"Natsuki-kun, shall we go?"
After finishing the Student Council's daily affairs, Fujiwara Chika skipped over.
"Let's go."
Amamiya Natsuki got up and picked up his school bag.
He wondered what Chika and Kaguya had talked about in private, as the Sheltered Young Lady actually agreed to let Chika come along to play.
However, it was clear that Fujiwara Chika didn't know the truth about Kaguya not coming to school.
Otherwise, with her personality, she would have already been prancing around in front of others.
The two left the school and walked together towards the Train Station.
Marin and their senpais all had things to do and couldn't come to visit.
The journey was silent.
Half an hour later, led by Fujiwara Chika, who acted as a guide, Amamiya Natsuki easily arrived outside the Shinomiya villa.
"As expected of a rich family's young lady."
Amamiya Natsuki silently gave his evaluation.
The villa in front of him was built on the hillside of a wealthy district. Its vast size went without saying, it had its own courtyard filled with flowers and plants, and even a fountain and sculptures. There were twenty-four-hour security patrols, as well as gardeners, chefs, and maid aunties.
"Is this where Kaguya-chan grew up?" Mrs. Shimizu put her hands behind her back and looked around curiously. "This is my first time here."
Fujiwara Chika tilted her head and said:
"Eh, Shimizu-nee didn't come here when she was alive?"
"No, she didn't." Mrs. Shimizu's expression was normal, and she smiled, "At that time, my body was already very unwell, and I was always bedridden, without spirit or strength… After crossing the boundary of life and death, I finally understood a truth."
"Eh, what is it?"
"Do whatever you want in life, and don't leave yourself with regrets." Mrs. Shimizu turned her head and said, "Does Natsuki-kun have anything special he wants to do, otherwise he'll have great regrets?"
"Hmm…"
Amamiya Natsuki turned his gaze upon hearing this, looking at Chika secretary.
"You, why are you looking at me?"
Fujiwara Chika's pretty face flushed, and she covered her chest with her hands, retreating half a step.
Amamiya Natsuki said righteously:
"If you're cute, can't people look at you?"
"No looking."
"..."
As they spoke, the iron gate guarding the courtyard slid open to one side, and Hayasaka Ai, dressed as a maid, came forward, bowing slightly, her tone cold and her expression calm:
"Please follow me, honored guests."
Fujiwara Chika raised her right hand, covering her mouth, and whispered, "Hasaka-chan is always so cold. I've come to play so many times, and she's never been enthusiastic. Just get used to it."
Once you see her acting spoiled and clingy, you won't think this maid is cold at all!
Upon reaching the living room.
Other maids brought two pairs of slippers. After changing into them, Hayasaka Ai clasped her hands over her lower abdomen and said calmly:
"Chika-chan, Natsuki-kun, afternoon tea has been prepared for both of you. Please enjoy."
Fujiwara Chika asked with concern:
"Didn't Kaguya-chan say she wasn't feeling well? Should we go see her first?"
"The Young Lady is not in good spirits, and she just managed to fall asleep." Hayasaka Ai said calmly, "Please wait a moment, both of you."
"Alright then."
Fujiwara Chika reluctantly agreed, disappointed.
Hearing this, Amamiya Natsuki understood.
Agreeing to let Chika come along was actually to cover up the truth; she didn't intend to see Chika… at least not until the side effect was resolved.
"I have other matters to attend to, please excuse me." Hayasaka Ai brewed red tea for the two of them, bowed slightly, and then retreated, bidding farewell.
However, as she passed by Amamiya Natsuki, Maid Hayasaka subtly gave him a look.
Amamiya Natsuki took a sip of tea, then stood up casually, saying:
"I'm going to the restroom."
"..."
Turning down the hallway, and walking all the way to the end of the hallway, Maid Hayasaka quietly slipped out.
"Natsuki-kun, you're here?"
"I'm here."
"The Young Lady's room is on the second floor. She hasn't left her room all day." Hayasaka Ai whispered, "I'll take you there."
"Wait." Amamiya Natsuki lowered his voice, "She hasn't left all day, how did she use the restroom?"
Hayasaka Ai's expression was calm: "The Young Lady's room has an private bathroom."
