Ti moved toward late night.
After Eris left with Aqua, the atmosphere in the restaurant gradually returned to calm.
Ainz, Rimuru, and Fafnir started gaming again. As for Saitama, Genos kept clinging to him the entire ti.
Genos called him "Sensei" again and again, and Saitama no longer intended to keep correcting him, since it was completely useless.
Perhaps because of his chanical modifications, Genos was stubbornly similar to a machine in many ways.
His personality was straightforward, and the things he said were occasionally unpleasant to hear.
He very much wanted to know Saitama's thod for becoming stronger.
Saitama had simply repeated it many tis, but Genos did not seem to believe him.
Watching the two go back and forth, Yuto found it sowhat comical.
He knew Saitama's training thod, back then, he had tried it for a while before giving up.
Now he was curious about just how strong Saitama was for Genos to keep asking so incessantly.
If there was ever a chance, he definitely wanted to see it.
A sound ca from the counter, and Yuto looked over.
Kaguya and her maid had stood up.
"Are you leaving?" Yuto asked the two with a smile.
Kaguya, whose expression had remained calm while chatting with Reiko, turned a little red and nodded slightly stiffly.
Beside her, Hayasaka looked completely helpless, her expression resembling that of a parent looking at their disappointing child!
"Thank you for your hospitality tonight, Boss," Hayasaka bowed slightly.
Her manners and conduct were flawless as always.
"No, I should be the one thanking you for coming," Yuto said with a gentle smile.
Hayasaka's eyes moved slightly, making an expression as though she had suddenly thought of sothing.
"By the way, since the Boss and Kaguya-sama are friends now, why not exchange phone numbers? That would make it easier to contact each other. In the future, if the Boss has anything he would like Kaguya-sama help with, you can simply call her directly."
There was a faint curve at the corner of Hayasaka's mouth.
Kaguya's expression turned shocked, as though she had heard sothing extrely embarrassing.
A blush instantly flew across her cheeks, and her eyes revealed a nervous, awkward, and shy light, making her look extrely adorable.
"That's fine with . As for Kaguya-san, would that be all right?" Yuto froze slightly before smiling and nodding.
Hayasaka imdiately nudged her young lady in a place Yuto could not see.
"I believe Kaguya-sama would agree," she said lightly, paired with her small movent, helping Kaguya regain a little composure.
Kaguya gave a sowhat forced light cough, looking toward Yuto.
"I suppose there's no helping it. After all, I did say before that you could ask for help. If you didn't know my phone number, that would be very troubleso. As... as friends, I'll agree."
Holding her hands behind her back, her body twisted slightly in conflicted embarrassnt.
Under the counter, her little feet kept tapping the floor.
On her fair face was a faint and beautiful blush.
This Kaguya was much cuter than her previous cold appearance!
Listening to her words, Hayasaka sighed helplessly again.
Her awkward young lady always made things very difficult for her.
"Mm," Yuto replied softly, taking out his phone.
Seeing this, Kaguya took out her own.
Yuto inevitably felt a little surprised.
He had not expected Kaguya to use such an old-fashioned flip phone.
Last ti, when Hayasaka had shown everyone a picture of Unyo Shinomiya, her phone had looked extrely expensive at a glance.
Yet Kaguya, who was above the maid, used such a simple device.
'Could this be the Shinomiya family's education in frugality?' he speculated inwardly.
"Eh? What's wrong?" Kaguya noticed him looking at her phone.
Her hesitation and confusion brought a trace of apology to Yuto's face.
"Sorry. I was just a little curious."
"Curious? Curious about what?" Kaguya asked in an innocent and dazed way.
"Ah~ I originally thought that the kind of phone a young lady like you would use would be one that made people feel they couldn't afford it at first glance. I didn't expect it to be this simple," Yuto said with so emotion, feeling apologetic about the stereotype in his heart.
"As for a phone, it's enough if it can be used to make calls. What else can it be used for?" Kaguya asked back, sowhat dazed.
This made Yuto respect her even more!
Among modern young people, how many could be like Kaguya and remain immune to the temptation of smart phones?
He couldn't help but think of Utaha.
Every ti he chatted with her, she was always there.
That girl seed to be playing with her phone every mont of every day.
She could not compare with Kaguya at all!
"You're right..... Kaguya-san really isn't an ordinary person."
"Eh?"
Yuto's words, carrying a hint of admiration, made Kaguya freeze.
Her intuition told her he seed to have misunderstood sothing, and she was sowhat confused.
Hayasaka sighed helplessly once again.
She knew very clearly that Yuto had misunderstood her mistress.
When Kaguya said "what else can it be used for," it was genuinely a simple question because she really did not know what else a phone could be used for besides making calls.
It was not at all what Yuto imagined.
But Hayasaka had no intention of explaining.
As a qualified maid, one had to know when to speak and when not to speak. Right now, Yuto's misunderstanding was actually beneficial.
If she explained now, it would pull her young lady's image down from soone with firm willpower to soone so ignorant that she did not even know how to use modern technology!
That would not do.
Just as Kaguya was about to ask Yuto whether he had misunderstood sothing, Hayasaka spoke.
She seized the timing and directly inserted herself into the topic.
"Why don't you exchange phone numbers with as well? That would make things more convenient too."
This was called attacking in the east while striking in the west!
Hayasaka's true goal was to divert their attention, because her young lady's "eh" just now had been far too obvious.
If she did not do this, Kaguya's ignorance would easily be exposed.
Moreover, by saying this, she could make the two of them focus their attention once again on exchanging phone numbers.
As a qualified maid, understanding a little strategy was necessary.
"Mm, all right," Yuto nodded and agreed to Hayasaka's suggestion.
The doubt he felt toward Kaguya's "eh" was temporarily set aside.
After that, Hayasaka efficiently took out her phone and exchanged numbers with him.
When Yuto use his phone, the screen was full of ssages from Utaha.
The corner of his mouth curved slightly as he ignored the ssages and saved Hayasaka's number.
The scene was completely taken in by Hayasaka, whose expression remained calm.
At that mont, the maid's heart stirred slightly!
Beside her, seeing Hayasaka and Yuto exchanging phone numbers, Kaguya couldn't help puffing out her cheeks.
She looked at her maid sowhat angrily, her eyes full of the aning, 'I was clearly first.'
Hayasaka naturally saw Kaguya's gaze.
She sighed, feeling sowhat wounded.
'No matter what one does, encountering a teammate whose brain doesn't work properly is an extrely painful tornt...' She decided to ignore her young lady's gaze.
She was really foolish!
"Kaguya-sama, the Boss is still waiting for you to exchange phone numbers." Although Hayasaka felt hurt inside, she still had to remind her.
Hearing her words, Kaguya hurriedly shifted her gaze, facing Yuto awkwardly.
"Sorry, Kamisaka-kun."
"It's fine," Yuto smiled, not minding at all.
He exchanged numbers with Kaguya as well.
After the exchange was complete, her expression clearly beca much happier.
She hugged her phone very preciously, as though she were holding so kind of treasure.
Hayasaka glanced sideways at her, took a deep breath, and bowed slightly to Yuto to say goodbye.
She then pulled the sowhat confused young lady out of the restaurant.
Once the two left, Yuto was t with certain people's gazes.
"Are your eyes uncomfortable? Or do you not want to eat here in the future?" Yuto smiled and looked at them.
Those people imdiately lowered their heads and continued playing gas.
Yuto helplessly let out a slight breath, then looked at his phone.
He had to see what Utaha had sent him.
If the "oh" he had sent before opening the restaurant had provoked the girl...
'Then that would really be satisfying~'
