After confirming that Miss Kaguya was "unconscious," Amamiya Natsuki was no longer in a hurry to act.
His gaze shifted downwards, falling onto the Sheltered Young Lady's legs.
Hmm, they were over-the-knee white stockings.
It is well known that white stockings, a special path, are generally not something just anyone can wear.
Black stockings make you look thinner.
White stockings, visually, subtly make you look fatter, and if you're not careful, they'll turn into elephant legs, and they're also very easy to get dirty.
So generally, only kindergarteners and elementary schoolers wear them; for ordinary girls, wearing them will only backfire.
But on the Sheltered Young Lady, there was no problem at all.
This Miss was originally slender, and with the white stockings on, lying there with her legs tightly pressed together, one could see her legs were fair and long, her skin as moist and smooth as doll-like, providing an excellent visual effect.
Especially the position of the stocking opening, which pressed a shallow stocking mark onto her thigh, highlighting a subtle fleshiness that made it even harder to look away.
Amamiya Natsuki suddenly remembered a questionnaire he had seen on Twitter before.
What part of a girl is most alluring?
One of the popular voting options was actually the stocking marks created by stockings. Amamiya Natsuki didn't understand it at the time, but now he realized that the choice of experienced drivers is always right!
Even though it was just a slightly indented stocking mark, it seemed to possess a strange magic, making one's heart pound and making it difficult to control oneself.
Amamiya Natsuki looked up at the Miss who was still "unconscious" and wondered if touching her wouldn't require him to turn himself in.
(Where exactly is the President looking!!)
Shinomiya Kaguya buried her face in the pillow, her fair ear tips already flushed crimson and burning hot.
After closing her eyes, her other senses became even more acute.
Shinomiya Kaguya could clearly feel Amamiya Natsuki's gaze lingering and sweeping over her legs inch by inch.
(You're supposed to get rid of the tail, hurry up! You can look at my legs anytime!)
The next second.
"Ugh--!"
The Sheltered Young Lady's body suddenly trembled, and a soft, trembling groan escaped her lips.
(Eh? Eh? Eh?)
(What is the President doing? Peeking is one thing, but he's even using his fingers?)
"Boys are all leg-obsessed; once they see beautiful female legs, they can't help but get excited."
Shinomiya Kaguya held her breath, Hayasaka Ai's words flashing through her mind.
(Is Natsuki getting excited?)
(Even if you want to do something strange, you have to wait until the tail disappears!)
Experiencing the sensation of hot fingertips sliding over her skin, the Sheltered Young Lady's legs uncontrollably tensed and straightened, even her toes curled up, and she bit her lower lip tightly, preventing herself from making a sound.
(After all, I'm still "unconscious"...)
A moment later.
(H-he still hasn't stopped... I can't take it anymore!)
Shinomiya Kaguya finally couldn't bear it any longer and lifted her right leg, stepping on Amamiya Natsuki.
Immediately after, the Sheltered Young Lady's embarrassed voice came muffled from under the pillow:
"...You, stop it!"
"My sincerest apologies," Amamiya Natsuki coughed lightly, "The light is too dim; I can't see clearly."
Liar!
It's just that the curtains aren't open; how could you not see clearly!
"I'm starting."
Amamiya Natsuki composed himself, fumbling downwards along the cat tail, quickly reaching deep inside, to the base of the tail...
The air fell silent.
In the large room, only their rapid heartbeats were clearly audible.
Amamiya Natsuki quickly understood how catgirls wore underwear.
His fingertips ultimately reached only taut, stretched fabric... The truth was, it was just forced!
In anime and games, no one delves into the details of how catgirls wear underwear; as long as they're cute, it's enough.
But this is reality; uncomfortable underwear is already bad enough, let alone forcing it on when you have a tail; it's better not to wear it at all!
(I-I've been discovered...)
The Sheltered Young Lady buried her face in the pillow, steam billowing from the top of her head.
She, of course, knew that wearing underwear with a tail would be very uncomfortable, so she had been going commando all day, but knowing that her mother and Amamiya Natsuki were coming, she absolutely couldn't accept being empty, so she could only grit her teeth, endure the discomfort, and force it on.
The good news was that the underwear was of good quality, so it could be forced on.
