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

"Later, we heard that someone had seen a human who looked like you, so we went to look for him. The neighbor lady we met was able to rewrite other people's memories... In the end, we finally managed to escape and rescue Komi-kun along the way."

"There was a scary old lady at the convenience store just now..."

Without giving Kaguya Shinomiya a chance to interrupt, Chika Fujiwara finished recounting her experiences in the alternate world after they separated, let out a satisfied sigh, and then asked curiously:

"Kaguya-chan, why are you wearing a bunny girl outfit?"

Natsuki Amamiya looked at Kaguya.

Needless to say, they must have used the Shadow Cat transformation skill.

Even though your clothes will 'fall off' every time you use it, it's still an incredibly useful skill.

"This is the effect of the costume card." Kaguya Shinomiya turned her pretty face away, covered her chest, and explained in a low voice, then said, "I was just with Haimeng."

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya looked behind Kaguya.

Empty.

There was absolutely no blonde bombshell in sight.

Lord Zhu Zhu, who had been standing quietly to the side, perked up upon hearing Hai Meng's name and quickly said:

Where are the people from Hai Meng?

“They’re still in the ghost stories.” Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head, her expression grave. “Only I escaped using my abilities.”

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Please explain the specifics."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly and began to recount her experience after entering the dungeon.

She and Hai Meng arrived at the same place in the instance, and as soon as they landed, they encountered a strange tale.

“It’s a cozy inn.” Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips and whispered, “The ghost stories inside… are strange, they keep restarting.”

What does "reboot" mean?

Fujiwara Chika raised her right hand and asked curiously.

“What has happened before will be experienced again from the beginning,” Kaguya Shinomiya said. “It’s a never-ending cycle of starting over.”

Lord Zhu tilted his head: "Like a song playing on repeat?"

"More or less," Kaguya Shinomiya continued. "It's not just about starting over; there are even more dangerous situations. Besides Haimeng and me, there are other players in the inn."

"Everyone was looking for a way to leave the hotel, but during another restart, one of the players suddenly started acting very strangely... He would just keep repeating one sentence, which was very wrong."

At this point, Kaguya Shinomiya looked up at Natsuki Amamiya and continued:

"Hai Meng said that the backstabbing hero who appears from time to time in the narration must be you."

“That’s right.” Amamiya Natsuki nodded. “It’s me. Looks like my efforts weren’t in vain.”

Kaguya Shinomiya continued:

"When the fourth restart was about to begin, I tried using the Shadow skill and unexpectedly managed to leave the inn through the Shadow. After that, I saw the map you posted at the intersection and came here."

Before entering the game, Kitagawa Kaimu didn't want the 'Shadow Cat' skill and only had one Anti-Evil skill, so she couldn't skip class together.

After listening, Fujiwara Chika quickly clenched her fist and said:

"Let's go! To the hotel! To rescue Hai Meng-chan!"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Kaguya: "Did you use it for the anti-gang campaign?"

"It was used up by Hai Meng." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded gently. "Unfortunately, it still restarted in the end."

Amamiya Natsuki extended her right hand and said:

"It seems the target is wrong."

Kaguya Shinomiya extended her hand, and the two naturally clasped hands.

Komi looked over curiously.

Holding hands...does that mean they're dating?

next second.

Fujiwara Chika then took Amamiya Natsuki's left hand from the other side.

"Well?!"

Komi-kun's eyes widened in surprise.

Three people holding hands?

why?

Is it possible that all three of them are dating?

Chapter 263 Rescue Operation

Why is this happening?

"Stop daydreaming, hurry up." Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at Komi-kun, "I need to copy your ability."

"copy?"

Komi's eyes were filled with confusion.

Lord Zhu whispered, "I just want to hold your hand."

Komi-kun: "...!!!"

The girl with long, straight black hair looked at Fujiwara Chika with pleading eyes, flustered.

Although she was afraid to talk to people, she wasn't stupid. Through traveling together and observing secretly, she had already figured out the order of the food chain in the team.

Natsuki Amamiya is the core of the team.

Zhu Zhu... without a doubt, a mascot, her words carry no weight.

Fujiwara Chika is like the manager in the food chain; she is the only one who can 'advise' Amamiya Natsuki.

It goes without saying who to ask for help.

Holding hands with boys is just too, too scary!

"Don't worry, Komi-kun," Fujiwara Chika replied with a bright smile. "I'm here for you."

"call……"

Komi breathed a sigh of relief, her heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled.

Since Fujiwara promised to protect me, she'll definitely keep her word, right?

next second.

Then Fujiwara Chika continued:

"Just hold hands for five minutes, and as soon as the time is up, make him let go of your hand."

Komi-kun: "..."

Why, why, why?

Why hold your own hand?

Komi was trembling, but when she tried to speak, her communication disorder kicked in, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Fujiwara Chika smiled and said:

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes?"

"..."

Komi quickly shook his head.

No way!

“This is a special situation.” Amamiya Natsuki said calmly, in an unyielding tone, “I have an ability to copy your skills.”

"We will not let go of any weight that can tip the scales."

When faced with ghost stories, one must go all out.

The skills copied from Komi might not be useful, but if you need them and don't have them, you'll definitely regret it.

As Amamiya Natsuki spoke, she displayed her skill panel.

[Zhang San, you're under arrest!]

[Get stronger by lying down]

Touch of Fate

[Evil Spirit Repelling Aura (Under Sealing)]

[Advanced Vision Eyes]

[Psionic Constitution]

[A Foodie's Guide]

[The Sheep Transformation Technique]

【role play】

【Shadow Cat】

……

The various skills on the panel left Komi-kun staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

"many."

Lord Zhu also let out a soft exclamation.

After joining the player mutual aid group, she realized that many players nowadays don't have any skills, like her. Seeing so many skills now is truly shocking.

There seem to be many skills, but most of them are one-time skills copied from other games. You can only store one skill, and once it's used up, it's gone.

Even if you don't use it, the skill will slowly disappear over time... Even so, it's still quite exaggerated.
