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

Chapter 260 Facing Death Without Hesitation: Komi

If you say write the correct characters, then write the correct characters.

At the very least, we must take sufficient action.

It's just talk; it won't fool the narrator.

Then Natsuki Amamiya transformed into a hungry wolf, her expression fierce, and holding a marker, she pushed the secretary onto the bench.

"do not want!"

"I'd rather die than surrender!"

"I won't let you write tally marks on your thigh. What if Mom finds out?"

"..."

Watching the two people acting, Lord Zhu Zhu had mixed feelings.

If I hadn't met up with Fujiwara, I'd probably be the one being bullied and pushed onto the bench right now.

rustling.

Strange sounds reached Lord Zhu Zhu's ears.

What was that sound...?

When Zhu Zhu turned her head, she saw that Komi, who was tall and a head taller than her, was trembling like a leaf.

"Should we call the police?!"

Komi's pretty face turned pale, and she nervously turned the notebook around.

Seeing the contents of the notebook, Master Zhu was speechless.

What kind of police report should I make?

No need at all.

When a person is scared, their face should turn pale. If you look closely, Fujiwara's face is so red; she clearly doesn't feel scared at all.

However, the narration continued.

Telling the truth now could cause unnecessary trouble.

Lord Zhu hesitated for a moment, then could only whisper:

"But how can we call the police without a cell phone?"

"..."

Komi froze instantly.

This is a dungeon space created by the game; even if you call the police, they definitely won't show up.

After a two-second pause, Komi-kun remained silent and looked down at his toes.

(Have you given up?)

Lord Zhu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

(As long as I don't cause any trouble.)

(But... what does it mean to turn your head left and right?)

Not long after, Koji raised his head again, bit his lower lip, and silently crumpled the notebook in his hand.

Lord Zhu Zhu saw this but was unable to react for a moment.

(What is Komi-kun going to do?)

"call……"

Komi took a deep breath, gripped her crumpled notebook, and with a resolute expression on her pretty face, strode toward Amamiya Natsuki.

(No, really?)

(Is this to rescue Fujiwara-kun?)

Lord Zhu Zhu's eyes widened in surprise as he suddenly realized what was happening.

(Were you turning your head left and right just now actually looking for usable weapons on the ground?)

(In a horror game, he actually disregards his own safety to challenge evil for others—that's too kind!)

"Komi-kun, wait a minute..."

Lord Zhu Zhu hurriedly stepped forward, trying to reach out and grab the girl with long, straight black hair.

Unfortunately, I was a step too late.

Natsuki Amamiya was already 'bullying' the secretary in front of the two girls, so she took two steps forward and could reach him with her hand.

boom.

The makeshift weapon made of crumpled notebooks struck Amamiya Natsuki on the head with a dull thud.

"..."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Amamiya Natsuki straightened up, silently turned her head, looked at the long-haired, black-haired girl behind her who was clutching a 'notebook' and trembling, and said softly:

"Why did you hit me?"

"..."

Komi-kun trembled, like a small animal facing a gray wolf. Despite her trembling body, she mustered her courage and spoke in a shaky voice:

"No, don't hurt..."

"What did you say?" Amamiya Natsuki tilted her head. "I didn't hear you clearly. Speak louder."

Komi's body trembled even more violently.

So, so scary!

There are such terrifying boys in the world... What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?

Will they bully me too, just like before?

"Don't bully Komi-kun."

Fujiwara Chika stood up and pinched Amamiya Natsuki's waist.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Amamiya Natsuki decisively raised her hands to apologize, her tone sincere, "Please forgive me."

"Eh?"

Komi-kun stared wide-eyed in surprise, her eyes filled with bewilderment, clearly unable to process what was happening.

"That was just acting, it's not what you saw." Lady Zhu Zhu stepped forward and explained in a low voice, "We weren't really bullying Fujiwara-kun."

"It was definitely acting." Fujiwara Chika smiled brightly and said in a clear voice, "Anyway, thank you for earlier."

"..."

Komi blinked, then slowly chose to believe.

Her smile was so bright, without a trace of grievance or fear, as if she had truly misunderstood.

"Actually, it's for the narration..."

Fujiwara Chika put her right hand on her hip and explained the whole story.

Amamiya Natsuki covered her head and sighed helplessly:

"In the end, I was the only one who got hurt. This kind of world is probably doomed."

Fujiwara Chika pouted and said, "It's just a notebook, it won't hurt."

Komi snapped out of her daze, quickly picked up her notebook, and started writing:

"I'm so sorry!! I not only misunderstood you, but I also hit you on the head. I'm extremely sorry!"

Feeling apologetic, the girl with long, straight black hair bowed deeply again at a 90-degree angle.

Then... Komi's body suddenly swayed and he fell forward.

"Hey, Komi-kun?"

"Are you OK?"

I heard worried voices in my ears.

Immediately afterwards, a hand reached out and firmly grabbed her shoulder, preventing her from falling.

Amamiya Natsuki grabbed Komi's shoulder, helped the girl up, and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Physical discomfort?"

"..."

Komi's pink lips parted slightly, still not daring to speak, and she bit her lower lip as she wrote in her notebook:

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy."

"Could it be a fever?" Lord Zhu Zhu guessed.

"Let me see." Fujiwara Chika stretched out her right hand and touched Komi's forehead, then tried her own forehead. "It's cool and not hot at all, so it shouldn't be a fever."

Amamiya Natsuki narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on the girl with long, straight black hair. A moment later, a notification appeared before his eyes.

[My mental energy is depleted, and I am feeling weak... While a diary is helpful, it should still be used in moderation.]

“It must be your skill,” Natsuki Amamiya said quickly. “You haven’t written that many words in a notebook before, have you?”

Komi shook his head.

Natsuki Amamiya added:

"Writing consumes mental energy. The dizziness and discomfort you feel now are symptoms of excessive mental energy consumption... Put your notebook away and don't write anything for the time being."

Komi quickly nodded obediently.

The interlude has come to an end.

"Kaguya-chan, Umi-chan, and Hanamori, we still haven't found them." Fujiwara Chika quickly got down to business. "Let's not go back to the restaurant for now. Let's go to the convenience store and make a copy of the map."
