The colorful shooting star bullet cut through the air, accurately hitting Amamiya Natsuki, and then disappeared.
Amamiya Natsuki looked down at his thigh.
His clothes were not torn.
His skin was also completely intact.
"Senpai, Senpai~" Hayasaka Ai asked curiously, "How do you feel?"
Amamiya Natsuki rubbed the spot where he was shot:
"Honestly, I don't feel anything."
"Senpai~"
Hayasaka Ai was about to ask again when she suddenly noticed Miko looking at her with a subtle gaze. After a quick thought, she quickly guessed the reason.
Not good.
She had accidentally used a spoiled tone of voice just now, and Miko had noticed.
Today it was just Miko, but if she accidentally acted spoiled in front of the young lady one day, that would be real trouble.
It seems I need to maintain moderation from now on. If I act spoiled too often, forming a habit would be troublesome…
(Tsk, it's all this man's fault.)
The little person in the Spy Maid's heart bit her finger again.
(Hurry up and let me capture you, be my servant, damn it!)
"That's good." Hayasaka Ai covered her chest with her right hand, showing a relieved expression, and looked at Miko, "I was worried just now that if I hurt Senpai, Miko-senpai would feel distressed."
Diverting the blame!
Miko's pretty face flushed, and she moved her gaze away guiltily, saying:
"What are you talking about? Why would I feel distressed…?"
One hit KO.
Hayasaka Ai sighed in her heart.
She couldn't even last one round, completely insufficient.
At the same time.
Amamiya Natsuki suddenly felt that his condition was a bit off. He silently sat on the sofa, his left hand on his knee, and his right hand propping up his chin, like Rodin's classic sculpture.
"Eh, Senpai?"
Hayasaka Ai quickly noticed Amamiya Natsuki's abnormality, "Senpai, are you alright?"
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze seemed to penetrate the building, looking towards the distant sky, his voice exceptionally calm as he said:
"I'm fine."
Miko looked over speechless: "Why are you suddenly striking this pose?"
Amamiya Natsuki said calmly:
"This pose is conducive to thinking."
Hayasaka Ai rolled up a newspaper and handed it to Amamiya Natsuki: "Hmm, Senpai, what are you thinking about?"
"The universe, time, and life and death." Amamiya Natsuki maintained his posture, his voice low, "The universe is so vast, humans are so small, yet they always focus on individual emotions and desires. Not good, very not good."
Miko: "..."
"Stare—"
Hayasaka Ai covered her chest with her right hand, bent down, and waved her hand in front of Amamiya Natsuki's eyes.
"..."
Amamiya Natsuki looked straight ahead, his gaze without any fluctuation or change.
"Senpai's gaze is so serene," Hayasaka Ai extended a finger and poked Amamiya Natsuki's cheek. "It's as if he's truly contemplating the ultimate meaning of the universe and life."
Miko clasped her hands across her chest, her willow-like brows slightly furrowed, and said,
"Is it the effect of that gun just now?"
"It should be," Hayasaka Ai nodded, resting her chin on her right hand, a pensive expression on her face. She quickly snapped her fingers. "...I know what state Senpai is in now."
"What is it?"
Miko looked over curiously.
"Sage Time," Hayasaka Ai held up a finger. "Detached from the low-level and mundane interests of ordinary people, becoming desireless, uninterested in anything. It must be Sage Time, right?"
Miko: "..."
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
Miko was not an innocent young lady like Kaguya, so she naturally knew what Sage Time was.
It was said to be a special state, like a saint or a Buddha, detached from worldly affairs, ignoring the mundane world. Like a great sage from another world, he had already comprehended the truth of the world, and there was nothing left in the world that could pique his interest.
"Natsuki won't stay like this, will he?"
Miko said with some worry.
Last night, when she went to sleep, she was worried that Amamiya Natsuki might turn into a hungry wolf and be unable to control himself from assaulting her. Now, his appearance made her even more worried.
If she had to choose one, Miko would rather choose to be assaulted.
"Miko Senpai, don't worry," Hayasaka Ai assured her. "This state definitely won't last too long. The younger the boy, the shorter the time the Sage state can be maintained."
Miko: "..."
Sage Time, at first, was quite interesting, but after waiting a few minutes and seeing Amamiya Natsuki still motionless, she quickly grew bored.
"It's past eleven," Miko finished her drink, got up, and walked towards the kitchen. "I'll go make some food first."
Hayasaka Ai said crisply,
"I'll take care of Senpai."
"..."
Watching Miko enter the kitchen, Hayasaka Ai's eyes shifted. She wiggled her little bottom and sat closer to Amamiya Natsuki. Then, she extended a finger and lightly poked Amamiya Natsuki's cheek.
"Senpai, Senpai~ It's just the two of us alone again."
"..."
Amamiya Natsuki remained silent.
"Eh?" The Spy Maid blinked. "Senpai, why aren't you speaking?"
Amamiya Natsuki said indifferently,
"Meaningless conversations do not require an answer."
Hayasaka Ai: "..."
He actually said he didn't want to answer, how infuriating!
"Senpai, I'm very curious," Hayasaka Ai leaned forward, getting closer until her face was only a fist's distance from Amamiya Natsuki's. She used her seductive skills without reservation, her breath sweet and fragrant. "What are you thinking about?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked straight ahead, his eyes showing no ripple of emotion, as if his gaze passed through Hayasaka and was fixed on the unfathomable void. He said calmly,
"I am reflecting."
"Eh? What is that?"
"Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily. Flesh is weak, machine is ascendant."
Hayasaka Ai: "..."
"I don't understand, I don't understand at all," the Spy Maid poked Amamiya Natsuki's cheek again. In Sage Mode, Amamiya Natsuki would not resist at all. "Senpai, please speak to me like a normal person, thank you."
Amamiya Natsuki slowly said, "I am gradually understanding everything."
Hayasaka Ai: "..."
Ten minutes passed in a flash.
Hayasaka Ai began to panic a little.
After so long, Amamiya Natsuki still maintained his Sage form. During this time, except for blinking, his posture showed no change.
Hayasaka Ai was certain that the Sage state couldn't be a permanent buff, but she wasn't sure how long it would last.
What if the buff lasted three or four days? In this state, Amamiya Natsuki wouldn't even go to school, would he?
"Senpai, are you tired?"
"Not tired."
"How about a more comfortable position?" Hayasaka Ai tempted. "As long as Senpai nods, I can offer you a lap pillow, you know."
"No need."
"Tsk."
Hayasaka Ai bit her lower lip, glanced at Miko busy in the kitchen, and let out a soft 'tsk'.
This won't do.
Amamiya Natsuki, constantly in Sage state, seemed very troublesome. She had to get him out of Sage state.
The question was, how to break the Sage state?
Hayasaka Ai quickly thought of a famous bald monk in history.
Even Tang Sanzang couldn't help but be tempted when he met the Queen of the Women's Kingdom. You, a mere Sage, couldn't possibly have a more steadfast will than Tang Sanzang, could you?
Even a Sage might not be able to resist the temptation of beauty!
So...
"Senpai, do you want stockings?"
