Kaguya was downstairs and could come up at any moment, so this Hayasaka was quite well-behaved, maintaining a distance from Amamiya Natsuki to avoid getting carried away, forgetting the time, and ultimately getting caught red-handed.
A small impatience ruins a great plan.
"Senpai, I'll go downstairs first. Kaguya will probably be up soon."
After talking for a while, Hayasaka Ai uninstalled the Skin Card, waved her hand, and pushed the door open to go downstairs.
Amamiya Natsuki remained in the room, continuing to endure the Bad Luck status.
It had to be said, although Time Stop was only a short second, it was quite useful.
Catching flies with bare hands was just a routine operation; he would never have to worry about food falling on the ground again.
Amamiya Natsuki even felt that with good control, dodging bullets with his body wouldn't be a problem.
When he added more agility attributes later, ten times in a second would be no problem at all.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The Bad Luck duration finally ended.
Amamiya Natsuki got up to stretch his muscles and bones, preparing to go downstairs.
Just then, his phone vibrated gently.
Amamiya Natsuki looked down; it was a message from Sayu, who was far away in Hokkaido.
Sayu: "Father, what are you doing?"
Amamiya Natsuki: "Spacing out."
Sayu: "I want to space out with Father."
This Sayu chirped, and a new message quickly arrived: "I bought presents for everyone in Hokkaido. Yuuko and Sadako-san also have some. Father, remember to give them to them."
Amamiya Natsuki: "I know."
Sayu: "See you next week."
Amamiya Natsuki: "???"
Sayu: "Eh heh~ It's a secret for now."
"..."
After chatting with Sayu for a while, Amamiya Natsuki put away his phone and went downstairs.
Having not walked the dog for several days, the silly dog came over, wagging its tail and holding the leash in its mouth.
Amamiya Natsuki, having nothing else to do, took the dog for two laps in the park. Unconsciously, the sky darkened.
On the way home, he happened to encounter Miko, who was tearfully returning from her part-time job.
"Natsuki!"
Seeing Amamiya Natsuki, Miko, teary-eyed, scurried over.
Beside Miko, an Evil Spirit covered in eyes followed closely, occasionally sticking out its tongue and licking the air.
Amamiya Natsuki decisively activated Evil Spirit Banishing, expelling the Evil Spirit: "Why does it feel like there are more and more Evil Spirits?"
Watching the Evil Spirit burn to ashes in the flames, Miko wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "They are indeed becoming more numerous. Before, I would only encounter three to five Evil Spirits every day, but now it's at least doubled."
The increasing number of Evil Spirits in the real world was undoubtedly a bad sign.
It was a shame that Amamiya Natsuki, although a player, was not privy to the inside story.
Reaching out, Amamiya Natsuki gently ruffled Miko's beautiful hair and said softly:
"Come over and sleep together tonight."
Miko, teary-eyed, agreed.
Earlier, when she heard such shameless words as "date together," Miko had been sulking, thinking that she would never go to sleep together again.
Her childhood friend was actually a harem scumbag, and he shamelessly declared, "I want them all." Of course, she should cut off ties directly and never see him again.
But despite her sulking, Miko now only wanted to quickly reach nightfall and then sneak over to sleep together.
There were Evil Spirits under the bed, Evil Spirits in the wardrobe, Evil Spirits in the covers, Evil Spirits on the ceiling... Life couldn't be lived for even a day!
Dinner time.
Miko, as usual, was responsible for cooking.
Amamiya Natsuki didn't watch TV outside today; he walked into the kitchen to help wash ingredients and looked at Miko, saying:
"After dinner, don't rush back. Try making some Witch Potion."
"Eh?"
Miko was startled and turned to look at him, confused.
"Why would I make something like that?"
Amamiya Natsuki said softly:
"Witch Potion is very popular, but the production process is complicated, and it's always in short supply. Try making some today. If you can succeed, I'll buy each bottle of Witch Potion you make for three thousand yen."
Miko's eyes widened in shock, and she quickly shook her head, saying, "Three thousand yen is too much!"
Amamiya Natsuki waved his hand and said:
"I'm talking about the acquisition price for potions that are certified by the game."
Miko still shook her head: "That's still too much..."
Taking Miko's part-time job at the Convenience Store as an example, her hourly wage was only one thousand yen. Only those working the late-night shift had a slightly higher hourly wage, about one thousand two hundred fifty yen.
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Do you know how much one bottle of Witch Potion sells for?"
