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

After talking for a while, the three of them quickly sat down at the table.

"Mathematics is so hard." Yurikawa Kaname slumped on the table, her voice weak and listless. "Especially trigonometric functions, my head feels like it's going to spin."

Jianzi agreed, saying, "I also think it's very difficult. I can barely understand what the teacher is saying in class, but when I do the exercises after class, I don't understand anything at all."

“That’s because you haven’t studied enough,” Natsuki Amamiya said. “Mathematics is actually the easiest subject to learn. Every problem is carefully designed by the question setter, and every piece of data is useful. There’s nothing ambiguous or unclear. Mathematics can actually make people happier.”

Seeing Zixu's empty eyes, he complained, "Sorry, I don't feel happy at all."

“Exactly, math only brings pain,” Yurikawa Hana chimed in. “How could it possibly bring happiness?”

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and looked at Yurikawa: "Come here, I'll show you what happiness feels like."

Seeing Zi's eyes widen, she couldn't help but glare at her: "What do you want to do to Hua-chan?!"

“There are many kinds of happiness.” Natsuki Amamiya interlaced her fingers and rested her chin on them. “Physical happiness is a lower form of happiness. A higher form of happiness is mental happiness, such as successfully solving an extremely difficult math problem through deep thought…”

"I'm sorry." Yurikawa Kaho quickly shook her head. "I choose physical pleasure."

"..."

Half an hour passed quietly.

Baihechuan Hua was planning to go home, but when she opened the door, she found that the rain outside had not stopped, but had instead poured down even harder.

"The rain is so heavy."

Baihe Chuanhua pursed her pink lips, her expression somewhat troubled.

Amamiya Natsuki glanced at Kaguya-sama beside her and said:

"Baihechuan, stay for dinner first, and go home after the rain stops."

The busty girl hesitated: "If I get home too late, my mom will worry."

“That’s easy. If you’re worried, you can stay overnight and sleep with Miko tonight,” said Amamiya Natsuki. “Anyway, you brought your schoolbag, so you can go to school together tomorrow morning.”

"Eh?"

Yuri Kawana's eyes lit up. "Really? Is it really possible?"

Seeing that her lips twitched slightly, and looking at her best friend's expectant gaze, she couldn't bear to say no: "No problem."

To be honest, I'd rather sleep with Natsuki Amamiya at night.

"Then I'll have to bother you. It's been so long since I slept with Miko." Yurikawa Kaori smiled brightly. "I'll call Mom right now!"

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Miko and said, "Go and call Kyosuke over to have dinner together."

"I've passed."

Seeing that Zi nodded, he opened his umbrella and left.

Natsuki Amamiya turned and went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

"I've finished talking to Mom." A moment later, the busty girl came running to the kitchen door, raised her right hand and said, "Natsuki-san, I'll help!"

Natsuki Amamiya casually said, "Wash the onion."

"give it to me."

Baihechuan Hua raised her head and agreed.

After a while.

“Natsuki-kun…”

A pitiful voice suddenly sounded in Amamiya Natsuki's ear.

Turning around, I saw Baihechuan Hua with tears in her eyes, sniffling as she said:

"I don't know why, but my eyes suddenly feel really uncomfortable..."

Natsuki Amamiya silently lowered her head, looking at the onion in the girl's hand: "Do you rarely go into the kitchen?"

"No, that's right." Yurikawa Hua nodded, her eyes brimming with tears. "Mom won't let me into the kitchen. She says I'm clumsy and always knock things over."

You're not clumsy, it's just that useless fat is getting in your way!

“You really can’t just wander into the kitchen.” Amamiya Natsuki sighed silently. “You go out first. Miko should be here soon. Ask Miko to help out later.”

"Oh……"

Baihe Chuanhua agreed, turned around and walked out, raising her right hand to wipe her eyes.

You're rubbing your eyes with your hands at a time like this? You've really never been in a kitchen before!

Snapped.

Amamiya Natsuki grabbed the girl's wrist and pressed her hand back.

at the same time.

The dull thud of an object falling to the ground drew their attention.

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and saw that Miko and the elementary school student had entered the living room at some point, and the ingredients in their hands had fallen to the ground.

What are you doing?!

Seeing Zi's wide eyes, he was completely taken aback.

