"Kayako, it really is you, isn't it?"
Looking at Tsuba's white dress and her disheveled, underworld-style hair, Natsuki finally rembered an old movie from decades ago, one that most children nowadays probably haven't seen.
He was just in junior high then.
One afternoon during the first year of junior high sumr vacation, Miko found a horror movie DVD at ho and called him over to watch it together.
After watching it, both he and Miko were left with a deep psychological shadow.
The plot... wasn't important, but in short, it was not recomnded to watch alone.
He never expected that after so long, he would beco the male protagonist of Ju-on in a hotel, gaining a Kayako wife and a vengeful spirit daughter.
Fortunately, his own mory wasn't blocked, otherwise, who wouldn't panic!
Natsuki looked down at Tsuba, who was still lying on the ground, and collected his thoughts, saying:
"Tsuba-senpai, get up first."
"Tsuba... Tsuba-senpai?"
Tsuba's gaze was sowhat confused, her pink hair trembling slightly, not daring to get up.
From Tsuba's perspective, she wasn't so 'Kayako', but an ordinary housewife. Natsuki and her daughter in front of her were actually vengeful spirits, and she could only interact with them cautiously, fearing that she might accidentally anger them and then be brutally killed.
Her 'vengeful spirit' husband, who worked sowhere outside, returned ho and brought the vengeful spirit daughter, who had been wandering on the first floor, up to the second floor. This abnormal behavior made Tsuba extrely panicked, so she hid in the wardrobe.
Unfortunately, she was still easily found by Natsuki.
Not only that.
Natsuki also called her 'Tsuba'. The mories in Tsuba's mind told her that she wasn't so Tsuba, but for so reason, it sounded extraordinarily familiar.
Just as Tsuba was lost in thought, she suddenly saw her 'vengeful spirit husband' crouch down.
Tsuba's body trembled slightly. She thought she had been dazed for too long and hadn't responded in ti, angering Natsuki, who was preparing to teach her a lesson. She could only hurriedly lower her head, letting her hair cover her face.
In her false mories, once the vengeful spirit husband got angry, sothing very terrifying would happen.
However, the anticipated pain did not appear.
Natsuki gently used his hands to pick up Tsuba in a princess carry, and said softly:
"Let's go downstairs first. It's too dark in the room. We'll talk properly downstairs."
"Eh?"
Tsuba opened her eyes in confusion, secretly peeking at Natsuki through the gaps in her hair.
Today's vengeful spirit husband seems extraordinarily gentle?
"Let's go downstairs."
Natsuki carried Tsuba and turned to leave the room.
The vengeful spirit daughter ran ahead, using both hands and feet, quickly rushing downstairs.
They arrived in the living room.
Natsuki placed Tsuba on the sofa and then said:
"I don't know why the power is out today, but it's perfect for a candlelight dinner."
"Candle... candlelight dinner?"
A term that was both strange and yet familiar entered her ears. Tsuba involuntarily and quietly looked up.
When he carried Tsuba downstairs, Natsuki had already figured out what to do—
He wasn't afraid at all now. The only person providing 'fear' energy to the nightmare was Tsuba. He only needed to make Tsuba no longer afraid, and the nightmare would naturally disappear.
So, how to make Tsuba no longer afraid?
Knocking her out was worth a try, but it was hard to control the force, and in a nightmare, it was hard to say if she would even faint.
The pasting skill wouldn't work either; Tsuba's temporary skill slot was already occupied by the Sheep Transformation Technique.
Sin Mushroom could be attempted. After detonating the mushroom, the chances of breaking free from the nightmare seed high, but it would take ti.
Therefore.
Now there was only one way left...
That was to capture Tsuba's heart.
So what if she's Kayako?
As long as she's cute, even a vengeful spirit is fine!
On this point, the nightmare was quite considerate. Although false mories were implanted, it didn't alter the body or appearance. Capturing Kayako's heart now ca with absolutely no psychological burden.
Natsuki picked up his briefcase and pretended to pull out a bunch of candles from it—they were actually candles obtained from a Blind Box in the ga, with only ordinary lighting functions. Their advantages were bright, pollution-free light, and long-lasting durability.
