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

Kaguya Shinomiya, wearing an apron and with a towel wrapped around her head, was mopping the floor. The once pampered young lady, who couldn't even crack an egg, was now almost ready to graduate from her bridal training.

"Woooo..."

The silly dog ​​wagged its tail and whimpered as it rushed over to welcome Natsuki Amamiya.

As for Mrs. Kaguya, she had already sat on the sofa, holding a tablet in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, beginning her ghostly otaku life.

"I'm here to help."

Amamiya Natsuki gave the dog a perfunctory pat on the head, then picked up the tools and started cleaning with the young lady.

buzzing.

The phone suddenly vibrated in the living room.

Amamiya Natsuki happened to be mopping the floor nearby. She glanced at her phone and then said:

"Kaguya, it's your phone."

"it is good."

Kaguya Shinomiya walked over, picked up her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and slightly furrowed her brows.

The caller's contact name was 'Third Brother', which was undoubtedly Shinomiya Un'ei.

Since their 'breakup' at the Shinomiya residence, the two sides have had no contact whatsoever. Now that he's suddenly calling, I wonder what he'll say.

After hesitating for two seconds, Kaguya Shinomiya decided to answer the phone.

After saying a few words in a low voice, Kaguya Shinomiya put down her phone, let out a soft breath, gently bit her lip, and whispered:

“My third brother called me home for dinner and said he would make up for the living expenses he hadn’t given me before.”

A sentence popped into Natsuki Amamiya's mind:

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Previously, when Kaguya ran away from home, her family cut off her living expenses and didn't send her a single message during that time. Now, they're suddenly playing the family card, so they must have something on their mind.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the young lady and said:

"Shall we go back for dinner?"

"I'm not going back." Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head gently. "It's too hot. I don't want to run around. Besides, I don't enjoy eating there."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Then I won't go back."

“That’s right.” Mrs. Kaguya sat on the sofa and held up one finger. “I recently saw a term on Twitter that I think makes a lot of sense. It’s called ‘decluttering’. Anything in your life that causes you pain and keeps you mentally drained, throw it away as far away as possible.”

"Don't go to places you don't want to go, don't eat meals you don't want to eat, and don't do anything that will make Kaguya unhappy," Mrs. Kaguya said with a smile. "Anyway, Natsuki will take care of you."

"Mom, what are you saying!" Kaguya Shinomiya blushed and couldn't help but exclaim, "I can support myself!"

Mrs. Kaguya tilted her head, looked at Natsuki Amamiya, and said with a smile:

"What did Xiaoxiashu say?"

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

"If I had a strawberry, I would give the whole strawberry to Kaguya, and I would eat the strawberry's butt."

Kaguya Shinomiya blushed and scolded, "President is exaggerating too much!"

After a while.

The phone rang again.

Kaguya Shinomiya furrowed her brows slightly, answered the phone, whispered a few words, and then let out a soft sigh:

"It's my second brother... He's calling me back for dinner too."

A little while later, the phone rang for the third time. Kaguya Shinomiya frowned and answered the call again.

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and looked over, then remarked:

"I'm guessing it's your older brother?"

"Hmm." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded gently, sat back on the sofa, and said softly, "They... know my player identity now."

"I see."

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly realized.

The Shinomiya family is a well-known conglomerate in Japan, a typical "rich patriarch". The strategy of countries around the world is to uniformly block information about ghost stories in order to maintain stability and prevent ordinary people from knowing. However, as rich patriarchs, the three sons of the Shinomiya family naturally have channels to learn about the news.

The Kabuki Ichiban-gai ghost stories, coupled with the nightmare ghost stories in the hotel, both took place in Tokyo, so it's quite normal that those people knew Kaguya's player identity.

Although several thousand players have already registered, the population of Japan Island is over 100 million, so players are one in a million. If someone in your family is a player, and a very strong one at that, then of course you should cultivate a good relationship with them.

In a word.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

One of the Shinomiya family's precepts is to exploit others by any means necessary, but now that she has become the one being exploited and fought over, Shinomiya Kaguya's feelings are inevitably complicated.

