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

The period of bad luck lasts for half an hour.

During this time, the two studied together. However, Natsuki Amamiya was safe and sound, while Kaguya Shinomiya, despite being very careful, still had unfortunate incidents such as her pencil tip breaking and the pages of her book being accidentally torn.

The afternoon sun was quite gentle.

The only sound was the soft scratching of the pen tip across the paper.

"call……"

Kaguya Shinomiya pressed her temples and let out a soft breath: "Natsuki-kun, half an hour has passed, hasn't it?"

“Just now.” Natsuki Amamiya glanced at her phone. “I can get home now without any problem.”

As the number of times the tails were thrown increased, people gradually figured out the pattern—

Avoid crowded and chaotic places.

As the saying goes, even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice. As long as you hide in a safe place with low risk of danger, any bad things that happen will be within an acceptable range.

Hey.

The phone suddenly vibrated.

Hearing the noise, Natsuki Amamiya picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Moeha Fujiwara.

"Senior, are you still at school?"

"exist."

"Um, I haven't given you the thank-you gift yet... If you're free now, senior, shall I come over to find you?"

After a moment's thought, Amamiya Natsuki agreed: "Let's go to the pavilion at noon."

"Yeah, see you there!"

"..."

After putting away his phone, Natsuki Amamiya said goodbye to Kaguya and got up to leave the activity room.

When I arrived at the lunch break spot, I saw a little girl with short twin ponytails waiting in the pavilion.

"Good afternoon, Senior."

Fujiwara Moeha's eyes lit up, and she took small steps forward, took out an envelope, and handed it to Amamiya Natsuki.

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

and many more.

Where is the gift you promised?

How could it be an envelope?

You didn't take the wrong one, did you?

"What's inside..."

Amamiya Natsuki hesitated before taking the envelope, squeezing it with her right hand. She felt a hard, solid texture inside; it seemed to be a card.

Hey, could it be a bank card?

Even sending you a pair of panties would be better than sending you a bank card!

"When I asked my friend the night before last, she said that boys like to collect cards..." Fujiwara Moeha held up two fingers and tapped them lightly on her chest, her face slightly flushed. She looked up expectantly and asked, "Senior, take a look and see if you like it."

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya raised an eyebrow slightly, opened the envelope, and poured out its contents, which turned out to be two rare Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Amamiya Natsuki smiled.

Fujiwara Moeha breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly: "I'm glad you like it, senpai."

"..."

at the same time.

not far away.

"Hey, look, Chika-chan, it's Natsuki-kun."

Several members of the game club, who were wandering around the campus while holding a giant die, suddenly spotted the two people in the pavilion.

A young girl pushed up her glasses and exclaimed:

"That middle school girl looks so familiar... Hey, Chika-chan, she looks like your sister!"

Fujiwara Chika: “…”

If you remove the "seems like" part, then it's my sister.

Another girl from the gaming club shouted excitedly:

"He actually pulled out an envelope, is it a confession? It must be!"

"It's not a love letter at all!" Fujiwara Chika quickly retorted. "On Saturday night, Moeha ran into some trouble while walking her dog, and Natsuki happened to be passing by and helped her. It was just a thank-you gift!"

“But…” a girl slowly objected, “no one would use an envelope as a thank-you gift, would they?”

Fujiwara Chika: “…”

"Ah, I understand." The other girl's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "A drop of kindness can never be repaid, so I can only repay it with my body!"

Fujiwara Chika: “…”

Not good, not good, not good!

Moeha only said she wanted to thank Natsuki with a gift, but didn't say what the gift was. What could that thin envelope possibly contain?

Could it be that she really is offering her body as a thank-you gift?

"Oh, look! Natsuki has taken the envelope!"

"Moeha-chan is smiling so happily... Did she successfully confess her feelings?"

"Natsuki-kun actually accepted a middle school student's confession. I didn't realize she was such a lolicon."

"..."

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Fujiwara Chika bit her lower lip and shook her head vigorously.

He had promised himself just two days ago that he would never bully Mengye, so how could he possibly accept Mengye's confession?

"It must be a misunderstanding!"

Fujiwara Chika puffed out her cheeks and said, "Based on my years of experience as a love detective, there is absolutely no romantic atmosphere between the two of them."

Seeing Amamiya Natsuki turn and leave, her younger sister cupped her cheeks in her hands, giggling happily in the pavilion. Fujiwara Chika took a deep breath and tossed aside the dice prop in her hand.

"You guys go back first, I'll go ask what's going on."

"..."

"Sprout Leaf".

Fujiwara Chika quickly walked into the pavilion.

"Eh, big sister?" Fujiwara Moeha looked up in surprise. "What brings you here?"

"I was just passing by over there with a friend." Fujiwara Chika pointed behind her and said in a casual tone, "Were you just giving Natsuki the thank-you gift from that day?"

"Yes."

Fujiwara Moeha nodded.

"What's the gift?" Fujiwara Chika asked softly, her hands behind her back. "I think I just saw an envelope."

"A gift, huh..."

Fujiwara Moeha blinked, a sly smile suddenly appearing on her face. "You seem to care a lot, big sister?"

"I didn't!" Fujiwara Chika coughed twice and turned her pretty face away. "I was just worried that you were being scammed."

“Hmm…” Fujiwara Moeha rested her chin on her right hand, a thoughtful expression on her face, and suddenly said, “If it’s you, senpai, I’d be willing to be fooled.”

"Wait, wait, wait—"

Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but exclaim, "You're only a middle school student! Isn't that too early for you?"

"I'm already a third-year junior high student, and I'll be a high school student next year," Fujiwara Moeha said with dissatisfaction. "Does my older sister know how many people in our class have boyfriends?"

"A full twenty people!"

"People like me who are about to graduate from junior high school and have no dating experience are already outdated."

“Ah…” Fujiwara Chika’s smile froze, and she said softly, “I feel like I’ve been abandoned by the times.”

"That's always how it is." Fujiwara Moeha put her right hand on her hip. "It's embarrassing to be so old and still not have a boyfriend, okay?"

Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but shout:

Even so, only Natsuki-kun is not allowed!

"Hey, why?"

"Dating is such an important thing, it should be considered carefully..." Fujiwara Chika stammered, "A boy should at least have some attractive qualities!"

“Natsuki-senpai clearly has many good qualities,” Fujiwara Moeha asserted, holding up one finger. “For example, his academic performance is superb. He even surpassed Shinomiya-senpai in the last exam, right?”

Fujiwara Chika said:

"That was just a coincidence. Surpassing once doesn't mean you can surpass it every time."

Fujiwara Moeha retorted:

"Then why has my older sister never surpassed Shinomiya-senpai?"

Fujiwara Chika: “…”

I'm really sorry for how badly I've done in my studies.

"Also, senior is very handsome." Fujiwara Moeha clasped her hands in front of her chest, her face flushed. "Especially when he smiles, he's super handsome, just like a Johnny's idol."

Fujiwara Chika held up one finger and advised:
