Kaguya-sama: Love Is War wants me to turn myself in.

Divert trouble to the east!

Seeing her face flush red, she guiltily looked away and said:

"What are you talking about? Why would I feel heartache..."

One-hit KO.

Hayasaka Ai sighed inwardly.

They couldn't even last one round; they were simply not good enough.

at the same time.

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly felt something was wrong, so she silently sat down on the sofa, resting her left hand on her knee and her right hand on her chin, resembling a classic painting by the French sculptor Rodin.

"Eh, senior?"

Hayasaka Ai quickly noticed Amamiya Natsuki's unusual behavior. "Senpai, are you alright?"

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze seemed to pierce through the buildings, looking towards the distant sky, her voice unusually calm as she spoke:

"I'm very good."

Seeing that Zi was speechless and looked over, she asked, "Why did you suddenly strike that pose?"

Natsuki Amamiya said calmly:

"This posture facilitates thinking."

Hayasaka Ai rolled up the newspaper and handed it to Amamiya Natsuki: "Hmm, may I ask what you're thinking about, senpai?"

“The universe, time, and life and death.” Natsuki Amamiya remained in the same position, her voice low and deep. “The universe is so vast, and humanity is so insignificant, yet we always focus on individual emotions and desires. It’s not good, it’s very bad.”

Jianzi: "..."

"stare--"

Hayasaka Ai covered her chest with her right hand, bent down, and waved in front of Amamiya Natsuki.

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya stared straight ahead, her gaze unwavering and unchanged.

"Your gaze is so serene." Hayasaka Ai reached out and poked Amamiya Natsuki's cheek. "It's as if you're truly contemplating the ultimate meaning of the universe and life."

Seeing that her arms were crossed over her chest, she frowned slightly and said:

"Was that the effect of the gun from earlier?"

“It should be.” Hayasaka Ai nodded, resting her chin on her right hand, a thoughtful expression on her face. She quickly snapped her fingers. “…I know what state you’re in right now, Senpai.”

"What is it?"

Seeing the child looking over curiously.

“The sage period.” Hayasaka Ai held up one finger. “To shed the vulgarity and interests of ordinary people, to become detached from desires and interests, to be uninterested in anything—that must be the sage period, right?”

Jianzi: "..."

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true.

Since Miko isn't a sterile young lady like Kaguya, she naturally knows what "post-coital sage time" is.

It is said that this is a special state, like that of a saint or Buddha, transcending worldly affairs and indifferent to worldly matters. Like a great sage from another world, he has already known the truth of the world and there is nothing in the world that can arouse his interest.

"Won't Natsuki stay like this forever?"

Seeing that Zi was somewhat worried.

Last night when I was going to sleep, I was worried that Natsuki Amamiya might turn into a hungry wolf and not be able to control herself to attack me at night. Now that she looks like this, it's even more worrying.

If she had to choose one, Miko would rather be attacked at night.

"Don't worry, Miko-senpai," Hayasaka Ai assured her. "This state definitely won't last long. The younger the boy, the shorter the time he can maintain this sage state."

Jianzi: "..."

The "post-coital period" was quite interesting at first, but after a few minutes, seeing that Natsuki Amamiya was still motionless, it quickly became boring.

"It's past eleven o'clock." Jianzi finished her drink, got up and walked towards the kitchen. "I'll go and cook something."

Hayasaka Ai said in a clear voice:

"Please leave the senior to my care."

"..."

Watching Miko walk into the kitchen, Hayasaka Ai's eyes darted around, and she shifted her little bottom to sit down next to Amamiya Natsuki. Then she stretched out a finger and gently poked Amamiya Natsuki's cheek.

"Senior, senior~ It's just the two of us alone again."

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya remained silent.

"Huh?" The spy maid blinked. "Senior, why aren't you saying anything?"

Natsuki Amamiya said calmly:

"Meaningless conversations don't need to be answered."

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

They actually said they didn't want to answer, which is infuriating!

"Senpai, I'm curious." Hayasaka Ai leaned forward, getting closer until she was only a fist's distance from Amamiya Natsuki's cheek, using her seductive skills without reservation, her breath sweet and fragrant. "What are you thinking about?"

Amamiya Natsuki stared straight ahead, her gaze unwavering, as if she were looking through Hayasaka into an unfathomable void. Her voice was calm as she spoke:

"I am reflecting on this."

"Eh? What is that?"

"If it is not necessary, do not increase the physical body, for flesh and blood are weak and painful, while machines ascend."

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

"I don't understand, I don't understand at all." The spy maid poked Amamiya Natsuki's cheek again. In her sage state, Amamiya Natsuki didn't resist at all. "Please speak to me like a normal person, senior. Thank you."

Amamiya Natsuki said slowly, "I gradually came to understand everything."

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Hayasaka Ai started to panic.

Despite the passage of time, Natsuki Amamiya remained in her sage form, her posture unchanged except for blinking.

Hayasaka Ai was certain that the Sage state couldn't be a permanent buff, but she didn't know how long it would last.

If the buff lasts for three or four days, Natsuki Amamiya in that state probably wouldn't even go to school, right?

"Senior, are you tired?"

"Not tired."

"How about we change to a more comfortable position?" Hayasaka Ai tempted. "If you agree, I can provide you with a lap pillow."

"unnecessary."

"whispering sound."

Hayasaka Ai bit her lower lip, glanced at Miko who was busy in the kitchen, and clicked her tongue softly.

That does not work.

Amamiya Natsuki, who has been in a sage state for so long, looks troublesome; we must change him back to a sage state.

The question is, how do we break out of the sage state?

Hayasaka Ai quickly recalled a famous bald monk from history.

Even Tang Sanzang couldn't help but be moved when he met the Queen of the Women's Kingdom. You, a sage who is like a cricket, can't possibly have a stronger will to follow the Dao than Tang Sanzang, can you?

Even a sage cannot necessarily resist the temptation of beauty!

and so……

"Senior, would you like some stockings?"

Chapter 319 Hayasaka Ai Loses Her Armor

"Senior, would you like some stockings?"

Hayasaka Ai stood up and walked in front of Amamiya Natsuki. With her left hand, she grabbed one side of her skirt and gently pulled it up, quickly revealing a glimpse of her fair and delicate thigh skin. Then, with her right hand, she slipped her fingers inside the stockings, hooked them up, and gently pulled them down.

This spy maid is wearing white stockings with a pink decorative bow at the top, making her look exceptionally cute.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on the spy maid's thighs. Her fair skin and white stockings seemed to radiate a soft glow, making it difficult to tell whether her skin or stockings were whiter.

"Senior, if you just nod, I'll take off my stockings and give them to you. I mean what I say, I'll never go back on my word."

Hayasaka Ai lowered her voice and began her seduction operation.

The ability to use color is a human instinct.

Especially for high school students aged seventeen or eighteen, wouldn't they be unable to resist the slightest temptation?

The cricket's sage time—it's hard to believe it's more powerful than human instinct!

"I do not want."

Amamiya Natsuki rested her chin on her right hand, her gaze fixed on Hayasaka's stockings, but her eyes remained completely unmoved.

"Senior, senior, these are stockings I specially changed into today." Hayasaka Ai continued to pull the stockings down. "I finally mustered up the courage to give them to you. If you don't take them, you won't have another chance."

"unnecessary."

Natsuki Amamiya's tone remained as calm as water.

It's just a rayon product; I have absolutely no interest in it.

In a state of perfect tranquility, not only you, but even Kaguya herself wouldn't be moved!

"……whispering sound."
