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

After making her judgment, Zi'an Yan clenched her right fist and pressed it against her chest, saying:

"It's too hard to keep enduring this, I... I can help."

Amamiya Natsuki was taken aback and asked, puzzled:

"What kind of help can I get, senior?"

As a senior student, Zi'an Yan wasn't one to mince words. Now that she had spoken her mind, she naturally wouldn't run away. Her pretty face flushed red, and she stubbornly bit her pink lips, saying:

"It's the kind of help that relieves the pressure from the mushrooms."

"..."

This time, Natsuki Amamiya understood.

Chika didn't even offer to help, I didn't expect you to be the first to step forward!

"As expected of my senior," Natsuki Amamiya remarked. "So you're an experienced adult after all."

"I have no such experience!"

Zi'an Yan's pink cheeks puffed up quickly, and she couldn't help but say, "How could she have that kind of experience when she's never even dated anyone!"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Then why did the senior student help?"

“It’s all because of me that Xia Shujun entered this instance.” Zi Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, “And last night, I was careless and let Snow White escape… I can’t help with anything else, so I can only do what I can.”

After speaking, Zi'an Yan turned her pretty face away, her neck and earlobes turning a delicate pink, and whispered:

"However... you can only touch me for a short while, nothing else is allowed."

Upon hearing this, Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted slightly downwards, landing on the impressive curves that her senior's multiple layers of clothing could not conceal.

"What are you thinking!" Senior Yanzi's pretty face flushed red, and she covered her chest with her hands, unable to hold back her words, "I meant for you to touch my leg!"

Amamiya Natsuki's expression turned serious: "Senior, you've gone too far."

"Eh?"

"You actually used your most attractive feature to tempt me."

"Humph~"

Senior Sister Yanzi gave a soft hum and looked down at her legs.

Because of years of dance and gymnastics training, her legs are long and straight, which are indeed very beautiful. More than one person has said that they are beautiful.

However, legs are easier to accept compared to legs.

"You..." Senior Yanzi bit her pink lips lightly, her eyes moist, "Want to touch it or not?"

"..."

The Seraphim mushroom quietly grew larger, and Natsuki Amamiya involuntarily stretched out her right hand.

He only stretched it halfway before forcibly stopping.

"That was close." Amamiya Natsuki took a half step back and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "You actually tried to trick me into committing a crime."

"What crime..." Zi'an Yan said speechlessly, "I'm not going to call the police, what are you afraid of?"

By the end, Senior Yanzi's rosy cheeks had puffed out slightly.

You're not exactly a saint or a hero. You've already swallowed your shame and offered to help, and you still refuse? Don't I have any pride?

Natsuki Amamiya said in a low voice:

"That's because the senior doesn't understand boys."

"Eh?"

"Men are creatures of instinct; they take advantage of others. If you touch them once, they'll definitely want to do something even more outrageous."

Natsuki Amamiya said frankly, "Especially for a cute girl like you, I definitely can't resist. You won't even have time to cry then."

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya subconsciously raised her arms to cover her chest, her pretty face flushed as she playfully scolded Natsuki Amamiya, unable to resist complaining:

"You're being way too honest!"

“Honesty is a virtue.” Natsuki Amamiya turned to the side. “So, what do you say now, senpai? Do you still need help?”

"I……"

Zi'an Yan moved her pink lips, but couldn't bring herself to say she would help.

It's fine if it's just a touch, but those more outrageous things... I still care a lot.

The moment the thought of retreat crossed her mind, Zi'an Yan suddenly remembered her earlier actions and was filled with shame.

(Koyasu Tsubame, Koyasu Tsubame, is this all the awareness you have?)

(Natsuki-kun is still thinking of you, and you actually want to abandon him? That's shameful!)

(One cannot only think of oneself; one must also help others, especially as it is one's own responsibility!)

From childhood to adulthood, Senior Sister Yanzi has never been one to escape reality.

