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

Taking a deep breath, Shigemori quickly spoke.

"Wang~"

Her voice was soft and sweet, and perhaps because of her embarrassment, it even had a slight tremor.

Amamiya Natsuki silently reminded him, "Speak more forcefully."

Others are wolfhounds, but you're a sweet little puppy with such a soft, gentle voice—who would be scared of you!

"Then why don't you shout it yourself?" Shikimori's pretty face flushed slightly as she couldn't help but say, "Why do I have to shout it?"

Barking like a dog in front of a strange boy is so embarrassing!

Natsuki Amamiya said in a serious tone:

"Shikimori is so imposing, it would feel really cool to call him that."

"What's so cool about barking like a dog?!"

"..."

The situation was critical, and there was truly no other way. The pink-haired girl took a deep breath, suppressed her shame, and shouted again:

"Wang."

The cardboard box wobbled slightly.

Amamiya Natsuki tried pushing forward and quickly said, "We can move forward now."

"Huh, it actually works?"

Shishimori tried moving the cardboard box forward and found that it actually started moving, which made his eyes light up.

The fact that barking like a dog can actually scare away a shadow cat, whether it's a coincidence or not, is a good thing.

"Let's keep moving forward!"

Shi Shou made a quick and decisive statement, his gaze becoming firm.

The two seized the opportunity and moved forward quickly.

Before long, the cardboard box sank silently again, becoming fixed to the ground and unable to move, clearly being pressed down by the shadow cat once more.

"Wang Wang!"

A majestic bark rang out, successfully scaring away the shadow cat.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened, and Natsuki Amamiya and the pink-haired girl successfully passed through the Death Corridor and arrived in the shadows.

"We are coming."

Shishimaru breathed a sigh of relief and turned to say, "There are no lights ahead. It's a corner of a corridor. We can take the cardboard box down now."

"Ah."

Amamiya Natsuki agreed, got up, pushed away the cardboard boxes on the two of them, and arrived at the corner of the corridor shrouded in shadow.

Turning around to look behind me, I saw a brightly lit corridor more than twenty meters long, where I could see the inky shadows of cats running and jumping on the walls.

"Get up first."

Amamiya Natsuki reached out and pulled the pink-haired girl up. Looking down at the surface of the cardboard box, she could see claw marks on it.

"Trying to pass through with just a cardboard box on your head? It's not that simple after all."

Shikimori tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, straightened her skirt, and frowned as she spoke softly.

Cardboard boxes are, after all, paper products, and no one knows how long they can withstand the attacks of Shadow Cat.

“I’m more curious about something else.” Natsuki Amamiya stretched out her finger and gently stroked the cat scratch marks on the cardboard box. “Why was there no sound at all when the box was all torn?”

"this problem……"

Shiki pursed his lips, trying hard to think. A clue vaguely appeared in his mind, but he couldn't quite grasp it.

“I’m going back.” Natsuki Amamiya quickly squatted down and disguised herself as the cardboard monster again. “Master Shikimori, I entrust my life and my life to you.”

Shikimori gripped the bamboo sword in his hand, his gaze resolute: "...Leave it to me."

Chapter 211 The veteran driver continues driving

The return trip was a solo trip.

Without needing to cooperate with others, Natsuki Amamiya moved even faster on her own, and soon arrived at the middle of the passageway carrying the cardboard box.

then.

The cardboard box sank again, as if it were imprisoned on the ground.

"Wang!"

The girl's imposing voice came from behind, and Amamiya Natsuki quickly regained her mobility.

Without wasting any time, Natsuki Amamiya continued forward with the cardboard box on her head.

"We're almost at the warehouse entrance," Shikimori reminded him from behind. "You're just one meter to your right and in front of you."

Following the girl's manual navigation, Natsuki Amamiya quickly arrived at the warehouse door and called out:

"I'm home, open the door."

The door opened quickly.

Natsuki Amamiya carried the cardboard box on her head into the abandoned warehouse.

boom.

The door was closed, shutting out the light from the hallway.

"How did it go?" the girl with the braided pigtails looked over expectantly. "Did you succeed?"

Seeing Natsuki Amamiya return, I knew the operation must have succeeded, but I still couldn't help asking a question.

"The class monitor is indeed incredibly intelligent." Amamiya Natsuki gave a thumbs up.

"……never mind."

The girl with the braided pigtails turned around and scolded him.

The class monitor is the class monitor.

As long as I can successfully complete the game, I might even consider calling myself "Dad," let alone "class monitor."

Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at the silly young lady and smiled:

"I am back."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly, her eyes clear and bright.

Kaguya Shinomiya had no doubt that Natsuki Amamiya would return.

If their roles were reversed, she would not hesitate to come back and pick them up; that's how it is.

Why are there scratches on the cardboard box?

Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly frowned.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"I was just attacked by the Shadow Cat."

Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her lips, took a half step forward, and carefully examined Natsuki Amamiya's body.

"How could they still be attacked?"

The boy with the spiky hair was startled.

The girl with braided hair pushed up her glasses and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"I wasn't injured, but I was severely frightened," Natsuki Amamiya said casually. "It would be great if I had the class president's lap pillow."

"..."

A slight pain in my lower back.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the silly young lady in shock.

You actually pinch people?

The sun has risen in the west!

So all girls seem to have mastered this trick without any instruction!

"Natsuki was clearly enjoying herself; she didn't seem frightened at all."

Kaguya Shinomiya looked over with a sweet smile.

Sure enough, all girls are terrifying creatures who say one thing and mean another.

"..."

It didn't take up too much time.

After briefly recounting what had happened along the way, Amamiya Natsuki looked at the hedgehog-haired man and said, "Let's go."

Having had driving experience the first time, you'll be much more skilled the second time, knowing when to go fast, when to go slow, and how to prioritize.

In short, the two made it through the corridor unharmed.

"You can remove the cardboard box now."

Shi Shou's voice rang in my ears.

Amamiya Natsuki opened the cardboard box and stood up.

"You've worked hard," Shikimori said softly. "There are still three colors left and... Hood Nyan, keep it up."

Instead of rushing back, Amamiya Natsuki asked:

"Was it the cat that pressed down on the box just now?"

“It is indeed the Shadow Cat.” Shikimori nodded, pursing her pink lips slightly, her tone hesitant, “I don’t know if I’m seeing things… what it’s pressing down on isn’t the cardboard box, but the shadow of the cardboard box.”

"I see."

Amamiya Natsuki understood.
