The class bell rang on time.
Under the command of the physical education teacher, the boys and girls lined up and jumped into the swimming pool like dumplings.
Splash.
Water splashed everywhere.
Sounds of joy were endless.
Everyone welcomed the swimming class that enjoyed the coolness of summer, except for a certain Sheltered Ojou-sama who was still emitting resentment.
The first half of the class was arranged by the teacher, and the second half of the class was free time.
Amamiya Natsuki was swimming when he suddenly felt his little finger tremble.
"Hmm?"
Amamiya Natsuki surfaced and looked for Cancer of Earth.
Soon he saw secretary's figure in the corner.
The girl was wearing a swimming cap, revealing her smooth and full forehead. Her favorite jet-black butterfly knot was finally taken off. Her skin was delicate and white, crystal clear like jade. Even if she was with several girls, she was still the whitest one. Although she was wearing a slim-fitting school swimsuit, it still couldn't hide her graceful figure.
Taking Kaguya-san as a breast size unit, she can at least beat five Kaguya-sans.
"I didn't ask you to look at me, it's in the water!"
Fujiwara Chika kept moving her little finger and signaled with her eyes towards the swimming pool.
The boys' and girls' lanes were separated, and Amamiya Natsuki didn't pay attention to the situation on the girls' side. Now when he looked towards the girls' side, he was speechless.
In the clear and transparent swimming pool, a huge, pale evil spirit was floating, as if it was an evil spirit transformed from someone who accidentally drowned… no, it should be an evil spirit drowned by a pervert.
The hands and feet of this evil spirit had disappeared, replaced by many terrible octopus-like tentacles. On the face where the appearance could still be vaguely seen was a signature lewd smile. The tentacles were waving and wrapped around the bodies of the melon-eating girls… a standard tentacle monster!
The only difference from the doujinshi is probably that those melon-eating female classmates don't know that they are being violated by a tentacle-type evil spirit.
What you can't see is the same as not existing. Ordinary people naturally don't care, but Fujiwara Chika, as a player, can naturally see clearly.
Disgusting!
Super disgusting!
The degree of scariness is average, but the degree of disgustingness is five stars!
"Natsuki-kun, come here quickly and send it to Buddha!"
Fujiwara Chika covered her chest with her hands and kept blinking her eyes as a signal.
Absolutely not to have her body wrapped by such a disgusting evil spirit!
"Coming."
Seeing this swimming pool evil spirit extending its tentacles towards Fujiwara Chika, Amamiya Natsuki frowned and decisively accelerated to swim over, while activating Evil Spirit Banishing.
Ah — —
A void scream that ordinary people couldn't hear rang out.
Transparent flames swept over and quickly burned the tentacle evil spirit in the water to ashes.
"Huff…"
Fujiwara Chika finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I was almost dirtied."
"Theoretically speaking, the evil spirit didn't actually come into contact with us." Amamiya Natsuki whispered.
"That's psychological!" Fujiwara Chika closed her eyes and shouted, "Being psychologically dirtied is even worse than being physically dirtied!"
There are many people in the swimming pool.
Amamiya Natsuki simply said a few words and returned to the boys' swimming area.
"Chika-chan, what were you talking about just now?"
Kashiwagi quickly swam to Chika's side and asked, pretending to be nonchalant.
She previously thought that Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya-san were dating secretly, and at the same time, he was still unclear with Chika-chan, playing two boats — —
After school, holding hands with a girl to go to the supermarket and buy snacks, how could it not be the behavior between lovers?
But after observing for this period of time, Kashiwagi slowly discovered that the relationship between the three people didn't seem to be what she thought, but it definitely exceeded the boundary of ordinary friends.
So she was very curious.
Very curious.
What exactly is the relationship between the three people?
Is Natsuki-kun playing with the feelings of two girls?
She must find out the truth to prevent her good bestie from being deceived!
Kaguya-san is so smart, there's no need to worry, but Chika-chan… is subtle in every sense.
"I seemed to hear topics like dirtying just now?"
Kashiwagi began to ask indirectly.
Fujiwara Chika turned her head, her eyes were full of tears, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand: "I almost dirtied the swimming pool just now."
"Eh?"
Kashiwagi was stunned, her head tilted into a cute arc, and her little face was full of confusion.
Dirty the swimming pool?
What does it mean?
