CHAPTER 310: IWANAGA KOTOKO

Chapter 310: Iwanaga Kotoko! If There’s Trouble, the Maid Handles It, If Not...

The movie was a romance. The plot was only decent.

But the atmosphere of the privately booked theater, with the two sitting closely together, was palpable.

Ren, being a carnivorous type, decisively went on the offensive, slowly reaching for Kaguya’s hand.

The first time, her hand flinched away. But the second time, she no longer moved, and Ren firmly grasped her hand, pulling it into his embrace.

Because it was a special sofa-style seat, Kaguya was pulled entirely against him, her head resting on his shoulder.

"Mmm!"

Kaguya’s cheeks were flushed, and her heart pounded. Countless thoughts raced through her mind, and she no longer had the mood to pay attention to the movie.

Ahhh, I’m leaning in the President’s arms! So happy!

What should I do next? Should I hug him back? Wouldn’t that be too immodest?

Or should I just kiss him? Wah! So embarrassing.

Not far behind them, Hayasaka Ai, dressed in black from head to toe and silently observing, was even more anxious.

Hug! Kiss! Even doing... that... is fine!

Anyway, all the surveillance equipment here was gone.

[Big lightbulb, you wouldn’t want to watch from up close, would you?]

Ren’s voice came from her mind. Hayasaka Ai wasn’t surprised to be discovered; she hadn’t intentionally hidden herself from him. She slumped her shoulders, completely listless.

[Yes, that’s right. You can proceed with confidence. All surveillance here is gone.]

[Hehe, this maid of yours is quite amusing. She really wants to see her young lady being bullied.]

Hayasaka Ai had a dead-fish eye expression, but the voice in her heart was spirited. [Ah~ Of course! To see the usually high and mighty young lady with a ruined expression is truly delightful~]

[What kind of uncensored plot are you talking about? Kaguya isn’t high and mighty in front of you, is she?]

Hayasaka Ai clicked her tongue in annoyance. [Tsk, you found that out too.]

Ren said with a playful smile, [Are you sure no one will come into this place?]

[Of course. So if you’re going to do something, do it quickly. After you’re done here, you can go to a hotel.]

Ren put a hand on Kaguya’s shoulder, making her delicate body tremble. A mischievous smile appeared on his lips. [How about a bet?]

[What bet?] Hayasaka Ai raised an eyebrow.

[Since you guaranteed no one would come, if someone does, you will be punished.]

[Punishment...]

[That’s right. The punishment is simple: give me a full massage and spa treatment. The swimsuit kind.]

[...] Hayasaka Ai’s breath hitched. [You’re not eyeing me, are you?]

[You figured that out?]

[...] She had just asked casually, and he admitted it so directly.

[Don’t worry, you can’t escape. When Kaguya and I get married, as her personal maid, I’ll definitely take you over too.]

[And this maid is very versatile. As the saying goes, ’If there’s something to do, the maid does it; if there’s nothing to do...’]

Before he could finish, Hayasaka Ai mercilessly interrupted him. [You’re mistaken. It’s the secretary.]

[Well, it’s all the same. Anyway, I’ve already decided to conquer you.]

This was a naked declaration. After a moment of silence, Hayasaka Ai spat out, "You’re truly a scumbag."

[Thanks for the compliment. So, do you want to make the bet?]

[Bet!] A hint of a smile appeared on Hayasaka Ai’s lips. [My condition is, if no one comes, you must treat the Young Lady sincerely.]

Ren understood immediately. This is clearly a feeling of indebtedness.

[Tsk, still thinking about making up for things? Kaguya will forgive you. That condition won’t do. I will naturally treat my woman sincerely. Let me change it for you.]

[If no one comes, how about I fulfill one wish for you, based on your own desire?]

[...Alright.] Hayasaka Ai sighed. What wish could she possibly have? Moreover, she couldn’t possibly lose this bet. The door was locked tight.

"Boom!"

Just as she thought this, the large door behind her was violently smashed open with a loud bang.

"?"

Hayasaka Ai was stunned. How did the door get broken open?!

Tap, tap!

Accompanied by two crisp sounds, a girl walked in. She was petite and well-proportioned, wearing a beret and leaning on a walking stick, exuding the demeanor of a young lady. A pair of purple eyes looked towards the movie screen.

Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai stared at the girl in shock. Beside her were two small flying creatures, one black and one white. They were definitely not ordinary animals.

They were anomalies.

"There’s no aura of yokai or oddities. Could the information be wrong..." the girl mumbled, holding her chin. She ignored the three people staring at her. One pair seemed to have booked the entire place for a date, and the other person in black looked like a peeping tom.

The girl waved her hand. "Sorry for interrupting your foreplay. I’ll close the door for you. Continue your journey of love."

She finished her suggestive remark and was about to leave when she heard a furious roar.

"Roar! Love!!! Love!!!"

Suddenly, something on the movie screen was roaring. That was definitely not a character from the movie.

The girl turned around, and the two strange small beasts also became alert. "What kind of oddity is it?"

Two large, pink, clawed hands stretched out from the movie screen. They grabbed the edge, and the owner of the hands crawled out. It was a monster over four meters tall, its head already touching the ceiling. Its entire body was made of pink muscle, slightly distorted but still humanoid. Its limbs had sharp spikes, and its head was the most peculiar—a heart wrapped in pink spikes.

"Love, love, love, love!" It stretched out its large hands and let out an ear-splitting roar.

Kaguya, Hayasaka Ai, and the girl all covered their ears.

When the roaring stopped, the staff-wielding girl’s expression was no longer relaxed, but extremely solemn. "Why does this guy not feel like a yokai or an oddity to me?"

The two small creatures beside her began to wail loudly. The girl seemed to understand their cries. Her left eye widened, and she said in horror, "You’re saying it’s neither? How is that possible?!"

Ren glanced at the girl. With her unmoving right eye and prosthetic left leg, he probably knew who she was.

Iwanaga Kotoko, the Wisdom God of yokai.
