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

"Senior, thank goodness you arrived in time, otherwise we would have been in danger." Hayasaka Ai clasped her hands to her chest, tilted her pretty face slightly, and her eyes sparkled. "Senior is amazing!"

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at him with disdain, completely unmoved.

pompous.

The expression is too exaggerated!

The genuine surprise on your face when we first met outside the window was real; your current expression is clearly an exaggerated performance.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Hayasaka: "Have you ever heard the saying..."

"what?"

"When you say thank you, you should show off your breasts."

Hayasaka Ai's sweet smile froze slightly, and she couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath:

"You shameless, lewd, and perverted senior!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

"..."

After saying a few words, Natsuki Amamiya asked again:

"Tell me about your mission and your experience after entering the instance."

The spy maid nodded and began her narration.

She entered the instance outside the valley, and she wasn't alone; she was with other players passing by.

The world was covered in ice and snow, and they had no idea where to go. Just then, wisps of smoke rose from the valley, and the two of them naturally ventured into the valley to explore. Unfortunately, they were caught by mushroom-grown dwarves.

Fortunately, Hayasaka Ai had a quick wit and temporarily disguised herself as a maid to ensure her safety.

If Natsuki Amamiya hadn't come, she would have already started her escape plan.

"The main mission is to survive for forty-eight hours." Hayasaka Ai pursed her pink lips. "There's also a mission to break the Seed of Nightmare."

Fujiwara Chika nodded in agreement.

“Xia Shu and I are also on this mission, but Yan Zi doesn’t have this mission; she only needs to complete the survival mission.”

Hayasaka Ai pondered for a moment and said:

"Perhaps it's because Senior Sister Yanzi is a newbie?"

"..."

Listening to the conversation of the four people, the girl passing by couldn't help but whisper:

"Um, are you together?"

“That’s right.” Fujiwara Chika put her right hand on her hip and tilted her chin up as she explained, “We used a dungeon invitation to come in and adventure with you, Senpai.”

Following this, Fujiwara Chika gave a detailed introduction to the mutual aid group and extended an invitation:

"In this instance, everyone helps each other and clears the instance together. After the game ends, you can join a mutual aid guild, where there are many skilled players and lots of useful items."

"Okay, so awesome!"

The girl on the street widened her eyes in surprise, with a subtle feeling of "I've found my people".

Like Senior Yanzi, she was a newbie player who had only gone through two dungeons and barely managed to clear them both. She once thought she was the unluckiest person in the world and that her future was bleak.

The shock I felt upon suddenly hearing that someone had formed an organization with hundreds of players in real life was unimaginable.

join in!

You must join the mutual aid society!

Humans are creatures that should stick together for warmth and support. The power of the collective far surpasses that of an individual. Only a fool would play the lone wolf game!

Can I really join the mutual aid society?

The girl passing by asked nervously.

“Of course you can.” Fujiwara Chika nodded. “The purpose of the mutual aid society is to help each other. You can join anytime you want. Of course, there are some obligations to abide by… We’ll talk about those after we clear the game.”

"My name is Kaoru Yamashita," the girl introduced herself. "The dungeon quest is also about surviving for forty-eight hours."

This random girl, like the senior student, is a newbie player, but she's very lucky; she got a skill from a blind box a couple of days ago.

"You have skills?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked over curiously.

Since the random girl had decided to latch onto a powerful figure, she naturally didn't hide anything and quickly showcased her skills.

[Skill: Disguise]

[Description: You can record target information through physical contact, pretending to make contact with the target. Any harm received or attack on others will break the disguise. The disguise can last for up to ten minutes.]

[Note: This is a reference to a specific character, "Neko," and is not translated.]

"The skill is so weak, I don't even know what it's for," the girl complained. "I tried it once at home, pretending to be my mom, but when I slapped the wall, the disguise was gone."

Hayasaka Ai's smile froze slightly.

hateful!

How can you say it's useless? This is clearly an incredibly powerful skill!

I want it so much, I want it so much, I want it so much!

Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but look at Amamiya Natsuki, "Senpai, can Kaoru's skills be copied?"

A curious young girl asked:

"What does 'copy' mean?"

"It's one of my abilities, somewhat similar to your chameleon." Natsuki Amamiya said, demonstrating her skill as she spoke.

Only the weak need to hide. Besides, the existence of copy-paste skills means that the more people there are, the greater their impact.

Rather than pretending to be weak to prey on others, it's better to be a tiger directly.

"Wow, so many skills!"

The girl passing by stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

With so many skills, he's definitely a seasoned pro. I'm sticking with him!

“Many of them are temporary skills copied from elsewhere.” Natsuki Amamiya said calmly, zooming in on the skill description of Touch of Fate, “...It requires physical contact to copy and paste skills.”

The young girl passing by asked curiously, "How do I do it?"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

A handshake is fine.

A handshake and holding hands—a difference of just one word, but completely different meanings.

"I see. Natsuki-kun, please copy my skills over."

The girl in the street quickly extended her right hand.

The girl looked to be a college student; she wasn't acting coy or shy.

Holding the hand of a random girl, the game quickly prompts you whether to copy her.

"no problem."

Natsuki Amamiya looked at Ai Hayasaka and nodded slightly.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

"Copy successful, and I also pasted a skill for you."

Natsuki Amamiya copied the disguise ability and casually added a "sweep away evil" attack to the other party.

"Senior, come here for a moment."

Hayasaka Ai quietly beckoned to Amamiya Natsuki and whispered in her ear, "Let's go outside and talk."

Amamiya Natsuki followed Hayasaka out of the wooden house.

"It's so cold."

A cold wind blew in, and the spy maid quickly hugged her arms, shivering slightly.

Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward to shield Hayasaka Ai from the cold wind: "Why did you call me out?"

"Senior, when are we going to find the young lady?"

Hayasaka Ai asked in a low voice.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Let's rest for a bit, eat something, and then we'll head over. The compass can only determine the general location; it won't find us that quickly."

“Once you get close, give me the exact location.” Hayasaka Ai took out a hair clip and pinned it to her head. “This is a gadget I bought. It can lock onto a target, and it will sparkle once it gets close to the young lady.”

Hayasaka Ai actually wanted to buy a teleportation item that would allow her to teleport directly to the silly young lady, but unfortunately, no one was selling those things.

"It works well." Natsuki Amamiya nodded. "If you have the hair clip, you won't run into the Red Shoes when you go to find Chika."

Hayasaka Ai whispered:

"So, you should come find me first, senior."

Amamiya Natsuki remarked:

"With Qianhua not by my side, if I came here, I'd probably end up like you, a prisoner."

“That’s true.” Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling. Suddenly, she leaned closer and breathed on her, saying, “In consideration of how hard you went to save me, I can give you some reward. If you sincerely ask me for help, I might even consider a kiss.”

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the spy maid's pink and tender lips. Her heart suddenly raced, and an urge to bully her surged forth.

But Hayasaka Ai was completely unaware of this, extending her slender finger and lightly touching her lips:

"Senior, how about a kiss... eh eh eh?"

Before he could finish speaking, Natsuki Amamiya suddenly reached out and grabbed the girl's soft, slender waist, pulling the spy maid into his arms.

Amamiya Natsuki looked down, her gaze intense, and said:
