Chapter 723: Sudden Call
"Hah? Is everything because of you? Moeha, didn't you just accompany Kaguya-san for a while and then give irrelevant opinions?" Chika mercilessly mocked her younger sister.
"Compared to me, Onee-sama is the useless one." Moeha countered, "I said I'm good at matching clothes, but in the end, it didn't help at all in choosing yukatas. Instead, it was just a waste of time."
"It's understandable if you can't understand the world of clothing matching, Moeha." Chika refused to acknowledge.
Moeha said with a bright smile, "But at least I can tell which ones are good and which ones are bad."
"Kaguya-san, who do you think played the biggest role between the two of us in the yukata buying process?"
After debating for a while and finding that no one could convince anyone, Chika handed the decision over to Kaguya.
"Isn't it me, Kaguya-chan?" Moeha also looked at Kaguya.
"It's me." Chika asked hopefully.
"Mhmm... Actually, both of you have given me a lot of advice, so there's no need to argue about this." Kaguya reassured with a smile.
In reality, neither of them gave much useful advice at all; they spent most of their time adding to the chaos, to put it mildly.
"It seems true, Moeha."
Chika thought it over carefully.
"Onee-sama also gave a lot of good advice." Moeha agreed.
(Their sisterly relationship is very good.)
Seeing Chika and Moeha reconciling in an instant, Hayasaka complained inwardly.
After observing the situation for a moment, she then said, "Sorry, there's something else I need to do, so I'll leave first."
"I also want to leave." Ren followed.
He was really uncomfortable with this situation, so he had to leave if he could.
"I want to spend more time with Kamikawa-senpai." Moeha said with a hint of disappointment.
"Sorry."
"It's okay, we should still meet often in the future." Moeha said casually.
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye, everyone."
After saying goodbye, Ren and Hayasaka left the café together.
"What will you do next?"
After sending a message to the driver, Hayasaka took advantage of the time before the driver arrived to ask Ren.
"I might just go for a walk." Ren said unsurely.
With no work to do, he usually spent his time wandering around.
"In that case, I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye."
After receiving this answer, Hayasaka no longer had any idea to chat with him and immediately left from there.
To ensure that the car coming to pick her up wouldn't be seen by Chika and the others, she chose a distant spot to get in the car, and she had to get there earlier.
"Goodbye."
After bidding her goodbye, Ren randomly chose a direction and continued to wander.

At night, Shinomiya Residence, Kaguya's room.
"Hayasaka, what happened between you and Kamikawa-kun today?"
Kaguya, wearing pajamas, sat on the bed and asked the question that had always been on her mind.
"As Kamikawa-kun said, he wanted to be friends with me, and I agreed." Hayasaka explained simply.
"So, are you friends now?" Kaguya's tone softened slightly.
Hayasaka answered hesitantly, "In his eyes, we might be friends."
"What about you?"
"No. I don't need friends." Hayasaka's answer was quite firm.
"Then why did you agree to be friends with him?"
Kaguya didn't quite understand this.
"It's just to satisfy his idea, increase his support for me, and obtain information more effectively." Hayasaka answered very calmly, "If he treats me as a friend, then he's willing to disclose more useful information to me, and I think my approach is the optimal solution."
Being hypocritically friends with others and getting information from others, this was her usual action.
However, her target now was Ren.
"So that's it."
Kaguya wanted to say something to criticize her for doing this, but when she thought of all the actions she had ordered Hayasaka to do before, she couldn't say anything.
"However, Kamikawa-kun is still a very good person."
In the end, Kaguya could only utter weak words like that.
"Perhaps."
Hayasaka was still uncertain.
After pinching her eyebrows and calming her emotions, Kaguya immediately said, "Okay, I want to sleep now."
"In that case, I won't disturb you."
With these words, Hayasaka left her room and walked to her own room.
"Make sure to take a good bath later."
After returning to her room and thinking about what happened today, Hayasaka made a decision.
But before she could take any action, her phone vibrated in her pocket.
Then, she quickly took out her phone.
After seeing the contact name displayed on the phone, Hayasaka's face immediately became serious.
After regulating her breath, she clicked connect.
"Good evening, Oko-sama." Hayasaka greeted respectfully.
The person on the other end of the phone was Kaguya's big brother, Shinomiya Oko.
"Hayasaka Ai, I heard from people there that Kaguya seems to have gone shopping today?" Oko's relaxed and indifferent voice came from the phone.
Hayasaka answered respectfully, "Yes, Kaguya-sama went shopping with Fujiwara-sama and Moeha-sama today."
"I told you about this matter a few days ago."
"Is that so? Forget it, tell me again why she went shopping. And what did she buy today." Oko ordered indifferently.
"Kaguya-sama went shopping to buy yukatas for the fireworks show, and she only bought one yukata today." Hayasaka answered honestly.
"Fireworks show?"
"Yes."
"She'll be attending?"
"Yes."
"There's no point in attending such events. Find a reason to make her give up." Oko said mercilessly.
"It's Kaguya-sama's idea, I can't control it."
The call ended.
