"Shall we go play at the sea for a while, and then go eat?"
Fujiwara Chika raised her hand and suggested.
"Mm-hmm, I want to play too." Kitagawa Marin followed, "Everyone spent so long choosing swimsuits, and we only caught jellyfish and sea nettles. It feels like such a waste not to go swimming."
Sayu voted in favor: "Marin-chan is right."
The senpai nodded: "Then let's go play for a while."
The girls chattered about going swimming at the sea, and Amamiya Natsuki's opinion naturally wasn't important.
Soon, the girls quickly reached a consensus and set off for a normal beach where there were no jellyfish.
No words along the way.
Upon arriving at the normal beach, because it was already dark and the wind and waves had grown stronger, there were almost no tourists left on the beach.
The girls cheered and took off their coats, ready to swim.
Amamiya Natsuki had been in the sea for an hour and didn't want to go back in the water at all. He just wanted to rest for a while. He suddenly noticed Hayasaka Ai sitting alone on a bench by the shore, so he walked over.
"Why aren't you swimming?"
Amamiya Natsuki sat down next to Hayasaka.
"My swimming skills are too poor, so I don't want to swim." Hayasaka Ai was wearing a white shirt and hadn't even taken off her coat. She tilted her head while eating an ice cream and said, "Why isn't pervert Senpai swimming? Maybe someone will give you benefits like Lady Kaguya."
This was a lie.
The truth was that this Hayasaka's junior character was that of a busty girl. Once she took off her clothes, she would immediately reveal her true form and form the Flat-Chested Girl Quartet with Yuki, Kaguya, and Juju.
Amamiya Natsuki leaned back on the bench and said:
"Take off your coat, and I'll believe you."
"I'm sorry, but please allow me to refuse." Hayasaka Ai covered her chest and activated refusal mode. "Senpai asks a girl to take off her coat as soon as he comes, too hasty, too frivolous, it will only make girls disgusted."
"I'm truly sorry for being so frivolous." Amamiya Natsuki said expressionlessly, "I worked hard in the sea for an hour, racking my brains to protect your young lady. What do you think should be my reward?"
Hayasaka Ai clicked her tongue: "Pervert Senpai is actually trying to take advantage of his kindness, how excessive."
Amamiya Natsuki didn't care and said:
"Isn't it even more excessive to not repay kindness?"
"Tch." Hayasaka Ai snorted softly, "What does pervert Senpai want to do?"
Amamiya Natsuki didn't speak, his gaze shifting to the spy maid's lips.
This Hayasaka had just eaten ice cream, and her lips looked pink and tender, especially tempting.
Before, in the sea, he had to worry about jellyfish and Portuguese man-of-war, and he also cared about Shimizu. Amamiya Natsuki couldn't do anything. Now that there was no one else around, it would be normal for the maid to repay the kindness on behalf of her master, right?
Noticing Amamiya Natsuki's gaze, Hayasaka Ai stuck out her pink tongue, like a cat, gently licking the ice cream, and then said:
"Pervert Senpai, did you kiss the young lady in the sea before? Please tell the truth."
Amamiya Natsuki told the truth:
"No."
The waves rose and fell, and it was already difficult to steady his body, so there was no chance to do anything else.
"Then forget it." Disappointment appeared on Hayasaka Ai's pretty face, "Suddenly I'm not interested anymore."
Amamiya Natsuki: "…"
If I kissed her, and then came over to kiss you, you would be willing to agree?
What a terrible perverted hobby!
"I misspoke just now." Amamiya Natsuki said seriously, "Actually, I kissed Kaguya."
Hayasaka Ai tilted her head and looked over, kicking him lightly: "Pervert Senpai, boys who lie will never get to do 'that' in their lives."
Amamiya Natsuki was about to speak when he suddenly frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the spy maid's thigh.
This Hayasaka was wearing a short-sleeved coat on top, but only a pair of swimming trunks on the bottom. At this moment, there was clearly a red scar the size of a coin on her snow-white and rounded thigh.
Noticing Amamiya Natsuki's gaze, Hayasaka Ai pursed her pink lips and was about to pull her leg back.
Pa.
Amamiya Natsuki reached out and pressed down on Hayasaka's thigh, raising his eyebrows and saying:
"What's going on with your leg?"
Hayasaka Ai said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, a mosquito bit me."
"Such a big scar, and you say it's a mosquito." Amamiya Natsuki looked over calmly and said in a deep voice, "Let a mosquito bite you again and let me see."
