
If it was taken away, so be it.
After all, it's just two hundred trillion in assets from one of the four major conglomerates, how can that compare to a sweet romance.
And now, something more important had appeared for Ai Hayasaka.
She, the personal attendant who had never left Kaguya's side, actually didn't know what other hobbies she had!
In this world, what could be more important than this to her!
"Actually, I've recently taken a liking to photography." Kaguya replied somewhat shyly, "So I want to become a first-class photographer in the future."
"Then what was the catalyst for you wanting to become a photographer? What was it?" Ai Hayasaka asked, somewhat unsettled.
Someone who couldn't even work a smartphone a few months ago actually said she wanted to become a first-class photographer?
What kind of hellish joke is this!
"That was when the guests first appeared." Kaguya Shinomiya replied with an expression of nostalgia for the past, "At that time, Artoria-sama just waved her hand, and the garden that had accompanied us for many years completely changed its appearance. That was when I thought, whether it's people or scenery, it turns out they are existences that change and fade away so easily. I wanted to preserve the most beautiful moment of them in my memory forever... Later, I came into contact with a camera and learned about the great profession of a photographer."
Ai Hayasaka completely lost the highlight in her eyes.
Very well, she completely doesn't understand Kaguya's thinking now.
What kind of ghost catalyst is this!
It's even harder to laugh at than a hellish joke!
"If possible, I also hope to personally take pictures of when I'm with the President, especially wedding photos... ya! Should I hold a Western-style or a Japanese-style one? I'm so conflicted, Ai-chan, what do you think?" Kaguya Shinomiya blinked her innocent eyes at Ai Hayasaka to seek her opinion.
Why don't you just not get married? How about that?
Deep black mist surged in Ai Hayasaka's heart.
This girl, no matter which topic she shifts to, she can always shift it back to rubbing her romance in people's faces, right?
"Speaking of which, Ai-chan, what is your dream?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked, looking at Ai Hayasaka with an extremely bright smile.
"Ah, my dream? Nothing, I just want to travel all over the world." Ai Hayasaka replied with lifeless eyes.
"...Eh?" The smile on Kaguya Shinomiya's face stiffened, then disappeared.
