Living with the Student Council President every day, Wu Yan's life had been truly fulfilling. Although all he did was cook for her and serve her tea, having such a beautiful anime girl constantly wandering around in front of him made him happier than he could say. At first, the Student Council President had only intended to give Wu Yan the title of butler. After all, she did not need or want one. If Wu Yan had not asked for it himself, he might not even have gotten the position. She had merely wanted to help the "homeless" Wu Yan.
However, after two or three days of Wu Yan's service, Hinagiku had gradually become unable to do without him. The reason was that in those two or three days, Wu Yan had conquered her... though only her stomach...
With the ability Culinary Arts Proficiency, Wu Yan's cooking was practically world-class. Whether it was brewing tea, cooking meals, or making pastries, he excelled at everything. In just two or three days, he had conquered the stomach of Hinagiku, who had once not cared about simple fare, and spoiled her palate as well.
With the mindset that to capture someone's heart, one must first capture their stomach, Wu Yan prepared dishes and desserts of different styles for Hinagiku every day. Not only had he successfully captured the Student Council President's stomach, but he had even fattened up Hinagiku's Mom a little.
Once he had conquered her stomach, could the person herself be far behind?
Wu Yan fantasized like this every day...
And so, three days passed amid the sometimes warm, sometimes rowdy interactions between Wu Yan and Hinagiku. That day, Hinagiku brought Wu Yan some good news.
With a smile, Hinagiku handed Wu Yan a document. "Congratulations, Yan. Starting tomorrow, you'll be a student at Hakuhou Academy."
It was finally here!
"Ding! Mission One completed! Received 1,000 Equipment Points, Item Points, Ability Points, and Summon Points each!" "Ding! Mission Two unlocked!" Instance World: Hayate the Combat Butler! Instance Mission: Eliminate! Mission One: Enter Hakuhou Academy and become a high school student of Hakuhou Academy; Mission Reward: 1,000 Equipment Points, Item Points, Ability Points, and Summon Points each; Mission Two: Slay the Ghost Leader located in the Old School Building of Hakuhou Academy; Mission Reward: 10,000 Equipment Points, Item Points, Ability Points, and Summon Points each; Mission Three: Not unlocked;
As Wu Yan accepted the document, a string of notifications rang out in his mind. He tried his best to put on a delighted expression, while his consciousness sank into the contents of those notifications...
Ghost Leader? What the hell was that? Was there really something like that in Hakuhou Academy's Old School Building?
Why had the original work never mentioned it? With so many people at Hakuhou Academy, had no one noticed there was a dead ghost in the Old School Building?
Then Wu Yan suddenly remembered. In the original work, there seemed to have been an incident related to this. One night, Ayasaki Hayate had entered the Old School Building by mistake while trying to retrieve something Sanjouin Nagi had left at school, and he and Hinagiku, who had come after hearing the sounds, were chased by a ghost.
But in truth, this so-called ghost was merely a dead object animated by the Luzhinomiya Family's genius spirit exorcist, Luzhinomiya Isumi, using a spell. She had done it to scare Ayasaki Hayate and Hinagiku away. Well, although she had ultimately acted airheaded and been seen through by Ayasaki Hayate, he did not expose Luzhinomiya Isumi and instead ran away with Hinagiku.
And the reason Luzhinomiya Isumi had tried to scare Ayasaki Hayate and Hinagiku away was to prevent the upcoming exorcism ritual from accidentally harming them!
Could the spirit Luzhinomiya Isumi had exorcised in the Old School Building in the original work have been this so-called Ghost Leader?
Sigh, why wasn't this a mission about picking up girls? All the other protagonists got missions like that...