He lit several candles at once. As the bright candlelight flickered and burned, the originally eerie and dim house suddenly brightened up.
Humans are creatures naturally drawn to light.
The presence of light can dispel a great deal of fear.
Of course, to capture Kayako's heart, just lighting candles was far from enough.
Natsuki finished lighting the candles, picked up his briefcase, and turned to walk to Tsuba.
The bright candlelight made Tsuba feel a little more at ease, but upon seeing Natsuki approaching, she instinctively recoiled, still under the influence of her false mories.
"Tsuba-senpai, this is today's gift."
Natsuki spoke gently as he reached into his briefcase and pulled out a red rose.
The vibrant red stood out strikingly, completely out of place in the monotonous house.
"Eh?"
Looking at the rose in her vengeful spirit husband's hand, Tsuba's eyes widened in disbelief.
"For you."
Natsuki handed the rose to Tsuba.
"Th-thank you..."
Tsuba instinctively took it, whispering her thanks.
Girls all like flowers; this is a biological instinct and will not be distorted by false mories. When giving gifts, giving flowers is definitely not wrong.
Of course, the premise is that the girl likes you.
If she doesn't like you, the flowers you give will only end up in the trash can.
This was the case now.
Even if Natsuki was a 'vengeful spirit', he was still Tsuba's current husband, so Tsuba naturally wouldn't refuse. Looking at the flower in her hand, a small surge of surprise and disbelief involuntarily arose in her heart.
If there were a favorability display, Tsuba's favorability would surely have increased significantly at this mont.
Natsuki struck while the iron was hot, and sat down beside Tsuba.
Tsuba's body trembled slightly, but she didn't panic and run away. The gentle approach was already showing initial results.
"It's very unsafe for your hair to block your eyes when going downstairs." Natsuki took out a comb from his briefcase and handed it to Tsuba, saying gently, "Tsuba, should I help you tie up your hair?"
The miscellaneous items usually obtained from Blind Box openings now ca in handy.
Tsuba instinctively dodged, her voice nervous:
"I, I can do it myself..."
"You've worked hard at ho alone." Natsuki pressed on Tsuba's shoulder and said gently, "Let do it."
Seeing that Natsuki only touched her gently and did not use violence to harm her, Kayako gradually quieted down, sitting still obediently, letting Natsuki help her comb her hair.
A mont later.
The familiar Tsuba, with her ponytail and slanted bangs, was back.
Aside from her slightly pale complexion and her eyes occasionally darting away in panic, there wasn't a single flaw to be found.
As one of the three great beauties of the academy, Tsuba's beauty was naturally not low. With her delicate nose, cherry lips, graceful brows, and beautiful eyes, she now exuded an added air of pitiful fragility.
Such a beautiful Kayako is absolutely fine!
"How does the hairstyle look?"
Natsuki nodded in satisfaction, took out a mirror, and held it in front of Tsuba.
Tsuba nervously looked into the small mirror. Seeing herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, feeling that the person in the mirror was extraordinarily familiar.
How strange... she had never had this kind of hairstyle...
"Does it feel very familiar?" Natsuki said from beside her, "This is the hairstyle Tsuba-senpai had in high school."
"Eh?" Tsuba was startled, her tone confused, "High school hairstyle?"
Natsuki said with righteous indignation:
"That's right, it was exactly like this. It's just that it's been so long that Tsuba has forgotten, otherwise, Tsuba, you tell , what was your high school hairstyle?"
"Hmm..."
Tsuba parted her lips, speechless.
The implanted false mories lacked detail, so she naturally wouldn't rember what her high school hairstyle was.
Natsuki spoke while holding Tsuba's soft hand, and said gently:
"Actually, I fell in love with Tsuba-senpai at first sight back then."
"Eh eh?" Tsuba's eyes widened, and she looked over blankly, "At... at first sight?"
Natsuki continued to deceive the innocent girl's feelings:
"It was a sumr morning. I was at the school gate and saw Tsuba-senpai, full of spirit, with picturesque features and her skirt fluttering. I fell in love with Tsuba-senpai at first sight then..."
"Hmm..." A faint blush rose on Tsuba's pretty face, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry... I don't rember..."
