"…I don't believe I'm a character in some game."
Hayasaka took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. Whatever the truth of the world was, the most important thing now was to remain calm.
"Move, I need to go to class."
"You still want to go out?" Natsuki stepped forward, perfectly playing the evil villain, "After telling you so much, you don't think you can still leave, do you?"
Hayasaka's expression changed slightly, and she cautiously took half a step back, saying, "What do you want to do?"
Natsuki righteously retorted, "You painstakingly saved money to buy an adult game, then you hide alone in your room, turn off your phone, put on a metaverse helmet, set do-not-disturb mode… What would you do?"
Hayasaka: "…"
What would she do?
Of course, she would go through and conquer all the female characters in the game!
That's right.
As a maid with a wide range of hobbies, she could not only assemble her own computer but also had experience with adult romance games.
The problem was that the female character being conquered was now herself, and she couldn't accept it no matter what!
Hayasaka said sternly, "I'm calling the police!"
"Go ahead." Natsuki was not afraid in the slightest, making a gesture of "do as you please."
"The Saint ♡ Slippery's Academy for Girls only has one setting, and that's the campus. You can't leave the school, and no police will appear."
Hayasaka remembered her phone with no signal, her mind racing, trying to save herself:
"If I really am a character in a romance game, shouldn't you slowly conquer me, and try to make me fall in love with you?"
Natsuki spoke serious nonsense, "Perhaps that was the case before, but this is a metaverse game space, and it's all about freedom. The gameplay of the Saint ♡ Slippery's Academy for Girls - The Young Ladies of the Humiliation Club: Debauched Miracle Life 2 requires self-exploration, so… forcing it is also a way to conquer, isn't it?"
This scoundrel actually wanted to use force!
What happened to it being an adult game?
It was clearly a h-game!
Hayasaka almost gritted her teeth into dust, her mind racing, searching for a glimmer of hope.
Defeat this guy and escape?
Impossible.
This guy's power level was clearly very high.
Escape by jumping out the window?
The windows were already sealed by anti-theft bars; she couldn't break through them quickly.
Shout for help loudly?
This was the main complex, and it was class time, so no one would be passing by.
After much thought, Hayasaka finally came up with a somewhat feasible escape method:
"Don't come any closer!"
Whoosh.
Hayasaka opened a drawer, took out a utility knife, and held it to her neck, using her own safety as a bargaining chip, her eyes resolute: "A dating relationship is fine, but if you force me, I'll kill myself."
"Tsk~ As expected of a versatile maid set to be full of schemes."
Natsuki stopped, sighing, "You actually managed to threaten me."
"Hoo…"
Hayasaka secretly let out a sigh of relief.
However, the next second.
She saw Natsuki reopen the so-called "Game panel."
"Wait a moment, I'll ask the game customer service…"
Natsuki pretended to perform some operations, then smiled, "The customer service just responded to me. Your memory isn't a bug, but one of the fun settings. So even if you commit suicide, it won't damage the game. The game only needs to be restarted, and you'll revive and forget everything that just happened… So, feel free to commit suicide if you wish."
"…"
Despair.
Upon hearing this news, Hayasaka completely fell into despair.
The truth of the world was just a metaverse game, and she was actually the protagonist of some adult game, while the guy in front of her was the game player.
Although she knew the truth of the world, she had no ability to resist, and even suicide was meaningless… What else could she do?
At this moment, she heard Natsuki leisurely say, "It's my first time playing a metaverse game, and it's quite novel that the game characters can know the truth of the world… How about this, as long as you obey my commands, I won't lay a hand on you and Kaguya for now. Anyway, there are many other characters in the game that can be conquered. What do you think?"
Hayasaka said coldly, "I don't think much of it."
"So, there's nothing to discuss?" Natsuki shrugged, turned, and prepared to leave, "Then go ahead and kill yourself. I'll immediately bring Kaguya over and then restart the game."
Hayasaka: "…"
Shameless!
Lewd!
Evil!
This scoundrel's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys must all be pitch black!
"Wait—"
Seeing Natsuki about to leave, Hayasaka took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and shouted, "I agree to work for you on campus, in exchange for not forcing me and Kaguya-sama!"
"Deal." Natsuki smiled and turned around, "But you also mustn't reveal the information from just now."
