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

I was young then and didn't think much of it, but now that I think about it, I realize that this fairy tale is terrifying when you think about it. It's clearly a horror fairy tale!

The red dancing shoes that you can't take off once you put them on, and that you'll dance in until you die, are clearly a terrible curse.

Da da da!

The woman in red shoes clearly spotted the three people downstairs. Her footsteps suddenly quickened, as if she were being carried by an invisible person, and she ran quickly downstairs, heading straight for Senior Sister Yanzi.

Amamiya Natsuki frowned slightly and kicked at the red dancing shoe, but only managed to kick one away. The other shoe, with hurried steps, had already reached her senior.

Zian Yan held her breath nervously and quickly retreated, but unfortunately, the difference in speed was too great, and she was caught up by the red dancing shoes in the blink of an eye.

The shoes leaped off the ground, as if enveloping the senior's right foot like some kind of liquid, before transforming back into red dance shoes.

The other dancing shoe wasn't idle either; it quickly bypassed Amamiya Natsuki and appeared on the upperclassman's foot.

then……

Da da da.

Senior Sister Yanzi suddenly started dancing, and said nervously:

"My body is out of control!"

Natsuki Amamiya stood to the side, watching the graceful girl dance. "As expected of the president of the gymnastics club, her dancing is quite perfect."

Senior Sister Yanzi bit her lower lip, dancing as she spoke:

"I studied dance for many years."

"No wonder it looks amazing."

"This is not the time to talk about those things, Natsuki-kun, hurry up and help!"

"..."

The senior student was tap dancing. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Amamiya Natsuki grabbed the senior student's right ankle and tried to use brute force to take off the red dance shoe.

"Be gentle, be gentle..."

Zian Yan frowned and cried out in pain in a low voice.

"I've already been very restrained with my strength." As soon as Amamiya Natsuki let go, her senior immediately started dancing again, her steps lively. "The shoes won't come off; it's like they're stuck to my feet."

Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Yanzi's heart sank.

If the red dancing shoes can't be taken off, are we supposed to cut off the feet like in fairy tales?

Can't do it.

It's absolutely impossible.

Even if we get rid of the red dancing shoes for now, how will we face the next dungeon?

"Senior, there are two ways now." Looking at her senior dancing dejectedly, Amamiya Natsuki held up two fingers.

Zi'an Yan's eyes lit up as she danced and looked over: "What's the first solution?"

“There’s always an antidote for a venomous snake within seven steps, and the same should be true for Red Shoes.” Amamiya Natsuki said seriously, “The first method is for me to search the room, and you continue dancing while I find the root of the rules of Red Shoes. The downside is that it’s time-consuming and laborious.”

Zian Yan hesitated and said:

"What's the other solution?"

"Then let's keep it simple and straightforward," said Natsuki Amamiya. "Senpai knows about the Polymorph spell, right?"

Having the ability to copy and paste, Natsuki Amamiya naturally pasted the Polymorph spell over before entering the dungeon.

"of course I know."

Sheep Transformation is one of Chika's skills, obtained after completing the fun missions in the amusement park. Unfortunately, it can only be used on friendly units, and the duration is very short.

Zian Yan had naturally heard of this skill, and upon careful consideration, it seemed that it could indeed be done.

You can't wear a pair of red dancing shoes on all four feet, can you?

Thinking of this, Zi'an Yan took a deep breath and, while dancing, said:

"Natsuki-kun, I'm begging you."

"Have you decided?"

"Ah."

"Alright." Amamiya Natsuki walked to her senior's side, extended her right hand, and touched her body. "Silently tell yourself to accept and not resist."

"..."

As Zian Yan silently made her promise, the skill was quickly and successfully released. Senior Sister Yan felt her vision rapidly lower, and finally she turned into a snow-white little lamb.

"Eh eh eh?!"

Little Red Riding Hood was shocked. "The knight has turned into a little lamb!"

“I saw it,” Natsuki Amamiya said from the side. “It was a pretty little ewe.”

at the same time.

