Chapter 744: Something Unattainable?
"Of course I want to go."
Opening her eyes, Kaguya answered without hesitation.
"Since you want to go, why don't you find a way to sneak out of the house?" Hayasaka said calmly, "It's only 6:30 p.m. Even if there's no driver to pick you up, plus the traffic, it'll take up to 50 minutes. You can make it to the fireworks show."
"And by then it'll only be 7:20 p.m. Even if it's a little late and 20 minutes past the promised 7 p.m., it doesn't matter at all if we can't leave."
"I want to go out. But Nii-san said on the phone that he'll call again at 9:30 p.m., right after the fireworks show, and let me answer that call."
Kaguya stated the most critical moment, which was also the main reason for prohibiting her from sneaking out.
"Even if I arrive at the fireworks show, based on the 50-minute travel time you just mentioned, I'd have to return here by 8:40 p.m."
"The fireworks will last for an hour, and I can only watch them for 10 minutes, or even less, so what's the point of going!"
"What about the phone call at 8:30 p.m.?"
Because Kaguya was just waiting in between moments when she answered the phone, she didn't know the content of the conversation on the phone.
Therefore, Kaguya roughly recounted the contents of the phone call between her and Oko.
"So that's it."
After listening, Hayasaka nodded, looking pensive.
It seems Oko stopped Kaguya from attending the fireworks show considering her safety.
But in reality, as she analyzed it, she could tell that Oko warned Kaguya that it's best not to take unnecessary actions.
If not, today's fireworks show is just an example.
"So what's the point of going! I can't even see the most important fireworks."
Kaguya lay on the bed and stated this fact.
"Maybe I'll never see Kamikawa-kun and the others for the rest of my life."
"No, when school starts, no matter how annoying you are, you'll still see them." Hayasaka countered her last sentence.
"But today is the day of the fireworks show." Kaguya said with concern, "If I miss it this year, I'll have to wait until next year. No, maybe next year will be like this year, stuck at home and unable to go out."
"That's possible."
Hayasaka agreed with this.
"But there must be a way, right? If Kaguya-sama, you really want to attend the fireworks show."
"What else can we do? It takes at least 50 minutes to travel from here to the fireworks show."
Kaguya really couldn't think of any solution.
Hayasaka reaffirmed: "Let me make sure of one more thing for you. What you want to see is the fireworks, right?"
"Yes."
Kaguya's answer was very firm.
"In that case, let me fulfill your wish. Please wait in the room for a moment."
After saying this, Hayasaka left without waiting for Kaguya's answer and walked towards her room.
She, Hayasaka Ai, was a spy.
She was a spy sent to Kaguya by Shinomiya Oko.
Since the first day she worked as Kaguya's maid, she was responsible for monitoring her, and then reporting all of Kaguya's movements to Oko.
As for Kaguya's intention to participate in the fireworks show, she personally informed Oko.
Even if she didn't tell him, someone else would.
But Kaguya's inability to participate in the fireworks show was surely partly caused by her.
So, she had to do something.
Because Hayasaka wasn't just a spy, but also Kaguya's personal servant.
It was the duty of a servant to allow their master to smoothly participate in the fireworks show.
Entering her room, Hayasaka's eyes immediately sharpened.
"Kamikawa Ren, you may not have forgotten that you still owe me two favors, right?"
Taking out her phone and finding his contact information, Hayasaka whispered to herself.

"There are so many people."
Right now, Ren was walking alone at the festival, holding marshmallows he had just bought in his hand.
There was an endless stream of people around, and various stalls were also crowded with people.
"It's very lively."
It was his first time participating in such a lively event, and he found it very interesting.
Even if he didn't try anything, just wandering like this, he could still see different sights.
Of course, it didn't mean he didn't do anything.
The marshmallow in his hand was the best proof. He lined up to buy it himself.
And for some stalls with a lot of people, he would go there and see what the stall was doing.
"Oooh, oh, amazing!"
"That masked beauty is perfect! She almost took over all the products at the stall!!"
Right now, bursts of cheers came from a stall not far ahead.
A place so lively naturally caught Ren's attention.
Then, he walked towards the origin of that voice.
Ren saw a girl wearing a light pink yukata, with long light pink hair hanging down her back, a slender figure, and a Kamen Rider mask. She held a rubber bullet spear in one hand and pointed to the products on the shelf at a distance.
With the sound of gunfire, the merchandise on the shelf fell, and the audience cheered again.
The most eye-catching thing was the pink-haired girl with the Kamen Rider standing next to the pink-haired girl.
Kirisu Mafuyu and Kirisu Miharu.
Although wearing masks, Ren still recognized both of them at once.
"It's over. Miharu, that's enough."
Realizing the grim expression on the stall owner's face, Mafuyu put down the pistol in her hand.
"Um, that's enough."
Putting the products into a full bag, Miharu happily replied.
"Let's go."
Seeing the two women about to leave, the crowd immediately made way for them to show respect.
But before Mafuyu and Miharu followed the path cleared by the crowd, both of them looked at a black-framed glasses-wearing boy.
After hesitating for a moment, Mafuyu firmly averted her gaze, pretending not to see anything.
But behind her, Miharu exclaimed, "Kamikawa Ren? Why are you here?"
