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

Fujiwara Chika put her left hand on her hip and extended her right hand towards Shinomiya Kaguya.

Kaguya Shinomiya also thought it was unreliable, but... it's just rock-paper-scissors, there's no harm in trying it.

Then Kaguya Shinomiya lost five games in a row.

"Hey, I won again?" Fujiwara Chika blinked, her voice clear and bright. "Looks like the horoscope show was right, I really have good luck today."

Looking at Fujiwara, who proudly raised his chin, Kaguya Shinomiya began to question her life.

Is my luck really that bad?

“I’ll do it.” Natsuki Amamiya looked at Kaguya and raised her right hand. “Fujiwara-san seems to be having a lot of luck today. The best thing to do is not to play with her.”

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lower lip slightly and began playing rock-paper-scissors.

This time, we finally won.

"Kaguya-chan, how is it?" Fujiwara Chika looked over expectantly.

Kaguya Shinomiya gently shook her head, her expression calm: "It's useless."

As expected, the rock-paper-scissors game did not meet the task requirements.

"Let me think about it some more..." Fujiwara Chika pondered again, "Um, Kaguya-chan is so good at archery, how about she participates in a kyudo competition?"

As an all-around beautiful girl, Kaguya Shinomiya is not only academically gifted, but also excels in tea ceremony, flower arrangement, dance, koto, aikido, naginata, and archery. Among these, archery is her strongest skill, and she won first prize in the national competition when she was in junior high school.

If you participate in the archery duel, the probability of completing the mission is indeed very high.

but……

"My physical strength doesn't allow it," Kaguya Shinomiya gently shook her head.

Even though she's an all-around beautiful girl, Kaguya Shinomiya has her weaknesses, such as physical strength. As a young lady from a wealthy family, she has a lot of things to learn and doesn't have time to run and jump around or exercise. Therefore, Kaguya Shinomiya's basic physical strength is lower than that of an average girl.

In a game, this would be like a marksman with high attack power but low defense and health, who would be easily defeated.

Kaguya Shinomiya had just considered the possibility of a kyudo duel.

She was very confident in achieving the goal of killing 100 people, but she couldn't do it in one day because her arm would break halfway through.

In fact, Kaguya Shinomiya had considered all the sports-related matches, but unfortunately, her serious lack of stamina forced her to reject them all.

"How about playing shogi?" Fujiwara Chika asked again. "Kaguya-chan is super smart, she's good at both shogi and go, she should be able to kill 100 people in a day, right?"

“The mission requires demonstrating military strength, while chess should be an intellectual game,” Natsuki Amamiya pondered. “In any case, we’ll only know by trying.”

“I remember there are shogi pieces in the board game club’s drawer,” Fujiwara Chika said quickly. “Shall we go check it out now?”

"Ah."

The three of them went to the board game section together.

Fujiwara Chika finds out shogi and begins a game with Shinomiya Kaguya.

In less than ten minutes, the two were decided, with Fujiwara Chika suffering a crushing defeat.

"It still doesn't work." Kaguya Shinomiya's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"I can't think of a solution." Fujiwara Chika slumped weakly onto the table.

Natsuki Amamiya carefully considered her words before speaking:

"I've thought of a way that might work."

"Hey, what's the solution?" Fujiwara Chika quickly sat up straight. "Natsuki-kun, tell me quickly."

"You guys have played arcade fighting games, right?" Natsuki Amamiya asked.

"I've heard of it, but I've never played it," Fujiwara Chika shook her head.

Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms over her chest: "Never played it."

Well, I should have expected this.

Kaguya Shinomiya is a proper young lady from a respectable family, and although Fujiwara is a bit dull, she is also very well-mannered. It is obvious that neither of the two girls has ever been exposed to arcade fighting games.

“You can have heard of it, but in short, it’s a fighting game played on arcade machines,” Natsuki Amamiya continued. “One-on-one fair duels, combat competition, that might meet the mission’s requirements.”

"You'll only know if it will work after you try."

“There’s an arcade on my way to school. I suggest we go check it out now,” Natsuki Amamiya said directly. “If the mission requirements aren’t met, we’ll think of another way.”

"Sounds pretty good." Fujiwara Chika quickly gave her approval. "Let's skip class, Kaguya-chan!"

“No need to skip class,” Natsuki Amamiya complained. “There’s still some time before class starts. If we walk quickly, we won’t be late.”

Kaguya Shinomiya pondered for two seconds, then nodded slightly and said:

"Let's go to the game center."