"If you don't want to go, then you don't have to go." Mrs. Kaguya hugged the young lady and said gently, "Your mother and Natsuki will always stand by your side."

“I know,” Kaguya Shinomiya nodded gently. “But they said they haven’t visited Father in a long time… We plan to visit him together tomorrow.”

Amamiya Natsuki raised her hand and said:

"Should I come along?"

"Huh?" Kaguya Shinomiya looked over in confusion. "What's the student council president doing?"

Natsuki Amamiya said in a serious tone:

"Is it reasonable for me to visit my future father-in-law?"

"What...what is the president saying?!" Kaguya Shinomiya blushed and couldn't help but exclaim, "I'll go there myself tomorrow, you can stay home!"

"..."

Silent all night.

the next day.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Seeing that Zi was as usual, he quietly got up and slipped home.

Amamiya Natsuki got up, went to the restroom first, and then lay down next to the young lady.

Massage is very necessary and must be done consistently; it cannot be stopped even for a single day.

For example, Hayasaka and Zhu Zhu used to be unable to afford A-cups, but now they can afford them completely.

"Well……"

Sensing the movement behind her, Kaguya Shinomiya trembled slightly, a delicate blush involuntarily rising to her pretty face, before she continued to pretend to be asleep.

As long as I don't wake up, I won't know anything, and the chairman can do whatever he wants. Otherwise, I definitely won't be able to resist slapping the chairman away.

If I keep going, I can grow up like Hayasaka, right?

Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but think of Ai Hayasaka.

We were all at the same level before, but on the deserted island, Hayasaka is clearly a size bigger than me. It must be because of the student council president, right?

Kaguya Shinomiya closed her eyes, and images of Natsuki Amamiya and Hayasaka flashed through her mind, and then... the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Snapped!

The silly young lady slapped Amamiya Natsuki's arm and sat up.

"what happened?"

Amamiya Natsuki was somewhat bewildered.

I can usually get a massage, but why did they stop giving me one at the very beginning today?

"I can't sleep!" Kaguya Shinomiya puffed out her cheeks. "I'm going to walk the dog in the park!"

"..."

Today was the day to visit the old man of the Shinomiya family, so around nine o'clock, Shinomiya Kaguya changed her clothes and went out under the sun.

Amamiya Natsuki didn't stay home all day either. She followed Kaguya out and first went to the Ghost Story Management Bureau to attach skills to the official players. Then she went to attach healing skills to Mizuhara Chizuru. After finishing the chores, it was already past eleven o'clock.

On her way back, Natsuki Amamiya was thinking about what to eat for lunch when a sweet and pleasant unfamiliar voice suddenly reached her ears:

"Is that Xiaoxiashu?"

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and saw a beautiful, tall, black-haired woman with short hair, carrying a vegetable basket on her arm.

"Good morning, Aunt Xiuzi."

Natsuki Amamiya bowed and immediately recognized the black-haired lady.

She was Shoko's mother; they had met a few times before, but hadn't spoken much.

Hideko Komi's expression turned serious, and she raised her chin, saying:

"Don't call me auntie."

"Ok?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked over in confusion.

Mrs. Komi smiled radiantly and flashed a peace sign: "I'm forever seventeen."

My daughter is already seventeen! Where did you come from, some kind of magical girl?!

When they met before, Natsuki Amamiya noticed that Shoko and her mother had different personalities. Now, after only exchanging one sentence, it's clear that the mother and daughter's personalities are worlds apart.

Natsuki Amamiya readily agreed and called out again:

"Good morning, Sister Xiuzi."

"Hahaha." Mrs. Komi raised her hand to cover her mouth and laughed, clearly quite satisfied with Amamiya Natsuki's sensible attitude. She smiled and said, "Little Natsuki, did you come here to play with Shoko?"

"that……"

"Shoko's at home, why don't you come over for lunch?"

Mrs. Komi was exceptionally warm.
