Bang.
The door gently closed.
With Hayasaka's departure, only Natsuki and Chika remained in the club room.
However, Natsuki was standing at ease, while Chika was tied back to a chair.
"Natsuki-kun… Are you and Hayasaka-san playing a prank?"
Chika's body tensed, her large eyes filled with nervousness.
Even an idiot would know that the current situation was very bad.
Ai-chan called her over for help, but it turned out to be a trick. She came to the club room in the main complex, got tied up, and was left alone with a strange boy… No way?
It was becoming more and more like the plots in those terrible doujin!
"Whether it's a prank or not, you should be very clear." Natsuki stepped in front of Chika, extended a finger, and gently lifted secretary Chika's chin, "Otherwise, why would your address change from Ai-chan to Hayasaka-san?"
Chika: "..."
That's right.
As an airhead, secretary Chika possessed incredibly sharp intuition, clearly sensing that what was happening before her was no mere prank.
"Natsuki-kun... you've just started high school, don't go down the wrong path."
Chika nervously advised.
Natsuki sat in the chair opposite Chika, spouting nonsense with a serious expression:
"If you only had three days left to live, what would you do?"
"Eh?" Chika blinked, asking cautiously, "What do you mean?"
"It's simple." Natsuki interlaced his fingers, saying faintly, "I have an incurable disease. The doctor gave me a diagnosis, and I only have three days left to live."
A terminal illness was a good excuse; it could cover up any inappropriate behavior.
"Um... you shouldn't give up on treatment." Chika said nervously, "I can ask my father to recommend internationally renowned doctors to you."
"I've already consulted many internationally renowned doctors, and they all told me to go home and live out my last days." Natsuki's tone was faint as he continued his role-play, "So, if it were Chika-chan... what would you do with your last three days?"
"Um..." Chika thought seriously, whispering, "I guess I'd spend my last moments with my family?"
Natsuki said expressionlessly:
"I don't have any family."
"Ah... I'm sorry." Chika quickly apologized, "Then, your best friends."
Natsuki said faintly:
"I only have one friend, a hamster I raised myself, but it didn't make it through last winter."
Chika: "..."
No family, only one friend who was a hamster, his life was too tragic!
Steady!
Don't panic!
The more critical the moment, the calmer you must remain!
"Um..." Chika said cautiously, "Natsuki-kun, don't you have any dreams?"
Natsuki retorted:
"You mean, I should pursue my dreams and leave no regrets in my final days?"
"Exactly, exactly!" Chika quickly nodded, "That's it!"
Natsuki suddenly smiled and said:
"You said it..."
For some reason, looking at Natsuki's smile, Chika suddenly felt a bad premonition.
"Um... Natsuki-kun, can you untie the rope first?" Chika whispered, "I can help you fulfill your dream."
"Of course not." Natsuki smiled, "My dream is about to come true."
"Eh?"
"I actually liked Chika-chan a long time ago, but Chika-chan would definitely not notice me." Natsuki interlaced his fingers, "So, in the last three days of my life, I want to date Chika-chan."
Chika: "..."
How could such a sacred thing as dating be agreed to out of sympathy!
Natsuki continued:
"Of course, I don't just want to date Chika-chan. There's also Kaguya-san, Tsubame-senpai, Hayasaka-san... If I could date all of them together, that would be even better."
Chika puffed out her cheeks, unable to help but complain and shout:
"Dating everyone together? You clearly want a harem!"
If there had been a slight hesitation just now about whether she should help fulfill his last wish, now there was no hesitation at all!
Harem scumbag, crawl as far away as possible!
"I knew no one would agree to this wish." Natsuki continued without changing his expression, "So I threatened Hayasaka-san's family to make her trick Chika-chan into coming here..."
"So that's it."
Chika secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ai-chan tricking her into coming here had a reason after all. Although it was still very upsetting, it was at least not as bad.
Natsuki continued:
"Then, I'm going to skip the dating stage entirely."
"Eh?" Chika froze, "Skip dating... what does that mean?"
"Of course, it means I'm going to do something lewd directly."
Natsuki spoke as he leaned closer, preparing to take advantage of secretary Chika.
