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

"High school students are basically mature both physically and mentally, but they have not yet been beaten down by society. They retain a strong sense of curiosity and drive, making it the most beautiful age for girls, bar none."

"I saw online that even stockings worn by high school girls are being bought at high prices..."

Hey, don't use your phone to peek at random things, or I'll activate parental controls!

“Three years, high school is only three short years.” Mrs. Kaguya held up three fingers. “If you don’t even have a single date that makes your heart flutter, you’ll definitely have regrets for the rest of your life.”

“For example, I regret it now.” Mrs. Kaguya sighed softly, and said in a ghostly tone, “In high school, I only cared about getting first place in the grade. I can never experience those sweet and sour dates again.”

"..."

While talking.

The three of them had already reached the school gate.

The black sedan was parked in the corner as always. The driver, an elderly man with gray hair, stood by the car door. When he saw Amamiya Natsuki and the others come out, he bowed slightly and opened the car door. His entire action was meticulous and flawless. He truly deserves to be called a veteran driver.

"Fujiwara-san, would you like me to take you home?"

Shinomiya Kaguya asked.

"No need." Fujiwara Chika shook her head, took a breath of the fresh air after the rain, and said, "The rain has finally stopped, and it's rare for it not to rain. I want to walk for a while."

"Ah."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly and turned to look at Natsuki Amamiya.

"I'll go back by myself," said Natsuki Amamiya. "See you tomorrow."

"……See you tomorrow."

The car quickly drove away.

"What Sister Aya said just now makes a lot of sense," Fujiwara Chika said as she walked. "It's making me want to go on a date with her."

Natsuki Amamiya raised her right hand, eager to volunteer without hesitation:

"I can help you experience what dating feels like."

Fujiwara Chika blushed slightly and quickly shook her head: "You can't!"

"why?"

"No reason, no means no."

"Alright then," Natsuki Amamiya changed the subject. "A new ramen shop recently opened, and I heard it's incredibly good. Want to go try it?"

Fujiwara Chika's eyes immediately brightened:

"Want to eat!"

"Let's go get some ramen."

The two walked forward together, bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

"Hey, wait..."

Fujiwara Chika quickly realized what was happening.

I didn't think much of it before, but now that it's just the two of us eating ramen together, what's the difference between this and a date?

“You’ve changed your mind,” Natsuki Amamiya said quietly.

"When did I change my mind?"

Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but puff out her pink cheeks.

Amamiya Natsuki said matter-of-factly:

"A newly opened ramen shop is waiting for you to try it out, and you still have the mind to care about other things?"

Fujiwara Chika clenched her fist, her gaze hardening: "...That makes sense. When checking out the new ramen shop, you shouldn't be distracted at all."

After finishing their ramen, the two went home separately.

Because of the unexpected events last night, Jianzi didn't sneak over last night; only the spy maid was around. There's no need to say more.

Silent all night.

the next day.

After getting up, Natsuki Amamiya went to school as usual. Today marked her first official day as student council president.

Kaguya Shinomiya, Chika Fujiwara, Kashiwagi, and Yurikawa all arrived early and gathered in the student council office to begin the first day of the student council meeting.

And then... nothing happened.

"How boring." Fujiwara Chika lay sprawled on the sofa. "Let's do something."

Amamiya Natsuki looked over and said, "Don't jinx it."

"I'm not a jinx."

Fujiwara Chika retorted.

boom.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Zi'an Yan hurriedly pushed open the door and came in, glanced around, bit her pink lips and said:

"Kashiwagi, could you please step out for a moment?"

"Okay."

Kashiwa blinked, understandingly agreed, and got up to leave the office.

Seeing this, Natsuki Amamiya narrowed her eyes, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

"Senior Yanzi, what's wrong?"

Fujiwara Chika, however, was completely unaware.

“I…” Zi An Yan pressed her hand to her chest, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then whispered, “I just received a game notification that I’m being forced into a new instance.”

"..."

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya and Kaguya both silently looked at the Secretary.

And you said you weren't a jinx, that you could get whatever you wanted, and that your flag-planting skills were comparable to those of an old general on stage!

★ Bedtime Fairy Tales ★

Chapter 358 Bedtime Fairy Tales

"A copy?"

Amamiya Natsuki said calmly, "Have a cup of tea first, senior, and then we can talk slowly."

"Ah."

Senior Yanzi's pretty face turned slightly pale, clearly indicating that she was very nervous.

Kaguya Shinomiya calmly said:

"Go sit on the sofa and talk."

The three of them walked over to the sofa and sat down.

Kaguya Shinomiya poured a cup of tea for Tsubame Koyasu, then sat down next to Natsuki Amamiya, and together they looked at Tsubame-senpai across from them.

"call……"

Zi'an Yan held the teacup with both hands, took a sip, then gently exhaled, and lightly bit her pink lips, saying:

"I was training with everyone at the gymnastics club when I suddenly received a game notification asking me to participate in a mandatory dungeon."

To date, game instances are generally of two types: triggered instances and forced instances.

If you frequently challenge and trigger dungeons, you will not receive notifications for forced dungeons.

In short, it's like a negative feedback notification in a game, spurring others on from behind.

Once a player receives a forced dungeon notification, regardless of their location or whether they agree or not, they will be forcibly pulled into the dungeon when the time comes.

Forced dungeons will appear periodically, with no fixed time, but according to statistics and summaries in the mutual aid group, it will take about a month.

Most players are reluctant to play game instances, and Zian Yan is no exception.

Evil spirits in the real world may be ugly, but as long as you pretend you can't see them, there's no danger. The kobold tactic can really save your life.

But dungeons are different. Each dungeon has its own mission requirements, just like completing a game. You have to take the initiative and deal with all sorts of vengeful monsters.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Senior, can you show us the dungeon notification?"

"it is good."

Zian Yan nodded hurriedly, awkwardly opened the game panel, and selected public.

You have received a copy notification. Please click to view.

[Mandatory Instance: Bedtime Fairy Tale]

[Type: Multiplayer]

[Difficulty: Unknown]

You will enter this instance at midnight. Please prepare accordingly.

[Note: Children who stay up late will be punished.]

"A bedtime fairy tale?"

Looking at the name of the instance, Kaguya Shinomiya gently pursed her pink lips and analyzed, "Judging from the name, it should be related to a fairy tale."

"The specific task requirements can only be viewed after entering the game." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Koyasu Tsubaki, her voice steady. "Senior is just a new player. According to the statistical patterns in the mutual aid group, the first one or two tasks for new players are not too dangerous."

After a pause, Natsuki Amamiya took out her phone and said:

"This instance is a multiplayer instance. Let's check if there are any other players in the mutual aid group who want to join."

As they were talking, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Fujiwara Chika rushed in. Just moments before, Amamiya Natsuki had sent Chika a message.
