Humiliation! Utter humiliation!
Even if Sakayanagi Arisu didn't show it, Kamuro Masumi, sitting at the side, could feel the boundless resentment suppressed within that small body.
However, their bet was indeed just that. With Sakayanagi Arisu as the maid, it was only natural for her to do these things.
But, Sakayanagi Arisu was still incredibly angry. Of course, she didn't let it show. She was determined to firmly remember what Shikime Natsu had done to her, so that when she won in the future, she could properly humiliate this guy.
Sakayanagi Arisu had originally thought her own personality was bad enough, but she never expected there to be someone even worse than her. It truly infuriated her.
"I understand."
Sakayanagi Arisu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, walked to the fridge, opened it, took out a carton of milk, then prepared two cups, poured the milk into them, and heated it.
Fortunately, heating it didn't require much physical strength, otherwise, Sakayanagi Arisu really wouldn't have been able to do it.
"Is this really okay?"
Kamuro Masumi frowned and asked.
"Relax, relax, Sakayanagi isn't the type to hold a grudge, right?"
Shikime Natsu raised his voice slightly so Sakayanagi Arisu could hear.
"Ara, of course not. It's a promise, after all. I won't take it to heart."
As if! I've already memorized everything! I will definitely pay it back a hundredfold in the future!
Before Shikime Natsu's eyes, Sakayanagi Arisu's little thoughts were completely exposed. So she would take it to heart. True, if he were treated this way, he would definitely retaliate viciously as well.
"Please, enjoy."
Sakayanagi Arisu acted as if she were a real maid, placing the two cups of hot milk on the table.
"Here, Masumi, this is yours."
Shikime Natsu handed a cup of milk to Kamuro Masumi. The handle of the cup wasn't hot.
"Mm, this milk tastes better than when I heat it myself."
Shikime Natsu nodded with great satisfaction. As expected, milk heated by someone else was completely different from milk he heated himself.
"Is that so? That's wonderful."
Sakayanagi Arisu said, feigning surprise.
"Would you like a cup too?"
Shikime Natsu glanced at Sakayanagi Arisu.
"Can a mere maid like me have one?"
Sakayanagi Arisu raised an eyebrow. She didn't think Shikime Natsu would be so kind.
"Of course, you can."
Shikime Natsu took a sip of the milk in his hand.
"Then I won't be polite."
Sakayanagi Arisu looked at Shikime Natsu with some surprise. Had this guy finally found his conscience?
Hmph, even if he has, I will never forgive him!
She would let this detestable guy know that those who offended her would not have a good end!
It was too late to try and curry favor with her now.
"That'll be three thousand points."
Just as Sakayanagi Arisu took a sip, Shikime Natsu looked at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
Those words made Sakayanagi Arisu's hand freeze instantly.
Three thousand points? For a cup of hot milk?
Even a scam shop wouldn't be this outrageous, would it?
"Ara, Shiki-san really knows how to joke."
Sakayanagi Arisu let out a light laugh, seemingly trying to dissolve the awkwardness.
"Sakayanagi, did you know? When you're at a restaurant and a colleague asks if you'd like a serving, it doesn't mean they're offering to treat you."
What sophistry!
Sakayanagi Arisu's purple eyes stared intently at Shikime Natsu, trying to see a hint of a joke in his eyes.
But... she couldn't see any.
Three thousand points, do I really have to give it to him?
No, is this milk made of gold? How can it be so expensive!
Sakayanagi Arisu thought about her remaining personal points. If she spent another three thousand, she wouldn't even have ten thousand left. And it's only been a few days since school started.
If Shikime Natsu hadn't distributed those twenty thousand personal points to her, she wouldn't have even been able to afford the maid outfit. Should she be thanking him for that?
Absolutely not!
Seeing Sakayanagi Arisu's somewhat stiff expression, Shikime Natsu let out a laugh.
"I'll let you have it for free this time."
Shikime Natsu nodded, as if Sakayanagi Arisu had gotten a huge bargain.
"Then thank you very much, Shiki-san. The milk worth three thousand points really does taste good."
Sakayanagi Arisu said with a forced smile.
"Is that so? You think so too."
Shikime Natsu nodded, pretending not to understand Sakayanagi Arisu's passive-aggressive tone.
It was precisely Shikime Natsu's thick-skinned personality that left Sakayanagi Arisu at a loss for how to deal with him for a moment.
But... as long as she could endure this week and this matter was over, she could continue to challenge Shikime Natsu.
Kamuro Masumi watched their interaction, thinking that although Shikime Natsu seemed a bit unreliable, he probably wouldn't do anything too out of line. She had been overthinking things.
For one year, Sakayanagi Arisu wouldn't do anything to harm the class. It would be great if that were really the case. If she continued to compete with Shikime Natsu, although she didn't want to say it, Kamuro Masumi really felt that Sakayanagi Arisu had no chance of winning.
When she first came to this class, Kamuro Masumi had thought Sakayanagi Arisu was a very smart person, but... after seeing Sakayanagi Arisu defeated by Shikime Natsu and forced to wear a maid outfit, she felt Sakayanagi Arisu wasn't that amazing after all. In a maid outfit, Sakayanagi Arisu seemed quite weak.
"It's about time. Remember to clean up for me before you go back."
Shikime Natsu placed his cup on the table, signaling for Sakayanagi Arisu to take it to be washed.
This feeling of not having to lift a finger was quite nice.
"Masumi, you should drink up too. It's getting late."
Shikime Natsu glanced at the time on his phone, then turned his gaze to Kamuro Masumi.
The service time for tonight was about all there was. If he made Sakayanagi Arisu wear a maid outfit during the day... hmm, it would probably cause a lot of trouble, and might even get their class points deducted.
After all, as a student, wearing the school uniform was a basic rule.
"Okay, thanks for the treat."
Kamuro Masumi nodded, and after finishing her drink, she was about to take her cup to wash it.
"Just leave it for Sakayanagi. She's a maid, after all. This kind of thing should be handled by a maid."
Shikime Natsu waved his hand, signaling for Kamuro Masumi to put it down. To be honest, in Shikime Natsu's eyes, Sakayanagi Arisu still had a long way to go before she could become a qualified maid.
Massages, back pounding—she basically couldn't do any of it well. Her body was just too frail. All she could do now was wash these cups.
After sending Sakayanagi Arisu and Kamuro Masumi off, Shikime Natsu checked the time. It was nine-thirty, still half an hour until curfew. After drinking a glass of milk, he still felt a little hungry. He might as well go downstairs and buy something to eat. Half an hour was more than enough time.
After Shikime Natsu went downstairs, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure in front of him. Wasn't that Kushida Kikyou?
What was she doing out so late at night?
