To be honest, Nanami didn't actually have much desire to use her cheat ability to do evil. She was just an ordinary girl who lacked love in both her lives, and she only had so many pursuits. Although her personality was regrettable, she knew her limits. So after learning about the upgrade of her cheat ability, she didn't have much desire to do anything wrong.

Of course, she really wanted to do something bad to that bastard Su Shi right now. She, Nanami Natsuki, had never been so humiliated by a high school girl before. This had dealt a heavy blow to her almost twisted self-esteem.

"Sister Yue, actually... I... I told Su Shi about your relationship with Xiao Xiang. Ah... I didn't say that you were pretending to be Xiao Xiang's aunt. I just said that you were pretending to be Mr. Qing Gao's illegitimate daughter."

"Yes, this is the same as what Su Shi told me. Hurry up and tell me more!"

While issuing a warning, Nanami Natsuki increased the pressure of her stomp on Hatsuka's head, but she had a feeling... that Hatsuka seemed to enjoy her humiliation?

"And, also, I told Su Shi that you are Nanami Natsuki herself, and that the whole thing about you and Xiao Xiang swapping bodies is fake. But... I also told her that the previous Xiao Xiang had swapped bodies with Xiao Xiang's father."

"I see. But Su Shi probably already knew that."

"Yes, yes...she did know all along."

"Anything else? Is that all?!"

"Really, that's all! Sister Yue, all I've done is this... Waaah... I really haven't done anything else to wrong you. Please, just this once, I really won't do it again!"

"Please...please don't tell Xiaoxiang the truth. I really don't want her to know that I'm this kind of person..."

"Really? Then it seems Su Shi wasn't lying to me; these are the only two bad things you've done..."

"Yes, and all of this was done under Su Shi's influence. I...I..."

"Hmm~"

Nanami Natsuki moved her small foot away, then patted Hatsuka's shoulder and said with a mischievous grin, "What if I said that Suze didn't say any of that, and that I was just bluffing you... what would you think?"

"...Huh?"

Chu Hua was stunned and could no longer maintain her kneeling position. She collapsed to the ground, her body limp, like a broken puppet whose soul had been emptied.

She actually got scammed... she actually confessed everything herself... what was she doing...?

"Chu Hua, I never said I was angry about what you did, did I?"

"Really...?" Chu Hua's eyes immediately lit up.

"Of course, it's understandable that you would do these things, isn't it? And the fact that you're willing to confess to me shows that you know what you did was wrong, and that you feel guilty towards me..."

"That's right. Look, your Sister Yue, I've always cared for you a lot, haven't I? I even indulged your little quirks by giving you my favorite little feet. Doesn't that show how much I love you?"

"I...I was wrong..."

"You don't need to apologize to me, Hatsuka. I'll forgive you. Who hasn't made mistakes? Of course... some people's mistakes are unforgivable, like that slut Nagasaki Motoyo!"

"Su Shi...?"

"Listen up, Chuhua. Although I have forgiven you, as my pet, you should know what to do, right? You are my dog, and you can't abandon me, your owner, just because someone else offers you a bone."

"Besides, did Su Shi really give you any bones? No, right... She just talks nonsense, doesn't she? Unlike me, Chu Hua, I will really give you what you want, and don't you want Xiao Xiang to be your only one?"

"Sure, as long as you cooperate obediently and continue to act in front of that idiot Su Shi, I'll trick Xiao Xiang into coming here. Then you can do whatever you want to her, whether it's imprisonment or binding... Don't worry about any consequences, I'll erase all of Xiao Xiang's unpleasant memories."

"No... I can't do that... it's illegal..."

Nanami Natsuki smiled and touched Hatsuka's cheek. "Our Hatsuka is truly kind, so kind that she betrayed her master..."

"Waaah..."

"Chu Hua, let's make a deal. I respect personal opinions the most. I can give you a chance to play the role of the prisoner. Of course, Xiao Xiang will not know who took her away."

“I will lock you and Xiao Xiang in this room. As long as you don’t say anything, this will just be a normal kidnapping case targeting a high school girl.”

"Do you know about the suspension bridge effect? ​​Hmm... judging from your expression, you probably do. What I mean is, I want you to be the hero who helps Xiao Xiang escape."

"Am I... a hero...?" Chu Hua's expression gradually became filled with longing.

"Yes, you can do whatever you want. You can be the hero who saves Xiao Xiang, or you can become an accomplice and imprison Xiao Xiang in your cage. It's all your choice... Of course, you don't need to worry about Xiao Xiang being traumatized afterward. No matter what happens in the process, I will erase all negative memories of this incident."

"Well, that means if Xiao Xiang develops feelings of love for you because of this, they will be perfectly preserved."

"I...I agree to this arrangement..."

"Wait a minute, don't rush me." Nanami Natsuki interrupted Hatsuka. "I haven't stated my conditions yet. Do you think that just because you're my pet, I can risk going to jail to help you without any consequences?"

"Huh? What's the price...?"

Misaka Hatsuka was a little scared. She then remembered that Nanami Natsuki always had to pay a price when making deals with others. The reason she didn't have to pay a price last time wasn't because Nanami was kind, but because Xiaoxiang had helped her.

Is this why she has become more greedy lately, forgetting that every gift has a price?

"No matter what you do, you need to express your love to Xiaoxiang on the spot."

"......ah?"

"Furthermore, if Xiao Xiang ultimately rejects you, you will no longer be able to make any requests related to Xiao Xiang in front of me. At the same time, I will make sure Xiao Xiang remembers your confession and also remembers her rejection."

