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

"If possible, I'd like to know what the secret mission entails."

"Senior, it's been two days already, why haven't we heard anything yet?"

"Ahhh, senior, please don't ignore me. I'll do anything as long as you reply to my messages."

Looking at the string of messages from her sister beast, Natsuki Amamiya thought for a moment and decided to reply:

"Mission complete, just turned on."

After a few seconds.

My phone buzzed: "Ahhh! My senior finally replied!"

Fujiwara Moeha: "Senpai, are you with my sister?"

Natsuki Amamiya: "Chika is fine, everyone is fine, don't worry. She probably forgot to turn her phone on because she didn't reply to my messages."

Fujiwara Moeha: "That's good... What mission did you and my sister go on? I want to know! I really want to know!"

Natsuki Amamiya: "Ask your sister."

Fujiwara Moeha: "My sister isn't replying to my messages. I want to know right now, I don't want to wait even a second longer! I'll do anything for you, senpai!"

Natsuki Amamiya: "Really, anything is possible?"

Fujiwara Moeha: "That's right!"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"What if we did something lewd?"

"Eh?!" Fujiwara Moeha was only a middle school student after all, and she was very shy. When she encountered Shizue, she could only run away in a panic. "Goodbye, senpai. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now!"

"It's finally quiet."

Natsuki Amamiya breathed a sigh of relief; the days without the barrage of text messages were wonderful again.

Following Mengye, several other junior high school students who had previously interacted with her also sent messages, but they were all just polite greetings.

Then came the meeting with the child.

There weren't many messages, mostly photos of him walking his dog. The last message was from two hours ago, telling him to reply as soon as he got back.

"Moxi Moxi~"

Natsuki Amamiya dialed the phone.

"Natsuki?"

The call connected instantly, and I heard my son's relieved and joyful voice in my ear.

"Excuse me, I'm a staff member of the Ghost Stories Management Bureau." Natsuki Amamiya lowered her voice and said in a deep voice, "Natsuki-kun's condition is very bad."

Jianzi's voice immediately tensed up:

"What, what's wrong?"

Natsuki Amamiya said in a serious tone:

"Natsuki-kun is unconscious for unknown reasons. Some players have suggested that he needs a loving call to wake him up, so we hope that Ms. Miko can cooperate to wake Natsuki-kun up."

Seeing that Zi had acted decisively:

"Where are you? I'm coming right now!"

Natsuki Amamiya continued:

“Natsuki’s condition is deteriorating and we need to hurry up and wake him up as soon as possible. So we hope that Ms. Miko can say it on the phone and we will put the phone to Natsuki’s ear.”

"..."

Seeing that Zi remained silent for a few seconds, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said:

"fraud!"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Miss Miko, please calm down. We are not liars. Natsuki-kun's current situation is indeed very dangerous."

Jianzi: "If you're not a scammer, then show me the video."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"I'm sorry, Natsuki-kun's condition is very bad right now. Turning on the video abruptly might make you uncomfortable."

"You idiot Natsuki, you're still lying to me!" Miko gritted her teeth, her voice filled with murderous intent. "Just you wait until we get home!"

Ok.

It seems their identities have truly been exposed.

Amamiya Natsuki abandoned her voice disguise, revealing her original tone, and asked curiously:

How could Jianzi discover the truth?

Jianzi complained:

"Kaguya just sent a message saying that you have all left the hotel safely, everyone is safe and sound, and no one is unconscious!"

Amamiya Natsuki sighed deeply and said:

"It turns out that Heaven is going to destroy me, not because of my failure in battle."

"Pooh!"

"..."

After finishing my phone call with Miko, I happened to walk to the convenience store.

Natsuki Amamiya bought some cold drinks, ice cream, and small cakes, then returned to the hotel intersection and ate with her senior, Aoi.

Just after we finished eating, Ms. Mitsui came over and said softly:

"Natsuki-kun, there's news about Aoi's family..."

At this point, Ms. Mitsui fell silent and turned to look at the elementary school student happily eating ice cream.

Natsuki Amamiya understood, gave her senior a reassuring look, and then whispered:

"Let's talk over there."

"it is good."

"..."

The two came to the corner.

Miss Mitsui raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and then said:

"The advance team of players who entered the hotel the day before yesterday have been found. None of them are in any danger, but they are in low spirits and will recover after a period of rest."

"But the situation is not good for the regular guests who checked into the hotel early."

"It's normal that things aren't going well; there really are nightmares in the hotel..."

Natsuki Amamiya describes the dangers of the hotel ghost stories.

Nightmares reside in every room.

Once trapped in a nightmare, if one cannot wake up, one will remain immersed in it until one breaks down.

“I see.” Ms. Mitsui patted her chest gently. “No wonder the medical staff said that most of the guests were mentally confused, completely irrational, and exhibited many typical symptoms of mental breakdown.”

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"What about the other guests?"

Miss Mitsui paused for a moment, then said in a low voice:

"Some guests have died because they haven't had any food or water in their rooms for a long time... It's not Natsuki's fault, please don't worry about it."

"It wasn't my fault to begin with. In fact, we've already saved most of the people," Natsuki Amamiya said calmly and nonchalantly. "Of course, I won't take it to heart."

Ms. Mitsui: "..."

This is the truth.

Natsuki Amamiya does not agree with the saying "With great power comes great responsibility".

It's just a slogan; you can just shout it. Only a fool would take it seriously.

Perhaps true idealists would sacrifice everything for others, but Natsuki Amamiya doesn't consider herself to be that level of enlightenment.

Sacrificing everything for the young lady and Chika is no problem, but ordinary people who have no connection with them can only lend a helping hand if they can.

Sacrificing myself to save a stranger... I'm sorry, I really can't do that.

If even the harem is to be opened openly, one can imagine how morally questionable Natsuki Amamiya is.

He didn't want to be a superhero; being a despicable person, a shameless person, and someone who could take care of the people around him was enough.

Ms. Mitsui coughed twice, tacitly ending the topic, and continued:

"Xiao Kui's family has been investigated and found out; her mother is Caihua from Hebei..."

"Hebei Caihua?"

Amamiya Natsuki's expression was slightly strange. For some reason, she felt that the name sounded inexplicably familiar.

A strange code name, ssis, popped into my mind...

"Miss Hebei is 29 years old this year. She works as a real estate salesperson and comes from a single-parent family. At present, no information about Xiao Kui's father has been found."

After a pause, Ms. Mitsui continued:

"According to the investigation, in addition to her job as a real estate salesperson, Ms. Hebei also had a part-time job... She was on the fourth floor of the hotel, discussing a house sale with a middle-aged male guest."

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder when I and my senior entered the room, there was only one elementary school student inside; the mother had gone to another room to do part-time work.

Amamiya Natsuki remained calm, unaware of others' suffering and not easily judging a person, and said softly:

"and then?"

Miss Mitsui said softly:

"Ms. Hebei is also currently suffering from a mental breakdown and has lost the ability to judge and perceive the outside world. Medical staff say that they can only provide conservative treatment and the recovery time is uncertain."
