Chapter 36 My Brother Yunying and I Became Friends at First Sight
"Kaguya, let's go chat too~ Lots of Shuchiin's friends are there!"
"friend...."
As Kaguya Shinomiya's only friend, Chika Fujiwara was planning to take Kaguya to a more crowded place instead of staying in a corner.
Under Shinomiya Un'taka's tutelage, Shinomiya Kaguya didn't think she would make any friends. Because she had become detached from human nature...
In elementary school, during a class activity where we folded origami cranes, Kaguya noticed that her deskmate was folding too slowly, so she scolded her, "Can't you be more serious?!"
The result was the girl crying loudly.
However, in Kaguya's eyes, the fact that she folded it so slowly was a sign of not taking it seriously. If this were the Shinomiya family, not taking things seriously would result in being hit on the back of the hand with a cane.
When Kaguya entered sixth grade, she said the same thing to another female classmate, and more than once, but in the end... she got slapped by the other girl.
[I've tried my best! But I really can't do it well! Shinomiya-kun... as a genius, you simply can't understand us!]
【Are you just too special? You always look down on us from a superior position and make demands of us! I only became friends with you because my mother told me to, but I've had enough!】
Young Kaguya Shinomiya didn't understand; she believed she was just offering a well-intentioned reminder to help them solve the problem more perfectly.
After that, Kaguya completely stopped believing that she could make friends.
Even now... while everyone is afraid of being hurt by Kaguya Shinomiya's talent and subconsciously distances themselves, only Chika Fujiwara, whose mind is always wandering, stays by her side.
For example, when Fujiwara Chika discovered that there were quite a few classmates present, she decided to take Kaguya with her.
"Yukinoshita-san! Chitanda-san! Hayasaka-san! and Shijo-san, you're all here."
Before long, Fujiwara Chika, a social butterfly, pulled all of them into her own chat group.
The sight of six stunningly beautiful girls standing together attracted the attention of many young men, but upon seeing that Kaguya Shinomiya, the main character of the banquet, was also there, they gave up the idea of striking up a conversation.
Although there were six people together, Kaguya Shinomiya and Maki Shijou clearly didn't get along, and Yukino Yukinoshita didn't have much to talk about with anyone except Chitanda.
Only Fujiwara Chika and Hayasaka Ai, who is in a socialite mode, serve as the link that connects the group of people.
"Yukino, that must be Shinomiya-san, right? Should we ask her if we can look into the events of thirty-three years ago?"
Chitanda whispered to Yukinoshita, "Now is a good opportunity to strike up a conversation with Kaguya Shinomiya."
Yukino sighed, "I'm sorry, although we're in the same class, I'm not really familiar with Shinomiya-kun at all, or rather, we've barely spoken a few words to each other."
Chitanda Eru was a little disappointed, but she quickly recovered. "It's okay, I can ask her for help once we get to know each other better~"
"Hey, I finally found someone I know here, I didn't expect them to be here too."
Suddenly, a man appeared outside the circle of six beautiful girls, and his appearance surprised five of the six girls.
Yukino Yukinoshita: Uchiha Ryo? What's he doing here!
Chitanda Eru: Uchiha-kun is here too? Huh, why is that!
Hayasaka Ai: ? ? ? Something's not right, how could he possibly be attending this banquet!
Kaguya Shinomiya: Is he Uchiha Ryo, the one who surpassed me academically? But I remember he was just a commoner...
Shijo Maki: He's here too? Wait, how did this guy get in?!
Fujiwara Chika greeted Uchiha Ryo in a very casual manner, "Uchiha-kun, you've also come to Kaguya's party."
Uchiha Ryo felt that coming here was absolutely the right choice; five out of the six people in front of him were system-designated targets. This meant he, the professional shepherd, would have to work hard to fleece them!
"What's with all those expressions? You didn't expect me to attend this banquet?"
Uchiha Ryo naturally joined the group of six women, which made the other young men nearby extremely envious.
"Hmph! Whose son is he? How can he chat and laugh so naturally with those young ladies!"
"I don't know, but I think I heard it was called Uchiha Ryo?"
"That inherently evil Uchiha Ryo dares to approach my goddesses! I'll..."
A group of boys who dared not approach gritted their teeth, while Yukinoshita Haruno, a girl, walked over out of curiosity.
"Isn't this Junior Ling? I didn't know you were here at this banquet. Are you here to see Yukino?"
"Yukinoshita-senpai, I only came here at the invitation of a friend. You may know this friend."
Everyone present, except for Fujiwara Chika, secretly thought to themselves, "Just as I expected." Uchiha Ryo's attendance at this banquet must have been by invitation. And this person's status was probably quite high...
"Who are Ling's friends? I might actually know them."
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "I don't know if Yukinoshita-senpai knows her, but Shinomiya-kun definitely does."
Everyone then turned their attention to Kaguya Shinomiya.
Kaguya Shinomiya, who hadn't spoken until now, finally opened her mouth, "You definitely know him... You can say 'definitely'? I'd like to see the friend Uchiha-kun is talking about."
Kaguya Shinomiya was going to give this guy a good dressing down. Why did he bring just anyone to the banquet, especially this guy who made her feel defeated?
Just then, someone else came over to them and stopped right next to Kaguya Shinomiya.
Hayasaka Ai, who was always on guard to protect the young lady, was about to approach, but upon seeing the other person, she immediately retreated.
When others also noticed the newcomer, even the somewhat naive Fujiwara Chika stopped talking and silently stood on the other side of Kaguya.
"Ling Jun, so you're here. That old bastard Yaksha God was just questioning me about whether I was targeting you."
The biggest boss of this banquet, Shinomiya Un'taka, the third son of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, actually smiled at Uchiha Ryo?
"No way, Brother Yunying and I hit it off immediately. It's just that the Yaksha Clan Chief is overthinking it."
Shinomiya Un'yō nodded. "Come over there and have a drink with us."
"Um... I can't drink alcohol."
"Oh, then forget it. Kaguya, Uchiha Ryo is my guest, Shinomiya Un'taka. Treat him well and don't embarrass the Shinomiya family."
After saying that, Shinomiya Un'yō raised his wine glass and returned to the boss's table.
Uchiha Ryo smiled and picked up a pastry from the table. "Hmm? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Kaguya Shinomiya forcibly recovered from her shock and gave Ai Hayasaka a subtle glare.
How did you investigate?! Ordinary civilians? Ordinary civilians can attend this kind of banquet? Ordinary civilians can become fast friends with my brother Yunying, who is even more extreme in his ways!
Kaguya Shinomiya's mind was in turmoil, because it seemed she was supposed to... treat him well?!
