"Very good, next one."
Watching the Shadow Hunter's mission progress increase by one, Amamiya Natsuki nodded in satisfaction.
Shadow Chika tilted her pretty face upwards, her voice calm as she said, "President, I want a reward."
Amamiya Natsuki looked over and said gently, "What reward do you want?"
Shadow Chika said calmly, "It's something I've always wanted to do with the President but haven't done yet."
Amamiya Natsuki heard this and couldn't help but look at secretary Chika: "What is it?"
"I don't know, I really don't know."
Secretary Chika quickly shook her head.
There were too many things she wanted to do with the President, such as traveling together, visiting the aquarium together, playing at the Sea together, and staying in the room to read comics together on a rainy day… She couldn't even count them on two hands, and she had no idea what she suddenly wanted to do.
Shadow Chika spread her arms wide, anticipating, "President, I want a piggyback ride."
Amamiya Natsuki: "…"
Her wish was actually a piggyback ride; that's a game only children like.
"As expected of you," Amamiya Natsuki looked at secretary Chika meaningfully. "A high school student still wants a piggyback ride."
"What's wrong with being a high school student?" Secretary Chika coughed twice. This time, she didn't deny her wish. "A piggyback ride isn't strange."
Amamiya Natsuki said, "Why didn't you say so before?"
"It's inconvenient when wearing a skirt," Secretary Chika said, then turned to look at the Shadow girl, "By the way, you're also wearing a skirt now, so maybe you shouldn't ride?"
"No," Shadow Chika refused expressionlessly. "You've clearly wanted a piggyback ride for a long time, and I am wearing panties."
Secretary Chika said speechlessly, "I was clearly talking about the skirt, it has nothing to do with panties, right?"
Shadow Chika tilted her head and looked over: "Then I'll take off my panties and get a piggyback ride?"
"Eh eh eh?" Secretary Chika looked over in disbelief, "What are you saying!!!"
Shameless.
Was she really such a shameless girl!
Even Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but cast a shocked gaze at secretary Chika.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Secretary Chika's pretty face flushed red as she quickly denied it three times, clenching her fists and shouting in shame, "I do want to ride the President, but I never thought of doing such a thing without wearing panties!"
"You really haven't thought about it," Shadow Chika said calmly. "It's a new way to play that I just thought of, and I feel it would be very interesting."
"How is that interesting?!" Secretary Chika couldn't help but shout, "It's super awful, okay?!"
Amamiya Natsuki coughed lightly, interrupting the two Chika's argument, and said seriously, "Don't argue, both of you take a step back. A normal piggyback ride will do."
Amamiya Natsuki then squatted down and looked at Shadow Chika, saying, "Come on up."
"Mm."
Shadow Chika's expression was calm, and she grabbed the edges of her skirt, lifting it upwards.
"Wait," Secretary Chika quickly pressed down on the girl's skirt, her eyes wide as she said, "Just ride, why are you lifting your skirt? Your panties are going to show."
"Lifting the skirt is, of course, to make riding easier," Shadow Chika said expressionlessly, as she sat on Amamiya Natsuki's shoulders. "You haven't ridden before, so it's normal that you don't understand."
Secretary Chika: "…"
So you're also riding for the first time!
"Hold on tight."
Amamiya Natsuki held Shadow Chika's legs with both hands and stood up. Whether it was the delicate touch of her skin or the warmth transmitted from her body, everything felt exceptionally real, without any falsehood.
"Ugh…"
Secretary Chika couldn't help but puff out her pink cheeks.
She herself had never ridden the President, and now another version of herself was openly taking the President's first ride in front of her. She couldn't be happy at all.
"President" Shadow Chika placed her hands on top of Amamiya Natsuki's head, a hint of happiness in her voice, "Giddy up"
Amamiya Natsuki: "…"
Clear rewards and punishments are very important.
Shadow Chika had just performed a meritorious deed, so her wish naturally had to be fulfilled.
Amamiya Natsuki secured the Shadow girl on his shoulders and began to walk forward. As for how he felt… aside from being a little embarrassed, everything else was great, especially the delicate and smooth skin texture of Shadow Chika, which deserved full marks.
