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

"Whether it is or not, we'll know once we meet up with the others," Natsuki Amamiya said calmly, holding the charred spirit. "The most urgent thing is to leave the haunted house first."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Lord Zhu Zhu hurriedly nodded, almost forgetting that he was still in the haunted house.

Amamiya Natsuki raised her flashlight and shone it around.

The lights inside the house were already broken, so we could only use a flashlight for illumination.

The 'haunted house' is a very common ordinary apartment, with a bathroom, living room, entrance hall, balcony, and a small room with a closed door.

Small but complete.

The room wasn't furnished much, just some basic household items: a sofa, a small square table, an old television set... In short, it was quite ordinary.

"This haunted house looks very ordinary, not scary at all."

Lord Zhu looked around curiously.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Then shall I take off the veil of the vengeful spirit?"

"No!" Lady Zhu Zhu looked up and scolded, "Keep it on."

The appearance of the vengeful spirit in the haunted house is truly indescribable, especially her blood-red eyes. Even now that she has been captured, her eyes still send chills down one's spine.

and so……

I'm sorry, Miss Wraith.

You should just keep wearing the hood.

"Check the room and gather clues," Natsuki Amamiya said, pulling the vengeful spirit along with her. "Complete the filming plan as soon as possible."

Stepping onto the balcony, Natsuki Amamiya reached out and pushed the door open.

"As expected, it won't open."

The door remained firmly shut, clearly indicating that the game was designed so that players could not escape by jumping off the balcony.

“It seems to be evening outside.” Zhu Zhu stood on tiptoe, close to Amamiya Natsuki on the other side, and looked out the window. “The sun will be setting soon.”

The light outside was dim.

A red sun quietly sank in the west, with nearly half of it already below the horizon.

Natsuki Amamiya looked at the row of dead trees outside the house and added:

"Judging from the height of those trees, we should be on the second floor."

There is a door on the side of the balcony, and a rabbit sign is hanging on the door.

"This should be the bedroom." Amamiya Natsuki grabbed the doorknob and tried to open the door, but as expected, it wouldn't open... Let's go check the bathroom.

Lady Zhu agreed and followed closely beside Amamiya Natsuki with small, quick steps, not daring to go far.

When the two arrived at the restroom, Amamiya Natsuki did not hesitate or be cautious; she reached out to push the door open.

"Slow down," Lord Zhu said anxiously. "Don't be in such a hurry."

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

"I bet there are no vengeful spirits in the bathroom."

Zhu Zhu looked up at her with her little face: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because Miss Vengeful Spirit is a single dog."

As Amamiya Natsuki spoke, she pushed open the bathroom door.

Lady Zhu held her breath and peered nervously inside... The bathroom was completely empty; there was absolutely nothing there.

"On the low table just now, there was only a mosaic water glass. Although there were several pairs of shoes in the entryway, they were all the same size."

Amamiya Natsuki stepped into the restroom, leaving her flashlight on the sink. "There's only one toothbrush in the restroom too."

"I see."

Lord Zhu quickly realized what was happening.

Shoes, teacups, toothbrushes, cushions... these things may seem insignificant, but they are all indispensable necessities in life.

Clearly, Miss Wraith is a single person living alone.

Natsuki Amamiya held up a flashlight and swept it across the restroom.

Compared to the empty living room, the bathroom was quite messy, with towels lying on the floor and the showerhead hanging down, looking like a complete mess.

"I have a feeling something must have happened in the bathroom..." Zhu Zhu thought to herself, her imagination running wild. "Could it be that a bad guy broke in and killed the apartment owner in the bathroom, causing a vengeful spirit to be born?"

“Possibly.” Natsuki Amamiya nodded slightly, not denying Zhu Zhu’s guess. “What we need to do now is continue to gather clues and verify the guess.”

The two left the restroom.

Next to it is the entryway, which is quite narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through, and then there is the door to the room.

Natsuki Amamiya held a flashlight, its beam falling on the door.

You can see countless messy handprints, dents, and even marks from being chopped with a kitchen knife on the door, which looks shocking.

"Shall I try opening the door?"

Lady Zhu pursed her pink lips, glanced at the vengeful spirit lady held in Amamiya Natsuki's hand, mustered her courage, and stepped forward, "The entrance hall is too narrow, it's inconvenient for you to move around."

In horror games, the first thing you can't do is be a bad teammate.

Secondly, you must demonstrate your value; it's time to step up!

As Zhu Zhu spoke, she walked to the door and grasped the doorknob: "Although it's impossible to open it... Eh?!"

Click.

The door was open wide and unobstructed.

"Wow, it's open?"

Zhu Zhu opened her eyes wide, slightly parted her pink lips, and her little face was full of disbelief and astonishment.

What happened to the haunted house that you were supposed to go into and never be able to leave?

The door is way too easy to open!

Amamiya Natsuki raised her eyebrows slightly, a look of surprise also appearing on her face.

The corridor is right outside the door.

Looking into the distance, a desolate and lonely town with a strange tale-like atmosphere comes into view.

The sun was halfway down in the west, about to sink below the horizon, and a vast twilight enveloped the earth.

"How did it... turn on?"

Lord Zhu blinked, somewhat bewildered.

"Never mind all that." A look of surprise appeared on the pink-haired girl's face. "Natsuki, let's get out of here quickly!"

Once you step out of the room and into the hallway, the mission to escape the haunted house will be complete!

Although I don't know why the door of hope could be opened so easily, it doesn't matter. Let's get out of the haunted house first!

"do not move!"

Amamiya Natsuki's serious voice suddenly rang out.

"Eh?"

Lord Zhu turned his head, puzzled, and asked in a questioning tone, "What's wrong?"

Amamiya Natsuki said in a deep voice, "Come here first."

"……Oh."

After a slight hesitation, Lady Zhu Zhu took a few quick steps back to Amamiya Natsuki's side, tilted her little face up in confusion, and couldn't help but ask:

Aren't we going out?

Amamiya Natsuki pointed towards the door: "What's that?"

"Hmm..." Lord Zhu hesitated, "The sky?"

Natsuki Amamiya added:

"I meant that red object on the horizon that's about to set."

Without hesitation, Lord Zhu Zhu blurted out:

"It's the sun."

Why ask yourself a question that even a three-year-old knows?

I totally don't understand.

“Then…” Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at Zhu Zhu and asked, “What was that sun we just saw on the balcony?”

"Eh?"

Lord Zhu Zhu's expression was initially somewhat confused, then she suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Just now, when I looked out from the balcony, I said to myself, "The sun will be setting soon." The balcony and the entryway are in opposite directions...

Two suns?!

“There can’t be two suns in the sky,” Natsuki Amamiya said calmly. “Logically speaking, either one is true and the other is false, or both are false. Therefore, there is a very high probability that the area outside the door is a trap.”

boom.

I carefully closed the door.

Zhu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated to Amamiya Natsuki's side.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not normal that the door of a haunted house, where no one can leave, could be opened so easily!

"What should we do now?"