The bad news was that it was quite uncomfortable, and the awkward feeling was extremely unpleasant.
"Actually, you could cut a hole in the underwear for emergencies..." Amamiya Natsuki coughed lightly, "It's too tight; I can't reach... Shall I help you take it off?"
(Take, take it off...)
The Sheltered Young Lady was mortified, steam suddenly billowing from the top of her head.
Let a boy help take off her underwear... No, no, no, no, no!
No matter how she thought about it, it was too shameful; she wouldn't be able to face anyone ever again!
But... what if she didn't take it off?
She didn't know how long the side effect would last; if the tail didn't disappear, she wouldn't even be able to leave the room.
The Sheltered Young Lady's head felt dizzy, and she suddenly remembered that she was still in a "unconscious" state.
It's normal for someone who is unconscious to not know anything, right?
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds...
Several seconds passed, and the Sheltered Young Lady still hadn't "woken up" or talked in her sleep, so Amamiya Natsuki knew what to do.
If she didn't agree, she would have been kicked off the bed when he offered to help take it off.
Since that was the case...
Amamiya Natsuki took a deep breath; when it was time to act, he acted, never chickening out at critical moments.
...
The room fell silent again.
Only the rapid heartbeats of two people were clearly audible.
Amamiya Natsuki suddenly felt a little parched, and he even found his hands trembling slightly.
In his life, from childhood until now, it was the first time he had helped a girl take off her underwear; the feeling was quite subtle, and in his nervousness, his fingers accidentally touched the Sheltered Young Lady's body.
"Ugh--!"
A soft, trembling groan sounded lowly, and the Sheltered Young Lady's legs suddenly tensed, her toes curling tightly.
"Sorry, my hand trembled just now," Amamiya Natsuki coughed lightly, explaining in a low voice.
...
The Sheltered Young Lady didn't speak, continuing to "unconscious."
Continue to help.
Under Amamiya Natsuki's efforts, the suppressed and restrained cat tail finally gained freedom.
Amamiya Natsuki subconsciously wanted to continue, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
"N-no..."
The Sheltered Young Lady turned her head to look over, her eyes misty with tears, her voice soft and shy, even carrying a hint of pleading.
In the dim light, one could see that the Miss's pretty face was almost dripping blood, clearly having reached her limit.
"Got it."
Of course, Amamiya Natsuki wouldn't force anyone; he stopped his actions and helped eliminate the side effects.
A mere few minutes felt as long as several years.
Amamiya Natsuki only felt his hand loosen, and subconsciously looked down to see only a patch of snow-white skin; the fluffy silver cat tail had disappeared.
"Congratulations, the operation was very successful."
The Sheltered Young Lady, who had been unconscious, finally woke up, turned to lie flat, pulled the blanket over her body, and tearfully said, "It's... it's finally over..."
Looking at the Sheltered Young Lady, whose pretty face was flushed, breathing rapid, and eyes hazy as she looked over, Amamiya Natsuki finally couldn't hold back and leaned down to kiss her.
Shinomiya Kaguya subconsciously closed her eyes, feeling the familiar heat on her lips, gripping the blanket tightly with both hands, but her pink lips parted slightly.
After an unknown amount of time, a phone ring suddenly sounded, startling the two immersed in the moment.
Amamiya Natsuki raised his head, wiped the trace from the corner of his lips, and took out his phone from his pocket.
"It's Chika's call."
He took a deep breath and answered the call.
"Natsuki-kun, are you alright?" Fujiwara Chika's worried voice came from the other end of the phone, "You haven't come back for so long, and you're not replying to messages. Did you run into trouble?"
Amamiya Natsuki glanced at the Sheltered Young Lady, who had buried her face in the blanket, and said softly:
"The house is too big, I accidentally got lost."
"Eh? Natsuki-kun, don't move around. I'll come find you right away."
I'm sorry, I actually got lost and ended up in the Young Lady's room.
If the Chika secretary knew the truth, no matter how unpredictable her personality, she would definitely be angry.
"No need to come over, I've already found my way, I'll be back soon."
Amamiya Natsuki put away his phone, got up, looked at the Sheltered Young Lady hiding in the blanket, and whispered:
"I'll come see you later."
