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

A quick glance suggests that Natsuki Amamiya is even shorter than Little Red Riding Hood.

More importantly, mushrooms were growing on the heads of all these little people.

Hey, there are so many! Is this some kind of mushroom nest?

Amamiya Natsuki remained calm and patient, continuing to wait and gather information from the cabin.

After a while.

A girl carrying a dish appeared in his field of vision. She had golden hair, bright blue eyes, and that familiar profile. Who else could it be but Hayasaka Ai?

In real life, you're a maid, and now you're still a maid in the dungeon. It seems being a maid is your true nature after all!

Chapter 371 Don't be afraid, I really am healing and saving lives.

dong dong dong.

Natsuki Amamiya waited quietly, and as Ai Hayasaka passed by the window, she gently tapped on the glass.

Hearing the noise, Hayasaka Ai turned around and looked outside. When she saw Amamiya Natsuki, she paused slightly, and a flash of surprise crossed her pretty face.

"senior?"

Hayasaka Ai's lips twitched slightly, and she called out silently.

Natsuki Amamiya took out her notebook, braving the cold, and wrote in it:

"Can we just come out?"

Hayasaka Ai shook her head slightly, indicating that she could not.

"It seems that their personal freedom has been restricted."

Amamiya Natsuki's expression remained unchanged as she wrote:

"Could we lure out one of the dwarves by ourselves?"

Hayasaka Ai blinked, then nodded quietly.

"Wait a moment," Natsuki Amamiya wrote, picking up her pen. "Wait for my signal."

There are seven dwarfs in total, each with mushrooms growing on their heads. Their abilities are unknown. To rush in is not confidence, but foolishness.

Plan before you act; make thorough preparations beforehand to ensure you remain invincible.

After delivering the message to the spy maid, Natsuki Amamiya quietly turned back and returned to the entrance of the valley.

Fujiwara Chika, her senior, and a little girl who was leading the way were huddled together, warming themselves with each other's body heat.

Seeing Amamiya Natsuki return, Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up, and she whispered:

"Natsuki-kun, how's the situation? Have you found Hanamori-chan?"

“I saw it.” Natsuki Amamiya nodded and recounted what had just happened. “There were seven dwarfs in total, all with mushrooms on their heads. They are now mushroom dwarfs. Hana is trapped inside the wooden house and cannot come out. Her freedom is restricted by those dwarfs, and she is currently working as a maid, serving food.”

Senior Sister Yanzi held Little Red Riding Hood in her arms and said upon hearing this:

"Since their personal freedom has been restricted, those dwarfs are definitely different from the dwarfs in fairy tales. If we rashly barge in, we may encounter danger."

“That’s right.” Natsuki Amamiya nodded in agreement. “So we need to lure the dwarves out one by one and pick the mushrooms one by one.”

"How should we lie?"

Fujiwara Chika rested her chin on her right hand, deep in thought.

"Leave the task of luring the dwarves out to Hanamori." Amamiya Natsuki stretched out her hands. "First, paste the skills for fighting organized crime to my senior."

To restore the evil dwarves to their kind nature, you need to remove the mushrooms from their heads.

Amamiya Natsuki was naturally the attending physician, while Fujiwara Chika and her senior could only serve as nurses.

Fujiwara Chika naturally reached out her hand. Having copied and pasted so many times, it had become second nature to her. The senior, having experienced this less often, blushed slightly, but fortunately, she wasn't as shy and reserved as Komi, and quickly extended her hand.

Amamiya Natsuki has her senior in her left hand and Chika in her right.

Different girls, same touch.

"It's so cold," Natsuki Amamiya complained, squinting. "Why are your hands as cold as ice cubes?"

"It's normal for your hands to be cold after walking in the snow for so long," Fujiwara Chika said, shaking her hands in return. "You're so hot, you can help warm my hands."

Senior Yanzi nodded subconsciously.

I must say, the feeling of warming your hands is quite comfortable.

The three stood in the corner, pasting skills while whispering about their next action plan, checking for omissions and finalizing details.

With the plan finalized, Natsuki Amamiya's attention returned to the two girls. After warming their hands for a few minutes, the temperature of their hands had returned to normal, and they felt delicate and smooth to the touch, which was exceptionally comfortable.

