"Let's begin."
The three of them didn't enter the cafe but walked to a dimly lit street corner.
Amamiya Natsuki naturally held the poor junior's right hand.
Shy?
Shy my ass!
He wasn't shy when he held the girl in his arms on the Ghost Ship, let alone now.
However, speaking of which, the poor junior's hand in front of him was unexpectedly small, with delicate and smooth skin, like some kind of mutton-fat jade, extremely comfortable to hold.
In contrast.
Hayasaka Ai, after her disguise, seemed a bit embarrassed, silently looking down at her toes.
"Hanamori-chan, don't be nervous."
Kitagawa Marin comforted her, "Five minutes will pass very quickly."
"I know."
Hayasaka Ai looked up, her face slightly red, and she gave an embarrassed smile, then looked down at her toes again.
The moment she lowered her head, the smile on the Maid's lips disappeared.
Nervous?
How could that be.
Hayasaka Ai's expression was calm, her heart completely unfazed.
It was just holding hands with a boy, nothing at all.
As a spy, if such a small matter could make her nervous, it would be a complete failure.
But... this man's hand was so warm, even a little hot, even though the temperature had clearly dropped quite a bit at night.
His palm was very large, as if it could completely envelop her hand...
Hayasaka Ai collected her thoughts, chatting with Kitagawa while thinking about the 'guests' in the villa.
The Balloon Heads in the refrigerator, the imp under the covers, and the Evil Spirit who brushed her hair by the bed every day... Don't run, I'm coming back.
Your doomsday is coming soon!
Five minutes passed in a flash.
"Alright."
Amamiya Natsuki released the Maid's right hand.
A cool breeze blew, and the warmth that had enveloped her palm receded.
Hayasaka Ai's heart suddenly felt a touch of loss, but it was only for a moment.
"I am deeply grateful."
Hayasaka Ai bowed in thanks, "I've troubled you."
"No need to thank me, we're comrades who've been through life and death together."
Kitagawa Marin put her right hand on her hip and repeated the Precautions, "This is just a temporary skill, it seems it can only be stored for twenty-four hours, and once the aura ability is activated, it cannot be turned off during that period.
Evil Spirit Banishing can only last for sixty minutes."
"That's enough..."
After a few more words, Hayasaka Ai waved goodbye and turned to walk towards the Train Station.
Truly high-level hunters are always very patient.
"Let's go."
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Kitagawa, "Let's buy takoyaki."
"Do we really have to buy it?" Kitagawa Marin pressed her lower abdomen, "Eating so late, I'll get fat, won't I?"
Amamiya Natsuki said, "Then I'll buy two portions and eat them with Chika when we get back."
"How mean, eating without me!" Kitagawa Marin quickly puffed out her cheeks, "I want some too!"
Amamiya Natsuki glanced over: "Aren't you afraid of getting fat?"
"I am afraid." Kitagawa Marin replied righteously, "Anyway, we'll all get fat together, so it doesn't matter."
"..."
At the same time.
Hayasaka Ai boarded the Train and returned to the villa alone.
It was already past ten o'clock at night, and apart from the night watch bodyguards, almost everyone else was resting.
The entire villa was quiet.
But in Hayasaka Ai's eyes, the villa under the night sky was quite 'lively'.
The Balloon Heads floating in mid-air, the centipede woman crawling on the wall, the Nameless woman crying in the corner—it was simply a chaotic dance of demons, even scarier than a Haunted House at an amusement park.
Hayasaka Ai took a light breath and walked into the villa expressionlessly.
First, she grabbed her pajamas, found a bathroom free of Evil Spirits to take a shower, then went to the refrigerator, opened it, and a Balloon Heads Evil Spirit stared straight at her.
Their eyes met.
Empty, cold whispers entered her ears.
"You... can you see me?"
So you don't even have a throat, how can a lonely Balloon Heads like you make a sound?!
Hayasaka Ai looked at her character panel and decisively activated 'Evil Spirit Banishing'.