Hayasaka Ai: "…"
"It was a jellyfish." Hayasaka Ai pursed her pink lips and said softly, "Before, on the kayak, the wind and waves were strong, and then I touched a jellyfish."
No matter how careful you are, accidents can still happen. Amamiya Natsuki didn't say why she wasn't more careful. He just said softly:
"Does it hurt?"
Hayasaka Ai: "… It hurts a little."
Amamiya Natsuki said: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"How could I say it?" Hayasaka Ai glared over unhappily, "Ever since we came ashore, there have been so many girls around pervert Senpai, do I have the right to speak?"
"Are you jealous?"
"Tch, anyway, I'm just a maid, I don't have the right to be jealous, right?"
Amamiya Natsuki said in a low voice: "Maids don't let their masters lick their feet."
Hayasaka Ai's pretty face couldn't help but turn red: "Isn't it because Senpai is too perverted? You can actually do it!"
Amamiya Natsuki didn't feel ashamed at all: "I have even more perverted things I haven't done, do you want to try?"
"Bah!"
The spy maid's fair and doll-like cheeks quickly flushed red, like a touch of rouge spreading out. She didn't know what she was thinking, "Pervert Senpai, go away! If you really do such a perverted thing, don't even think about kissing me in the future! Or anyone else!"
Amamiya Natsuki pondered: "What about Kaguya?"
Hayasaka Ai hesitated for two seconds: "… She can't either!"
Amamiya Natsuki said: "You hesitated just now."
"Shut up!" Hayasaka Ai glared over shyly, "Pervert Senpai, take your hand away quickly!"
"Don't move." Amamiya Natsuki's right hand was still on Hayasaka's thigh, rubbing and kneading. He said seriously, "I'm helping you treat and relieve it."
Jellyfish are indeed poisonous, but generally speaking, they are not fatal. There are no terrible marine creatures around the islands of Japan that can directly poison people to death. The danger of Kaguya's extreme challenge lies in the fact that she is not allowed to go ashore once the challenge begins and must stay in the sea all the time.
Ordinary people will go ashore immediately after being stung by a jellyfish. Challengers cannot go ashore and are constantly attacked by jellyfish. This is where the danger lies.
While speaking, Amamiya Natsuki helped Hayasaka Ai treat the scar on her leg.
The effect of the Healing Hand was good. As Amamiya Natsuki kept massaging, Hayasaka Ai only felt the stinging pain on her leg quickly dissipate.
"Senpai, that's enough, it hardly hurts anymore…" Hayasaka Ai said softly, "The Young Lady will be here soon."
"Don't worry." Amamiya Natsuki said, "Kaguya won't be done showering so quickly."
After swimming in the sea, there will be a faint fishy smell on your body, and the sea water can't really be said to be very clean. For people with cleanliness habits, they always feel uncomfortable after swimming.
So Shinomiya Kaguya was not on the shore at this time, but went to the hotel to take a shower first.
The bench briefly fell silent.
The sound of the waves surging quickly became clear.
After a moment.
The spy maid suddenly clamped her legs together, her pretty face flushed, and she turned to glare at Amamiya Natsuki, biting her silver teeth and shouting:
"Pervert Senpai! Give me some restraint!"
Amamiya Natsuki looked innocent: "What did I do?"
You even have the nerve to ask!
Hayasaka Ai wanted to bite him after hearing this, feeling angry.
The place that was stung by the jellyfish clearly didn't hurt anymore, but he was still rubbing and kneading it. She endured it for a while and didn't refuse, but this guy was taking an inch after getting a foot. His hand even wanted to go up… How could she let you succeed!
"Enough nonsense! Take your hand out quickly!"
Hayasaka Ai's pretty face was flushed, and she issued an ultimatum.
"I like Hanamori."
"It's useless to say you like her a thousand times! I won't let you succeed!"
"Tch~"
Amamiya Natsuki pulled his hand out, "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Hayasaka Ai pressed her legs tightly together, her pretty face flushed as if on fire, and glared over shyly and angrily, "Pervert Senpai, leave quickly, otherwise I can't help but want to kick you."
"Then I'll leave?"
"Leave quickly."
Amamiya Natsuki pretended to get up: "Since that's the case, I'll go find Kaguya to take a shower together."
"… Come back here!"
Hayasaka Ai bit her silver teeth and pulled Amamiya Natsuki back again.
