In his memory of his previous life, Jaden had heard a saying.
It goes like this: you and your girlfriend are cuddling, making out, and sleeping together every day, but then one day, after a roll in the hay, you discover your girlfriend is married to someone in an online game, and you can't accept it.
However, if you look at the same problem with a different perspective, the feeling changes completely.
Putting it into his perspective: he meets a girlfriend online, smiles foolishly at home every day, looking at pictures or fantasizing about his girlfriend, and solving his own problems.
And at this moment-you two are sleeping together.
Thinking about it this way, doesn't the problem become entirely different?
Although this is a typical sophistry-it fits perfectly when applied to Hayasaka Ai.
"You are clearly Oko Shinomiya's person, yet you covered for Shinomiya Kaguya."
"Your mission was clearly to help Oko Shinomiya obtain information about Kaguya, but the information you provided was mostly useless. You should have also secretly handled some things when you knew about some of Oko Shinomiya's actions, then turned around and profited for Shinomiya Kaguya, right?"
As Jaden spoke, Hayasaka Ai tried to speak several times but didn't know what to say.
Because...
-Everything Jaden mentioned, she had done.
And more!
But.
Hayasaka Ai frowned.
"I..."
Jaden saw that Hayasaka Ai still wanted to say something, so he sneered.
"'I' what... you're not still planning on saying you're Oko Shinomiya's person, are you-don't bully the man, the master and the servant."
"When you were first sent over, when Shinomiya Kaguya was still young, you probably reported every detail-but you have to realize, Shinomiya Kaguya was small then, and reporting the information was useless."
"In fact, reporting things like Shinomiya Kaguya's genius might have actually increased Shinomiya Kaguya's standing among the family members."
"Oko Shinomiya planted you next to Kaguya early on, definitely not for information from her childhood-it was to have you stab her in the back at a critical moment."
"But the key is, at that critical moment, you were already Shinomiya Kaguya's person, weren't you?"
Jaden looked at Hayasaka Ai, who was already tangled up in his logic, and spread his hands.
"Think about it carefully. Your body is by Shinomiya Kaguya's side, and your heart is with Shinomiya Kaguya. For all these years, you've been covering for Shinomiya Kaguya, and you've succeeded, even creating opportunities for Kaguya where there shouldn't have been any..."
"Honestly, looking at your track record, I'd believe it if you told me Shinomiya Kaguya, when she was still young, sent you to Oko Shinomiya as a mole."
"If you brought in a professional, I don't think they could have done a better job than you in your position."
"If you're not Shinomiya Kaguya's person, then who is Shinomiya Kaguya's person?"
Hayasaka Ai was stunned.
She felt like her worldview had been shattered.
She thought Jaden was talking nonsense, yet when she bought into Jaden's nonsense... an unprecedented sense of security flooded over her.
Because of her identity, Hayasaka Ai had always been under a lot of pressure.
It was so intense that she would watch bizarre videos of hydraulic presses crushing things to relieve stress.
But...
If she embraced Jaden's words, Hayasaka Ai felt-all the pressure was gone!
I am Lady Kaguya's maid!
Jaden shook his head upon seeing Hayasaka Ai's stunned expression.
"Just think about it carefully."
Saying this, he pulled the door open a crack and slipped out.
Hayasaka Ai was still stunned inside the room.
And Jaden, after closing the door, looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, who was leaning outside and had heard everything from the beginning, her face equally complex.
"Let her cool off for a bit."
Jaden said quietly, then pulled away Shinomiya Kaguya, who also had a complicated expression.
It wasn't until they had walked far away that Jaden looked at Shinomiya Kaguya.
"You heard what I said just now... although Erina and I had meant to comfort you when we said there was no mole, that was also the truth."
Hearing Jaden say this, Shinomiya Kaguya looked at him.
Jaden continued.
"At least I don't think Hayasaka is a mole... because the look in her eyes when she looks at you can't be faked."
Shinomiya Kaguya's emotions gradually calmed down.
But honestly, she still couldn't quite accept it.
Shinomiya Kaguya absolutely couldn't accept being betrayed by others.
However...
Even without Jaden's words today, if Hayasaka had truly betrayed her... then Shinomiya Kaguya probably would have found an excuse to forgive Hayasaka Ai.
She would dismiss Hayasaka Ai, but she wouldn't blame her.
That was the importance of Hayasaka Ai in Shinomiya Kaguya's heart.
So even if she still couldn't completely let it go, she didn't say anything at the moment, just silently listened to Jaden.
She was still looking for it now.
She needed an excuse to ensure her relationship with Hayasaka wouldn't be affected!
And Jaden provided her with that excuse.
"I knew the first time I saw you and Hayasaka Ai that Hayasaka probably feels the same way about you as I do about Erina."
Jaden still remembered the protective and caring look Hayasaka Ai had for Shinomiya Kaguya when he first met them, and that couldn't be faked.
And Shinomiya Kaguya was suddenly stunned when she heard Jaden say this.
Hayasaka feels the same way about her as Jaden does about Erina...
And did Jaden also say something about the look in Hayasaka's eyes when she looks at her...
The most incomprehensible thing for Shinomiya Kaguya was that Hayasaka was clearly sent by her eldest brother to monitor her, and she had never known this, nor had she done anything special, yet she managed to turn Hayasaka into her own person...
The simultaneous appearance of these three points, combined with a nascent idea in her mind, led Shinomiya Kaguya to suddenly think of a terrifying possibility.
-Hayasaka might like her!
If that were the case, everything would make sense!
Shinomiya Kaguya could even empathize with Hayasaka's feelings.
They were the same gender, yet Hayasaka still fell for her, then didn't dare to express it, so she silently worked for her, endured the pressure, and even wanted to help her escape her misery...
Shinomiya Kaguya immediately felt that tangled and painful emotion.
Suddenly, Shinomiya Kaguya felt that she didn't blame Hayasaka that much anymore-it's just, her feelings for her... that she still couldn't accept!
Jaden wasn't sure what Shinomiya Kaguya was thinking, so he sighed at this moment.
"Shinomiya, think about how Hayasaka has treated you all these years. I don't think this issue is fundamentally that serious, but it might indeed be very serious for you... However, you probably know Hayasaka's feelings, and you don't have any ill will towards Hayasaka, right? I can even sense that you might be quite dependent on her."
It's certainly not serious for you! But it's definitely serious for me!
"So, isn't it great to have a happy ending for everyone-we've become the Kengan Association Chairman, and we've reached an agreement, so you can also try to resist your family afterward."
But Hayasaka's love... I can't accept it... at least not now!
"And also..."
Saying this, Jaden patted Shinomiya Kaguya's shoulder.
"As the future head of the Shinomiya family, you'll need subordinates like Hayasaka, won't you... But these are just my thoughts. This matter mainly depends on you, so you should also calm down a bit, just like her, and then you two can talk about this properly."
What misunderstanding do you have about Shinomiya?! Shinomiya has never had a case of turning a same-sex subordinate into a lover!
Leaving those words, Jaden felt he had said everything he needed to say, and then he left.
Shinomiya Kaguya stood there in a daze for a while, then she blinked, her face carrying an expression completely different from her usual shrewdness, even a bit silly, and smoke seemed to be coming from her head.
She was currently like a frozen computer, the same thought repeating in her mind:
Hayasaka likes me, Hayasaka likes me, Hayasaka likes me...
This matter was too stimulating for Shinomiya Kaguya.
However...
It was precisely because of this matter that Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly felt that whether Hayasaka had betrayed her or not... didn't seem so important anymore.