A tearful, aggrieved best friend, and Amamiya Natsuki holding her friend's wrist in what looks like a wall-slamming pose... This is clearly a crime scene!

The elementary school student glanced at Jianzi and frowned, saying, "Xia Shu-ge, what are you doing? You're not cheating on your sister, are you?"

“That’s right.” Amamiya Natsuki released Yurikawa’s wrist. “I admit it, I cheated on him.”

"Miko-chan." Yurikawa Hana hadn't yet realized what "cheating" meant, so she ran up to Miko and said in a wronged voice, "My eyes hurt so much."

"Huh?" Jianzi was taken aback. "What happened to your eyes?"

"I don't know either." Yurikawa shook her head. "I was helping wash onions when my eyes suddenly started to hurt."

Jianzi: "..."

"Oh, it's just onions." The elementary school student breathed a sigh of relief. "Natsuki-nii, why did you admit to cheating?"

"I was rehearsing in advance."

"Eh?"

"It seems unlikely that he will be killed on the spot."

"..."

After dinner, the four of them continued reading and studying.

Before they knew it, it was nine o'clock in the evening. The elementary school student was already yawning. Seeing that there was nothing he could do, he could only get up and say goodbye, leaving with Yuri Kawaka.

Not long after I left, the doorbell rang again.

"Good evening, senior~ Did you miss me?"

This time it wasn't to see the girl, but the energetic junior who had secretly "slipped away" in the morning.

"Come in," Natsuki Amamiya said, turning around. "I've been thinking about you all day."

"Eh eh eh?"

Hayasaka Ai covered her chest, her eyes wary: "Your sweet talk is nice, but your expression is too frivolous. Frivolous, senpai."

"Give up, senior! I won't let a few sweet words from you fool me into letting you put me in all sorts of positions. No way! Absolutely no way!"

"You're overthinking it." Amamiya Natsuki said dismissively, taking out her phone and handing it to the energetic junior. "Remember what you said this morning?"

Hayasaka Ai blinked: "Senpai means..."

“That’s right, I just want you to help me send a message.” Amamiya Natsuki complained, “It’s such a shame that you’re disliked after all the effort it took to go out with Hayasaka-san. I think if it were you, you could definitely make Hayasaka change her mind.”

As Amamiya Natsuki spoke, she observed the spy maid's expression, but unfortunately, she couldn't find any flaws.

There's no doubt that Hayasaka doesn't want to interact with him at school, so he needs to hold on tight and not be the only one kept in the dark.

"Senior, you're such an idiot, an idiot, a complete idiot!"

Hayasaka Ai took a deep breath, clenched her fists, puffed out her cheeks, and pounded on Amamiya Natsuki's chest. "Knowing that I like you, senpai, you still made me go and seduce other girls for you. Is that something a human being would do?!"

Luckily, I was the one who wrote the guide; if it had been someone else, I would have been really angry!

What an idiot! Besides myself, what girl could stand being treated like this?

and many more.

Hayasaka Ai suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Is this man in front of me an idiot?

of course not.

So why should I have to conquer myself?

Could it be that something has been discovered?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Hayasaka Ai finally shook her head silently.

Impossible, absolutely impossible. Even the young lady didn't notice her disguise, so it's even less likely that Natsuki would realize the truth.

"This is something you promised yourself." Amamiya Natsuki grasped Hayasaka's small fist. "I'm counting on you."

"Humph!"

Hayasaka Ai turned her pretty face away, indicating that she was very unhappy. "Senpai, don't have too high expectations. Even I can't make people change their minds 100%. It depends on what outrageous things you did."

“No, not really.” Amamiya Natsuki sat down on the sofa and said, “If I had to say something, it would be that I was the one whose innocence was taken away.”

"...Shameless!"

Hayasaka Ai was so angry she almost kicked him.

That day under the table, you were the one whose innocence was stolen, yet you have the audacity to distort the facts.

"Please tell me the truth, senior," Hayasaka Ai said, puffing out her cheeks. "Otherwise, I might not be able to help you."

"It's okay if I can't help," Natsuki Amamiya waved her hand and said, "I still have my last trump card."

Hayasaka Ai's ears twitched, and her curiosity surged: "What's that?"
