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

"I've finished eating." Snow White lifted her chin. "The taste was barely acceptable; I could just manage to swallow it."

"You talk too much."

Without hesitation, Hayasaka Ai put the hood on Snow White and re-tied her hands. Her movements were swift and efficient, drawing subtle glances from the senior student Yanzi beside her.

"Hanamori seems quite skilled at it..."

at the same time.

Amamiya Natsuki gently tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention, and then said:

"We've rested enough; it's time to get back to work."

"Let's go." Fujiwara Chika clenched her fist. "Let's go find Kaguya-chan."

Hearing that the group was leaving, the dwarves all gathered around.

"Hero, it's completely dark now. Why don't you rest for the night and leave tomorrow?"

"That's right, the night is dangerous."

Amamiya Natsuki shook her head and said:

"We still have very important things to do."

Little Red Riding Hood tilted her head up and said, "The hero still has to go and save the world."

The little dwarfs became even more excited upon hearing this.

"Hero, please allow us to join you on your adventure."

"We must repay the hero's kindness."

"..."

After a few seconds of contemplation, Amamiya Natsuki agreed, "Then let's act together."

Putting everything else aside, I haven't completed the side quests for Cinderella and the Glass Slipper, or the Red Shoes.

To complete the task, manpower is naturally needed, and the dwarves can certainly be put to good use.

"Natsuki-san, what about Snow White?" Fujiwara Chika asked. "Should we leave her in the cabin?"

"Of course we'll bring them along."

Natsuki Amamiya looked at Snow White wearing a hood and said meaningfully, "It would be a waste to keep her here. We should make the most of her."

"..."

After discussing and agreeing on who would take care of Snow White, it was decided that Hayasaka Ai would be primarily responsible for looking after her, while the senior would check on her and make sure she wasn't overly worried. This approach was the most reassuring.

On the other side, several dwarfs had also tidied themselves up and were ready to go.

When the dwarves tried to make torches, Natsuki Amamiya stopped them and handed them a flashlight instead, which greatly shocked the dwarves, who thought they had witnessed a miracle.

Even Snow White was shocked, having never seen such an industrial product before, and became even more docile for a moment.

Amamiya Natsuki took out her search compass and the silly young lady's personal belongings, quickly pinpointed the approximate location, and continued on her way.

Chapter 375 You don't want the princess to be bullied, do you?

"Where is that place over there?"

Amamiya Natsuki took out the search compass and found the direction where the silly young lady was.

The little girl leading the way tilted her head up and said, "I don't know."

The seven dwarfs all shook their heads, indicating they didn't know either.

Only Snow White, wearing a hood, said:

"That's the direction of the castle."

"A castle?"

Amamiya Natsuki put away the compass. "That's perfect."

They had originally planned to steal the magic mirror, and now that the silly young lady is probably in the city, they don't need to run around anymore.

Snowflakes fell thick and fast, as if they would fall all the way to the ends of the earth.

Compared to the two lonely people when they first arrived, the group has grown rapidly to include seven dwarfs, Little Red Riding Hood, and Snow White. The excitement and morale are equally high.

Only Snow White was unhappy.

"Commoner, take off the hood over my head, I can't see anything."

"Hero, why are you holding that commoner and not me?"

"We can have the seven dwarfs pull the sled; they have plenty of strength anyway."

"..."

Hayasaka was in charge of looking after Snow White. Faced with this arrogant and prejudiced princess, Hayasaka Ai's way of dealing with her was quite simple.

"See this snowball?"

Hayasaka Ai bent down, grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, made a snowball in her palm, and handed it to Snow White, saying casually:

"I love having snowball fights in winter. This snowball might just land inside your clothes later."

"..."

Snow White gave a soft hum and fell silent.

After putting on the hood, the curse of the simp is greatly weakened. It is no longer possible to turn someone into a simp just by their voice. Only those who know when to yield are the wise ones.

