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

"give it to me."

Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly, casually approached the leader, hid her right hand at her side, and flicked her finger. A blue button the size of a fingernail quietly adhered to the leader's body.

This is one of the gadgets that Hayasaka usually collects; its name is the magnet that never gets lost.

The item consists of two magnets, one red and one blue. The two magnets always point in the same direction as each other. Simply put, it is a tracking and positioning device produced by the game.

“Let’s go.” After Hayasaka returned, Amamiya Natsuki looked away. “Let’s go out and find a place to eat something first.”

The cafeteria was crowded and noisy, so it wasn't a good place to make a move. Amamiya Natsuki wasn't in a hurry; there would always be a time to use underhanded tactics.

After a while.

The group arrived at a secluded corner of the park, sat down on chairs, and prepared to eat.

Any unexpected situation can occur in the dungeon, so it is essential to maintain sufficient stamina.

The mushy stuff in the canteen should be edible in theory, but given a choice, nobody wants to eat pig swill.

"Ms. Mitsui, come and have something to eat." Fujiwara Chika's voice was clear and crisp as she spoke, taking out food from her game backpack. "Meat buns, milk tea, grilled meat, and tamagoyaki, whatever you want to eat."

Miss Mitsui raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and softly thanked her:

"Thank you, one meat bun will be enough for me."

Miss Mitsui is a true newbie, and before entering the dungeon, she hadn't even unlocked the backpack function, so naturally she was empty-handed and had no food reserves.

at the same time.

Amamiya Natsuki also took out a bag of meat buns. The backpack in the game has a constant function. The food looks the same when it is put in and when it is taken out. For example, at this moment, the meat buns are steaming hot and have an enticing aroma.

“Kaguya…”

Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at the young lady, quickly abandoning her intention to deliver the food.

Chika is fine, but the feud between Kaguya and Yukino hasn't been resolved yet. No matter who gets the meat bun first, the other person will be unhappy.

In that case, the best choice is to eat quietly and honestly.

Unfortunately, before she could even open her mouth, a pleading gaze fell upon her from the side. The young woman clasped her hands to her chest and whispered:

"Wow, you guys are amazing! You actually prepared so much food. Unlike me, I have such bad luck. I haven't gotten anything good from the blind boxes. Apart from two ordinary items and props, I haven't gotten any food at all."

This statement sounds normal, but upon closer examination, something feels off.

"Tsk..."

Amamiya Natsuki clicked her tongue inwardly, naturally knowing what this strange feeling was.

As a scumbag, he naturally wouldn't be easily fooled.

but……

Amamiya Natsuki glanced at the young lady who was peeking over out of the corner of her eye, then handed the meat bun in her hand to the girl passing by, saying gently:

"I'll give it to you."

These past few days, every time I've tried to talk to the young lady, she's been unwilling to talk to me. Now is the perfect opportunity.

"Hey, really?" The girl's eyes lit up with surprise. "The food must be very precious, right? Can I really eat it?"

The kind and considerate young woman continued:

"If there's not much food, Natsuki-kun, please don't worry about me. I can bear it. I'm not really that hungry..."

Before he could finish speaking, the little pigeon started cooing.

The young girl blushed, quickly covered her lower abdomen, and shyly lowered her head, saying:

"I... I'll just have some water!"

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

His tone and demeanor were so natural that it was hard to tell if it was acting or just genuine naivety!

Putting aside Hayasaka and Yukino, at least one person completely believed and had no doubt about the pitiful state of the random girl.

"Ryoko-chan, don't worry." Fujiwara Chika's eyes were full of concern. "We've prepared plenty of food. Eat as much as you like, it's perfectly fine."

The girl hesitantly accepted the meat bun from Amamiya Natsuki's hand, blushing as she whispered her thanks:

"Thank you everyone..."

After a pause, the young woman suddenly asked:

Where does Natsuki-kun live in real life?

"Ok?"

Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

What happened to our chance encounter?

Asking someone's real address when you're just a stranger is taboo!

"Please, please don't misunderstand!" The girl in the crowd quickly bowed and said, "What I mean is, if I can clear the dungeon, I promise I will repay Xia Shu-kun's kindness!"

Amamiya Natsuki glanced at the young lady who clearly cared but pretended not to, and said nonchalantly:

"I'm in Tokyo."

