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

"Bad doctors can eliminate side effects..."

"Ok?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze suddenly sharpened.

“Okay, if you don’t need it, you don’t need it.” Amamiya Natsuki raised her hands. “I was just suggesting it, but I feel like you’d be embarrassing if you just climbed up like that.”

That's not just shameful, that's downright socially reprehensible!

Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip tightly, took a deep breath, and said:

"Turn around."

"Huh?" Natsuki Amamiya was taken aback. "What is Yukino going to do?"

"Don't ask so many questions!"

"Yes Yes."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki raised her hands and turned around.

Soon, a rustling sound came from behind.

After a while.

Yukino's voice had calmed down:

"...Continue the operation."

Amamiya Natsuki then turned around and looked at Yukino with curiosity.

as predicted.

Yukino had just changed into a spare shirt from her game backpack; the original shirt had two buttons popped off and was obviously unusable.

But... that's too dangerous!

[Game] The clothes you get from blind boxes are just ordinary clothes. They don't have the property of never being damaged. Even if you grit your teeth and wear the shirt, there is always a possibility that the clothes will burst!

However, Natsuki Amamiya knew very well that Hirano was impossible to persuade at this moment, and trying to persuade her would only backfire.

There was no other way but to keep climbing.

"Let's go, let's continue."

Amamiya Natsuki openly scrutinized Hirano at that moment... I misspoke.

She's no longer just Hirano, but a super plus version of Yukino, who can even punch Haruno and kick Sayu.

The operation continues.

She hadn't climbed very high when Yukino Yukinoshita discovered that the situation was worse than she had imagined.

First and foremost is balance.

When the body suddenly carries an extra load, it can seriously affect balance, especially during climbing.

Secondly, it's uncomfortable.

Although there were spare clothes in the game backpack, there were no spare underwear. As for the underwear from before... it had naturally been sacrificed.

Yukino Yukinoshita has never experienced a vacuum state except when she sleeps in her pajamas. It not only affects her balance but also feels very strange and uncomfortable.

Gritting their teeth, the two carefully climbed a little further and arrived at a gentle slope platform.

"call……"

Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a slight sigh of relief, raised her right hand, and prepared to wipe the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.

next moment.

Snapped!

Two buttons, unable to withstand the weight, popped off again.

Yukino Yukinoshita reacted quickly, raising her arms to cover her chest, then gritting her teeth and turning her head to glare at her with embarrassment.

"I didn't see anything." Natsuki Amamiya raised her hands to show her innocence, and suggested again, "It's such a waste to have spare clothes if they get damaged... Why don't you let me help?"

"No need, I can handle it myself."

Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for only two seconds before shaking her head in refusal, biting her lip and saying:

"Turn around."

We really can't waste any more spare clothes. Only items from blind boxes can be stored in the game inventory, and wasting one means losing one more, so we need to find another way...

"Yes."

Natsuki Amamiya obediently turned around, listening to the rustling sounds behind her, her heart filled with curiosity.

Besides getting a new shirt, what other options are there?

This time, changing clothes took significantly longer than before.

Amamiya Natsuki waited for a while before Yukino's serious voice sounded from behind her:

"We can continue on our journey."

Amamiya Natsuki agreed and turned to look at Yukino with curiosity, only to be immediately shocked.

In order not to waste the spare clothes, Yukino actually took an unconventional approach, choosing a path that Amamiya Natsuki had never imagined...

"You actually used bandages?"

Wrapped in white bandages around her chest, her old shirt was still there, tied around her waist to resemble a skirt, creating a completely new and eye-catching style.

Looking at the limited edition 'bandaged' Yukino, Natsuki Amamiya suddenly felt a strong urge and couldn't help but reach out his right hand...

"Garbage King, what are you doing?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes immediately became alert.

"My nose is a little itchy." Natsuki Amamiya coughed twice, touched her nose, and then took out her phone from her pocket. "...Let me take a picture first."

In the pitch-black pit hundreds of meters underground, there was naturally no cell phone signal, but the camera function was still usable.

Click click click.

She took several photos in one go, but unfortunately the lighting was too dim and the results weren't good. Amamiya Natsuki reluctantly put away her phone, then said with a determined look in her eyes:

"Let's go watch the fireworks together in Naganohara after we've completed all the extreme challenges?"

Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head, looking wary:

Why go to Naganohara?

"..."

Well, as expected, we don't have anything in common.

After their rest, the two continued climbing.

This time, Yukino Yukinoshita experienced the wonderful use of the bandages. Her body finally maintained its balance and was no longer affected. Secondly, she no longer had to worry about being exposed. Finally, there was a satisfying binding effect, and she no longer had the trouble of jumping around.

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but praise in her heart:

"...Bandages are super useful!"

As they climbed, there were basically no obstacles that could stop them, except when they reached the middle of the cave, where a ferocious tiger blocked their way.

Damn~

The sticky sensation underfoot made Natsuki Amamiya frown.

Yukino Yukinoshita even took out a mask and put it on her face to block out the pungent smell in the air.

As mentioned before, Swallow Cave is named as such because thousands of swallows and bats live in the cave. These creatures have lived and reproduced in the cave for generations, and reproduction inevitably involves one thing... that is excretion.

At this moment.

Amamiya Natsuki and Yukino arrived at the filthy area of ​​Swallow Cave.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of 'night-shining sand,' leaving no place to step.

“Yukino.” Natsuki Amamiya turned around, her expression serious. “I want to discuss something with you…”

Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms and said:

"You said."

Amamiya Natsuki suggested:

"It's better for one person to sacrifice than for two to get hurt, so... could I become your leg accessory and hang on you?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

How dare you say something like that, making me brave the sea of ​​dung while you comfortably cruise through it all!

In this matter, Yukino Yukinoshita is truly unable to achieve gender equality.

"call……"

Yukino Yukinoshita closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said, word by word:

"I! Reject!"

I could accept it under other circumstances, but I absolutely cannot agree to it now!

“Then I have another suggestion.” Amamiya Natsuki was not disappointed and said again, “You become a leg accessory, and I am the only one who needs to be sacrificed. But in exchange, you have to let me kiss you for ten minutes.”

Yukino Yukinoshita gritted her teeth and said with disgust:

"...taking advantage of someone's vulnerability!"

"I've made such a huge sacrifice, can't I even ask for some compensation?" Amamiya Natsuki said matter-of-factly. "Just tell me if you agree or not. If you don't agree, we'll cross the sea of ​​dung together."

"..."

The word 'sea of ​​excrement' made Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes twitch slightly. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally agreed.

"I see."

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her pretty face away. The once proud and unyielding girl finally compromised with life, exchanging her body for Natsuki Amamiya's help.

On one hand, there's a ten-minute kiss; on the other, there's personally crossing a sea of ​​excrement. Anyone would know which to choose, right?