"..."
Shinomiya Kaguya did not respond, continuing to feign sleep.
Pushing the door, he walked out of the room, where a Maid was quietly waiting in the hallway.
"The side effects are resolved." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Hayasaka, "No need to worry."
"I wasn't worried about the side effects." Hayasaka Ai clasped her hands over her lower abdomen, "I was just worried about the Sheltered Young Lady's chastity."
You worry too much! Chastity is something Kaguya should worry about herself!
Amamiya Natsuki straightened his face and said:
"What kind of person do you take me for?"
"Hmm..." Hayasaka Ai tilted her head and thought, "A perverted unscrupulous physician who secretly takes private photos of the Young Lady and uses them to exchange for pictures of a frail Maid's legs?"
"Correction, I take them openly." Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone, opened a photo of the Sheltered Young Lady as a cat girl, and showed it to Hayasaka, "So... do you want to continue the trade?"
Hayasaka Ai's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to look closely, Amamiya Natsuki took his phone back.
"If you like it, please purchase it and enjoy it at your leisure."
"Tch."
Maid Hayasaka's pretty face suddenly stiffened, and she said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, I'm the personal Maid who grew up with the Sheltered Young Lady since childhood, and I would never peek at the Sheltered Young Lady's privacy... Farewell."
Looking at Hayasaka Ai turning to leave, Amamiya Natsuki was slightly surprised.
She's actually so upright, has she changed her ways?
Putting away his phone, Amamiya Natsuki returned to the living room along the way he came.
"Natsuki-kun, you're finally back." Fujiwara Chika was bored playing on her phone. Seeing him return, she happily stood up, "Although the house is big, it's not to the point of getting lost, is it?"
"I'm sorry, I have no sense of direction."
Sitting down beside Fujiwara Chika, after only a few words, Amamiya Natsuki's phone suddenly buzzed incessantly.
Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone and found over a dozen unread messages. He subconsciously opened one and saw a particularly clear photo of the Maid's stockinged legs.
"...I've been tricked!"
Amamiya Natsuki's eye twitched slightly.
"Eh, eh, eh?" Fujiwara Chika's surprised gasp sounded beside him, "Natsuki, what are you looking at?!"
When someone is looking at their phone, you should consciously look away, not lean in!
"Alright, I admit it." Amamiya Natsuki put away his phone, choosing to self-destruct, "Actually, I have a uniform fetish."
Fujiwara Chika: "...Everyone already knows that, okay?"
As they spoke, Maid Hayasaka walked over, her expression calm, as if nothing had happened, and bowed slightly:
"The Young Lady has woken up, please follow me."
The news that Kaguya had woken up successfully diverted Fujiwara Chika's attention.
"Kaguya-chan is finally awake." Fujiwara Chika quickly got up, "Let's go, let's go see Kaguya-chan."
"..."
Following Maid Hayasaka to Kaguya's room, Fujiwara Chika gasped when she saw Shinomiya Kaguya sitting on the bed, then pounced on and hugged the Young Lady, saying:
"Kaguya-chan, are you alright? Why did you suddenly stop going to school?"
Shinomiya Kaguya's expression had already calmed down, though a slight blush still lingered on her face. She pretended to be nonchalant and said:
"I caught a cold and a fever, and wasn't feeling well, so I took a day off."
"I see." Fujiwara Chika nodded, "When Kaguya-chan is sick, she becomes very clingy. If she went to school, it would be quite surprising."
"Kaguya-san gets clingy when she's sick?"
Amamiya Natsuki heard this and looked curiously at the Sheltered Young Lady.
"You heard wrong." Shinomiya Kaguya tightened her pretty face, "There's no such thing."
"Stare—"
Fujiwara Chika suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked over scrutinizingly.
"Wh-what's wrong?"
Shinomiya Kaguya's heart skipped a beat.
Fujiwara Chika asked in confusion:
"Why do Kaguya-chan's lips look a bit swollen?"
"..."
Shinomiya Kaguya nervously fiddled with the dark hair by her ear, turned her head to look elsewhere, and stammered, "I accidentally bit it while sleeping."
"Stare—"
Maid Hayasaka, who had been standing silently nearby, turned and looked at Amamiya Natsuki.
