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

If Yukino saw the two of them like this, she would definitely explode!

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Suddenly, Chika's bright shout came from afar:

"We're back!"

Natsuki Amamiya looked in the direction of the sound and soon saw Kaguya, Chika, Yukino, and Hayasaka. The four girls were returning from hunting together, each carrying a string of crab legs, a truly bountiful harvest.

What is the blissful life of surviving on a desert island?

Enjoy a massage from Yang Nai in the cave, admire the grass skirts and stockings, and watch people go out hunting. You can do nothing and reap the benefits.

This is happiness.

"It's Chika-chan!"

"Everyone's finally back!"

The two sides were naturally quite happy to reunite.

"Hey, senior, what are you guys wearing?"

Fujiwara Chika opened her eyes wide and asked curiously.

"Ahem..." Zian Yan coughed lightly twice, covering her chest, her pretty face slightly flushed as she explained, "After we finished collecting firewood, we were taking a bath at the beach when a hurricane suddenly blew up, and all our clothes were blown away. We had no choice but to ask Glass-chan to make a few grass skirts."

"I see." Fujiwara Chika suddenly realized, turning to look at Komi-chan with sparkling eyes, "Shoko-chan, do you have any spare grass skirts?"

"Eh?"

Komi was taken aback.

Fujiwara Chika raised her right hand and said in a clear voice:

"I want to wear it too!"

As expected of Chika, she never stagnates or dislikes new things, but is always willing to try and experience them.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Chika and praised her:

"I'll give you a pair of stockings for free, black or white, it doesn't matter."

Fujiwara Chika: "I want black stockings, not white stockings!"

Amamiya Natsuki then looked at Kaguya and Yukino and asked:

"Would you like to try them on? Shoko made several spare grass skirts beforehand."

Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms and said:

"I can just put on my clothes; the chairman can experience it for himself."

Yukino Yukinoshita remained expressionless and coldly said:

"unnecessary."

Hayasaka Ai covered her chest with both hands and said:

"I'm somewhat interested, provided the president doesn't peek."

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

"Don't worry, I'll watch it openly and honestly."

"Bah~"

"..."

After they reunited, everyone started talking about what had happened since they separated.

As expected, the hurricane disaster that had just ended swept across the entire island, and Kaguya and the others were also hit by the hurricane on their way back.

While Natsuki Amamiya and the others were able to hide in the cave, Kaguya and her companions were in the wilderness with nowhere to hide. In the end, they could only flee into the shadows and barely managed to hold out until the hurricane ended.

"Luckily, we're not ordinary people," Fujiwara Chika complained. "With hail, hurricanes, and all sorts of monsters and bosses, ordinary people wouldn't have lasted this long."

"Zhu Zhu mentioned before that there are many different natural disaster modes in the game Don't Starve, such as the Winter... Waaah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Natsuki Amamiya quickly reached out and covered Chika's delicate lips.

"That's enough, don't say anything more."

Kaguya Shinomiya turned to look at her: "Chika, don't jinx it."

Hayasaka Ai clasped her hands together and said, "Chika-chan, please, please stop making promises you can't keep."

Fujiwara Chika: “…”

What happened next is self-evident.

Although much of the wood stored in the cave was soaked by the rain, and the distilled fresh water could not be brought back to the cave and was all blown away by the hurricane, as long as everyone is safe and sound, everything can start over.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

The girls finally finished their work, restored the cave to its original state, and then sat down around the campfire.

at the same time.

The mushrooms regenerated, and after a brief discussion, Natsuki Amamiya and the girls decided to plant them for Suzu.

With only Zhu Zhu and Yang Nai left, there's no longer a need to consider the order of things.

"They actually gave it to me?"

Zhu Zhu touched the mushroom on her head, her tone somewhat surprised: "I thought you would leave me for last."

Amamiya Natsuki said softly:

"If there is danger, Zhu Zhu will definitely be the first person I save. The order in which we plant mushrooms is just based on the priority of our abilities."

