"This… world?"
Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya exchanged glances, suddenly remembering something.
Although this Spider Girl was entrenched on campus, she might not be a derivative of the Door of Despair, but rather an existence from another world.
So… perhaps they could obtain information about another world from her?
"This food is called a Cupcake, and there are dishes many times more delicious than this," Amamiya Natsuki said with a smile, "Do you want to eat them?"
"I want to eat them!"
The Spider Girl's answer was quite straightforward, completely forgetting her earlier disdain.
Just one bite of the Cupcake had made her a captive of delicious food.
Shinomiya Kaguya raised her right hand, tucked the strands of hair falling to her chest behind her ear, and asked softly:
"What is the other world like?"
The Spider Girl's voice was muffled as she spoke:
"It's a world full of food."
"Food…" Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly, "Are you talking about despair?"
"That's right." Spider Girl grabbed a cake with each hand. "That world was full of food. It was so much fun. I could eat as much as I wanted. It's just that I was born not long ago and was still very weak. I was caught by that door and trapped in the school. It was super boring, and I couldn't even eat my fill… Nom!"
Spider Girl took a bite of the Cupcake, her small face full of joy and satisfaction. She raised her chin proudly and said:
"Even in that world, I'm a very powerful existence. When I grow into my complete form, I can take on ten humans like you!"
Amamiya Natsuki said expressionlessly:
"You lost."
Spider Girl glared over, her voice muffled: "That's because you ganged up on me!"
Amamiya Natsuki: "You lost."
Spider Girl: "I had just woken up, and you ambushed me."
Amamiya Natsuki responded with an unchanging expression: "You lost."
"Hmph!"
Spider Girl gave up arguing and focused her attention on the delicious food, entering a crazy eating mode.
Shinomiya Kaguya got up and walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of fruit juice, and continued to ask Spider Girl about the other world, using food as a lure.
Spider Girl answered every question, but her voice was muffled as she ate and drank, and there were many things she didn't know.
Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya listened and analyzed, making notes, and finally compiled a summary of information.
The other world was also a human world, but bizarre incidents emerged endlessly, and all kinds of crises erupted. Humans were like insects living at the bottom, and civilization had even been destroyed—when Spider Girl wandered in the other world, she never ate human food.
Clearly, only when their survival was threatened did humans stop caring about the taste of food.
Unfortunately, this Spider Girl was trapped inside the door not long after she was born, and spent most of the latter half of the time in slumber, so she did not know the way or reason for the kaidan to invade from the other world.
"Humans, are there any more Cupcakes?"
As she spoke, Spider Girl had already devoured all the Cupcakes. However, her stomach remained flat and smooth, showing no signs of bulging. She wiped her mouth and asked Amamiya Natsuki for more food.
"No, you've eaten them all." Amamiya Natsuki shook his head. "After eating so much food, do you feel full?"
"No." Spider Girl pressed her abdomen. "I can still eat a hundred!"
Shinomiya Kaguya said softly:
"Can the food you eat restore your high-speed regeneration ability?"
"Of course not." Spider Girl said with her hands on her hips, "Only human despair can replenish my power. If you want me to recover my strength, provide me with despair."
"Despair…" Shinomiya Kaguya pursed her lips, instinctively thinking of a place where despair gathered. "Go to the Hospital?"
Amamiya Natsuki nodded:
"The Hospital it is."
If there was any place in the human world that gathered many despairing people, the Hospital would definitely be the first choice.
"However, Spider Girl's body is more difficult to handle." Amamiya Natsuki looked at spider girl and asked, "Can you transform into human legs?"
This Spider Girl's upper body was human, and her lower body was a black spider. If she walked out like this, she would immediately be arrested by the law enforcement team.
"What do you want to do?" Spider Girl's eyes immediately became wary. "Don't try to trick me into giving birth to little spiders for you!"
Hey, hey, don't slander my innocence! What kind of sick person would even think about your body?!
And spiders are oviparous, you can't give birth to little spiders, you can only lay spider eggs!
Amamiya Natsuki said expressionlessly:
"Since you can transform, then quickly change into a human form, and I'll take you to the Hospital to replenish your despair."
Spider Girl was still very wary: "I won't give birth to little spiders for you!"
