"Then, Uchiha-kun, please."
Kaguya Shinomiya smiled politely and offered tea to the distinguished guest of the Shinomiya family.
"Oh, thanks."
Watching Uchiha Ryo accept the tea, pick up some pastries, and begin eating at the banquet, Kaguya Shinomiya still couldn't understand. However, neither she nor Hayasaka Ai could possibly investigate anything concerning Shinomiya Un'taka...
"You were already one of Brother Yunying's men? He sent you to Xiuzhi Academy!"
Kaguya Shinomiya shared her guess, believing it to be almost certain: this Uchiha Ryo was definitely one of Shinomiya Un'taka's people a long time ago, but his purpose in coming to the school was hard to say.
"You're overthinking it. I only met him for the first time today."
Kaguya Shinomiya looked completely incredulous.
Uchiha Ryo then turned to look at Hayasaka Ai, who was quietly trying to leave.
"Where are you going, Hayasaka-san? Didn't you promise to have me tutor you today...?"
Hayasaka Ai instinctively stood behind Fujiwara Chika. "Hmm... I'd like to too, but my family suddenly dragged me to this banquet today~"
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "I see. Then why didn't you tell me on Line today? What if I really went? Wouldn't that be like standing me up?"
Hayasaka Ai feigned a wronged expression, "I wanted to let you know too, but my family confiscated my phone..."
"Oh, I see. I thought Hayasaka-san was deliberately standing me up, and I was really hurt. So... why did the person who was supposed to treat me well stop? What happened to the Shinomiya family's hospitality?!"
Kaguya Shinomiya was truly aggrieved! What had she done? But just as Un'taka Shinomiya said, the Shinomiya family's reputation absolutely could not be lost, so the hospitality work had to be done well.
Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't believe it, while Haruno Yukinoshita had already left the small circle in shock.
She dared not joke about this junior, Ling, again. She had heard of Shinomiya Un'taka's methods. If Uchiha Ling really was one of Shinomiya Un'taka's people, she was even prepared to tell Yukino to stay away from him as well.
No, deliberately keeping Yukino away from him might backfire, and besides, this guy goes up and down the stairs with Yukino...
It would be a lie to say that Yukino Yukinoshita isn't worried about the behemoth that the Shinomiya family is. Now, she can only hope that Shinomiya Untaka doesn't have any designs on the Yukinoshita family.
"Shinomiya, is your so-called hospitality limited to serving tea?"
Kaguya Shinomiya stared coldly at Ryo Uchiha. "Then what else do you want to do?"
"For example... serving tea and water, picking up takeout, massaging shoulders and backs, and pounding knees."
Kaguya Shinomiya was speechless. Did you think I was a maid? But oh, maids can do so many things... I'll let Hayasaka try it sometime.
"By the way, everyone, since the banquet still has a long way to go, how about we play some games?"
It was Fujiwara Chika who spoke, and she actually pulled a small box out from behind her.
"Playing games... I'm not really interested."
Uchiha Ryo wasn't really interested in Fujiwara Chika's games; he preferred video games to playing board games with this young girl.
Chitanda also likes games, but she turned to Kaguya Shinomiya and asked.
"Can we play this at the banquet?"
Kaguya Shinomiya noticed that Ryo Uchiha didn't seem to want to play the game. Hmph! Well, she'd better play it anyway!
"It's alright. After all, this is my banquet, and I'm just playing some simple games with everyone."
Hearing her friend Kaguya Shinomiya support her, Chika Fujiwara became even more enthusiastic and pulled Yukinoshita, Chitanda, Hayasaka Ai, and Maki Shijou over to her side.
"Uchiha-kun, come join us! Let's play... [NG Word Game]!"
Kaguya Shinomiya nodded; she had heard of the NG word game. Don't think it's just a simple trap game; using deception, anticipation, and understanding your surroundings and others will all increase your chances of winning!
"Isn't this simple little game a bit boring? How about adding some rewards? For example... the winner can order someone to do something that isn't too unreasonable."
She must win this victory so that she can force Uchiha Ryo to answer her question about his relationship with Yun Ying!
Yukino Yukinoshita raised an eyebrow. "I don't really care, but I'm sorry, I don't know much about the [NG word game]."
Ta-da! It's time for Fujiwara Chika's commentary!
"The rules of the game are very simple~ If you say a specific word during the conversation, you lose the game."
Chika Fujiwara pulled out small cards, stickers, and a black marker from her little box.
"For example, someone writes 'thank you' on this card and then sticks it on my forehead. I don't know what's written on the card, but if I say 'thank you,' I'm out!"
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. "Okay, I understand the rules."
Fujiwara Chika handed out cards and pens to the seven people. "We'll form a circle, and each of you will write a word for the person on your right. There's a special rule: you can't write names!"
"You're not allowed to write names?" Uchiha Ryo looked at Kaguya on his right. Seeing her full of fighting spirit, he decided to simply write "Victory."
But the question now is... what will Hayasaka Ai on his left write to him?
Looking around, to Uchiha Ryo's right was Kaguya Shinomiya, followed by Maki Shijou, Chika Fujiwara, Eru Chitanda, Yukino Yukinoshita, Ai Hayasaka, and then back to himself.
"Put the card you wrote on the person's forehead!"
Full of confidence, Fujiwara Chika then affixed the card to Chitanda.
After writing it down, Hayasaka Ai winked at Uchiha Ryo and then stuck the card over.
But what kind of look is that from Hayasaka Ai? You're the one who wanted to stand me up, so why are you so full of fighting spirit towards me?
Uchiha Ryo originally intended to play around casually, but it seemed like Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, the master and servant duo, were targeting him. Fine, he'd have to resort to cheat codes.
Uchiha Ryo – [Okay]
Kaguya Shinomiya - [Victory]
Shijou Maki – [Great-aunt]
Fujiwara Chika — [Hehe]
Chitanda Eru – [Why]
Yukinoshita Yukino——[Cat]
Hayasaka Ai – [Classmate]
After everyone put on their cards, they first looked around to see what other people's bloopers were. Upon seeing the word "classmate" above Hayasaka Ai's head, they suddenly felt that Yukinoshita was really ruthless...
Because this kind of game doesn't guarantee that someone will use the same NG word, Kaguya Shinomiya would never risk using such a potentially damaging word as "classmate."
Fujiwara Chika glanced at the group, who had suddenly fallen silent. "This won't do! Let's pretend we weren't playing the game. Let's chat normally; anyone who stays silent for too long will be eliminated!"
Uchiha Ryo casually glanced at Fujiwara Chika, who momentarily lost her focus before quickly returning to normal.
The instantaneous genjutsu of the three-tomoe Sharingan is completely undetectable to ordinary people. Just now, Uchiha Ryo also successfully saw the "Yes" above his head through Fujiwara Chika's perspective.
Hayasaka Ai genuinely wanted to win, and she could easily rattle off common vocabulary for such answers. However, Uchiha Ryo, already knowing the answer, showed no fear!