"Tsk, despicable capitalist."
Led by the Spy Maid, Amamiya Natsuki didn't take much effort and quickly arrived on the second floor.
"Natsuki-kun, please go in." Hayasaka Ai stopped. "The Young Lady is inside."
"Wait a moment, I have something to say." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Mrs. Shimizu.
"Ah, you two chat, I'll go in and see Kaguya-chan first."
Mrs. Shimizu was quite understanding, smiling as she walked through the door.
Clap!
Amamiya Natsuki reached out and pressed against the wall, cornering Maid Hayasaka in a wall-slam.
"Natsuki-kun, please compose yourself." Hayasaka Ai leaned against the wall, her expression calm and showing no panic, "If you bully me now, I might scream, and the Young Lady might hear it."
Amamiya Natsuki smiled:
"I trust the villa's soundproofing."
Hayasaka Ai: "..."
"What exactly does senpai want to do?" With the threat useless, Hayasaka Ai quickly switched forms, transforming from Maid Hayasaka to Hayasaka. She pressed her hands against Amamiya Natsuki's chest, puffing out her cheeks and saying, "The Young Lady is so uncomfortable right now, and you still have the heart to bully me? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
If she were really super uncomfortable, Kaguya wouldn't have waited until after school today; she would have messaged someone to come over last night!
Amamiya Natsuki whispered:
"I didn't mean to bully anyone, I just want to make a deal with Hasaka-chan."
Hayasaka Ai's delicate eyebrows twitched slightly: "What kind of deal?"
Amamiya Natsuki smiled:
"You're also very interested in Kaguya-san's cat tail, aren't you?"
Hayasaka Ai: "..."
That's right, extremely interested!
A Young Lady who grew a cat tail, forced to carefully and painstakingly hide it to avoid being discovered, her shy and humiliated appearance must be super cute!
In fact, throughout the entire day, Hayasaka Ai had been trying to enter the room, but Shinomiya Kaguya had sternly refused her every time.
Hayasaka Ai even wanted to get a ladder to peek from outside the window, but the curtains were drawn tightly, and she eventually gave up in helplessness.
"After I go in, I plan to take some photos." Amamiya Natsuki whispered, "One photo from me for three from you, isn't that fair?"
"How is that fair!" Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but retort, "Why do I have to give you three photos?"
Amamiya Natsuki said as a matter of course:
"Photos of Catgirl Kaguya are ultimate collector's editions, hard to get, while your photos can be taken anytime. In terms of rarity, it's very fair."
Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but feel her heart flutter. Catgirl photos of the Young Lady… she wanted them.
She wanted them super badly!
The images in her mind were naturally different from the real Catgirl Young Lady; otherwise, so many people wouldn't travel thousands of miles to see their idols in person.
"Even if you say that, the Young Lady definitely won't agree to let you take pictures, will she?"
Hayasaka Ai took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
"That's my business." Amamiya Natsuki whispered, "Just tell me if you're willing to trade. If not, then forget it. I never force anyone."
Hayasaka Ai bit her silver teeth: "…Deal!"
"Then it's settled."
Amamiya Natsuki tidied his clothes, preparing to enter the room.
"Wait—"
Hayasaka Ai suddenly reached out and grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's collar, a smile appearing on her face, "I suddenly thought of a better way to openly go in and see the Young Lady."
Amamiya Natsuki was startled: "What way?"
"It's simple…" Maid Hayasaka's lips curved into a pleasant arc, "As long as I transform into senpai's appearance, I can easily go in, right?"
Amamiya Natsuki: "..."
"Senpai, just paste the healing skill to me." Hayasaka Ai extended her fair and tender right hand, "And leave the rest of the matters to me as well. Natsuki-kun won't have to work hard anymore, isn't that great?"
You've got to be kidding me!
I took you as a companion, but you actually wanted to NTR, and even wanted to turn into my appearance to bully Kaguya. Who is heartless!
"Natsuki-kun, why aren't you speaking?" Hayasaka Ai's smile grew more joyful. "Didn't you just say it was very hard? Now that I'm taking your place, you can go relax and drink tea with Chika-chan."