"That's enough." Amamiya Natsuki couldn't bear it anymore. "Do you not know how to write the word 'master'?"
"…"
In the end, Yandere Kaguya stepped forward and said she would supervise the entire process, which temporarily dispelled Spider Girl's wariness.
This Spider Girl indeed had transformation abilities. Before long, her black spider body disappeared, transforming into a pair of fair, slender human legs.
"President." Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face hardened as she instructed, "Turn around."
"Understood."
Amamiya Natsuki glanced at Spider Girl and silently turned around.
After this guy transformed into a human, she naturally had no clothes on. Her whole body was smooth and bare, just like Juju, and not just her hair was pink…
"I'll go get some clothes for Spider Girl."
Shinomiya Kaguya quickly went upstairs, and before long, she came down with a dress.
The size was a bit big, but it could barely be worn.
"So uncomfortable." Spider Girl complained clumsily as she put on the clothes, "I don't understand, why do you humans wear such uncomfortable things?"
Shinomiya Kaguya said softly:
"Because everyone wears clothes, and it's very comfortable to wear."
Spider Girl retorted:
"If it's so comfortable, why do only you humans wear clothes, and all other creatures don't?"
Amamiya Natsuki said faintly from the side:
"You know too much."
"…"
Dressed and ready.
Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya took Spider Girl and prepared to go out.
It was the height of summer, and it was afternoon. The moment they opened the door, a wave of scorching heat rushed in.
"The highest temperature in the afternoon is close to forty degrees…" Amamiya Natsuki looked at Yandere Kaguya and discussed, "How about we go out in the evening instead?"
Shinomiya Kaguya silently withdrew her right foot and said nonchalantly:
"I'll listen to the President."
"…"
The two returned inside, turned on the air conditioning again, and spent the summer afternoon.
The afternoon hours passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening. When the sun began to set, Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya went out again, taking Spider Girl with them, and headed straight for the Hospital.
The journey was silent.
Upon arriving at the Hospital, Spider Girl quickly sniffed and became excited:
"It's the smell of despair! I smell a lot of human despair!"
Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya's expressions were calm; neither of them was happy.
Human joys and sorrows are not interconnected.
The two could not empathize with the despair of the patients or their families, but they would certainly not be happy about it.
"Shinomiya, you take her for a walk around the Hospital." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Yandere Kaguya and said softly, "I'll go find Chizuru and paste the skill."
"Leave it to me."
Shinomiya Kaguya nodded gently and took Spider Girl's hand.
Amamiya Natsuki looked down at Spider Girl and commanded:
"From now on, you listen to Shinomiya. Whatever she tells you to do, you do."
Spider Girl was a bit reluctant:
"Why should I listen to her?"
Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:
"Because she's my girlfriend. I have to listen to her, so try not listening."
"…"
Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face quickly flushed red, and she gave him an annoyed glare, then led Spider Girl away.
After watching Yandere Kaguya go upstairs, Amamiya Natsuki went to the agreed location to paste the healing skill on Chizuru. The casual conversation during this time needs no further elaboration.
After finishing, Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya met up. The two took Spider Girl and toured the Hospital, then went home together.
After eliminating the kaidan door, Amamiya Natsuki and Yandere Kaguya's lives returned to normal.
The two returned home, then took their dog for a walk in the park, putting Spider Girl into the Theater space along the way.
Around ten o'clock at night, Miko, dressed in her pajamas, slipped over from next door to stay the night as usual.
Amamiya Natsuki wanted to go to bed early, but unfortunately, Mrs. Shimizu on the sofa was glaring at him, giving him no chance to sleep.
When it was midnight, after entering the Theater, he also had to play mahjong with Sadako, or be pulled by Yandere Kaguya to read books, so he was quite busy.
The night passed without incident.
The next day.
At five-thirty in the morning.
In the height of summer, it was already bright at five-thirty in the morning. Miko turned off her gently vibrating phone, yawned, and then rubbed her eyes as she quietly went home.
If she waited any longer, the auntie would wake up, and Miko's risk of being caught would greatly increase.
However, players are very vigilant. No matter how lightly Miko moved, she would still wake up Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya.
Normally, Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya would continue to rest, as it was very early and there was nothing to do if they got up.
But today… Amamiya Natsuki couldn't sleep at all.
