"Thump!"
Amamiya Natsuki struck the wall with a baseball bat.
The dull thud quickly attracted the attention of the two people and two dogs.
As Amamiya Natsuki swung the baseball bat through the air, the furious, incessantly barking dog instantly quieted down—
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is not only a human instinct, but dogs are no exception.
The fear of the dog-beating stick technique is deeply ingrained in the genes of all dogs.
Leaving aside picky eating, what should you do if a dog guards its food, bites people, or snarls and growls at family members?
Grab a handy stick and give it a beating.
If once isn't enough, then do it a few more times.
If people can be beaten into submission, let alone just a dog.
"Phew..."
Seeing that the fierce dog was no longer baring its teeth and growling, Fujiwara Moeha immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled Pes back.
"Woof woof."
Pes, seeing Amamiya Natsuki, immediately wagged its tail happily.
When Fujiwara Chika had called Amamiya Natsuki to exorcise her house before, Amamiya Natsuki had fed Pes treats. This dog, timid as it was, didn't seem to have low intelligence, clearly still remembering Amamiya Natsuki.
Seeing this, the woman holding the aggressive dog frowned slightly:
"You actually dared to hit my Marshmallow?"
Your dog is clearly a large hunting dog. It looks very fierce and doesn't match the name Marshmallow at all!
"As a baseball enthusiast, it's perfectly normal for me to practice a few swings when I have nothing else to do."
Amamiya Natsuki said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If I'm not mistaken, aggressive dog breeds are not allowed to be kept in the city."
"That's right." Fujiwara Moeha naturally saw that Amamiya Natsuki was helping her, so of course, she was on the same side at this moment, chiming in crisply, "It's too dangerous to keep this kind of dog in the city. It almost bit Pes just now!"
"Hmph, but it didn't bite, did it?"
The woman snorted softly, clearly unconcerned.
Rules that ordinary people must follow mean nothing in the eyes of the upper class.
Fujiwara Moeha clenched her pink fist and couldn't help but shout:
"It would already be too late if it bit Pes!"
The woman said coldly:
"Wasn't your dog the one who suddenly came over to provoke mine?"
"No, it wasn't provocation!" Fujiwara Moeha retorted, "It was clearly saying hello!"
"So, you're not denying that your dog came over first?"
"Th-that..."
Fujiwara Moeha stammered, unable to help but look up at Amamiya Natsuki.
This 'sister-beast' resembled Chika in appearance, the kind where you could tell they were sisters at a glance. Her eyes were very large and lively, and she was a little shorter, but her figure was surprisingly good—at least enough to beat three Kaguyas.
"Since both sides are at fault, wouldn't it be best for both to apologize?"
Amamiya Natsuki walked out of the building's shadow.
Arguing over who is right or wrong is meaningless. Judges only consider established criminal facts.
"Heh..."
The woman snorted softly.
The next second.
After her gaze fell on Amamiya Natsuki's face, the woman's eyes immediately lit up, and she suddenly changed her tone:
"You have a point, I am indeed at fault."
"Eh, eh, eh?"
Fujiwara Moeha's eyes widened, looking over in shock.
Her impatient tone and expression just now clearly indicated that she didn't think she was wrong, so why the sudden change of heart?
The woman's eyes shifted, looking at Fujiwara Moeha, and she smiled, "I'm so sorry, my marshmallow just now scared you."
"Ah..." Fujiwara Moeha's expression was blank, still a bit confused, and she instinctively bowed, "I'm sorry, Pes was also at fault."
"Because some things happened at home, I'm in a very bad mood, and my attitude was a bit off just now. How about I treat you to coffee as an apology?"
As the woman spoke, she looked at Amamiya Natsuki, a smile on her lips, and she gave a slight wink.
Amamiya Natsuki: "..."
That was a flirtatious wink, wasn't it?
It must have been!
Apologizing with coffee was fake; her true intention was clearly elsewhere!
Earlier in the morning at home, that Spy Maid had also winked, but compared to the lady in front of him, it was completely on a different level.
After all, one was a dating sims only virgin who only talked on paper, while the other was a truly experienced Old Driver. There was no comparison in terms of driving experience or mileage.
Amamiya Natsuki instantly understood the reason.
It was the passive effect of the Love Warrior title.
Although the woman in front of him was extremely well-preserved, there were faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, indicating she was clearly older. She wore a ring on her right hand, evidently a married lady.
Since she was a lady, she couldn't escape the influence of the Prime Minister's Aura!
"Thank you, but no need," Amamiya Natsuki politely refused, "I still have things to attend to."
