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

Amamiya Natsuki said in a serious tone, "Since you've already said that, it would be really unreasonable for me to refuse."

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

Why don't you refuse again? Don't agree so easily!

The two walked to the vending machine, bought Sakurajima's specialty small orange ice cream, and then went up to the top deck.

Moon stars are rare.

A gentle sea breeze blows.

The temperature was too high during the day, so there weren't many people on the deck. But now that it's nighttime, there are even more tourists than during the day.

"Come on, open your mouth."

Natsuki Amamiya scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and handed it to Ai Hayasaka.

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

I told you to feed them, so you did. You're never this obedient before!

Many tourists nearby were already casting their gazes, and even the professionally trained maids felt their faces flush slightly as a sense of shame welled up involuntarily.

calm.

Don't panic.

It's not like you know yourself. You're just eating ice cream in public. No one is really paying that much attention. It's all in your head!

Hayasaka Ai took a deep breath, parted her pink lips slightly, ate the ice cream, and said casually:

"As expected, the ice cream fed to me by my senior tastes better."

Despite saying that, the spy maid's ears had clearly turned crimson.

"If you like it, then eat more." Amamiya Natsuki scooped out another spoonful of ice cream and handed it to Hayasaka Ai. "Open your mouth."

"..."

Suppressing her embarrassment, she took another bite. Seeing that Amamiya Natsuki was actually planning to continue, Hayasaka Ai finally couldn't resist any longer. She snatched the ice cream away, a sweet smile spreading across her pretty face, and said:

"You must be feeling hot too, senior?"

"I'm not hot."

"Senior, open your mouth, ah~"

"I'm going to the restroom. Goodbye."

"..."

Without hesitation, Natsuki Amamiya turned and left.

Today's winner is the fake victor, Hayasaka Ai.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Sakurajima soon came into view. Only a ring around the island was lit up, while the rest of the island was pitch black.

"Senior, I've received a notification about the game instance."

Hayasaka Ai let out a soft cry.

This is a lie.

Actually, I received the game notification when I first took the boat in the afternoon.

“It’s good that you received it.” Amamiya Natsuki nodded. “It’s almost eleven o’clock. Don’t get off the ship later. Go straight back to the hotel to rest.”

"..."

The ferry quickly arrived at Sakurajima, stopped for a few minutes, and then turned back.

Natsuki Amamiya and Ai Hayasaka went down to the cabin, no longer wanting to stay on the deck in the wind.

The deck is nice, but there are no seats, so standing for a long time can be tiring.

The two went into the cabin, found a seat at random, and were chatting when Amamiya Natsuki suddenly grabbed Hayasaka Ai's right hand: "Squat down."

"senior?"

Hayasaka Ai squatted down in confusion.

Amamiya Natsuki pointed and whispered, "See that middle-aged man?"

"Saw."

"That's Hai Meng's father."

"..."

No wonder you're hiding.

I mentioned traveling alone before, but if Hai Meng's dad finds out now, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

"I see." The spy maid's eyes flickered, and a sly smile appeared on her pretty face. "Senior, please beg me."

"what?"

"I recently developed a terminal illness where I can't control my talking when I'm nervous. Senior, you don't want Hai Meng's father to find out, do you?"

"..."

Looking at the sly, confident spy maid, Amamiya Natsuki nodded silently: "You're right."

"Hmph, senior, hurry up and coax me."

Amamiya Natsuki said in a low voice, "No need, I have other ways."

"Hey, what method?"

Amamiya Natsuki reached out his right hand and wrapped it around the girl's soft, slender waist, pulling Hayasaka Ai close to him with a little force.

Breathe and smell each other.

A sweet citrus scent wafted from the young girl.

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the girl's pink and moist lips. He said meaningfully, "As long as you can't speak, that's enough, right?"

Hayasaka Ai blinked, instantly understanding Amamiya Natsuki's gaze. She tilted her delicate chin up, completely unafraid, and whispered:

"Your only has a sharp tongue."

"I felt insulted."

"Hmph, senior, the only thing you're tough on is your mouth."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and stepped forward to prove with her actions that she was more than just a tough lip.

The distance between the two sides quickly closed.

The pleasant citrus scent becomes even more intense.

Seeing that the two were only a fist's distance apart, and that Amamiya Natsuki showed no sign of stopping, Hayasaka Ai finally started to panic.

I was just saying it casually, and you actually went through with it?

Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but recall their date at the dessert shop the day before yesterday afternoon. They had accidentally kissed then, so kissing again didn't seem like a big deal...

No!

This is a big problem, okay!

At the last moment, Hayasaka Ai quickly raised her right hand and covered her pink lips with the back of her hand.

"Senior, you can't be so lewd!"

The spy maid shook her head in refusal.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"If I don't act coy, wouldn't I lose face?"

Hayasaka Ai muttered to herself:

"Using bullying girls to prove your worth is such a despicable act."

“You’re wrong.” Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly, kissed the spy maid’s palm, and said in a low voice, “I’m truly wicked when I bully elementary school students.”

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

The two were talking under the table, and before they knew it, the ferry had docked again.

After observing that Haimu's father had left, Amamiya Natsuki got up with Hayasaka Ai and walked off the ferry.

The two took a tram and returned safely to their hot spring inn in Kagoshima.

How do you sleep at night?

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Hayasaka Ai and asked.

"In short, I won't sleep with you, senpai. You actually want me to stay. Senpai must be planning to do something sneaky while I'm asleep." Hayasaka Ai crossed her arms in front of her chest. "That's too frivolous. Please forgive me for not being able to accept it. Goodbye, senpai. I'm going to find Lady Zhu Zhu."

Three rooms were booked in total. Amamiya Natsuki slept alone, Suzu-sama and Komi shared a room, and Kaguya and Chika shared a room. Now that he had switched to the identity of Hanamori, he would naturally be with Suzu and the others to create evidence of their presence.

Wait until tomorrow morning, then get up early again, make an excuse that you have something urgent to attend to and leave first, then switch to the role of a maid and go back to the hotel to help the young lady get up.

As a professional, Hayasaka Ai had already made plans, and even had a special backup plan, to ensure that nothing went wrong.

After leaving Amamiya Natsuki's room, Hayasaka Ai walked a few steps to the door of Shushu-sama's room and knocked.

The door opened quickly.

The calm spy maid let out a soft breath, and a bright smile quickly appeared on her face: "Zhu Zhu, I'm here."

"Ah..." Lord Zhu Zhu's expression was subtle. "Um, come in."

"Good evening, Komi-kun."

Hayasaka Ai walked into the room and greeted them.

Komi quickly nodded, then blushed and looked away.

"Strange." Hayasaka Ai quickly noticed the strange looks in the two girls' eyes. "Did they see through my disguise?"

"impossible."

"If even the young lady didn't recognize her, it must be an illusion!"