Listening to Miko's footsteps as she closed the door and left, Amamiya Natsuki quickly got up and went to the restroom.
However, after returning from the restroom, Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted and fell upon Yandere Kaguya, who was lying on her side.
Then… he stepped towards Yandere Kaguya's side.
The Evil Spirit Banishing Aura had a limited range, so the few of them always slept on futons in the living room.
"Eh, eh, eh? President, did you go to the wrong place?"
Shinomiya Kaguya had, of course, already woken up. Hearing footsteps beside her, she opened her eyes in surprise.
The next second.
Amamiya Natsuki sat down beside Yandere Kaguya.
"He, he sat down… Could it be that the President is still half-asleep?"
Shinomiya Kaguya's beautiful eyes widened even further.
Impossible!
In just one second, Shinomiya Kaguya denied her own guess.
He's not an ordinary person, how could he be so groggy that he sleeps in the wrong bed?!
So… it must be intentional, right?
It definitely is!
What does the President want to do?
Yandere Kaguya's heart was in a panic, and she couldn't help but become nervous.
A few seconds later.
As a hand rested on her waist, Shinomiya Kaguya quickly knew what the President wanted to do.
A night raid!
It was clearly something from those manga, doing something excessive secretly when a girl was asleep, and even if the girl woke up midway, she wouldn't dare to speak out due to shame…
"Excessive!"
"The President is too much!"
"Taking advantage of someone's vulnerability!"
"Shameless and despicable!"
"Hayasaka said before that when encountering such a situation, one must not swallow their anger, but decisively resist and use anti-wolf techniques to strike the President's vitals… Yes, that's how it should be!"
However, the tiny Shinomiya Kaguya in her mind hammered Amamiya Natsuki a thousand times, but for some reason, her eyes couldn't open at all.
Shinomiya Kaguya only felt dizzy in her head, and her eyes involuntarily closed tightly.
"It was correct after all."
Seeing that Kaguya was still sleeping with her eyes closed, neither hitting him nor speaking to stop him, Amamiya Natsuki knew Kaguya's choice.
It was absolutely impossible for her to ask for a massage herself.
She wouldn't agree if he asked for her opinion either.
Only when she was asleep would she tacitly allow it, because… as long as she didn't open her eyes, she wouldn't know anything.
Amamiya Natsuki, with a burst of determination, slid his right hand from Kaguya's waist, his fingertips brushing over her warm, smooth skin, and then climbed all the way up.
"Mmm…!"
Kaguya's body suddenly tensed, then slowly relaxed, and in her daze, a thought emerged in her mind:
In a while, she wouldn't be lowering the average for high school students anymore, right?
In the blink of an eye, it was bright daylight.
After breakfast, Amamiya Natsuki was hiding at home, idly playing a game, when Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly walked out of the bathroom, her lips pursed, her expression complex, and she softly said:
"President, I'm going home."
"Hmm?"
Amamiya Natsuki was startled, his first reaction was the secret massage incident from the morning, and he quickly promised:
"I was wrong, I won't help you with massages anymore!"
"What is the President talking about? I don't know anything at all!" Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face quickly flushed red, and she glared at him with embarrassment, then straightened her pretty face and said, "My third brother just called me and told me to go back to the villa for a few days."
Amamiya Natsuki heard this, and the image of Kaguya's third brother, Shinomiya Un'yo, appeared in his mind.
Ever since Shinomiya Kaguya ran away from home, Shinomiya Un'yo had never come to look for her, only cutting off her credit cards and all funds—
Although they were siblings, there was a twenty to thirty year age gap between them.
Shinomiya Un'yo was already a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, and he had no worries about Shinomiya Kaguya's childish, play-house-like runaway.
The only place he probably misjudged was that Shinomiya Kaguya could actually run away from home for so many days in one go.
"He hasn't sent you a message for so long, and now he suddenly calls, it feels like he has other motives." Amamiya Natsuki stood up and said, "I'll go back with you."
"The President doesn't need to go." Shinomiya Kaguya gently shook her head, her voice confident, "Even if my third brother has ulterior motives, it depends on whether I agree or not."
When a scholar has been away for three days, one should look at him with new eyes.
As a seasoned player, if Shinomiya Kaguya wanted to leave, there really was no ordinary person who could stop her.