"I'll rember it. The Tsuba at that ti will forever exist in the depths of my mory."
Natsuki spoke as he leaned closer.
Tsuba subconsciously dodged backward, but she didn't panic and run away.
"I like you, Senpai."
Natsuki gently kissed Tsuba's forehead.
After kissing her forehead, he kissed her cheek again.
Seeing that Natsuki wasn't stopping, Tsuba nervously closed her eyes, leaving only her slender, slightly curled, beautiful eyelashes trembling anxiously.
Natsuki finally touched Tsuba's lips lightly, then stopped while he was ahead, and said softly:
"Being able to marry Senpai is the luckiest thing in my life. I was ignorant before and did many things that disappointed Senpai. I'm very sorry, please forgive ."
Tsuba opened her eyes and stared blankly, at a loss for words:
"You… you don't have to say…"
Natsuki continued:
"From today onwards, I only have one life goal left, and that is to make Senpai happy."
Tsuba: "…"
As a scumbag who bravely went forward to create a harem, but has not been chopped with a hatchet until now, and has successfully obtained Marin, Hayasaka, and Juju as three official girlfriends, Natsuki naturally summarized a 'Scumbag' Bible.
Scumbag Bible, third rule: all girls need to be coaxed, from eighty years old to three years old, without exception.
Coaxing here does not necessarily an deceiving, but mainly refers to sweet talk.
No one knows how to say it from the beginning.
It may be quite embarrassing the first ti you say it, but after saying it a few more tis, you will naturally be able to stabilize your state.
Natsuki even believed that even if the person in front of him at this mont was the real Kayako, as long as she had not been killed, he would be able to conquer her.
"Senpai, sit down for a while." Natsuki raised his right hand, touched Tsuba's head, and planted Sin Mushroom smoothly, "I'll go prepare dinner."
"…"
Watching Natsuki walk towards the kitchen, Tsuba's eyes couldn't help but beco dazed.
What exactly happened?
Why has her husband changed so much?
But… she can't completely hate it.
Natsuki walked into the kitchen and glanced around. There were no ingredients or anything like that at all.
The Nightmare didn't intend to let people cook and make food. Even if you don't eat, you won't actually feel hungry. Of course, it's not clear what will happen in reality.
However, since he promised Senpai a candlelight dinner, Natsuki would naturally do what he said. Anyway, he had everything in his backpack.
A mont later.
Natsuki walked out of the kitchen carrying a plated dish.
"Eh, so fast?"
Tsuba subconsciously got up to greet him.
"A candlelight dinner that was agreed upon, of course, it was prepared in advance." Natsuki placed the dish on the table, "Senpai, go wash your hands."
"Hmm…"
Tsuba obediently listened and walked towards the washroom.
After setting up all the dishes, Natsuki felt like sothing was missing. He searched around the living room and finally found the daughter hiding behind the sofa. He lifted her up with one hand and carried her into the washroom:
"Senpai, help our daughter wash her face and hands."
"Ah… okay."
Tsuba was obviously a little afraid of her daughter, but Natsuki was standing next to her and didn't leave. The daughter also looked very well-behaved. She finally mustered up the courage to help clean her.
"That's enough." Natsuki saw that she was almost done washing and turned to walk out of the washroom, "Co out and eat."
Tsuba and the daughter obediently followed her out.
The three of them sat down at the table.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Tsuba only felt a little dizzy.
Dishes.
Red wine.
Candles.
Roses…
Her husband is too strange!
In her mory, he was clearly a super gloomy and terrifying man who would use violence at the slightest disagreent, completely different from the person in front of her!
Natsuki poured a glass of red wine for Tsuba and said softly:
"Senpai, have a glass first."
"I, I'll do it myself…"
Tsuba quickly took the glass.
"Stare—"
The daughter looked over pitifully, her eyes looking at the red wine in Senpai's hand.
"Children can't drink alcohol." Natsuki took out a bottle of fruit soda, unscrewed it, and handed it to the daughter, "Drink half a bottle first, then eat after drinking it."
The daughter quickly nodded. As countless bubbles danced and burst on her tongue, the daughter opened her eyes in shock and quickly stuck out her tongue. Her movents were surprisingly cute.
