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

Hayasaka Ai glanced at her phone screen, turned and walked outside: "I'll go tell the driver to prepare the car."

Click.

Bite the lollipop directly into pieces.

The day before yesterday at noon, the young lady suddenly disappeared from the villa and could not be found no matter what she did. As her personal maid, this was an unforgivable dereliction of duty!

Natsuki Amamiya.

It's necessary to strip this boy naked and thoroughly investigate him inside and out.

Chapter 116 Ramune Soda

After half an hour.

zoo.

Kaguya Shinomiya had barely stepped into the zoo when she received a game notification.

[Congratulations, player! You have discovered the large-scale dungeon 'Zoo Ghost Stories']

This instance is about to open; please prepare accordingly.

"Eh?"

Kaguya Shinomiya paused slightly in her steps.

The blizzard-swept mountain lodge incident had only been over a few days ago, and now we're facing another dungeon, and a 'large-scale dungeon' like none before...

Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly remembered the horoscope reading program she had watched when she woke up that morning.

Today is definitely not a good day to go out.

"what happened?"

Hayasaka Ai tilted her head and looked over.

"It's nothing." Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head gently, her expression unchanged. "Let's go see the pandas."

Since we're already here, there's no point in regretting it now.

As she entered the zoo, the bustling crowd of visitors came into view, and Kaguya Shinomiya hesitated slightly.

With so many people at the zoo, finding someone would obviously be very difficult...

"Natsuki and the others are at the monkey enclosure. Miss, you can just go there directly."

Hayasaka Ai saw through Kaguya's thoughts at a glance.

"how do you know?"

Kaguya Shinomiya looked on curiously.

Hayasaka Ai shook her phone and casually said, "Haimon and I are classmates, so it's normal for me to know her whereabouts, right?"

"..."

at the same time.

Monkey enclosure.

“I recognize them, those monkeys are gibbons.” Kitagawa Kaimu gripped the railing, her voice clear and crisp. “With arms that long, it’s definitely true.”

“A monkey is a monkey, and an ape is an ape.” Looking at the black gibbon in the ape enclosure, Natsuki Amamiya remarked, “They’re clearly not the same kind of creature.”

"Huh?" Yurikawa looked over in surprise. "They're not even the same creature. They look so alike. I always thought monkeys were apes."

Of course not! The differences are so huge, they don't look like the same kind of creature at all!

“Monkeys have tails, apes don’t,” Jianzi explained, revealing the way to distinguish them.

"You're so smart!" exclaimed her best friend.

Seeing that Zi was speechless, he said, "So this is just common sense, isn't it?"

"..."

"It suddenly reminded me of Luffy from One Piece," Kitagawa Kaimu said while taking pictures with his phone. "The prototype for Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit is actually these gibbons, right?"

“Unfortunately, that’s not the case.” Natsuki Amamiya rubbed the bridge of his nose. “The prototype of the Gum-Gum Fruit is clearly Reed from the Fantastic Four, who can turn any part of his body into rubber.”

The first issue of the Fantastic Four comic was published in 1961. Oda-sensei wasn't even born then, so you could say he grew up watching the Fantastic Four!

Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"Don't mention the Gum-Gum Fruit anymore."

"Hey, why?"

"The Gum-Gum Fruit awakened in yesterday's latest chapter. It is now the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Nika form."

"Amazing!"

The blonde bombshell crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes sparkling. "I haven't read the latest chapter of the manga yet. I'll buy it as soon as I'm done at the zoo!"

"I want to see it too." Yurikawa Hana turned to her best friend, "Luffy's Devil Fruit has finally awakened! Miko, shall we go buy the manga together?"

Yotsuya Miko turned her face away: "...I've already seen it."

Yurikawa blinked and quickly guessed the truth: "The comic book that Miko was reading at Natsuki's house?"

"Ah."

Moreover, the two of them watched the latest chapter together, side by side.

"..."

After visiting the monkey exhibit, the group continued walking.

It was almost noon, and the temperature in the zoo was getting higher and higher.

Amamiya Natsuki felt a little thirsty: "I'll go buy some drinks, what would you like to drink?"

"green tea."

"Cola."

"100% strawberry juice".

"..."

After Natsuki Amamiya wrote it down, he told Miko and the others to continue queuing while he went to buy a drink. Soon after, he saw a vending machine.

After buying the drinks, Natsuki Amamiya was about to leave when she suddenly felt a strangely familiar gaze fall upon her.

Looking up, I saw a girl in a black dress standing not far away, her hair tied up with a red ribbon in a large bow at the back of her head.

It was so beautiful that it attracted the attention of tourists in the vicinity.

"Kaguya-san?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked surprised.

Kaguya Shinomiya glanced away for a moment, only to find that Ai Hayasaka had vanished without a trace, leaving her all alone.

I was planning to sneak a peek, but I got caught red-handed as soon as I got to the monkey enclosure. My luck was really bad today!

Hide... It's too late.

Stay steady.

Don't panic.

Kaguya Shinomiya took a quiet breath, quickly calmed herself down, and walked to Natsuki Amamiya's side, saying in a nonchalant tone:

"Natsuki-san, what are you doing at the zoo?"

Mainly anti-customer!

By proactively asking questions, the roles of both parties are reversed, allowing the individual to take the lead.

"Kimiko's younger brother Kyosuke wanted to come to the zoo, and I had nothing else to do, so I came along."

Natsuki Amamiya spoke the truth without any guilt.

"I heard there were pandas, so I came." Kaguya Shinomiya quickly changed the subject, glossing over her own situation. "When I entered the zoo, I received a notification for the Zoo Ghost Stories game. Did you receive it too?"

"Received." Natsuki Amamiya nodded. "The exact opening time is still unclear. We'll talk about it when it opens... Are you coming alone?"

"Ah."

"That together?"

"it is good."

Although the situation has changed from observing from the shadows to acting together, it's acceptable.

"Give me a drink." Natsuki Amamiya handed over the drink she was holding.

Kaguya Shinomiya's gaze fell on the marble soda, her eyes showing a hint of curiosity.

"Here you go." Natsuki Amamiya handed over the marble soda. "You've had some, haven't you?"

Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head: "No."

You've never even tried marble soda? Are you from Mars?!

This is a national beverage, also known as ramune soda. There are countless related comics and works, such as "Bammon Police", "Chitose-san in a Marble Bottle", and "Girl Ramune Soda"... cross that out.

In short, everyone from Japan has definitely drunk ramune (marble soda).

Natsuki Amamiya handed Kaguya a bottle of ramune, then turned around and bought another one, demonstrating how to drink ramune: "Drink it like this."

"I just haven't drunk it, not that I haven't seen others drink it."

So don't speak to kindergarten children like you're teaching them!

Kaguya Shinomiya unscrewed the bottle cap, glanced at the marbles inside, then tilted her pretty face slightly and took a sip of marble soda.

The sweet and sour grape flavor quickly spread on the tip of the tongue.

Taking a small sip, Kaguya Shinomiya turned her gaze to Natsuki Amamiya.

A cool summer breeze was blowing.

The boy in the sunlight was also drinking soda. His wispy bangs and slightly twitching Adam's apple made for a rather handsome profile, which made her take a second look.