Taking a deep breath, Zi'an Yan's gaze quickly hardened, her pretty face flushed crimson, and she whispered:

"I can try...we'll talk about it if I really can't accept it."

Seeing the blushing face of the senior student, who had become more alluring and youthful than ever before, Natsuki Amamiya, under the influence of the Lustful Mushroom, could no longer resist and stretched out his right arm to hug her slender waist.

"Well……"

Holding the boy tightly in his arms, his chest pressing against hers, Senior Yanzi couldn't help but exhale. She didn't know where to look, and then she saw Amamiya Natsuki leaning closer. She opened her eyes wide in panic and quickly covered Amamiya Natsuki's mouth with her hand.

"Wait, wait a minute... No kissing!"

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself just now."

"Don't kiss my palm when you apologize... Ah!"

"..."

I have to say, the senior's legs are long and straight, and the pantyhose feel amazing.

"Speaking of which, isn't it cold wearing only stockings?"

Amamiya Natsuki inquired.

"It's a little cold." Senior Yanzi's pretty face flushed red, and she pursed her pink lips, trying her best to endure it. She felt as if ants were crawling on her legs, a strange, tingling sensation. "But it's bearable... Tokyo winters are also very cold, and I wear stockings too."

As Amamiya Natsuki spoke, he climbed up to his senior's absolute territory. The moment his fingers touched her skin, Senior Yanzi couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

"Ugh...don't, don't touch me, your hands are so cold."

Natsuki Amamiya reluctantly let go of his hand, and couldn't help but complain:

"Senior, are you sure you're not here to make things worse?"

"Of course I..."

Senior Yanzi lowered her gaze, glanced at it, her pretty face flushed red, and she quickly looked away.

"I'm back!"

"..."

Despite her seemingly dashing appearance, the senior student couldn't outdo Hayasaka Ai in terms of thick skin and quickly fled in disarray.

Having no other option, Natsuki Amamiya went back to the window and used snow to cool it down.

A moment later.

Once she had calmed down, Natsuki Amamiya turned and walked back to the castle hall.

"Natsuki-kun, why are you only just getting back?"

Fujiwara Chika asked in confusion.

Natsuki Amamiya glanced at Senior Yanzi and casually said, "I'm studying Bodhidharma, meditating in seclusion, trying to comprehend the seventh sense cosmos and control my own desires."

Fujiwara Chika, hands on her hips, exclaimed, "Bodhidharma wouldn't know about the cosmos!"

"..."

After saying a few words, Natsuki Amamiya clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention, and said seriously:

"This mission to the palace is fraught with danger. If you feel you are not up to the task, you may choose to stay. It's perfectly fine."

As the saying goes, they are more than capable of ruining things than accomplishing them.

When Jing Ke attempted to assassinate the King of Qin, if Qin Wuyang hadn't faltered at the crucial moment, the First Emperor might have been killed. Therefore, it's better to face a god-like enemy than a useless teammate.

Several random players hesitated for a moment, and some raised their hands to quit. After all, the main quest was no longer difficult, and as long as they stayed put, they could return to the real world.

In the end, only Senior Swallow, the girl Yamashita whom they first met, and Natsuki Amamiya were left to act together.

As for the dwarfs and Little Red Riding Hood, they naturally remained in the castle.

"Well then... let's set off."

The group soon arrived near the palace.

The snow is still falling.

The sky gradually darkened again.

The streets, covered in snow, were almost deserted, with only a few soldiers guarding the palace gates.

"Hana-Kami, you can transform now."

Natsuki Amamiya looked at the spy maid.

"Ah."

Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly and silently activated her temporary skill [Disguise]. A blurry wave quickly appeared around her, and she transformed into an extremely beautiful girl with silver hair reaching her waist and skin as white as snow.

Her looks have already reached the pinnacle of human beauty, even surpassing Kaguya Shinomiya.

It was Snow White.

Last night in the valley, Amamiya Natsuki saw that Hayasaka was very interested in the disguise skill, so she copied it and pasted it directly to Hayasaka Ai.
