"Natsuki, your clothes are washed." Kitagawa Marin's voice sounded from outside. "I'm going back."
Amamiya Natsuki sat in the bathtub and turned his head. "Do you want to come in and bathe together?"
"One hundred percent no, I don't want to."
"Cough, cough…"
Sayu covered her mouth and coughed, hearing Marin close the door and leave. She quickly got up to escape the bathroom.
"Wait a moment," Amamiya Natsuki reminded in a low voice, "You forgot your clothes."
Sayu snapped back to reality, quickly hugged her clothes, her pretty face so red it looked like it could drip blood. Dizzily, she turned and fled.
Bang.
The door closed.
Amamiya Natsuki looked up at the bathroom ceiling and began to reflect on himself.
Such wavering willpower was truly embarrassing.
No, the same mistake must not be made a third time!
It was now eleven-thirty at night.
A knock on the door sounded again.
Amamiya Natsuki changed his clothes and opened the door. The girl knocking was, naturally, Sayu.
"Papa, are we leaving now?"
Seeing Amamiya Natsuki still in the room, Sayu quietly breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice.
Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:
"It's about time. Let's go."
The night was deep.
The long street was cold and desolate.
Only a silver moon hung high in the night sky, casting endless clear light.
After leaving the Love Hotel, the road was exceptionally deserted; no other pedestrians were seen.
"The trams and subways have stopped running this late," Sayu said softly, "Papa, should we take a taxi?"
Amamiya Natsuki shook his head and said:
"Taking a taxi might leave clues. It would be troublesome if we were traced."
Hearing this, Sayu immediately tensed up, quickly hugged Amamiya Natsuki's arm, and bit her lip, saying, "Papa, don't do anything criminal."
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth—Sayu was actually very grateful, but she absolutely did not want Amamiya Natsuki to commit a crime for her sake.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
Amamiya Natsuki reassured her, then turned and walked to the back of the Love Hotel, pushing a bicycle out from a corner.
"Eh?" Sayu was startled and said in surprise, "How is there a bicycle?"
"I came out after my bath and found a high school student cycling past. I rented this bicycle from him," Amamiya Natsuki explained clearly. There was nothing Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't solve. After speaking, he patted the back seat, "Get on."
"Oh…"
Sayu walked up to the bicycle, reached out to cover her skirt, and sat sideways on the bicycle, gently gripping Amamiya Natsuki's clothes around his waist.
As for the law prohibiting carrying passengers on a bicycle… as long as they weren't caught by the police, there was no problem.
"Papa, I'm ready," Sayu-chan said softly.
"Then let's go."
Amamiya Natsuki pushed off with his foot, and the bicycle shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, swiftly disappearing into the night.
The night had been somewhat stuffy, but once the bicycle started moving, a cool evening breeze immediately swept over them, whistling in their ears.
Sayu's hair was disheveled. She watched the various buildings rapidly receding beside them, and the Japan signs streaking into dazzling lines of light in the night. She couldn't help but wrap her arms around Amamiya Natsuki's waist, pressing her cheek tightly against Amamiya Natsuki's back.
The wind whistled in her ears, but the warmth and heat emanating from Amamiya Natsuki quietly calmed Sayu's heart.
No matter what the future held, when they would part, or when they would reunite.
At least at this moment, Sayu genuinely felt happiness and warmth, wanting to rely and wanting to be pampered.
Slightly raising her head, she looked at Amamiya Natsuki's hair gently swaying in the evening breeze, his handsome profile, his high nose bridge, and his slightly pursed lips. Sayu-chan quietly hugged him a little tighter, secretly releasing the emotions in her heart.
Twenty minutes later.
Amamiya Natsuki stopped the bicycle in a residential area. "We're here."
Sayu finally opened her eyes, blushing as she lightly jumped off the bicycle. She looked at the name 'Yamada' on the door of the detached house, gently biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth.
The girl named Yamada was one of the two girls they had encountered that afternoon and the ringleader of her takes advantage of at campus.
At this moment, the entire house was already dark, apparently everyone was asleep.
Yuuko's parents were sleepless through the night, yet the culprit rested peacefully… The joys and sorrows of people are never connected.
Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone and checked the time. It was a little past eleven-fifty: "Just a few more minutes."
"In a few more minutes, it will be twelve o'clock," Sayu-chan blinked, finally realizing, "Papa, are you perhaps thinking of…?"
"That's right, it's to summon the Man-faced dog," Amamiya Natsuki looked at Sayu, "Since we're seeking revenge, it's more fitting for Yuuko to do it."
Sayu was a little worried: "What if Yuuko hurts them…?"
Amamiya Natsuki said righteously: "Urban kaidan crime, what does it have to do with me?"
Sayu: "…"
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. As the victim, you should do what a victim does," Amamiya Natsuki changed the subject, "By the way, why is your most terrifying image the Man-faced dog?"
"It's very easy for fog to form in Sapporo in the autumn, especially in the mornings and evenings," Sayu-chan raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and said softly, "One morning, I was going to campus alone, and there was a very thick fog. When I passed through a small alley, I suddenly saw a dog wearing a wig run out of the alley. I was really scared to death at the time, thinking I had encountered an urban legend. That's when the psychological shadow was left."
After a pause, Sayu continued:
"Now that I think about it, it was either an accident—that stray dog found a wig in a garbage heap and accidentally put it on its head—or someone played a prank… Anyway, it was super scary."
After speaking in a low voice for a while, Amamiya Natsuki glanced at his phone and said:
"Time's up."
Taking out the rule card and activating the Theater, with the scene set as a dark campus, Amamiya Natsuki and Sayu went into the yard and pulled everyone into the Theater.
"Master!"
The maid loli always ran over first, as if afraid of being abandoned.
"Who are we scaring today?" Jinmenken walked over, shaking her head, and said enthusiastically, "I'll make them know what fear is."
Amamiya Natsuki shook his head and said, "We didn't go to the Love Hotel today."
"Boring," Jinmenken was immediately disappointed, "I'm going back to sleep."
Amamiya Natsuki said unhurriedly:
"This is Hokkaido, Sapporo City."
Jinmenken paused, turned to look at the girl beside Amamiya Natsuki, and walked over: "Sayu-chan? What are you doing in Sapporo?"
Sayu hesitated for two seconds, just about to tell the truth, when a panicked shout suddenly echoed through the campus.
"What is this place?"
The guilty girl who had been pulled into the Theater had already woken up.
Jinmenken looked over at the sound, saw the girl in the campus courtyard, and a red glow quickly surged in her eyes: "I'm going to eat her!!!"
Human Yuuko was a timid girl, otherwise, she wouldn't have been taken advantage of. Jinmenken was different; although she had human memories, she also possessed the violent nature of a kaidan. Now that enemies met, her eyes immediately turned red with fury.