Along the way, pedestrians naturally cast surprised and curious glances from time to time, but Amamiya Natsuki was thick-skinned, and Shadow creatures had no sense of shame, so they didn't care how others viewed them. The only person who was probably depressed was secretary Chika.
No wonder Kaguya disliked her yandere self so much; it felt too strange.
A moment later.
Shadow Chika suddenly pinched Amamiya Natsuki's ear and said calmly, "President, put me down. I found another one."
Amamiya Natsuki stopped at the sound, picked up Shadow Chika from his shoulders, and while observing the surroundings, whispered, "I'll leave it to you."
"Mm."
Shadow Chika's expression was calm as she walked towards a beautiful, gentle lady by the roadside.
"It is indeed a shadow," Secretary Chika tiptoed and whispered into Amamiya Natsuki's ear. "The shadow on the ground is clearly a bit out of sync with the body, probably to avoid being stepped on."
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Chika and whispered, "Do you want a piggyback ride?"
Secretary Chika puffed out her pink cheeks at the question: "I don't want one!"
As they spoke, Shadow Chika walked over with the gentle lady.
Shadow Chika's 'traitor' identity had not yet been exposed, so the gentle lady was completely unguarded, and followed the group into the dark forest.
"How can I help?"
The lady in the yukata spoke in a very gentle voice, but perhaps it was a common trait among Shadow creatures, as there was almost no emotional fluctuation on her face, or perhaps she disdained to feign emotion in front of ordinary people like Amamiya Natsuki and Chika.
"Just cooperate and don't move."
Shadow Chika took out a flashlight, and the light shone down, quickly creating a clear shadow on the ground.
"Don, the Outlaw, that's you!" Secretary Chika decisively played along.
Snap.
Amamiya Natsuki placed his hand on the lady's shoulder, and said seriously, "Mrs. Don, you are under arrest."
Discovering her body suddenly uncontrollable, the Shadow lady's eyes widened, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face: "What did you do?"
"I won't tell you."
Amamiya Natsuki wasted no words. A hammer weapon appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he slammed it down onto the shadow on the ground.
Bang!
Dirt splattered.
The Shadow lady, whose main body was heavily struck, instantly distorted her body, rapidly melted into black sludge, and then the sludge disappeared, becoming a black mark on the ground.
Mission progress increased by two.
"President." Shadow Chika gently tugged at Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve, tilting her pretty face up and saying, "Reward."
Amamiya Natsuki said gently, "You still want to ride a horse?"
"Let's change to a new reward." Shadow Chika shook her head, her tone calm, "I remember the first time everyone played a tabletop game in the Tabletop Game Club, the punishment I drew was to call someone 'Daddy', so…"
"So what?"
"I want the President to call me 'Mommy'."
"…"
Amamiya Natsuki's eye twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but look at secretary Chika.
First, it was riding a horse, and now she wants someone to call her 'Mommy'. It's truly you; your wishes are completely unpredictable!
"I'm not, I didn't." Secretary Chika denied it guiltily, stammering, "That… I called you 'Daddy', so it's only fair you call me 'Mommy', right?"
"It's indeed very fair." Amamiya Natsuki said expressionlessly, "It's just a little perverted."
"How is it perverted?!" Secretary Chika's pretty face flushed crimson, as she forcefully retorted, "Husbands and wives call each other 'Daddy' and 'Mommy', don't they?"
In Japan, besides using names, husbands and wives can also call each other 'darling'. The traditional address for the older generation is 'Daddy' and 'Mommy'. From this perspective, it's indeed not strange.
However…
"I'm lying." Shadow Chika mercilessly exposed her, "Asking the President to call me 'Mommy' is actually because I want to experience maternal love from the President."
What the hell?!
Maternal love is even coming out now. Where does a high school student get maternal love from?!
Secretary Chika's pretty face quickly flushed red. She guiltily turned her head away, covering her ears with her hands and muttering softly, "Don't look at me, I don't know anything."
"Whew…"
Amamiya Natsuki took a deep breath and calmed down.
Rewards for merit, punishments for mistakes. He had promised, so he had to fulfill it, even with tears in his eyes.
It's just calling 'Mommy'. To be honest, it's nothing. Even if he were told to run naked at night, Amamiya Natsuki's current thick skin could handle it.
"…Fujiwara-mama."