What could have dirtied the pool?
Fujiwara Chika muttered,
"I encountered a terrifying situation just now. An invisible monster attacked, and I almost raised my hand to ask the teacher for leave and escape the pool…"
A terrifying situation.
An invisible monster.
Kashiwagi blinked, her gaze slowly moving down to Fujiwara Chika's legs. The secretary's legs were tightly pressed together, her hands resting on her lower abdomen, as if she was trying hard to endure something.
(No, no way?)
Kashiwagi slowly widened her eyes.
(Could it be… Impossible! Chika-chan would never agree to such a shameful play!)
(Besides, this is a pool; electronic products would break immediately!)
(Then again, maybe not. Technology is so advanced now; there might already be waterproof tools…)
"Oh, never mind. Anyway, the crisis is over." Fujiwara Chika wiped the corner of her eye. "Let's continue swimming."
Kashiwagi's expression was complex: "Um… if you're really uncomfortable, Chika-chan, you can go to the restroom first."
"No need." Fujiwara Chika lifted her chin. "It's over. I'm comfortable now, and I don't feel anything at all!"
…
The rest of the class was peaceful, with no accidents. Sakura Island Country has had swimming lessons since the first grade of elementary school. Now that it's high school, there are very few people who can't swim, unless they're those clumsy people who are naturally terrible at balance, uncoordinated, and can't even ride a bicycle.
In a flash, it was time for school to end.
The bell rang.
Amamiya Natsuki exited the swimming pool, preparing to go to the changing room to change clothes. As he passed a corner, he suddenly heard a nervous shout.
"Natsuki-kun, please wait a moment."
"Hmm?"
Hearing someone call his name, Amamiya Natsuki was slightly startled.
Most of the nearby onlookers had already dispersed, and there was no one around except a Senpai.
"Natsuki-kun, I'm calling you."
The Senpai, dressed in a school swimsuit, with a beautiful figure and pretty face, covered her chest with her right hand, creating a round and full indentation on the swimsuit. Her pretty face was slightly red as she called softly.
Amamiya Natsuki said in surprise,
"Tsubame Koyasu… Senpai?"
As the campus goddess of the school, Amamiya Natsuki naturally knew her. After all, every time he had physical education class, he could hear the boys around him discussing her. He didn't expect her to actually know him.
"It's me."
Tsubame Koyasu breathed a sigh of relief, slightly tilted her pretty face, and said softly, "Um, I have something to tell you. It's not very convenient here… Could you please wait for me behind the old school building?"
If you have something to say, just say it to my face! What's with this confession-like atmosphere?!
This was the first time the two of them had spoken. A confession was definitely impossible, but this way of speaking was too easily misunderstood!
Amamiya Natsuki twitched his mouth. Seeing that the onlookers who hadn't left were looking at him curiously, he could only nod and say,
"I understand."
"Phew…"
Tsubame Koyasu breathed a sigh of relief, a bright smile appearing on her face. She waved and left: "Then, see you there."
At the same time.
Shinomiya Kaguya, leaning quietly behind the corner, widened her eyes and clenched her fists.
What couldn't be said in person that she had to go behind the school building?
Could it be a confession?
Those few words were too intriguing!
No!
I must find out!
After Amamiya Natsuki left, Shinomiya Kaguya called out in a low voice: "…Hayasaka!"
"Yes, Milady."
The Spy Maid appeared silently like a ghost.
"You heard the conversation just now, didn't you?" The Sheltered Ojou-sama clenched her fists and couldn't help but exclaim, "What's wrong with that Senpai? Why did she suddenly stop a boy and say such things? How shameless!"
"My lady, please rest assured." Hayasaka Ai said with narrowed eyes, "According to my previous investigation into Natsuki-kun's social connections, he and Tsubame-senpai have no interaction whatsoever. Today should be the first time they've spoken."
Shinomiya Kaguya stomped her right foot: "The first time they speak, she calls a boy to the back of the school building to confess? How shameless! Is she a woman who only knows how to indulge in [BEEP] desires?!"
"Tsubame-senpai is very popular, beautiful, has a good figure, and a gentle personality. The possibility of her suddenly confessing to a boy is very low." Hayasaka Ai sighed, pressing her fingers lightly against her brow. "Natsuki-kun doesn't have that much charm…"
Wait a minute.
You never know.