An impulse surged into my heart.

Natsuki Amamiya couldn't help but secretly squeeze the Secretary's palm.

"Don't move."

Fujiwara Chika turned around and scolded her.

"what happened?"

Zian Yan asked curiously.

"It's nothing." Of course, Fujiwara Chika wouldn't tell what happened. Seeing Amamiya Natsuki still bullying people, she rolled her eyes at him and turned to say, "Don't be nervous, Senpai. Just hold down the little dwarf."

"I know……"

Senior Yanzi nodded, then suddenly felt her palm being gently squeezed. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Amamiya Natsuki.

Amamiya Natsuki looked back calmly: "That's right, it's me."

"..."

A blush spread across her cheeks, and Zi'an Yan secretly bit her lip, unable to help but mentally complain:

"It's one thing to bully people, but at least show some remorse!"

"I've never done anything like this before when we held hands... Could it be the influence of that mushroom?"

Ziyan pursed her pink lips and looked up at the top of Amamiya Natsuki's head.

Unfortunately, the light was too dim to see clearly whether the mushrooms had grown larger.

Speaking of which, Little Red Riding Hood just said that when the mushroom first grows, it's nothing, but as the mushroom grows, its influence on one's character becomes stronger and stronger, eventually turning one into an evil mushroom person.

Thankfully, the mushroom was picked; otherwise, I'd definitely have lost my innocence!

"Hey, wait a minute."

Koyasu Yan suddenly realized something and turned to look at Fujiwara Chika, "Chika, were you also being bullied when you said that?"

"It must be."

"He was bullying himself, and he was even bullying Chika! That's too much!"

"..."

After a while.

"That's enough." Amamiya Natsuki reluctantly let go of her hand. "Proceed according to plan."

The three of them quickly got to work.

After sneaking back to the cabin, Amamiya Natsuki looked through the window and quickly spotted the spy maid.

Eyes facing each other.

Natsuki Amamiya took out her notebook: "We can get started now."

Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly and walked towards a dwarf. It was unclear what she said, but the dwarf, who had a full beard, staggered out.

Pushing open the door and stepping outside, the dwarf suddenly sniffed the air and smelled a strange fragrance. He looked around and soon found a half-open bag of bread on the ground. Its golden color instantly caught the dwarf's attention.

The little man walked up to the bread, bent down to pick it up, looked at it curiously for a moment, and then cautiously took a small bite.

As the cream and pork floss exploded on his tongue, the little dwarf's eyes widened instantly, and like Pigsy eating a ginseng fruit, he quickly devoured the bread.

"what……"

A panicked whisper rang out.

The dwarf looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl wearing a red hat, turning around and running away in a panic, clearly still holding half a bag of bread in her hand.

Upon seeing the bread, the little man became excited, exhaling two thick breaths from his nostrils, and took off chasing after it.

The two chased and fled, quickly getting away from the wooden house.

At this moment, Fujiwara Chika stepped forward and pointed, saying:

"Zhang San, the outlaw, it's you!"

"Zhang San?"

While the dwarf was still wondering, a swallow-like senior student suddenly emerged from behind a large tree beside him and quickly grabbed his shoulder:

"You're under arrest."

The campaign against organized crime has been successfully activated; the order to surrender has been triggered.

The little dwarf froze on the spot, only his eyes and mouth could move, and he said in a muffled voice:

"Humans, what have you done to me?"

"Don't be nervous, we are actually doctors who treat and save lives." Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward, smiled, took out a piece of cloth, skillfully stuffed it into the dwarf's mouth, and then, under the dwarf's terrified gaze, took out a kitchen knife. "Next is the time for surgery."

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya reached out and touched the mushroom on the dwarf's head, and the game quickly provided an identification message.

[Item: Greed Mushroom]

Status: Mature

[Description: People who possess this mushroom will have their greedy nature amplified to an extreme degree.]

[Note: You need special methods to pick this mushroom; forcibly picking it will result in the target's death.]

As Amamiya Natsuki donned the Dark Chef Badge, the method for harvesting the Greedy Mushroom quickly came to mind.