"I-I'm going to call the police!"
Chika immediately panicked and quickly began to struggle.
Natsuki lowered his voice and said:
"I advise you not to do that... Chika-chan, you don't want Moeha to suffer, do you?"
"..."
Chika's body suddenly stiffened, and she looked over in a panic:
"What did you do to Moeha?!"
"Don't worry, I just hid Moeha. I'm not interested in junior high students." Natsuki spoke nonsense with a serious expression, "As long as Chika-chan doesn't resist, in three days, I'll tell you where Moeha is. Otherwise..."
"Natsuki-kun is too much!!!"
Chika shouted angrily.
"There are many evil people in the world, like me." Natsuki pointed to himself, "And someone who only has three days left to live won't care about the flood after they die."
Natsuki spoke as he leaned closer, preparing to take advantage of her.
Because Moeha was her weakness, Chika didn't dodge or resist this time. She just closed her eyes in despair, and tears streamed down her face.
This is bad.
It's just an anomaly space, but the crying expression is too realistic.
Then Natsuki found... he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Even though it wasn't a real person, seeing secretary Chika cry still made him feel heartache, and the campus game plan had to be changed.
With a helpless sigh, Natsuki stood up straight and gently stroked Chika's head.
"My heart, which had stopped beating, suddenly felt a pang of conscience..."
Natsuki spoke:
"So, I want to give Chika-chan a choice."
"W-what choice?"
Chika looked up with teary eyes.
"I can choose not to take advantage of you, and I can promise not to harm anyone, but." Natsuki sat opposite Chika, speaking sincerely, "But it would be too regrettable to leave this world without ever having dated anyone."
"So, if Chika-chan can help me achieve the accomplishment of dating Kaguya-san, Tsubame-senpai, Hayasaka-san, and Marin all at once, I'll tell you Moeha's whereabouts."
Chika sniffled, her eyes still teary:
"Really?"
Natsuki retorted:
"I could have done this and that to Chika-chan, but I held back. Could it still be fake?"
"I-I agree..." Chika said with teary eyes, "You untie me first."
Human nature leans towards compromise.
If you were to tear off the roof, everyone would surely try to stop you, but if you take a step back and open a window, they would easily agree.
Chika was exactly like this now.
Just wanting to date everyone together, and not taking away her purity, was certainly acceptable.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Natsuki voluntarily untied the rope, then said, "You can get it done after school this afternoon, right?"
Chika couldn't help but say:
"That's too fast!"
"No choice." Natsuki clutched his chest, "A terminal illness doesn't wait for anyone; every minute and every second is important."
"I'll try..."
Chika rubbed her wrists, stood up, and prepared to leave, "Then I'll go out?"
Natsuki nodded:
"Don't worry, I promise Moeha will be fine."
Of course she would be fine, because it was just a sudden whim, and he hadn't even made a move on Moeha yet.
Click.
The door opened.
Chika walked out of the club room.
In the corner.
An expressionless Maid Hayasaka stood in the shadows, silently observing all the movements in the club room.
Go back to class?
She was already a female character in an R-rated game; going to class no longer had any meaning.
"Hmm? She's out?"
Watching Chika push open the door and come out, Hayasaka's eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked closely.
Aside from her eyes being a little red, as if she had just cried, her clothes were neat and tidy, and her steps were steady. It seemed she hadn't suffered any humiliation.
What exactly happened inside the club room?
Why did he let Chika out?
Hesitating for a few seconds, Hayasaka suppressed the guilt of wanting to cover her face and flee, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.
Shame is meaningless!
The most important thing now is to find that guy's weakness and then destroy the entire game!
A world specifically for people to conquer and toy with, it's best to destroy it!
For this goal, she must collect as much information about that player as possible!
"Hayasaka-san..."
Chika quickly noticed Hayasaka in the corner, and said tearfully:
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."
Hayasaka: "..."
I just tied you up, and the first thing you say when we meet is an apology?
Chika whispered:
"Your family was also captured by Natsuki-kun, right?"
Hayasaka paused slightly, mumbling a vague affirmative.
