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

Unfortunately, the verification method has nothing to do with being cool.

"Ready?"

Natsuki Amamiya walked to the door and grasped the doorknob.

"Okay."

Shishimori spoke with a firm tone, and then, like a caterpillar carrying a cardboard box, he slowly made his way forward.

"I opened the door."

After finishing speaking, Natsuki Amamiya reached out and opened the door, letting the light from the corridor shine in at an angle.

"call……"

Shikimori let out a soft breath, squatted on the ground, holding the cardboard box on his head, like a sneaky treasure chest monster... It was a cardboard box monster, and he carefully moved into the corridor.

And then... nothing happened.

"Success."

Seeing this, the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't rush, verify it a little longer," Natsuki Amamiya said. "It would be best to go in and out seven times."

"Squatting while walking is already tiring enough, going in and out seven times is just too exaggerated!"

"..."

The live-fire exercise was successfully completed; now it's time for action.

"I'll go first." Shikimori said with a dashing and handsome air, "I don't know if there will be any danger ahead."

Natsuki Amamiya looked at Kaguya and said, "I'll be right back."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded gently and said, "Be careful."

"..."

After a brief exchange of words, the operation officially began.

Are you in front, or am I in front?

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Shikimori.

Since the cardboard boxes are not very big, they cannot be moved side by side. The most suitable way to move them is naturally one in front of the other.

"Hmm..." Shikimori pursed her pink lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Should I be in front?"

As a highly proactive girl, Shikimori instinctively wants to take the initiative rather than simply follow behind others.

“No problem.” Natsuki Amamiya didn’t try to take over the command and nodded in agreement. “We can set off now.”

"Ah."

With the help of the other three, Natsuki Amamiya and Shikimori quickly squatted down, lifted the cardboard box, and began to quietly move outwards.

The Cardboard Monster has officially launched its attack.

"I'll call out left and right, which represent the left foot and the right foot respectively," Shikimori whispered. "Follow my rhythm and try not to fall behind."

"clear."

Natsuki Amamiya nodded gently.

"Then... let's go."

Under the watchful eyes of others, Natsuki Amamiya and the pink-haired girl with a bun transformed into cardboard monsters and successfully made their way up the corridor, then began to move forward little by little.

The corridor is brightly lit.

The area beneath the cardboard box was dark, and the deadly assassin, Shadow Cat, did not appear.

Before long, at the corner of the corridor ahead, a dimly lit environment finally appeared.

"There's still half the distance left..."

Silently calculating the remaining distance in his mind, Shishigami breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the speed is slow, it won't be long before we're out of the corridor. Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen...

next second.

boom!

The cardboard box suddenly shook.

Amamiya Natsuki lost control of his body and bumped into the fragrant pink-haired girl from behind.

Chapter 210 Majestic and Imposing, Dog-like Girl

Entered successfully by pressing F.

Squatting while walking makes it difficult to maintain balance, and with the sudden impact from behind, Amamiya Natsuki crashed directly into the pink-haired girl with a bun in front of her, her right hand involuntarily gripping firmly for support.

Very thin.

She has a very slim waist.

You couldn't tell from her clothes, but once you touched her, you'd realize that the girl in front of you had an exceptionally slender waist.

Shikimori stiffened slightly, feeling both embarrassed and angry. Knowing she couldn't blame anyone, she could only bite her lower lip and quickly whisper:

"What's wrong? Why can't the cardboard box move?"

"do not know."

Natsuki Amamiya looked up at the top of the cardboard box, and a prompt quickly appeared before her eyes.

You see a cat on top of a cardboard box; cardboard boxes are the final resting place for all cats!

There was a cardboard box blocking it, so I really couldn't see it.

Amamiya Natsuki said in a deep voice:

"Something is pressing down on the cardboard box from above."

"Hey, is that Shadow Cat?"

Shi Shou's eyes widened slightly.

In the brightly lit corridor, the only thing that can move freely and attack the player is the cat in its shadow form.

"The cat is just a shadow, how could it be pressing down on the cardboard box?" Shikimori felt a little confused. "A shadow shouldn't have any weight at all."

"There is only one truth." Natsuki Amamiya said seriously, "After eliminating all impossible answers, what remains must be the truth."

"...Don't imitate Conan at times like this!"

Shiki couldn't help but complain.

"Up there."

Amamiya Natsuki and Shikimori looked up together at the top of the cardboard box.

In the dim light, you could see that the top of the cardboard box was slightly dented downwards, as if something was moving and scratching on it. Strangely, the box didn't make a sound.

Shi Shou bit his lower lip tightly, trying to push the cardboard box forward.

However, the cardboard box seemed to be controlled by an unknown force and could not move forward at all.

"How to do?"

Shigemori couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

There's still half the journey left. Even if we open the cardboard box and run away now, we definitely won't be able to escape.

"Stay calm, it's not a big problem," Natsuki Amamiya said calmly.

"...This guy has an amazing attitude."

Shikimori couldn't help but turn her head to look at her, her pretty face slightly flushed. "Could you please take your hand away first?"

It's one thing to grab your waist, given the urgency of the situation and not to be so petty, but why pinch it?

"Sorry, I couldn't help it."

Natsuki Amamiya spoke sincerely.

"Um?!"

"Let me explain." Amamiya Natsuki released her hands. "When I'm thinking about something, I have a habit of unconsciously pinching things."

"..."

Shikimori bit his lip gently. If the cardboard box hadn't been so small that he couldn't move, he would have had the urge to swing his bamboo sword and slash at it.

Can't you think straight just because there's no one around?

“I’ve got it,” Natsuki Amamiya said quickly. “I’ve thought of a way.”

"any solution?"

Shi Shou's pretty face froze for a moment, then she rallied her spirits.

Escaping the corridor is the most important thing right now; everything else can wait.

"Have you heard of the idiom 'cats and dogs in turmoil'?" Natsuki Amamiya lowered her voice.

Shikimori hesitated, "...How come I remember it being 'restless and chaotic'?"

“They’re pretty much the same,” Natsuki Amamiya continued. “Cats and dogs are always the easiest to fight. Since it’s the cat that’s holding down the box and preventing us from moving, barking like a dog might scare the cat away.”

"Really useful?"

Shi Shou frowned, her tone skeptical.

“We’ll know once we try,” Natsuki Amamiya said calmly. “It’s better than doing nothing.”

"……I see."

Shi Shou paused for a second, then quickly nodded in agreement.

Sitting idly by and waiting for death was never her choice.

Until the very last moment of the game, no one should give up easily.
