"Senpai, I'm going back."
Hayasaka Ai waved goodbye.
The daily 'Evil Spirit Banishing' had been obtained, and since she couldn't flip the coin today, it was time to go back and clear out the evil spirits.
Amamiya Natsuki saw the girl to the door.
"Be careful."
Hayasaka Ai nodded: "I'll text you when I get to the apartment."
Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"If you need anything tomorrow, you can come directly to my house."
"Understood, Senpai."
"..."
Watching Hayasaka Ai leave, Amamiya Natsuki returned to the living room and continued playing the game.
It must be said that the young lady in "Young Lady's Shameful Academy," recommended by Kitagawa, was indeed both moist and interesting.
In a flash, it was half past ten at night.
The doorbell quietly rang.
Amamiya Natsuki got up and opened the door.
Needless to say, the person arriving in the middle of the night was Miko.
Staying out all night, once it happened the first time, it would naturally happen a second time.
"Come in." Amamiya Natsuki looked outside. "No evil spirits chasing you today?"
"How could there be every day?" Miko stepped inside. "Let me in first, it'll be troublesome if someone sees me."
"No trouble." Amamiya Natsuki said seriously, "We are innocent childhood friends, a clear conscience fears no slander. It's very normal and reasonable for you to come over secretly in the middle of the night to study, isn't it?"
"How is that normal at all!"
Miko couldn't help but glare, closing the door with a 'thud', then expertly changed into slippers, bringing with her a warm, fragrant breeze as she padded into the living room.
Yesterday was the first time, so Miko was inevitably a bit nervous, but today she was much more relaxed.
She came directly in her pajamas, without bothering to change, carrying a backpack, and even brought her favorite dog-shaped pillow.
"Here." Amamiya Natsuki poured a glass of milk and handed it to Miko. "When you went back this morning, your aunt didn't notice you, did she?"
"No." Miko took the milk and took a sip. "When I went back, Mom and Kyosuke weren't up yet."
The black-haired girl, while speaking, placed the pillow in her arms, leaning diagonally against the armrest of the sofa; in short, she sat however was most comfortable.
"You got up early." Amamiya Natsuki sat next to Miko and picked up the remote control. "Going back at 6:30 is not late at all. From now on, sleep until 7 o'clock, then pretend to run back."
"No, I refuse." Miko retorted, "Once in a while is fine, but if I run every day, Mom will definitely see through it, right?"
Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "After all, you're a lazy girl. If you suddenly said you were getting up early to run every day, I wouldn't believe it either."
"Nagging." Miko lifted her foot and lightly kicked Amamiya Natsuki's leg. "Tomorrow is garbage day. Have you sorted the trash?"
"No."
"If you miss it, you'll have to wait a few days, and the weather is getting hot now, so it's better to throw away the trash sooner." Miko said, finishing her milk, and stood up, "I'll go sort the trash. Remember to take it out when you leave tomorrow morning."
"Thank you for your hard work, Miko-sama."
"If you think I'm working hard, why don't you come and help?"
"Ouch, my tibia is fractured, I can't get up."
"You're so lazy."
"..."
With her father's passing and her mother working hard to support the family, and a younger brother who had just started elementary school, the housework naturally fell to Miko.
After two years of practice, Miko's 'Wife's Housekeeping' skill had reached max level.
After tidying up the trash, Miko got a mop and started mopping the floor, soon arriving in front of Amamiya Natsuki and instructing:
"Lift your feet."
"Yes."
Amamiya Natsuki lifted his feet.
Miko bent down and continued with the housework.
Amamiya Natsuki was watching TV, but suddenly felt his vision distorted by an unknown gravitational pull, involuntarily falling onto Miko.
Miko was wearing button-up pajamas, which were quite loose for comfort.
As is well known, girls do not wear underwear when they sleep.
So...
The moon was so white.
The once ordinary childhood friend had now become a seductive girl, estimated to be able to defeat five Miss Kaguya.
The disparity between people can sometimes be so vast; two girls of sixteen, yet several orders of magnitude apart.
Girls are always very sensitive to a boy's gaze.
In just a second or two, Miko noticed Amamiya Natsuki's gaze, quickly raised her arm to cover her chest, her pretty face rapidly flushed, and she glared at him shyly.
Amamiya Natsuki silently raised his hands: "Do you believe me if I say I didn't see anything?"
Miko bit her silver teeth, both shy and angry: "...You're still talking!"
"..."
In a blink of an eye, it was eleven o'clock at night.
The night was deep.
All was quiet.
"Time to sleep." Amamiya Natsuki closed his textbook and turned off the lights.
Miko assented, put down her phone, and lay down on her side on the tatami mat:
"Good night."
Quietly closing one eye, Miko observed Amamiya Natsuki as she spoke, feeling a little nervous.
Never trust a boy's self-control; some say they can hold out for seven days, but can't even make it three.
What if Natsuki couldn't resist and attacked her in the night after she fell asleep?
Better safe than sorry.
The manga said that boys are beasts at night, so there's a possibility of him attacking her in the night!
If she walked strangely tomorrow morning, her mom would definitely be suspicious, right?
Amidst her wild thoughts, a wave of drowsiness surged over her.
Miko silently hugged the pillow in her arms, feeling both nervous and a subtle, unexplainable anticipation, as she drifted off to sleep.
The night passed without a word.
The next day.
"Mmm, good morning~"
Miko opened her eyes to the sound of the alarm clock, turned off her phone alarm, and lazily greeted.
She quietly moved her body, feeling comfortable and without any discomfort, clearly nothing had happened last night.
While secretly sighing in relief, Miko also felt a strange sense of loss.
"Do you want to sleep a little more?"
Amamiya Natsuki woke up.
"No more sleeping." Miko pouted slightly, "Let's go home, let's go home."
"Wait a moment." Amamiya Natsuki called out.
Miko paused, turning her head to look.
Amamiya Natsuki reminded her:
"You were careless."
"Huh?"
"You haven't changed out of your pajamas yet."
Miko: "…"
Seven thirty in the morning.
Amamiya Natsuki ate breakfast and left, meeting up with Miko and Yurikawa Hana, and the three of them went to school together.
"Miko, Hana-chan, good morning."
At the school gate, Fujiwara Chika was waiting eagerly, her smile bright.
"Chika-chan, good morning." Miko said softly.
Yurikawa Hana blinked, asking curiously:
"Huh, Chika-chan, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"
"…"
Fujiwara Chika's eyes were full of resentment as she looked towards Amamiya Natsuki.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked back calmly.
Being harassed by evil spirits isn't someone else's fault, and if you can't sleep, you can't blame others!
"I got engrossed in reading last night and went to bed quite late." Fujiwara Chika's gaze drifted, finding a clumsy excuse, "Let's go, let's head to the Game Club."
"Wait for me." A Blonde Hot Girl raised her right hand and jogged over, her smile as bright and radiant as sunshine, "I want to play too."
Yesterday, Kitagawa Marin had already added Yurikawa Hana's contact information, so now there was no need to wait around; 'making an appointment in advance' was enough.
Miko's eyes shifted: "…Kaguya-san is here."