What if Tsubame-senpai is someone else's girlfriend/fiancée/childhood friend?
With multiple identities at play, it's possible that her thinking might really be influenced by the NTR halo…
"The location is the old school building." Hayasaka Ai bit her lollipop with a crunch. "The truth will be revealed by simply eavesdropping."
"What if it really is a confession?" The Sheltered Ojou-sama was full of apprehension. "That possibility can't be ruled out, can it? Natsuki-kun wouldn't agree, would he?"
"No, it's very possible." Hayasaka Ai put her right hand on her hip. "That's the campus goddess, Tsubame-senpai. She's beautiful, has a good figure, and is gentle and cute…"
"No, no need to repeat it!"
Shinomiya Kaguya's height seemed to shrink.
Aside from their looks being comparable, she was completely crushed in terms of personality and figure!
Hayasaka Ai added casually: "Well, anyway, let alone a boy, even if Tsubame-senpai confessed to me, I would be tempted."
"Natsuki-kun isn't that shallow… is he?"
Shinomiya Kaguya's confidence waned as she spoke.
During swimming class just now, he was staring at that Senpai along with other lustful boys. He's clearly a shallow male animal!
Ten minutes later.
Amamiya Natsuki changed his clothes and arrived behind the old school building.
The area was cool and breezy, with lush trees, and the environment was quite pleasant. Because of its secluded location, few people came, so even if a confession failed, it wouldn't be too awkward. It was indeed a standard confession sanctuary.
"My lady, target is in position."
Hayasaka Ai squatted behind a bush, wearing Bluetooth earphones.
Shinomiya Kaguya: "Keep listening. Don't miss a single word."
…
A moment later.
"Natsuki-kun, thank you for waiting."
Tsubame Koyasu, who had changed into her school uniform, waved her right hand and jogged over. The slimes on her chest bounced up and down, lively and cute.
"I just got here too." Amamiya Natsuki put away his phone and said straightforwardly, "Tsubame-senpai called me over. Is there something you need?"
"Um…"
The Senpai pressed her hand to her chest, her expression a mix of nervousness and anticipation: "It's a very, very important matter."
Amamiya Natsuki waited for her to continue, while looking at the top of the Senpai's head.
Above the girl's head, a nervous emoji floated out. He could only see her mood, but he didn't know exactly what she was thinking.
Tsubame-senpai took a half step forward and cautiously said,
"Natsuki-kun, are you an Onmyoji?"
"No."
Amamiya Natsuki shook his head in denial.
"Eh, how could that be? Just now during swimming class…"
Tsubame-senpai immediately wilted.
Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly and said,
"Were there tentacles in the pool?"
"Eh?!"
The Senpai's eyes instantly brightened, radiating a magnificent glow. She suddenly took two steps forward, leaning her body closer to Amamiya Natsuki, and asked expectantly,
"Natsuki-kun, you really can see that monster, right? That tentacle monster suddenly burst into flames. Is that also related to Natsuki-kun?"
The two were too close. Amamiya Natsuki could even clearly smell the girl's warm, sweet breath. He took a half-step back and reminded her,
"Senpai, you're too close."
"Ah, sorry!" Tsubame Koyasu's pretty face flushed, and she quickly pulled away. "I was too excited just now and didn't notice… So, Natsuki-kun is also a game player?"
Amamiya Natsuki nodded in acknowledgment: "That's right."
Sure enough, a confession was impossible.
It was just that when he was exorcising evil spirits, he happened to be seen by Tsubame-senpai, who was also a game player.
The super popular beautiful girl at school suddenly confessing to a junior she had never spoken to—that kind of thing only happens in light novels!
"I'm also a game player." Tsubame-senpai's eyes sparkled as if she had found her organization. "Natsuki-kun, what exactly are those monsters? Why can you eliminate them? Is there any way to stop seeing them?"
"Allow me to ask first." Amamiya Natsuki made a 'stop' gesture. "Tsubame-senpai, how many times have you cleared the game?"
Tsubame Koyasu held up two fingers: "Two games. Each time was super dangerous. That evening, I was training alone in the gymnastics club, and for some reason, I was suddenly chosen by the game."
"Tsk, as expected, she's a complete newbie."
Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone and looked at Tsubame Koyasu, "Tsubame-senpai, do you have your phone with you?"
"I have it."
