"The charge is complete."
Amamiya Natsuki narrowed his eyes and looked at the Lucky Coin. "After school this afternoon, you can transform into a Carp."
"Yay, ga gacha, daily Blind Box!" Kitagawa Marin clenched her fists and raised them happily over her head. "It would be even better if I could draw a new skill."
Amamiya Natsuki looked over: "Don't move around, or you'll cry if you kick your toe again."
"I won't move."
Kitagawa Marin quickly sat up straight on the sofa.
Of course, staying quiet and still can only reduce the frequency of bad luck, not completely prevent it. When a person is truly unlucky, they can even choke on their own saliva.
"And the Witch's Crystal Ball," Shinomiya Kaguya softly reminded from the side. "Don't forget about it."
Hearing about the Crystal Ball, Fujiwara Chika imdiately leaned closer, smiling as she extended a finger and asked:
"Natsuki-kun, what have you decided?"
"What?"
"I've already spoken with Miss Kaoru, and she can co over to copy skills anyti. Natsuki, if you disguise yourself as a girl, you should be able to use the Witch's Crystal Ball, right?"
The Crystal Ball is fake; your real goal is just to see others cross-dress!
"Well said." Amamiya Natsuki leaned his arms on the office desk and looked at Chika, "Co to my house tonight for a detailed discussion."
Fujiwara Chika imdiately saw through Amamiya Natsuki's sinister intentions, raised her chin, and snorted:
"I'm busy today."
"Then co tomorrow night."
"I'm busy tomorrow too."
"..."
The Student Council's morning duties weren't extensive. After they were easily handled, Tsuba was the first to erge from her lazy state. After Marin finished her unlucky period, the group left the Student Council together.
"There's still half an hour until class starts."
Amamiya Natsuki checked his phone and, instead of going directly to the classroom, turned and headed downstairs—it was necessary to unlock so new scenes for Midnight Theater.
The unlocking thod is actually very simple.
Carry the pumpkin lantern and explore any scene. Once the exploration progress exceeds 80%, it can be unlocked and recorded.
100% exploration is difficult, but 80% is much simpler. Just walking around the school generally ets the requirent.
The sky was overcast.
The air was humid.
It was still the rainy season, and it could rain at any mont.
Amamiya Natsuki walked alone through the school, unlocking new scenes. When he passed behind the school building, he suddenly stopped. A spicy girl with a golden side ponytail and her school uniform tied around her waist ca into view.
"Hayasaka."
Amamiya Natsuki smiled and walked directly over.
"Ah… Hello, President. Goodbye, President."
Seeing Amamiya Natsuki approach, the spicy Hayasaka greeted him and prepared to slip away.
Slap.
Amamiya Natsuki reached out and propped his hand against the wall, blocking Hayasaka Ai's path.
"What's the rush?"
Seeing that she couldn't leave, Hayasaka Ai propped her hands behind her, leaning against the wall, and casually complained:
"President, that sounds like a typical villain's line."
Amamiya Natsuki sighed:
"Since you've discovered my true colors, I can't let you leave even more."
Hayasaka Ai's rosy lips parted slightly, and her eyes showed disdain: "After a weekend apart, President's skin has gotten thicker again."
"Thank you for the complint." Amamiya Natsuki was not ashad in the least. "Shalessness is an essential skill in the adult world. People with thin skin will have a very hard ti."
Hayasaka Ai: "..."
Although she wanted to refute, she had to admit that there was nothing wrong with that statent.
"What are you doing here alone?"
Amamiya Natsuki asked.
"It's our class's turn to be responsible for cleaning this area today." Hayasaka Ai looked up, "I was just picking up trash."
"Where's the trash?"
"Threw it away."
"Just you?"
"There's another student on duty."
"Where is he?"
"He left. The classroom air is stuffy, so I stayed to breathe so fresh air."
"..."
The first half of the sentence was true; Hayasaka Ai did co to clean with soone else. The second half was a lie.
Breathing fresh air was false; the truth was that she had received a ssage from the Sheltered Young Lady, which delayed her departure.
"Since you say so..." Amamiya Natsuki looked down and pointed to sothing by Hayasaka Ai's feet, "Is that a cigarette butt?"
"Hmm…" Hayasaka Ai looked down and indeed saw a cigarette butt by her feet. "Sorry, I forgot to pick it up."
"There's also another possibility…" Amamiya Natsuki lowered his voice, "Perhaps you didn't forget to pick it up, but rather you were secretly smoking?"
Amamiya Natsuki's expression turned serious, and he said: "School rules clearly state that students are prohibited from smoking. Hayasaka-san, please cooperate with my inspection."
