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

As the narrator was about to reveal player information, Lady Zhu Zhu closed her eyes in despair, choosing to sacrifice herself to save others—

A girl who grows up in an environment of kindness will naturally be on the side of goodness.

Zhu Zhu's face flushed red. She turned around, braced herself against the wall with one hand, and bent over... willingly assuming a humiliating posture.

As Amamiya Natsuki looked up, a delicate, snow-white object came into view.

The hem of the magical girl uniform skirt wasn't long, and it wasn't noticeable when she stood up straight. But now, as she bent over, a glimpse of absolute territory between her stockings and the skirt was revealed, her fair skin as white and flawless as snow. In addition, one could vaguely see the outline of a full heart...

Amamiya Natsuki raised her right hand and said:

"I hit it?"

"Hurry up!"

Lord Zhu Zhu tensed up, closing his eyes in shame and indignation.

Even though it was meant to help others, it was incredibly shameful to make that gesture in public, especially during the day!

"That player, whose whereabouts are unknown, will remember your sacrifice and dedication."

Amamiya Natsuki's right hand fell.

Snapped.

The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the alley, its lingering echo reverberating in the air.

Chapter 299 Growing Bigger and Stronger, Creating New Glory

"Ouch, it hurts so much..."

Lady Zhu Zhu put her hands behind her back to cover her body, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and glared at me with a mixture of shame and anger.

"I'm sorry, I didn't control my strength well just now," Natsuki Amamiya apologized sincerely. "I'll definitely be more careful next time."

The narrator, who lacks intelligence, has just been deceived by the two again.

"no more chance!"

Lord Zhu was quite aggrieved.

Last night, when Chika and I were tricking the narrator, we were writing tally marks on Chika's legs, but when it was my turn, I got a spanking... Such differential treatment, it's so unfair!

“You should think positively,” Natsuki Amamiya coaxed. “For example, just now, we may have saved the life of an innocent player.”

"Who knows what might happen..." Lady Zhu Zhu gritted her teeth and couldn't help but say, "You could have written tally marks on my leg, right?"

Amamiya Natsuki paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Since Lord Zhu wants me to write upright characters, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"I didn't say that!"

"..."

The two talked as they walked toward the restaurant.

The narrator didn't start again during the journey, which made Lord Zhu secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Good morning, manager."

Natsuki Amamiya arrived at the store entrance just as the restaurant opened, preparing to open for business.

That being said, the two walked along the way, and the whole town was deserted. Apart from the players, they didn't see a single living person, and they had no idea where the guests were.

"Good morning, Grandpa Manager."

Lord Zhu bowed respectfully, his tone slightly nervous.

Last night, so many strange tales didn't dare cause trouble in the shop; the old shopkeeper in front of me must not be human.

The shop manager, an elderly gentleman, remained silent, nodded slightly as a greeting, and slowly prepared the ingredients for the business.

"Manager, do you need any help?"

Amamiya Natsuki inquired.

"No need," the old shopkeeper said without looking up. "I can prepare the ingredients."

What do we do now?

Master Zhu Zhu tilted her little face up, her eyes asking a question.

The store manager was preparing the ingredients by himself, while he and Natsuki Amamiya just watched from the sidelines, which felt a bit awkward.

Amamiya Natsuki pondered for two seconds, then gave the order:

"Go and wipe the table again."

"Oh."

Lord Zhu accepted the order and went to get busy.

After wiping the table, Natsuki Amamiya said again:

"Don't just stand there, sweep up the fallen leaves by the door again."

Master Zhu Zhu: "..."

I've never worked in real life, but I never expected to experience the joy of being a working person in a game.

Not long after everything was tidied up, a guest lifted the curtain and walked in.

"welcome……"

Zhu Zhu bowed instinctively, and after seeing who it was, she quickly held her breath.

Long, messy hair.

A beige trench coat.

White face mask.

And there are thick, sickly dark circles under her eyes... It's the ghost story of the Slit Mouth Woman.

Last night, I almost triggered the ghost story rules. The scene of having my mouth cut open by the Slit-Mouthed Woman is still fresh in my mind. Zhu Zhu quickly turned her head and cast a pleading look at Amamiya Natsuki.

"Welcome." Amamiya Natsuki walked up to Zhu Zhu and smiled. "Is the guest alone?"

"Ah."

The Slit-Mouthed Woman nodded gently.

Natsuki Amamiya asked again:

"Bring your own ingredients or buy them at the store?"

Both consumption methods are very common.

Bringing your own ingredients incurs processing and service fees, while purchasing ingredients from the store incurs additional ingredient fees, making it more expensive.

The Slit-Mouthed Lady silently extended her right hand and offered an indescribable fish.

Amamiya Natsuki took the ingredients and smiled:

"Please wait a moment, guest."

The Slit-Mouthed Lady silently walked to the corner and sat down. Faced with such a culinary disaster, Lord Zhu Zhu's 'snack' held no appeal for her whatsoever.

After half an hour.

The woman with the slit mouth put on her mask with satisfaction, her face flushed, and she walked out of the restaurant, leaving only a damp stain on the chair.

"That's ridiculous." As a waitress, Zhu Zhu was naturally responsible for cleaning up. Looking at the wet stains on the chair, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "She's sweating so much! It doesn't look spicy at all. I've never sweated this much when I ate Arctic Ramen. Luckily, it's not hot. Otherwise, she would definitely have gotten dehydrated and suffered heatstroke!"

Amamiya Natsuki said meaningfully:

"Perhaps it's not necessarily sweat."

"Huh?" Lord Zhu Zhu was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "If it's not sweat, what else could it be?"

Before Amamiya Natsuki could answer, Lady Zhu Zhu quickly opened her eyes wide and her little face flushed red as she said:

"You didn't put anything weird in it, did you?"

“Correct answer.” Amamiya Natsuki said without changing her expression, “Actually, I added taurine effervescent tablets to it.”

"Never heard of it!"

"..."

After a short rest, more ghost stories arrived, and Natsuki Amamiya got busy again.

Before long it was almost noon, a young girl lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Welcome..." Lord Zhu bowed subconsciously. "Eh, Hai Meng?"

"Zhu Zhu, we're back."

Kitagawa Kaimu smiled brightly, raised her hand in greeting, and then asked, "Natsuki, are you busy right now?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Haimu: "Just finished."

"Then come out and talk."

Aside from the restaurant staff, anyone else entering the restaurant would be subtly influenced and would feel an irresistible urge to eat. The longer this went on, the stronger the effect became. Therefore, no one else came in; Hai Meng was the only one called people from the doorway.

Natsuki Amamiya nodded, greeted the manager, and left the restaurant.

In the open space outside the restaurant, all the team members were present, and there was even an unfamiliar girl who was obviously a player.

“This is our friend Kojima, whom we met on the road,” Fujiwara Chika explained. “She’s very interested in the companion service, so she came with us.”

"Please take care of me."

This random player had a pale face, dry lips, dark circles under his eyes, and his clothes and hair were somewhat disheveled. It was clear that he had suffered a lot last night, probably living in fear until dawn without getting any proper rest.

Clearly, she wasn't a very skilled player.

Amamiya Natsuki looked over and said:

"Hello, I'm currently unavailable; the companionship service will have to wait until tonight."

"It's alright," the girl quickly said. "Please don't mind me."

Fujiwara Chika had already told her the details on the way here, so Kojima didn't doubt the truth of the matter.