Amamiya Natsuki said expressionlessly, "Girl, your thoughts are very dangerous."
Hayasaka Ai smiled, "Dangerous but interesting."
"..."
Amamiya Natsuki suddenly regretted giving the Skill Copy Scroll to that Maid Hayasaka.
She actually wanted to turn into a boy's appearance to bully her own Miss. She was simply black-hearted!
Bang, bang.
Amamiya Natsuki raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Mrs. Shimizu floated out, "The door is already open, Natsuki-kun, just come in."
"Mm."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded and pushed the door into the room, only to feel the light suddenly dim.
The room had no lights on, and the curtains were tightly drawn, so the light was inevitably dim. Amamiya Natsuki squinted his eyes and saw the figure of a girl sitting on the bed. Needless to say, it must be the Sheltered Young Lady.
"Do you want to open the curtains and let the sunlight in?"
Amamiya Natsuki asked.
"No." Shinomiya Kaguya refused decisively and asked curiously, "...Mom has been in for so long, why did you just come in?"
"Hasaka-chan stopped me." Amamiya Natsuki said without changing his expression, "I'm a boy, suddenly entering your room. She was very worried and told me to remain composed, full of righteousness, otherwise, I wouldn't even have a chance to surrender."
I'm sorry.
The truth is, we were discussing exchanging your limited edition catgirl photos.
Amamiya Natsuki walked to the bedside and quickly saw the appearance of the Sheltered Young Lady, surprised to find that this Miss was actually wearing a hat on her head.
It was a very ordinary red beret, covering her hair tightly, only revealing a pair of bright, beautiful eyes.
"Why are you wearing a hat in the room?" Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly, a guess forming in his mind, and his gaze immediately became subtle, "Could it be..."
Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lip and raised her hand to press down on the brim of her hat, saying, "After sending the message last night, new side effects appeared..."
Amamiya Natsuki's eyes lit up, "Did cat ears grow out?"
"What's with that expectant look on your face?" Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but exclaim, "I don't want strange things growing on me! I can't even leave the room like this!"
"Actually, you can. You just need to say you're cosplaying as a catgirl." Amamiya Natsuki looked expectant, "First, take off your hat and let me see."
"No."
Shinomiya Kaguya gritted her teeth and refused.
Amamiya Natsuki said sternly, "There is no gender distinction in front of a doctor."
"That's right." Mrs. Shimizu chimed in from the side, "I want to see how cute Kaguya-chan is now."
Amamiya Natsuki pondered, "Probably the cutest in the world?"
The Sheltered Young Lady's pretty face flushed, "How can something strange growing on me be cute!"
A medical examination is very necessary.
Although Shinomiya Kaguya said no, her body cooperated obediently, allowing Amamiya Natsuki to take off her hat.
The moment the hat was removed, a pair of fluffy silver-white cat ears popped out.
It seemed they had been suppressed for a while, as the silver cat ears still trembled slightly in the air.
"Super cute!"
Mrs. Shimizu's eyes sparkled, and she took out her phone from who knows where, starting to snap photos.
Shinomiya Kaguya subconsciously covered her ears, her eyes looking over with embarrassment, "You're still taking pictures?"
Something strange has grown on me, and I'm so distressed, yet you're still in the mood to take pictures?
Do you have a mother like that!
"When a girl encounters something cute, of course, she wants to take pictures and save them." Mrs. Shimizu made a peace sign, her smile joyful. "Speaking of which, when you were very young, Mom wanted to dress you up in all sorts of clothes, and a catgirl maid outfit was one of them."
Shinomiya Kaguya bit her silver teeth lightly, "Don't force your strange hobbies on me!"
Click.
Another sound of a camera snapping was heard.
"Stare—"
Shinomiya Kaguya's gaze shifted, and her eyes glared fiercely at Amamiya Natsuki.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Amamiya Natsuki admitted his mistake, "I don't know why, but my right hand suddenly wouldn't listen to me."
Shinomiya Kaguya tilted her head and looked over, "Unnecessary organs can be donated to others."
"My sincerest apologies."
Amamiya Natsuki apologized while pressing the shutter.
Click.
