"..." As for Mashiro Shiina, Ai Hayasaka felt rather awkward. "Um, I don't think the Shiina Family's eldest daughter would draw Service. I looked into it afterward, and it was just an ordinary shojo manga. The Service Club was also a club that helped people fulfill their wishes. Most importantly, that young lady from the Shiina Family was rather lacking in common sense..."
Was this what one expected from the Shinomiya Family?
"Lacking in common sense!?"
"Mm..." Ai Hayasaka nodded. "This was information I found through internal channels. Apparently, because that young lady from the Shiina Family was obsessed with painting, she paid little attention to anything in reality. She only had one friend overseas, named Rita..."
Kaguya Shinomiya: "..."
She could make friends despite having no common sense?
"And..." Before she could say anything, Ai Hayasaka turned serious. "In my opinion, that Rita she called a friend didn't seem like Miss Shiina's friend at all..."
"What do you mean?"
"You know about Mashiro Shiina's accomplishments, don't you, my lady...?"
"Mm..." It was precisely because she knew that Kaguya Shinomiya hadn't initially connected Mashiro with the legendary Mashiro. She was a genius painter said to stand shoulder to shoulder with Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci.
"Perhaps because those accomplishments were simply too astounding, Rita... Rita was also a painter, and a rather talented one at that. But in front of Miss Shiina, her talent was like a joke, so she turned dark..."
"Turned dark?"
"That's right. Rita noticed that Miss Shiina liked manga, so she led her into the manga industry. However, she hadn't expected that a genius would be a genius anywhere. Miss Shiina's very first submission received attention, and afterward, she came here and met Young Master Doma..."
"Fiancée?"
"Does my lady think they are?" Ai Hayasaka
