Chapter 431: Doomsday Game Descends Again!
Chapter 431: Doomsday Game Descends Again! Creation God Mountain!
Why did she make this decision? Hayasaka Ai herself wasn’t clear at first. Was it out of guilt for having betrayed her young lady in the past? But for a young lady completely immersed in love, this kind of thing should be an enjoyment, right?
"Mm..." She herself had already experienced it deeply, enjoying it to the point of wanting to forget everything.
The moment she understood, Hayasaka Ai knew what she wanted. He was the one who had saved her multiple times—from the pedestrian crossing, from the vortex of betrayal, from the struggles of the Shinomiyas. Her own lifeless heart had long been beating restlessly, merely suppressed because of Kaguya-sama’s presence. Now, there was no need to suppress it.
From an initial forced, blank expression, she was completely melted by Ren’s passionate assault, her legs trembling as she wrapped them around his waist, pulling him deeper.
"Ugh, did I fall asleep?" A sudden murmur caused her entire body to stiffen. Her head slowly turned to her side. This time, she met Kaguya’s pupils, which slowly cleared from haziness and finally trembled.
"You two..." As soon as Kaguya opened her mouth, Hayasaka immediately retracted her exposed tongue, her rolled-up eyes turning back into blank, dead-fish eyes.
"Kaguya-sama, you’re finally awake. I’ve helped you this far; the rest is up to you." Saying this, she stood up from Ren, got off the bed, and limped away.
"Eh?" Kaguya’s half-awake brain still didn’t understand what had happened, as Ren rushed towards her.
"No matter what, enjoy the present, Kaguya."
The next morning, Ren stretched his body in the manor. He had spent the entire night thoroughly "explaining" and convincing Kaguya about Hayasaka Ai’s matter. Since she was a dowry maid, there was nothing wrong with her doing what a dowry maid should do.
"Master, breakfast is ready," Nao came to remind him.
Ren turned around. A complex expression flashed across her face. After finishing her work yesterday, she was preparing to rest when she saw a disheveled Hayasaka Ai emerging from Kaguya-sama’s room, walking with a limp. What had happened was self-evident.
Nao had chosen to go directly to her room to ask. Fortunately, everything wasn’t the worst-case scenario. Hayasaka Ai would wear a mask when facing others, but only when facing her, she was a girl who would act spoiled. Although her daughter was very shy during her reply, Nao still generally understood: her Ai-chan had fallen in love with Ren.
The biggest problem was that he was Kaguya-sama’s fiancé. For such a thing to happen, even being sunk in Tokyo Bay would not be an exaggeration.
Ren, being perceptive, noticed her thoughts. As he passed, he patted her shoulder. "Don’t worry about Ai-chan’s problem. Kaguya has already agreed."
"!!!" Nao looked up, her expression of disbelief revealing itself. She stared at his back, unable to utter a word. Could he even convince Miss Kaguya with something like this?
Breakfast was prepared by Nakiri Erina and the others. It was considered their compensation before leaving. Kaguya, seated beside Ren, occasionally let her gaze drift towards Hayasaka Ai. The image of them together lingered in her mind. Although convinced, she still felt a strange feeling.
Ren saw her distraction and was about to offer words of comfort, but an unexpected event occurred.

"...???" He could understand the Doomsday Game, but what was this Doom Companion?
"President..." Kaguya poked his arm, her gaze serious.
Ren understood. He concluded Kaguya had been chosen. He quickly scanned the others and noticed many of their expressions changed at the same time. This was truly special.
Ren crossed his hands. "Everyone, listen. Many of you should have seen something strange, right? If you saw it, please raise your hand."
The dining table fell silent. Kaguya was the first to raise her hand. Hayasaka Ai and Nao also followed. After a few seconds, Erina and the others also raised their hands.
"Tsk, all of them were chosen?" Ren clicked his tongue. Is a group of ordinary people meant to increase the difficulty?
"Um... Mr. Ren, is the strange thing you mentioned that screen that suddenly appeared?" Erina was eager to know.
Ren sighed and nodded. "That’s right. Congratulations on recognizing the reality of the world. The Doomsday Game truly exists."
