Amamiya Natsuki naturally didn't know he was being 'live-streamed'. He finished his shower as usual and began to take a bath.
In a blink of an eye, it was half past ten at night.
Amamiya Natsuki came out after his bath and looked at Kitagawa, who was playing on her phone on the sofa: "How's your foot now?"
"Much better, just a little bit of pain. It should be fine by tomorrow morning when I wake up." Kitagawa Marin put down her phone, stretched, "Let's go upstairs and replenish Shimizu-nee's magic."
"Mm."
Just as the two were about to go upstairs, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Eh?" Kitagawa Marin turned to look towards the entrance, "Someone's ringing the doorbell so late? Could it be Miko?"
"…I'll get it."
Amamiya Natsuki felt a subtle premonition.
The person ringing the doorbell was likely not Miko, but…
He walked to the entrance and opened the door.
What met his eyes was the cool, watery night.
In the bright moonlight, a pink-haired girl with a black bow tied at her forehead smiled brightly, raised both hands, made a peace sign, and said in a clear voice:
"Natsuki-kun, good evening."
"…"
It was you, Fujiwara Chika!
When she sent the message earlier, he already had a vague premonition.
Fujiwara Chika's smile was brilliant, as if it brightened the cool moonlight a few shades: "Surprised? Unexpected?"
Amamiya Natsuki sighed: "Yes, yes, very surprised."
"That's too perfunctory!"
"…"
"Eh, Chika?"
Kitagawa Marin, hearing the commotion, walked over, her eyes widening in surprise, "Weren't you going to play abroad for a few more days? Why are you back already?"
"Because I was worried about you guys." Fujiwara Chika pulled her suitcase in, "You and Natsuki-kun always separate at some point. What if you encounter that evil spirit, how dangerous would that be?"
"I told my parents that I had something very important to do, so I came back early."
"Chika-chan."
Kitagawa Marin's eyes were teary.
Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and said:
"When you messaged me, you had just gotten off the plane?"
"Heh heh, that's right." Fujiwara Chika put her right hand on her hip, raised her chin, and snorted proudly, "I said there would be a surprise, and of course I wouldn't break my word."
"I, Fujiwara Chika, keep my promises."
"Chika-chan." Mrs. Shimizu smiled pleasantly, "Long time no see."
"Shimizu-nee, good evening." Fujiwara Chika waved happily.
So, where was it long?
It had only been a few days, alright!
"Natsuki-kun, I'm thirsty." Fujiwara Chika turned to look, "Do you have any drinks?"
Hey, hey, you really don't treat yourself as an outsider!
Amamiya Natsuki turned and walked to the refrigerator, ignoring the human head evil spirit inside: "Milk or juice?"
"I want juice."
"…"
Three girls make a play.
Kitagawa and Fujiwara Chika, both social butterflies who loved to chat, sat together and chattered away.
"Just tonight, Natsuki-kun and I went to the supermarket to buy things and encountered a random game…"
Kitagawa Marin talked about today's Ghost Ship hide-and-seek.
Fujiwara Chika, on the other hand, talked about her travel experiences abroad these past few days.
"Traveling wasn't fun at all. There are many evil spirits abroad too. Even if you pretend not to see them, it's still very scary."
"When I was in the Vatican, I even specifically went to a very famous grand cathedral."
"Completely useless, there were evil spirits inside too. Perhaps it's the same all over the world… Marin-chan, what happened to your foot?"
"Ahem." Kitagawa Marin lightly coughed twice, "I accidentally got tails when flipping a coin earlier. Now it only hurts a little bit, don't worry."
After hearing about the silver coin's effect, Fujiwara Chika quickly turned and looked at Amamiya Natsuki, eagerly saying:
"Natsuki-kun, I want to play too."
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Reason?"
Fujiwara Chika replied without hesitation: "I've been playing a mobile game recently and want to draw the SSR in the game."
For the sake of gacha, she didn't care about being plagued by bad luck!
"It's only half an hour of bad luck." Fujiwara Chika raised a thumb, closed her right eye, and smiled triumphantly, "For Kamisato Ayaka, it's super worth it."
"…"
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a super good deal.
"It's fine if you want to play." Amamiya Natsuki agreed, "But do you want to take a shower?"
Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Marin's pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly glanced over, then swiftly averted her gaze.
"Yes, I do." Fujiwara Chika blinked, "It's a bit hot, and I sweated on the way back, so I definitely need to shower."
"Then go shower first." Amamiya Natsuki waved, "It's dangerous to have bad luck in the bathroom."
"Meow?"
Fujiwara Chika tilted her head, then quickly agreed, "Then I'll go shower first."
Saying that, she looked at Kitagawa Marin and added:
"Leave the magic replenishment to me later, Marin-chan, you rest well."
"Actually…"
Kitagawa Marin reached out her right hand, but unfortunately, Fujiwara Chika had already entered the bathroom.
Actually, it was just her foot hurting, a back rub was completely fine.
Half an hour later.
Fujiwara Chika came out after showering, two sections of her fair calves exposed beneath her bathrobe: "Natsuki-kun, shall we replenish Shimizu-nee's magic?"
Amamiya Natsuki stood up and said:
"To my room."
Kitagawa Marin hesitated slightly, but still followed.
The three entered the room.
"Natsuki-kun, lie down." Fujiwara Chika pointed.
Amamiya Natsuki lay flat on the spot.
"Don't move around," Fujiwara Chika said, covering her bathrobe with one hand, carefully stepping onto Amamiya Natsuki's back. "I can move by myself."
Amamiya Natsuki let out a soft sigh: "How do I feel like your weight..."
"I only gained one pound!"
"..."
Kitagawa Marin pursed her pink lips, watching the two of them recharge their magic, and her mood suddenly felt subtly strange.
Strange.
Why did she feel so empty?
A moment later.
"Full, full, my body is already filled," Mrs. Shimizu said, phasing in from outside the door, her body having re-solidified. She happily made a peace sign, "I can stay up late to catch up on anime again tonight."
Amamiya Natsuki got up, put on his clothes, took out the Coin of Destiny, and handed it to Fujiwara Chika.
"According to my phone fortune-telling this morning, my luck is really good today," Fujiwara Chika said, taking the coin, holding it with both hands, and muttering with her eyes closed, "If I get a luck boost, I'll use all the accumulated Originium to pull cards."
That was clearly impossible today.
Amamiya Natsuki stared at the silver coin, and a prompt slowly appeared before his eyes.
Luck is being absorbed...
This thing is very likely as he guessed: first, it absorbs other people's luck, and when it reaches a certain level, it then gives it back. Clearly, it's not enough yet.
Clap.
Fujiwara Chika caught the coin, and sure enough, it was tails.
"Eh~ It's tails," Fujiwara Chika wasn't discouraged. "There's a bad luck Haunt mark on me... How will bad luck appear?"
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"If nothing unexpected happens, you'll know very soon."