"Alright then." Amamiya Natsuki said, "Send me a message anytime if something happens."
"Mhm." Shinomiya Kaguya nodded gently, turned and walked upstairs, "I'll go pack my luggage."
A moment later.
Shinomiya Kaguya came downstairs, carrying her suitcase.
More than a month had passed since Kaguya ran away from home, and they had been living together for over a month.
Now that Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly had to leave, Amamiya Natsuki felt especially reluctant.
Looking at Kaguya who walked in front of him, Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but reach out and pull her into his embrace.
At this point, besides not agreeing to "I want it all," there was actually no difference between them and dating.
"What should I do if I want to kiss Kaguya?"
Amamiya Natsuki asked softly.
"You can't."
If you say you want to kiss and I let you kiss, wouldn't that be very undignified?
Even though she said that, Shinomiya Kaguya's body was quite honest; she stood on her tiptoes and closed her eyes.
She was going back to the villa soon, and didn't know when she would return… of course, she also wanted a kiss.
Lips touched.
After a simple push and pull, Kaguya quickly began to shyly respond.
A moment later.
"Slap!"
A crisp slapping sound suddenly rang out.
Shinomiya Kaguya took half a step back, her pretty face flushed, covering her chest, and she glared at him with embarrassment, saying:
"The President is too lewd!"
You didn't say anything during all that time I was massaging you, but now you hit my hand away as soon as I touch you. As expected, I still have to raid you at night!
Amamiya Natsuki called Mrs. Shimizu out again, and the mother and daughter talked for a while before Kaguya left.
As Shinomiya Kaguya left, the house quickly quieted down.
Looking at the empty living room, Amamiya Natsuki could only divert his attention and resume playing his game.
A moment later.
The doorbell suddenly rang.
"Hmm?"
Amamiya Natsuki got up and walked towards the entrance, thinking it was Kaguya returning. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the clear and bright voices of the junior high students.
"Senpai, good morning!"
"Senpai, Senpai, we're here to play!"
In the bright sunshine, the smiles of the two junior high students were exceptionally radiant; they were Moeha and Hanamaru-chan.
Behind the junior high students was also a pink-haired secretary with a pitch-black bow.
Fujiwara Chika's voice was clear as she waved and said:
"President, ohayo."
"Morning." Amamiya Natsuki moved aside, "Come in."
"Sorry to bother you, Senpai."
The two junior high students happily walked into the entrance.
"Did Senpai have breakfast?"
"We bought you some fruit."
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"I've already eaten. Take the fruit to the kitchen to wash."
After the two junior high students ran into the kitchen, Amamiya Natsuki looked at Chika and said:
"Why did you suddenly come over?"
"Because Hanamaru-chan said she wanted to thank the President, and then Moeha also wanted to come." Fujiwara Chika handed over the shopping bag she was holding, "They haven't been to the President's house before, so I had no choice but to bring them."
Amamiya Natsuki saw through Chika's true intentions at a glance: "You wanted to come and play yourself, didn't you?"
Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands together in front of her chest, then stuck out her tongue and closed one eye, smiling smugly:
"Eh heh~"
Walking into the living room with thumping steps, Fujiwara Chika looked left and right, then turned her head and asked:
"Eh, why don't I see Kaguya? Has she not woken up yet?"
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Kaguya has already returned to the villa."
Fujiwara Chika quickly walked over: "Eh eh, what happened?"
Amamiya Natsuki didn't hide anything and recounted the phone call.
"I see." Fujiwara Chika put her hands behind her back and nodded, "It's fine for Kaguya to go back for a few days; anyway, there's plenty of time during the summer vacation."
Amamiya Natsuki sat on the sofa and looked at Chika, saying:
"What about your house arrest?"
"Hmph hmph!" Fujiwara Chika proudly lifted her chin, her voice clear, "Dad and Mom went on a trip to the Southern Hemisphere, and they left Moeha at home to watch over me. Moeha is my person now; whatever I tell her to say, she'll tell Mom."
Amamiya Natsuki heard this and said:
"In that case, don't go back tonight."
"Eh?"
Amamiya Natsuki lowered his voice and said:
"The favor of saving your sister, isn't it fair to repay it with yourself?"
Fujiwara Chika: "…."