To be fair, although the lady in front of him was a bit older, both her figure and appearance were quite good. Every frown and smile was full of charm, and many people would probably be willing to accompany her for coffee.
However, Amamiya Natsuki remembered his purpose for this trip. Secretary-sama was still waiting ahead, so he easily extinguished the idea of driving a big truck.
Driving a big truck was a road of One Goes Without Return; once you stepped onto it, you could never go back!
"It's okay." The beautiful lady wasn't angry about being rejected. She smiled and took out her phone. "Let's exchange contact information. We can have coffee together another day when you're free."
Amamiya Natsuki: "..."
The Prime Minister's Aura was terrifying; the beautiful lady was chasing him, wanting him to drive a big truck!
This was just the passive effect of the title. What would happen if he used the title's active skill?
He wouldn't lose his mind and turn into a pet dog begging its owner for bones, would he?
That should be impossible.
Amamiya Natsuki thought carefully. The title's effect should be related to various factors, such as appearance, and also dissatisfaction with life, spiritual emptiness, physical frustration, and so on—
He had encountered so many ladies walking along the way just now, but none of them were as proactive as the one in front of him.
"Eh... Eh eh?!"
Fujiwara Moeha blinked blankly for a while, finally realizing.
This... this woman actually wanted to...!
As a junior high third-year girl, Fujiwara Moeha's knowledge reserve was neither too much nor too little, but she was definitely not an aseptic girl like Kaguya. She hadn't reacted at first, but now she finally saw through the beautiful lady's sinister intentions.
It's that kind of thing, isn't it?
It must be!
No!
Her Senpai stepped forward to help her; at a time like this, she absolutely couldn't stand by and watch her Senpai fall into the abyss. She would definitely regret it for the rest of her life!
Fujiwara Moeha mustered her courage, quickly stepped half a Pes forward, and hugged Amamiya Natsuki's arm. With a flushed face, her slender twin tails gently trembled as she said:
"Natsuki-kun, let's go quickly!"
"Hmm? You know me?"
Amamiya Natsuki was startled by the words and looked at Fujiwara Moeha in surprise.
He had never met Fujiwara Moeha before, and today was the first time they spoke. Could it be Chika?
"Senpai, let's talk as we go..."
Fujiwara Moeha's face was burning hot. She tightly hugged Amamiya Natsuki's arm and pulled him to walk out.
Calm down!
Fujiwara Moeha!
You are saving a lost lamb about to go astray!
"I'm also a Shuchiin student, but I'm in junior high third year. A few days ago, when I went to the high school division with friends, I accidentally heard Natsuki-kun's name..." Fujiwara Moeha looked up, "Senpai actually defeated Shinomiya-senpai and topped the grade, super amazing! Many people in our junior high division know Senpai!"
Amamiya Natsuki shrugged: "I never thought I'd become a campus celebrity."
Becoming a campus celebrity wasn't actually difficult.
First, be good-looking, as good-looking people naturally have a spotlight.
Second, achieve something eye-catching, such as defeating Kaguya and topping the Shuchiin grade.
Amamiya Natsuki met both of these points, so becoming a campus celebrity was normal.
"Wait a moment..."
The beautiful lady behind him called out, holding her dog.
"S-she actually caught up?!"
Fujiwara Moeha had already intended to let go of his hand, but hearing the shout, she turned to look and saw the persistent lady chasing after them. She immediately became vigilant, re-hugged Amamiya Natsuki tightly, and whispered:
"Senpai, run!"
"..."
After walking a short distance and finally shaking off the lady who wanted to drive a big truck, Amamiya Natsuki suddenly felt an incredulous gaze fall upon him.
"Stare—"
Upon sensing it, Amamiya Natsuki quickly looked over and saw a girl with a black bow tied on her forehead, holding two crepes in her hands, standing across the street. Her beautiful eyes were wide, her pink lips slightly parted, and her face was filled with a complex expression of betrayal and cuckoldry.
"Eh, Big Sister?"
Fujiwara Moeha also noticed her own Big Sister and muttered to herself, "Strange, why does Big Sister seem so angry?"
Of course she was angry! Even if Kaguya were here, she wouldn't be able to remain indifferent!
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted downwards, looking at his arm, which was being hugged by the junior high girl.
He had to admit, even though she was a junior high student, her development could at least beat several Kaguya. The Fujiwara family's genes were indeed excellent.
Fujiwara Moeha's face flushed, and only then did she remember that she hadn't let go. She quickly released her hand and bowed:
"I'm sorry, Senpai!"
The person you should be apologizing to is your Big Sister, not me.
"I caused you trouble today, Senpai," Fujiwara Moeha said with a flushed face, "My Big Sister is across the street. I'll go home with Big Sister. Natsuki-kun has other things to do, so I won't bother you anymore."