"Hey, I live in Kamakura." The girl on the street smiled sweetly, revealing two shallow dimples on her cheeks. "It's very close by."

"..."

Kaguya bit her lip slightly, her cheeks puffed out, and she couldn't help but steal a glance out of the corner of her eye.

Yukino Yukinoshita sat upright and elegantly, quietly eating her food, seemingly oblivious to everything around her, as if she didn't care at all about the interaction between Amamiya Natsuki and the passerby girl.

Hayasaka Ai ate her food, a subtle, ambiguous expression on her face.

Secretary Qianhua has already won over the girl, and doesn't see anything wrong with the random girl at all.

Miss Mitsui secretly observed the girls' varying expressions and couldn't help but speak up:

“Ms. Suzuki, now is not the time for chatting. In this dangerous environment, finishing your meal as soon as possible is the priority.”

"Oh, I'm sorry." The girl stuck out her cute tongue and put her hands together, saying, "I forgot for a moment, I'll eat right away... I'll start eating now."

"..."

Including Ms. Mitsui and the random girl, no one ate for more than ten minutes.

The meal is finished.

The group cleaned up the kitchen waste and then continued to gather intelligence.

“All those guys from the cafeteria have come out… I wonder where they’re going,” Fujiwara Chika suggested. “Shall we follow them and see?”

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"We definitely need to go and take a look."

The group mingled among the evil spirits, slowly making their way forward, and the more they walked, the more familiar it felt.

"Huh, how come we're back in the teaching building again?" Fujiwara Chika exclaimed in surprise.

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"I roughly know where they're going."

Hayasaka Ai crossed her arms and whispered:

"If I'm not mistaken, it's a casino, right?"

"..."

After a while.

Hayasaka's conjecture has been verified.

The shills, who had just finished eating pig feed in the cafeteria, turned around and went to the casino set up in the park.

Even without entering, one can clearly sense the smog and filth inside.

"How strange..." Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but complain, "Logically speaking, gambling shouldn't give them any feelings, right?"

“There are many kinds of feelings, some are physical, and some are mental.” Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her right arm over her chest and said softly, “Most gamblers are addicted, that is, they are addicted to gambling. Even if they become evil spirits, they can’t get rid of it.”

“Yukino makes a lot of sense,” Natsuki Amamiya agreed. “I am mortal with gambling and drugs.”

"Huh?" Fujiwara Chika blinked. "The president's words just feel like something's missing... eh eh eh?"

Before long, Fujiwara Chika finally realized what was happening, and her pretty face involuntarily flushed red.

I used to take it as a joke, but now I can no longer take it so lightly.

Amamiya Natsuki leaned closer and whispered:

"Secretary Qianhua, was there something missing in what I said just now?"

"President, get away from me!" Fujiwara Chika turned her pretty face away. "Don't come near me!"

"..."

As a shill, I work hard to scam people to meet my daily quota. After finally getting the money, I have to split it 50/50 with the park. After splitting the money, I go to the cafeteria to fill my empty stomach, and then I go to the casino to gamble, imagining that my bicycle will turn into a motorcycle. Of course, nine out of ten gamblers are cheated, and most people will never turn into a motorcycle... It really is true that you make money in the park and spend it in the park, and never think about taking a penny home.

The night is getting darker.

The already dim sky grew even darker without anyone noticing.

The shills in the casino lost everything and slowly began to disperse.

"These people are probably going to the dorms, right?" Kaguya Shinomiya said softly. "They had a key in their pocket with numbers written on it, so it must be the key to their dorm room."

"That's really strange," Fujiwara Chika muttered under her breath. "Since it's already an evil spirit, it could easily work non-stop 24 hours a day, right?"

"Perhaps it's due to efficiency?" Hayasaka Ai held up a finger. "Just like studying, the human limit is forty minutes. Once that's exceeded, concentration and efficiency drop rapidly."

“Now that it’s late and quiet, we can finally make our move,” Natsuki Amamiya said softly. “Chika, you two take Mitsui back to the dormitory first. Hanamori and I will go get the information.”

"Do you want me to join forces and help?" Fujiwara Chika asked, raising her hand.

“No need,” Natsuki Amamiya said softly. “He’s just a small leader; Hanamori and I are enough for him.”

"Alright then." Fujiwara Chika didn't insist and nodded in agreement. "President, Hanamori-chan, please be careful."

Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms over her chest, moved her pink lips slightly, and whispered:
