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

Don't underestimate those who just lie low! They get trampled underfoot by girls every day, but the passive effect of enduring humiliation triggers, and they get stronger every day!

"You actually doubt me, senior?" Amamiya Natsuki's expression turned serious, and she extended her right hand, saying, "Come here."

"……do what?"

"To prove my physical strength to my senior."

"I don't want you to carry me," Zi'an Yan said irritably. "Since you say it's okay, then it's okay. It's getting dark, let's hurry up and leave?"

Amamiya Natsuki asked with a disappointed tone, "Senpai, you really don't need free transportation?"

“Absolutely not.” Zi Yan Yan crossed her arms in front of her chest. “I can walk by myself.”

"That's good." Amamiya Natsuki's expression changed, and she regained her composure. "It's good that you refused. I was just worried about how I would carry you with one hand. After all, you weigh over 100 pounds."

"I don't weigh over 100 pounds," Zi'an Yan said subconsciously. "I'm only 49 kilograms."

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the curve of her senior's chest. Even with two layers of clothing, the curve of her breasts was still undeniable.

With so much fat, her weight must be over 100 pounds.

Senior Yanzi puffed out her cheeks slightly: "Don't look at me!"

"..."

The two walked forward while talking.

With Little Red Riding Hood in their arms and no longer a burden, Natsuki Amamiya and Tsubame Koyasu's movement speed increased significantly.

After a long and arduous journey, we finally saw a wooden house in the distance.

"Hero, we've arrived at Grandma's house!" Little Red Riding Hood's eyes lit up as she pointed and said happily, "It's right under those three oak trees."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"Saw."

Under the tree stood a small wooden house, all alone in the wind and snow, looking rather desolate.

So, for an elderly person like you to live alone in the forest with inconvenient transportation and zero supporting public infrastructure, you're just asking for trouble.

"Natsuki-kun, would you like me to carry you?"

Zian Yan looked over.

Senior Sister Swallow was still worried that Natsuki Amamiya might not have enough energy, and asked her about it many times along the way.

This time, Natsuki Amamiya did not refuse. She handed the Little Red Riding Hood to her senior and rested for a while to regain her strength.

We don't know what's going on inside the cabin yet, so we need to be prepared and in the best possible condition to meet the challenge.

"Just keep walking."

After resting for a while, Amamiya Natsuki walked towards the wooden house.

Senior Sister Yanzi carried Little Red Riding Hood and followed behind. At first, it was fine, but after a few steps, she soon felt the little girl in her arms becoming heavy and walking was quite difficult.

(My arms are so tired.)

(Natsuki-kun actually carried Little Red Riding Hood for so long without his expression changing; he seems to have amazing stamina... Maybe he really could pick me up with one hand?)

Lost in thought, the three of them arrived outside the cabin.

Natsuki Amamiya observed the surroundings discreetly for a moment, then looked at her senior.

Zian Yan understood and put down the little red hat she was holding.

"Grandma, open the door! Open the door quickly!"

The little girl took her short legs and ran impatiently to the door, happily banging on it.

“Not only is he a traitor, but he’s also a door-caller,” Natsuki Amamiya murmured. “No wonder he’s portrayed as a big, smart guy in fairy tales.”

Senior Sister Yanzi looked over and whispered:

"She's just a child, it's normal that she doesn't understand right and wrong."

“Just now you were trying to turn us into puppets,” said Natsuki Amamiya. “Thank goodness it was me. If it were anyone else, she would have been calling me dad by now.”

"..."

As they spoke, a dull rustling sound arose, and the door slowly opened a crack.

Natsuki Amamiya stopped speaking and raised an eyebrow to look over.

The door was only opened halfway before stopping. The room was dimly lit, and all that could be seen behind the door was a wrinkled face, a hunched body, and a pointed hat on its head. It was impossible to tell whether mushrooms were growing on it.

"Grandma, I've come to see you. That's the hero and his companions..."

Little Red Riding Hood chattered on and on, explaining what had happened.

Grandma remained silently standing behind the door, not coming out. After listening to Little Red Riding Hood's words, she slowly nodded and said in a hoarse voice:

"Please come in, both of you."