The red dancing shoes seemed to freeze, abruptly stopping and ceasing to dance, clearly unable to comprehend how the human from before could suddenly transform into a four-legged beast.

Amamiya Natsuki bent down and picked up the little lamb.

"Senior, let's see if you can take your shoes off."

"Mea~"

A soft, gentle voice came from the little sheep-like senior.

Natsuki Amamiya looked at her senior's limbs. The red ballet shoes were still on her two hind legs. This time, with a gentle pull, the red ballet shoes were successfully removed.

Clearly, according to the rules of the Red Shoes, for it to dance, it must first be a person.

The two red dancing shoes were quickly taken off.

During this time, Natsuki Amamiya also received item appraisals from the game.

[Item: Red Dancing Shoes]

[Type: Rule Item]

[Attribute: Wearing the red dancing shoes will force you to dance until you are exhausted]

[Note: This item can be taken out of the current instance after certain conditions are met.]

Da da da.

After leaving Little Sheep's feet, the red dancing shoes "came back to life," kicking and tapping on the ground before quickly turning and running towards Little Red Riding Hood.

Damn it, they actually went after such a young child, instead of coming at me! This is discrimination, blatant sexism!

Little Red Riding Hood was startled and quickly hid behind her.

The sheep transformation spell has already been used. If the little girl puts on the red dancing shoes again, it will be troublesome to remove them.

Without hesitation, Amamiya Natsuki grabbed the red dancing shoes and put them back on the feet of her senior who had turned into a sheep... or more accurately, on the hooves of a sheep.

So the red dancing shoes, which had just come back to life, were once again caught in an unsolvable problem and eventually remained motionless.

Chapter 368 The Senior Girl Who Died in the Club, Today

"The red dancing shoes from the fairy tale?"

Mrs. Kaguya looked over curiously and said, "It looks very pretty."

As a ghost, one feels neither pain nor fatigue, and is therefore unafraid to wear red dancing shoes.

Da da da.

The red dancing shoes moved lightly to Mrs. Kaguya's feet and then slipped them onto her feet.

And then... nothing happened.

"What?"

Senior Sister Yanzi, who had transformed into a lamb, looked over in confusion. Since she was a sheep, she could only make sheep-like sounds.

Natsuki Amamiya looked at Mrs. Kaguya with curiosity.

Why didn't the Red Shoes make me dance?

Mrs. Kaguya's eyes looked innocent.

As soon as she finished speaking, the red dancing shoes on Mrs. Kaguya's feet suddenly fell off by themselves.

Amamiya Natsuki pondered, "Perhaps because you're a ghost?"

"It's a guardian spirit!"

Mrs. Kaguya raised her voice to correct, "A pair of dancing shoes from a cricket, and it dares to discriminate against me! How infuriating!"

Well, it seems we can't count on Kaguya-sama.

Amamiya Natsuki squinted at the red dancing shoes that had come to life on the ground, and a prompt slowly appeared before her eyes.

[After careful observation, you discovered the weakness of the red dancing shoes—it's normal that they can't dance without their owner, right?]

"Can't you jump?"

Natsuki Amamiya looked at the little girl beside her and picked up Little Red Riding Hood in one swift motion.

The red dancing shoes came to the two of them, circling around Amamiya Natsuki's body, their clattering footsteps annoying.

"It's fine once you pick it up... So, these red dancing shoes can't leave the ground?"

Mrs. Kaguya quickly discerned the underlying principle: "It doesn't seem too dangerous."

“That’s not the case.” Natsuki Amamiya shook her head, picked up the little girl, and walked to the side, her red dancing shoes following closely behind, clattering along. “Clearly, these dancing shoes won’t give up until they achieve their goal.”

He can carry the senior student and the guide girl for a short time, but it's impossible for him to carry them for the entire dungeon; that's unrealistic.

"How about burning it?"

Mrs. Kaguya held up one finger, offering her opinion.

“We can give it a try.” Natsuki Amamiya nodded.

Unfortunately, the result was predictable: the flames landed on the red dancing shoes and were quickly extinguished by some unknown force.