"That's right." Amamiya Natsuki admitted frankly, "It was me."
Unconsciously, it was already evening.
Amamiya Natsuki suggested leaving, but the Sheltered Young Lady held him back: "It's still early, have dinner before you go back."
Fujiwara Chika raised her right hand and said:
"I want to sleep with Kaguya-chan tonight."
"No." Shinomiya Kaguya refused decisively, "You've been staying out all night frequently lately, your aunt and uncle must be worried, right?"
Fujiwara Chika was puzzled: "When have I been staying out all night frequently?"
Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her arms: "The night before last."
The night before last, Chika and Marin went to play mahjong with Sadako.
"Eh..." Fujiwara Chika blinked, then suddenly said, "Kaguya-chan, could it be that you're jealous?"
"..."
Shinomiya Kaguya was silent for two seconds, tilted her head thirty degrees, and a disdainful smile appeared on her lips: "Fujiwara is really cute~"
In a flash, it was dinner time.
"The food is delicious, but compared to the 'God's Tongue' experience the night before last, the taste is still a bit off." Fujiwara Chika gave her evaluation, "God's Tongue is super amazing, Kaguya-chan must try it."
Amamiya Natsuki said from the side: "Feel free to come over and play anytime."
There were still servants in the restaurant, and Mrs. Shimizu didn't appear, but that didn't stop the conversation: "How about Natsuki-kun stays for the night tonight?"
"...No way!"
Shinomiya Kaguya quickly refused.
After such an embarrassing incident, she didn't want to talk to the President for a week... or even three days!
At this moment, the villa's front door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a suit with medium-length hair walked in, holding a cigarette and exhaling smoke as he walked.
The air suddenly fell silent.
Amamiya Natsuki looked at the man who walked in as if no one else was present. He was already a middle-aged man, with seven or eight female evil spirits clinging to him, occasionally revealing their ferocious faces and silently roaring.
"Uncle Un'yo, good evening." Fujiwara Chika stood up and greeted him politely.
"So, I am Kaguya's older brother." The middle-aged man extinguished his cigarette, nodded, and then said, "I happened to have some time, so I came to visit... Kaguya, I heard you didn't go to school today?"
Shinomiya Kaguya, at some unknown point, had reverted to Ice Princess Kaguya, and said in a cold voice:
"I wasn't feeling well, so I took a day off."
Shinomiya Un'yo said noncommittally:
"You've been feeling unwell frequently lately. Go to the Hospital for a check-up tomorrow."
"No need for my brother's concern." Shinomiya Kaguya coldly refused, "I'm already fine."
"Then continue attending classes tomorrow. The tutor I hired for you has been complaining to me recently." The middle-aged man's gaze shifted to Amamiya Natsuki, "Who is this?"
Amamiya Natsuki said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Nice to meet you. I am the President of the Student Council. Kaguya-san suddenly fell ill and didn't come to school, so we came to visit her."
"Not bad."
Shinomiya Un'yo's tone was indifferent. He nodded slightly, didn't eat, and soon turned and left.
"Time passes so quickly." Mrs. Shimizu sighed, "Little Un'yo has also become a middle-aged man in the blink of an eye."
As the middle-aged man left, Shinomiya Kaguya released her Ice Princess Kaguya form, picked up her chopsticks again, and said:
"Everyone, please continue eating."
"..."
After dinner.
Amamiya Natsuki and Fujiwara Chika said their goodbyes and left.
"Kaguya-chan, see you at school tomorrow." Fujiwara Chika waved goodbye.
Shinomiya Kaguya nodded slightly: "See you tomorrow."
"Come early tomorrow." Amamiya Natsuki said, "You weren't here today, and the Student Council almost couldn't function properly."
"That's right." Fujiwara Chika nodded, "Kaguya-hime is an indispensable member of the Student Council."
Shinomiya Kaguya lightly pursed her rosy lips and softly said:
"See you all tomorrow."
On the way back, Amamiya Natsuki asked about the middle-aged man with long hair.
"He's Kaguya-chan's third older brother." Fujiwara Chika shook her head and said, "I've only seen him two or three times in all this time, so we're not close at all."
"However, when Kaguya-chan was still Ice Princess Kaguya, she was very similar in personality to Uncle Un'yo."