"I refuse." Hayasaka Ai raised her right hand, her eyes narrowed, and said, "I demand that the President compensate for emotional distress and publicly apologize to clear my na… Besides, isn't smoking within the jurisdiction of the Disciplinary Committee?"
Amamiya Natsuki said earnestly:
"As the Student Council President, I must manage what the Disciplinary Committee manages, and I must manage even more what the Disciplinary Committee cannot manage."
"Tch." Hayasaka Ai pouted, "How will the President inspect?"
"It's simple. I just need to check if you sll like smoke."
As Amamiya Natsuki spoke, he leaned closer to the spicy Hayasaka. The refreshing citrus scent of the girl quickly filled his nostrils.
Their distance rapidly closed, soon reaching a point where they could feel each other's breath.
Their eyes t.
The spicy Hayasaka clearly understood what Amamiya Natsuki intended to do.
(Damn it!)
(Saying he's checking for smoke sll, it's all just an excuse! He clearly wants to kiss , right?)
(This is school, not dwarves's Valley. How could I let you bully here!)
Slap.
Hayasaka Ai quickly reached out and covered Amamiya Natsuki's mouth, glaring at him in annoyance: "Pervert Natsuki, give it a rest!"
"That's better." Amamiya Natsuki released the spicy Hayasaka and said unhurriedly, "Next ti, don't speak with a mask on. The consequences are severe."
"Tch."
Hayasaka Ai snorted lightly, completely unafraid.
At worst, she'd get a kiss. It wasn't like she hadn't been kissed before.
"Class is about to start." Amamiya Natsuki stroked the girl's soft, silky hair. "Let's go back to the classroom."
Watching Amamiya Natsuki turn and leave, Hayasaka Ai pursed her rosy lips, raised her right hand, and gently touched the spot Amamiya Natsuki had just touched. It seed there was still residual warmth.
Miss, I'm sorry, I'm almost unable to endure it...
The day passed quickly.
In a flash, it was dismissal ti.
Amamiya Natsuki first went to the Tabletop Ga Club, called Miko and Yurikawa, played a couple of Tabletop gas as usual, and then headed to the Student Council office.
The Student Council had quite a few daily chores, and Fujiwara Chika was a mascot. Fortunately, the Sheltered Young Lady and Kashiwagi were quite capable, handling most matters in an orderly fashion.
"Where's Marin-chan? Why hasn't she co?"
Fujiwara Chika asked curiously.
"She went to wait for soone at the school gate." Amamiya Natsuki said casually from behind the office desk, "Juju and Komi are coming over… mainly Juju, I heard she wants to ask Marin for help with ga gacha."
Fujiwara Chika sat on the sofa and started eating snacks: "I didn't expect Juju to be a ga enthusiast."
As a cosplay enthusiast, it would be strange if Juju didn't like playing gas!
"President, don't just talk." Shinomiya Kaguya handed over a docunt, "Finish your work quickly."
"Yes, Vice President."
"..."
A mont later.
A knocking sound echoed.
Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head and looked: "Co in."
The door was pushed open, and Kitagawa Marin was the first to enter, followed by two girls, none other than Juju and Komi.
"Juju-chan, good afternoon~"
Fujiwara Chika waved happily.
"Good afternoon."
Juju-sama nodded lightly, as cool as ever.
"Juju, Komi, co and sit. The shoes are ready for you, right by the door." Shinomiya Kaguya rose to greet them, displaying the elegant deanor of a hostess receiving guests. "I'll make you so tea first."
Juju looked at the Sheltered Young Lady, and for so reason, a thought suddenly popped into her mind:
This is the legendary aura of the main wife…
"Coin, coin." Kitagawa Marin extended her right hand, smiling brightly, "I can't wait to draw cards."
"Here."
Amamiya Natsuki took out the Lucky Coin and handed it to the Succubus Girl.
"Heh ya~"
Kitagawa Marin took the coin and tossed it into the air.
Without any surprise, the coin landed heads up.
"Hmph hmph, from now on, please call Carp Girl." Kitagawa Marin raised her chin, revealing a long, slender, snowy white neck, and humd proudly, "Who wants ga gacha? Free proxy draws are starting."
Blind Box gas couldn't be drawn by proxy, but regular mobile gas were fine. In her Carp-blessed state, ten consecutive draws would definitely yield several five-star characters, making it easy to achieve max constellations.
"I want a proxy draw."
Juju-sama handed over her phone, a hint of anticipation on her small face.
", , , and too." Fujiwara Chika joined the excitent, "What about Shoko?"
The black long-haired girl quickly shook her head, indicating she didn't need it.
