"Onii-chan, you're back. And these people are...?"
The suspicion in Ai Hayasaka's heart vanished the moment she saw Umaru in her chibi form. No matter how awful Sogo Doma could be, he wouldn't possibly show it in front of such a tiny, adorable child, would he? Especially when she was calling him Onii-chan!
Sure enough, she hadn't been wrong from the start. Young Master Doma's suggestion that they come to his home had been a test—or rather, a countermeasure. Fortunately, she had seen through it. Young Master Doma thought Ai Hayasaka was on the first floor while he was on the second, never realizing that she was on the fifth!
"So cute..." No wonder Ai Hayasaka was so confident. Umaru in her chibi form was simply too adorable. Even Kaguya Shinomiya was having trouble holding herself back. Th-this adorable little girl actually called that bastard Doma Onii-chan? Why? She wanted to say something. "I-I..."
However, this was her first time encountering such an adorable creature, and she didn't know what to say. Even her movements seemed awkward and uncertain. But that was hardly surprising. After all, the Shinomiya Family's teachings held that there were only two kinds of things in this world: things that could be used, and things that were useless. To the Shinomiya Family, adorable creatures were living beings with absolutely no value--
Naturally, Kaguya Shinomiya had never come into contact with one.

Kaguya Shinomiya took half a step back. "..."
Wh-why was she so cute? W-would she scare her?
"..." Thankfully, Ai Hayasaka was there. Knowing Kaguya Shinomiya
