"Yurikawa-chan!"
Mrs. Shimizu's eyes lit up, and she happily stepped forward, embracing Yurikawa Hana and playing a touching game.
If it weren't for her transparent ghost form, it would actually be quite pleasing to the eye.
"Miko, good morning."
Looking at the black-haired, long-haired girl who walked out of the door, Amamiya Natsuki smiled and greeted her.
"Good morning."
Miko's eyes lit up slightly, and a happy expression appeared on her pretty face.
It is precisely because of loss that one understands the importance of the safety of those around them even more.
I don't know if he was injured... I'll ask him properly tonight.
The girls greeted each other, then walked to school together.
The rainy season was not yet over, but the weather this morning was quite good.
The sky was clear and bright.
The sun shone brightly.
After spending two days in the fairy tale instance, which had been snowing constantly, seeing the bright sunshine now naturally brightened his mood.
Not to mention Fujiwara Chika and Tsubame-senpai, even Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama seemed to be in a good mood, the corners of her pink lips slightly curved, her steps light, and she occasionally looked left and right, making one wonder if it was her first time walking to school.
The journey was silent.
As Amamiya Natsuki reached the school gate, he suddenly saw a short-haired girl in black standing at the gate, waving hello.
"Kashiwagi-chan, good morning."
Fujiwara Chika happily called out.
"Chika-chan, morning." Kashiwagi responded with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go." Fujiwara Chika said, putting her right hand on her hip, "Let's go to the Tabletop Game Club to play a game."
"Eh, wait a moment." Kashiwagi froze, covered her forehead, and said helplessly, "Chika-chan, did you forget something?"
"What?"
Fujiwara Chika tilted her head in confusion.
Kashiwagi sighed and said faintly:
"Today is monday, and the Student Council has a lot of things to do. There's no time to play tabletop games."
"Eh heh~"
Fujiwara Chika blinked and suddenly let out an "eh heh."
"So what does 'eh heh' mean?"
"Actually, I didn't forget." Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands in front of her chest and said seriously, "I just wanted to test Kashiwagi-chan to see if she had adapted to her new identity."
"Your reaction just now clearly showed that you forgot about the Student Council!"
Kashiwagi exhaled, turned to look at Amamiya Natsuki, and said, "President, what do you think?"
"Hmm…" Amamiya Natsuki showed a thoughtful expression, "Who is the President?"
Kashiwagi: "…"
Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Look, Natsuki-kun also forgot, it's not just me."
"Actually, I didn't." Amamiya Natsuki raised his phone, "I'm looking at today's morning activity schedule."
Fujiwara Chika's pink cheeks quickly puffed up: "How mean, you actually lied!"
"Say whatever you want at the Student Council. No loud noises on the way. If others see us, it will damage the Student Council's image…"
Kashiwagi helplessly rubbed her forehead and looked at Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama beside her, "You two should learn from Kaguya-san."
Shinomiya Kaguya held her school bag with both hands, walked forward with her eyes straight ahead, displaying the elegant demeanor of a Miss without a doubt.
Wherever she passed, other students made way for her.
Amamiya Natsuki turned to look. The bright sunlight fell on half of Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama's profile. The curve from her forehead to the tip of her nose, and then to her chin, was flawless. Her side profile was perfect, bright and incomparably beautiful.
Especially her lips.
He didn't know what brand of lip balm she used, but in the sun, it had an alluring pink, jelly-like luster.
Noticing Amamiya Natsuki's gaze, a pink blush quietly rose on Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama's pretty face. She subtly pursed her lips and quickened her pace, leaving the three behind.
"Eh, Kaguya-chan, why are you walking so fast?"
Fujiwara Chika asked from behind.
Shinomiya Kaguya didn't look back and said:
"There's a lot to do, let's hurry to the Student Council to work."
Kashiwagi's eyes sparkled: "As expected of Kaguya-san, super responsible."
Only Amamiya Natsuki knew that Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama was not a workaholic; she was clearly just shy!
They arrived at the Student Council.
The few of them quickly became busy.
The Student Council had no major events, but many trivia, such as club funding applications, activity approvals, and student part-time work hour certifications, which were all part of the Student Council's daily routine.
When the work was done, it was almost time for the morning meeting. They didn't even have time to play tabletop games with Yurikawa, so they all headed to their classrooms.
The day's classes passed quickly.
Compared to the thrilling experience in the instance, real-world campus life was rather unremarkable.
Of course, if he had a choice, Amamiya Natsuki would definitely prefer a peaceful campus, provided there weren't so many bizarre Evil Spirit.
