Abnormal month

Aozaki Residence.

In the early morning, Roy sat on the corridor and drank tea leisurely.

Everyone else performed their duties, and for a while there was a sense of tranquility.

However, Roy did not agree with this sentimental idea. The quiet time was just an illusion. It was a sense of leisure that he finally calmed down after experiencing two consecutive disturbances last night. There would definitely be more severe battles waiting for him in the future.

He has already made up his mind to risk his life in this Holy Grail War. No matter what kind of danger he faces, even if there is no chance of victory, he will struggle until the end.

"Love, how about coming here and sitting?"

There were footsteps behind him, and Roy turned his head and saw Ai Hayasaka in an apron. He waved and signaled to Ai Hayasaka with a smile.

"But, breakfast..."

Hayasaka Ai looked a little embarrassed.

"Is the kitchen empty?"

"And Rin-sama."

"That's okay. Don't look at Rin as the eldest lady. She is a master of cooking. It's okay to leave breakfast to her."

He said so, and Hayasaka Ai had nothing to do.

She had no choice but to agree, take off her apron, come to the corridor, and sit down two places away from Roy.

It's a slightly alienating distance, but within the normal range.

"Love, how are you enjoying your stay here?"

"Of course it's good."

"Is there anything you're not satisfied with?"

"No, as a refugee, it's already a good situation for me to live here. Other refugees have no chance to live here."

Hayasaka Ai's answer was very reasonable.

He also gave Roy a blow during his words.

Very flattering answer.

"Do you really think so?"

"Of course I mean it."

Hayasaka Ai nodded firmly.

"That's it..."

After hearing this answer, Roy muttered softly.

He took a sip of tea and lowered his head in a way that Hayasaka couldn't see through.

"I originally wanted to say that if you feel any pressure from me, I will let you and Tohsaka leave after the Holy Grail War is over..."

"……ah."

Hayasaka Ai opened her mouth, but only a subtle syllable came out of her throat.

Her face was full of unexpected confusion.

The confusion was mixed with a hint of regret.

"What's wrong?"

Roy raised his head and looked at her with confusion.

"...No, it's nothing."

Hayasaka Ai could only force out a smile to deal with Roy.

But I was already scolding myself bloody.

It was obviously a good opportunity just now, but she missed it because she subconsciously pretended to be good!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Looking at her troubled expression, Roy couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Roy laughing heartily there, Hayasaka Ai was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized something.

She covered her cheeks in embarrassment, feeling on pins and needles for a moment.

"Lord Roy, are you playing a trick on me?"

"yes!"

Roy admitted it very bluntly.

Roy, who wears glasses, is indeed easy to talk to, but this does not mean that he is a good old man. He can also tease and prank others. He does not have a different personality, just a different character.

"Oh, love, you should have experienced the magician's observation power a long time ago, right? Although Orange is the best among them, it is not difficult for me, Illya, and even Tohsaka to see through your heart. !”

"Ha, I admit defeat..."

Hayasaka Ai let out a long sigh, holding her forehead in annoyance and frankness.

At this moment, Hayasaka Ai has a little more humanity than before.

The previous Hayasaka Ai was like a machine, completing her work meticulously. No matter what she was asked to do, she never complained at all. On the surface, she was very well-behaved and lovable.

But in fact, the expression on her face was very different from what she was thinking.

On the surface she was respectful to Roy, but in her heart she was respectful and fearful of Roy. On the surface she praised her life at Aosaki House, but in fact she wished she could leave here as soon as possible.

"Aren't you pretending?"

Roy asked her with a smile.

"Since it has been seen through, there is nothing we can do. If we continue to pretend, we will only make people laugh."

Hayasaka Ai sat there, her back that had always been straight bent now.

The expression on her face didn't change much, but a kind of psychological shackles was lifted.

It's like the relaxed look you usually get when you return to your room after serving Miss Kaguya and immerse yourself in your rare little freedom.

Hayasaka Ai has been pretending to be good.

Although she and Kasumigaoka Shiyu are close in age, they are two completely different people.

Kasumigaoka Shiu is more like an ordinary girl. Her emotions and anger are usually expressed on her face. To put it nicely, she has no palace. Of course, for some people who are already hovering near the IQ level, she is already very smart, but Compared with the real elites, she is too young.

But it was precisely because there was no city that she quickly became familiar with Roy, and she dared to make requests to Roy and show her favor to him.

Hayasaka Ai is completely different.

She's so shrewd.

She is smart enough to know exactly when to wear a layer of protective clothing to protect herself. She is smart enough to completely draw a line with Roy and demand that she must never make mistakes or anger Roy.

Of course she wouldn't pretend like this if she was in a place she was familiar with.

But this is a completely unfamiliar world. There are terrible monsters in the wild, and there are perverted magicians who don't take human life seriously in the city. In order to protect herself, she can only put on a layer of obedient protection.

But in fact.

The smarter the person, the easier it is to alienate others.

And Kasumigaoka Utaha is very close to Roy because she has no scheming.

It is true that Roy has a special talent to turn people into magicians, but Hayasaka Ai is confident that as long as she works hard under Rin Tohsaka, it will be easy to obtain civilian status in the future, and it is not difficult to stand out. Becoming a magician is not an option that requires her to sell herself to achieve.

The only thing that may be considered is to keep a low profile and not be targeted by some magicians who can't even afford to offend Rin Tohsaka.

Of course, establishing a good relationship with Roy is also in her plan, so she has never disrespected Roy or angered him.

But now, she also understands.

These little tricks in her heart cannot be hidden from a magician like Roy.

In this case, she simply gave up the disguise, so that she could be considered frank and win some impression points.

"Don't worry, what I said just now is still valid."

Roy said with a smile.

That smile was full of comfort, which made Hayasaka Ai's somewhat uneasy heart after being exposed unconsciously eased.

"Lord Roy, are you really willing to let me, an all-purpose maid, leave?"

Hayasaka Ai deliberately spoke in a very complacent and playful tone. Although there was a hint of temptation, it was not offensive.

"If you want to leave, of course you can leave. Do you think I am the kind of tyrant who is so overbearing that I don't even want to let go of other people's maids?"

Roy saw through her heart that she wanted to test, but didn't care, and still smiled to comfort her.

But then, he suddenly changed the subject.

"But what will you do if Tosaka enters my house?"

Hayasaka Ai's heart, which had just been put down, was suddenly lifted up.

When she thought about this question, she was numb.

Yes.

If Rin Tousaka came to Roy's house, what should she do?

Although she was only staying temporarily, she easily persuaded Rin Tousaka to go to Roy's room last night. It was possible that Rin Tousaka packed herself up and gave herself to Roy!

It was bad. She was too smart and shouldn't have pushed Rin Tousaka.

Now she has pushed herself into a pit!