Another limited edition, treasured photo of the catgirl Miss was obtained. There was no need to consider angles or lighting; every photo was worth collecting. If given to Maid Hayasaka, it would surely receive very satisfactory praise.
The Sheltered Young Lady was both shy and angry, her pretty face flushed red like fire, "...You're still taking pictures!"
"My sincerest apologies."
"When you apologize, stop it!"
"..."
Seeing the Sheltered Young Lady starting to get flustered—it was truly flustered, the fluffy silver fur on her ears was clearly standing up—Amamiya Natsuki knew when to stop and honestly put away his phone.
"Prepare for treatment." Amamiya Natsuki sat down by the bed. "I'm not sure if the healing skill will work. If it doesn't, we can only eat oranges for the scurvy treatment."
Oranges are consumables, and there aren't many left, so it's best not to use them if possible.
Mrs. Shimizu asked curiously, "How will Natsuki-kun treat her?"
"Massage therapy."
Amamiya Natsuki extended his right hand and gently touched the Sheltered Young Lady's ear.
A fluffy, warm sensation came from his fingertips, and Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but gently pinch it.
"Mm—"
The Sheltered Young Lady couldn't help but let out a soft hum, and her cat ears trembled violently.
"So cute, they look very lively when they move." Mrs. Shimizu's eyes lit up, and she also reached out, pinching the Young Lady's other cat ear.
"So soft."
"The fluffy texture feels super comfortable."
"It feels so stress-relieving."
"..."
Slap!
Shinomiya Kaguya could no longer bear it, she slapped their hands away, covered her ears with both hands, and knelt on the bed, her pretty face flushed as she cried out, "You two, stop it!"
Although he said it was treatment, Amamiya Natsuki didn't know exactly how to do it. It was his first time seeing a cat-eared girl, so he could only use the treatment methods of a quack doctor to help.
Fortunately, it really worked.
A few minutes later.
The silver-white cat ears on Shinomiya Kaguya's head suddenly disappeared, turning back into her delicate, snow-white human ears.
"Finally, they've changed back..."
Shinomiya Kaguya covered her chest, letting out a sigh of relief.
"They changed back so quickly." Mrs. Shimizu said regretfully, "I wanted to play a little longer."
Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but puff out her cheeks, "I'm actually not your biological child, am I?"
"Kaguya-chan actually found out..." Mrs. Shimizu's tone darkened, and then she suddenly made a peace sign, "That's right, we're actually long-lost sisters."
Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."
"Chika-chan is still waiting for me outside, I need to go out soon, I can't stay in the room all the time." Amamiya Natsuki interrupted the mother and daughter's exchange and looked at Kaguya, saying, "Has the tail disappeared?"
Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lower lip and reached back to touch, "It hasn't disappeared."
"Then let's continue the treatment." Amamiya Natsuki said, "First, let me see the tail."
"Can't you just not look?" Shinomiya Kaguya knelt on the bed, pressing down her skirt with both hands, her pretty face flushed, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with my eyes."
Amamiya Natsuki spread his hands and said, "Even if you say that, I still need to know where the tail is, right?"
"It's just... behind my butt..." Shinomiya Kaguya stammered, too embarrassed to say the word aloud.
"I know, it should be the tailbone." Mrs. Shimizu said with a smile, "Monkeys' tails all grow there, and catgirls should be no exception."
Shinomiya Kaguya did not deny it, because cat tails indeed grow in that kind of place.
"I'm very curious." Mrs. Shimizu raised her right hand, "How does Kaguya-chan wear panties after growing a tail?"
Amamiya Natsuki heard this and looked curiously at the Sheltered Young Lady.
To be honest, he was also very curious.
Generally speaking, for something like a cat tail, one would probably cut a hole in the panties and then slip it through... A tail that long, it couldn't possibly be wrapped around the waist, could it?
Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face flushed, and she looked at her mother, telling her to leave, "You can go out."
"How... how mean." Mrs. Shimizu covered her face with both hands, "Kaguya-chan doesn't want me anymore, and she's telling me to leave."
"You go out." Shinomiya Kaguya bit her silver teeth lightly and couldn't help but say, "You can't treat me anyway, so staying here is useless."
