"'A Loyal Dog Boyfriend's Handbook'… There's actually a book like this?!"

Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes widened.

It was her first time encountering the term 'loyal dog boyfriend,' but that didn't prevent her from understanding its meaning—to raise a boyfriend into a loyal dog. So, is it a boyfriend, or a pet?

"Where there's demand, there's a market." The blonde girl pulled the lollipop from her mouth with a soft 'pop' sound. While idly twirling a strand of hair with her slender, pale fingers, she extended her delicate pink tongue and gently licked the lollipop, her voice calm. "I also saw 'One Hundred Days to Make a Rich Woman from Tokyo Fall in Love with Me' and 'A Step-by-Step Guide to Conquering Your Madame' at the bookstore…"

"Wait, aren't some strange book titles mixed in there?"

Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but exclaim.

Tokyo rich women aside, conquering your Madame is just too much, no matter how you think about it!

"Don't worry about the details." The blonde girl tilted her head and looked over. "Young Miss is, after all, a complete novice in love with no experience, so it's very necessary to learn the training methods in the book, otherwise you can only watch the boy you like be snatched away."

"You're overthinking it." Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face flushed slightly, and she retorted loudly, "I don't like him at all."

"Volume has nothing to do with persuasiveness." The blonde girl leaned against the door. "Young Miss has been unable to eat or sleep for that boy these past few days; she even has dark circles under her eyes."

"That's because…"

Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lower lip.

When she encountered the strange incident the day before yesterday, she immediately told Hayasaka, but Hayasaka didn't believe her at all. Without evidence to prove her situation, anything she said was useless.

"Never mind, let's go home." Shinomiya Kaguya's tone calmed down.

"Are you still going to read this book, Young Miss?" The blonde girl said airily, "If not, I'll throw it away."

Shinomiya Kaguya paused slightly, then silently took the book and put it into her backpack, her expression cool and composed:

"Don't litter."

A loyal dog boyfriend is irrelevant; there must be ways to use others in it. Perhaps she could learn and draw inspiration.

That's right.

Reading this book is simply to better Exploit that man!

"…"

On the way home.

Amamiya Natsuki unexpectedly met Miko and Yurikawa Hana.

"Amamiya-kun, good afternoon." The blonde girl happily waved, her smile bright, a stark contrast to Miko's exhausted expression beside her. "Shall we continue studying together today?"

"Hmph…"

Miko raised a hand to cover her mouth and yawned, the dark circles under her eyes seeming to deepen.

Amamiya Natsuki walked over to the two girls and looked at Miko: "Didn't you sleep well again last night?"

"No."

Yotsuya Miko bit her lower lip, looking wronged.

The vengeful spirits could pass through walls, so closing the door was completely useless; they were even more annoying than flies and mosquitoes.

Last night, after Amamiya Natsuki left, Yotsuya Miko had planned to get a good night's sleep. However, a malevolent spirit with a face covered in eyes walked through the door and then, in front of Yotsuya Miko, crawled under her bed as if no one else was there.

She dared not look.

She absolutely dared not look.

Yotsuya Miko didn't know how long she lay there before finally falling asleep, so it was no surprise that her dark circles had deepened.

They chatted along the way and soon arrived at the front door of the house.

"Shall we study at Natsuki-kun's house today?" Yurikawa Hana raised her right hand, her voice clear.

Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at her and said slowly, "It would be very dangerous to go to a strange boy's house."

"It's okay, Natsuki-kun and I are already friends." Yurikawa Hana smiled brightly and reached out to hug Miko's arm. "Besides, Miko is here, so Natsuki-kun definitely won't bully me."

Miko narrowed her eyes, her voice weak: "Sorry, I'll choose to ignore it."

"Eh, eh, that's so mean."

"…"

Amamiya Natsuki took out his key and opened the door: "Come in, the slippers are in the shoe cabinet, change yourselves."

Yotsuya Miko often came over to play, so she agreed and put on the 'lazy fish' slippers.

"Thank you, Natsuki-kun."

Yurikawa Hana, on the other hand, was quite polite. After changing her shoes, she carefully arranged the three pairs of shoes neatly, then happily petted the dog.

"What do you want to drink?" Amamiya Natsuki opened the refrigerator. "There's barley tea, oolong tea, and cola."

Amamiya Natsuki paused.

Opening the refrigerator to see a human head vengeful spirit lying inside, he had to admit, he was indeed startled.

"Barley tea."

"Oolong tea."

The two girls quickly said.

Amamiya Natsuki was expressionless. He activated his Evil Spirit Repelling Aura, and the human head vengeful spirit in the refrigerator let out a hollow scream, turning into gray mist and beginning to dissipate.

Trespassing was one thing, but daring to hide in the refrigerator to scare people?

Taking out the cans of drinks and handing them to Miko and Yurikawa Hana, Amamiya Natsuki led the two girls upstairs to his room.

"Excuse me."

Yurikawa Hana followed behind Miko, carefully stepping inside, her face full of curiosity as she surveyed the room: "Eh, it's so clean. I thought it would be very messy."

Amamiya Natsuki moved the folding table from the balcony: "Because I only cleaned my room yesterday."

"Eh?"

"Usually my room is super messy, there's no place to even step, and supernatural events often occur."

"Supernatural events too?"

Yurikawa Hana clasped her hands over her chest, her eyes wide with nervousness.

Amamiya Natsuki's tone was faint as he began to narrate: "One day not long ago, I woke up in a daze in the morning and suddenly realized that a very important item was missing from my room. There were no signs of the door being opened, and the windows were tightly shut, proving that no outsider had broken in. But that important item couldn't be found no matter what, as if it had quietly vanished into thin air..."

Yurikawa Hana unconsciously lowered her voice, sounding timid: "Could it be a ghost's doing?"

Miko rested her right hand on her pink cheek, getting straight to the point:

"What did you lose?"

"Good question." Amamiya Natsuki interlaced his fingers, his expression serious, "That morning, when I got up to get dressed, I only found one sock. The other sock had vanished into thin air, and I couldn't find it no matter what."

"A-a sock?"

Yurikawa Hana's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What did you think it was?" Amamiya Natsuki retorted.

The blonde girl came back to her senses, her chubby cheeks puffed up, like a hamster with its mouth full of melon seeds: "Natsuki-kun is so mean!"

"My sincerest apologies." Amamiya Natsuki's face showed no guilt whatsoever, "However, I wasn't lying. A sock that suddenly vanishes into thin air is indeed one of the three common supernatural phenomena in daily life."

Yurikawa Hana held her oolong tea with both hands, unable to resist her curiosity: "Um... what are the other two supernatural phenomena?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the blonde girl: "You want to know?"

"Mm-hm."

Yurikawa Hana nodded quickly, her girlish eyes full of curiosity.

Amamiya Natsuki retracted his gaze and took out his workbook: "I won't tell you."

Yurikawa Hana pouted and complained: "Miko, Natsuki-kun is bullying me, hurry up and stop him!"

Yotsuya Miko lay weakly on the table, like a salted fish:

"Sorry, I can't control him."
