"Why are you still standing at the door?" Yukinoshita, who was about to go to sleep, noticed that Uchiha Ryo was still standing at the bedroom door.
Uchiha Ryo turned his head stiffly. "Uh... hahaha, would you believe me if I said the door was locked?"
Yukinoshita frowned, while Fujiwara Chika simply got out of bed. "Well, Uchiha-san, even if you're going to make up an excuse, you should at least come up with a better one, like the door being locked or something..."
Fujiwara Chika pushed the door hard, then fell silent.
Yukinoshita: "Fujiwara-kun, what's wrong?"
Fujiwara Chika turned her head. "The bedroom door... is indeed locked!"
"What? Where's that butler, Hayasaka? Has he already gone to bed? Should we give him a call..."
Fujiwara Chika lowered her head. "Um... I don't have the butler's phone number, but Kaguya will definitely be able to contact him. However, Kaguya right now..."
Looking at Kaguya Shinomiya, who was already lying in bed in a deep sleep, Yukinoshita and Chika Fujiwara fell silent.
Uchiha Ryo scratched his head. "I have a brilliant plan for this situation."
The two looked over, and Uchiha Ryo said seriously, "It's getting late, why don't we go to sleep first? We can talk about it tomorrow."
Yukinoshita: ".."
Fujiwara Chika: "...Then you can sleep on the floor."
Uchiha Ryo pointed to the floor. "Sleep on the floor? What if my frail body catches a cold from sleeping on the floor?!"
Yukinoshita scoffed, "You beat three of the sports club's ace players in basketball, and you think you're weak?"

At five o'clock in the morning, Uchiha Ryo opened his eyes. Perhaps because he was a ninja, Uchiha Ryo usually slept for very short periods of time, which was enough to ensure he had the energy and spirit for the whole day.
Looking out the window at the sky turning a pale white, Uchiha Ryo turned his head.
"..."
He slowly walked to the bedside, then took out his phone and snapped a picture of each one. What was he thinking? Of course, he wanted to take pictures to remember the moment; they could even be used against him in a crucial moment.
Putting down his phone, Uchiha Ryo noticed Fujiwara Chika's lips twitch. "Pace~ You've grown up again!"
Hmm? Is she talking in her sleep? Uchiha Ryo remembered, Fujiwara Chika's family had a golden retriever named Pain... oh no, Pain.

After returning to her sleeping mat and playing on her phone, at six o'clock in the morning, a sound came from outside Kaguya's bedroom door.
Hayasaka Ai—!
Uchiha Ryo stood up and went out immediately after the other party unlocked the door.
Hayasaka Ai (butler Hayasaka), who was holding two locks, was also stunned when she saw Uchiha Ryo coming out from inside.
"Um... Young Master Ling got up really early."
Uchiha Ryo smiled and closed the door behind him.
"Hayasaka, as expected of Kaguya-sama's good maid, just locking someone else with her master like that."
Hayasaka Ai subconsciously took a step back, her eyes darting around, before she smiled and said the same thing.
"I'm just worried that Miss Kaguya (myself) might be in danger. With Young Master Ling here, Miss Kaguya will be perfectly safe."
"Oh...so that's why they locked me in there."
Uchiha Ryo took a step forward, and Hayasaka Ai took a step back. But as Uchiha Ryo pressed closer, Hayasaka Ai finally retreated to a corner.
"Speaking of which, you should be my maid today, right?"
Uchiha Ryo pressed his palm against the wall to prevent the agile maid from escaping.
Hayasaka Ai turned her head away from Uchiha Ryo's eyes, "Well... yes."
"Then you should know what the price will be for offending your master, right? Anyway, go and pour me a cup of tea first!"
In the hallway, a young nanny carrying a plate walked nearby, and then... what did she see!
A male classmate invited by Kaguya-sama is flirting with their family's butler?!
"Mr. Hayasaka?"
That's right. In order to prevent Hayasaka Ai's disguise from being exposed, the housekeeper, chef and others in the Shinomiya family believed that the butler Hayasaka and the maid Hayasaka Ai were two different people.
"Who goes there?!"
Uchiha Ryo suddenly turned his head, and the young nanny, who was already in shock, was startled by Uchiha Ryo's sharp gaze.
He loosened his grip, and the plate he was holding fell to the ground.
The sound of a porcelain plate shattering rang out. Luckily, I had just closed the door to Kaguya's bedroom, or I would have been woken up.
The butler, Wanaka, adjusted his glasses and then immediately went over.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Hayasaka, I... I'll pack my own luggage." The nanny's expression visibly fell.
Uchiha Ryo stepped forward. "Packing your luggage, what's the meaning of this?"
The butler, Wanaka, said with a serious expression, "In the Shinomiya family, making such a small mistake disqualifies you from staying. After all, once you make a mistake, it's easy to repeat it."
Uchiha Ryo glanced at the young nanny.
"Well, she seemed to have been startled by me, which is why she accidentally broke the plate. Hayasaka, please let it go for my sake."
Hayasaka Ai fell silent, then sighed.
"You, I remember you were the nanny who came last month, your name is... Shirasaki Haruka, right? I remember the information you submitted. Since you're a single mother, even if it's for your own child, you should be more serious about what you do."
Shirasaki Haruka nodded frantically, then looked at Uchiha Ryo gratefully. To actually persuade the butler with just a few words, it seems the two of them are truly...
The nanny quickly cleaned up the broken pieces on the floor and left, leaving only Hayasaka Ai and Uchiha Ryo behind.
"Hey, you didn't keep her around just because she's pretty, did you? She's a single mother with a daughter named Xiaohua."
Huh?! There was an unexpected bonus. Uchiha Ryo suddenly remembered the little girl he met last month when he accompanied Yukino to the mall to buy cat food.
Uchiha Ryo: "I'm not interested in your housekeeper... And what kind of tone is that?! Go get me two cups of tea."
