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

"Shoko is alright, so Mom can rest assured." Mrs. Komi smiled and handed over a glass of milk. "Here, have a glass of milk to replenish your nutrition."

"Well……"

Looking at the milk handed to her, the quail girl's pretty face turned even redder, almost to the point of bleeding, and she could only shake her head repeatedly.

"Oh, doesn't Shoko want to drink?" Mrs. Komi tilted her head and said, "Then Mom will drink it."

Watching her mother bring the milk to her lips, the little girl finally couldn't resist and quickly snatched the milk away, tilting her head back and gulping it down.

"Don't be in such a hurry," Mrs. Komi said with a smile. "If you like it, have another drink."

Glass: "..."

In the end, Shoko took all the blame by herself.

at the same time.

Natsuki Amamiya was strolling home at a leisurely pace.

The succubus body may seem terrible, but aside from the negative effect of needing to replenish mana every week, its value is actually quite high.

Absorbing yang energy can permanently improve basic attributes. Except for girls with particularly strong chastity concepts, it seems to be an extremely useful skill, especially suitable for novice players to learn.

Dungeons are dangerous, but the most dangerous moment is when you first enter a dungeon. You're just an ordinary person with no means of fighting back against supernatural creatures. Courage and wisdom can't really turn the tide in the face of ghosts and monsters. If you're unlucky and encounter a kill at the opening, you'll be dead instantly.

And the newbie players around me are...

Natsuki Amamiya took out her phone and called Haruno Yukinoshita.

"Mosimoxi?"

Yukino's sweet and pleasant voice rang out from the phone.

Natsuki Amamiya got straight to the point:

"Yono-nee, Shoko has recently mastered a new skill that I think might suit you."

Yukinoshita immediately became interested: "Hey, Natsuki-kun, please explain in detail."

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"It's the body of a succubus..."

"..."

After hearing the skill description, Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent for a few seconds, then said in a subtle tone:

"Natsuki-kun, when you talk about replenishing mana, is it the proper kind of replenishment, or the improper kind?"

Natsuki Amamiya spoke frankly:

"It's been confirmed; it's an unorthodox mana replenishment."

Yukinoshita Yono: "..."

“You can consider it, Haruno-nee,” Amamiya Natsuki said. “I’m just telling you about this; the decision is yours.”

"No need to think about it." Yukinoshita Haruno said softly, "I definitely wouldn't agree to it if it were anyone else, but it's no problem for Natsuki-kun."

As expected, they agreed.

Before making the call, Natsuki Amamiya knew that Haruno would most likely not refuse.

After all, Haruno is different from Shoko. Born into a large family and already a university student, Haruno is a typical pragmatist.

If something is of great help to me, I must get it, even if it comes at a price.

"I want one, but I don't have any skill copy scrolls," Yukinoshita Haruno said pitifully. "Natsuki-kun, what should I do?"

Amamiya Natsuki said speechlessly:

“I have a spare copy scroll…”

For ordinary players, the more skills the better, and they might wish they had dozens or even hundreds of skills to rely on.

But Natsuki Amamiya knew very well that having more skills wasn't necessarily better.

The reason is simple: dungeons are not like ordinary mobile games, and releasing skills is not just about clicking on whatever light is on. The timing and other aspects of releasing skills have very high requirements, which requires a lot of practice on a daily basis.

It's hard to say who is stronger between someone who has practiced ten thousand different leg techniques and someone who has practiced one leg technique ten thousand times.

Therefore, it makes no difference to give a copy of the scroll to Yang Nai.

"No reward for no merit!"

Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly refused with righteous indignation.

Amamiya Natsuki was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise:

"Sister Yang Nai doesn't want it?"

“I won’t take Natsuki-kun’s things for free, but I can borrow them from him.” Yukinoshita Haruno’s voice was sweet. “I’m just very busy these days, and I’m in Chiba Prefecture, so I can’t go back. I can only ask Yukino to go and borrow the scroll.”

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

Instead of coming to borrow it yourself, you sent Yukino over. You're practically pushing your sister into a fire pit!

