"I'll hold the umbrella."
Tsuba Koyasu opened the umbrella, shielding the two of them.
"Put down, I'm fine now."
Hayasaka Ai covered her face with one hand, wishing she could teleport away from this place.
Failure.
A capital F for failure.
The plan was clearly foolproof, so why did it suddenly go off track?
"Kaguya-san, you go back first." Amamiya Natsuki didn't forget to turn and look at Kaguya, "I'll take Hayasaka-san to the infirmary."
Shinomiya Kaguya quietly clenched her pink fists, her cheeks involuntarily puffing out.
How could she possibly go back like this!
She should have been leaving campus with him under the sa umbrella, but now it had beco a trio, with her as a transparent person. She absolutely wouldn't allow that!
"I'll go with you." Shinomiya Kaguya took a deep breath, took out a folding umbrella from her backpack, and said nonchalantly, "...It's late, and the doctor in the infirmary might not be there. I might be able to help."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "Then let's go together."
...
The four of them passed through the chilly campus in the rain and soon arrived at the infirmary.
A female doctor in a white coat sat behind the desk, on duty.
"What happened?"
The female doctor dutifully stood up.
"Doctor, this Hayasaka-san accidentally sprained her ankle while going downstairs..."
Tsuba Koyasu communicated and negotiated from the side.
Hearing this, the female doctor pointed to a bed: "Carry her over."
"Mhm."
Amamiya Natsuki carried Hayasaka Ai to a bed and put her down.
Just as he was about to straighten up, he was suddenly grabbed by the Spy Maid's hand on the collar of his shirt.
"Natsuki-kun, sothing's wrong with you." Hayasaka Ai lowered her voice, her expression serious, "We're clearly not that close, so why do you insist on carrying to the infirmary?"
She had only sprained her ankle, not broken her leg, so there was no need for a princess carry at all.
Besides, he wasn't usually seen as soone eager to help others; why was he so proactive today?
She wasn't the Sheltered Ojou-sama or Marin; she was just an ordinary classmate with whom he hadn't exchanged many words. There was no need to be so actively helpful.
All in all, there was sothing very wrong with this man!
When Amamiya Natsuki chose to carry Hayasaka Ai, he had already anticipated this question. At this mont, he calmly whispered:
"Hayasaka-san, do you really want to hear what I have to say?"
"Say it."
"It's too sudden to say it now. I'm afraid Hayasaka-san won't agree."
"I won't agree?"
Hayasaka Ai blinked, a little confused.
What did this guy want to say?
Was there so difficulty he wanted to ask her to help with, and he was afraid she would refuse?
Strange, they hadn't spoken much at school. Even if he wanted help, he should ask the Sheltered Ojou-sama and them.
Hayasaka Ai bit her thumb, using a pride tactic: "...Just say it directly. Boys shouldn't beat around the bush; it's annoying."
"Then I'll say it." Amamiya Natsuki looked into the Spy Maid's eyes, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "I... fell in love with Hayasaka-san at first sight."
"Eh?"
Hayasaka Ai's eyes widened, her pink lips slightly parted, dumbfounded.
Even she took a full two seconds to react.
"You, what did you say?"
Love at first sight?
This guy was actually confessing to her?
It must be fake!
Impossible!
Completely unexpected!
"Hayasaka-san didn't hear clearly? Then I'll say it again." Amamiya Natsuki raised his voice, "I said I fell in love with..."
Hayasaka Ai quickly reached out and covered Amamiya Natsuki's mouth, nervously looking at Shinomiya Kaguya, who was talking to the female doctor not far away.
It was already bad enough that she had intercepted the Sheltered Ojou-sama today. If the Sheltered Ojou-sama heard the confession, her life would be completely ssed up!
Amamiya Natsuki held Hayasaka's wrist: "Hayasaka-san, please accept my confession."
"Who would accept you?!" Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but retort, "I'm sorry, I refuse. A boy who confesses right away when we haven't even said a few words to each other, no matter how you look at it, is too frivolous."
"Besides, so-called love at first sight is nothing more than lust at first sight."
Hayasaka Ai crossed her arms over her chest, her emotions unusually fluctuating.
Love at first sight?
No matter how she thought about it, it sounded like words to trick an ignorant girl.
But why would he say that?
Did he discover her true identity, and was he trying to bully her out of mischief?
Impossible.
Even the Sheltered Ojou-sama hadn't discovered her disguise, let alone a re Natsuki.
Hayasaka Ai couldn't co up with a reasonable explanation.
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, causing the Spy Maid's heart to subtly quicken.
Could it be... a real confession?
Amamiya Natsuki said solemnly:
"I've spoken my mind and will never give up easily. Please exchange contact information with ."
"I refuse..."
Halfway through her sentence, Hayasaka Ai caught sight of Shinomiya Kaguya walking over and quickly changed her words, lowering her voice, "I understand, you go out first!"
No matter what, her Young Lady couldn't hear their conversation!
"Alright."
Amamiya Natsuki smiled faintly and stood up, walking out of the infirmary.
Even honest people have their limits; being deceived by his junior sister every day, of course, he had to get his revenge.
Through discreet observation, Amamiya Natsuki discovered that whenever Shinomiya Kaguya appeared, Hanamori, who was disguised as a junior sister, never showed up.
Clearly, this Spy Maid was deliberately keeping her distance.
Why keep her distance?
A simple guess revealed the answer: she was obviously afraid of being discovered by Kaguya.
If that's the case… Hayasaka-san, you wouldn't want to be discovered by Kaguya either, would you?
The rest was simple.
He hadn't actually sprained his ankle, so the doctor found nothing during the examination. Coupled with Hayasaka Ai saying it didn't hurt much anymore and she could walk on her own, the doctor gave them a bottle of topical dicine and waved Amamiya Natsuki and the others away.
"Tsuba-senpai, I've taken up so much of your ti and caused you trouble."
Hayasaka Ai thanked her politely.
"You're welco." Tsuba Koyasu pushed her bangs up, revealing a bright and gentle smile. "It's good that you're okay. We're all classmates; anyone would help."
"Exactly." Amamiya Natsuki said from the side, "And ."
I don't need your help!
Hayasaka Ai glared at him in annoyance.
"The rain has stopped."
Amamiya Natsuki looked up at the clean sky after the rain.
"Ah…" Shinomiya Kaguya paused, biting her lower lip with a hint of resentnt. "The rain really has stopped."
Too much, too much, too much, too much!
The rain had already stopped, so there was no chance of walking together under an umbrella in the rain now!
The four walked together to the school gate, then parted ways.
"Hayasaka…"
Shinomiya Kaguya's pink cheeks quickly puffed up. She turned to the gyaru girl, pouting, "I need an explanation. The heroine should clearly be . The plan wasn't supposed to be like this."
"Accidents happen every second in the world. Even I can't control everything." Hayasaka Ai clasped her hands in front of her, having already thought of a counterasure. "But it's okay. Not only can I make Young Lady and Natsuki-kun share an umbrella, but I can also make Natsuki-kun actively invite you on a date."
Shinomiya Kaguya's heart fluttered, and she subconsciously asked:
"What thod?"
"It's simple…" Hayasaka Ai started walking towards the car. "We'll talk about it when we get back."
"Tell now." Shinomiya Kaguya quickly followed, "Cutting a conversation short is super annoying."
"…"
