"It seems..." Kitagawa Marin blinked her eyes, pressing her right hand on her flat, smooth lower abdomen, "No feeling?"
"That's normal, because the mushroom has just been planted and hasn't grown larger yet." Fujiwara Chika, as someone who had experienced it, stepped forward to explain, "When the mushroom gets bigger and bigger, you'll want to eat so much that you can't control yourself at all."
"That's right, I can testify." Amamiya Natsuki said from the side, "When a person is hungry, they can't sleep at all. Their mind is only filled with food and Pes, and they won't let go once they bite someone."
Koyasu Tsubame's gaze shifted, glancing at Fujiwara Chika, and she smiled:
"At times like this, please name names directly."
But... what did she bite and not let go of?
Was it a finger?
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Fujiwara's ear tips quietly flushed red, and she quickly denied three times, feeling a little guilty, "Don't look at me!"
She was just hungry and went into the tent for food, but she was caught and bullied, unable to breathe and not letting go. Was it normal to bite him?
Shinomiya Kaguya mused:
"Can ordinary people see mushrooms?"
"I don't know, it hasn't been verified." Amamiya Natsuki shook his head, "Miko can see them, but others are unclear."
Fujiwara Chika put her hands on her hips and said:
"Let Kashiwagi-chan see the mushroom?"
Koyasu Tsubame said:
"Will it scare Kashiwagi?"
"It shouldn't, right." Fujiwara Chika pursed her pink lips, "The mushroom hasn't grown big yet, it's small and cute. Even if she sees it, we can say it's a toy."
Tsubame-senpai complained:
"There's no such terrible toy."
"..."
At the same time.
Outside the Student Council office.
A black-haired girl stood outside the door, tilting her ear, secretly listening to the sounds inside. Faint conversations drifted into her ears.
"President... the mushroom getting bigger and bigger... it's terrible..."
Kashiwagi's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but hold her breath, a guess suddenly surfacing in her mind.
"A boy's... mushroom?!"
"And he wants me to see it?"
Impossible!
She must have misunderstood!
How could everyone be discussing that kind of thing in the office!
Kashiwagi's small face quickly flushed red, terrifying scenes emerging in her mind. She suddenly remembered a manga she had secretly read.
A boy who was bullied in school, one day, a hypnosis app suddenly appeared on his phone...
Could it be that Natsuki-kun's legendary hypnosis has already hypnotized everyone in the Student Council, and now he's coming for her?
After she's hypnotized too, will he then use the Student Council as a center to hypnotize the entire school?
It's not impossible!
Before, she had subtly mentioned Natsuki-kun and Kaguya-san's matter to Chika-chan. Chika-chan not only didn't suspect anything but also said she knew, not to worry, it was fine... If she wasn't hypnotized, how could she agree to the boy she liked having intimate contact with other girls!
And last week, everyone always used various reasons to make her leave the office, and they were secretive in the office... They must be hiding something from her!
Perhaps the hypnotic thing isn't an app, but a mushroom.
Everyone has already been hypnotized, and today it's finally her turn!
Inside the office.
"Strange, why hasn't Kashiwagi-chan come yet today?"
Fujiwara Chika's tone was puzzled.
"Perhaps something delayed her." Amamiya Natsuki sat behind the President's desk, fingers intertwined, propping up his chin, "Call her and ask."
"I'll call."
Fujiwara Chika took out her phone and dialed the number.
The next moment.
The phone rang suddenly outside the door.
"Eh... outside?"
Fujiwara Chika opened the door and saw only Kashiwagi's fleeing back, clutching her school bag.
"Kashiwagi-chan, where are you going?" Fujiwara Chika called out in confusion, "Why are you standing outside the door and not coming in?"
Hearing the call, Kashiwagi ran even faster, disappearing in a flash.
Shinomiya Kaguya tilted her head: "Why did Kashiwagi suddenly run away?"
"I don't know."
"How about calling Yurikawa over?"
"..."
Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone and called Yurikawa Hana over, asking the little lamb to make coffee.
During this time, the verification result was obtained: ordinary people cannot see mushrooms.
Of course, Miko is an exception.
Born with two high-level talents, her eyes can see through most illusions, and if she wasn't a lazy girl, she would definitely thrive in the game.
"The coffee smells so good~"
Kitagawa Marin sniffed her nose, placing her right hand on her flat, smooth abdomen. "I feel hungry and want to drink coffee."
"The mushroom has grown larger."
Amamiya Natsuki looked towards Marin's head. "...I feel like I can detonate the mushroom now."
Snap.