Hayasaka said expressionlessly, "Of course."
Of course, my foot!
As soon as she got out, she would tell Kaguya, and they would definitely find a way to kill this scoundrel!
So what if she was a game character?
She would absolutely not sit by and let this guy conquer and play with her!
"I remember Hayasaka-san's conquest difficulty is SSS-rank, much higher than your young lady's conquest difficulty. Once you walk out that door, you might go to the broadcast station and reveal the truth, so…"
Natsuki walked to the table and sat down, taking out a roulette wheel, and beckoned, "Come here and let's put some insurance on it first."
"What do you mean?"
Hayasaka looked at him warily.
"It's simple. This is a special game item. Both parties place bets, anything can be a stake, and then each guesses a number. The loser will be forcibly punished if they break the agreement…" Natsuki briefly explained, "Come and gamble. If I win, once you walk out this door, you can't reveal the information from just now in any way, otherwise you'll receive a [BEEP—] punishment."
"Pfft~"
Hayasaka lightly spat, her eyes showing disdain, "Lewd!"
Natsuki said righteously, "I'm already playing an adult game, what do you expect, high moral character from me?"
Hayasaka: "…"
"I'll gamble then."
Hayasaka gritted her teeth and sat opposite Natsuki.
She was the fish on the chopping block, with no possibility of refusal.
She could only wait until she got out of the activity room to think of other ways…
Her fingers touched the roulette wheel, and Hayasaka's eyes blurred slightly. A look of surprise quickly appeared on her pretty face:
"If I win the gamble, you can't lay a hand on me and Kaguya-san anymore!"
"No problem." Natsuki agreed, and said seriously, "Fairness is the most important thing in roulette."
Then… Time Stop!
Natsuki had just finished speaking when he activated Time Stop the next second, and the outcome naturally had no surprises.
"I lost…"
Hayasaka furrowed her brows, initially thinking Natsuki might have cheated.
"I won." Natsuki smiled as he put away the roulette wheel, "Now you'll have to obey my commands, Hayasaka-san. Please guide me in the future."
"Hmph."
Hayasaka snorted lightly, responding indifferently.
Natsuki didn't care and immediately issued his first command:
"You go figure out a way to trick Chika-chan into coming here… You can do it in ten minutes during the break, right?"
"Impossible." Hayasaka's eyes flickered slightly, and she shook her head, "It would take at least three days."
"Don't try to fool me." Natsuki intertwined his fingers, "The setting clearly states that Chika-chan is an idiot."
Hayasaka said without changing her expression:
"I apologize, I might have misremembered."
Natsuki waved his hand:
"In any case, I trust your ability to do it in ten minutes during the break… You can leave now."
Hearing that she could leave, Hayasaka's long eyelashes trembled slightly. She suppressed the excitement in her heart, turned, and left as if nothing had happened.
One step, two steps, three steps…
Seeing that she had reached the door of the club room, Hayasaka excitedly gripped the doorknob. Just one step away from freedom, Natsuki's voice suddenly rang out from behind her:
"Wait a moment."
(Damn it… Is this bastard going back on his word?!)
Hayasaka suppressed the urge to escape and turned around, saying:
"Is there anything else?"
Natsuki smiled:
"I'm thirsty. When you come back, bring me a bottle of fruit juice. The metaverse has just matured; I've never eaten anything in the metaverse, and I'm quite curious."
"…Understood."
Hayasaka's face was calm as she pushed the door open and stepped out.
Bang.
The door gently closed.
Looking at the bright sunlight outside the hallway, Hayasaka clutched her chest and let out a long sigh.
Finally out!
Metaverse…
The shameless miraculous life of the Saint ♡ Slippery's Academy for Girls' young lady in the humiliation club…
She and Kaguya were both characters in an 18+ game…
Although she had only stayed in the club room for a short while, Hayasaka felt as if it had been a century.
The first thing… is to verify the truth of the so-called game world!
As soon as the bell for class rang, Hayasaka ran directly into the classroom and went to a familiar friend:
"Lend me your phone for a moment."
"Oh…" The girl handed over her phone without realizing anything, and asked curiously, "Why didn't Ai-chan come back for the whole class?"