Tsubame Koyasu quickly nodded and took out her phone from her backpack.
"Come on, scan this code." Amamiya Natsuki handed over his phone. "Don't worry, there are no inappropriate pictures, and it's not a phishing link. You don't have to worry about being banned."
…
Scan successful.
With a soft hum, Tsubame-senpai successfully joined the organization.
"Eh, so many people!" Tsubame Koyasu widened her eyes and hugged her phone, saying, "Natsuki-kun, is everyone inside… ?"
"That's right, they're all game players." Amamiya Natsuki nodded. "You can check out the situation inside first, and ask if you have any questions."
"Um, it feels a bit strange to ask strangers…" Tsubame-senpai mustered her courage. "Natsuki-kun, can we exchange contact information?"
"Yes."
Amamiya Natsuki agreed.
It was just contact information. He had already exchanged it with many game players, so one more Senpai wouldn't make a difference.
…I am deeply grateful!
After getting the contact information, the Senpai's pretty face flushed, and she bowed excitedly, "I still have gymnastics club training, so I'm leaving now… I'll bother Natsuki-kun tonight!"
Watching Tsubame-senpai run off, Amamiya Natsuki did not leave but turned his head to look at the bushes not far away.
"Hmm?"
Noticing Amamiya Natsuki's gaze, Hayasaka Ai's eyebrows raised slightly.
Did he discover her?
Impossible.
My stealth skills are maxed out…
Just as Hayasaka Ai finished thinking this, she saw Amamiya Natsuki walking towards the bushes.
"Tch, I really got found out."
Hayasaka Ai's mind raced, and before Amamiya Natsuki reached the bushes, she opened her arms and suddenly stood up.
"Yo-hoo~ Good afternoon."
Amamiya Natsuki stopped and looked at the side ponytail girl behind the bushes, raising his eyebrows slightly and saying:
"Hayasaka-san, what are you doing hiding behind the bushes?"
He hadn't actually discovered Hayasaka Ai's stealth, after all, she was a professional Spy Maid. It was just that when his gaze swept over the bushes, a prompt suddenly appeared in front of him indicating that someone was secretly spying, so he came over to investigate.
"Of course, I'm creating an opportunity for Natsuki-kun."
The Spicy Girl brushed off the fallen leaves on her clothes, bit a lollipop, and said nonchalantly, "To be invited out on a date by the famous Tsubame-senpai, if I were to disturb you, Natsuki-kun would definitely lock himself in his room and cry his eyes out until dawn, right?"
Amamiya Natsuki shook his head and said:
"It's not a confession."
"It was clearly a confession atmosphere just now."
Hayasaka Ai brushed her side ponytail with her hand, waving as she walked away, "Well, it doesn't matter to me anyway, goodbye~",
The wind blew.
As the leaves fluttered, they also lifted the girl's skirt.
The side ponytail girl clenched her fists, subconsciously covering the skirt that was blown by the wind, her movements, expression, and the momentary expression that was revealed, an extremely familiar sense of déjà vu surged into his heart.
At this moment.
A prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[All clues have been collected]
[You have successfully come into contact with the Spy Maid's triple identity]
[Close-fitting maid Hasaka-chan, energetic junior Hanamori-chan, campus Spicy Girl Hayasaka Ai… Underneath the layers of masks, which one is the real her?]
"Hasaka?"
Amamiya Natsuki narrowed his eyes.
During Golden Week, when Shinomiya came over to play, she brought a close-fitting maid, Hasaka-chan.
As for that super aggressive junior Hanamori, the reason why Amamiya Natsuki remained vigilant and kept rejecting her was because the prompt 'Identity Unknown' would appear above Hanamori's head from time to time.
At this moment, the prompt was finally no longer a riddle.
Although the three people's appearances, personalities, identities, and even voices were different, they were clearly the same person.
Why did Hayasaka want to hide her identity?
I don't know.
But it doesn't stop him from deciding to fight back.
Anyone would be unhappy after being deceived for so long.
"Wait a minute."
Amamiya Natsuki called out to the Spicy Girl.
"Hmm?"
Hayasaka Ai tilted her head and looked back, her azure blue eyes reflecting the sky and white clouds above her head.
"If what happened just now were to be known by others, it would definitely be troublesome, so…"
Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said, "Hayasaka-san, please give me a reason to let you leave."
Hayasaka Ai: "…"
