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

It was still early before dark, and it was impossible to carry the deer and goose back like this. So after a brief discussion, everyone decided to leave the deer and goose behind and continue exploring other bosses. When they returned, if the deer and goose were still in the same place, they would carry it back directly.

The operation continues.

The four quickly found the second boss.

This is a dire wolf boss. Although it's called a wolf, it looks somewhat like a wild boar.

Without saying a word, Natsuki Amamiya picked up her axe and went outside, ready to collect another batch of data.

The wolf king was much weaker, but very fast, with a mouth full of sharp fangs. Unlike the game settings, it couldn't summon smaller wolves out of thin air, so it was defeated by the group in no time.

“We don’t need to fight the next boss.” Natsuki Amamiya put away her axe. “We can just observe them secretly.”

"..."

The operation continues.

The four then roamed the island, finding all sorts of monster bosses, such as the Fruit Fly King, Ant Lion, Dried Bear, and Giant Deer. Unfortunately, the hints clearly indicated that these things were just nightmare monsters, not the real entities of the legend.

"There's still one area we haven't searched," Fujiwara Chika said softly. "It's that mosquito swamp that the president and Yukino mentioned. Shall we go there now?"

“That swamp…” Amamiya Natsuki slightly moved the corners of her mouth, then shook her head and said, “It’s getting dark, let’s stop here for today and figure out a way to get into the swamp tomorrow.”

Even the colossal bear, which Amamiya Natsuki was not afraid of, still made her scalp tingle when faced with a swarm of mosquitoes that blotted out the sky.

"Then let's go back." Fujiwara Chika's eyes brightened quickly. "Let's carry the deer and goose back first!"

Amamiya Natsuki suggested:

"It would be better to catch some crabs first."

Kaguya Shinomiya agreed:

"The president is right."

The four of them headed to the mangrove forest together.

We happened to pass by a tree hole where people were taking shelter from the hail.

“Kaguya-chan, look, look, it’s that tree hole.” Fujiwara Chika pointed and said, “We hid inside yesterday when there was such a big hailstorm.”

Upon seeing the tree hollow, Yukino Yukinoshita's pretty face involuntarily flushed red once again.

Amamiya Natsuki said nonchalantly:

"After running here yesterday, the tree hollow wasn't big enough. I had to use an axe to widen it, even in the face of hail, just to have a barely enough place to hide. But..."

Amamiya Natsuki paused slightly, glanced at Yukino, and then continued:

"But it felt really good. My first time being stranded on a deserted island and my first time taking shelter from a hailstorm in a tree hole are both interesting memories worth keeping."

"...Vulgar and shameless!"

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flashed with embarrassment and anger, and she almost gritted her teeth to pieces.

If it weren't for Chika and Kaguya being there, they would have kicked him long ago!

We arrived at the mangrove area.

The group easily caught the crab and then headed back home. On the way, they also carried the deer and goose back. The BOSS lay quietly on the ground and was not stolen by other monsters.

Return to the cave.

New mushrooms cool down and appear.

While the girls were washing the ingredients, Natsuki Amamiya called Hayasaka aside and planted mushrooms...

Chapter 737 Hayasaka Ai: I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean.

It's getting dark.

The fourth day of our survival on the desert island is coming to an end.

After Natsuki Amamiya planted the mushrooms for Hayasaka, the two returned to the cave together.

The fire flickered.

Combined with the aroma of food roasting over flames, it inexplicably gives one a sense of homey warmth.

"President."

“Natsuki-kun.”

"Hayasaka, you're back!"

When they saw Natsuki Amamiya and Hayasaka return, the girls who were grilling food around the fire looked up and greeted them.

"You're back." Amamiya Natsuki walked to the young lady's side, sat down on the handmade futon, and looked at Chika kneeling opposite her. "How's the baking going?"

Making tables, chairs, and benches by hand is out of the question, but I can manage to make a futon. Sitting on it feels quite nice, definitely more comfortable than sitting directly on a rock.

“It feels like it’s still a little bit off.” Fujiwara Chika’s eyes were bright as she continued to turn the goose meat in her hands. “President, wait a little longer. You eat the crab first.”

Amamiya Natsuki picked up a crab claw that had been grilled to a golden-red color, cracked open the hard shell to reveal the tender white crab meat inside, and then handed the claw to the young lady beside her:

"Here you go, you can eat now."

"Thank you, President."

Kaguya Shinomiya responded softly and took the crab claw.

I went to the mangrove forest to catch crabs a couple of days ago. I caught them all whole, but most of them are inedible.

So today, at Qianhua's suggestion, everyone only broke off the crab claws and brought them back—similar to Florida stone crabs, only the claws are taken, not the body.

Fortunately, the crab claws were large enough, and after being grilled, they tasted quite good. A few crab claws were enough to fill each person up.

I must say, it's much easier to clean now.

"Senior, here's your crab claw."

Amamiya Natsuki crushed another crab claw and handed it to Senior Swallow.

"Thank you, junior." Senior Yanzi thanked her softly, took the crab claw, handed it to her adopted daughter, and said gently, "Xiao Kui, you eat first."

Before her awakening, the senior student was inexplicably close to Xiao Kui. After awakening today, she recalled their 'mother-daughter' relationship and naturally took even better care of Xiao Kui.

"Zhu Zhu, your crab."

"Humph."

"Shoku, have two of these."

"..."

Each crab claw is the size of an adult's palm, and most people can't crack it open. So for the past few days, Natsuki Amamiya has been helping to crush the crab claws and then distribute them to everyone.

"Sister Yang, here's your crab claw."

Amamiya Natsuki broke off another crab claw and handed it to Haruno.

"Thank you, Natsuki-kun~"

Yukinoshita smiled sweetly and thanked her softly.

When she took the crab claw, she subtly hooked Amamiya Natsuki's palm with her little finger when no one was looking.

Natsuki Amamiya remained outwardly calm, glancing at Yukino sitting next to Haruno, her eyes conveying a signal:

"Your sister is after my body."

"……you shut up."

Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lip, and indeed saw Haruno's little action.

But what can she do?

Scolding my sister in front of everyone?

Of course not.

"Yukino-kun, here's your crab."

Amamiya Natsuki handed over the crab claw in her hand.

Yukino Yukinoshita had no choice but to accept it. After all, everyone else wanted it, and if she refused, it would definitely arouse suspicion. She could only reach out and take it.

then……

When no one was looking, Natsuki Amamiya secretly tickled Yukino's palm.

Yukino Yukinoshita's black hair trembled slightly. She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, took the crab claw, and then cast a sharp, warning glance at him.

"Stop this! Don't push your luck!"

"Yes Yes."

"..."

After everyone had finished eating the crab claws and was almost full, the roasted goose leg that Fujiwara Chika had been longing for was finally successfully roasted.

then……

"So hard."

My mouth is already hurting.

"This won't do. If this continues, I won't be able to speak tomorrow."

"I can't eat it, I simply can't eat it."

"..."

It turns out.

Natsuki Amamiya's previous statement about the rules for eating wild animals was not wrong.

The larger and older the wild animal, the less palatable it is.

For example, the deer goose that Secretary Qianhua had been longing for was roasted for so long that it tasted like chewing on rubber. It was impossible to chew, and it didn't have any of the smooth, tender, and bouncy textures that she had imagined.

The same applies to turkeys.

This is a must-have food for Thanksgiving in the West. It looks greasy and comes in huge portions, but no one in China wants to eat it.

Is it because it's too expensive?
