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

As the green light turned on, pedestrians surged into the intersection like a tidal wave.

"Natsuki, have you ever been to Shinjuku before?"

Kitagawa Kaimu turned his head and asked.

“No.” Natsuki Amamiya shook her head. “The last time I came was the last time.”

"Hmph, I knew it." Kitagawa Haimu raised her chin, a smug smile on her pretty face, and extended her fair and delicate hand. "Give me your hand, there are so many people, it would be troublesome if we got separated."

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

In situations like this, the guy should take the initiative, not the girl!

"Hurry up, hurry up," Kitagawa Kaimu urged, naturally taking Amamiya Natsuki's right hand. "Don't block the people behind us."

The two crossed the intersection and continued walking, soon arriving at Shinjuku Station.

"We'll be leaving in twenty minutes." Natsuki Amamiya picked up her pre-booked tickets and said to Haimeng, "We'll arrive in Osaka around 8 p.m. We'll allow an hour and a half to get off, rest, have dinner, and then transfer to another train. We're not in a rush; we'll take the slower Shinkansen and sleep on the train. We'll arrive in Kagoshima around 5 a.m. tomorrow, just as it's starting to get light."

"It's going to be a whole night's journey." The two sat down on the chairs in the rest area. Kitagawa Kaimu turned to look at them, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. "Natsuki, thank you for your hard work."

Amamiya Natsuki said slowly and deliberately:

"We've just set off. If you're having a hard time, we'll talk about it when we get back."

"I made a decision!"

Kitagawa Kaimu suddenly raised his voice.

"what?"

"When I help with back massages at night, I will take full responsibility and massage your backs a lot more!"

"Please do not use force."

"..."

After a while.

The two boarded the train, found their seats, and their journey began.

As the Shinkansen slowly started moving, the scenery outside the window began to rush past.

Natsuki Amamiya looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, then looked away and started playing on her phone.

Scenery is nothing compared to the fun of using a mobile phone!

"Natsuki-san, have you all boarded the bus yet?"

Fujiwara Chika sent a message.

"Just got on the bus."

"I just finished my club activities and am about to go home," Fujiwara Chika sent a photo of a quiet school campus at sunset. "I really want to go to Kagoshima too. As its birthplace, the flowing somen noodles there must be delicious, right?"

When you travel, don't think about food first!

Natsuki Amamiya: "I'll bring you a bowl of flowing somen noodles."

Fujiwara Chika: "No, it's been on the road for so long, it'll have gone bad by the time we get back and we won't be able to eat it."

Amamiya Natsuki continued to send messages: "Speaking of which, there's something very important that I've been hesitating about telling you, but I've finally made up my mind. I should definitely tell you."

"W-what's the matter?"

school entrance.

Upon receiving the message, Fujiwara Chika suddenly stopped in her tracks, her heart involuntarily racing.

With such a serious tone and words like "hesitating for a long time before finally making up my mind," could it be that she wants to confess her feelings?

No way?

When Natsuki confesses her feelings later, should I accept or reject her?

As a normal girl, Fujiwara Chika naturally wanted to experience what it felt like to be in love.

Especially now that I've unfortunately become a player, and the future is unpredictable, I can better appreciate the urgency of time.

but……

Who would confess their love via text message?

Such important things should at least be said to his face!

Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"I think it's necessary to tell you this, otherwise you'll definitely be angry if you find out later."

"Wait a minute." Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but widen her eyes. "What do you mean by 'I found out'? What are you going to say?"

Natsuki Amamiya: "Moeha invited me to go to karaoke with her."

Fujiwara Chika: "...No! Absolutely no! You actually want to go on a date with Moeha behind my back!"

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"You just said you were hesitant!"

"..."

After exchanging messages with Chika, Amamiya Natsuki sent another message to Miko, but Miko was probably at work and the message remained unread.

Amamiya Natsuki then sent another message to Zhu Zhu.

"Hai Meng and I have already boarded the Shinkansen. Have you gotten home yet?"

"Humph."

Lord Zhu Zhu only replied with a single, concise word.

What does "humph" mean?

"You know it yourself."

"I don't know."

"Humph."

"If you hum again, I'll tell Hai Meng."

“Don’t, don’t say that!”

Zhu Zhu blushed and quickly replied to the message.

Besides her younger sister, she doesn't have many friends in real life. Hai Meng is now her very important best friend, and if Hai Meng finds out, their friendship might be completely destroyed.

"and many more--"

Lady Zhu suddenly realized what was happening and bit her lip in embarrassment.

It was clearly that guy who bullied me behind Hai Meng's back, not me who cheated on her, so why should I feel guilty!

After exchanging a few words with Master Zhu, Komi skipped over the conversation and didn't know what to say in her message.

Next up is the silly young lady.

"Kaguya-san, I've already boarded the Shinkansen with Kaimu."

Kaguya Shinomiya was practicing flower arranging when she saw the message. Her eyes widened with joy, but she immediately became unhappy again.

why?

Why did the first message I sent to myself today contain the names of other girls?

I've never experienced traveling with someone, and I really want to try it. Why am I stuck arranging flowers at home?

Kaguya Shinomiya picked up a flower and hesitated before plucking off a petal.

So, how should I reply to this message?

Would replying to a message immediately seem too urgent?

It's as if I've been sitting in front of my phone, waiting for him to send me a message.

No no no!

That kind of thing is so shameful!

After an unknown amount of time, Kaguya Shinomiya was about to continue plucking petals when she suddenly noticed that only bare paper strips remained in the vase, and the colorful petals on the table had piled up into a small mountain.

"Huh? Half an hour has already passed!"

"..."

"Natsuki, open your mouth."

Suddenly, a girl's clear and pleasant voice rang in her ears. Kitagawa Haimu held a seafood rice cake in her hand and offered it to Amamiya Natsuki, tilting her body to the side as she prepared to feed her.

Amamiya Natsuki opened her mouth.

Kitagawa Kaimu fed the seafood rice cake directly to Amamiya Natsuki's mouth, looking at her expectantly: "Natsuki, isn't it delicious?"

Click click click.

Natsuki Amamiya gave a positive review: "It's really delicious, very flavorful."

"Hmph, I knew you'd like it, because I love it too. Ever since I tasted it the first time, I've never forgotten it." Kitagawa Kaimu proudly raised her chin and picked up another seafood rice cake. "Here, have another one."

"..."

After finishing her snacks, the succubus girl was probably a little sleepy, and her little head started to nod off.

"If you're sleepy, take a nap." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Haimu and said softly, "It's still early before we get to Osaka."

"I was too excited last night and went to bed late, so I'm really sleepy now." Kitagawa Haimu rubbed her eyes, her voice slurred, and rested her head on Amamiya Natsuki's shoulder. "I'm going to sleep for a while."

"Okay, I'll call you when you get off the bus."

"..."

The girl's breathing quickly became even, and she fell peacefully asleep.

However, the air conditioning on the Shinkansen was quite cold, so it was obviously a bit chilly to sleep. Kitagawa Kaimu initially just leaned on Amamiya Natsuki's shoulder, but after a while, she instinctively hugged Amamiya Natsuki's arm, and eventually snuggled into Natsuki's arms.

Sure enough, girls never sleep peacefully.

Speechless all the way.
