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

"Xiao Ai has never been to Kyoto before?"

"No." Hayasaka Ai shook her head. Because she had been coaxed along the way, the spy maid's anger had subsided a lot, and she could speak properly for the time being. "The young lady did not participate in the school trip during junior high school."

"I see."

As Kaguya's personal maid, Hayasaka Ai naturally had to stay close to Kaguya. Since Kaguya wasn't going on the school trip, Hayasaka Ai naturally wouldn't be either.

Amamiya Natsuki and Hayasaka held hands and whispered:

"Our school trip will be to Kyoto. After I've copied the skills, I'll be your tour guide and we'll take a tour of Kyoto."

"You idiot student council president." Hayasaka Ai rolled her eyes. "With the sun so strong, who would go out to play in this kind of weather?"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"There are many places to visit; we can go out for a stroll in the evening."

"whispering sound."

"..."

As they chatted along the way, the taxi soon stopped in front of a restaurant.

The two got out of the car. Amamiya Natsuki took out her phone and sent a message to a passerby player. A short while later, a tall woman wearing a strapless top, revealing an indescribable glimpse of skin, hurried out. Upon seeing Amamiya Natsuki, her eyes lit up, and she greeted her warmly:

"Good afternoon, Natsuki-kun."

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and returned the greeting:

"Ms. Tamura, I apologize for disturbing you."

This random player was someone I met in the Misty Village dungeon. Naturally, he was deeply impressed by Amamiya Natsuki and was exceptionally enthusiastic towards her.

"It's hot outside," Ms. Tamura greeted warmly. "Come in quickly, I've already booked a private room."

Follow the woman into the restaurant, wander around, and then enter a private room. It's a traditional Japanese tatami room with a low table inside, where everyone needs to kneel and sit on either side.

After sitting down, the opening pleasantries naturally followed.

The Misty Village instance hasn't been around for very long, but for players, it feels like a lifetime ago.

During the conversation, Ms. Tamura shared her life story. She was actually an office worker who had been working for two years. Every day, she had to endure harassment from her bald boss and workplace bullying. Her life was a mess, with no future and no hope. After being chosen by the game, she almost had a mental breakdown.

Fortunately, she met Natsuki Amamiya, who not only saved her in the dungeon, but also helped her find a way to sell game items for cash after joining a player mutual aid group. She has now achieved financial freedom, so she simply quit her job and started to enjoy the rest of her life. Naturally, she was full of gratitude towards Natsuki Amamiya.

After exchanging words for a while, Natsuki Amamiya got down to business:

"Has Ms. Tamura used the skill [Mob Psycho 100]?"

"Not yet." Ms. Tamura shook her head, bending down to pour water for Natsuki Amamiya as she spoke, shaking her head and smiling bitterly, "It's been several days, and I still haven't reached 100% emotional progress."

While speaking, he also demonstrated the [100% Psychic Power] ability to show that he was not lying.

However, Natsuki Amamiya's attention was drawn to something else...

The weather is so clear.

The moon is so big.

An indescribable, deep ravine appeared before her eyes, causing Amamiya Natsuki to involuntarily cast her gaze; it was a biological instinct, something she couldn't resist.

then……

A sharp pain shot through my lower back.

Hayasaka Ai tilted her head and looked over, smiling as she sent a message to Amamiya Natsuki:

"I feel superfluous. How about I go out and the president and Ms. Tamura call me back after they've finished eating?"

Even if I let you leave now, you won't be able to coax me out even after ten days!

Even without Hayasaka's reminder, Amamiya Natsuki could see Tamura-san's 'special intention'—

Players are a group that walks on the edge of life and death, and it's quite normal for them to exchange their bodies for the protection of the strong, since nothing is more precious than life.

The woman in front of him, dressed in an evening gown in the middle of the day, was undoubtedly trying to use seduction techniques; her target was obvious.

Amamiya Natsuki sat upright, pointed to the maid beside her, and said seriously:

"I didn't have time to introduce her earlier, this is my girlfriend."

"what……"

Ms. Tamura naturally understood Amamiya Natsuki's subtext. A hint of embarrassment flashed across her face. She quickly sat up straight, extended her hand, and said, "Hello, I am Tamura Yuka. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The spy maid responded with a smile:

"Hello, I'm Hayasaka Ai, nice to meet you."

"..."

When Amamiya Natsuki introduced Hayasaka to her face, Ms. Tamura gave up her idea of ​​repaying the debt with her body, and the atmosphere finally became harmonious.

