Class S: Last Elites Standing (COTE fancfic)

Chapter 133: The Devil's tricks (Part 1)

Ayanokouji POV

I looked up at the night sky.

It really is beautiful out here with all the stars across this vast darkness they call space. 

 We still have about 10 minutes before they announce the next event. 

It really does feel refreshing to be out here.

The cool nightly breeze flowing through me. 

Back in the White Room. I wouldn't have experienced such things. 

But now I can feel it every day. 

This is freedom. 

But is it true freedom though? 

"Ayanokouji-kun" 

I heard a voice behind me, and I turned around.

It was Hayasaka. 

"What is it?" I asked.

"The others were looking for you. You just suddenly disappeared so Kaguya-sama told me to find you." that was her answer.

"I see" 

I noticed her walking towards me and standing next to me.

"You like looking up the sky too?" she asked. 

"I suppose so." I replied. 

There was an air of silence between us. 

I don't mind it. 

I looked at this girl. Hayasaka.

She wouldn't be the first blonde girl I met but she's very dependable. 

I mean she is Kaguya's maid so that would be the case. 

I don't really know too much about her, but I suppose assessing my classmates that I don't have much interaction with isn't always a bad decision. 

"Hayasaka" 

"Yes" 

"When did you start being Kaguya's maid? it's my first time meeting a maid that's within the age of a teen." Hayasaka seems to be too young to take up such a role. 

She's nowhere Matsuo's age or even close to an adult age. 

She really has a lot of responsibilities huh. 

"Curious about me? I suppose it wouldn't hurt if I tell you something about me." she said.

She began by talking about how her family who were also wealthy lost to the Shinomiya's

"Shinomiya? and by Shinomiya you mean Kaguya?" I asked.

"That's right." 

"You see, like her I lived in an isolated world but I'm less sheltered compared to hers." she said.

I think this is the first time I've heard of this. 

So, she lived her life just like me?

And this is after when I left the White Room. 

I suppose Hayasaka is like the Matsuo of the two and Kaguya is like me.

It makes sense. 

"I see. You know, I don't often say this to anyone, but it does remind me of something a while back."

"Remind you of what Ayanokouji-kun?" she asked. 

"You remind me of my butler." I spoke.

"Butler? wait you come from a rich family as well?"
