"Is there a chance of failure?"
Sayu exhaled softly, quickly calming down.
According to their previous plan, Amamiya Natsuki would use Copy-Paste to transfer Spirit Channeling to her, so she could return to Hokkaido to summon her friend.
But the temporary skill from Copy-Paste could only be used once. What if the summoning failed?
"Don't worry."
Under the table, Amamiya Natsuki gently squeezed the little hand of his adopted daughter. "Sayu, do you have anything of Tsuba's on you?"
"Yes." Sayu nodded quickly, opened her backpack, and took out a black and white dog charm. "This was a birthday gift from Tsuba-chan."
Amamiya Natsuki took the dog charm and handed it to the passerby player sitting opposite him: "Miss Nakajima, please try Spirit Channeling."
Miss Nakajima hesitated: "Um… right here?"
Even though ordinary people couldn't see it, it was still a public place. If sothing happened, it might cause trouble.
"Let's drink coffee first." Amamiya Natsuki pondered for a mont. "After that, we'll go to a KTV."
Sayu's guilt towards her friend was too deep. If the summoning succeeded and she saw her friend, she definitely wouldn't be able to control her emotions.
Sayu bit her lip, whispering:
"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine."
You're practically bending the spoon, and you say you're fine? Who would believe that!
"It's decided then." Amamiya Natsuki made the final decision. "There's no need to rush."
"Oh…"
After finishing their coffee.
The three went to the nearest KTV and quickly booked a private room.
Upon entering the room, Sayu could no longer hold back, looking at Miss Nakajima with expectant eyes.
"I'll start the summoning imdiately."
Miss Nakajima didn't waste words. She took the dog charm Sayu handed her and activated the skill.
A faint, dim glow quickly appeared on the dog charm, and then… there was nothing else.
"I'm sorry." Miss Nakajima opened her eyes, apologetically. "The summoning failed."
Sayu bit her lower lip, a visible look of disappointnt on her face.
Amamiya Natsuki patted Sayu's little head, calmly saying:
"If it doesn't work once, try a few more tis. With probabilities, if you try enough tis, you'll eventually succeed."
"Um, the Spirit Channeling skill has a ten-minute cooldown." Miss Nakajima coughed twice, apologetically. "And the sa personal item can only be used for summoning once."
In other words, the dog charm had already been used once and couldn't be used again.
"Dad, what should we do?"
Hearing this, Sayu couldn't help but look up, gazing piteously at Amamiya Natsuki, her eyes pleading.
Amamiya Natsuki pondered for two seconds, then quickly said:
"Miss Nakajima, are you free today to co with us to Hokkaido?"
"Eh?" Miss Nakajima was startled, then quickly replied, "No problem, I'm free both days this weekend."
The success rate for summoning didn't seem very high, and a regular Copy-Paste wouldn't be a guarantee.
Given that, the best approach was naturally to bring Miss Nakajima along to Hokkaido. As for probabilities, it was like getting pregnant—with enough tries, one was bound to succeed.
Sayu looked over gratefully: "Miss Nakajima, aren't you here on leave? Will it affect your work?"
"Compared to Amamiya-san's matter, work isn't important." Miss Nakajima sighed softly, rubbing the deep dark circles under her eyes—a common mark of players. "The only reason I'm still working is because I don't want to stay at ho all day with those evil spirits."
Sayu pursed her pink lips, saying nothing more.
As a sixteen-year-old girl, before the law changed, she would have been able to marry and have children by now. She clearly understood that Miss Nakajima wasn't being genuinely kind-hearted, sacrificing her rest ti to run around with a stranger; it was simply out of respect for Amamiya Natsuki.
At this thought, Sayu couldn't help but lean close to Amamiya Natsuki's ear, whispering:
"Dad, after we see Tsuba-chan, you can make do anything, okay?"
Amamiya Natsuki felt his ear warm up, instinctively tensing his body, and looked over speechlessly: "I don't want you to do anything. It would make it seem like I'm taking advantage."
"Isn't it worse not to repay kindness?" Sayu clenched her fists, secretly sticking out her pink tongue. "Besides, as a daughter, serving Dad is only natural, right?"
What the heck is 'only natural'? Ghost fathers who force their daughters to serve them should all go to the eighteenth level of hell!
Amamiya Natsuki took a deep breath, pushing distracting thoughts out of his mind, and said:
"Did you take the Shinkansen yesterday?"
"Mm." Sayu nodded. "It took almost a whole day to get to Tokyo."
"That's a bit slow." Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone. "I'll check the nearest flights… There's one taking off in exactly an hour. We'll fly directly."
Sayu and Miss Nakajima had no objections.
After booking the tickets, Amamiya Natsuki sent a ssage to the silly rich young lady, explaining the current situation.
Kaguya didn't reply; she was clearly already asleep.
Buzz buzz.
His phone vibrated softly. It was Marin who sent a ssage.
"Natsuki, how are things going?"
"Still busy…"
Amamiya Natsuki explained the situation.
"Eh, going to Hokkaido?" Marin's eyes lit up. "I want to go too!"
As a social butterfly, this Marin rarely stayed ho on her days off, preferring to go out and about.
Amamiya Natsuki said faintly:
"We're planning to fly. Are you sure you want to go?"
"F-fly?"
"That's right. Hokkaido is too far. Flying is best."
When they went to Kagoshima to see his old father, this Marin had stubbornly refused to fly because she had watched a plane crash horror movie as a child and developed a fear of planes ever since.
She'll probably back out now…
Marin: "Give the address, I'll co find you."
Amamiya Natsuki was surprised: "You're not afraid of flying anymore?"
"Of course I'm scared." Marin sent a bright smiling face. "But I want to go out and have fun with Natsuki even more."
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze softened: "Then I'll book another ticket."
Marin continued: "Besides, one of my dreams is to visit Hokkaido. The snow scenery is super beautiful, but it's too far, and I didn't dare to go alone. Now I finally have a chance to go."
Damn it, give back the move right now!
Amamiya Natsuki booked another plane ticket, then put away his phone and said:
"Let's go, to the airport."
The journey was silent.
The three took a car to the airport and began waiting for their flight.
After a short wait, a blonde bombshell wearing a black choker happily waved and jogged over, her smile seemingly brighter than the sun: "Natsuki, I'm here!"
It was none other than the succubus girl, Kitagawa Marin.
"Sayu-chan, good morning." Marin put her right hand on her hip, greeting her with a bright smile.
They had t yesterday at the KTV and knew each other's nas, though they weren't particularly familiar. Sayu softly said: "Marin-chan, good morning."