Hayasaka didn't have time to explain. She lowered her head and glanced at the phone. As expected, there was no signal.
Looking at other people's phones, it was still the same.
"I was just in the club room…"
Hayasaka tried to tell the others the truth, but just as she spoke one word, she felt a current suddenly sweep through her body. The indescribable feeling made her tremble all over, followed by a low grunt that escaped her lips:
"Ngh… Mmm!!"
The nearby girls all cast suspicious glances.
"Ai-chan, are you alright?"
"Why is your face suddenly so red?"
"And that sound just now… so strange… it's like…"
"I'm fine!"
Hayasaka bit her silver teeth, trying hard not to let her voice tremble. With one hand supporting the corner of the desk, her pretty face was flushed, almost dripping blood:
"I have something to do… I'll go out for a bit."
That bet… it actually worked!
What happened in the club room simply couldn't be told to others!
When the sensation in her body slightly subsided and she regained the ability to move, Hayasaka bit her silver teeth, quickly walked out of the classroom, ran all the way to the school gate, and tried to leave the campus.
And then.
What made Hayasaka desperate happened.
Although there was only a door separating her from the road outside, there was an invisible air wall at the campus gate, directly blocking her way.
Thump!
Hayasaka clenched her small fists and punched the air wall in front of her.
"Damn it… It really is just a game…"
At the same time.
Natsuki stood in the hallway, looking at Hayasaka at the campus gate from afar.
"As expected, I can't get out?"
"The scene of this Strange Tale space is clearly limited to the campus."
Natsuki naturally didn't forget the main task.
This was not a metaverse game, but the domain of Strange Tale.
Momo was still on the rooftop.
Miko was nowhere to be found.
Finding the Strange Tale was the real urgent matter.
But how exactly could he make the Strange Tale appear?
At the school gate.
Hayasaka, having confirmed the "truth of the world," walked back in a daze.
Natsuki withdrew his gaze and returned to the club room.
There was no need to rush for Momo on the rooftop; let the mushroom mature first.
A moment later.
One minute before the class bell rang, a knock on the door finally sounded.
"Come in."
Natsuki's voice rang out in the club room.
Click.
The door opened.
Hayasaka walked in expressionlessly, behind her was a pink-haired girl with a very dark bow tied on her forehead.
It was secretary Chika.
"Eh, Natsuki-kun?" Chika said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Natsuki intertwined his fingers and propped up his chin:
"Chika-chan, I want to have a love consultation."
Bang.
The door gently closed.
Looking at the dimming room, Chika instinctively felt that something was wrong. She took half a step back and said:
"Class is about to start. For a love consultation, let's talk after school, okay?"
Natsuki sighed:
"As expected, idiots in any world have keen intuition."
Chika puffed out her pink cheeks and retorted:
"I'm not an idiot!"
Natsuki said:
"You were easily tricked by Hayasaka, and you still say you're not an idiot?"
"Eh?"
Chika turned her head and looked at Hayasaka.
Hayasaka stood at the door, the shadow of her bangs covering her eyes, her pretty face showing no expression.
For Kaguya, she would do anything, even if it meant helping a tyrant.
"Didn't Ai-chan say she had something to ask for my help with?" Chika widened her eyes, puzzled, "Trick me… What does that mean?"
Hayasaka said expressionlessly, in a low voice:
"I'm sorry."
At the same time, the class bell rang.
"I really have to go back to class, otherwise the teacher will get angry…"
Chika tried to leave the club room while speaking.
Hayasaka remained silent, moved half a step, and directly blocked the door.
Clap.
A rope was thrown in front of the two girls.
Natsuki said casually:
"It's too troublesome to explain, so… Hayasaka-san knows what to do, right?"
"…"
Hayasaka bit her lips tightly, bent down to pick up the rope on the ground, then looked at Chika, and said again:
"I'm sorry."
"Why is Ai-chan saying sorry… Eh eh eh?!" Chika immediately panicked, her voice aggrieved and shocked, "Why are you tying me up, Ai-chan?"
Secretary Chika had no combat ability whatsoever and was easily subdued by Hayasaka.
Hayasaka bit her lower lip and said nothing, quickly tying Chika up.
"Well done." Natsuki nodded in satisfaction, "Hayasaka-san, you can leave now."