I'm sorry, please leave your Big Sister here.
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Chika across the street, his eyes asking if they should acknowledge each other.
"Hmph!"
Secretary-sama puffed out her pink cheeks, turned her head away, and made an expression as if she didn't know him.
Amamiya Natsuki sighed helplessly and could only bid farewell to Fujiwara Moeha: "You go ahead."
"Goodbye, Natsuki-kun." Fujiwara Moeha was about to leave with her dog. "Oh, by the way, my name is Moeha, Fujiwara Moeha. Please remember my name, Senpai."
No need for introductions, I already know who you are!
Amamiya Natsuki stood still, watching Fujiwara Moeha run across the street with her dog. Then, the two pink-haired sisters started whispering to each other, but the distance was too far to hear clearly.
He didn't know what the two sisters said, but they walked home together, holding the dog.
Amamiya Natsuki waited silently across the street.
Not long after, Secretary-sama's figure reappeared.
"That girl just now was my younger sister, Moeha." Fujiwara Chika's tone was incredibly resentful, clearly having already learned the truth from her sister.
"I know," Amamiya Natsuki nodded. "I saw a photo of your sister and your sister with Pes in your room before."
Besides that, during their video chat that day, Fujiwara Chika couldn't turn off the video chat, and he even saw the bathroom version of Moeha.
Fujiwara Chika muttered:
"I already know what happened... It's too much of a coincidence that you two met."
"It wasn't fate that brought Moeha and me together," Amamiya Natsuki retorted, "It was actually you."
Fujiwara Chika: "..."
If she hadn't called Amamiya Natsuki over, he certainly wouldn't have appeared nearby.
So... she was the one who brought them together?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!
"Moeha also said she's preparing a gift to thank you," Fujiwara Chika put her hands behind her back and tilted her head to look at him. "...Moeha is very cute, isn't she?"
"Very cute."
Amamiya Natsuki spoke truthfully.
Whether she was cute or not was obvious to everyone; he couldn't just lie with his eyes open.
"Moeha is still just a junior high student," Fujiwara Chika continued, "It's against the law to make a move on a junior high student. Natsuki-kun, don't step onto the path of illegal crime just because Moeha is cute."
"You underestimate junior high students nowadays," Amamiya Natsuki retorted, "A certain big-foreheaded girl already became the ceiling of romance in junior high, and Moeha will be a high school student next year, won't she?"
"Hmm?"
Fujiwara Chika tilted her head to look, the highlights in her eyes gradually dimming.
"Don't worry, I promise I won't bully Moeha." Amamiya Natsuki reached out and held Secretary-sama's soft hand. The girl's skin was delicate and smooth, feeling excellent. "It's just that the reason is wrong."
"Eh? What do you mean?"
Fujiwara Chika was puzzled.
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Secretary-sama: "junior high students or elementary school students are fine, what's important is your sister."
Even a chaotic girl whose head was only filled with eating, drinking, playing, and gossip wouldn't agree to her sister being bullied.
Fujiwara Chika's pretty face flushed slightly, and she averted her gaze, saying:
"You decide that kind of thing yourself... Wait, did you just say elementary school students are fine too?"
"I said so."
"I didn't realize you were a lolicon."
Amamiya Natsuki said without changing his expression:
"I admitted it at the restaurant, didn't I?"
Fujiwara Chika: "..."
There was no need to say more about what happened next.
After Evil Spirit Banishing was successfully applied, Fujiwara Chika treated him. The two of them strolled and ate along the Commercial Street, tasting delicious food until nine o'clock at night. Only then, when she could eat no more, did Fujiwara Chika wave goodbye contentedly, and she and Amamiya Natsuki each went home.
The night passed without incident.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Amamiya Natsuki thought he could have a peaceful weekend at home, but who knew that shortly after waking up in the morning, he received a message from Juju-sama.
"...Are you free this morning?"
Amamiya Natsuki: "Screenshot taken."
"Hmm?"
"This is the first time Juju-sama has actively messaged me all weekend."
"It was only yesterday! Besides, you didn't proactively message me either!","Are you free this morning to continue playing Magical Girl?","Of course not, it's a rare day off, I just want to lie at home… It's Komi." Juju continued to send messages, "Komi said that a very scary Evil Spirit suddenly appeared yesterday and was entrenched in her home, so she wants another Evil Spirit Banishing."
Amamiya Natsuki said speechlessly:
"The contact information was added the day before yesterday, why didn't Komi tell me directly?","No choice, Komi is too shy." Life is not easy, Juju sighed, "...Anyway, see you later."
