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

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

"Senior, the dungeon opens tomorrow, right?"

Hayasaka Ai clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and looked up at me: "I want to challenge the dungeon with you tomorrow, senpai."

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly, offering a reminder:

"Dungeons are dangerous."

“I know.” Hayasaka Ai bit her lower lip and whispered, “As a player, you have to participate in a mandatory dungeon every now and then. You can’t keep running away from it.”

"I'd rather team up with seniors than play the game alone, and I'm sure Hai Meng and Qian Hua will also be participating."

The spy maid smiled broadly, her eyes sparkling under the light, seemingly radiating admiration: "And since you're so powerful, senior, you'll definitely protect me, right?"

"In my heart, my senior is the most amazing person."

"..."

This is a lie.

If given a choice, Hayasaka Ai would never want to get involved in the game. A wise man avoids dangerous situations, so it's best to stay as far away from such a risky game as possible.

But there's no way around it; Kaguya Shinomiya will definitely choose to act together tomorrow.

As her personal maid, she naturally had to go into the instance with her to protect Kaguya's safety.

As for saying things like "senpai is the most powerful person," that's just going with the flow. The strategy hasn't been abandoned; in fact, there's been no progress these past few days, and Hayasaka Ai has gotten really into it.

As a romance master who has read countless romance comics and has accumulated a wealth of theoretical and practical experience, it's incredibly embarrassing that I can't even win over a male high school student.

I, Hayasaka Ai, will definitely win over the man in front of me!

"Don't place your hopes on others." Amamiya Natsuki said calmly, slowly taking a sip of tea. "You're already a mature player; you should learn to become stronger on your own."

"That kind of thing is impossible, isn't it?"

“You can do it. Starting tomorrow, you will run ten kilometers and do one hundred push-ups every day.”

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

It's about ten o'clock in the evening.

Seeing that Zi was as usual, he sneaked over from next door.

Staying out all night is like saying "I am mortal with gambling and drugs"—once you taste the pleasure in them, you can never quit.

"Mom almost caught me this morning." Seeing her son come in, she patted the Akita's head. "When I got back, the bathroom light was on, and Mom was inside. Luckily, I managed to fool her... Was the room cleaned today?"

“No.” Natsuki Amamiya said matter-of-factly, “I’ve been waiting for you.”

"..."

Seeing that Zi couldn't help but scold her, she picked up the cleaning tools and began cleaning the room.

Just then, the doorbell rang again.

Amamiya Natsuki paused, then turned to look at the entrance.

Seeing that Zidu has already arrived, who else could it be so late?

Chapter 239 Since we're already here, of course we'll sleep together.

"Natsuki, good evening~"

The girl's bright and pleasant voice reached my ears.

Amamiya Natsuki opened the door.

The automatic sensor light turns on.

A blonde girl with a backpack slung across her shoulder stood outside the door, wearing a black choker around her neck. Under the light, her smile was bright and smug.

It was Kitagawa Kaiyu.

"You came all this way so late, why haven't you sent a message yet?"

As Amamiya Natsuki spoke, she opened the door.

"When I was taking a shower, there was an evil spirit in the bathroom. It actually crawled out of the drain. It was so disgusting. I used up my 'evil spirit begone' spell."

Kitagawa Kaimu walked briskly into the entrance hall and handed over the schoolbag in her hand:

"Who knew another evil spirit would appear and keep circling around the house, refusing to leave. It was so hard to bear, but I was thinking that I needed to get enough sleep before entering the game tomorrow, so I came over... Surprised? Unexpected?"

After saying that, he laughed to himself, clearly quite pleased with his "surprise attack".

Amamiya Natsuki said helplessly:

"Surprise, super surprise! I'm so excited I want to do a backflip!"

"Humph."

Kitagawa Kaimu smugly hummed twice, about to continue speaking, when she suddenly heard a girl's voice coming from the balcony.

"Natsuki, what are you saying?"

"..."

Kitagawa Kaimu's smile froze.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one can vaguely see a girl with long, straight black hair on the balcony.

Judging from the voice, it was clearly Jian Zi.

The clothes she was wearing were clearly pajamas.

It's almost 11 p.m., and a girl isn't going home; instead, she's still at the boy's house in her pajamas...

Kitagawa Kaimu bit her lower lip, her bright smile gradually fading. She looked down at her toes and whispered:

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I didn't know Miko was here... I'm sorry to bother you."

The blonde girl turned around and said, "Coming over without giving any prior notice is really too much... I'm going back."

boom.

Amamiya Natsuki pushed the door shut, raising an eyebrow as she said:

"You've already come all this way, do you really think you can leave?"

Kitagawa Kaimu bit her lower lip, suppressing the grievances in her heart: "...Won't staying bother you?"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"We'll just sleep together, it won't bother us."

"..."

Kitagawa Kaimu opened her eyes wide, like a pufferfish that had been rubbed and mangled, her pink cheeks puffing up instantly.

1. Sleep together?!

How could you even say something like that, wanting me and Jianzi to sleep with you?

brazen!

Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't help but clench her fists and punch Amamiya Natsuki's chest. They'd just kissed each other that afternoon, and now she was doing *that* with Miko that evening, and even wanted to have a threesome…

unacceptable!

We must beat that scumbag to a pulp today!

Natsuki Amamiya grabbed the blonde girl's wrist with one hand and reached his other hand to Haimeng's waist, pulling her closer to him with a slight force.

"W-What are you doing?"

The intense heat emanating from Natsuki Amamiya's arm made Kaimu Kitagawa somewhat flustered.

“Coming and going as you please is going too far,” Amamiya Natsuki said seriously. “I need an explanation.”

Kitagawa Kaimu wanted to bite someone after hearing that.

You actually expect me to explain? Shouldn't you be the one explaining at a time like this?

"No explanation." Kitagawa Kaimu ground her teeth slightly, glaring at him with a wronged expression. "Believe me or not, I'll call for Miko?"

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and shouted:

"Jianzi, come here for a moment."

"Eh eh eh?"

Kitagawa Kaimu was shocked.

You didn't even shout, but you called for help first?

Don't you feel awkward calling Miko over?

"coming."

Seeing that Zi agreed, he walked over from the balcony.

Kitagawa Kaimu quickly pushed Amamiya Natsuki away and tidied her hair.

"Hey, Hai Meng?"

Walking through the living room, she saw the blonde girl in the entryway and asked in surprise, "Why are you here so late?"

"Ahem, something unexpected happened..."

Kitagawa Kaimu coughed twice and explained the situation.

"Is that so?" Jianzi nodded gently. "Then let's sleep together tonight."

"Eh?"

Jianzi pursed her pink lips and explained her situation: "For the past few nights, I've been coming over after my mom falls asleep, and then sneaking back the next morning... I'm too sleepy in class."

"I see."

After hearing Miko's explanation, Kitagawa Kaimu breathed a sigh of relief.

The truth is super simple; it's not what I thought at all. Jianzi, like me, was forced to come and stay.

"I'll go get another blanket."
