No boy could refuse a dessert handmade by a girl, right?
Next was to find an opportunity to hand-feed him.
All in all, I've got this man!
"I refuse."
Amamiya Natsuki glanced at the bento box and shook his head.
One sentence completely disrupted Hayasaka Ai's subsequent plan.
He actually refused?
Hayasaka Ai looked up in surprise.
You're not normal.
I'm not asking you to drink tea that will make your butt hurt tomorrow morning. By all accounts, you shouldn't refuse!
Tsk~
Could this man be suspicious of my true identity?
Hayasaka Ai held the bento box to her chest with both hands, her voice suddenly filled with disappointment:
"Um, these are daifuku I specially prepared for senpai…"
"I appreciate the thought, but you can take the daifuku back and eat them yourself," Amamiya Natsuki sighed softly. "Seeing daifuku reminds me of a sad past."
"Eh, what?"
Hayasaka Ai was startled, and her curiosity immediately surged.
Painful memory?
What is that?
Amamiya Natsuki looked up at the sky, where a bright silver moon cast its watery glow. He said wistfully, "There once was a very cute girl, my elementary school deskmate. She had a beautiful smile and loved strawberry daifuku. And then she…"
"And then what?"
Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but press.
Could it be the last gift from a former girlfriend before they broke up?
Strange.
According to previous investigations, this man had no ex-girlfriends at all.
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Hayasaka Ai: "And then she got a cavity."
Hayasaka Ai: "…"
"From then on, I decided," Amamiya Natsuki said with a serious expression, "that after brushing my teeth at night, I would absolutely not eat anything."
Hayasaka Ai: "…"
Darn it! It was just such a boring reason as brushing his teeth. You could just eat it and brush again when you get back!
Hayasaka Ai's cheeks quickly puffed out, and she couldn't help but want to stomp her foot.
This man really was infuriating.
"Do you want me to paste the skill for you today?"
Amamiya Natsuki asked.
"Yes." Hayasaka Ai nodded. Her primary goal for coming was Evil Spirit Banishing. "Evil Spirits often wander into the room, and I'm worried I won't be able to resist."
"Put the daifuku back in your schoolbag and eat them yourself when you get back tonight," Amamiya Natsuki said. "Give me your hand."
"I'm causing senpai trouble."
Hayasaka Ai extended her hand.
Amamiya Natsuki gently held it, feeling the girl's skin, which was delicate and smooth, cool to the touch, and very comfortable to hold.
"Senpai, I want to try that coin again today."
Hayasaka Ai looked up, stating her second objective for the day.
"Courageous, bold, good." Amamiya Natsuki gave a thumbs up. "Then I'll trouble you with the charging."
"Huh??"
What does 'charging' mean?
Amamiya Natsuki took out the coin and handed it to the Spy Maid: "Still going to the Park today?"
"If Senpai says Park, then it's the Park."
Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly and took a baseball cap from her backpack, putting it on her head.
When you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can make you choke. It's indeed not good to go to crowded places.
"Watch the ground," Amamiya Natsuki reminded her. "Be careful not to turn into a chewing gum warrior again."
Hayasaka Ai's pretty face tightened slightly: "…I will absolutely not make the same mistake twice!"
The two walked to the Park without incident, safe and sound.
Although there were children chasing each other with takoyaki during this time, Hayasaka Ai successfully avoided them.
Entering the Park.
Amamiya Natsuki led the Spy Maid, preparing to sit on yesterday's bench to rest.
Rounding a bush, a couple appeared in their sight. By their age, they seemed to be only Junior high school students.
The two junior high school students sat on the bench… accurately, the girl was sitting on the boy's lap, embracing each other, being clingy and affectionate, and the smell of dog food wafted in the air.
"Ah…"
Seeing two people suddenly appear in the Park, the girl was startled and cried out.
Amamiya Natsuki politely apologized: "Excuse us, please continue."
"Let's go quickly."
Hayasaka Ai pulled Amamiya Natsuki and turned to leave.
Don't speak at a time like this!
"There should be other benches in the Park…"
Hayasaka Ai's voice trailed off mid-sentence, and her steps abruptly stopped.
"What?" Amamiya Natsuki quickly reacted. "Did you step on something?"
"…"
Hayasaka Ai bit her lower lip tightly and nodded with difficulty.
The feeling under her foot was extremely uncomfortable, making Hayasaka Ai's scalp tingle and her whole body feel unwell.
"Indeed, you can't just step on the grass indiscriminately; it's easy to get hit," Amamiya Natsuki looked down. "Two pieces of news, one good, one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Hayasaka Ai pulled the brim of her baseball cap down: "The good news."
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"It's not chewing gum."
After a pause, Amamiya Natsuki added: "The bad news is…"
"No need to say it."
Hayasaka Ai bit her silver teeth, already guessing what it was.
People who walk their dogs without a leash, and those who don't clean up after their dogs, should all be sentenced!
"Seeing is believing; don't let illusions blind your eyes," Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and half-squatted. "You thought it was [beep—], but it's just a rotten apple."
"Eh?"
Hayasaka Ai looked down in surprise upon hearing this and found it was indeed a rotten apple.
"An apple is fine."
Hayasaka Ai breathed a sigh of relief and lifted her foot, preparing to walk to the side.
Although it was still a bit disgusting, it was barely acceptable.
"Don't step on it."
Amamiya Natsuki urgently warned her.
"How…?"
Hayasaka Ai's gaze instinctively swept over, and upon seeing a black blob, she quickly tried to dodge, which instead made her lose her balance.
Darn it, darn it, darn it!
As a professionally trained Spy Maid, Hayasaka Ai's physical explosiveness was quite strong. She suddenly distorted her body, wrapped her arms around Amamiya Natsuki's neck, and hung on Amamiya Natsuki like a koala.
Amamiya Natsuki reached out and supported the Spy Maid's buttocks, steadying her.
"So heavy."
"What's heavy?" Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but retort, "I'm clearly only ninety pounds!"
When it came to her weight, even a professionally trained spy couldn't remain calm.
Amamiya Natsuki stepped back two paces, off the grass, and set her down:
"Promise me, if you're ever unlucky again, don't go near the lawn."
"…"
Half an hour passed in a flash.
The bad luck buff finally wore off.
"Let's go back."
Amamiya Natsuki waved and said goodbye.
Watching Amamiya Natsuki's retreating back, Hayasaka Ai bit her lower lip and stomped her right foot unhappily.
Dealing with bad luck required extreme caution, making it impossible to launch an attack.
Today's operation.
Hayasaka Ai, failed.
The journey back was silent.
As soon as he returned home, Amamiya Natsuki received a message from Miko.
"Natsuki, are you still awake?"
"No."
Miko: "There's a female ghost in my room, sitting by the bed staring at me… I'll sleep over tonight."
Amamiya Natsuki: "Hurry over, I've already thrown up three times after one meal."
Miko: "That's disgusting."
Amamiya Natsuki: "Then let us sleep in the same bed, side by side."
Miko: "One hundred percent no… Mom has already gone back to her room, I don't know if she's asleep, I'll go over later and send you a message then."
