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

Amamiya Natsuki said from the side:

"Then let's play for another half hour."

Xiao Kui immediately became happy:

"Thank you, Father!"

"Junior brother," Senior Sister Yanzi puffed out her pink cheeks slightly and whispered, "spoiling children is not a good thing."

Amamiya Natsuki leaned close to her senior's ear and whispered:

"I feel mainly gratified."

"Huh?" Senior Yanzi was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

“It’s not good if children are too obedient and do whatever adults ask them to do,” Natsuki Amamiya said in a low voice. “The truth is, the ability to act cute means that children feel more secure.”

"Hmm..." Senior Sister Yanzi raised her right hand, tucked a strand of hair that had fallen beside her ear behind her ear, and nodded gently, "That makes some sense."

Amamiya Natsuki asked curiously:

"Didn't you ever act spoiled with your parents when you were little, senior?"

"...Of course I have."

Feeling guilty, Senior Sister Yanzi turned her head away and looked elsewhere.

Amamiya Natsuki raised her right hand, gently patted her senior's head, and said softly:

"You can act cute with me from now on, senior."

"No way!" Senior Yanzi blushed slightly and couldn't help but retort, "I'm a year older than you, okay?"

“So what if I’m a year older?” Natsuki Amamiya said matter-of-factly. “Isn’t it perfectly natural for a mother to act cute towards her father?”

Senior Sister Yanzi blushed and scolded him:

"So she's not the real Mrs. Dasang!"

Amamiya Natsuki lowered her head and complained to Aoi, "Aoi, Mom said she doesn't want me anymore."

The little girl immediately tensed up, quickly hugging Amamiya Natsuki with one arm and her senior with the other, looking pitiful as she said:

"Mom, don't leave Duosang."

"Xiao Kui, don't be afraid, I was just joking..." Senior Sister Yanzi quickly smiled, "No, don't be sad."

Amamiya Natsuki shook her head and said:

"I don't forgive."

"Eh?"

“My senior just abandoned me, and now she’s asking me to come back. My heart is deeply wounded.” Amamiya Natsuki clutched her chest. “I won’t forgive you unless you kiss me.”

Senior Sister Yanzi gritted her teeth, glaring at him with embarrassment and anger:

"Junior, don't push your luck!"

Amamiya Natsuki lowered her head and complained to her daughter:

"Xiao Kui, look, Mom is scolding me again."

The little girl timidly looked up and pleaded softly:

"Mom, don't be so mean."

"I won't yell at him anymore."

Senior Yanzi took a deep breath and couldn't help but clench her fists, wanting to hit someone.

You actually complained to your daughter! How shameless of you!

Amamiya Natsuki smiled, pointed to her cheek, and said casually:

"Senior, hurry up!"

"Let's kiss!"

Senior Yanzi blushed and leaned over to kiss Amamiya Natsuki on the cheek.

"Mommy, I want a kiss too!"

The little girl looked over with a hopeful expression.

"..."

Before we knew it, it was 10 p.m.

This time, Senior Sister Yanzi gave a firm order: "That's enough for today. Children are growing at night, so they can't stay up all night."

"Oh."

Xiao Kui nodded obediently, this time not saying she wanted to continue playing, but instead saying:

"Dear father, shall we sleep together tonight?"

Xiao Kui said with a face full of anticipation:

"Just like back home, I sleep in the middle, and my parents and mother sleep on either side of me."

The so-called 'old home' is actually the eerie old house where they played the parent-child game in the nightmare. In order to influence their adopted daughter with love, Amamiya Natsuki and her senior slept with Aoi every day.

"that……"

Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Yanzi blushed and immediately wanted to refuse.

However, faced with her daughter's expectant eyes, the words of refusal welled up in her mouth, but she simply couldn't say them.

"I have no objection." Seeing her senior looking over, Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said, "It was just a few days ago, but it feels like it happened a long time ago."

Senior Yanzi's eyes widened slightly as she couldn't help but recall the scenes from her nightmare.

A gray and white world.

A gloomy old house.

I put myself in Kayako's shoes.

Xiao Kui is the daughter of an evil spirit.

In the nightmare, the whole world consisted only of the three of them, truly spending every day together, accompanying each other. Although the time was short, they were actually very happy.

"Alright then..." Senior Yanzi agreed softly, her eyes gentle, and she patted her daughter's little head. "We'll sleep together tonight."

After a quick wash, the three of them went to the senior's room.

The large bed is exceptionally soft; it could easily sleep three people.

"Junior, turn off the lights."

Senior Sister Yanzi sat on the bed and said softly.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded, turned off the bedside lamp, and Aoi slept in the middle, while he and his senior slept on either side.

"Dear Father, I want to hear a story."

Xiao Kui hugged the doll, her voice filled with anticipation.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Then tell me a story, and then go to sleep."

"Mmm-hmm," the little girl said expectantly, "I want to hear the story of Snow White!"

Amamiya Natsuki paused for a moment, then said:

"Long, long ago, there was a kingdom covered in ice and snow. The king and queen had a daughter named Snow White. Snow White's dream from childhood to adulthood was to become the king."

"But she waited and waited, and the queen just wouldn't die."

"Finally, one day, Snow White reached her limit and shouted, 'Is there any prince who will reign for seventy years?' Then, in a fit of rage, she uprooted the willow tree outside the palace, picked up the tree, and charged into the palace, fighting her way in and out seven times..."

"Snow White is amazing!"

Xiao Kui opened her eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise.

"Junior, don't set a bad example for the children," Senior Sister Yanzi said reproachfully with bright eyes.

Amamiya Natsuki changed the subject:

"Okay, let Mom continue the story."

"Hey, that..."

Senior Sister Yanzi had no choice but to continue making things up, but the story became much less engaging.

After a while.

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly flipped over, quietly moved from the left to the right, and then hugged Tsubaki-senpai tightly.

"Wait, wait a minute..." Senior Yanzi said nervously, "Xiao Kui hasn't arrived yet..."

"Aoi is already asleep." Amamiya Natsuki hugged her senior from behind and whispered, "Listen if you don't believe me."

Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Yanzi listened closely and indeed found that her daughter's breathing had become even; she had fallen asleep sometime earlier.

"Is my story really that boring...?"

The senior student was a little discouraged.

Amamiya Natsuki said softly:

"Only children like to hear epic stories, unlike me."

"What does my junior like to listen to?"

Senior Yanzi glanced at her from the side.

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said:

"I only like being intimate with my senior."

"Pooh!"

The senior student blushed slightly, spat lightly, and gently pushed him away:

"Go away, go back to sleep."