Amamiya Natsuki narrowed his eyes, fulfilling the shadow girl's wish.
"Very satisfied." Shadow Chika covered her chest with her right hand and murmured, "So this is what maternal love feels like."
Don't joke around! If hearing someone call you 'Mommy' can make you feel maternal love, then maternal love isn't that cheap!
"Hehe…"
A soft laugh suddenly sounded nearby.
Amamiya Natsuki silently turned his head to look at secretary Chika beside him, and said in a low voice:
"Maternal love, huh? I'm hungry now, can I drink…"
Secretary Chika's pink cheeks puffed out, and her small hand reached Amamiya Natsuki's waist. Her bright eyes glared at him:
"What do you want to drink?!"
"Yes, I agree." Shadow Chika's tone was calm, and she began to unbutton her shirt.
"Ahhh! Stop it right now!" Secretary Chika quickly stopped her shadow, shouting in embarrassment, "Don't agree to all his strange requests!"
Shadow Chika's expression remained indifferent: "It just so happens I also want to experience…"
"No! Absolutely not!"
"…"
After briefly dealing with the traces, the three left the woods and continued their movement.
The Island isn't large. The total number of residents and tourists is only around a thousand, and their activity is mostly concentrated in one area. So, before long, Shadow Chika stopped again and looked at an old man dressed impeccably in a suit.
"Is that old man also a shadow?" Secretary Chika asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Shadow Chika calmly replied, "I'm going over."
Fujiwara Chika whispered:
"President, that old man looks somewhat familiar."
Amamiya Natsuki casually observed the old man out of the corner of his eye, took Chika's hand, and replied in a low voice:
"This morning, we saw him in the Japan daily newspaper published on the Island. He's a local council member, and his ancestors seem to have been old nobles on the Island."
As is well known, Japan has not experienced social reforms from the bottom up, and social stratification is evident. For example, not long ago, a certain prime minister unexpectedly passed away, and his nephew ran for council member. At that time, he directly brought out the family's genealogy—a quick look shows that his father, grandfather, and many generations above were all politicians.
"Hmm…" Secretary Chika blinked her bright eyes, lowering her voice to whisper, "The doctor we first met, that noble-looking woman just now, and now the old businessman… Could it be that the humans replaced by the shadow creatures are all important figures on the Island?"
"Very likely." Amamiya Natsuki nodded in agreement, "Fujiwara mama is so smart."
Secretary Chika's pretty face flushed: "Don't call me mama!"
"Got it, Fujiwara mama."
"Ahhh, I'm going to get angry!"
"…"
As they spoke, Shadow Chika brought the politician old man over.
His traitor identity had not yet been exposed, so the old man came to Amamiya Natsuki and secretary Chika without any guard.
Then…
"Don, the Outlaw, it's you!"
"You're under arrest."
This old man was just an ordinary shadow. After being controlled by the combo of anti-gang and anti-evil techniques, he had no ability to resist and was quickly dealt a fatal blow, turning into a black mark on the ground.
"President…"
Shadow Chika stood by, and after Amamiya Natsuki finished the kill, she tilted her pretty face up, asking for a reward.
Amamiya Natsuki put away his hammer, looked at the shadow girl, and said softly:
"What reward do you want this time?"
Shadow Chika said calmly:
"This time, I want to buy a collar and a leash."
Amamiya Natsuki was startled, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart. He raised an eyebrow and said:
"Why would you buy those things?"
"Eh, eh, eh?" As the original body, secretary Chika already knew what the shadow girl was about to say. Her eyes widened, and she quickly lunged forward, trying to cover the shadow girl's mouth, "Don't always ask for such strange rewards!"
Unfortunately, secretary Chika was no match for the shadow girl in either strength or speed; she couldn't stop her at all.
Shadow Chika dodged and then said calmly:
"I want to put a collar on the President and then walk the President on a leash."
Amamiya Natsuki: "…"
Good heavens.
Truly good heavens.
The first wish was to ride a horse, the second was to call her 'Mommy', and now she even wants to put a collar on someone and lead them on a walk with a leash. No wonder they say you're the cancer of the Earth!
Amamiya Natsuki looked at secretary Chika with a deep gaze, and said expressionlessly:
"Fujiwara-mama's hobbies are very unique."
