Bang!
Hayasaka Ai shot him an embarrassed, annoyed look and kicked at him.
"Don't push your luck, you lousy Student Council president! Try that again and you're dead!"
Amamiya Natsuki murmured,
"You seemed to enjoy it too..."
Thud!
Hayasaka Ai raised her hand and punched him again, then sneered.
"So the president really wants to die, huh?"
"I'm sorry. I was wrong."
"Hmph."
Hayasaka Ai gave an annoyed snort, folded her arms across her chest, and turned to leave.
"Wait, there's one more important thing..."
Amamiya Natsuki called Hayasaka back. With only a few minutes left before class, he explained the Time Bubble's true purpose.

"Though I haven't visited Auntie yet, Kaguya told me that you really love your mother, right, Ai?" Amamiya Natsuki laced his fingers together and spoke gently. "The news about Catastrophe of Supernatural Stories is gradually becoming impossible to keep under wraps. You can find a chance to tell Auntie the truth."
"I understand..." Hayasaka Ai nodded lightly. Then her pretty face turned stern, and she warned him, "You're not allowed to make a move on Mom!"
Amamiya Natsuki was at a loss.
"How could I possibly do something like that?"
Hayasaka Ai angrily reached out to pinch him. "You put a blindfold on the Young Lady and carried her straight over to me. Is there anything in the world you wouldn't do?!"
"My sincerest apologies." Amamiya Natsuki raised both hands in surrender. "I was a little impulsive today."
"If apologizing worked, what would we need the police for?"
Hayasaka Ai gave a soft snort and turned to leave the Student Council