"Tch." Zhu Zhu's face flushed slightly, and she crossed her arms over her chest, saying, "You can use that kind of talk to fool Shoko, I won't fall for it."

Amamiya Natsuki's expression turned solemn as she said:

"Then I'll have to prove it to Zhu Zhu."

"Huh?" Zhu Zhu tilted her head up, her eyes filled with suspicion. "How are you going to prove it?"

"There's a saying that goes, 'If you like someone, you should say it out loud, instead of hiding it.'" Amamiya Natsuki took a deep breath and shouted, "I like..."

"Aaaaah! You idiot Natsuki!" Zhu Zhu's face flushed red instantly, and she quickly jumped up, covering Natsuki Amamiya's mouth with her hand. "Don't shout like that!"

Amamiya Natsuki hugged Zhu Zhu and lowered her head to say:

"Do you believe me now?"

To be a scumbag, the first thing you need to do is be shameless enough.

Zhu Zhu gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at him:

"...You're shameless!"

"It seems Zhu Zhu still doesn't believe me." Amamiya Natsuki sighed. "Then I'll continue..."

Boom!

Zhu Zhu headbutted Amamiya Natsuki in the chest, shouting in embarrassment and anger:

"Stop it, you idiot!"

"..."

Silent all night.

the next day.

In the morning, Natsuki Amamiya helped Zhu Zhu awaken her memories, and in the evening, she planted mushrooms on Haruno's sister. By then, everyone had successfully regained their memories.

"There's only one last thing left," Natsuki Amamiya said in a deep voice, "and that is to defeat the ghost stories."

Fujiwara Chika suggested:

"I remember the president has a skill called 'Extra-long Reaction Arc,' could it come in handy?"

The "Extra-Long Reaction Arc" skill, acquired from defeating the ghost story last time, is similar to a berserker mode. During its activation period, it grants immunity to pain and mental effects, but it doesn't prevent injury; rather, it delays the damage until it all bursts out after the skill ends.

“Reflex arc…” Natsuki Amamiya glanced at Hayasaka without leaving a trace, and said casually, “Reflex arc should be usable, but it’s not used enough often, so it’s not proficient enough and it’s hard to control the degree. If too much mental damage is accumulated, it might knock you unconscious under the impact… We’ll only consider using it if there’s really no other way.”

Hayasaka Ai's pretty face involuntarily flushed red, and she glared at Amamiya Natsuki with embarrassment and annoyance.

She actually uses the Reflex Arc skill more often. She even tried using Reflex Arc and Time Stop together before, and the result was that her mind went completely blank and she actually fainted.

Kaguya Shinomiya said softly:

"As for the guild leader's possession ability, we can have one group in the open and another in the shadows. Once someone is mentally corrupted and does something like attacking teammates or self-harming, we can activate the possession ability to eliminate any future troubles."

Upon hearing about the possession ability, Zhu Zhu and Xiao Zi's expressions immediately became subtle.

Zhu Zhu is alright; she's a real adult now.

Komi-kun, however, couldn't help it. Her mind was filled with the memory of the day she accidentally possessed Haimeng's body. She looked down at her toes in a panic, and even her neck involuntarily turned crimson.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly and said:

"That's something we can try."

"And another thing," Yukino Yukinoshita said softly, her right arm crossed over her chest, "The ghost story is hiding in the sea and refuses to come out. It's extremely inconvenient to move around in the sea. We should think of a way to lure it to the shore."

Hayasaka Ai raised her hand and said:

"I have a piece of equipment that, when worn, can force other creatures to taunt. It should be effective."

"Huh?" Fujiwara Chika looked over curiously. "What kind of equipment?"

"That's it."

Hayasaka Ai took out a pendant.

The pendant is a right hand with only the middle finger raised, while the other four fingers are curled up and clenched, which can be described as a fairly standard sarcastic gesture.

Amamiya Natsuki pondered:

"I have a preliminary idea, and I don't know if it's feasible."

Kaguya Shinomiya looked up at him and said softly:

"any solution?"
