"I'm home."
Amamiya Natsuki took out his key, opened the door, and entered the house.
"My phone, my phone!"
As soon as he entered, Mrs. Shimizu floated over to grab her beloved phone.
She was definitely a severe phone addict.
Amamiya Natsuki changed into slippers in the entryway, rubbed the silly dog wagging its tail and shaking its head as it came over, then walked into the living room, put down the fruits and drinks he had just bought at the supermarket, and sent a message to Miko.
"I'm home."
Miko was probably playing on her phone, and quickly replied: "Mom isn't asleep yet, I'll come over at ten."
"Then I'll take a shower first."
Amamiya Natsuki sent another message to Marin and Juju. After receiving replies from the two girls, he put down his phone, opened the windows for ventilation, then grabbed a change of clothes and went to shower.
After a comfortable bath, it was already past ten o'clock without him realizing it.
As soon as he sat down and turned on the TV, the doorbell quietly rang.
He walked over to open the door, and outside was Miko, who had slipped over in her pajamas, her long hair smoothly draped over her shoulders, dark and lustrous.
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
Miko walked into the entryway, her gaze checking Amamiya Natsuki's body up and down, her tone a little worried.
Hearing this, Amamiya Natsuki grabbed the hem of his shirt with both hands and rolled it up.
"What are you doing?"
Miko blinked in confusion.
Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:
"I already said I wasn't hurt, but you don't believe me. In that case, I can only strip naked for you to inspect."
"Ptooey~"
Miko's pretty face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but lightly spit.
"I believe you then... Hurry up and put your clothes on!"
"..."
They walked into the living room.
"Miko-chan, good evening~"
Mrs. Shimizu turned her head, smiling and waving.
"Shimizu-nee, good evening." Miko politely nodded, sat down on the sofa, then looked at Amamiya Natsuki, who sat beside her, and curiously asked, "What... did you encounter in the game?"
Although she wasn't a player and didn't want to be one, Miko's curiosity was no less.
"Indeed, I encountered many things..." Amamiya Natsuki didn't hide anything, recounting what happened in the dungeon as he spoke, peeling a lychee and holding it out to Miko, "Open your mouth."
"..."
Miko was startled by his words, and instinctively parted her pink lips.
Amamiya Natsuki smoothly placed the lychee into Miko's mouth.
The cool, sweet juice spread through her lips and teeth. Miko's eyes unconsciously curved, then her brows slightly furrowed as she noticed the blind spot, and she couldn't help but say:
"Wait... Why are you so proficient?!"
Why?
Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at Mrs. Shimizu beside him, and faintly replied:
"Of course, because I've practiced many times on others."
"Eh?!"
Hearing Amamiya Natsuki's frank answer, Miko's cheeks involuntarily puffed out.
Perhaps he wasn't lying to her, but she couldn't feel happy at all!
"Ah le, Miko-chan, don't be jealous yet." Mrs. Shimizu made a peace sign, smiling, "Natsuki fed me."
You're a Guardian Spirit, you're not even human anymore!
Miko's face flushed slightly, and she quickly switched to lazy mode, saying with a nonchalant, indolent tone:
"I'm not jealous at all..."
Amamiya Natsuki continued, explaining the reason for practicing the feeding game with Mrs. Shimizu.
"I see."
Miko nodded instinctively.
"Another one?"
Amamiya Natsuki held out a peeled lychee to Miko.
"I'll eat it myself." Miko quickly took the lychee.
She hadn't reacted just now, how could she let him keep feeding her!
"Eh..." Eating the lychee, Miko suddenly frowned, a small conflicted expression on her face, "I've already brushed my teeth."
Amamiya Natsuki casually said: "It seems the lychee isn't tasty."
Miko: "It's clearly delicious."
Amamiya Natsuki: "If it were truly delicious, would you still have the mind to think about whether you brushed your teeth?"
Miko: "..."
After a moment.
Amamiya Natsuki finished narrating his experiences in the dungeon.
"So many things happened..."
Miko gently exhaled. Being a player, it was indeed too dangerous.
"Eh eh, I saw a very shocking news." Mrs. Shimizu exclaimed.
Amamiya Natsuki looked over curiously: "What news?"
"Here, look."
Mrs. Shimizu held up her phone.
"The number of newborns last year was only 800,000!" Mrs. Shimizu complained, "I remember the year I passed away, there were still over a million newborns. The rate of decline is too fast!"
You're a ghost, what do you care about newborns? It's not your turn to worry about the country and its people!
"The number of newborns decreases every year, and the number of elderly people over sixty-five increases every year." Miko looked at the news on the phone, "Some experts predict that if this continues, Japan will disappear in a hundred years."
"Don't worry, it might not even last a hundred years." Amamiya Natsuki retorted, "Last year they also said Mount Fuji was about to erupt, and nuclear Godzilla might suddenly land."
"Eh eh eh?!"
Mrs. Shimizu suddenly covered her pink lips in shock.
"What?"
Miko leaned forward, looking at the phone curiously.
"Human pile... Kosai City, Shizuoka Prefecture... one hundred and twenty people..."
Miko's pretty face quickly flushed, her eyes wide in disbelief, and she couldn't help but retort: "Th-this... This must be fake news?!"
Amamiya Natsuki glanced at the news on the phone: "That's a police media account, so obviously, this is real news."
One hundred and twenty people in one villa... Miko bit her lower lip, no longer wanting to eat lychees.
Disgusting!
Doing that kind of thing with people you don't like, it's super disgusting no matter how you think about it!
"Today's young people are indeed terrifying." Mrs. Shimizu said with an amazed tone, "I can no longer understand it."
Amamiya Natsuki corrected her:
"These are all middle-aged people."
Mrs. Shimizu's reply was unassailable: "Before I passed away, they were still young people."
"..."
Miko frowned and said:
"This is already a criminal act, isn't it?"
"However, it's not." Amamiya Natsuki shook his head, "I remember the law explicitly states that only if you don't wear a single piece of clothing does it constitute an obscenity crime."
"In other words..."
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the girl's fair, delicate legs, "Even if you're only wearing a pair of stockings, it's not considered a criminal act."
Miko puffed out her cheeks and glared: "Don't look at me when you say that!"
"Natsuki-kun seems to know a lot." Mrs. Shimizu slid the screen, her tone surprised, "Sure enough, only two people were arrested in the end."
"I can't understand why there are such people in the world." Miko couldn't help but retort, "This is actually something that happened in another world, right?!"
"Miko-chan, I have to trouble you again tonight."
Mrs. Shimizu clasped her hands together and looked over.
"Eh?"
Mrs. Shimizu pointed to her translucent body: "In my current state, I can't play on my phone until morning."
"...I understand."
Miko pursed her pink lips and glanced at Amamiya Natsuki: "Upstairs, to your room."