"I know."
Miko nodded. Although she wasn't a player, she had joined the mutual aid group from the beginning and was one of the veterans.
"One bottle of potion is ten thousand yen."
Amamiya Natsuki then asked:
"Then do you know the cost of the raw materials?"
Miko shook her head.
Amamiya Natsuki held up two fingers and said:
"Less than two thousand yen."
Miko's eyes immediately widened: "With a cost of two thousand yen, you actually sell it for that much?"
"That's how monopoly industries are."
Amamiya Natsuki shrugged and said, "Actually, I originally planned to sell one bottle of Witch Potion for twenty thousand yen, but unfortunately, my conscience wasn't black enough."
Miko: "...Capitalists really should all be hung from lampposts!"
"..."
After dinner.
Miko re-entered the kitchen and began attempting to make the Witch Potion.
She had already figured it out.
There was no reason not to earn money from a black-hearted capitalist.
Of course, the premise was that she could successfully make the potion...
Amamiya Natsuki followed her into the kitchen and guided her on the details and key points of making the potion.
Miko was careful and obediently followed his instructions.
An hour later.
The black medicinal liquid was poured into specially ordered porcelain bottles.
"How is it?"
Miko nervously clutched her apron with her fingers, looking over.
Amamiya Natsuki picked up the Witch Potion and quickly nodded, saying:
"The game has given its certification. Witch Potion, successfully made."
"Phew..."
Miko sighed in relief, then felt a bit skeptical, "Natsuki, you didn't trick me, did you?"
Because she wasn't a player, Miko couldn't see the game's appraisal content.
"Kaguya-san."
Amamiya Natsuki walked to the kitchen door and waved to Kaguya.
"Come here for a moment."
Shinomiya Kaguya walked over curiously: "What's wrong?"
"Miko suspects I'm lying."
Amamiya Natsuki handed over the Witch Potion.
"You appraise it and see if it was successfully made."
Shinomiya Kaguya nodded slightly, took the Witch Potion, and quickly looked at Miko, saying:
"It was indeed successfully made."
Hearing Kaguya's words, Miko finally believed it. Kaguya-san naturally possessed a trustworthy aura: "Thank you, Kaguya."
Amamiya Natsuki said speechlessly:
"That's too much. You don't believe me, but you believe everything Kaguya-san says?"
Miko heard this and rolled her eyes: "Kaguya-san's character is much more trustworthy than yours."
"..."
After the Witch Potion was successfully test-produced, Miko's part-time job was finalized. At Amamiya Natsuki's insistence, it was still purchased for three thousand yen a bottle.
"I'm going home."
Miko waved, taking her younger brother out to go home.
10:30 PM.
Miko, who had already returned home, secretly slipped back out in her pajamas.
Kaguya, Hayasaka Ai, Miko, plus Mrs. Shimizu, don't even think about bullying anyone.
Amamiya Natsuki honestly read and studied.
In a flash, it was midnight.
"Natsuki-kun~ Time's up."
Mrs. Shimizu put down her phone and came over to act spoiled right on time.
Compared to the Theater domain, Yurikawa Hana, whom he used to like so much, was no longer as appealing; he only wanted to be close to her on the way to school.
Hayasaka Ai's spirits lifted, and she also looked over expectantly.
Even now, she had never witnessed the Yandere the Young Lady, so her heart was naturally full of curiosity.
The Theater opened.
The rules were still set as Kakegurui, and those who lost had to do sit-ups. This way, those who didn't want to play mahjong, like Miko-chan, could sleep and rest peacefully.
"Master!"
The loli maid was always the first to wait eagerly, with extremely low sense of security.
Hayasaka Ai looked back curiously and soon saw Miss Sadako with her black hair covering her face, followed by the Man-faced dog. Her gaze swept past and quickly landed on the Yandere Kaguya standing at the very back.
"It's clearly the same person, right?"
The Spy Maid's beautiful eyes widened slightly, marveling in her heart.
The Yandere Kaguya looked exactly like Kaguya, wearing a black dress, her hair not tied up but hanging behind her shoulders, expressionless. In her wine-red eyes, there was a cold indifference to everything in the world...
Hayasaka Ai quickly reacted.
This was clearly the Ice Princess Kaguya before she met the sesshou senpai.
Although her senpai liked lewd things, was a playboy, and even thought about having a harem, Hayasaka Ai strongly supported him in turning Ice Princess Kaguya into the current the Sheltered the Young Lady.