As Amamiya Natsuki lightly snapped her fingers, the Gluttony Mushroom on Kitagawa Marin's head quickly exploded, turning into a wisp of purple smoke and disappearing.
"Eh? Eh? Eh?"
Kitagawa Marin's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "My stomach suddenly feels so hungry... It feels like I haven't eaten anything all day."
"It's just an illusion," Fujiwara Chika waved her hand and said, "I felt like I hadn't eaten for several days, it was super uncomfortable."
Kitagawa Marin picked up her schoolbag: "I'll eat some snacks."
"Don't eat," Amamiya Natsuki stopped her, "Let's see how long the negative status after the mushroom detonation lasts."
Shinomiya Kaguya took out her phone: "I'm already timing it."
Kitagawa Marin looked over pitifully: "My stomach is so hungry."
"Bear with it," Amamiya Natsuki reminded her, "Think about the consequence of gaining three catties in one day."
The Succubus Girl immediately took a deep breath: "I won't eat it!"
"..."
A moment later.
"I don't feel hungry anymore," Kitagawa Marin pressed her abdomen. "It's so magical. I was just uncomfortably hungry, and in a blink of an eye, I'm not hungry at all."
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Very good, you won't gain three catties today."
"There aren't even three catties of snacks in my schoolbag," Kitagawa Marin complained, "Even if I ate it all, it's impossible to gain that much, right?"
That's not necessarily true. There are some people in the world who gain weight even if they only drink water.
"Four minutes and forty-seven seconds," Shinomiya Kaguya ended the timer. "Including the slight delay earlier, the duration of the state after the mushroom detonation should be five minutes."
"It should be related to the size of the mushroom," Fujiwara Chika pushed at her nonexistent glasses on her nose, striking the classic pose of a famous detective, "Five minutes is too short, and if the mushroom is too small, the sensation might not be very strong."
Koyasu Tsubame, drinking coffee nearby, said with interest:
"The Gluttony Mushroom would be great for anorexic patients."
At this point, Koyasu Tsubame pursed her pink lips and couldn't help but look at Amamiya Natsuki, an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating appearing on her pretty face.
"Natsuki-kun…"
"Hmm?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked over at the sound.
"It's nothing," Koyasu Tsubame gently shook her head, blinked, and whispered, "I'll tell you later."
Amamiya Natsuki leaned her hands on the office desk and speculated:
"If we detonate the mushroom when it's larger, the duration might be longer, and the negative status should also be stronger... We'll only know the exact situation by verifying it ourselves. Who wants to try?"
"Not me," Kitagawa Marin was the first to refuse, "Let me rest for a while."
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted to Chika.
"Not me either," Fujiwara Chika said righteously, "The feeling of being hungry is really too uncomfortable."
Amamiya Natsuki then looked at the Sheltered Ojou-sama.
"I refuse, don't look at me."
Shinomiya Kaguya refused without hesitation. If the lust mushroom appeared again, her terrible impression would never be washed away!
"Um…" Koyasu Tsubame took a deep breath, raised her hand, and said, "How about I do it?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked over admiringly: "Senpai is mighty."
The Succubus Girl also raised her hand: "Senpai is mighty."
Fujiwara Chika: "Senpai is mighty."
Shinomiya Kaguya moved her pink lips but said nothing. Toilet
"Kaguya-chan," Fujiwara Chika turned her head and urged, "Hurry up and join the formation."
Shinomiya Kaguya wrapped her right arm around her chest: "Senpai is mighty."
Koyasu Tsubame: "..."
"The growing mushroom actually feels alright," Koyasu Tsubame sighed helplessly, raising her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "There's nothing uncomfortable, it just makes you not want to move."
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Senpai, should I plant the mushroom now?"
Tsubame-senpai nodded gently: "Go ahead."
"..."
Amamiya Natsuki took out another mushroom, selected a target to plant it, and soon a mushroom appeared on Tsubame-senpai's head.
"What kind of mushroom is on Senpai's head?"
Kitagawa Marin asked curiously.
Fujiwara Chika stepped forward and touched it with her hand, saying crisply:
"It's still an growing mushroom. It feels like the type of mushroom is related to personal traits."
"That conclusion is too hasty," Shinomiya Kaguya lightly bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, calmly refuting, "Any speculation needs to be verified hundreds or thousands of times. Two verifications are completely insufficient."
Shinomiya Kaguya firmly denied it.
If she agreed with Chika's inference that mushrooms were related to personal traits, wouldn't that mean she was a girl who only thought about sesshou?
She wouldn't admit it!
Absolutely not!
There's nothing much to say about the growing mushroom. Its harm is relatively low; besides making people lazy, it doesn't cause any discomfort.
