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

"I don't deserve such praise," Natsuki Amamiya said casually. "I just spend all twenty-five hours a day studying."

"There aren't even 25 hours in a day!"

"..."

In this state of involution, even bad luck seemed to retreat, and no more misfortunes occurred.

Time passes quietly.

The classroom fell silent.

"call……"

After finishing the last exercise, Kaguya Shinomiya let out a soft breath, put down her pen, rubbed her wrist, and looked at the boy sitting at the next table:

"Has it been almost half an hour?"

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head: "Three minutes left."

The classroom was exceptionally quiet in the afternoon.

A cool breeze was blowing.

Warm sunlight streamed in through the window, landing perfectly on Natsuki Amamiya's profile. From Kaguya Shinomiya's perspective, the boy at the next table seemed to radiate a faint glow, making it impossible for her to look away.

Crash.

The pages of the book on the table turned incessantly in the wind, making a pleasant sound.

A purple sticky note tucked inside a book was blown away by the wind.

Kaguya Shinomiya instinctively reached out to grab it, but the chair beneath her suddenly slipped, causing her to lose her balance and fall forward, landing right on Natsuki Amamiya's lap.

Bad luck struck again.

"Well……"

Kaguya Shinomiya's knees hit the ground, and she let out a low, frustrated groan.

"The bad luck isn't over yet, we can't let our guard down for a moment." Amamiya Natsuki sighed. "You were careless."

"Who knew the sticky note would be blown away by the wind?"

Kaguya Shinomiya gritted her teeth as she spoke, then looked up and suddenly felt something tugging at her hair.

"Don't, don't move, you're pulling my hair."

"where?"

"do not know."

In the midst of the tug-of-war, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang.

A slender, short-haired girl walked in.

"Natsuki-kun, you haven't left yet... Wait, wait, wait?!"

Her gaze shifted downwards, and when she saw Kaguya lying on Amamiya Natsuki's lap, the short-haired girl was instantly struck dumb, completely stunned.

"That's Kaguya-san?!"

Kaguya, who is pure and innocent, as unattainable as a flower on a high mountain, is actually willing to do that kind of thing for a boy.

And this happened in a classroom!

Unbelievable, it's just too twisted!

Those who secretly admire Kaguya must be devastated to see this!

"Kashiwagi-kun." Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at him, her voice soft, "You've come at just the right time."

The short-haired girl in front of him was his classmate with whom he went to the arcade to play arcade games. Amamiya Natsuki suspected that the girl had the ability to catch cheaters, otherwise how could she always appear at the crucial moment?

"Yeah, sorry!"

Kashiwagi Asuka snapped out of her daze and hurriedly bowed ninety degrees to apologize. Her petite body trembled, and her voice was panicked. "I didn't see anything. I promise I won't tell anyone."

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

"stop."

Amamiya Natsuki's voice turned somber.

The short-haired girl shuddered in fright, stopped timidly, and dared not move.

"Come here," Natsuki Amamiya commanded. "Look carefully for yourself."

They must prove their innocence on the spot.

If Kashiwagi escapes, both of their reputations will be completely ruined. Amamiya Natsuki doesn't care about reputation, but Kaguya, as a girl, certainly can't bear the nickname of a crazy young lady.

"Let me...let me go over and see clearly?"

Kashiwagi Asuka raised her hands, covering her pink lips in disbelief. Her face was a mixture of red and white, and she felt dizzy and about to crash, unable to think straight.

It's one thing to be ashamed of doing that kind of thing with Kaguya in the classroom, but why make yourself see it clearly?

Does Natsuki have a particular exhibitionist tendency?

Or... do you want to have Kaguya and me take turns?

Chapter 196 Natsuki-kun, Let Me Eat You Up?

"Pass, relay..."

Upon thinking of this, the short-haired girl, who often fantasized, immediately conjured up the corresponding image in her mind. Her face flushed red at a visible speed, and white steam billowed out from the top of her head.

The short-haired girl shook her head quickly, trying to banish the image from her mind.

No!

Using a relay baton or something is so unhygienic!

"What are you doing?" Natsuki Amamiya urged. "Come here quickly."

"Please, please don't yell at me..."

Kashiwagi Asuka, her eyes timid, like a girl about to be executed, dawdled over.

A terrible thought suddenly popped into my head.

The girl remembered a comic book she had secretly read before.

"It is common knowledge that only accomplices can keep secrets."

"Now it's your turn to take over from Kaguya... Hurry up, we need to take photos with our phones later."

Click, click, click.

The flash relentlessly took a series of shots.

Then came the devil's low murmur:

"From now on, you will do whatever I tell you to do. If you dare to disobey, I will post your photos online so that everyone can see them!"

"..."

The short-haired girl inevitably fell into her own imagination again, growing more and more panicked. Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at Amamiya Natsuki, pleading pitifully:

"Could you please not take photos?"

Amamiya Natsuki asked, puzzled, "What did you say?"

"I...I'll listen to everything you say from now on, except for photos."

What photo?

what are you talking about?

Amamiya Natsuki felt completely bewildered, unable to understand what the girl in front of him was saying at all:

"I'm just showing you the truth, why are you crying?"

"The...truth?"

The short-haired girl blinked her eyelashes, which were covered with glistening teardrops.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but the facts are right in front of you.” Amamiya Natsuki raised her hands and complained, “The wind blew away the note Kaguya had tucked in her book just now. She reached out to grab it, but she lost her balance and ended up lying on my lap. Her hair got caught somewhere, and she can’t get up for a while… Come here and see for yourself.”

Kashiwagi Asuka carefully circled around the corner of the table and looked toward Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya.

Just now, because of the angle, her view was blocked by a table, and she could only see the silly young lady lying on Amamiya Natsuki's lap, but she couldn't see exactly what they were doing.

There's no need to see it.

A lone man and a lone woman, not going home after school, and in such an awkward position—it's obvious they were doing *that* kind of thing, right?

Fortunately, the next moment, Kashiwagi Asuka finally circled around the corner of the table and saw the truth clearly.

Their clothes were neat and tidy, without the slightest dishevelment.

Kaguya tilted her head back; although her face was flushed, it was clean...

"sorry!"

After realizing the truth, Kashiwagi Asuka quickly bowed ninety degrees, her voice filled with fear, "I...I misunderstood you!"

"What have you misunderstood?" Amamiya Natsuki squinted. "Tell me."

Kashiwagi Asuka quickly covered her mouth and shook her head nervously.

If I dared to say it out loud, Kaguya would definitely kill me.

"Come and help me out." Amamiya Natsuki still held out her hands, looking at Kashiwagi, "Take a look and see where your hair is caught."

"give it to me."

Kashiwagi Asuka quickly nodded and stepped forward to help.

Kaguya Shinomiya clenched her teeth, wanting to refuse, but also feeling even more ashamed to be lying on the boy's lap like this. Torn between these feelings, she remained silent.

After a while.

"Ah, I found it, Kaguya's hair accidentally got caught on a hook on the side of the table..."

With the help of Asuka Kashiwagi, the tangled hair was quickly untangled, and Kaguya Shinomiya was finally freed from her restraints and stood up.