Mrs. Shimizu floated beside the two, and upon hearing this, said: "Thankfully, Natsuki-kun came along, otherwise Kaguya-chan's life would definitely have been very difficult."
"According to you, I should thank the game," Amamiya Natsuki quipped. "It's been half a month since school started, and Kaguya-san hasn't said a word to me."
Fujiwara Chika raised her right hand, her voice clear: "I have spoken to Natsuki-kun."
"Indeed," Amamiya Natsuki said faintly. "In the class, there's no one you haven't spoken to."
"Eh heh~"
"…"
The night passed without a word.
The next day.
Student Council office.
The Sheltered Young Lady returned like a war goddess.
"The Witch Potion can be sold now," Kitagawa Marin said, having arrived in the morning. "Yesterday afternoon, the senpai and I made several more bottles of potion, and our proficiency has improved."
The senpai said from the side:
"We were worried about severe side effects, but now it seems the chance of side effects appearing isn't high."
Shinomiya Kaguya: "…"
Her own bad luck really did raise the probability.
So far, only the Sheltered Young Lady had encountered side effects; no one else had. Marin even drank another bottle of Witch Potion last night, and still nothing happened.
It just goes to show that people's luck cannot be generalized.
Amamiya Natsuki spoke:
"The trading app has also been developed and can be launched together."
There were many talented people in the player group, including programmers. Following Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya's vision, a trading app was developed, mainly to facilitate faster and more convenient transactions—
The number of players was increasing, and so far, there were one or two hundred players in the mutual aid group.
Normally, transactions involved everyone posting selling or buying messages, but the mutual aid group had too many messages, and some people would always miss them. There were also significant issues with security and privacy.
Developing a simple trading app could easily meet players' trading needs, with the slogan: no middlemen earning a price difference—because the money was directly earned by capitalists.
After the discussion, after school in the afternoon, the group went to the Culinary Club to continue refining Witch Potion.
By evening, the trading app was officially launched, with Witch Potion as the main product, along with Miss Chizuru's momotaro rice ball… Since they were player-made and could be mass-produced, the prices were naturally not expensive.
All the players in the mutual aid group were people who had interacted in the dungeon, and they had great trust in Amamiya Natsuki and his group.
The Witch Potion and rice balls sold out quickly upon release.
After receiving the goods the next day and experiencing them, they naturally received rave reviews.
"I feel like I won't need to work at the modeling agency anymore," Kitagawa Marin said, hands on her hips, surprised. "One day's income is more than my monthly income from working."
"Because the Witch Potion is indeed effective," Amamiya Natsuki said. "However, the product is too singular. Next, we need to try to see if we can obtain new Witch Potion recipes."
Fujiwara Chika looked over: "Natsuki-kun, is the coin fully charged?"
"Not yet," Amamiya Natsuki took out the coin and shook his head. "Who wants to try?"
Koyasu Tsubame bit her pink lip lightly and stepped forward: "I don't have anything to do after school, so I can flip the coin."
There is no gain without effort. To receive Lucky Goddess's Favor, one must endure bad luck.
Amamiya Natsuki: "Senpai, you've worked hard."
Marin: "Senpai, you've worked hard."
Chika: "Senpai, you've worked hard."
After they finished speaking, they all looked at Shinomiya Kaguya.
The Sheltered Young Lady's pink lips moved slightly, following suit: "Senpai, you've worked hard."
"That's enough, all of you," Koyasu Tsubame said, rubbing her forehead, exasperated. "No repeating machines."
After clearing the Hospital dungeon, a week passed quickly.
The rainy season had unknowingly departed, and summer had officially arrived. The sky outside the window was clear and azure, like a washed-out canvas, and the cicadas chirped especially loudly.
"It's a holiday tomorrow, how about we all go to the amusement park?" Fujiwara Chika's voice was clear as she suggested. "It'll be a good chance for Natsuki to unlock the amusement park's Theater map… Kaguya-chan, want to come play tomorrow?"
Amamiya Natsuki said: "Meet at the amusement park entrance at nine in the morning."
Shinomiya Kaguya nodded lightly: "See you all tomorrow."
However, the next day.
The Sheltered Young Lady did not appear.