Natsuki raised his glass, looked at Kayako, and said softly:
"Senpai, cheers."
Tsuba quickly raised her glass: "…Cheers."
After taking a sip of red wine, a blush quietly appeared on Tsuba's cheeks.
Natsuki picked up his chopsticks again, helped her pick up food, and didn't forget his daughter.
"Let do it." Tsuba quickly took the chopsticks and said softly, "You… eat well."
Natsuki smiled and said:
"As expected, I like Senpai the most."
"You…"
Tsuba bit her lip and involuntarily looked away.
Strange.
So strange.
Clearly, the husband in her mory was super scary, and she should be very afraid, but now she can't be afraid at all.
The dinner was quite enjoyable.
Unfortunately, the Nightmare still exists and shows no signs of breaking.
Obviously, Senpai is still unconsciously emitting fear.
After dinner.
"I'll clear the table." Natsuki said, "The bathwater is ready. Senpai, go take a bath first. I'll help you scrub your back later."
"S-scrub my back?" Tsuba subconsciously covered her chest and instinctively felt shy, "No need, I can wash myself."
Natsuki said:
"Then let's take a bath together."
"Eh?"
"We are a legal couple. It's normal to take a bath with Senpai, right?"
"Hmm…"
Tsuba couldn't find a reason to refute, so she could only walk towards the bathroom hesitantly.
In Japan, it is indeed very normal for husbands and wives to take a bath together in order to save water resources.
In many traditional families, even fathers will take a bath with their daughters… There is really no way to refuse.
A mont later.
Natsuki cleared the table and ca to the bathroom door. He raised his hand and knocked on the door, reminding her:
"Senpai, I'm coming in."
"Um…" Tsuba's voice was nervous, "Y-you can co in."
Natsuki opened the door and walked into the bathroom.
A candle was placed in the corner of the bathroom, and the bright light illuminated the space. Senpai was sitting on a small stool, taking a bath. Seeing Natsuki walk in, she quickly covered her body with a red face.
Natsuki naturally walked behind Senpai and said:
"Senpai, I'll help you scrub your back first. You can help later. Let's wash up and take a bath together."
"Hmm…" Tsuba didn't know how to refuse, but she was still afraid, so she could only say softly, "Scrubbing my back is enough, don't take a bath."
The Nightmare will not tamper with the residents' bodies. This is quite good. For example, if Senpai is E-cup, she will not be modified into a flat-chested girl by the Nightmare.
They finished scrubbing each other's backs.
Tsuba quietly breathed a sigh of relief and covered her body, saying:
"You take a bath first, I'll wait a while…"
Natsuki grabbed Senpai's hand and said:
"It's almost ti, let's try it first."
"Eh?"
Tsuba was stunned and stared blankly.
Try it… try what?
C-could it be that they were going to do that kind of thing in the bathroom?
The mories that had not been modified surged up, and the temperature on Tsuba's pretty face rose rapidly. Just as she was about to struggle and refuse, she saw Natsuki raise his right hand and gently snap his fingers.
Snap.
The next second.
Tsuba only felt sothing explode gently on top of her head, followed by a wave of fatigue that quickly swept through her limbs. Her mind quickly went blank, and she didn't want to do anything but beco a salted fish and lie flat, lying flat until the end of ti.
"It's a lust mushroom."
Natsuki stretched out his hands, hugged Senpai, who was unwilling to even stand, and then waited silently.
Humans have limits, and so do emotions.
When an emotion reaches its limit, other emotions beco insignificant.
For example, if a lust mushroom grows on top of your head, once it explodes, even Miss Sadako will accept anyone.
Natsuki didn't know how effective Sin Mushroom was, but it was worth a try.
A mont later.
The confusion in Tsuba's eyes slowly dissipated. As the fear disappeared, she finally regained her covered mories. Her eyes fell on Natsuki's face, and her voice was lazy, as if it took all her strength to speak, as she said slowly:
"Um… Natsuki-kun?"
Very good.
It seems that Sin Mushroom is indeed effective.
Natsuki nodded in satisfaction, looking at Tsuba in his arms, and smiled:
"Tsuba-senpai, you should call Husband now."
Tsuba: "..."