An invisible aura spread out from her, and the Balloon Heads Evil Spirit in the refrigerator quickly burned with transparent flames, beginning to turn into ashes and disappear.
"Only sixty minutes..." Hayasaka Ai exhaled softly, then clenched her fists and turned to leave, "I'm coming for you."
The centipede Evil Spirit on the wall, the long-haired Evil Spirit brushing hair by the bed, the imp Evil Spirit hiding under the covers—this Spy Maid held a grudge.
Every Evil Spirit that had scared her these past few days, every single one, would be turned to dust.
Ten-odd minutes later, the entire villa was refreshed.
"Whew..."
Hayasaka Ai exhaled softly, feeling a strong wave of sleepiness.
She simply face-planted onto the bed.
"No, I can't sleep yet, there's one last thing to do."
The Maid lay on her pillow, picked up her phone, and sent messages to Amamiya Natsuki and Kitagawa separately.
"The skill is very useful, I can finally sleep tonight, I'm so grateful."
Soon after, Amamiya Natsuki sent a message: "You're welcome, I'm glad I could help."
Hayasaka Ai: "Good night."
Amamiya Natsuki: "Good night."
First, start by saying goodnight to each other, gradually closing the distance, and then finally making this man her own.
I'm sorry, Young Lady, I will keep it a secret from you.
The night passed without a word.
The next day.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Shinomiya Kaguya and Maid Hayasaka came again.
"Did that Evil Spirit appear last night?" Shinomiya Kaguya asked.
Mrs. Shimizu shook her head: "Mom stayed up all night, but it didn't appear."
"Maybe it has already given up on me." Kitagawa Marin rested her right hand on her chin, pondering, "Golden Week is about to end. If it doesn't appear today, I'll just ignore it."
Golden Week started on April 27th, and a week had passed in the blink of an eye, with only one day left.
After tomorrow, the day after will be Monday, the first day of school.
"After school starts, Natsuki will copy Evil Spirit Banishing for me every day after school." Kitagawa Marin had already thought it through, "Even if the Evil Spirit really appears, I can temporarily protect myself."
Amamiya Natsuki sighed: "That sounds tough."
"Marin-chan, I'm sorry, I have to go home today." Fujiwara Chika was fiddling with the ultra-black bow on her forehead. "If Mom and Dad and Moeha get home tonight and find I'm not there, I'll definitely be grounded."
"Thank you for your hard work these past few days, Chika-chan."
"Where was the hard work?" Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but retort, "Playing games, eating snacks, walking the dog when there's nothing to do, going out shopping in the afternoon—I really don't see where the hard work was."
"Natsuki-kun~" Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands in front of her chest, tilted her head, and smiled as she looked over, "You seem to have a strong prejudice against me."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me."
Amamiya Natsuki decisively lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"Hmph."
"So, today's schedule is the same as yesterday."
Shinomiya Kaguya lightly pursed her pink lips.
Very good.
The chaotic illegal cohabitation was finally coming to an end!
The day passed quickly.
The Death Evil Spirit still didn't appear, and in a blink of an eye, it was evening.
Several girls were about to say goodbye and leave when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Amamiya Natsuki walked over to open the door, and the person outside was Miko.
"Natsuki." The black-haired, long-haired childhood friend bit her lower lip, her expression clearly anxious, "Can you come with me to see my mom?"
Amamiya Natsuki said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, first tell me the specific situation."
"Mm." Miko took a deep breath and said, biting her lip, "Just now, my mom's colleague called me and said my mom got injured at work, and now my mom's phone can't be reached..."
"Auntie still works at the shopping mall, right?" Amamiya Natsuki said decisively, "Let's go immediately."
Shinomiya Kaguya spoke:
"I'll have the driver take you."
"Thank you, Kaguya-san." Miko looked over gratefully.
"I'll go too." Kitagawa Marin raised her hand, "See if there's anything I can help with."
In the end, several girls all decided to go.
The journey was silent.
Amamiya Natsuki and several girls took a car together and arrived at the entrance of the shopping mall where Miko's mother worked.
As soon as they entered the shopping mall, a game notification sounded in his ear:
