Chapter 80: The Two Tenants—A Teacher and Her Star Pupil
"Give me your phone. Add me on Line. Since you call me 'Onii-san,' feel free to reach out anytime."
Yukima Azuma held out his hand to Hayasaka Ai.
With a faint sigh, Ai handed over her personal phone, and the two exchanged contact information.
If any other guy had tried something like this, Ai would've already knocked him flat. But Azuma wasn't just any boy—he was stronger, sharper, and somehow always a few steps ahead. Even if she didn't fully accept him as her "uncle," she couldn't bring herself to treat him like a stranger anymore.
Before turning to leave, Azuma gently patted her head.
Her hair fluttered under his hand.
Not a bad feeling, he thought.
As he walked away, Ai noticed a certain someone staring at her.
Kaguya's crimson eyes were locked onto her, filled with silent scrutiny.
"...Kaguya-sama? Is there something you want to ask?"
Kaguya tilted her head slightly, still watching.