"Natsuki-kun is also a pitiful person..." Chika continued, "He has a terminal illness and only three days left to live, which is why he's so extreme."
Hayasaka: "..."
Liar!
That guy is completely a liar!
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." Hayasaka lowered her voice, "Did that guy do anything to you?"
"Natsuki-kun originally wanted to do that kind of thing..." Chika's pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "But when I cried, he said his conscience hurt a lot, and in the end, he didn't do anything."
This is clearly a trick to play hard to get!
You should hate him fiercely, not blush!
"But Natsuki-kun captured Moeha..." Chika puffed out her cheeks, "He said he wants me to help him fulfill his dream before he'll release Moeha... Ai-chan, you must help me."
Hayasaka crossed her arms over her chest and said:
"What is his so-called dream?"
"It's... that..." Chika stretched out her finger and stammered, "Me, Ai-chan, Kaguya-chan, Tsubame-senpai from the second year, and Marin from the class next door, everyone, in front of the whole school, agree to date him together."
Hayasaka: "..."
What about the promised game?
It turns out it's all schemes and calculations, lies and betrayal. This isn't how a game is played at all!
"I understand..." Hayasaka exhaled softly, pressing her forehead, "I'll help you."
"Thank you, Ai-chan."
"..."
At the same time.
Natsuki went downstairs from the other side, arrived at the junior high department, and took Moeha away.
To put on a complete show, Moeha naturally had to be imprisoned first.
As for the place of detention... it was naturally the rooftop.
Click.
Natsuki carried Moeha, pushed the door open, and walked onto the rooftop.
"Bastard! You finally appeared!" Momo looked at the sky boredly, and upon seeing Natsuki appear, she shouted in surprise, "Hurry up and let me go!"
"Don't worry, let the mushroom mature a little longer." Natsuki put Moeha down, tied Moeha and Momo together, "To keep you from being bored, I also brought you a companion."
Momo turned her head to look at the sleeping Moeha and couldn't help but say angrily:
"A junior high student's uniform... You even stoop to junior high students?!"
Natsuki said without changing his expression:
"Although she's a junior high student, she's better developed than you."
"Bastard! Die!"
"..."
Natsuki chose to stay on the rooftop and did not go down. He chatted idly with Momo while waiting for the Strange Tale to attack.
However, for some reason, even after the mushroom matured, there was still no sign of the Strange Tale.
"This makes things difficult..."
Natsuki sighed helplessly, his gaze falling on Momo.
"What are you going to do?"
Momo immediately tensed up.
Natsuki extended his right hand and placed it on the girl's head:
"Don't be afraid, it'll feel good after a little pain."
Bastard!
Has he finally lost his patience and is going to do that to me?
Momo tightly pressed her legs together, and couldn't help but shout in shame:
"At least... at least move that junior high student to the side first..."
Pop.
Natsuki detonated the mushroom and said:
"It feels better with the junior high student watching."
"Pervert... Ugh!"
As the original sin erupted, Momo suddenly tilted her pretty face back, a bitter, muffled groan escaping her throat.
A moment later.
Under the eruption of the original sin of unfulfilled desire, Momo, who had chosen to indulge in the illusion and refused to wake up, finally had her eyes regain clarity.
"Bastard Natsuki..." Momo was soaked, sweating profusely, and gasped, "What did you do to me?!"
Natsuki asked:
"Momo-senpai, do you still remember why we came to school?"
"Of course, it's for the Strange Tale..." Momo suddenly widened her eyes, looking around in surprise, "How could the campus be like this?"
"Finally awake." Natsuki nodded upon hearing this, untied the ropes on Momo, and then explained, "The campus before us should be an anomaly domain. We fell into it the moment we stepped through the campus gate."
Momo tried to stand up, but her legs went soft, and she almost lost her balance, instinctively grabbing Natsuki's arm.
Skin touched skin.
The girl's breathing immediately became rapid, her skin flushed like fire, and her voice trembled as she said:
"Even... even if you say that... what's with that junior high student? And my body... it's so strange..."
Natsuki complained:
"That's because Momo-senpai has too much of the original sin of lust in her body."