You just taken advantage of me, and now you want to take advantage of the young lady again. Doesn't your conscience hurt?
"Then I won't leave." Amamiya Natsuki smiled, "I want to eat ice cream."
"Here you go."
Hayasaka Ai handed over the ice cream.
Amamiya Natsuki didn't open his mouth, but said: "As a maid, shouldn't you be responsible for feeding me at this time?"
"I already…" Hayasaka Ai said halfway, and quickly realized the correct way to feed, and couldn't help but lean back, "I don't want to, pervert Senpai is too perverted!"
Amamiya Natsuki said without changing his expression:
"I just suddenly remembered that I haven't had you feed me anything yet. If something happens during the challenge at the tower crane tonight…"
Before he could finish speaking, a hand suddenly reached out and covered Amamiya Natsuki's mouth.
A fragrant breeze attacked.
The spy maid suddenly stood up, sat directly on Amamiya Natsuki's lap, tightened her pretty face, and looked at each other.
"Idiot."
"Idiot Senpai."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
It was rare to see this Hayasaka revealing her true feelings. Amamiya Natsuki was slightly stunned, reached out and hugged the girl's slender waist, and said softly:
"Sorry, I take back what I just said."
"It's too late to apologize now."
Hayasaka Ai held the unfinished ice cream to her mouth, took a bite, then wrapped her arms around Amamiya Natsuki's neck and leaned forward directly.
To be honest, the ice cream was indeed delicious.
When Chika and the others came back after swimming, everyone went back to the hotel to take a shower first. After tidying up, they went to the restaurant together for dinner.
After dinner, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
"It's raining outside." Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly frowned.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked out of the restaurant.
The streets were already deserted, and the fine rain had quietly dampened the ground.
"Master…"
Shayou bit her lip and looked over worriedly, not wanting Amamiya Natsuki to take risks.
Amamiya Natsuki looked calm and said:
"The Meteorological Agency had already predicted that it would rain, it doesn't matter… Let's go, we can set off."
"…"
The group left the restaurant, braved the rain, and went directly to the construction site they had chosen during the day.
There were few construction workers in Japan who would work overtime at night. Everyone had already left work at this time. The entire construction site was pitch black, and only the warehouse was lit, where the security guards could be vaguely seen.
Looking up, the eighty-meter-high tower crane stood in the darkness, the top no longer clearly visible.
The perimeter wall of the construction site naturally couldn't stop them, and Amamiya Natsuki and his group easily entered the site, avoiding the security room, and soon arrived at the base of the tower crane.
"So high."
Fujiwara Chika looked up, feeling as if her neck was about to ache.
Eighty meters doesn't sound long; it's a matter of seconds to run, but an eighty-meter tower crane is not a low height, especially when standing at the bottom of the tower crane and looking up, it gives a visual illusion.
Amamiya Natsuki stretched his body, took out his phone, handed it to Chika, and then said:
"I'm going up."
Yukinoshita Yukino silently untied a bag, which contained white powder: "...Give me your hand."
"Hmm."
Amamiya Natsuki extended his hands, allowing Yukinoshita Yukino to pour the powder into them, then rubbed them together.
This wasn't lime powder; it was magnesium powder, common in professional competitions. Many athletes apply magnesium powder to their palms before a competition to absorb sweat and increase friction between their palms and equipment.
Amamiya Natsuki didn't really think he needed this, but since Yukinoshita Yukino had bought it, there was no harm in using it.
"Natsuki, I'll go up with you." Kitagawa Marin bit her lip and suddenly spoke.
Although both were extreme challenges, swimming in a jellyfish-infested sea and walking on a tower crane in a stormy night clearly differed in danger.
"I can go up alone," Shinomiya Kaguya said. "There isn't enough standing room on the tower crane."
"I'll go up too," Yukinoshita Yukino said calmly. "Two people have better balance."
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Actually, none of you need to go up..."
"Stare—"
The girls all looked over.
"Alright." Amamiya Natsuki raised his hands in surrender. "Let Kaguya and Yukino go up together; too many people would be more dangerous."
Amamiya Natsuki looked around at the girls beside him and said softly:
"I'm going up."
"Natsuki..."
The Succubus Girl finally couldn't hold back, stepped forward, and, ignoring others' gazes, hugged Amamiya Natsuki tightly.
"Don't worry." Amamiya Natsuki reached out and gently rubbed Marin's head. "It's really not as dangerous as you think."
