"Natsuki-kun, good morning."

Mrs. Shimizu, with black hair reaching her waist, sat on the sofa, engrossed in her phone. Seeing Amamiya Natsuki come downstairs, she looked up and greeted him:

"I remember when I passed away, phones were still Nokia, and they couldn't do anything but make calls and send messages. Now they can even video call… Science and technology truly are the primary productive force!"

You're a spiritual being, don't convert to the Cult of Science!

"Stop playing on your phone." Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you feel unwell?"

"Eh?" Mrs. Shimizu tilted her head, her voice hazy, "What's wrong?"

Your body is already indistinct, and you ask what's wrong!

After one night.

This Mrs. Shimizu's state was clearly very wrong.

If yesterday was HD mode, today she had clearly turned into 720P quality.

"Strange, why is this happening?"

Mrs. Shimizu looked down at her body and quickly widened her eyes.

Amamiya Natsuki said speechlessly:

"You don't know what's going on with your own body?"

"Even if Natsuki-kun says that, this is my first time being a Guardian Spirit, and I have no experience at all." Mrs. Shimizu said pitifully, hugging her chest, "Could I be sick?"

You're just a Guardian Spirit, you don't even have a body, how can you get sick!

Amamiya Natsuki said in a deep voice:

"What did you do last night?"

"Let me think…" Mrs. Shimizu extended a finger and placed it on her lips, "After Natsuki-kun fell asleep, I kept playing on my phone in the living room. The phone ran out of battery in the middle, so I played while charging… and then it was morning."

So you stayed up all night playing on your phone! You're lazing around by staying up late, be careful you don't die suddenly!

I forgot.

She's already a ghost.

As a ghost, staying up all night to cultivate immortality seems to be no problem at all.

"I feel a bit weak." Mrs. Shimizu said hesitantly, "I might be… hungry?"

The essence of a Guardian Spirit is still a ghost, not a human.

She had tried it last night; Mrs. Shimizu could drink and eat, but she couldn't taste anything, nor would she feel full.

As for where the food went, only heaven knew.

Amamiya Natsuki pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"You said yesterday that touching physical objects requires consuming some kind of power?"

As a ghost, in its normal form, it cannot interact with matter, otherwise the whole world would have gone awry long ago.

Mrs. Shimizu blinked: "…It seems so."

Case closed.

There is only one truth.

You kept consuming an unknown power playing on your phone, literally draining yourself dry!

As a ghost, you can drain yourself by staying up all night cultivating immortality. You're too weak!

"Natsuki-kun, what should we do now?" Mrs. Shimizu asked pitifully.

"I don't know either." Amamiya Natsuki shook his head, "Let's go to school first."

After a simple breakfast of bread and a glass of milk, Amamiya Natsuki grabbed his schoolbag and left for school alone.

Unlike usual, today he had an extra Guardian Spirit Mrs. Shimizu by his side.

"I really want to stay home and keep playing on my phone…"

Mrs. Shimizu's voice was full of regret.

Still thinking about playing on your phone? If you play too much, you might turn into dust!

Stepping out of the house, he just happened to see Yotsuya Miko coming out of the house next door.

"Miko, good morning."

Amamiya Natsuki raised his hand to greet her.

"Morning." Miko nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Mrs. Shimizu, and she said softly, "Miss Shimizu, good morning."

Mrs. Shimizu smiled and nodded, her posture elegant: "Miko-chan, good morning to you too."

"Um…" Yotsuya Miko pursed her pink lips, hesitating, "Miss Shimizu, why are you different from yesterday?"

Mrs. Shimizu covered her face with both hands: "Because Natsuki-kun kept tormenting me with this and that posture last night…"

Don't talk nonsense! If the Ice Princess heard that, someone would definitely die!

It was Amamiya Natsuki's first time having a Guardian Spirit as an "accessory," so of course he had to properly test her abilities. He couldn't just treat her like his mother-in-law and worship her, could he?

Yotsuya Miko's expression remained unchanged, and she turned to look at Amamiya Natsuki: "What happened?"

Amamiya Natsuki sighed, explained the situation, and then said earnestly:

"…The lesson is right in front of us, Miko, don't stay up late playing on your phone anymore."

Yotsuya Miko gave him an annoyed look: "You have the nerve to tell me, you're the same."

Talking along the way, the two soon arrived at school.

Ever since Yotsuya Miko knew that Amamiya Natsuki had the ability to exorcise evil spirits, she decided to go to school together from then on.

Being misunderstood was completely unimportant compared to the fatigue and despair of being alone.

Anyway, they were childhood friends, so it didn't matter if people misunderstood.

Amamiya Natsuki and Miko said goodbye at the shoe lockers, changed into their indoor shoes, and entered their respective classrooms.

It was still early for class, and the classroom was empty, with only a few people.

The black-haired, red-eyed Ice Princess sat in the corner, quietly looking at the playground outside the window. Sunlight fell on the girl's flawless profile, her astonishing beauty without a single blemish. Boys had already walked back and forth in the Corridor many times.

Unfortunately, equally famous as her beauty was her coldness. Surrounded by an aura that warned people to keep their distance, everyone only dared to admire her from afar, not daring to approach.

Until Amamiya Natsuki appeared.

"Kaguya-chan, Mommy's here!"

Mrs. Shimizu's eyes lit up, and she happily called out.

Shinomiya Kaguya slightly pursed her pink lips, not speaking.

"So mean." Mrs. Shimizu covered her cheeks, "Not saying a word, Kaguya-chan really doesn't want to see Mommy, does she?"

"…"

Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, feeling a headache.

The others in the classroom couldn't see you, so how could they talk to you!

Her mother in her childhood memories was clearly a quiet person, so why had she become like this now?

Turning to look at Mrs. Shimizu, Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face tightened when she noticed Mrs. Shimizu's abnormality.

"…What happened?"

Shinomiya Kaguya asked in a low voice.

Amamiya Natsuki sighed: "It's a long story."

Before he finished speaking, Amamiya Natsuki suddenly felt his finger move, and he turned to see Fujiwara Chika walking in from outside with a bright smile.

"Natsuki-kun, good morning… Eh, eh, eh?"

Fujiwara Chika widened her eyes, saying in disbelief, "Is that Kaguya-chan's mother?"

Mrs. Shimizu, who had just been covering her face and pretending to be wronged, now made a peace sign:

"That's right, it's me."

Amamiya Natsuki explained, "Many things happened after school yesterday. In short, Kaguya-san's mother is now my Guardian Spirit."

Because the voice was too loud, several students in the classroom looked over.

Fujiwara Chika covered her pink lips, her pretty face showing a big 'I'm very curious': "Let's go quickly, we'll talk slowly at the Tabletop Game Club."

"..."

Tabletop Game Club activity room.

"So much happened yesterday!" Fujiwara Chika puffed out her cheeks, "You guys didn't even call me to join, how mean."

Shinomiya Kaguya's right arm was crossed over her chest: "You still had club activities, so even if I told you, you wouldn't have time, right?"

After the Ice Princess finished speaking, she turned to look over: "What... exactly happened to me? Why have I become like this?"

Amamiya Natsuki didn't hide anything and stated his deduction: "...That's the situation."

After listening, Shinomiya Kaguya slightly furrowed her delicate brows: "Is there any way to replenish energy?"

"We experimented yesterday," Amamiya Natsuki said, "Your mother can't replenish energy through food."

"I got it!" Fujiwara Chika suddenly raised her hand, her voice clear, "Maybe it's... in need of Magic Replenishment."