"Mahjong... playing mahjong..."
Miss Sadako's expectant voice came from beneath her black hair.
At some point, this Miss Sadako had completely devolved into a mahjong Girl.
"Why isn't Sayu here?" The Man-faced dog looked left and right, asking in confusion.
Amamiya Natsuki looked down and said:
"I'm back in Tokyo, Sayu stayed in Hokkaido."
"Huh?" The Man-faced dog raised its voice, "What is Sayu doing in a place like that?"
"Sayu was secretive and wouldn't say." Amamiya Natsuki reached out and stroked the dog's head, saying, "But she sent me a message in the evening, saying she bought you a gift, and the express delivery should arrive tomorrow."
"Damn it, take your hand off, don't touch my head!"
"As a master, it's only natural to stroke your pet's head, isn't it?"
"..."
As they spoke, the Yandere Kaguya stepped forward, her gaze falling on Amamiya Natsuki.
"What do you want to do?" Shinomiya Kaguya flashed forward, blocking Amamiya Natsuki, extremely vigilant, "Don't even think about launching another sneak attack!"
"Heh." The Yandere Kaguya crossed her arms, tilted her head and looked over, her voice equally sweet and pleasant, but with a hint of chill, "Is there a problem with me kissing my own husband?"
"Hu-husband... You're shameless!" Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face quickly flushed, and she couldn't help but retort, "That day was clearly just an illusion, it wasn't a real marriage!"
To call him 'husband' in front of so many people, she wasn't that shameless!
"An illusion is not a hallucination." The Yandere Kaguya tilted her head and looked over, "According to you, is the Theater domain also a hallucination?"
"You're twisting words!"
"Heh, you're clearly at a loss for words."
"..."
"Let's go, let's go." Amamiya Natsuki took the opportunity to slip away, completely unwilling to get involved in the romantic battlefield, "Let's go play mahjong quickly."
Hayasaka Ai leaned closer and whispered in his ear, saying:
"Senpai, you've worked hard, but you don't deserve any sympathy at all."
"Huh?" Amamiya Natsuki turned to look, "I don't deserve sympathy?"
Hayasaka Ai said as a matter of course:
"Since you, senpai Scumbag, want to create a harem, the romantic battlefield is something you must face. If you can't handle it, it's what you deserve to be torn apart by everyone."
After a pause, Hayasaka Ai changed the subject, her eyes curving: "However, I've thought of a method that will definitely work."
"What method?"
"Apologize on your hands and knees. Don't get up until we forgive you."
Your sister! This was clearly the experience he had taught the Chainsaw Boy!
"..."
Miko hadn't slept well during this period and was really too sleepy, constantly yawning. After all, she wasn't a player and didn't have that much stamina.
Amamiya Natsuki arranged for Miko to rest in the little maid's room, and then the others played mahjong together.
The night passed uneventfully.
In a flash, it was dawn.
Before it ended, Amamiya Natsuki was again held down and forcibly kissed by the Yandere Kaguya in front of everyone, making Kaguya furious.
"I'm going back."
Miko hugged her schoolbag and quietly slipped out to go home.
Amamiya Natsuki had rested for a few hours last night and was full of energy now. After his stamina increased, the amount of sleep he needed was significantly shorter, so he simply went out to walk the dog.
"I'm going too."
The the Sheltered the Young Lady huffed and puffed, stepping to follow.
Holding Amamiya Natsuki's hand, she walked two laps in the park before finally calming down a bit.
In a flash, it was 7:30 AM.
After eating the breakfast prepared by Hayasaka Ai, everyone went out to school together. On the way, Hayasaka Ai made an excuse to slip away and ran back to change clothes.
"Yurikawa-chan!"
Mrs. Shimizu smiled happily, embracing the golden-haired and radiant Yurikawa, playing a game of sticking together.
Having seen it too many times, Miko was already used to it.
"Miko-chan, your dark circles are much better today." Yurikawa Hana's voice was clear, and she asked curiously, "You also seem to have much more energy."
Miko: "...That's because I slept until dawn and wasn't startled anymore."
Amamiya Natsuki said from the side: "Miko-chan had been suffering from insomnia for the past few days, which is why she had dark circles."
"Eh, what does insomnia feel like?" Yurikawa Hana bit into her bread, her cheeks puffing out, "I don't think I've ever had insomnia."
"Stop talking, we can't talk about this topic anymore."
"..."
They arrived at school.
The few of them went their separate ways.
Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya went to the Student Council together to handle daily affairs.
"President, good morning." Kashiwagi was diligent and conscientious, arriving the earliest.
"Good morning." Amamiya Natsuki nodded in response.
As soon as he sat down behind the desk, Kashiwagi walked over: "President, I just received a form from the teacher. Someone wants to transfer here, and they want us to handle the transfer procedures."
Amamiya Natsuki said casually:
"Summer vacation is almost here, why would someone transfer now?"
"I don't know." Kashiwagi shook her head, "But the person in the photo is a very cute beautiful girl, you know."
Amamiya Natsuki heard this and glanced at the transfer student's application form, his gaze instantly freezing.
Your sister!
The cute girl in the photo, with a bright smile and making a peace sign, who else could it be but Sayu!
She said she'd stay in Hokkaido, so it was to handle the transfer procedures all along!
"I see." Amamiya Natsuki took the form speechlessly, "I'll deal with it later."
The stricter the school, the more troublesome the transfer procedures. For example, Sayu had to take a special exam before transferring... In short, it would still take some time, and the transfer couldn't be completed immediately.
Then there were the club activity assessment forms, activity fund applications, the Linjian School plan... Thankfully, Kaguya was there to help, otherwise, it would really exhaust a person to death.
The morning ended in a flurry of activity.
In a flash, it was lunchtime.
Amamiya Natsuki went to the school Cafeteria to eat.
"Natsuki-senpai!"
Just as he had taken his meal and sat down, a clear and familiar shout suddenly rang out from behind him.
Amamiya Natsuki turned to look. The speaker was wearing a junior high uniform, had a chubby little face, and pink hair just like Chika's. She looked full of energy, and she was Chika's younger sister, Fujiwara Moeha.
"Moeha?" Amamiya Natsuki asked curiously, "Why are you eating in the Cafeteria?"
"My friend said she wanted to eat the grilled eel from the Cafeteria." Fujiwara Moeha's voice was clear and full of energy, "So I came with her."
Amamiya Natsuki looked at the little girl behind Moeha. Her expression was slightly dazed, and she had deep panda eyes, which made people look at her twice.
Fujiwara Moeha blinked, tiptoed closer, and whispered:
"Little Hana is very cute, isn't she? Do you want me to introduce her to Senpai?"
"No need." Amamiya Natsuki withdrew his gaze and said, "Moeha is cuter."
"Eh heh~"
Hearing the compliment, Fujiwara Moeha's little face immediately bloomed into a bright smile. She pulled her friend and ran to get their food, "Senpai, wait for me."
Amamiya Natsuki picked up his chopsticks and ate quietly.
Although he had already decided not to be a good person, he would never lay a hand on a junior high student, let alone Chika's younger sister—Juju was a legal loli, already seventeen years old, so bullying her was no problem.
The same applied to Mrs. Shimizu; she was the young lady's mother. This was not a world where everyone's intelligence dropped, and Kaguya would absolutely not tolerate or accept something like a mother-daughter combo.
"Senpai, we're here."
Fujiwara Moeha brought her best friend and sat opposite Amamiya Natsuki.
"Senpai, that fried chicken looks delicious." Fujiwara Moeha widened her eyes, her gaze full of anticipation.
Amamiya Natsuki pushed his plate over speechlessly: "Help yourself."
"Eh heh, thank you, Senpai." Fujiwara Moeha unceremoniously picked up two pieces of fried chicken, one for herself and one for her friend, then raised her chin and said, "Senpai, have a piece of eel."
Amamiya Natsuki shook his head: "No."
Fujiwara Moeha said earnestly: "Reciprocity is the family motto of Fujiwara."
You've had so many close encounters with your sister, but I've never heard of this family rule!
Amamiya Natsuki was helpless and reached out to pick up a piece of eel.
"Senpai, Senpai, how does it taste?"
"Delicious."
"Eh heh heh~"
This Moeha, like Chika, is a socialite with an enthusiastic and cheerful personality, chatting non-stop while eating.
"Chika said she's been having nightmares recently." Fujiwara Moeha took a sip of cola and gossiped, "Every night a woman appears in her dreams. She can't see what she looks like. At first, she was outside the house, then she got a little closer every day, and now she's at Chika's bedroom door. There are other people in the classroom who say their dreams are exactly like Chika's, and some even saw the woman's face. It sounds real."
The junior high school girl looked up, her panda eyes deep, her tone frightened, and her expression aggrieved:
"I really didn't lie…"
