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

Master Zhu Zhu looked up at him with her little face.

If Natsuki Amamiya hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have known about the two suns at all, and would probably have already run out like an idiot.

learn from mistakes.

Lord Zhu has made his decision. From now on, he will obediently follow orders, going east when told to go east and west when told to go west, without hesitation.

“There’s one last room left to explore,” Natsuki Amamiya said. “Find the key and enter the room.”

Lady Zhu pursed her pink lips: "I've already looked it over, but I didn't see the key anywhere."

"No, there's still one place we haven't searched."

Amamiya Natsuki turned her gaze to the vengeful spirit she was holding in her hand.

"Eh?"

Lady Zhu was taken aback and asked doubtfully, "The key isn't on her, is it?"

"There wasn't even a piece of clothing, let alone pockets."

"Not wearing clothes doesn't mean you can't smuggle things in," Natsuki Amamiya said seriously. "In prisons in Europe and America, inmates have to strip naked for a physical examination before entering the prison, but some people still manage to smuggle items using 'prison wallets'..."

"What are you saying?!"

Zhu Zhu's face quickly turned red.

That's a vengeful spirit, not a prisoner in a Western prison. It wouldn't do such a terrible thing!

Amamiya Natsuki exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Zhu Zhu actually understood?"

"I didn't understand!"

The pink-haired girl turned her face away, her ear tips turning red.

“High school students these days,” Natsuki Amamiya sighed, “know so much more.”

Zhu Zhu glared at her, blushing with embarrassment: "You're a high school student too, you know!"

"Since you understand, then the task of the inspection..."

"No! Absolutely not!" Lady Zhu couldn't help but complain, "If we do something like that, Miss Wraith will go berserk!"

"..."

At that moment, a voice devoid of emotion suddenly rang in their ears.

(I am a female high school student who wishes to remain anonymous. I have amassed a fortune at a young age, and when playing poker, I hate it when people say they can't beat a pair of Aces.)

(As a paranormal enthusiast, I entered Musashino Elementary School, where, it is said, a ghost story about a girl named Hanako exists in the easternmost toilet stall on the second floor.)

(At this moment, the little girl's laughter lingered outside the door.)

(I hope Hanako didn't find me hiding in the second-to-last cubicle...)

The narration ends here.

"Could it be Kaguya-san?"

Lord Zhu blurted out the answer.

Amamiya Natsuki glanced over upon hearing this.

You yourself can't afford A, so you're able to see through other people's true intentions at a glance!

“I don’t know.” Natsuki Amamiya shook her head. “Based on the information we just received, we can’t be sure it’s Kaguya.”

“The narrator’s intentions were indeed sinister, revealing the hiding place of the second-to-last compartment directly,” said Natsuki Amamiya. “The possibility of hearing narration in ghost stories has increased once again.”

As Amamiya Natsuki spoke, she turned her head and looked at the dark, vengeful spirit beside her: "Miss Vengeful Spirit, could you hear the narration just now?"

"..."

Miss Wraith did not respond.

"What a pity," Natsuki Amamiya sighed. "Examining the body of an unresponsive vengeful spirit greatly diminishes the fun."

Lady Zhu was shocked: "You...you really want to check there?!"

"Of course, one should keep one's word."

Don't apply the concept of keeping your word to something so absurd!

"Give."

Amamiya Natsuki handed the flashlight to Zhu Zhu, saying, "Help me with the light."

"..."

Lord Zhu took the flashlight, his expression extremely complicated and conflicted. He wanted to stop him, but if he actually did that, he felt he would lose his right to be a human being.

However, there was no other way to pass the level...

Natsuki Amamiya reached out and removed the paper bag hood from the vengeful spirit, ignoring her bloodshot eyes, and pried open her jaw:

"Zhu Zhu, take a picture."

It turned out to be a mouth.

Lord Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood on tiptoe to shine the flashlight over.

"Tsk, she didn't even hide the key in her mouth." Natsuki Amamiya looked into the vengeful spirit's mouth. "Isn't the most dangerous place supposed to be the safest place?"

"Strange, why is her mouth full of something black?" Lord Zhu asked curiously. "What is that?"

Amamiya Natsuki extended two fingers, touched it briefly, and quickly said, "It's soot and charcoal dust."

Why would such a thing exist?

Zhu Zhu tilted her little head.

Amamiya Natsuki hesitated for two seconds, then suddenly asked, "Can you feel the temperature in the room getting higher and higher?"

"It seems to be getting warmer."

Lady Zhu raised her little hand and fanned herself in front of the air, then wrinkled her delicate nose, "There seems to be a strange burnt smell..."

Natsuki Amamiya looked at the vengeful spirit and threatened her expressionlessly:

"Since the key isn't in her mouth, we should check the prison wallet... I suspect Miss Wraith doesn't understand jargon, Zhu Zhu, explain it to her."

Zhu Zhu's little face flushed red again: "I don't understand either!"

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Natsuki Amamiya assured her.

Lady Zhu bit her lower lip: "Then why don't you say so?"

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

"What if I, a guy, get reported for talking about those kinds of topics with a girl?"

"..."

no way.

Lady Zhu finally agreed, her face flushed, and she leaned close to Miss Wraith's ear, stammering a brief explanation.

"I'm done talking." Zhu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly backed away to create some distance. "It's definitely useless, right...wait, wait?"

Under the flashlight beam, the vengeful spirit's eyes suddenly began to move, followed by a hoarse and unpleasant voice, as if she had finally screamed herself hoarse.

"Door……"

It turns out.

This vengeful spirit still retains some consciousness; she is not one of those evil spirits in reality that are reduced to mere instincts.

Now that they are aware of this, they can start using coercion and enticement.

"It really spoke." Lady Zhu was startled and instinctively hid behind Amamiya Natsuki. "We tried, but the bedroom door won't open."

"Door……"

Miss Wraith's voice was still hoarse and unpleasant as she managed to utter a single word.

"I probably know."

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly, stepped to the bedroom door, reached out and took down the sign hanging on the door, turning it over to the back.

A key stuck to it came into their view.

Zhu Zhu was speechless: "...The key was hidden in a place like this."

It's truly a case of the darkest place being under the lamp.

It's even harder to find than if it were hidden inside someone's mouth. What a clever old man.

Amamiya Natsuki took the key and inserted it into the keyhole.

Click.

The bedroom door finally opened.

Amamiya Natsuki held up a flashlight and shone it inside. The light pierced the darkness and swept across the bed, revealing two figures lying on it.

Zhu Zhu's eyes widened: "...How could this be?"

Chapter 246 Light Speed ​​Clear

"There's someone in the bed!"

"Saw."

"Those two people... they look like us."

Zhu Zhu's eyes widened in disbelief, and her little hand instinctively grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve.

"Be confident, drop the 'seems' part." Amamiya Natsuki said calmly, her expression unchanged. "It's us."

The bedroom wasn't big; it only contained a single bed and a wardrobe.

Under the flashlight beam, two people were clearly lying on the single bed.

On the outer side was a petite girl wearing a pink and white magical girl uniform. Because the single bed was small, she had to curl up in the boy's arms like a cat to avoid falling off.

The two people were none other than Amamiya Natsuki and Lady Zhu Zhu.
