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

The adorable junior student, Hana-shou, is back online.

"Natsuki-kun, excuse me, could I have a few minutes of your time?"

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya is playing a game, completely absorbed in the Old Man's Ring, oblivious to everything else.

It is said that someone has already compressed the speed and time to within six minutes, which is indeed terrifying.

Upon hearing the message notification tone, Natsuki Amamiya turned to look at her phone.

Hanamori: "Natsuki-kun, there's another evil spirit in my apartment building. School starts tomorrow and I have a lot of things to do. If I don't get a good night's rest, I'll feel terrible... If you have time, please paste a message to me to ward off the evil spirit."

well.

As long as you don't ask if I'm online and just get straight to the point, we're good friends.

Natsuki Amamiya: "Where are you?"

Ai Hayasaka: "That night, I was at the cafe entrance when my part-time job was about to end."

Natsuki Amamiya: "Okay, I'll come find you."

"..."

Putting away her phone, Natsuki Amamiya got dressed and went out.

It was already past nine o'clock at night, and the streets in the residential area were quite quiet.

Natsuki Amamiya looked up at the sky. A silver moon hung high in the night sky, its cool moonlight spilling like mercury onto the ground, creating a hazy, silvery-white expanse.

With Kitagawa not around, the evening felt much quieter, but now it suddenly feels a bit lonely.

Amamiya Natsuki withdrew her gaze, put her hands in her pockets, and walked towards the coffee shop.

Speechless all the way.

ten minutes later.

Amamiya Natsuki soon spotted the cute junior student eagerly waiting at the entrance of the coffee shop.

"Natsuki-kun~" Hayasaka Ai smiled brightly, waved happily, and ran over to Amamiya Natsuki with her backpack in hand, her eyes shining. "Good evening."

"Good evening." Natsuki Amamiya nodded.

"Sorry for messaging you so late to ask you to come out." Hayasaka Ai raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "I just finished my part-time job."

This is a lie.

In fact, I didn't work at all.

She pretended to be a working girl just to get close to men.

"Nine o'clock isn't late, it's not time to go to sleep yet." Natsuki Amamiya didn't seem to care.

"Um, where's Haimeng-chan?" Hayasaka Ai blinked. "Why haven't I seen Haimeng-chan?"

Amamiya Natsuki casually remarked, "She went home."

"What a pity," Hayasaka Ai said regretfully. "I even bought cream puffs specifically to give to Haimeng-chan."

This is a lie.

The cream puffs were just a snack I bought on a whim; the real purpose was to naturally lead into the next topic of conversation.

"I saw Haimeng-chan's message this evening. Her 'role-playing' skills seem pretty amazing." Hayasaka Ai's pretty face showed a curious expression. "Is that lucky coin really that effective?"

That's right.

I, Hayasaka Ai, will also flip a coin!

When facing evil spirits and monsters, grappling techniques are obviously not very useful; skills are the most useful thing.

Unfortunately it failed.

Whether it's today's blind boxes or the compensation packages after the dungeon crash, they only contain some useless items, with no skills at all.

"It can indeed improve your luck, but it doesn't guarantee you'll unlock a skill." Amamiya Natsuki, understanding the girl's meaning, took out a Destiny Coin from her game inventory. "Why don't you give it a try?"

It's perfectly normal to want to try out items that can increase the success rate of blind boxes; there's nothing shameful about it.

This thing isn't a consumable item that you lose after each use; if someone is willing to throw it away, it helps recharge the battery.

Hayasaka Ai blinked: "Shall I give it a try?"

"Here you go." Natsuki Amamiya handed over the coin. "Heads means improved luck, tails means bad luck. You know that now, right?"

Hayasaka Ai nodded: "I know, Haimeng-chan said that if you're plagued by bad luck, something unlucky is likely to happen within half an hour."

It's just bad luck, there's no danger to my life. As long as the blind boxes can be shipped, bad luck doesn't matter.

"call……"

Hayasaka Ai exhaled softly and tossed the coin into the air.

Then, with a snap, he clasped his hands together.

Natsuki Amamiya knew without even looking that it was definitely the reverse side.

The true nature of this coin is to draw upon the fortune of others to power itself, and once it is full, it will be given back to those others.

By noon, Kitagawa Kaimu had used up all her accumulated luck, and no matter who threw the toss next, there would only be one result.

"Damn it, it's the opposite."

Hayasaka Ai secretly clicked her tongue and couldn't help but puff out her pink cheeks.

It's just bad luck; I'm already prepared, so bring it on.

"Natsuki-kun, the coin is tails." Hayasaka Ai returned the coin, nervously grabbing Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve, her eyes timid. "Are we going to encounter danger next?"

"Don't worry, bad luck doesn't mean death is coming," Natsuki Amamiya comforted her.

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

Is that something you're saying to comfort someone?

He's clearly just trying to scare people!

Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"There are many ways bad luck can occur, such as stepping on a banana peel while walking, choking on food, or something falling from the sky and hitting you on the head."

"Falling objects from a height?" Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but retort, "Wouldn't that be life-threatening!"

Hayasaka Ai cautiously looked around: "Luckily, it's a commercial street. The tallest building is only two stories high, and there are no skyscrapers."

“You’re relaxing too soon.” Natsuki Amamiya said in a subtle tone, “Falling objects from high altitudes could also be the final metabolic products of birds.”

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

Are you talking about bird droppings?

A biological attack by birds is just too terrible to even think about!

"Let's find somewhere to hide quickly." Hayasaka Ai's pretty face hardened as she looked at the fast food restaurant not far away. "How about going to a fast food restaurant?"

"It's best not to." Amamiya Natsuki shook her head, stating the experience she had gained over the past few days: "The more people there are, the greater the probability of something bad happening. After multiple verifications, open and deserted places are safer."

Hayasaka Ai quickly said:

"Let's go sit in the park ahead for a while and wait for our bad luck to end..."

The girl's voice stopped abruptly.

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and saw Hayasaka Ai clenching her fists, biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth, looking quite unhappy.

"what happened?"

“I…” Hayasaka Ai took a deep breath, the smile on her face disappearing, “I stepped on something.”

"What did you step on?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked down curiously, but didn't see a banana peel. "Could it be..."

"It's chewing gum!"

Hayasaka Ai quickly revealed the truth.

The feeling of something sticking to the soles of your feet with every step you take is definitely chewing gum.

Which jerk spat out that chewing gum? That's so unhygienic and shows no consideration for public order!

Chapter 188 Ah, Men

In the corner.

Natsuki Amamiya and the spy maid are having a secret talk.

Did it get rubbed off?

"No."

"It can't be rubbed off. It must be some super chewing gum that someone has been chewing for a long time."

"..."

No matter what it is, anyone who spits chewing gum on the ground should be sentenced, preferably hung on the gallows!

"call……"

Hayasaka Ai took a deep breath and bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth.

calm.

It's just chewing gum.

We shouldn't let this little thing break our spirits.

"Natsuki-kun, can you hold my backpack for me?" Hayasaka Ai handed over the backpack. "Let me remove the chewing gum from the soles of my shoes first."

"Leave it to me." Natsuki Amamiya took the backpack. "Walking for so long with chewing gum stuck to your body is impressive."

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

hateful.