After lunch, Amamiya Natsuki gave him several bottles of witch's potions, then took out a blank skill scroll and said:

"Ms. Tamura, I'm counting on you from now on."

Ms. Tamura asked curiously:

"How can I cooperate?"

"Don't be nervous," Natsuki Amamiya said gently. "Just place your hand on the blank space of the scroll."

"it is good."

Ms. Tamura took a deep breath and agreed.

Of course, there is a chance of failure when copying skills. In order to increase the success rate of copying, Natsuki Amamiya flipped a coin and gave herself a lucky buff.

"It's time to start."

Natsuki Amamiya placed the scroll on the table.

Miss Tamura nodded, placing her right hand on the blank space of the scroll. Soon, tiny black lines appeared on the blank skill scroll.

Having used a blank skill scroll once before, Natsuki Amamiya knew very well that this was a sign that the skill copying process was beginning. When the black lines covered the entire scroll, it meant that the skill copying was successful; otherwise, it meant that the copying had failed.

The private room fell silent.

None of the three spoke; they waited silently.

After a while.

The black lines gradually covered the entire scroll, and the otherwise unremarkable scroll suddenly emitted a faint purple glow.

Hayasaka Ai breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Copy successful."

【Psionic 100%】is actually a purple-level skill, and the success rate of copying it is not high. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to successfully copy the skill.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"Ms. Tamura, you've worked hard. You can take your hand back now."

"I understand." Ms. Tamura quickly withdrew her right hand, looking curiously at the skill scroll. "I thought it would hurt a lot."

Amamiya Natsuki stood up, preparing to leave, and said:

"Thank you, Ms. Tamura. Well then, I'll take my leave now."

The desired skills have been successfully copied. If I stay any longer, Hayasaka might get jealous again, which would be counterproductive.

"I'll see you off."

Miss Tamura hurriedly got up to see her off. Her mandatory quest was coming up soon. She actually wanted Natsuki Amamiya to go into the dungeon with her, but she knew very well that Natsuki Amamiya wouldn't agree. It was just about copying skills, and it wasn't worth going into the mandatory dungeon for an adventure. Besides, Natsuki Amamiya had just given her a witch's potion and promised to contact her anytime she needed to copy skills. She swallowed the words back down.

The three walked to the restaurant entrance, then said their formal goodbyes. Amamiya Natsuki led Hayasaka onto the street.

“It’s too hot. Let’s find a place to rest for a while.” After walking a few steps, Natsuki Amamiya looked at Michi Hayasaka. “Perfect timing to test out my new skill.”

He had just tried it out; the Psychic 100% skill could be copied to others, greatly increasing its practicality.

Looking at the love hotel in front of her, Hayasaka Ai's pretty face flushed crimson. She pinched Amamiya Natsuki's waist shyly and gritted her teeth, saying:

"You perverted president, don't push your luck!"

"No, I didn't," Natsuki Amamiya said seriously. "It's just that this is the closest place."

"Heh, man."

"I'm just going in to test out new skills, I promise I won't do anything."

"Pooh!"

Hayasaka Ai spat lightly, her eyes filled with disdain, indicating that she didn't believe a single word of it.

Excuse!

They're all excuses!

They're talking about testing skills, but their true intentions are clearly written all over their faces!

"Let me go right now." Hayasaka Ai said sternly, "or I'll call the police."

Amamiya Natsuki remained expressionless and pulled Hayasaka into the hotel: "I feel like I have heatstroke and I desperately need to rest."

"Go and rest if you want, I don't need to."

"Of course, Hayasaka-sama needs to be by my side, otherwise what if I faint?"

"hehe."

"..."

Hayasaka Ai blushed and looked disgusted, but in the end, Amamiya Natsuki dragged her into the hotel, claiming it was because of the hot weather and to prevent heatstroke.

Of course, both of them knew perfectly well whether they truly disliked each other.

Natsuki Amamiya didn't actually use much force. If Hayasaka really didn't want to, he wouldn't have dragged her in at all—in short, she was being 'forced' into it, not doing it willingly.

A cool breeze blew in, dispelling the sweltering heat from their bodies.

“There are many more themed rooms…” Amamiya Natsuki led Hayasaka to the self-service machine and asked softly, “Which one would you like to use for resting?”

Hayasaka Ai's pretty face flushed, her gaze swept over the self-service machine, then quickly looked away and said:

"Let me go, I'm leaving."