Continue on your journey.

"It's so dark." Fujiwara Chika walked beside Amamiya Natsuki, holding a flashlight to help light the way, and said in a clear voice, "I didn't realize how dark it was in the wild."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Because there is too much light pollution in the city."

The most inconvenient aspect of nighttime operations is the darkness.

Unlike modern times, where light pollution is everywhere, the nights in ancient times were pitch black, which is why the dwarfs said that nighttime travel was very dangerous.

Now that we have flashlights for lighting, the safety issue can be resolved, but the snow on the ground is very deep, making it difficult to walk and causing trouble.

"My shoes feel wet from the snow, they're so cold." Fujiwara Chika kicked the snow off her feet. "I miss the werewolf lady who pulled the sled."

“What a coincidence, I miss it too,” said Natsuki Amamiya. “When I went to see Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother, I was wondering if I would meet Grey Wolf and have him pull the sled, but unfortunately I didn’t.”

"That's the Big Bad Wolf, isn't it?" Fujiwara Chika clutched her stomach. "...Mushrooms are so mean, I feel hungry again."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Hold on, or I won't be able to carry you anymore."

The secretary's cheeks puffed out: "I didn't ask you to carry me. You'll lose weight after you clear the level!"

"..."

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a weak voice suddenly rang out.

"Um...can we take a break?"

The young girl covered her mouth with her hand, yawned, and said in a tired voice, "I feel so tired, I can't walk anymore."

Senior Sister Yanzi bit her lower lip and said hesitantly:

"I'm a little tired too."

Hayasaka Ai frowned slightly. "We've been walking for less than an hour since we left the cabin... Is it the mushroom's influence?"

The mushroom on Senior Swallow's head, like the mushroom on Passerby Girl's head, is a Sloth Mushroom.

“Definitely.” Fujiwara Chika nodded in agreement. “I don’t feel tired at all… I’m just hungry. Where’s Hanamori-chan?”

Hayasaka Ai looked away and said nonchalantly, "I don't feel anything for the time being."

I do have feelings.

And it's the kind of thing that I care about a lot.

Why should you have to watch Snow White while you can walk next to your senior and chat happily with them?

hateful!

If you want to chat, you can only chat with me!

That's right, the mushroom on the spy maid's head is the Jealousy Mushroom.

The type of mushroom that grows on your head will continuously amplify the corresponding attribute.

Although Hayasaka Ai didn't show any expression on her face, she was actually stomping her feet inwardly, wanting to drive Chika away and take her place.

"Senior, come here. Let me check how the mushrooms are doing. Can we pick them now?"

Amamiya Natsuki waved.

"Oh……"

Zian Yan walked over and lowered her head.

“The mushrooms look like they’ve grown quite a bit,” Fujiwara Chika said, shining her flashlight on them. “They seem to be growing faster than the little dwarves said.”

Based on information gathered from villagers and dwarfs, the mushroom people can be roughly divided into three stages.

The first stage is the juvenile stage, where a small mushroom grows on the top of the head. It will gradually grow larger over time, with the exact time being uncertain, and during this period, it will affect the personality of the mushroom person.

The second stage is the maturation period, when the mushroom has grown up. At this time, the inner desires begin to increase suddenly and eventually become uncontrollable, turning into chaos and evil.

Finally comes the spore stage, like Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma. Once the mushrooms are fully mature, they can even affect other people.

"Perhaps it's because players have too many impure and defiled thoughts in their minds?"

Natsuki Amamiya reached out and touched the mushroom on her senior's head, then quickly shook her head.

"No, it's not possible to pick them yet."

The Dark Chef can only collect ingredients. The mushrooms he's picking don't yet meet the standards for ingredients, and forcibly picking them could endanger his life.

"Then there's nothing we can do," Fujiwara Chika said softly. "We can only wait for the mushrooms to grow a little bigger... What if Senpai can't walk anymore?"