The dismissal bell rang.
Amamiya Natsuki walked out while taking out his phone and saw someone sharing a beautiful girl's picture, so he casually clicked on it.
As a result, an Evil Spirit with blood-red eyes and a neck like a snake, stretching several meters long, extended its neck to Amamiya Natsuki's side and watched with him.
Amamiya Natsuki silently closed his phone.
"I… still want to see…"
A hollow voice echoed faintly.
You're an Evil Spirit, and you even know how to look at pictures. Is it really human instinct to be interested in such things?
Looking at the Evil Spirit blocking him with its neck, Amamiya Natsuki said helplessly:
"With such a long neck, were you a peeping tom in your past life?"
The Evil Spirit was clearly a bit confused: "You… can see me?"
"I can see you."
"..."
After receiving an affirmative answer, this Evil Spirit immediately became excited, opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and was about to pounce.
Clap.
Amamiya Natsuki snapped his fingers, and the next second, transparent flames quickly ignited, enveloping the Evil Spirit.
"When looking at suggestive pictures, I hate it the most when others peek."
"..."
Now that he was the Student Council President, Amamiya Natsuki naturally couldn't go home right after school.
Under Mrs. Shimizu's nagging all day, he was currently on his way to the Tabletop Game Club.
"Natsuki-kun, good afternoon."
A clear, bright, and pleasant voice entered his ears.
Amamiya Natsuki looked up at Koyasu Tsubame, who was walking down the stairs, and raised his hand, saying:
"Hello, Senpai. I'm on my way to the Tabletop Game Club. Would Senpai like to come?"
"I won't go. The New Gymnastics Club has an activity this afternoon, so I need to go there." Koyasu Tsubame shook her head, then pursed her pink lips and whispered, "During physical education class today, I encountered a super disgusting Evil Spirit. My skill has already been used up. Natsuki-kun, let me know when you're done, I still need another Evil Spirit Banishing."
If it were before entering the instance, she would definitely hesitate to speak, worried about troubling Amamiya Natsuki, but not anymore.
In front of a companion with whom she had shared life and death in an adventure, there was no need to worry about such minor details.
"I understand." Amamiya Natsuki nodded, "I'll send a message to Senpai when I'm done."
Koyasu Tsubame smiled brightly: "Then, see you later."
"..."
After talking to Senpai, Amamiya Natsuki continued walking and soon arrived at the Tabletop Game Club.
After bullying the innocent little lambs as usual, and then playing a proper game, Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya-chan returned to the Student Council to continue with their trivial tasks.
"Finally, we're done."
Fujiwara Chika clenched her fists, raised them above her head, and stretched leisurely, the girl's well-developed chest creating a particularly prominent curve under her clothes.
"My friends invited me to sing karaoke, so I'm leaving first."
Fujiwara Chika picked up her school bag, her steps light, and ran out of the Student Council office with a patter.
With Chika's departure, the large office suddenly became quiet.
Amamiya Natsuki stopped writing and looked at Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama not far from him, gently saying:
"Kaguya-san."
"..."
The red ribbon on Shinomiya Kaguya's back swayed slightly, pretending not to hear.
"Vice President?"
"..."
Shinomiya Kaguya still pretended not to hear.
Amamiya Natsuki pondered for two seconds, then called out again:
"Kaguya-chan…"
What kind of address is that!
Shinomiya Kaguya finally couldn't bear it, turned to glare, and said with a stern face:
"Don't call me that randomly."
Amamiya Natsuki smiled: "I actually find it quite natural…"
Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama elegantly picked up her coffee cup, took a small sip, and a characteristic disdainful smile appeared on her pretty face, as she said with a slight smile:
"There's an idiom called 'three seals on the mouth.' Does the President know what it means?"
"Please enlighten me."
"Quickly put three seals on your mouth."
"..."
Amamiya Natsuki interlaced his fingers and said:
"I have something I want to tell you."
Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face flushed, and her heart involuntarily pounded.
Could it be a confession?
If it's a confession, should I accept him?
Hold it in, even if it's a confession, I can't smile!
"…What is it?"
Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama held her coffee cup, trying hard to look straight ahead, but her eyes involuntarily glanced over.
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Do you want to go eat something on the Commercial Street tonight?"
Before entering the instance, everyone came back from the train station and ate street food together on the Commercial Street… It was just last night, but it felt like a long time ago.
"Commercial Street…"
The smile on Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama's face gradually disappeared, and she tilted her head, looking over.
Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"For two days in the instance, it was either bread or bread. I've had enough and desperately want to try something different."
Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama's pretty face hardened: "You were clearly eating a candlelight dinner, we were the ones eating bread."
"I was sacrificing myself."
"Sacrificing yourself wouldn't be that happy."
"..."
"I have to go back today." Shinomiya Kaguya took another sip of coffee. "…Tomorrow, let's go eat something tomorrow."
She used to think that if she left Shinomiya, she would have nothing, so she always followed the rules and lived in a birdcage.
But not anymore.
Her mother is by her side, even though she is a ghost. Just this alone, even if she leaves Shinomiya, she won't be afraid in the slightest.
Of course, she can't leave Shinomiya for now, to avoid causing trouble for everyone.
"Then it's settled," Amamiya Natsuki said. "We'll go eat tomorrow."
"Mm."
"Are you done with your work?"
"Finished."
"Then let's go together."
"…"
The two left the Student Council office together, then parted ways in the hallway.
"See you tomorrow."
Amamiya Natsuki greeted her and headed to the Gymnastics Club.
"See you tomorrow."
Shinomiya Kaguya carried her school bag with both hands, ready to go downstairs and head home.
Walking to the corner, a Blonde Hot Girl quietly appeared, biting a lollipop, her school uniform sleeves tied around her waist:
"Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama seems to be in a good mood."
Shinomiya Kaguya touched her cheek: "Am I?"
Hayasaka Ai said:
"Even a blind person could tell."
Shinomiya Kaguya retorted speechlessly: "Blind people can't see at all, can they?"
"Ah, I said it wrong." Hayasaka Ai pulled the lollipop out of her mouth with a soft pop. The pink strawberry-flavored lollipop shimmered with a moist luster. "So, tell me what happy things happened to make me happy."
"That…"
Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face showed a hesitant expression. She looked left and right, and seeing no one else nearby, she lowered her voice and said with a blush:
"Last night… I kissed."
Hayasaka Ai: "…"
Before Mrs. Shimizu woke up, Hayasaka Ai was the closest person to her. No matter what happened, Shinomiya Kaguya would tell her… even about kissing.
Of course, living in a sterile environment with Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama, the lack of knowledge also played a role.
Hayasaka Ai's feelings were complicated.
She told her such an important secret. Should she be happy or unhappy?
Since the topic was already opened, Shinomiya Kaguya no longer hesitated and began to talk about the kiss from yesterday.
"Hayasaka, although you read a lot of manga, you still don't know what kissing feels like, do you?"
Hayasaka Ai narrowed her eyes, muttering to herself: "Sorry, I already know, and it was before you." "My head feels so dizzy, my heart feels like it's going to jump out, I don't know where to put my hands… and also." Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't stop herself, lowering her voice again, "Hayasaka, let me tell you, when you kiss, it's not just kissing lips, you can also…"
"Tch."
The Spy Maid turned her head and pouted.
Even an elementary school student knows that kind of thing, only you don't, right?!
"I know." Hayasaka Ai narrowed her eyes. "And I know very well what it feels like."
"Impossible." Shinomiya Kaguya said, "You don't even have a boyfriend, how could you know such a thing… In short, it's completely different from what the manga says, you only know it when you experience it yourself."
Hayasaka Ai slowly said:
"I don't have a boyfriend, but that doesn't mean I haven't experienced it."
"Eh?" Shinomiya Kaguya blinked, not reacting for a moment. "No boyfriend, why would you have an experience?"
Hayasaka Ai retorted:
"Did Natsuki-kun confess to you?"
"N-not yet."
"Then why would Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama experience kissing?"
Shinomiya Kaguya stammered: "I said it was an accident."
Hayasaka Ai said faintly:
"Accidentally touching is an accident, but kissing for so long and still calling it an accident, even an elementary school student wouldn't believe it, would she?"
Shinomiya Kaguya: "…"
Speaking of which, what if Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama knew that guy had kissed many girls?
Looking at the blushing Miss Sheltered Ojou-sama, Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but fall into contemplation, a tragic little Theater appearing in her mind.
"Natsuki-kun, you've kissed other girls, haven't you?"
In the dim room, Shinomiya Kaguya held a utility knife, sitting by the bed, her eyes dull and lifeless.
And on the bed, Amamiya Natsuki's hands and feet were tied to the four corners, with only a towel on his body.
"Natsuki-kun is no longer clean." Shinomiya Kaguya's voice was dark, with a faint black aura swirling in her eyes. "But it doesn't matter, just cut off his tongue…"
Hayasaka Ai quickly shook her head, dispelling the image from her mind.
Damn it.
If you want a harem, you have to be prepared to be killed. Why worry about him?!
