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

Do you know what kind of mushroom is on my head?

Hayasaka Ai was taken aback by what she heard, but quickly realized what she meant.

Not right.

It's not right.

When exchanging information just now, Fujiwara Chika and Koyasu Tsubame both mentioned the types of mushrooms on their heads, but they didn't mention what kind of mushroom idiot Natsuki had on his head.

Why didn't Chika and her senior say anything?

Hayasaka Ai placed her hands on Amamiya Natsuki's chest and asked curiously, "Is the mushroom on your head special, Senpai?"

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"Whether it's special or not, I'm not sure, but you'll find out soon enough."

"Let me touch it... um!"

Hayasaka Ai had only reached halfway when she was suddenly attacked by Amamiya Natsuki, causing her to open her eyes wide.

He was actually forcibly kissed?!

It's just teasing, I'm not actually asking you to kiss me!

This spy maid is a typical example of someone who is highly offensive but weakly defensive. She started by teasing people in various ways, but now that she's actually being bullied, she panics. The hot touch on her lips makes her even more flustered, and she quickly supports herself against Amamiya Natsuki's chest.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Hayasaka Ai's pretty face flushed red, and her breathing became slightly rapid. "Senpai actually forced me. That's too much."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"You just said you'd give me a kiss as a reward."

Hayasaka Ai gritted her teeth: "I clearly said that it was only after you begged me, senpai, that I would consider letting you kiss me!"

"Shall I make my request now?"

"It's too late!"

"..."

"Let me go, senpai." Hayasaka Ai leaned back, trying to break free, feeling that Amamiya Natsuki's eyes were dangerous. "It's so cold outside, let's go back quickly."

Amamiya Natsuki shook her head: "I won't let go."

"What else would you like to do, senior?"

Hayasaka Ai's eyes were wary.

"Didn't you want to know about the mushroom on my head?" Natsuki Amamiya said, looking down. "Reach out and touch it yourself."

Hayasaka Ai couldn't resist her curiosity and reached out to touch the mushroom, immediately widening her eyes in surprise.

"No wonder Chika and her senior had such strange expressions and didn't want to say anything. It was actually a lecherous wretch..."

Taking advantage of the moment when the spy maid's attention was diverted, Natsuki Amamiya successfully launched another sneak attack.

"Well--"

Hayasaka Ai suddenly opened her eyes wide and her body stiffened.

Although she had a wealth of theoretical experience and was not afraid of racing on Mount Akina, this was her first time experiencing it firsthand. The strange, tingling sensation made the spy maid's soul tremble and her mind lose control. She even wanted to reach out and hug Amamiya Natsuki's neck.

Hayasaka Ayase was startled awake by the sound of the door opening and hurriedly pushed Amamiya Natsuki away.

"You can come back and eat now," Senior Sister Yanzi's voice came from the doorway.

Hayasaka Ai quickly took a half step back, creating some distance, and looked towards the door. The light was so dim; they probably hadn't seen them kissing…

Amamiya Natsuki reached out and grasped the spy maid's right hand.

"You still want to come?!"

Hayasaka Ai's pretty face hardened, she gritted her teeth, and kicked Amamiya Natsuki.

Don't think that just because you have a succubus mushroom growing on your head, you can do whatever you want!

"I just thought your hands were too cold, they felt icy on my neck," Natsuki Amamiya explained. "I was just about to warm your hands up."

"neck……"

Hayasaka Ai quickly realized what was happening, and her face flushed again.

So what happened just now wasn't a hallucination; I really did hug that idiot Natsuki's neck?

Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"But I really want to do it again."

"Senior," Hayasaka Ai covered her pink lips, her smile dangerous, "How about I help you pull the mushroom off your head?"

"Pulling it out will kill someone."

"My senior just did such a terrible thing to me, my life is already on the countdown!"

"..."

The two returned to the cabin one after the other.

As a spy, Hayasaka has an excellent ability to manage her expressions. Apart from the lingering blush on her face, there is no sign of anything unusual. She chats with Chika-senpai with a bright smile.

The seven dwarfs had already served the food. Due to limited production capacity, the food was naturally quite ordinary: rye bread, cured venison, and a thick soup whose name they couldn't identify. However, being able to eat a hot meal in the freezing cold was already quite good.

In particular, Chika Fujiwara, who had gluttonous mushrooms growing on her head, was eating with great relish and couldn't stop.

Natsuki Amamiya ate her rye bread, finding the texture rough, but she didn't mind. While eating, she talked to the seven dwarfs and continued to gather information.

dong dong dong.

Just then, a knock on the door suddenly rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Chapter 373 The Curse of the Simp

"I'll open the door."

A little dwarf stood up, picked up his axe, and went to open the door.

The other dwarfs also became more vigilant and took up their weapons.

This world is fraught with danger. It's already dark, and suddenly something is knocking on the door. We must be on high alert.

"Click."

The door opens.

The wind, snow, and cold air swept in, making it bitterly cold.

The person knocking on the door was a slender young girl, wearing a white dress and a small crown, shivering in the wind and snow with her arms crossed.

There was no light outside, it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what the girl knocking on the door looked like. However, just by looking at her figure, one could tell that she had a delicate and graceful beauty like Lin Daiyu.

"Eh eh eh?"

Fujiwara Chika quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, reached out and poked Amamiya Natsuki's waist, then leaned closer and whispered:

"Could that girl be Snow White?"

Natsuki Amamiya casually remarked:

"Stay calm. We've already seen Little Red Riding Hood, so don't be surprised if Snow White appears."

"Hmm? Hero?"

Little Red Riding Hood, who was eating, looked up blankly.

"It's okay, you can continue eating."

"..."

"who are you?"

The dwarf, carrying an axe, asked warily.

"I am Snow White, and I just escaped from the castle... It's so cold outside, could I stay here for the night?"

The girl's voice was as melodious as a nightingale's song, exceptionally pleasant to hear.

The dwarf didn't answer immediately, but turned around and said, "Hero, shall we let her in?"

After a moment's thought, Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"Let her in first."

A wild Snow White likely represents a side quest.

Of course, the mission isn't important; what's important is the most beautiful person in the world, and of course I want to see them.

"Understood, My Lord." The dwarf opened the door. "You may come in now."

"Thank you."

Snow White thanked her softly and walked in from outside the door.

next moment.

Everyone in the cabin was shocked.

"Oh hoo——"

A little dwarf stared wide-eyed and let out a low gasp.

Fujiwara Chika's eyes sparkled: "So, so cute!"

The girl on the street clutched her chest: "No, my heart is melting!"

Hayasaka Ai instinctively said, "Impossible, she's even cuter than the young lady."

"..."

Several girls were like this, not to mention Amamiya Natsuki.

So far, the most beautiful girl he's ever seen is that silly young lady. The so-called "once-in-a-millennium beauty" on the internet doesn't seem much cuter than that silly young lady.

But at this moment, Natsuki Amamiya was shocked to discover that the Snow White before him seemed to have surpassed human limits in cuteness, completely outshining the silly young lady in every aspect, except for one attribute where she was on par with Kaguya—

Plain and unremarkable, a barren European style that makes one sigh.
