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

"It actually scanned successfully... So, it was actually a product barcode?" Kaguya Shinomiya, quick-witted, swiftly deduced the truth. "The reason we can't get out is actually because of the 'products' in the mall?"

The barcode was directly imprinted on the skin, not on paper, so the girls only felt it looked familiar but couldn't recognize it at first glance.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, each of us has a product barcode on us."

"Let me see." Kitagawa Kaimu hooked her fingers around her collar and peered inside. "...Hey, why don't I have a chest area?"

"My barcode is on my wrist," the bespectacled player quickly exclaimed.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"It seems the barcode isn't necessarily on your chest. Everyone, please look for it somewhere on your body."

Two consecutive examples prove that the product code is indeed on the player, but its location is not fixed.

"They might be under the clothes if we can't find them," Kitagawa Kaimu said, hands on her hips. "Let's all help each other look!"

"Let's go to the restroom." Fujiwara Chika covered her skirt with her hands. "It's too strange to take off my clothes in the lobby!"

"..."

The proposal was quickly and unanimously adopted.

Of course, before that, the group went to the third floor again, where Natsuki Amamiya put the zombie reindeer on the little train.

"Go to the restroom."

The group did not go downstairs, but went straight to the public restroom at the corner of the third floor.

Several girls rushed into the women's restroom, helping each other check their bodies, leaving Natsuki Amamiya to walk into the men's restroom all alone.

After a while.

The girls filed out of the restroom.

"We've found everyone's product codes," Fujiwara Chika said in a clear voice. "Natsuki-kun, where's your product code?"

"could not find it."

Amamiya Natsuki shook her head.

I just looked around in the restroom for a while, and I really couldn't find the product code anywhere.

“Let us help you look. There are definitely places a person can’t see.” Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Chika reached out and pushed up her black bow and bangs, revealing her smooth forehead. “For example, my product code is hidden on my forehead. It took Hanamori-chan a long time to find it. Kaguya-chan’s product code is on the back of her neck, and Kaimu-chan’s QR code is on her waist. They are much easier to find than me.”

"Thinking about it carefully, isn't it obvious that your product code is easier to find?" Natsuki Amamiya couldn't help but say. "Just change your hairstyle, and you'll be able to spot it at a glance."

"No, this is the hairstyle I've had since I was a child."

"..."

"Natsuki, take off your shirt first." Kitagawa Kaimu put her right hand on her hip. "Check if the product code is on your back."

"Ah."

Amamiya Natsuki agreed and took off her shirt.

Since they were in the restroom, there was no need to worry about being discovered by the wandering monsters, so the girls raised their phones and shone their flashlights on the area.

Under the lights, Natsuki Amamiya's eight-pack abs were clearly visible. The muscles weren't as exaggerated and intimidating as those of a muscular guy in a gym, but the muscle lines were delicate, which was more in line with the aesthetic standards of ordinary people.

"Huh?" Kitagawa Haimu said subconsciously, "When did Natsuki's figure get so good?"

"Haimeng-chan has seen her?"

"I asked Fujiwara Chika curiously."

It shouldn't be.

They lived together for three days. Every night after taking a shower, Amamiya Natsuki would get dressed. Why had Umi-chan seen her before?

"Don't misunderstand." Seeing everyone looking at her, the blonde girl blushed slightly and quickly explained, "Natsuki and I were classmates in junior high school and took swimming lessons together. It's normal for me to have seen her, right?"

"Actually, it's all thanks to Jianzi."

Amamiya Natsuki glanced down at her body, thinking of her childhood friend with long, straight black hair.

I used to exercise, but my abs weren't very defined—it's well known that sit-ups don't build abs.

Since I was able to lie down and become stronger, I have been receiving energy from Jianzi every day without interruption. The energy between all things is balanced. While stepping on energy is converted into energy to strengthen the body, it is also slowly pushing the body closer to the limits of humanity. The muscles have become more defined without me even realizing it.

"Ahem." Kitagawa Kaimu coughed lightly twice, making a fist with her right hand. "Let us help with the examination."

Several girls quickly gathered around and helped check her body from all sides.

"Natsuki, don't move around."

"I didn't move."

"Raise your arms and open them to the left and right."

"..."

Girls are creatures who might be shy when alone, but their courage multiplies when there are many people around. In the midst of the chaos, someone secretly pinched Natsuki Amamiya.

"Not on the forehead."

"Not on the back."

"It's useless below the arm either."

"..."

The inspection was completed quickly, but no one could find the product barcode.

"Strange." Fujiwara Chika rested her chin on her right hand. "How come there's no product code?"

"Could it be on the leg?" Kitagawa Kaimu's eyes lit up. "If it's not on the top, then it must be on the bottom."

"Natsuki-kun, take your pants off!"

Chapter 173 Hurry up and take off your clothes, get a physical checkup

"Pants...cough cough cough."

Fujiwara Chika quickly covered her pink lips and waved her hand to shoo them away, "Go to the restroom and check yourself, hurry up and go."

"If you hadn't called me out, I would have already finished my self-check."

Amamiya Natsuki muttered to herself as she turned and walked back to the restroom.

Before long, the impatient Kitagawa Kaimu called out softly from outside, "Natsuki, have you found the product code yet?"

"No."

"..."

Another moment passed.

Fujiwara Chika whispered, "Have you found it yet?"

"Still nothing." Natsuki Amamiya's voice came from the bathroom. "It doesn't feel like it's on my legs."

"How could that be? There's clearly no product code on the upper body." Kitagawa Kaimu frowned slightly, put her right hand on her hip, and quickly made a decision, "I'll go in and help you find it."

Miss Ghost instinctively said, "That's a boys' restroom."

"We can't worry about that right now, finding the product code is the most important thing."

"..."

This blonde bombshell has always been impulsive and decisive; once she decides to do something, she'll do it immediately.

Such as now.

"I'm in?"

When asked to go in and help, Kitagawa Kaimu immediately held up her phone and peered into the bathroom. After seeing Amamiya Natsuki wearing shorts, she stepped inside.

We're not just saying it; we'll get in as soon as we say it.

"Hai Meng-chan actually went in!" Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened. "She's so brave!"

next moment.

Out of the corner of her eye, Fujiwara Chika suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure silently walking towards the restroom.

"Eh, Kaguya-chan?" Fujiwara Chika looked over in surprise. "What are you going to do?"

Kaguya Shinomiya's pretty face tightened, and she said in a cool and composed voice:

"Go in and help."

Kitagawa has already gone inside, how could I possibly stand outside listening to his voice!

It's impossible!

Absolutely impossible.

I don't want to fall behind others!

Since there's no reason to stop others, we must do better than them and find the product code before Kitagawa does!

Seeing Kaguya Shinomiya walk in with firm steps, Chika Fujiwara couldn't contain herself and raised her hand, saying:

"Then I'll go in too, there's strength in numbers."

"..."

Hayasaka Ai remained silent, holding her tablet, monitoring the mall as she walked to catch up.

As Kaguya and the others entered the restroom, the night outside suddenly became eerie.

The other three random players exchanged glances, and the girl with glasses whispered:

"Shall we go in too?"

“Um…” the middle school girl stammered, “That’s the boys’ restroom.”

"Now is not the time to be shy." The girl with glasses raised her hand to cover her mouth, quietly imparting life experience, "When we're trying to curry favor with others, regardless of whether we can actually help, the most important thing is our attitude, otherwise we'll be abandoned."

"I-I know."

The junior high school girl, Kujo, quickly nodded.