Amamiya Natsuki didn't detonate the mushroom on Senpai's head for a while and brought up another matter.
"The rule card obtained from the Midnight Mall Monster Party can finally be used..."
"Let me tell you!"
Mrs. Shimizu, who was sitting nearby playing with her phone, raised her right hand, a sweet and joyful smile on her face. "That's a super powerful item that can make people physically and mentally happy!"
Mrs. Shimizu meticulously recounted what happened last night, glossing over the rule punishment about taking off clothes. Even so, several girls still looked at her with disdain.
Especially Shinomiya Kaguya, this Sheltered Ojou-sama tilted her head, crossed her arms over her chest, a faint smile on her pretty face like she was looking at the lowest carbon-based life form, and said faintly:
"Why did Natsuki-kun set such a rule?"
"I'm very curious."
"Please explain in detail. If you can't explain clearly, please surrender yourself."
"So it was all an accident," Amamiya Natsuki silently raised both hands to show her innocence. "It was my first time using the Theater, I had no experience, so I just came up with a random rule."
After a pause, Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"Speaking of which, after the Theater performance ended this morning, it also gave me a game coin. It should be the lowest level. I wonder what the maximum reward can be."
Fujiwara Chika pointed her finger: "Natsuki-kun is changing the subject."
Kitagawa Marin placed her right hand on her hip and nodded in agreement: "It's too obvious."
Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face was frosty: "Surrender."
"You're still holding on, aren't you?" Amamiya Natsuki's voice was low, and she snorted twice, silently apologizing three times, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me."
"..."
The matter was dropped.
Amamiya Natsuki then brought up the rules again, "Rules can be set by oneself. I plan to verify it tonight to see if I can set a learning skill that allows one to memorize at a glance."
"Eh, eh, memorize at a glance?"
Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened.
Kitagawa Marin looked over with anticipation: "Can you really achieve memorization at a glance?"
Neither of the two girls were learning experts; their grades were in the middle of their year, and Marin was slightly worse than Chika, so they naturally wanted to be able to memorize at a glance.
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"We'll verify it tonight to see if it's possible to memorize at a glance."
"I'll go over and verify it with you tonight," Kitagawa Marin raised her right hand expectantly, "English words are super hard to memorize, I always forget them. If I can memorize at a glance, I want to memorize the entire vocabulary book."
"Then we'll go together tonight," Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and said, "What about Chika?"
"I have to attend a party with my mother tonight," Fujiwara Chika said with a regretful expression, "I can't go."
"It's okay," Kitagawa Marin gave a thumbs-up, smiling brightly, "I'll go verify it first and scout it out for everyone, then tell you all tomorrow if it's possible."
Shinomiya Kaguya's gaze shifted, and she looked at Amamiya Natsuki: "Don't set any more strange rules tonight, otherwise…"
Amamiya Natsuki promised:
"Otherwise, I'll surrender myself."
The summary meeting came to an end.
Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Amamiya Natsuki took out the lucky coin again: "I checked it this morning, it's almost fully charged. Marin, you can flip the coin now."
"There's still plenty of time, let's flip it now. I just wanted to draw a card."
Kitagawa Marin reached out and took the coin.
The function of the lucky coin didn't need much explanation. To avoid disputes, everyone had agreed beforehand to use it in turns according to order, and during that time, they would collectively be responsible for charging it.
Of course, if there was a special situation during that time and the lucky coin was needed, it could be exchanged with others.
At this moment, the right to use the coin happened to fall to Marin.
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts…"
As soon as she finished flipping the coin, the Succubus Girl accidentally kicked the corner of the table, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes from the pain.
Amamiya Natsuki detonated the mushroom on Senpai's head, causing Tsubame-senpai to fall into a short state of being a lazy person, leaning lazily on the sofa.
At the same time.
Outside the office.
Kashiwagi returned to the doorway, took a deep breath, and prepared to push the door open and enter the Student Council.
After calming down for a while, Kashiwagi had already composed herself.
Reality isn't a manga, how could there be something like a hypnosis app...
Amamiya Natsuki's voice came from inside: "Senpai, how do you feel?"
Koyasu Tsubame's voice was lazy: "So tired, I don't even want to move a single finger."
Fujiwara Chika: "Natsuki-kun's mushroom is indeed amazing."
Kitagawa Marin's voice was aggrieved: "It hurts so much... It must have swollen up already."
"..."
Listening to the commotion inside, Kashiwagi silently withdrew her right hand from the doorknob.
The campus hypnosis series, it wouldn't become reality, would it?
