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

"..."

The ending was a foregone conclusion.

Facing two opponents, including a strong boy and a girl who could uproot cherry blossom trees, Kitagawa Kaimu's resistance was easily suppressed.

"and then?"

Kaguya Shinomiya cast an inquiring glance at him.

Amamiya Natsuki took out a pair of black blindfolds, put them on Haimeng, and then shook the rope in her hand: "Haimeng-kun, I'm starting."

"Uh-huh--"

"..."

why?

Why is this happening?

Traveling to a hot spring inn should be a happy thing, and meeting classmates from the same school should make it even happier. Why are you bound, blindfolded, and gagged?

Kitagawa Kaimu regretted it.

My mother was right; I shouldn't trust strangers too much.

Although Amamiya Natsuki was her classmate in junior high school, they didn't talk much in the neighboring class, and Shinomiya Kaguya was someone she only met in high school; they were all strangers.

After a while.

With her blindfold removed, the succubus girl regained her sight. Looking down at her body, she discovered that it was bound in a terrible position with ropes, and several tally marks appeared on her thighs.

The bound succubus girl knelt on the ground, while Natsuki Amamiya stood in front of her, her face shrouded in shadow.

Under the succubus girl's tense gaze, he reached out his right hand and gently rubbed the girl's head.

"Congratulations, you've now become Shizuku properly."

"Eh?"

The succubus girl was taken aback by these words. Her struggling body suddenly stopped, and confusion welled up in her eyes.

After a few seconds.

"Woo-"

The succubus girl struggled again, blinking repeatedly at Natsuki Amamiya.

Amamiya Natsuki reached out and removed the towel from the succubus girl's mouth.

"Natsuki!" Kitagawa Kaimu's cheeks puffed out, like a pufferfish that had been ravaged. "I'm angry!"

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at her in surprise: "Hai Meng, you remembered?"

"What do you remember?" Kitagawa Kaimu looked at Kaguya with a particularly resentful look in her eyes. "You actually teamed up with Natsuki to ambush me."

Kaguya Shinomiya gently reminded him:

"We're still in the hotel; the dungeon isn't finished yet."

"Huh?" Kitagawa Kaimu was startled, then her eyes widened. "I-I remember now..."

As Amamiya Natsuki helped untie the ropes, she explained what had happened: "We are now in the second layer of the Nightmare World, and your perception has been distorted."

The succubus girl puffed out her cheeks: "Even so, why did you have to tie me up and cover my eyes? Do you know how scared I was just now?"

"I don't want to either."

You were clearly having a lot of fun playing with me just now!

"..."

To be fair, Natsuki Amamiya really didn't want to use such a troublesome method to wake up Umimu, but she had no choice.

That's the message displayed above the succubus girl's head.

Unlike Kaguya, Haimeng's kisses no longer have the same impact on her mind.

Thus, the fall of the succubus girl was reenacted, the scene from the game was replicated, and Shizuku delivered the final blow.

Wearing only one outfit to cosplay Shizuku, what kind of true fan is that?

True fans, of course, will personally experience the process of Shizuku-sama's downfall!

"Where's Chika-chan?" Kitagawa Haimu rubbed her wrist, stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked around. "Why isn't she here?"

Amamiya Natsuki said, "We haven't found it yet."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Kitagawa Kaimu put her right hand on her hip, her tone becoming clear and bright again. "Let's go find Chika."

"..."

The three left the room and began searching for Fujiwara Chika's whereabouts.

The hot spring hotel wasn't very big, and after a thorough search, we quickly found the Secretary in the hotel's dining hall.

"Hey, there it is!"

Kitagawa Kaimu pointed.

“I see it.” Natsuki Amamiya looked over.

Fujiwara Chika was sitting in the corner, happily eating ramen.

"What should be done?"

Kaguya Shinomiya looked up.

Since Hai Meng can break free from nightmares without kissing, can Qian Hua do the same?

"Let me observe."

Natsuki Amamiya squinted at Chika. A notification had just appeared before her eyes when, in the next second, the entire world suddenly distorted, as if countless rays of light were flowing backward, and she suddenly appeared in the hotel lobby.

The world restarts.

Chapter 270 The succubus girl falls again

"what happened?"

Amamiya Natsuki stopped in her tracks in surprise.

It was as if the world before my eyes had suddenly changed in the blink of an eye.

One second, I painstakingly found Kaguya and Haimeng, woke up my friends, and finally found the Secretary in the cafeteria.

Before I could even approach her to strike up a conversation, she appeared at the hotel entrance the next second.

Amamiya Natsuki looked to the left and right.

There was no one around.

Only the cool evening breeze made the bamboo lanterns sway gently.

"strangeness……"

Amamiya Natsuki quickly calmed down and walked forward without making a sound.

Behind the counter, an old lady wearing reading glasses was knitting a sweater while listening to the radio.

Natsuki Amamiya arrived at the central courtyard.

A silver moon hangs high in the night sky, casting its clear, watery glow.

Under the moonlit sky, a giant cherry blossom tree is in full bloom, with petals falling like ice.

Natsuki Amamiya subconsciously looked towards the bench where Kaguya had sat, but the bench was empty, and the bunny girl was nowhere to be seen.

Kaguya is not here.

Natsuki Amamiya continued to observe discreetly and soon discovered several differences.

“The old lady who used to clean the corridor is gone, and the two old men playing chess by the stream have also disappeared... There’s another major difference.”

Amamiya Natsuki walked to the corridor where she had stood before and looked up at the sky.

The moon is in the wrong position.

To be precise, the problem lies in the angle between the moon, the corridor, and the cherry blossom tree.

The view I saw when I looked up at the night sky was quite beautiful, so Natsuki Amamiya had a deep impression of it.

At this moment, the moon's position is noticeably shifted slightly to the east.

There is only one possibility that could cause this phenomenon: time has been altered.

so……

"Is this the reboot that Kaguya mentioned?"

Natsuki Amamiya silently analyzed the situation.

Unlike Kaguya, this was his first time encountering the matter of rebooting, so he naturally had to be careful.

The sudden change in space, the inexplicable disappearance of Kaguya and Umi, suggests that the dream has been restarted.

"As for why the current restart is different from the location I was in when I entered the dream..."

Amamiya Natsuki quickly came up with an answer.

The core of this multi-person nightmare is clearly not oneself; within the nightmare, one is merely an insignificant figure.

The last time I entered the nightmare, it was obviously in the latter half of the dream, so before I could wake up Chika, I encountered the irresistible restart mechanism.

Fortunately, Jianzi's 'Advanced Vision Eye' is still active, so unlike last time, he doesn't need to return to his room in a daze and then look in the mirror to see the prompt.

Amamiya Natsuki quickly thought of something else.

"If I can retain my memories, what about Haimeng and Kaguya?"

"...A simple verification will tell you."

Natsuki Amamiya pressed her temples and waited silently in the corridor.

One minute.

Two minutes.
