"…I lost."
Fujiwara Chika easily accepted the fact of her defeat.
It had already been verified during yesterday's lunch break on the rooftop that Chaotic Unordered could not defeat Chaotic Evil.
"Rules are rules, and I'm a good sport."
The Secretary took a deep breath, raised her hand to tuck the strands of hair behind her ear, her pretty face slightly flushed, and leaned close to Amamiya Natsuki's ear, whispering.
Just a shout.
It didn't say it had to be shouted loudly in front of everyone. Whispering is fine, right?
This was Fujiwara Chika's strategy after much deliberation last night.
"Woof woof woof."
Hearing Fujiwara Chika's deliberately lowered shout, Amamiya Natsuki looked over speechlessly.
You said you'd be a good sport and keep your word, not break the rules, right?
The content you shouted isn't right!
"I'm done shouting."
Fujiwara Chika quickly sat up straight.
The other girls looked towards Amamiya Natsuki.
"She did shout." Amamiya Natsuki nodded, "I'll vouch for it."
"Eh?" Yurikawa Hana tilted her head in confusion, quickly noticing the blind spot, "Why is Natsuki-kun closing his eyes when he speaks?"
Why?
Of course, it's easier to lie with your eyes closed.
"Continue, continue." Fujiwara Chika coughed twice, quickly dealing the cards, "We can only play two games today; I have something else to do later."
"…"
There's no need to say much about the first game.
With everyone being a traitor, a world where only the Oppai girl got hurt was easily achieved.
And it was even a direct betrayal from a good friend.
"Miko has very good luck today." Yurikawa Hana smiled brightly, clearly quite happy that her friend won, "A crushing victory."
"Luck… it's alright." Miko bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, looking away with a guilty conscience.
She didn't want this kind of luck at all.
"Miko"
Mrs. Shimizu, who was observing from the side, floated over to Miko, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and smiled, "I'm counting on you."
Miko had no choice but to sigh silently in her heart.
Hana.
I'm sorry.
"As for the punishment…" Miko looked elsewhere and whispered, "Numbers three and four, hold hands for five minutes."
"Eh?" Yurikawa Hana was startled, her tone puzzled, "Why is it holding hands again?"
"Number three is me." Amamiya Natsuki raised his hand and looked at the ignorant little lamb girl, "The first game was mainly for warm-up. If you don't want to hold hands, we can also do fifty push-ups."
"I choose holding hands!"
Yurikawa Hana jumped in fright and quickly grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's hand, "Don't even mention fifty push-ups; I can't even do five."
"…"
Several minutes later.
Copy and Paste successful.
"Continue, continue."
Fujiwara Chika, full of enthusiasm, started the second round of the game.
This time, she didn't target the little lamb girl again, and the dice roll was normal. Everyone had a happy game.
"Let's stop playing here today." Fujiwara Chika was satisfied, "I need to go to the Office. We'll continue tomorrow."
Miko stood up and said, "I'm going back too."
"Miko, let's go together."
Yurikawa Hana naturally moved with her good friend.
As the girls left, Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya naturally fell behind.
Bang.
The door gently closed.
Amamiya Natsuki took out his notebook and pencil, looking at Kaguya: "Let's start the experiment. First, let's see if the skill has a casting delay."
"Okay." Shinomiya Kaguya nodded slightly, and quickly said, "I'm starting."
Amamiya Natsuki pressed the stopwatch on his phone and started timing.
"One second, two seconds, three seconds…"
A full three seconds passed before the Sheltered Ojou-sama's figure suddenly disappeared.
Amamiya Natsuki silently analyzed and extracted useful information.
"Entering the shadow state has a certain delay; it's not an instant skill. During this period, Kaguya can move. Inferring from this, she should be able to move while casting… Hmm?!"
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze paused slightly, falling on the clothes on the activity room floor.
School uniform skirt.
Black over-the-knee socks.
Red ribbon for tying hair.
Lightweight summer school uniform.
And what looked like very childish cartoon bears…
To be honest, someone suddenly disappearing, leaving only clothes floating down from the air, looked a little creepy.
But it was understandable.
Transforming into a Shadow Cat should be a body-shaping skill like 'Sheep Transformation Technique'. The body can change, but clothes are not human, so they naturally wouldn't shadow-transform with it.
For example, in the super-old superhero movie "Fantastic Four," the young lady gained invisibility after being exposed to cosmic radiation.
But every time she turned invisible, she had to strip completely naked!
This is the correct way to transform and become invisible. Settings where clothes also turn invisible are super unscientific.
As for why Mrs. Shimizu, being a ghost, wears clothes instead of being naked… because those aren't real clothes.
Amamiya Natsuki had already verified it.
When Mrs. Shimizu took off her stockings, the moment the stockings separated from her body, they would instantly disappear, clearly having no physical existence.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds…
The clothes lay quietly on the ground, the activity room was silent, without a single sound. The Sheltered Ojou-sama seemed to have vanished into thin air, a little scary.
"Kaguya-san?"
Amamiya Natsuki called softly, looking around.
"…"
No one responded.
In the empty activity room, there was no sign of Shinomiya Kaguya at all, not even a cat, as if she had accidentally made herself disappear.
Amamiya Natsuki frowned in thought for two seconds, then stood up and walked to the activity room window.
Swish.
The curtains were pulled open.
Bright sunlight immediately streamed in from outside the window, forming a bright pillar of light in the air, with tiny dust particles vaguely visible floating within it.
Amamiya Natsuki looked down.
On the floor, a black, ink-like cat shadow quietly appeared, right in front of him.
Clearly, Shinomiya Kaguya had been following closely beside him and had not entered another dimension.
"She can move silently in dark places, but can only be observed where there is light…"
The transformed Shadow Cat Miss Kaguya squatted on the floor, extending a small paw, wanting to bat Amamiya Natsuki's pant leg, but couldn't.
"Can you hear me?"
Amamiya Natsuki half-crouched.
"…"
The activity room was silent, with no response, only the cat's shadow constantly wriggling its body.
Amamiya Natsuki then said, "If you can hear me, wag your tail twice."
The cat's shadow on the floor gently wagged its tail.
"It seems she can hear."
Amamiya Natsuki recorded the data, extended his right hand, adjusted the angle to cast a shadow of his arm in the sunlight: "Try to shake my hand."
The cat followed, raising its paw to touch the shadow of the right hand on the ground.
The next second.
Amamiya Natsuki felt a subtle sensation on his hand. Looking at it, there was clearly nothing there, yet a clear physical sensation came from his hand, which was quite strange.
Trying to raise his hand, the shadow of his right hand on the ground quickly lifted the cat Kaguya.
"Shadows actually have weight, this is unscientific..."
His right hand suddenly sank.
The cat girl Miss detached from her shadow state and transformed back into a human, her milky white skin dazzlingly pale in the sunlight.
