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

Jianzi quietly pushed open the door, looked down into the corridor, and then her eyes twitched slightly.

There was no one in the hallway; it was already very late, and both Mom and Kyosuke were asleep. But that didn't mean there was nothing else there.

A slender, pale-skinned female evil spirit was wandering in the corridor. When she heard Miko open the door, her head shot out like a snake and stretched out in front of Miko, her empty eye sockets staring directly into Miko's eyes.

"You... can you see me?"

A sinister, hollow, and ethereal voice reached Miko's ears.

Seeing that Zi secretly pinched her thigh, resisting the urge to avert her gaze, she bit her lip and walked out of the room, saying as she went:

"I've drunk a lot of water, I should go to the restroom..."

"Can you see me?"

The slender evil spirit followed Miko downstairs, occasionally poking its head in front of her.

Seeing tears welling up in her eyes and biting her lower lip, she went out and arrived at the door of Amamiya Natsuki's house, where she rang the doorbell.

Natsuki Amamiya was playing a game when she heard the doorbell ring, so she got up and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a tearful child stood outside.

"why are you crying?"

Halfway through her sentence, Natsuki Amamiya saw the slender evil spirit that had followed Miko and immediately understood the whole story.

"You... can you see me?"

The slender evil spirit came before Natsuki Amamiya.

Amamiya Natsuki remained expressionless and looked at Miko: "This vengeful spirit has such a long neck, she must have a serious case of cervical spondylosis, right?"

"How could a demon possibly have cervical spondylosis!"

Seeing that Zi was nervously clinging to Amamiya Natsuki's arm, she couldn't help but complain.

"You...can see me!!"

Upon hearing the two's conversation, the thin, wiry spirit's voice suddenly became shrill, its eyes turned red, and it pounced forward.

Evil spirits, begone!

The evil spirits that stepped into the aura's range were instantly engulfed in transparent flames, turning to ashes little by little amidst screams.

"It's incurable, beyond saving. We can only help it find release sooner." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Miko, whose eyes were brimming with tears. "It's not like this is the first time you've encountered an evil spirit. Why are you crying?"

Jianzi rubbed her eyes and said in a resentful tone, "It was standing right outside my room. I wasn't prepared at all. It's already a miracle that it didn't bark."

Although the "door-opening kill" tactic is old-fashioned, it has to be said that it can really scare people.

"Let's talk after you come in."

Amamiya Natsuki brought Miko back to the living room.

"Good evening, Xiaojianzi."

Mrs. Kaguya sat on the sofa, turned her head to look at you, and waved with a smile.

Seeing that Zi had calmed down, after all, she was a veteran of many battles: "Sister Ye, good evening."

Mrs. Kaguya smiled and said:

"You've worked hard, Xiaojianzi. Let Natsuki give you a bath."

Seeing that Zi was speechless, he asked, "Why are you scrubbing yourself?"

“In a certain game, scrubbing yourself in the bath can quickly restore your mood.” Mrs. Kaguya held up one finger. “If Miko is in a bad mood, it will affect her rest.”

“That makes sense.” Amamiya Natsuki rested her chin on her right hand and nodded in agreement. “Let’s go, let’s go to the bathroom and practice scrubbing.”

Seeing Zichen approaching, she said, "I won't go to the bathroom with you!"

"..."

After talking for a while, it was already 11 p.m. before we knew it.

"Where are you going to sleep tonight?" Amamiya Natsuki turned off the TV and looked at Miko. "My room, or the living room?"

Seeing that Zi pursed her pink lips, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly said:

"The living room, that's where Haimeng and Qianhua used to live."

“That works too.” Amamiya Natsuki nodded. “The bed in the room is a bit small after all.”

Seeing Zi Bai come over, she said, "I'll go get the blanket."

The blankets were quickly made up.

The lights are off.

The night is like water.

Seeing that Zi was holding her phone, she said softly, "The alarm is set for six o'clock tomorrow morning."

“I don’t think seven o’clock is too late,” Natsuki Amamiya commented.

"It's too late, Mom was already up at seven o'clock." Seeing that her son was lying down, she covered him with the blanket. "It's six o'clock."

