ocean-life Chapter 67 Now You Are My Maid
Chapter 67 Now You Are My Maid
"Good morning, Young Master Ling. Breakfast is ready!"
Hayasaka Ai appeared in the guest room just as dawn broke. Uchiha Ryo sat up from the bed and immediately saw Hayasaka Ai standing to the side.
"Young Master Ling, let me help you change your clothes."
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Hmm... Hey, hey, you're changing, so don't touch me like that!"
Hayasaka Ai: "Because I'm now the energetic and glamorous Hayasaka~ Young Master Ling, do you work out regularly? Your figure is already comparable to those models."
"I guess so. Even if you're a hot maid, show me some respect, or I'll use you as a sparring partner for my abs."
"???"
Hayasaka Ai stopped talking and silently followed Uchiha Ryo to the washroom area.
"Young Master Ling, breakfast will be ready soon. Would you like to eat first, or take a shower first?"
Uchiha Ryo. "Okay, let's go eat then."
In Kaguya Shinomiya's private dining hall, as Ryo Uchiha took his seat at the head of the table, Ai Hayasaka dared not say anything.
However, the next moment, as Kaguya Shinomiya pushed open the door, she saw Ryo Uchiha, who looked like the master of the house.
"You're here, Shinomiya. Please make yourself at home."
Kaguya Shinomiya blinked. This seems to be her house? And isn't Uchiha Ryo sitting in my usual spot?
Shinomiya Kaguya: "Haasaka!"
Uchiha Ryo tapped the table. "Shinomiya-kun, Hayasaka is my personal maid today. If you need to give orders, please find someone else."
Hayasaka Ai smiled. "Yes...that's right, Kaguya-sama."
Kaguya Shinomiya dared not speak out against her anger, for Hayasaka had indeed agreed to become Uchiha Rin's maid today, and she had no right to give orders.
"Well... let's eat then."
Kaguya Shinomiya sat down opposite Ryo Uchiha, sulking, and waited for the servants to bring the food.
Although it's a breakfast for top-tier conglomerates, Kaguya Shinomiya clearly prefers simplicity and wouldn't eat anything fancy like meat or fish so early in the morning.
"Young Master Ling, Miss Kaguya, all the dishes have been served, so I shall take my leave."
Hayasaka Ai bowed slightly, then prepared to leave.
Uchiha Ryo: "You, stay and eat with us."
Hayasaka Ai paused in her steps. "I'm sorry, Young Master Ling, but the rule of the Shinomiya family is that the master cannot dine with the servants. I will take care of it in the staff break area."
"Why so many rules? You're my maid now, not the Shinomiya family's maid. I told you to come and eat with me, so eat with me!"
Hayasaka Ai hesitated for a moment, glanced at Kaguya Shinomiya, and seeing that Kaguya didn't react, she had no choice but to walk over and sit down next to Ryo Uchiha.
......
Uchiha Ryo: "As expected of the Shinomiya family's breakfast, it's quite exquisite, Hayasaka."
Hayasaka Ai: "Yes. Come on~"
Kaguya Shinomiya ate her meal silently, somewhat bewildered. What kind of maid was this? And what about Ryo Uchiha? He wasn't a child anymore, so why did he need a maid to feed him?
"Oh, this is good too, Hayasaka, you should try it."
Kaguya Shinomiya quickened her eating pace; she needed to leave as soon as possible. Damn Hayasaka! Just you wait until I've conquered Uchiha Ryo!
After she wins over Uchiha Ryo, she'll flaunt her relationship with Hayasaka Ai every day, making you experience that awkward feeling too.
"Hmph..."
Kaguya Shinomiya, lost in her own imagination, couldn't help but laugh.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Rin had long since ignored Kaguya, who was sitting opposite him grinning foolishly, and was leisurely waiting for Hayasaka Ai to serve him a steaming bowl of rice.
It has to be said that Hayasaka Ai's housekeeping skills are exceptionally high, which is not something a girl who has just entered high school could possess. As expected of a maid with professional skills, she is really capable!
Unfortunately, Uchiha Ryo only has one day. If he could take Hayasaka Ai with him, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wants, like a maid when he has something to do and nothing else...?
After finishing breakfast, Uchiha Ryo went to the Shinomiya family's yard. "Hayasaka, what will you all be doing next?"
Hayasaka Ai: "Well, according to Kaguya-sama's schedule, even on weekends, she only has free time on Sundays. This morning she seems to be practicing Aikido, and this afternoon she has a French class."
Uchiha Ryo: "That must have been tough, but I can't just give up! Hayasaka, let's go take a bath!"
"Huh?"
After waiting for about ten minutes, Uchiha Rin was taken by Hayasaka Ai to the Shinomiya family's private bathhouse.
He recalled that the bathroom in Uchiha Ryo's apartment was not very big, and the bathtub could only accommodate three people at most, but the private bath in the Shinomiya family's house felt like it could accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time.
Led by Hayasaka Ai, we entered the rest area outside the large public bath. "I've added hot spring powder to the water in the bath to relieve fatigue and relax the mind and body."
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "That's great. Hayasaka, want to come along?"
"I...I can't!"
After saying that, Hayasaka Ai quickly left the room, leaving Uchiha Rin alone in the rest room.
After taking off his clothes and putting them in the closet, Uchiha Ryo went straight into the public bathhouse and soaked in the tub.
Meanwhile, Hayasaka Ai noticed that the young lady was taking an aikido class, and she wouldn't be going to accompany her today. With so much free time... why not take a bath instead?
Of course! She couldn't go to the main bathroom; Hayasaka Ai believed that once she went back in, the people inside wouldn't let her out easily! So she could only take a shower in the staff's private bathroom.
Inside the bath, Uchiha Ryo lay relaxed in the water.
It has to be said that the bathhouse culture here is quite something. Even Uchiha Ryo, who isn't used to soaking for long periods, felt the comfort of the hot spring bath. The feeling of being able to relax your whole body is truly wonderful.
The only downside is that he's all alone. It would be great if he could invite everyone from the Classic Literature Club, except for Shirogane, to come along.
...
After putting on a yukata and stepping out of the bath, I noticed that Hayasaka Ai, looking refreshed, was sitting there, seemingly drying her hair.
Uchiha Ryo: "You just finished soaking too?"
Hayasaka Ai: "Um... I just went back to my room and took a short bath by myself."
"How can a small bathtub compare to a large bathtub? Next time you want to soak, just take a bath together. As the host, I won't mind."
Hayasaka Ai: You don't mind, but I do mind a lot....
"By the way, Hayasaka, do you usually blow-dry your own hair?"
"Well, being a maid, my duty is to serve Miss Kaguya, so of course I have to get used to serving myself. Would you like me to blow-dry your hair, Young Master Ling?"
Uchiha Ryo stepped forward and snatched the hair dryer from Hayasaka Ai's hand.
"Looks like your young lady doesn't appreciate you at all. Sit down, turn around, and don't move! Get ready, I'm coming."
