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

"I thought it was stuffed with a sponge... but it's actually real?"

"Its size has already exceeded human limits!"

"..."

The short-haired girl covered her chest with her hands, finally unable to hold back her grievances, and burst into tears.

"Hey, don't cry, we're all players, we won't hurt you."

"The reindeer has been caught."

"Natsuki-kun, turn your face away quickly!"

"..."

After a brief conversation, the short-haired girl quickly calmed down, wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and whispered her basic situation.

The player girl's name is Kujo, she is sixteen years old, and she has completed the game twice. However, she had a bout of mumps during her exams and had to give up the exams, choosing instead to study abroad... That's right, the girl in front of you is currently a junior high school student.

"Huh? Middle school students can be this big?"

Fujiwara Chika blurted out her debut.

“It’s a curse.” The middle school player’s voice sounded aggrieved again. “The curse appeared when I opened the blind box, that’s why it turned out like this.”

The girls' expressions all changed.

"It's a curse?"

"I remember now, the description of the daily blind box mentioned that it is indeed possible to get curses or evil spirits inside."

"I thought it was a joke, but it turns out there really is a curse?"

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya didn't care about curses. The hints could reveal roughly what was inside the blind boxes. The probability of getting curses and evil spirits was extremely low. Among the many people in the player mutual aid group, very few had been cursed yet.

In contrast, there was another matter that concerned Natsuki Amamiya even more.

"Kujou-kun, right?" Amamiya Natsuki looked at the tearful middle school girl and said seriously, "Please take your arm away so I can take another look."

"Huh?" Fujiwara Chika looked over in shock. "What did Natsuki-san just say?"

Kaguya Shinomiya's black hair trembled slightly, and she seemed to doubt her ears: "...Where do you want to see?"

"You idiot Natsuki, what are you talking about?" Kitagawa Kaimu poked Amamiya Natsuki's waist with her finger, saying with exasperation, "Kujo is only a middle school student, and he has already committed the crime of perversion."

The blonde girl lowered her voice and said, "...If you want to see it, I'll show it to you when we get back. Don't bully children."

You're actually willing to sacrifice yourself to protect others; you're probably an angel disguised as a hot girl!

"Hidden...unspoken rules?"

The bespectacled girl, a random player, pulled the silver-haired loli back half a step.

Holding hands is acceptable, but lifting up your clothes in public to satisfy a boy's animalistic desires... sorry, I still can't accept it!

“No.” Amamiya Natsuki sighed. “Do you think I’m such a shallow person?”

"..."

The girls remained silent.

"Trust between people is so fragile," Natsuki Amamiya said speechlessly. "Didn't you guys see that Kujo had something on his chest just now?"

"Natsuki-kun, turn around." Fujiwara Chika opened her arms to protect the middle school student. "We can check her."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Amamiya Natsuki shrugged and turned away.

A soft exclamation soon came from behind.

Kitagawa Kaimu: "There really is something on top of Kujo's breasts, it's a strange black vertical line of varying shades."

Kaguya Shinomiya: "What's that... a tattoo?"

"No, it's not a tattoo!" the middle school girl quickly denied. "I've never had a tattoo!"

Tattoos have a special meaning in Japan—basically only members of yakuza organizations get tattoos, and those with tattoos face all sorts of discrimination and exclusion.

Take Hai Meng for example. Dyed hair, colored contact lenses, manicures, chokers, or even wearing her school uniform loosely tied around her waist are all just typical hot girl outfits, but she would never get a tattoo.

The girls expressed their opinions and discussed for a while, but still could not reach a consensus.

"Natsuki, do you know what's on Kujo-chan's chest?"

Kitagawa Kaimu turned and asked.

"I think I've guessed it." Amamiya Natsuki nodded. "And there's also the way to beat the game."

"Hey, what is that?"

"Go downstairs first. If I'm not mistaken, you'll find out soon."

"..."

The gathered players perked up and prepared to go downstairs.

Amamiya Natsuki walked up to Kitagawa and lowered her voice:

"It's a word."

"Huh?" Kitagawa Kaimu was taken aback. "What do you mean..."

Halfway through her sentence, the blonde bombshell suddenly realized what she was saying, her pretty face flushing red as she puffed out her cheeks and covered her chest, "Pervert Natsuki!"

"..."

The group quickly arrived at the hall.

Just like before, the specimen reindeer successfully passed through the invisible wall of air, then turned around and pounced on the player again.

"Huh, it doesn't seem like it'll attack Kaguya-chan?"

Fujiwara Chika suddenly discovered a blind spot.

Natsuki Amamiya grasped the broken antler on the reindeer's head and pondered:

"You'll know once you verify it."

The solution is simple.

By having Kaguya Shinomiya wear a penguin costume headgear and stand with the other players, she was never attacked.

"Verification complete."

"It seems that disguising myself as a 'monster' does have some effect," Natsuki Amamiya silently added to herself, "provided I don't break the rules."

"Finally, there's the way to get through to the midnight mall..."

Chapter 172 Breasts Inspire Us

"……come here."

Natsuki Amamiya looked at the middle school girl.

The girl burdened by the curse of her large breasts immediately tensed up and hurriedly looked at Kitagawa Haimu beside her, her eyes pleading for help.

"Natsuki—"

The blonde girl put her right hand on her hip and puffed out her cheeks.

“I feel like I’m being discriminated against.” Amamiya Natsuki picked up the barcode scanner from the cashier’s counter and handed it to Fujiwara Chika. “Scan Kujo.”

"Huh?" Fujiwara Chika was taken aback, not quite understanding yet. "Sweep what?"

Hayasaka Ai understood instantly: "...A barcode?"

Kitagawa Kaimu then realized: "Are those nine black vertical lines on their chests barcodes?"

"Just scan it and you'll know."

Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips and looked at the middle school girl.

"Kujou-chan, come here, let's scan this." Fujiwara Chika took the barcode scanner and turned to say, "Natsuki-kun, don't peek."

"I-I know."

The middle school girl nodded timidly, covered her chest, walked to Fujiwara Chika's side, and then blushed as she removed her arm.

"so big."

Kaimu Kitagawa was once again amazed.

"Um..." the bespectacled female player said enviously, "It might not be a curse, it could also be a blessing from the gods?"

“It must be a curse,” Fujiwara Chika retorted. “It must be incredibly inconvenient to have something that big.”

The silver-haired little girl tilted her head up and gently poked the hole with her finger.

"stamp--"

The middle school girl gasped softly, her voice trembling with embarrassment: "P-please don't touch there."

Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms over her chest, her gaze fixed on the middle school girl's chest, and she secretly gritted her teeth.

hateful.

How can a middle school student be so big? How much fat and energy does it store inside?

If you were to challenge a snow-covered mountain lodge, you could probably survive for half a month without food or water!

Speaking of which, is it possible for me to break the curse that makes breasts bigger?

Kaguya Shinomiya quietly lowered her head, her gaze shifting downwards.

After the Golden Week holiday, as the weather gets warmer, I'll be taking swimming lessons next week. I never thought about it before, but now I really don't want to wear a swimsuit!

After a while.

With a 'beep' sound, the scan data successfully appeared on the computer screen.

"Scanned successfully!" Kitagawa Kaimu exclaimed softly. "Natsuki, come here quickly."

Amamiya Natsuki turned around and walked over, looking at the lit computer screen: "Just as I thought."