Seeing that Zi turned her head and looked at Amamiya Natsuki not far away, she felt an immense sense of peace in her heart.

Just now I was feeling anxious, worried that Amamiya Natsuki might launch a surprise attack at night. Although we are childhood friends, we only share the experience of taking a nap together.

It's the first time she's ever sneaked out at night to sleep with a boy, so she's definitely going to be very nervous.

Seeing that the son thought it was how it should be.

However, at this moment, Jian Zi found that he felt no tension or fear, only an indescribable peace and tranquility.

A wave of weariness washed over her, and she felt her eyelids suddenly become heavy, and she could no longer open her eyes.

As the faint "goodnight" reached my ears, my consciousness completely sank into a state of chaos.

Jianzi only opened her eyes again when the alarm clock rang.

The girl with long, straight black hair frowned slightly, reached for her phone, glanced at the time, and then her eyes widened in surprise:

"Huh, it's already six o'clock?"

It felt like just a blink of an eye, and when I opened my eyes again it was six in the morning, unbelievable.

Amamiya Natsuki was also woken up by the alarm clock. She turned to look at Miko and said, "It's not dawn yet. Sleep for another half hour."

"I'm not sleeping anymore. Mom will be up in half an hour." Seeing that Zi had sat up, feeling exceptionally energetic and super comfortable, she couldn't help but stretch, her lips slightly upturned, and a smile appeared on her face. "I'm going back now."

He tidied his clothes, changed into casual clothes, changed his shoes in the entryway, and saw that his son moved quickly and soon pushed open the door to enter the yard.

In May, although the sun has not yet risen, the sky is already bright.

Seeing her look up at the faintly bright early summer sky, take a deep breath, happily clench her fist, and walk briskly home:

"Finally, I can get a good night's sleep!"

"..."

It's 7:30 in the morning.

On the way to school.

"stare--"

Yurikawa Hana opened her eyes wide and asked curiously, "Why does Miko seem to be in such good spirits today? She always seems so..."

"What does a lazy bum look like?"

Natsuki Amamiya took over the conversation.

“That’s right.” Yurikawa nodded. “She’s the lazy girl.”

"Even a salted fish can turn its fortunes around sometimes." Seeing that she was in a good mood and didn't care at all, she glanced at Mrs. Kaguya next to Yurikawa, coughed twice, and said, "Hana, do you want to play a game later?"

"Huh?" Yurikawa was taken aback. "What game?"

"Yesterday's board games..." Seeing that Zi had turned her back on her best friend, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. "Qianhua said she didn't have enough fun yesterday and wants to play some more games today."

"That's right, it's me."

Mrs. Kaguya happily made a peace sign.

Because it's a ghost, it can't perceive smells, tastes, temperature, etc., so it's quite tough.

Only through Yurikawa Hana could she rediscover 'warmth,' which is why Kaguya-sama liked to stay by Yurikawa's side.

But now it's different.

As long as Natsuki Amamiya can copy Yurikawa's abilities, Kaguya-sama can regain warmth anytime, anywhere.

For example, in the past, charging was done at fixed locations, with both the location and time being fixed. Now, it has become wireless charging.

So, Mrs. Kaguya sent a message to Fujiwara early in the morning, agreeing to continue playing 'The Truman Show' today.

Apart from Yuri Kawana, who is a player, everyone else is a traitor who is just there to play along.

“Okay!” Yurikawa’s eyes lit up and she happily agreed. “Yesterday’s game was really fun, and I’d like to play it a few more times.”

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Miko and whispered, "This is a win-win-win situation, so just enjoy the game and don't always feel sorry for Yurikawa."

"Where is the win-win-win situation?"

Seeing that the child was speechless, she looked over.

Hua was very happy.

Sister Aye was very happy.

Who is the last winner?

“It’s me.” Amamiya Natsuki pointed to herself, calm and composed. “Holding a girl’s hand openly and honestly, that’s enough to make my life worthwhile.”

Seeing that Zi was biting her lower lip, she couldn't help but complain:

"...Shameless!"

"..."

Speechless all the way.

The three of them quickly arrived at the school.