"Of course, what happened in between will be erased, after all, I don't want to go to jail... Waaah... I'm still young, I can't go to jail!"

"H-How could this be..." Chu Hua ignored Nanami Natsuki's antics and hesitated over what Nanami had said earlier.

"However, if Xiao Xiang agrees to your confession, then it will be a happy ending for everyone. You won't need to pay any other price for this deal. I will help you erase all the unpleasantness in the process."

"Well, what I mean is... regardless of whether your confession is successful or not, the memory of the confession will remain, while the memory of the kidnapping will disappear. Does that make it easier for you to understand?"

"But if I get rejected, won't I lose the chance for you to continue helping me?!"

That's right.

Nanami Natsuki shrugged, and seeing that Hatsuka seemed to be about to refuse, she continued to tempt her: "Hatsuka, think about it... Xiaoxiang is just an ordinary girl. Even though you are very beautiful, it doesn't mean she would fall in love with someone of the same sex, right?"

The suspension bridge effect might be your best chance to succeed. Besides, do you think a wealthy woman like her, already living the life of a pampered heiress, would abandon the Toyokawa family's assets to do something so unacceptable by society?

"me......"

"It's alright, Chu Hua. You don't need to rush to reply to me. Whether it's an hour or a day, as long as you can give me an answer within a week, I will reserve this trading opportunity for you."

"..."

"Alright, alright, the floor's pretty cold, so don't lie there. I'm going to stay here too. Hmm... I think your attic is big enough for someone to sleep in?"

Nanami Natsuki glanced in the direction of the attic and suddenly had an idea. "Hmm... Hatsuka, could you have someone install a door in the attic? That way it would be easier for me to lock Xiaoxiang in your attic."

"Of course, all of this will only take effect after you've already agreed to this deal. Don't even think about drugging me, having someone install doors and locks, and then imprisoning this innocent, pitiful, but very cute girl~"

Chapter 86 Li hope: Nanami Natsuki, I'm going to beat you to death! (4200 words)

The next morning, it was only around 6:30 a.m.

Nanami Natsuki, who had enjoyed the best sleep thanks to Hatsuka's contribution, was awakened by her cell phone ringing. When she opened her drowsy eyes, she didn't know what had happened, only that the call was from Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Hey……"

"Xiao Xiang? Did you sleep well last night?" Nagasaki Motoyo's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible schadenfreude.

"Ugh... I didn't sleep well."

"Is that so? I'm so sorry... I actually left you all alone yesterday. Xiao Xiang, are you alright?"

Su Shi, who had just woken up and started making harassing phone calls, tried hard to suppress the urge to laugh out loud and pretended to be very remorseful.

"I'm fine, Su Shi, because I'm staying at Chu Hua's house now~"

"...Huh?"

"What's wrong, Su Shi?" Nanami Natsuki deliberately sounded puzzled. "Why do you seem a little disappointed, Su Shi?"

"What are you saying, Xiao Xiang? How could I possibly be such a malicious person..."

"Of course I know Su Shi isn't a bad person. She called early this morning to check on me, and I was really touched."

"Um... if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"..."

It's really baffling.

After hanging up the phone, Nanami Natsuki rubbed her twin tails, looking annoyed. She felt like she had been tricked by that bastard, Suze.

After all, knowing that Su Shi had been harboring ill intentions all along, the other party's actions after arriving yesterday were very likely just a prank.

Damn it... she actually got scammed?! And by that damned sow, Lei?!

A feeling of frustration welled up inside her, causing Nanami Natsuki to call out towards the area below the attic, "Hatsuka? Hatsuka! Hurry up and help me get dressed!!!"

…………

At Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy, groups of girls in school uniforms walked together, with Shiina Tatsuki following behind them, looking exhausted.

She didn't sleep well last night. After the electronic keyboard was delivered to her home, she had to explain the situation to her family, especially her sister, while also installing and learning it as soon as possible.

However, the learning process is tedious, especially when it's almost like starting from scratch.

What bothered Lixi the most was that she was always somewhat absent-minded when she was learning the electronic keyboard, and what she was thinking about was not anything else, but all the things that Nanami Natsuki had said to her and the things she had done in the past.

"What do you mean, 'Only you understand me best'... That's ridiculous."

The more Shiina Ritsuki desperately needed to communicate with others, the angrier she became at Nanami Natsuki's words. That girl had messed up her life, making her afraid to communicate with others, and her old friends were looking at her with disdain.

Why didn't she think about these issues before?

Perhaps it was because he was immersed in extreme excitement after acquiring his desired talent at that time?

The feeling of being able to do everything with ease, the strong positive feedback made Lixi no longer care about what she was gradually losing, and only focus her attention on what she had gained.

Moreover... no matter what, Nanami Natsuki did give her a sense of security as an "accomplice" at that time, and she could feel that she was not alone.

She can blame any bad thing on Nanami; she won't feel much guilt. Even if everyone in Crychic gets together, she can still keep up the act.

But now she's all alone...

She was useless; her usefulness had been exhausted, so she was simply discarded. Now... Nanami Natsuki's actions seem no different from Shoko's.

Perhaps in the eyes of those who are more capable than her, she is just someone who comes to help her when she is interested, and can be easily abandoned when she is no longer in the mood.

The only thing Shiina Ritsuki can believe in now—her musical talent—doesn't even belong to her.

What a despairing truth...

She lost herself in her deal with Nanami Natsuki. When she was creating, was she Shiina Tatsuki or a stand-in for Shoko?

"Lixi, good morning."

"Ah...ah, it's Hailing."

Hachiman Kairin frowned. "Tachiki, you look so tired. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
