Picking up the shrimp, Amamiya Natsuki stood up as if nothing had happened and continued to help wash the ingredients.

Only when all the preliminary preparation work was completed did Hayasaka Ai speak again, her voice calm:

"Please leave the rest to me; Natsuki-kun can go out now."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and pointed with his hand:

"The apron is in the cabinet; get it yourself."

His cooking skills were average, only at a normal person's level, certainly not as good as a professional maid. Washing and cutting vegetables were barely acceptable, but cooking had to be left to the professional maid.

"Mm."

Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly, reached out to open the wardrobe, and prepared to get the apron.

The next moment.

The maid's right hand suddenly froze in mid-air.

Inside the wardrobe, an evil spirit resembling a spider was coiled, its back covered with dense, crimson compound eyes, and as Hayasaka Ai opened the wardrobe, a dozen pairs of compound eyes stared over in unison.

"You... can see me?"

A hoarse, hollow voice entered her ears.

Hayasaka Ai: "..."Damn it, damn it, damn it!

It was an open-door kill again, and I almost let it out!

Why is there still an Evil Spirit in the cabinet?

Didn't I just use Evil Spirit Banishing to clear it out, or is it an Evil Spirit that wandered in from outside?

"You... can see me?"

The Spider Evil Spirit's eyes flickered red, trying to crawl out of the cabinet.

Hayasaka Ai silently bit the tip of her tongue, using immense willpower to control her facial muscles, muttering 'can't see, can't see, can't see' in her heart, and expressionlessly reached into the cabinet to take out an apron, finally closing the cabinet door.

Bang.

The cabinet door closed.

After confirming that the Spider Evil Spirit didn't chase her out, the Maid's eyes welled up with a mist of water, and she gritted her teeth, quickly turning on the faucet and beginning to scrub her hands.

Half an hour later.

Hayasaka Ai walked out of the kitchen, her gaze falling on Amamiya Natsuki's face, and calmly said:

"Everyone can wash their hands and eat."

"Hm?"

Amamiya Natsuki was slightly startled.

For some reason, he felt that the Maid's gaze was particularly resentful, as if he had abandoned her alone after a Ghost House adventure, like a heartless man.

After lunch.

The coin toss cooldown had just ended, and now it was Kitagawa Marin's turn to toss the coin.

This Blonde Hot Girl mimicked the others, blowing on the coin with a devout expression, then tossing it into the air.

The result was obvious.

Tails up.

The unlucky girl plagued by bad luck was once again produced.

"Eh, what a shame."

"Bad luck has already arrived, Marin-chan, don't move around."

The few of them had already figured out a simple pattern: being plagued by bad luck only meant bad luck, not being ostracized by the whole world, so the best way was to sit still and respond to all changes with no change.

Shinomiya Kaguya took a small sip of her afternoon black tea, her posture elegant and dignified: "Once the bad luck ends, we'll go out and test the effectiveness of the bait plan."

Amamiya Natsuki hadn't played any games for the entire morning. Taking advantage of his free time now, he turned on the console, preparing to play a game for a while, and said:

"You guys do your best."

According to Shinomiya Kaguya's speculation, the Death God Evil Spirit had been hiding because of Amamiya Natsuki. After all, that Evil Spirit had shown a certain level of intelligence and knew how to avoid danger.

So Amamiya Natsuki stayed home in the afternoon, and only the girls went out shopping—

Before that, Amamiya Natsuki had already used Copy and Paste to transfer abilities. Shinomiya Kaguya and Fujiwara Chika would use the 'Seize and Eliminate Evil' combination skill together, and Kitagawa Marin's pasted ability was Evil Spirit Banishing.

As long as the Death God Evil Spirit appeared, the three girls working together could basically solve the trouble.

Opening the game platform, Amamiya Natsuki was about to play some Elden Ring when he suddenly felt a gaze on him.

"Stare—"

Amamiya Natsuki turned his head to look at the Dumbfounded Miss who was staring at him.

"Can Street Fighter also be played on the TV?" Shinomiya Kaguya said casually, as if nothing was amiss.

Amamiya Natsuki understood her subtle hint and handed over a game controller: "Want to play a couple of rounds?"

"Since Natsuki-kun said so..." Shinomiya Kaguya took the controller, knelt down beside Amamiya Natsuki, turned her face to look at him, and said, "Then I'll play for a bit."

Their eyes met.

They instantly understood each other's intentions.

"It's time for a rematch!"

"..."

The first round was quickly decided.

Amamiya Natsuki was directly defeated.

"Hm?" Amamiya Natsuki turned his head in surprise, "You've gotten stronger?"

Shinomiya Kaguya's rosy lips curved slightly upwards, and she said nonchalantly:

"After three days of separation, one should indeed be seen with new eyes."

Shinomiya Kaguya had never forgotten the humiliation of being defeated ten consecutive times at the arcade during the 'Hundred Man Slayer' fun quest.

I, Shinomiya Kaguya, hold a grudge.

Where I lost, I must win back there. I've been secretly practicing hard during this time.

"Not bad." Amamiya Natsuki withdrew his gaze, "In that case, I'm going to get serious."

Shinomiya Kaguya raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear: "I've pretty much warmed up too."

"..."

Their eyes met.

Their gazes crossed in the air, and both of them gave their full attention, going all out.

And then... Shinomiya Kaguya once again experienced her tenth consecutive defeat in her life.

"L-lost..."

Shinomiya Kaguya propped herself up with her hands on the floor, extremely unwilling.

All these years since childhood, except for her bust size, which she truly couldn't help, she had been a genius girl in all other aspects, never having lost to anyone, let alone losing so miserably.

I'll remember this grudge!

"That's enough." Amamiya Natsuki put down the controller, let out a soft breath, and smiled, "You guys can almost head out."

"..."

Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lower lip tightly and put down the game controller.

The loser needs no lines.

"Natsuki-kun, we're going out shopping." Kitagawa Marin waved goodbye, "You stay home and behave, I'll bring you a gift when I get back."

"Let's go."

"..."

The three girls, along with Maid Hayasaka, left together to go shopping.

Amamiya Natsuki didn't go with them and continued playing his game alone at home.

Three hours later, in the blink of an eye.

The four girls returned safely.

"Natsuki-kun, we're back." Kitagawa Marin opened the door and entered the house.

Amamiya Natsuki looked up and saw the girls returning with large and small shopping bags: "How was it?"

"That Evil Spirit never appeared." Kitagawa Marin whispered, covering her mouth with her right hand, "We saw it was getting dark, so we came back."

Fujiwara Chika patted the extremely dark bow on her forehead: "The weather is gloomy, it feels like it's going to rain. Good thing we came back in time."

Amamiya Natsuki looked out the window upon hearing this, only to see the sky was indeed overcast and looked like it was about to rain.

"Miss, it's almost time to go back."

Hayasaka Ai reminded her in a low voice.

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded slightly: "I know."

Fujiwara and Kitagawa could stay overnight, but she couldn't.

It was one thing to go out and play, but staying out all night would be very troublesome.

However, before going back, there was one more thing to do...

"Natsuki-kun." Shinomiya Kaguya looked up at him, and said in a low voice, "Help me change my ability."

Being alone at home at night, the Evil Spirit Banishing skill was naturally the most suitable.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "Give me your hand."

"No..." Shinomiya Kaguya secretly hid her hand behind her back, "Let's go to your room."

Holding hands in front of everyone, no matter how she thought about it, was too embarrassing!
