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

To say they're extravagant is simply not true!

Buying so many plush toys at once, they must be gifts to give away!

Just as the silly young lady was sulking, Natsuki Amamiya suddenly had a flash of inspiration and handed Kaguya a doll:

"Give it to you."

Seeing Kaguya look up at him, Amamiya Natsuki said earnestly, "Remember to bring money when you go out in the future."

Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."

Chapter 118 Hayasaka Ai, Infiltrating Investigator

"actually……"

Kaguya Shinomiya held a panda plush toy, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

"what?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the silly young lady.

Kaguya Shinomiya looked away: "...It's nothing."

I actually brought money with me when I went out today.

The arcade incident happened suddenly; who goes out every day without money?

However... pandas are so cute, there's no reason not to accept them. I'll reciprocate later.

After buying some gifts, the group left the panda enclosure, explored the remaining exhibits, and then left the zoo.

"Hey, we made it out successfully." Kitagawa Kaimu put her hands behind her back and looked at the zoo in the sunlight. "It's about to open, just like those game companies making grand promises. Maybe it'll be a year from now..."

Amamiya Natsuki quickly interrupted:

Do you know what Murphy's Law is?

"Of course I know." Kitagawa Kaimu raised her chin, revealing a glimpse of her long, slender, white neck, and smugly hummed, "It's just that the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen."

Amamiya Natsuki sighed: "So don't be a jinx like Fujiwara."

"..."

Fortunately, the blonde bombshell's bad luck didn't trigger, and the game didn't start until she left the zoo.

The entrance to the zoo.

"How do you go back?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the silly young lady and asked in a low voice.

Kaguya Shinomiya said softly:

"A driver will be here to pick me up in a bit."

Mrs. Kaguya said gently, "Little Kaguya, remember to send a message to your mother when you get home."

I stayed up late playing on my phone again last night, which left Kaguya-sama feeling listless and she barely went out during the day.

"You have to send me the first message, or else your mom will cry."

That's enough! Tears are a fluid secreted by the lacrimal glands. You're a ghost, you don't even have an organ like the lacrimal glands!

"……I see."

Kaguya Shinomiya reluctantly agreed.

"Goodbye, Kaguya-san."

He waved goodbye to Jianzi.

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded gently: "Goodbye."

The two said their goodbyes at the zoo entrance. Kitagawa Haimu said she was going to the mall to buy something and left alone. Amamiya Natsuki, Miko, her younger brother who was in elementary school, and Yurikawa Hana went to the train station together. Soon, only Shinomiya Kaguya was left standing at the zoo entrance.

"Young Miss, it's time to go back."

Hayasaka Ai appeared out of nowhere and came to Kaguya Shinomiya's side.

Kaguya Shinomiya, clutching a panda plush toy, puffed out her pink cheeks slightly: "Why did you leave me all alone just now?"

"Of course, it's to create opportunities for the young lady." Hayasaka Ai crossed her arms, chewing on a lollipop. "Wouldn't it be more fun to go to the zoo together than to observe from the shadows?"

"You said 'together'... but there are clearly many other people here."

"Then let's ask Natsuki out alone tomorrow and go sightseeing again."

"I'm not free tomorrow."

"..."

Half past eight in the evening.

Natsuki Amamiya was watching TV when her cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hai Meng?"

Natsuki Amamiya picked up her phone, and the caller was none other than Kitagawa.

This was the first time the blonde bombshell had called since they exchanged contact information at school.

"What the heck."

"Help! Help! Help me!"

The girl's frantic cries for help reached his ears.

Amamiya Natsuki sat up straight: "Your dungeon has started?"

“It’s not a copy.” Kitagawa Kaimu’s voice was tense. “It’s the evil spirit with the scythe that I encountered on the train today. I just saw that evil spirit with the scythe downstairs in my apartment building while I was taking in the laundry on the balcony.”

Amamiya Natsuki pondered:

"Some evil spirits look very similar. Could it be that you've mistaken one for another?"

“I didn’t mistake it.” Kitagawa Kaimu said pitifully, “I saw it clearly. The evil spirit’s clothes were missing a piece, the one that was burned off by the flames this morning.”

"..."

If that's the case, it's very likely that it really is the same evil spirit.

Amamiya Natsuki guessed:

"That evil spirit might just have been passing by your building?"

"I have a feeling that the scythe-wielding evil spirit is definitely coming for me."

Kitagawa Kaimu's voice is certain.

How can you be so sure?

"A girl's seventh sense."

The Seventh Sense is a realm that only Saint Seiya can access; it has nothing to do with you!

"I clearly felt the scythe-wielding evil spirit watching me just now," Kitagawa Kaimu said, her voice filled with grievance. "It must be because of what happened on the train, so it's here to get revenge on me, right?"

"I live alone at home, and I'm afraid to stay at home now."

"Natsuki-kun, could you come to my house tonight?"

Natsuki Amamiya answered decisively:

"No."

"How heartless."

The blonde bombshell let out a pitiful, mournful cry.

Amamiya Natsuki said, "But you can come to my house."

I should definitely help.

We're barely friends, so of course I wouldn't stand by and watch someone die.

"Eh? Why?"

“Because…” Amamiya Natsuki said softly, “I’m sensitive to unfamiliar beds, and I have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar places.”

"..."

"Send me the address." Kitagawa Kaimu was incredibly efficient. "I'll go to Natsuki's house right away."

at the same time.

Shinomiya family villa.

Kaguya Shinomiya had just finished showering, her black hair cascading down her shoulders, and was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

Hayasaka Ai stood behind Shinomiya Kaguya, holding a hairdryer and helping her dry her hair.

It was already nine o'clock at night.

"It's nine o'clock, I'm going to sleep. Hayasaka, you can leave now."

Kaguya Shinomiya closed the book in her hand and glanced subtly at the desk, where a panda plush toy sat peacefully in the corner.

Good children never stay up late.

Staying up all night to cultivate immortality not only causes hair loss, but also increases the risk of sudden death.

As the daughter of a capitalist, Kaguya Shinomiya has an extremely healthy daily routine. She has always gone to bed at nine o'clock every night since she was a child and never stays up late.

"I'm going out now, see you tomorrow."

Hayasaka Ai put away the hairdryer and turned to walk outside.

Arriving at the room door, Hayasaka Ai slowly closed it. Through the crack, she could clearly see Kaguya-sama eagerly walk to the desk, pick up the panda plushie, and happily jump onto the bed.

boom.

The door was closed completely.

Hayasaka Ai withdrew her gaze, returned to her room, took out a hair tie, tied her hair into a neat hairstyle, then took off her maid outfit, changed into a black night outfit, peeled open a lollipop, and put it in her mouth.

The spy maid is preparing for action.