If Amamiya Natsuki were just an ordinary person, he would abandon this challenge one hundred percent; his life is important. But now that his physical fitness has exceeded human limits, he naturally has a lot of confidence.
After Marin, Chika came forward and hugged Amamiya Natsuki tightly, whispering:
"You must come down safely."
Amamiya Natsuki whispered, "I promise."
After Chika, the other girls came forward one after another and hugged Amamiya Natsuki.
"Natsuki-sama, you must come down safely." Sayu buried her face in Amamiya Natsuki's chest and whispered, "Then you can make me do anything."
You're even willing to call me Father and Master; now, if I ask you to do something, you wouldn't refuse, would you?
Koyasu Tsubame's tone was worried: "Natsuki-kun, be careful."
Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:
"I'd rather have Senpai's blessing kiss."
"There's no such thing!" Koyasu Tsubame glared at him, annoyed. "Everyone's watching, how could I possibly kiss you now!"
After a pause, Tsubame's pretty face flushed slightly, and she lowered her voice:
"...We'll talk about it after you come down."
After speaking, without waiting for Amamiya Natsuki to reply, Senpai quickly walked away, yielding her spot to others.
Juju stepped forward, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, hugged Amamiya Natsuki, and whispered:
"...When you come down, let's go eat ramen together."
Amamiya Natsuki: "I'm definitely having Juju's ramen."
But honestly, no wonder she's mistaken for a Junior high school student and an elementary school student; standing straight, she only reaches his chest. It's indeed more comfortable to sit on the sofa and hold Juju in his arms.
Then it was Hayasaka's turn.
The Spy Maid whispered in his ear: "After you come down safely, I can reluctantly let you lick my feet one more time."
To offer such a tempting reward, you must be really struggling!
"Ugh..."
Komi clenched her fists, breathing deeply, and after a while, finally mustered the courage to nervously hug Amamiya Natsuki once. Without saying a word, she lowered her head and scurried away in a panic.
For the shy girl, mustering the courage to step forward was already a breakthrough; she couldn't be expected to say anything more.
Shinomiya Kaguya watched silently with her arms crossed, but she was still a little jealous. Seeing everyone had finished hugging, she straightened her pretty face and said:
"Let's go up quickly before the rain gets heavier."
After speaking, she turned and began to climb the tower crane.
Amamiya Natsuki followed behind Kaguya, then Yukinoshita Yukino. The three climbed up in sequence, while Chika and the others remained on the ground, as there wasn't enough standing room on the tower crane, so they had to stay.
Generally, tower cranes over a hundred meters have elevators; ordinary tower cranes require climbing with hands and feet.
An ordinary person climbing a tower crane for the first time would probably be extremely nervous, with their heart racing, but Amamiya Natsuki and the two girls are players who have seen so many monsters and ghosts. It's just an ordinary tower crane, so they genuinely felt no nervousness and climbed up dozens of meters in a blink of an eye.
A cold wind whistled past.
Shinomiya Kaguya felt her skirt being blown up by the wind, and a chill struck her, instantly coloring her pretty face: "Wait, wait a moment, let's switch positions, you climb at the very top."
Amamiya Natsuki said, annoyed:
"It's not like riding a train; how can we just switch positions? That would be too dangerous... It's so dark, you can't really see anything."
The Young Lady looked down and said faintly: "So you did look, didn't you?"
Amamiya Natsuki coughed twice: "You're not not wearing anything..."
Shinomiya Kaguya: "And you still say you can't see!"
He could only vaguely see a little; other things were indeed unclear, as the light was too dim.
"You two, climb faster," Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but remind them. "The wind might get stronger, it's better to complete the challenge as soon as possible."
Shinomiya Kaguya pursed her pink lips and continued to climb up.
The physical fitness of the three had already surpassed that of ordinary humans; climbing the tower crane felt almost no physical exertion. In just a few minutes, they reached the top of the tower crane at a steady pace.
"Huh, it looks like there's someone in the driver's cabin?"
Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly frowned.
"It's not a person." Amamiya Natsuki narrowed his eyes and looked towards the driver's cabin. "It's an evil spirit."
Seeing someone climb up, the evil spirit in the tower crane approached, still wearing a worker's uniform. A hollow voice came from its pitch-black mouth: "Is it... time to go to work again?"
You're already an evil spirit and still thinking about going to work? It's truly a shame we can't give you a 'Three Good Employee' award.
Amamiya Natsuki decisively activated his Evil Spirit Banishing Aura:
"You can go home now."
