They tidied up the room.
The two went downstairs to the living room.
Amamiya Natsuki applied an Evil Spirit Banishing to Juju, then said:
"Want to eat before you go back?"
"No." Juju picked up her schoolbag and stood up to leave. "I'm already full!"
"Such a small appetite, no wonder you have no strength at all."
"…"
Juju paused at his words, her footsteps becoming noticeably louder again.
…
At 9:30 PM.
Amamiya Natsuki was reading when the doorbell suddenly rang.
He got up and opened the door. A blonde girl stood prettily outside, leaning forward, waving hello, her charming smile seemingly brightening the night.
"Senpai, Senpai~ I'm bothering you again."
Amamiya Natsuki turned and went inside: "Come in."
"Senpai, have you missed me these past two days?"
Hayasaka Ai entered the genkan, skillfully changed into slippers, tilted her head at a cute angle, and closed one eye, saying:
"I've been thinking of Senpai every day these past few days, you know, three times a day, once in the morning, noon, and evening."
Amamiya Natsuki retorted:
"So regular, you must be really tired."
"Hmph hmph." The Spy Maid put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and moved closer, a sweet apple scent quietly wafting over. "Senpai still hasn't answered my question."
Amamiya Natsuki sniffed his nose.
The scent had changed.
Before, it was citrus; now it was apple… So, she deliberately changed the scent, deliberately got this close, and then let him smell it?
Too bad your disguise has already been exposed; it's too late to make up for it now!
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Hayasaka: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"At a time like this, please say something that will make Hanamori happy." Hayasaka Ai clasped her hands in front of her chest. "After working hard at school all day and then working hard at the restaurant until now, if I hear Senpai say something negative, I'll be too sad to sleep tonight."
Is carrying a lollipop around school and playing called hard work?
The restaurant job is probably fake too!
Amamiya Natsuki didn't expose her. Since it was an act, he would naturally play along: "Yes, I did miss you."
"Eh heh~"
Hayasaka Ai raised her right hand, making a peace sign by her right eye, her smile sweet and charming: "Hanamori-chan wins big!"
Amamiya Natsuki: "…"
The difference from the delinquent girl at school was too great. If he couldn't see the prompt, he really wouldn't recognize them as the same person.
Girls really are natural actresses.
"Here." Amamiya Natsuki took a can of drink and handed it to Hayasaka. "Why do you always come so late every day?"
"Thank you, Senpai." Hayasaka Ai sat down on the sofa and said pitifully, "I can't help it, because I'm always working, so I can only come to Senpai's house after I get off work."
She must be lying.
Amamiya Natsuki had already guessed why Hayasaka was so late.
It was clearly because Kaguya had already gone to bed!
"Senpai, Senpai, please apply an Evil Spirit Banishing for me." The Spy Maid extended her soft, delicate hand, stating her purpose. "Evil Spirits often appear in the apartment I live in, and I'm so worried about accidentally being discovered by them."
Amamiya Natsuki held Hayasaka Ai's right hand, and while applying the skill, he said:
"If I remember correctly, you're currently living alone in an apartment, right?"
"That's right." Hayasaka Ai nodded, her eyes bright. "The apartment is a bit far from Senpai's house, so I'm a bit troubled. If I lived closer, I could see Senpai more conveniently."
Hayasaka Ai continued her strategy.
She wouldn't miss any opportunity to conquer him, only wanting to turn the guy in front of her into her male servant!
Amamiya Natsuki suddenly smiled and said:
"I have a way to make you no longer troubled."
"Eh?" Hayasaka Ai was startled. "What way?"
"It's very simple." Amamiya Natsuki said, "You can just move in."
"Eh, eh, eh?!"
Hayasaka Ai covered her chest with her right hand, leaned back, and shouted cautiously: "Senpai, are you inviting me to live together?"
"No confession, no dating, just fast-forwarding directly to cohabitation? I'm sorry, the progress is too fast, I can't accept it!"
"It's not cohabitation; you can think of it as sharing a rental." Amamiya Natsuki said calmly, "Besides my and my parents' rooms, there are two rooms left on the second floor, which I can rent to you. The rent is only 998 yen, and utilities are split. How about it?"
Hayasaka Ai: "…"
Sharing a rental would definitely be impossible.
She only had time to act after the Young Lady went to sleep, and she couldn't be in two places at once, so moving in to share a rental was definitely not an option.
"Mom said you can't eat pie that falls from the sky." Hayasaka Ai's mind raced, and she continued to cover her chest, shrinking into the corner of the sofa. "Senpai's rent is so low, he must be planning something bad, right?"
"Like in the middle of the night, while I'm asleep, secretly sneaking into my room and doing this and that to me."
"I'm sorry, Senpai's scheme has been exposed by me!"
"I see." Amamiya Natsuki nodded in agreement. "Since you think it's too low, then it's 100,000 yen a month."
Hayasaka Ai: "…"
The focus is on chastity! Not the low rent!
"I know Senpai wants to take care of me…" Hayasaka Ai sighed softly, her eyes shifting as she whispered, "But if I move in, it's too far from the school where I attend classes."
"I'm not asking you to walk to school." Amamiya Natsuki said righteously, "If you wake up early and take the train, no matter how far the school is, you can still arrive before class, right?"
Hayasaka Ai: "…"
This man is not right!
He was clearly pulling away before, but today he actually invited her to live together?
Was it a change of heart, or did he have an ulterior motive?
Anyway, it couldn't be that she had exposed herself. Even the Sheltered Ojou-sama hadn't noticed; a mere Natsuki certainly couldn't.
"The apartment I'm renting is actually a house belonging to a distant relative. If I suddenly move out, my relatives will be unhappy, and they might even tell my parents." Hayasaka Ai found another excuse, "I don't want my parents to worry, so, I'm sorry, Senpai."
After a pause, Hayasaka Ai extended a finger and lightly tapped her lips: "Seeing how considerate Senpai was today, I can fulfill one slightly excessive request for Senpai."
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Hayasaka and said:
"Can you help me with your hand?"
Hayasaka Ai: "…"
Hmph, men.
You immediately asked for something like that, you really are impolite!
"Sorry, no." Hayasaka Ai covered her chest, "If my clothes get dirty by Senpai, they'll definitely leave a smell. If someone finds out on the train back, I won't have the face to live on."
"…"
After pasting the Evil Spirit Banishing, Hayasaka Ai felt something was off today and decisively said goodbye and left.
At 10:30 PM, Miko, as usual, secretly snuck over to sleep.
The night passed without a word.
The next day.
School.
Game Club Activity Room.
As the group was ganging up on the little lamb Yurikawa, Fujiwara Chika rested her right hand on her rosy cheek and said:
"The Student Council elections are about to begin. Is everyone planning to participate?"