Chapter 34 Punching Nanshan Kindergarten

Just leave.

The three of them left the classroom together and walked towards the school gate.

The students they encountered along the way were all going into the school, but Amamiya Natsuki and her two companions were going out of the school against the flow of traffic, which inevitably attracted the curious glances of many people.

"Huh, it feels like skipping class, that's kind of exciting."

Fujiwara Chika looked around, her steps light and her eyes bright, like a fawn about to leave the zoo for the forest.

What kind of stimulation is this?

If you don't wear panties to school tomorrow, that'll be the real thrill!

"Kaguya-chan, have you ever skipped class?" Fujiwara Chika asked her friend.

"No."

Kaguya Shinomiya had calmed down, her hands clasped together on her lower abdomen, her walking posture quite elegant.

Princess Kaguya of Ice naturally unleashed her full aura, causing everyone to retreat in her wake, with no one daring to approach.

"Hey, I've heard that a school life without skipping classes is an incomplete life."

Kaguya Shinomiya asked in a cool tone, "Fujiwara-kun skipped class?"

"Hmph." Fujiwara Chika put her hands on her hips and raised her chin triumphantly upon hearing this. "I skipped a PE class last summer. The PE teacher made us run on the playground. It was so hot that I only ran one lap before hiding in a corner."

Kaguya Shinomiya glanced at her friend beside her, a smile of affection for small animals appearing on her face:

"Fujiwara-san is so cute~"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded in agreement, then silently distanced herself from the two girls.

Scientific research shows that stupidity is contagious.

Spending too much time with idiots won't turn them into smart people; instead, they're more likely to be assimilated into idiots themselves.

"Natsuki-kun, what are you doing so far away from us?"

Fujiwara Chika quickly noticed Amamiya Natsuki secretly keeping her distance and hurriedly asked.

"Because Fujiwara-san is so popular."

"Eh?"

Amamiya Natsuki said in a low voice, "If you walk with Fujiwara-san, you'll be photographed immediately and end up on the front page of the tabloids. After school, you might be cornered in an alley by a boy who has a crush on Fujiwara-san and end up with a broken bone in the hospital. So you have to keep your distance."

"That's outrageous!"

"..."

The three of them quickly left the school.

ten minutes later.

Amamiya Natsuki led two girls to an arcade and stopped, saying:

"This is it."

Japan is the birthplace of arcade games.

In the 1980s and 1990s, arcade games became a global phenomenon, originating in Japan. Unfortunately, with the advancement of technology, the glory days of arcade games have quickly faded, and now they are on their last legs and about to be swept into the history museum.

However, the arcade game industry in Japan has not died out. Although it is also declining, it still has a large number of players.

"The game center is on the second floor."

Amamiya Natsuki pointed to the stairwell next to her and led Fujiwara and Kaguya up the stairs.

Upon reaching the second floor and turning the corner, you are greeted by a wall covered with various game posters, a dazzling array of games available. There are also numerous claw machines and gashapon machines on both sides.

"It's surprisingly clean." Fujiwara Chika observed the surroundings curiously. "I thought there would be a lot of people. The room was dark and gloomy, like a scary little dark room."

That's a stereotype. The gaming industry is a service industry, and the basic requirement is cleanliness and hygiene. No one would come to play in a dirty, messy, dark room.

Because it was so early, there were very few players in the game center, and it was quite quiet.

Passing by a game area, Fujiwara Chika's eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at a girl wearing a helmet and holding a sensor. On the large screen in front of the girl was a game depicting an underwater treasure hunt. Curious, she asked:

"Hey, what game is that?"

"It's a VR game experience area." Natsuki Amamiya looked over. "The equipment in the game center is much better than home VR, and the experience is quite good."

"I want to play."

Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands in front of her chest, her eyes sparkling.

"We'll talk about it when we have time." Natsuki Amamiya led the two girls to an arcade machine and started it up. "There are a lot of different kinds of games here: adventure, racing, card games, music, Taiko no Tatsujin, etc... Our target is fighting games."

The machine started successfully, and the classic scene from Street Fighter IV appeared.

"To be on the safe side, it's best if both of you choose the same character." Natsuki Amamiya explained the basic button functions and operations again, then stood up and made room for you. "Give it a try."

Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara sat down on either side of her.

"You can insert coins now," Natsuki Amamiya reminded him.

"What to vote for?"

"There's a coin slot next to your legs. Put a 100 yen coin in."