"President, don't look at me." Secretary Chika covered her face with both hands, too ashamed to be seen, "I never thought of walking Pes with my left hand and the President with my right hand."
So you even want to lead me and your Pes together! My status is actually that high, truly something to celebrate!
Amamiya Natsuki hesitated:
"This reward is a bit…"
"President." Before Amamiya Natsuki could finish his sentence, Shadow Chika interrupted, clasping her hands in front of her chest, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, "I like the President the most. It's the kind of liking where I want to be the President's girlfriend."
"Wait, wait a minute!" Secretary Chika quickly called out, "What are you talking about?!"
Shadow Chika said calmly:
"I'm saying what you don't dare to say."
Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said:
"I love to hear it, say it again."
Secretary Chika: "…"
Shadow Chika clasped her hands in front of her chest and continued:
"Actually, I've already accepted the President dating everyone together."
"I never agreed!" Secretary Chika retorted loudly.
"You clearly agreed." Shadow Chika tilted her head and looked over, covering her chest and saying, "Tomorrow and accident, you never know which will come first. If an accident happens tomorrow and you haven't officially dated the President, your chest will feel very uncomfortable… That's the feeling of regret, isn't it?"
"…"
Secretary Chika pursed her pink lips and fell silent.
If everyone were just ordinary students playing around in the Student Council every day, and the boy they liked said he wanted a harem, they would definitely punch him flying. But everyone now is a hapless player.
Tomorrow and accident, you never know which will come first.
For ordinary people, this is just a common saying that will be forgotten in ten minutes, and even if they occasionally remember it, they won't feel anything.
But secretary Chika felt it deeply.
As the light of humanity, Fujiwara Chika had helped many people in the dungeon. Many players would confide their thoughts to her. However, many of those who had comforted and encouraged each other never appeared again after entering the dungeon.
For players, life can truly come to an abrupt end tomorrow.
If that's the case, how should they live each day that follows?
Probably by not leaving any regrets in life.
The President wanting to date everyone together, and Marin being willing to date together, must all stem from the same idea.
Amamiya Natsuki broke the silence and waved his hand, saying:
"Let's go, I'm very happy now. To the Convenience Store."
Secretary Chika puffed out her pink cheeks and couldn't help but glare: "What are you so happy about, President?!"
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Of course, it's because Fujiwara-mama is willing to date."
"Idiot President! Go away!"
"…"
Actions speak louder than words.
Keeping one's word is a truly beautiful quality.
Amamiya Natsuki took the two Chikas into the Convenience Store and quickly bought a collar and a leash.
"President, there's a small park on the Island." Shadow Chika tilted her pretty face up, "Shall we go to the park?"
Amamiya Natsuki secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded:
"Then let's go to the park."
To be fair, being led by the shadow girl on a leash in the Commercial Street… even Amamiya Natsuki would feel overly embarrassed.
The three quickly arrived at the small park.
By now, it was already getting dark, and there weren't many pedestrians in the park, making it suitable for fulfilling the reward.
"Alright."
Amamiya Natsuki quickly handed the leash to the shadow girl, his heart calm.
Stay steady.
No need for shame.
Amamiya Natsuki glanced at the pink-haired secretary beside him.
Today, it was his turn to be led. Once the instance ended, it would be his turn to lead Fujiwara Mama.
"The President's gaze is so lewd." Secretary Chika covered her chest with both hands, her eyes vigilant. "I always feel like he's thinking something inappropriate."
Amamiya Natsuki said expressionlessly:
"Fujiwara Mama is so smart."
Fujiwara Chika: "…Ahhh! Stop calling me that!"
The three of them walked around the park. Shadow Chika was very keen on sharing, tilting her head to look at secretary Chika and handing over the rope in her hand: "Do you want to lead her for a bit?"
"Cough, cough…" Secretary Chika coughed twice, stammering, "I-I guess I'll pass, right?"
You say no, but don't show that expectant expression!
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Lead her if you want, there are no outsiders."
Anyway, you lead me today, and it will be your turn tomorrow.
"Then I'll lead her?"
Secretary Chika happily took the leash. After walking for a while, she suddenly stopped. "Eh… That figure looks familiar."
