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

Kaguya Shinomiya said expressionlessly:

"If you want to discuss the brain in a vat issue..."

"Second question," Natsuki Amamiya interrupted Kaguya abruptly, holding up a second finger, "Do you like bunny girl outfits?"

"do not like."

What would you do if someone forced you to wear a bunny girl costume?

"Make him disappear."

Hey, you're making people disappear like that? That's way too dangerous!

“So…” Natsuki Amamiya took a mirror out of her pocket and held it up in front of Kaguya, “What clothes are you wearing right now?”

"Eh?!"

Looking at herself in the mirror, even the ice sculpture-like young lady couldn't help but widen her eyes.

The rabbit ears on its head.

The black bow on her chest.

White, fluffy cuffs, and an incredibly embarrassing short skirt...

"how come?"

Kaguya Shinomiya's pink lips parted slightly, her pretty face showing an expression of disbelief and astonishment.

Impossible! How could I have worn such clothes without even realizing it!

Could there be something wrong with that mirror?

Coming to her senses, Kaguya Shinomiya stood up without saying a word, walked to the stream, and looked into it.

The stream gurgled.

The reflection of a girl by the water is visible.

Kaguya Shinomiya took a deep breath and bit her lower lip.

Her clothes remained unchanged, still the incredibly embarrassing bunny girl outfit.

In cases of cognitive distortion, everyone becomes accustomed to their current state unless someone points it out.

Now, Natsuki Amamiya is trying to point out the contradictions that contradict reality and bring Kaguya to her senses.

"Next, let's play a quiz game," Natsuki Amamiya pressed her advantage. "If you can't answer in three seconds, just skip it... Let's begin."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Kaguya and said seriously:

Do you remember why you came to the hot spring inn?

"I……"

"Next question," Natsuki Amamiya said three seconds later, "What did you have for dinner?"

Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."

Natsuki Amamiya: "What's the date today?"

Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."

Did it rain during the day?

"..."

“Look, you can’t answer a single question.” Natsuki Amamiya spread her hands.

Kaguya Shinomiya said:

"I remember now."

“It’s even worse to remember,” Natsuki Amamiya said seriously. “Not being able to remember anything can be attributed to disappointment, but you’re only now remembering whether it rained during the day… Is it possible that your memory is being quietly pieced together by some unknown force?”

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya frowned involuntarily, extending a finger to press against her brow.

Not right.

Something is definitely not right.

The corresponding memories did appear in my mind, such as eating sushi in the evening, today being April 10th, a Friday, and being dragged to the hot spring by Hayasaka... But why couldn't I answer such a simple question as whether it rained during the day?

Are my current memories... real or fake?

Kaguya Shinomiya took a deep breath, frowned, and whispered:

"who are you?"

"It's a pity we don't have any red or blue pills for you." Amamiya Natsuki said helplessly. It was troublesome to explain, but she still had to. "We are currently trapped in a nightmare. We must find the core of the nightmare in order to wake up."

If Natsuki Amamiya had said that right away, Kaguya Shinomiya would never have believed it.

The world is a nightmare, and I must wake up... Even a fool wouldn't believe it.

But after the question and answer just now, Kaguya Shinomiya has begun to doubt the world before her.

What if?

What if the boy in front of you isn't lying?

“I can’t believe it,” Kaguya Shinomiya said, frowning. “I need more evidence.”

“Even if you say that…” Amamiya Natsuki spread her hands and said, “Your mother’s name is Yotake, and her surname is Shimizu.”

Kaguya Shinomiya said expressionlessly:

"This kind of thing can be easily investigated."

"Do you have some misunderstanding about what 'easy' means?" Amamiya Natsuki complained. "Ordinary people simply couldn't investigate this kind of information that involves the privacy of a large family."

Kaguya Shinomiya remained noncommittal: "Anything else?"

“You have a personal maid,” Natsuki Amamiya said. “Hassaka.”

Kaguya Shinomiya: "...You'll find out if you bribe the staff at the villa."

I didn't realize you were so suspicious.

Kaguya Shinomiya sat back down on the bench, her expression now calm, and said in a clear, composed voice:

"If you want me to believe you, please provide conclusive evidence."

“Tsk~” Amamiya Natsuki curled her lips, “Chika secretly told me that Hasaka, like you, has small breasts and likes to stuff them with breast pads.”

Click.

The chill around the Ice Sculpture Young Lady suddenly intensified.

What's wrong with having small breasts?

I didn't ask you to spend money on underwear!

"Chika?" Kaguya Shinomiya covered her chest and looked at her with the eyes one would use to look at kitchen waste. "Are you close to Fujiwara?"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

“We know each other very well. She’s just like you, trapped in the nightmare right in front of you, but we don’t know where she is.”

Kaguya Shinomiya paused for two seconds: "...I have my doubts."

“Even if you’re right, Hayasaka does like stuffing that kind of thing in his mouth,” Kaguya Shinomiya said in a low voice, “but you said you heard it from Fujiwara, which might mean you forced him to find out through some strange means. It’s not convincing.”

To convince Kaguya, he had to reveal a secret known only to her, a top-secret one that Amamiya Natsuki didn't know.

"Headache." Amamiya Natsuki took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "It seems we have no choice but to use our last trump card."

Kaguya Shinomiya looked over curiously: "What is it?"

"Come closer," Natsuki Amamiya whispered. "No one else can hear this. It must be kept secret. Absolutely no leaks."

Kaguya Shinomiya hesitated for a moment, but curiosity finally prevailed, and she moved closer.

A delicate fragrance, like orchids and musk, wafted into my nostrils.

Even though it was a nightmare, the fragrance on her body was exactly the same, and it was completely indistinguishable from a fake one.

Amamiya Natsuki shifted her gaze upwards to the top of the ice sculpture young lady's head; the notification had already appeared.

Your first wife is trapped in a nightmare, unable to break free or wake up. After careful observation, you've discovered that only a sufficiently strong mental stimulus can awaken her.

After many attempts, you finally discover that only a kiss can save the world.

Chapter 268 The Hero Who Challenges the Ice Sculpture Kaguya

"Come closer."

"..."

"Closer."

"..."

As Natsuki Amamiya relentlessly pressed closer, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly.

too close.

I've never been so close to boys before, from childhood to adulthood.

Kaguya Shinomiya could even feel the heat emanating from the boy through the air.

"That's it."

Seeing that the distance between them was only about half a meter, Kaguya Shinomiya finally couldn't bear it any longer and warned them in a cold voice.

I don't want to get that close to strange boys at all; this is the limit of my tolerance!

"Ok."

Amamiya Natsuki helplessly shrugged.

I didn't realize that the Ice Sculpture Miss was so vigilant. She seemed wary and resistant to everyone. If it weren't for my earlier words, she probably wouldn't have been able to get even a meter away.

Anyone who gets even a little too close will be coldly driven away by Kaguya's wary gaze.