Looking at the dark room, Senior Yanzi suddenly felt a little nervous. She grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's hand, leaned in, and whispered in her ear, warily saying:

"The light is so dim, I can't see clearly. Could it be the Big Bad Wolf?"

“It’s good to be vigilant,” Natsuki Amamiya said in a low voice. “However, theoretically speaking, there is no wolf in the world that can swallow a human whole.”

Zian Yan said:

"This is a fairy tale world."

“Even fairy tales have their basics,” Natsuki Amamiya said. “Look at Little Red Riding Hood, she almost got killed just now.”

"It's also..."

Senior Yanzi gripped Amamiya Natsuki's hand tightly, took a deep breath, and cautiously stepped into the cabin.

Once inside, I noticed a small oil lamp lit on a table in the corner. The flame was dim and barely visible, as if it could be extinguished with a breath.

The room was cramped and dark; although there was a fireplace, nothing was burning, and the air was cold.

Natsuki Amamiya calmly surveyed the surroundings, then looked at Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother.

The grandmother looked quite old, with a withered and thin body, a face full of wrinkles, and dressed in all black, giving her an inexplicably eerie appearance.

"Hello, thank you so much for saving Little Red Riding Hood." Grandma said as she carried a basket and walked over shakily. "There's some food left in the house. Please take it if you don't mind."

Natsuki Amamiya looked down and saw that the basket contained dried fruits such as pine nuts, not random random things.

"call……"

Senior Yanzi breathed a sigh of relief. She had been extremely worried that her grandmother might serve up a bunch of indescribable bloody food.

"Hero, and senior, please have something to eat."

Little Red Riding Hood happily handed over the food.

Zi'an Yan's lips twitched slightly. She reached out and took a pine nut, saying politely:

"Thank you."

The little girl was flattered and quickly shook her head, "I'll have to ask the hero to help my grandma pick the mushrooms later."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

Where is your grandmother?

Little Red Riding Hood replied, "Grandma went to cook."

"With such dim lighting, how can your grandmother see?"

"Oh right." The little girl blinked, suddenly realizing, "I'll go find Grandma."

at the same time.

Koyasu Tsubaki originally intended to put down the pine nuts in her hand. In a script full of dangers, she would certainly not eat unfamiliar food. However, for some reason, as time went by, Koyasu Tsubaki suddenly felt that the pine nuts in front of her were very tempting.

(I'm so hungry, my stomach is so empty... I've been walking for so long, my stomach is completely empty...)

(But I can't eat unfamiliar food.)

(But I'm so hungry. Eating just one pine nut should be enough.)

Senior Yanzi picked up a pine nut in a daze, preparing to put it in her mouth.

crucial moment.

A hand reached out and snatched the pine nut from the senior's mouth.

"Ah wu——"

Seeing her food being taken away, Senior Yanzi immediately got angry, opened her mouth and bit down, just in time to bite Amamiya Natsuki's finger.

"Senior, wake up," Amamiya Natsuki said in a deep voice. "Don't forget where you are."

Without the pine nut, Koyasu Tsubaki quickly regained her senses, hurriedly spitting out Amamiya Natsuki's finger, her pretty face flushed as she wiped her lips. "I'm so hungry. I don't know why, but I really wanted to eat that pine nut just now..."

As Yanzi spoke, her gaze kept falling on Amamiya Natsuki, and her face showed a struggling and conflicted expression. "Natsuki-kun, can I have a bite?"

Amamiya Natsuki asked, "Where would you like to eat, Senpai?"

"Anywhere is fine!"

Senior Sister Yanzi blurted out her name.

"You're willing to eat anywhere, you really aren't picky about food."

In just a short while, Amamiya Natsuki herself felt a strange hunger pang and her urge to eat surged rapidly.

There is no doubt that something is wrong with this situation.

“Natsuki-kun…”

Senior Yanzi couldn't help but stand up, bracing herself on the table with both hands, and leaning close to Amamiya Natsuki. Her face showed an extremely conflicted and struggling expression, and she breathed rapidly as she said:

"Natsuki-kun, can I take a bite?"

"Senior, calm down." Amamiya Natsuki reached out and pressed down on Yanzi's shoulder. "Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it later."

"I won't regret it."