Mrs. Shimizu: "I can supervise Natsuki-kun and make sure you don't get bullied."
Amamiya Natsuki raised his hand and said, "I promise, I won't bully Kaguya-san."
"..."
After a few more words, seeing that Shinomiya Kaguya's mind was made up, Mrs. Shimizu could only agree and re-enter Amamiya Natsuki's shadow to standby.
The room quickly quieted down.
"Shall we start now?" Amamiya Natsuki looked at Kaguya and discussed, "Your current posture isn't convenient for treatment. How about you kneel and lie prone on the bed?"
The Sheltered Young Lady's pretty face was burning hot. Just imagining it in her mind, she felt that posture was super embarrassing, and she couldn't help but glare at him with embarrassment, saying, "I can just lie prone on the bed, right?"
Amamiya Natsuki coughed lightly, "My mind wasn't working just now... Then you lie down properly."
"..."
The Sheltered Young Lady bit her lips, silently turned around, hugged her pillow, and lay prone on the bed.
The indoor light was still dim, but after so long, Amamiya Natsuki's eyes had adjusted. Looking down, he could clearly see a silver cat tail extending from beneath the Young Lady's skirt, looking slender and elegant.
"I'm starting."
Amamiya Natsuki extended his right hand and gently grasped the Sheltered Young Lady's lucky cat tail.
The moment he grasped it, Amamiya Natsuki clearly felt the tail in his hand suddenly tense up, wanting to break free.
Indeed.
If cat ears could move, cat tails certainly could too.
Amamiya Natsuki tried to pinch it, only feeling the remarkably pleasant furry touch, then followed the tail upwards, his fingers quickly reaching the edge of the Sheltered Young Lady's skirt.
"Wh-what are you doing?!"
Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but put her hands behind her back, tightly clutching her skirt, and turned her head to look over in a panic.
"Of course, I'm treating it," Amamiya Natsuki said righteously, "Do you remember the ears just now? To eliminate the side effect, you need to massage the base of the ear; pinching the tip of the ear is useless."
Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."
Eliminating side effects requires starting from the root, which sounds very reasonable... The problem is, how could I easily agree to you!
Unlike cat ears, the tail grows under the skirt, right?
That means if you want to treat it, the President will have to reach under the skirt... No matter how you think about it, it's too shameful!
"I am a doctor now," Amamiya Natsuki said in a low voice, "In front of a doctor, there is no gender distinction."
"You're not a real doctor," Shinomiya Kaguya puffed out her rosy cheeks and said, "Even a real doctor wouldn't let a male doctor help examine the body!"
Amamiya Natsuki pretended to hesitate: "Then should I transfer the skill to Chika and let Chika help?"
...
Shinomiya Kaguya stopped talking.
Having come this far, to change people midway now, and to Fujiwara, who can never keep a secret... Denied.
I don't want things to get even worse.
Amamiya Natsuki said understandingly:
"How about you close your eyes and pretend to sleep?"
Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face was burning hot, and she turned her head to look over: "How could I possibly sleep?"
"So I said, pretend," Amamiya Natsuki said, "You close your eyes, pretend you don't know what's happening, and leave the rest to me."
...
Unable to come up with a better solution, Shinomiya Kaguya's head felt dizzy, and she subconsciously adopted Amamiya Natsuki's suggestion, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she closed her eyes.
"Is Kaguya-san asleep?" Amamiya Natsuki asked softly.
...
The Sheltered Young Lady kept her eyes tightly closed and didn't speak.
"Very good," Amamiya Natsuki smiled, "Then I won't be polite."
No, not polite...
The Sheltered Young Lady's eyelashes trembled. You're only supposed to fix the tail, and you even want to do impolite things?
What impolite things do you want to do?
If you go too far, I definitely won't keep pretending to sleep.
As he spoke, Amamiya Natsuki had already re-applied his hand to the Miss's cat tail, then moved downwards, reaching the edge of the Miss's skirt, pausing slightly.
Thump-thump-thump~
In the quiet room, one could almost hear the Sheltered Young Lady's rapid heartbeat.
Amamiya Natsuki took a deep breath and continued with the in-depth treatment...