"It's decided then," Yukino Yukinoshita said with a smile. "I'll have Yukino go and borrow the things for me, and Natsuki-kun can do whatever he wants."

You don't have the final say on that; it's Yukino's word that counts!

call ended.

Amamiya Natsuki put away her phone and walked home.

I thought Yukino was inefficient and it would take at least several days to get results, but to my surprise, at 8 p.m., I received a message from Yukino.

"Do you... have a copy of the scroll?"

The sender was Yukino Yukinoshita.

I didn't realize you were so efficient, Yang Nai!

Amamiya Natsuki sat up straight: "There's still one copy scroll left, what's wrong?"

Yukino Yukinoshita paused for two seconds: "Could you lend me the copy scroll?"

Natsuki Amamiya: "Yukino wants to use it?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "...Hmm."

Is this because they don't want to tell the truth in order to save Yang Nai's face?

What a deep sisterly bond!

Unfortunately, you don't know that your sister did this on purpose, just to push you into a pit of fire!

Copying scrolls has a certain failure rate and is not 100% successful. Even so, it is still recognized by players as one of the most valuable items. Failure to copy only wastes a scroll, but if the copy is successful, you can learn a new skill.

Strengthening basic attributes is a gradual process and it's difficult to see immediate results, but mastering a new skill can bring substantial progress and a better experience.

In short, copy scrolls are incredibly valuable and in high demand. Once someone puts them on sale, they are immediately snapped up or driven up to prices that are unaffordable for ordinary players.

Yukino Yukinoshita did not join the Ghost Stories Management Bureau. With her current wealth, it was impossible for her to buy a copy scroll, so she could only borrow one from Natsuki Amamiya.

Amamiya Natsuki quickly replied:

"Don't talk about borrowing. If Yukino wants anything I have, she can take it anytime."

“No need.” Yukino Yukinoshita was unmoved and reiterated, “It’s a loan, I’ll return it to you later.”

“Alright, Yukino can come and get the copy scroll anytime,” Amamiya Natsuki promised, then changed the subject, “However… it wouldn’t be too much for me to make a small request, would it?”

"He who takes a man's food is bound to him, and he who eats a man's food is bound to him," so Yukino Yukinoshita naturally couldn't refuse decisively and could only say:

"...Tell me about it."

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said:

"My house has been a bit messy lately because no one has cleaned it. I'd like to hire someone to clean it... Is Yukino free?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "No problem."

Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"Is it okay to wear a maid outfit while cleaning?"

Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for two seconds before agreeing:

"no problem."

Maid outfits are actually quite common in Japan; wearing a maid outfit to clean is not considered insulting.

Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"It's been so long since I've been to a maid cafe in Akihabara. I miss being called 'master'... When Yukino comes to clean tomorrow, could you call me 'master'?"

Yukino Yukinoshita gritted her teeth and said:

"Don't push your luck, Mr. Trash!"

"How can this be considered pushing your luck?" Amamiya Natsuki said innocently. "I didn't ask for kisses or hugs, or ask you to lift my skirt. I've already been very restrained, okay?"

"I promise." Before Yukino could reply, Natsuki Amamiya continued, "As long as Yukino agrees to call me master, I won't ask for anything else!"

"..."

A moment of silence.

Yukino Yukinoshita finally replied to the message: "It's a deal."

Yukino is proud by nature. Even though she explicitly said she was borrowing the copy scroll, both of them knew that it was still an act of taking advantage of her. That's why she went against her conscience and agreed to Amamiya Natsuki's shameless request.

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said:

"I'm free tomorrow. What time will you be coming over tomorrow morning, Yukino?"

“Eight o’clock in the morning,” Yukino Yukinoshita said quickly. “I’ll buy breakfast and go over then.”

"Yes, thank you very much." After thanking her, Amamiya Natsuki asked, "Would you like me to prepare a maid outfit for you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita resolutely refused:

"No need, I'll prepare it myself."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"I want to eat heart-shaped omelet rice for breakfast."
