"Natsuki-kun, did you receive a game notification?"

Kitagawa Marin paused her steps, then scurried over to Amamiya Natsuki's side, quietly whispering in his ear.

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"Zoo Horror Story?"

"That's right, that's it." Kitagawa Marin sighed in relief, "I thought I was the only one who received the game notification… A large-scale quest sounds super dangerous, but it's fine with Natsuki-kun."

One must be strong oneself; do not place hope on others. Becoming strong oneself is the right path!

"Oh, right, after Natsuki-kun received the game notification, will Chika-chan receive a notification?"

Kitagawa Marin asked expectantly.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"We'll know in a minute."

"…"

A minute passed in the blink of an eye.

"No message received." Amamiya Natsuki glanced at his phone, "Apparently, she didn't receive a game notification."

Clearly, Zoo Horror Story, like the previous 'Midnight Subway,' was a trigger-type quest; only by entering the relevant scene would one gain game eligibility.

Of course, it's best not to encounter such sudden game scenarios.

The unknown inevitably represents danger.

In comparison, there was one thing that concerned Amamiya Natsuki even more.

"Miko." Amamiya Natsuki took two steps forward, coming to his childhood friend Miko's side, and whispered, "Come here for a moment."

"Eh?"

Miko tilted her head and looked over, her expression puzzled, and walked to a corner with Amamiya Natsuki.

Amamiya Natsuki went straight to the point:

"Why did you feel the Zoo was off just now?"

"Natsuki-kun and I just received a game notification saying we encountered a large-scale dungeon 'kaitai Zoo'." Kitagawa Marin explained from the side.

"I… I can't quite say." Miko pursed her lips, frowning slightly at the words, and whispered, "When I first entered the Zoo, I felt a bit uncomfortable, like being alone in a room, that feeling of your hair inexplicably standing on end."

Kitagawa Marin blinked: "Speaking of which, Miko is just an ordinary person, right? She's not a player, so why can she see Evil Spirits?"

"I also want to know why." Miko bit her lower lip, her tone resentful, her gaze sweeping past an Evil Spirit not far away, "I absolutely don't want to see those things!"

"Using simple logical syllogism for deduction." Amamiya Natsuki mused, "Ordinary people cannot see Evil Spirits, Miko can see Evil Spirits, from this we can deduce the conclusion…"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Miko: "Clearly, Miko is not an ordinary person."

"I'm sorry." Miko retorted with narrowed eyes, "I don't feel any different from an ordinary person at all."

Kitagawa Marin raised her hand: "Miko-chan can see Evil Spirits, ordinary people can't."

Yotsuya Miko: "…"

"Miko, what are you talking about?" Yurikawa Hana called out loudly, "Let's go see the giraffes."

Miko turned her head and looked: "Coming."

Amamiya Natsuki said calmly:

"Let's go, continue touring the Zoo."

The scene hasn't officially begun yet, so being anxious now is meaningless.

Kitagawa Marin was the same; this Blonde Hot Girl had a carefree personality, completely lacking any melancholic traits, and quickly put what had just happened out of her mind.

In Kitagawa Marin's words:

"You never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first, so since that's the case, of course, you should enjoy the present life."

The Zoo stroll continued.

"Why are those two giraffes bumping their necks together?"

The elementary school student brother asked.

"I know, I know." Yurikawa Hana was leaning on the fence, the only one carefree and enjoying the happiness of Golden Week, "…They are helping each other scratch an itch, just like the monkeys we saw earlier, they often help their companions pick lice off their bodies."

"I don't think that's it, is it?"

Miko turned her head and looked at Amamiya Natsuki.

"If a giraffe wants to scratch an itch, it will directly rub against a tree," Amamiya Natsuki said. "A giraffe's neck is its weapon; swinging it around is actually fighting."

"There's even a saying like that," Kitagawa Marin raised her phone, switched to selfie mode, "I'm going to take a picture and upload it to Line."

At the same time.

Shinomiya Villa.

Shinomiya Kaguya, who had just finished her tea ceremony lesson, was resting, picking up her phone with her slender hands, unlocking the screen, and looking at the empty chat application, her cheeks slightly puffed out.

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing!

Besides the messages from her mother, she hadn't received a single message from Amamiya Natsuki!

They had already exchanged contact information, but he hadn't sent her even five messages; he should at least send one a day!

Hayasaka Ai stood beside her, arms crossed, sighing:

"Why don't you proactively message Natsuki-kun?"

"No, I refuse," Shinomiya Kaguya rejected outright, sitting upright. "I was just checking the time... Besides, he might not even be awake yet."

Hayasaka Ai retorted:

"It's almost ten o'clock; no one would be that lazy not to get up."

"That's not necessarily true," Shinomiya Kaguya countered. "I heard that for many people, their day off starts at twelve noon."

"Yes, yes."

Hayasaka Ai covered her forehead, sighing helplessly.

If it were anyone else sleeping in, Shinomiya Kaguya wouldn't even spare them a glance, but now she was actively helping him find excuses... The Young Lady was beyond saving.

However, compared to Kaguya-hime, who barely spoke a few words all day, the Young Lady currently testing the waters on the edge of love was clearly more adorable.

"There's another way," Hayasaka Ai said, biting her lollipop, "You can make Natsuki-kun proactively ask you out to play."

"What way?"

Shinomiya Kaguya slightly perked up her ears.

"The Young Lady can post an update saying, 'The weather is good, suitable for going out,'" Hayasaka Ai suggested. "If Natsuki-kun sees it, he'll definitely know what to do."

"Today's weather is indeed very nice."

Shinomiya Kaguya glanced at the sunlight outside the window, then nonchalantly clicked on her feed. A picture of a giraffe came into view.

She used to use a feature phone, and now that she had switched to a smartphone, her contacts were still pitifully few—

Amamiya Natsuki, Fujiwara Chika, Hayasaka Ai, Mrs. Shimizu, and Kitagawa Marin.

Below the giraffe, there was a selfie of a girl, the Blonde Hot Girl's smile was exceptionally bright and radiant.

Shinomiya Kaguya's finger slid across the screen, her gaze quickly fixed.

It was a photo of the Zoo entrance.

In the photo, Amamiya Natsuki stood in the middle, flanked by Kitagawa Marin, Miko, and Yurikawa Hana.

Too much!

Absolutely too much!

She thought he was sleeping at home, but he actually ran off to date other girls!

Shinomiya Kaguya expressionlessly put down her phone: "Hayasaka, let's go to the Zoo to see the pandas."

Hayasaka Ai's gaze swept across the phone screen, then she turned and walked out: "I'll go tell the driver to prepare the car."

Crunch.

The lollipop was directly bitten through.

The day before yesterday, the Young Lady suddenly vanished from the villa without a trace, and she couldn't be found no matter what. As a personal maid, it was an unforgivable dereliction of duty!

Amamiya Natsuki.

It was necessary to strip this boy naked and investigate him thoroughly, inside and out.
