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

The two, carrying cardboard boxes on their heads and disguised as cardboard monsters, began their operation.

Nothing bad happened.

The two moved to the warehouse door, and with a gentle push, the door slid inward with a dull, rusty sound.

"Good, the door is not locked."

The two moved and entered the warehouse.

Shikimori cautiously peered out through the 'artificial hole' and quickly breathed a sigh of relief: "There are no lights inside, you can get up now."

Natsuki Amamiya pushed open the cardboard box and looked around...

"It's too dark, I can't see clearly."

Finally, I cautiously turned on the flashlight before I could see my surroundings clearly.

It looked similar to the warehouse upstairs. It was a large space, but most of the items had already been moved out. The place was empty and deserted, with some cardboard boxes and broken wooden boards lying around in the corners.

"Yes, this is the place."

After inspecting the environment, Natsuki Amamiya nodded in satisfaction and transformed into a cardboard box monster to pick up the others.

The rest is self-explanatory.

Amamiya Natsuki is now a seasoned driver, driving with ease and skill, knowing exactly what to prioritize.

Before long, the pansy and the spiky-haired boy were delivered to the warehouse.

In the end, only Kaguya Shinomiya remained.

"Kaguya-san, it's your turn."

Natsuki Amamiya beckons to Kaguya.

Upon seeing the cardboard box, Kaguya Shinomiya recalled the accidental kiss from earlier, and the temperature on her face, which had just cooled down, quickly rose again.

"Hurry up," Natsuki Amamiya urged. "Don't dawdle."

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lower lip, her pretty face flushed, and crawled under the cardboard box.

"You're not saying anything." Amamiya Natsuki said in a low voice, "If you feel dizzy or about to faint, remember to tell me beforehand."

"I'm not going to faint!"

Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but scold him.

Amamiya Natsuki said, "You fainted this morning."

“Morning is morning.” Kaguya Shinomiya puffed out her pink cheeks. “I’m not the same person I was in the morning anymore.”

This morning in the game club, I actually fainted because my heart was beating too fast.

humiliation!

Utterly humiliating!

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"How are you different from this morning?"

"I……"

Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lower lip.

What just happened... even though it was an accident, it still counts as entering a completely new realm, right?

In Hayasaka Ai's words, they have already stepped onto the ladder of adulthood!

Before long, Natsuki Amamiya and Kaguya Shinomiya successfully arrived at the warehouse.

Kaguya Shinomiya took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Then, let's begin preparations."

"..."

After a while.

"Ready to go," Shikimori said quickly. "Hood-nyan, we can begin."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded gently, placed the flashlight on the ground, and turned it on.

A bright beam of light suddenly tore through the darkness, illuminating the wall in a snowy white light.

The group held their breath and looked nervously at the wall. Soon they saw a cat in shadow form appear on the wall in the light.

"Appeared."

The girl with braided hair spoke with a slightly nervous tone.

On the wall, besides the shadow cat, there is a cardboard box—made from scrap cardboard from the warehouse, which is then placed in front of the flashlight after being adjusted to the right angle.

To be precise, it was the shadow of the cardboard box projected onto the wall.

The shadowy cat appeared in the light and quickly approached the cardboard box, cautiously probing it as if it were a cat hunting a mouse.

Then... he clearly made a leaping motion, jumping into the shadow of the cardboard box.

As we all know, no cat can resist a cardboard box.

Shadow Cat is no exception.

"Inside!"

Shishi's eyes lit up slightly, and without hesitation, he stretched out the wooden board he was holding and pressed it directly onto the cardboard box.

The shadows of cardboard boxes on the wall suddenly appeared topped by a thick shadow-pressing plate.

Natsuki Amamiya looked at the cardboard box in front of the flashlight. She could see the box bulging outwards silently, and it was clear that Shadow Cat was inside.

"The cat is locked up inside!"

"Quickly reinforce the wooden planks and seal it off!"

"..."

Chapter 214 Madam, you don't want our daughter to get hurt, right?

"They actually caught them!"

Seeing the cat trapped inside the shadows, the players were overjoyed, but their feelings were also quite complicated.

Using shadows to create traps and ensnare shadow monsters... it all feels like something beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Don't just stand there, quickly reinforce the cardboard box so that Shadow Cat doesn't get out."

The boy with the spiky hair quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and began to reinforce the cardboard box.

Having finally managed to lock the cat inside, we naturally can't let it escape.

Amamiya Natsuki did not step forward.

Looking at the spiky-haired boy squatting on the ground, he silently pulled out a baseball bat... This thing is a blind box item, an ordinary prop, which cannot harm evil spirits, ghosts, vengeful spirits, or similar creatures. It feels better to use it to play baseball.

Of course, it's also quite effective at hitting people.

"Admiral, what are you doing?"

Seeing Amamiya Natsuki's actions, Shikimori's eyes widened in confusion.

It's one thing if you don't step forward to help, but why did you suddenly pull out a baseball bat?

What's the use of this thing?

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

"I'm just doing this as a precaution."

"What are we on guard against?"

The girl with braided pigtails frowned slightly, her mind racing with ideas.

Is he being wary of his teammates?

In treasure hunt movies, the team members go through countless hardships to finally find the treasure, but often end up fighting amongst themselves and dying together.

The problem is, there are only shadow monsters in front of us, and no treasure at all, right?

next moment.

Sudden changes occur.

Suddenly, another shadow cat, as thick as ink, appeared on the dazzling white wall. It was larger than the shadow cat that had just been caught and pounced silently, instantly knocking the spiky-haired boy to the ground.

boom!

Caught off guard, the spiky-haired boy was directly affected by his own shadow, falling to the ground as if dragged into the darkness by an unseen force.

"Ahhh! Help me!"

The boy with the spiky hair panicked immediately, screams and cries for help rang out at the same time, and the scene instantly turned chaotic.

"There's a second Shadow Cat!"

"That's right, the mission notes said, 'The cats are already starving,' so it wasn't a shadow cat to begin with!"

The two girls immediately understood what Amamiya Natsuki was guarding against.

"hold onto!"

Shikimori's pretty face hardened, she gripped her bamboo sword tightly, and strode forward to help.

With a low shout, the bamboo sword in his hand suddenly slashed down.

And then... nothing happened.

The bamboo sword didn't touch anything; it was just swung in the air. In fact, the force was so great that it caused a dull ache in both arms from the strain.

"...Oh no, oh no!"

Shi Shou quickly realized what was happening.

The cat on the wall is a shadow, and Yamazaki, who was attacked, is also a shadow. No matter how much he swung his bamboo sword, he could not harm the shadow in the slightest.

"How to do?"
