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

Thinking of this, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at Natsuki Amamiya in front of her.

Everyone else only needs to go through the process once, but Amamiya Natsuki has to go back and forth all the time. She must be exhausted by now.

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"what happened?"

Kaguya Shinomiya asked in a low voice, and soon noticed that the right side of the cardboard box began to dent inwards silently, without making a sound.

Clearly, Shadow Cat has launched another attack.

"what--"

next second.

A majestic voice suddenly rang out.

Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya were both startled. Then, a tearing claw mark suddenly appeared on the cardboard box, and a thin ray of light shone in from the outside of the box.

What the hell!

Upon seeing this, Natsuki Amamiya was startled and quickly reached out to cover the crack.

Since humans can't catch their own shadows, the "anti-gangster" combo is completely useless. If the shadow cat were to invade, Natsuki Amamiya and Kaguya would have to commit suicide together!

Kaguya Shinomiya understood the seriousness of the situation and, being closer, used her hand to plug the crack first.

The space under the cardboard box was already small, and the two of them were standing close together. The moment Amamiya Natsuki turned her head, she clearly felt a cool, soft touch slide across her cheek.

Huh?!

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes widened instantly.

Did you run into them?

I felt that temperature just now, like being electrocuted. I must have touched it!

Upon realizing what was happening, Kaguya Shinomiya's face flushed rapidly, her heart rate exceeded 180 beats per minute, and steam billowed from the top of her head.

Even if it was just a touch on the cheek, it still counts as a kiss...

Feeling dizzy, Kaguya Shinomiya involuntarily recalled the punishment she received for losing the game that morning.

Did I just make up for the punishment?

"Wake up! Don't pass out!"

The two were very close, and Amamiya Natsuki could clearly see that the silly young lady's eyes had turned into mosquito coil eyes, and the strength in her hands was rapidly decreasing.

At a time like this, you still want to let go? Don't you know what danger is?

Seeing that Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes were glazed over and she was staring blankly at him, seemingly still reeling from the bombing attack, Natsuki Amamiya had no choice but to launch an even more powerful nuclear strike:

"Don't let go, or I'll kiss you!"

"And it was the kind of kiss that Sister Aye mentioned this morning!"

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya stared wide-eyed, her body trembling slightly, before hurriedly turning her pretty face away.

Trying to kiss in the way your mother suggested is completely inappropriate in terms of location and occasion!

"Are you alright?" a voice called from afar. "The shadow cat has left; you can continue your mission."

Amamiya Natsuki said in a deep voice, "Let's continue."

"I-I know."

"Cover the most important gap with one hand, without letting go."

"Ah."

Kaguya Shinomiya took a deep breath to calm herself down.

The two continued their actions.

After a while.

Shikimori and Pansy's voices finally rang out, "We have arrived successfully. You may get up now."

Amamiya Natsuki lifted the cardboard box, let out a soft breath, and turned to look at the silly young lady behind her.

Kaguya Shinomiya's pretty face was flushed, like the beautiful, fiery sunset on a summer day.

Eye contact.

Kaguya Shinomiya quickly looked away.

"Everyone's here." Shikimori said, gripping his bamboo sword. "Now we can discuss our next plan of action."

"The factory only has two floors."

"We are on the second floor, next to the hallway. There are no lights in the hallway. We can go to the first floor."

After a pause, Shishimori continued:

“I just went downstairs to take a look, and the hallway on the first floor still has lights on. The cardboard boxes don’t seem like they can hold up for much longer. Shall we go downstairs to find some more cardboard boxes and reinforce the area?”

"..."

"No need." Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms. "I already know how to beat the game."

Chapter 213 Putting the Cat in a Cardboard Box

Shi Shou's suggestion was conventional.

Now that the 'cardboard monster tactic' has been proven to be feasible, we can certainly replicate the tactic to be on the safe side.

Explore an abandoned warehouse.

Looking for cardboard boxes.

Reinforced.

Then, using the analogy of small animals crossing a river, they go back and forth, in and out...

But the shortcomings are also obvious.

It is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Furthermore, the cardboard box is not very secure; no one knows how long it can last, and the possibility of the cat tearing it during transport cannot be ruled out.

"...I have other ways to pass the level."

As Kaguya Shinomiya uttered those words, everyone turned to look at her.

"Huh?" Shikimori asked in surprise, "Does Hood-nyan have any ideas?"

Kaguya Shinomiya said calmly:

"Put the cat in a cage."

"Meow???"

Shiki tilted his head, and a question mark seemed to appear on the top of his head.

Put the cat in a cage?

That's just a shadow, not a real cat. You can't even touch it, let alone lock it up.

The boy with the spiky hair looked bewildered.

Pansy seemed lost in thought, raising her eyes to look at Natsuki Amamiya. Seeing Natsuki Amamiya's calm expression, as if she had expected this, she couldn't help but push up her glasses.

Her gut feeling told her that these two players weren't exaggerating.

"It's very simple..."

Kaguya Shinomiya dislikes riddle tellers.

Those characters in movies who die halfway through their sentences are incredibly annoying; you just want to beat them up until they come back to life and finish what they were saying.

Therefore, Kaguya Shinomiya did not mince words and stated her plan in a calm tone.

She and Natsuki Amamiya alone cannot carry out the plan; they definitely need the help of others.

"Huh? Huh?" Shikimori's eyes widened slightly. "You can do that?"

Pansy pondered, "It sounds...likely feasible."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

Whether the method is feasible or not, we'll find out by testing it.

"call……"

Shikimori let out a soft breath, his gaze resolute. "Then let's find a suitable location for the battle."

"..."

The group walked down the corridor to the first floor, where there were lights on both sides.

The corridor was brightly lit.

Unfortunately, it doesn't give people a sense of security; instead, it's fraught with danger and extremely perilous.

"I see it. There should be an abandoned warehouse to the right," Shikimori said softly. "...Admiral, let's go over there and see if we can push the door open and go in."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"Should we choose the front or the back this time?"

Shikimori instinctively clutched his lower back, the lingering sensation from when Natsuki Amamiya touched him still present. He glanced guiltily at Kaguya Shinomiya and whispered:

"I'll go first."

It's true that you want to have the initiative in your own hands.

Although she is a girl, Shikimori never wanted to depend on boys for everything.

Amamiya Natsuki gave a thumbs up: "Shikimori-kun is really cool."

"W-what?" The pink-haired girl blushed slightly and couldn't help but turn pale. "Handsome and cool are not words used to describe girls!"

"..."
