Kaguya-sama: Love Is War wants me to turn myself in.

Strange roars could be heard from time to time in the forest, but the girls hiding in the caves they had carved out themselves felt no fear at all; on the contrary, they felt very safe.

"Natsuki-kun~"

After eating the spider, Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands to her chest and looked up at me pitifully.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Chika and said:

"what happened?"

Fujiwara Chika said expectantly:

"I want to brush my teeth."

Amamiya Natsuki was speechless: "This is a deserted island isolated from the world, and you still want to brush your teeth? That's asking too much."

When Robinson Crusoe was stranded on a desert island, he never thought about brushing his teeth; at most, he would chew some leaves to clean his mouth!

"But it's so uncomfortable not to brush my teeth." Fujiwara Chika's eyes were full of hope. "Natsuki-kun is so amazing, he must have a way, right?"

Senior Sister Yanzi also looked forward to coming over:

"Um, I want to brush my teeth too."

"And me." Hayasaka Ai raised her hand, looking over with a half-smile. "Natsuki-san shouldn't disappoint everyone, right?"

The Japanese islanders brush their teeth three times a day—morning, noon, and night—and pay great attention to oral hygiene. So even when stranded on a desert island, they still want to take a shower and brush their teeth.

"I do have toothpaste." Natsuki Amamiya took out a tube of toothpaste from her backpack. The game blind boxes contained all sorts of odds and ends, and when she found the toothpaste, she thought it was trash, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now. "But you guys can't just use it for nothing, can you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, arms crossed, turned to Kaguya upon hearing this and calmly said:

"Kaguya-san, what do you say?"

Kaguya Shinomiya tilted her head and looked over, a half-smile on her face, and said:

"What does the president want us to do?"

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

hateful.

Yukino has him wrapped around her little finger!

"I just want you to save some money, since toothpaste is a non-renewable consumable." Amamiya Natsuki decisively lowered her head and handed the toothpaste to the young lady with both hands. "Please feel free to use it."

"Huh?" Fujiwara Chika blinked, her tone puzzled. "Natsuki-kun seems to be afraid of Kaguya-chan?"

“It’s not fear,” Natsuki Amamiya corrected, “it’s respect.”

"..."

The girls emerged from the cave and began taking turns washing up.

Even if you're stranded on a desert island, you should still pay attention to personal hygiene.

After everyone had finished washing up, it was already late at night, and some people were already yawning and starting to feel sleepy.

The group quickly assigned a watch order, pairing up to keep watch together to prevent anyone from falling asleep and being unaware of the danger. The others then began to rest.

The cave quickly fell silent.

Natsuki Amamiya chose the pre-dawn watch order, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

Silent all night.

the next day.

It wasn't actually the second day; the sky outside had just brightened up again. However, just like yesterday, there was still no sun, only a hazy glow. Even though the sky had brightened, it was still shrouded in a thin layer of gloom.

Natsuki Amamiya was sitting at the entrance of the cave, on her night watch, when she suddenly saw Yukino's eyelashes fluttering slightly in the distance and opened her eyes in confusion.

"wake up?"

Natsuki Amamiya reached out her right hand and gently touched Yukino's head.

Yukino Yukinoshita had just woken up, her eyes still misty and she was clearly a little dazed. When her head was patted, she instinctively rubbed against Natsuki Amamiya's palm like a cat.

Just a few seconds later, Yukino was fully awake, quickly turning her head away, a hint of embarrassment rising in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and whispered:

"you……"

"Keep your voice down." Natsuki Amamiya held up a finger to her lips and whispered a reminder, "Don't wake anyone else."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked around and, seeing that the others in the cave were still asleep, took a deep breath and suppressed her embarrassment and anger.

"I was just checking if the mushrooms on your head were ripe," Natsuki Amamiya said, raising his hands in a serious tone. "Now I have two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Yukino, which do you want to hear first?"

Yukino Yukinoshita silently sat up, glanced around at the girls who were still sleeping, let out a soft breath, raised her right hand, and used her slender fingers to comb through her messy hair, whispering:

"bad news."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"The bad news is too terrible, I'm afraid you can't handle it, we have to go outside to tell you."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

What kind of terrible news could be so unbearable?

Yukino Yukinoshita's pink lips parted slightly, suppressing the urge to ask questions, and she whispered:

"So what's the good news?"

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said:

"The mushrooms on your head are ripe."

...That is indeed good news.

Yukino's eyes brightened slightly as she whispered:

"Does that mean I can awaken?"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"Okay, let's go outside the cave."

"Ah."

Yukino nodded slightly and followed Yukino out of the cave.

"Let's go a little further away," Natsuki Amamiya said in a low voice as she walked away. "Don't wake everyone."

Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated slightly, then silently followed.

For now, this boy's character is still trustworthy—there are no laws or morals on a desert island, and no one can punish him no matter what he does.

For example, last night when we all slept together in the cave, this guy was quite honest and didn't assault any of the girls.

If it were any other man with absolute power, someone would have already lost their innocence last night...

and many more.

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly remembered that she had been bitten by a poisonous insect yesterday.

In the past, doing that kind of thing would have meant losing one's virginity, right?

Yukino Yukinoshita blushed slightly and quickly shook her head, trying to banish the embarrassing scene from yesterday from her mind.

After a while.

"Just here."

Amamiya Natsuki stopped and looked at Yukino behind her.

"How to do?"

Yukino Yukinoshita stopped and asked softly.

Amamiya Natsuki shamelessly said:

"The mushroom on your head needs to be kissed to explode before it can awaken."

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms over her chest, raised her eyebrows, and turned to walk back.

Amamiya Natsuki quickly stopped him, saying:

"Where is Yukino going?"

Yukino Yukinoshita said expressionlessly:

"I'll go ask Kaguya-san."

"Don't go." Natsuki Amamiya grabbed Yukino's arm, her voice filled with grievance. "Don't you trust me at all?"

“You’re right.” Yukino Yukinoshita said expressionlessly, her eyes filled with disdain. “I only believe Kaguya-san.”

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

really.

The smarter a girl is, the harder she is to fool.

Amamiya Natsuki coughed twice, then said:

"Okay, actually we can skip the kissing part..."

"Ah."

Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms and looked at her with disdain.

"I just wanted to share some life lessons with Yukino." Amamiya Natsuki raised her right hand and said seriously, "Girls should protect themselves when they are out and about and not trust strangers."

"You only learn from your mistakes."

“Oyuki has been tricked once, so she naturally won’t be tricked again.”

Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to hit someone after hearing this, and couldn't help but grit her teeth and say:

"...Shameless!"

Natsuki Amamiya's tone was innocent:

"I did it all for Yukino's own good."

"……brazen!"