"Eh, what a pity, I wanted to team up." Fujiwara Chika asked curiously, "What does Shoko usually do at ho? She can't possibly just study all the ti, can she?"
Komi raised her notebook, blocking her nose, revealing only her eyes, her ear tips subtly flushing red:
"Watching TV, playing on my phone, eating snacks, sleeping."
"…"
Don't just blurt out the truth! You should pay attention to your beautiful girl image!
"Oh, by the way, Natsuki-kun has learned a new skill: planting mushrooms." Fujiwara Chika's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Juju, Shoko, why don't you two try it too?"
Juju leaned back, muttering softly:
"I refuse. The way you're looking at is like I'm an interesting toy."
"Illusion, it's all an illusion." Fujiwara Chika's expression beca serious. "We all tried it this morning. Juju, you should experience it too."
"That's right." Kitagawa Marin gave a thumbs-up from the side. "I guarantee it's super fun."
"…"
Under the strong recomndation of Marin and Chika, Juju finally hesitated and agreed.
Komi, needless to say, didn't know how to refuse at all.
"Natsuki-kun, please."
Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands together, smiling as she looked over.
"…Your expression, wanting to prank soone, is too obvious."
Amamiya Natsuki twitched the corner of his mouth and planted mushrooms on Juju and Komi.
"Let see what kind of mushroom it is." Fujiwara Chika happily leaned forward.
Shinomiya Kaguya's ears twitched slightly at her words, and she couldn't help but look over.
"Hmm… Juju has the Sloth mushroom, and Shoko has the Arrogance mushroom."
Damn it!
Shinomiya Kaguya's breathing hitched slightly, and she silently bit her silver teeth.
Why, out of so many girls, was she the only one who got the lust mushroom?!
"It feels… like nothing."
Juju touched the top of her head, her attention quickly falling to her phone. Seeing five gold items from a ten-pull, she was imdiately satisfied.
Next, Kitagawa Marin bought another daily Blind Box.
In the Carp state, the quality of items in the Blind Box clearly improved, but unfortunately, it wasn't a skill, but a pair of sneakers that could increase jumping ability… Basketball enthusiasts would probably love them.
"And the Witch's Crystal Ball."
Amamiya Natsuki took out the crystal ball and placed it on the table. "Marin, co and try it."
If he couldn't obtain the Witch's Legacy even in the Carp state, he could just discard the crystal ball as junk in the future.
"Coming."
Kitagawa Marin walked to the table, took a deep breath, and placed her hand on the crystal ball.
The next mont.
Gray mist surged within the crystal ball, swirling like ethereal clouds. This strange phenonon quickly captured everyone's attention.
"The crystal ball has never shown this kind of change before." Fujiwara Chika whispered, "Marin-chan, did she succeed?"
"Success would be best, of course." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Marin, who had her eyes closed. "But we can't rule out the possibility of failure, especially avoiding jinxing it."
"I didn't."
Fujiwara Chika retorted softly, then sat on the sofa, drank coffee, and said no more.
A short while later, Kitagawa Marin slowly opened her eyes, pressing her right hand to her forehead, and murmured:
"So strange knowledge has appeared in my mind…"
Fujiwara Chika asked curiously:
"Is it a skill?"
"It's not a skill." Kitagawa Marin shook her head. "It's a potion recipe… called Night Potion. After drinking it, one can temporarily enhance night vision."
Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but recall the Witch Potion from the two-out-of-five choice. Undoubtedly, various potions should be the Witch's painstaking creation, and it was quite normal for a potion recipe to be part of the legacy.
"Knowing the potion recipe, are you able to create the corresponding potion?"
Amamiya Natsuki asked seriously.
"I should be able to, right?" Kitagawa Marin was slightly uncertain. "The raw materials needed for the recipe, as well as the process and precautions for making it, are all in my mind. If I follow the steps, I should be able to produce the potion."
Listening to their conversation, the girls in the Student Council quickly realized its preciousness.
"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifeti." Koyasu Tsuba's eyes lit up. "If we can concoct potions according to the recipe, it's much more valuable than a skill."
Fujiwara Chika nodded in agreent:
"Most dungeon environnts are gloomy and dark. If there's a potion that enhances night vision, everyone can feel much safer."
"Not only that." Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her left arm over her chest and propped her chin with her right hand, her capitalist mindset quickly coming online. "If the potion can indeed be produced and proven effective, we can completely adopt an assembly line approach for large-scale mass production and sales…"
Copy and Paste was rely reselling, Amamiya Natsuki was a middleman, earning a price difference, but if they could produce Witch Potion, the aning would be entirely different.
What is the truly terrifying aspect of capital?
Of course, it's monopoly!
