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

As a professionally trained spy, it would be incredibly unprofessional of her to be shy about holding hands with a boy!

"Speaking of which, on my way to work this afternoon, I passed by a park and I think I saw my senior and Kaguya-senpai." Hayasaka Ai casually took over the conversation. "At the time, we were a bit far apart, so I didn't dare to go over and acknowledge them."

Hayasaka Ai had already investigated Kaguya's movements that afternoon: first she went to the arcade, then to the park, and finally she took a car back to the villa.

She didn't go home with the boy in front of her.

I've never been to a hotel.

Then she secretly told a dirty joke about how radishes grow bigger but don't get thinner, but the silly young lady still didn't understand.

obviously.

The young lady's virginity remains intact.

Calm down and think it over carefully. There will definitely be a lot of people in the park in the evening. In public, the young lady would never do that kind of thing with a boy.

So Hayasaka Ai became even more curious.

What happened that made the young lady eat the popsicle in that way?

We must find out!

“You read that right, it’s me and Kaguya.” Natsuki Amamiya replied casually.

"Huh?" Hayasaka Ai blinked, propped her chin up with her right hand, and looked at Amamiya Natsuki. "But Kaguya-senpai looked so happy back then. It was the first time I'd ever seen her smile, so I didn't dare to acknowledge her."

"It's probably because people are in high spirits when they have something to do."

"Oh, is it a happy occasion?"

“She drew a skill,” Natsuki Amamiya said. “Now she can take on ten of you.”

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

It turned out to be the case.

The young lady unlocked a skill without even telling me. No wonder I was in such a good mood all night.

It's normal that they don't tell you your identity since it hasn't been exposed yet.

but……

"Isn't it a bit of an exaggeration to say you could take on ten of me?"

Hayasaka Ai puffed out her pink cheeks slightly.

As a genius girl, Kaguya Shinomiya has great talent in archery, kendo, karate and other arts. She looks delicate and weak, but she is actually as unassuming as Lin Daiyu and can uproot a willow tree.

But I am not weak either.

Even if just two of them attacked together, let alone ten, the young lady would still be defeated.

“Don’t you believe me?” Natsuki Amamiya looked at Ai Hayasaka. “If Kaguya chooses a suitable scene, all of us combined wouldn’t be enough to defeat her.”

The Shadow Cats in the dungeon are unclear whether they are actually living beings, but it's obvious that those things aren't very intelligent.

Based on real-life cats, their intelligence is estimated to be only that of a two- or three-year-old.

Even so, the entire player group was almost wiped out.

The tactic of turning into a shadow and attacking someone else's shadow is highly likely to result in falling victim if the weakness is not known in advance.

What if those two Shadow Cats had the intelligence of a player?

Take Kaguya-sama: Love Is War for example.

High intelligence.

calm.

reason.

They are decisive.

They never let us down at crucial moments.

Once transformed into a Shadow Cat, it will undoubtedly become a top-tier hunter.

Of course, with such powerful skills, there will definitely be limitations, and they cannot be used at will. We'll have to wait until tomorrow's test to find out the specifics.

"finished."

Amamiya Natsuki released her right hand; the copy and paste was successful.

"Thank you, senpai." Hayasaka Ai picked up a bamboo skewer and poked a takoyaki ball in it. "It tastes amazing, senpai, don't you really want one?"

"Don't eat."

"Oh, what a pity."

"..."

The evil spirits have been banished, but Hayasaka Ai doesn't leave immediately.

“Senior, I want to flip a coin.” Hayasaka Ai clenched her right fist and pressed it to her chest. “I don’t know when the large-scale dungeon of Zoo Ghost Stories will open, and I want to become stronger as much as possible so that I can help everyone.”

Then you're going to be disappointed today.

Natsuki Amamiya took out a coin and handed it to the spy maid.

"Give."

"Thank you, senior."

After a while.

A girl plagued by bad luck is born once again.

Damn, damn, damn!

Hayasaka Ai bit her lip gently, so angry she wanted to stomp her foot.

Of everyone, am I the only one who hasn't shown my true colors yet?

I'm plagued by bad luck every day, and I always feel like someone is targeting me from the shadows!

"Looks like I'm having a bad day." Hayasaka Ai took a deep breath, returned the coin, and pitifully grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's wrist, tilting her pretty face up like a little animal seeking security. "Senpai, we shouldn't have so many unlucky things happening in the room, right?"

"You're in big trouble." Amamiya Natsuki leaned back, her expression serious. "Do you know what the worst thing you should do when you're down on your luck is?"

"Huh?" Hayasaka Ai was taken aback, blinking curiously. "What is it?"

Amamiya Natsuki sighed softly, "Don't make promises you can't keep."

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

For the next half hour, Hayasaka Ai remained on high alert.

Even so, I still had two unlucky moments: once I kicked my toe, which hurt so much that tears welled up in my eyes, and another time I bit my tongue while speaking.

"Senior, I'm going back."

Hayasaka Aiko bid farewell and left.

"..."

It's 10:30 p.m.

Seeing that Zi had sneaked over again, it was clear that after getting a taste of the flavor, Zi would only stay out all night more and more often.

"...You'll have to mop the floor yourself today!"

"I'm not going to put it off any longer, let's go to sleep."

Silent all night.

the next day.

Natsuki Amamiya, Miko, and Hana Yurikawa, who lived nearby, went to school as usual.

In May, the breeze is gentle and the sun is shining brightly, making it especially comfortable to walk on the street.

Because of Kaguya-sama's existence, today is still another day where everyone is a villain, bullying the ignorant little lamb.

"Good morning, Hua-chan."

Fujiwara Chika smiled brightly, having waited for a long time.

"Good morning, Chika-chan."

"Shall we go to the arcade and play some games?"

"Yeah."

"..."

Seeing her best friend agree without a second thought, Jianzi sighed inwardly.

You've been sold out, and you're still counting the money for the seller—that's a perfect description of you.

The group returned to the game club.

Not long after, Kitagawa Kaimu and Shinomiya Kaguya appeared, and the team was reunited.

“Wait a minute, I have something to say.” Fujiwara Chika raised her chin slightly and said firmly, “Yesterday’s punishment has not yet been carried out.”

Everyone looked at it.

"Well, how about we just forget about it?" Yurikawa Kaori suggested tactfully. "Just like with kissing, we can skip the Pocky challenge from now on."

“That’s right, I have a suggestion.” Kitagawa Kaimu crossed her arms and nodded in agreement, “From now on, there will be no need to enforce any punishments for violating school rules when playing games.”

“Speaking of violating school rules…” Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at Haimeng, “Why would the disciplinary committee members at the school gate let you in? You don’t climb over the wall every day, do you?”

As a prestigious school, there are disciplinary committee members on duty at the school gate every morning. How did a hot girl like you get in?!

“I didn’t climb over the wall.” Kitagawa Kaimu raised her chin and explained her method of doing things. “I buttoned up my clothes at the beginning and then tied them up again after I got into the school.”

"Where are the earrings?"

"They were all decorations. I took them off before entering the school and only got two ear piercings above my earlobes."

"..."

at the same time.

“I refuse.” Fujiwara Chika said seriously, “There are rules to follow in life, and there are rules to follow in games. This is my way of the ninja.”
