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

Kaguya Shinomiya said softly, for some reason, this silly young lady clearly didn't seem as happy as she was during the day.

"You were the only one missing," Natsuki Amamiya said softly. "Why did it take you so long to get here?"

"I……"

Kaguya Shinomiya moved her pink lips, a hint of hesitation appearing on her pretty face. Just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Ghost pounced on her.

"Kaguya, why are you so late? Mom was so worried!"

"Something just caused a slight delay." Kaguya Shinomiya tilted her head to one side. "I'm fine, don't hug me."

"Your mother sent you a message, but you didn't reply."

"My phone wasn't with me at the time."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at Hayasaka, the maid behind Kaguya, her eyes questioning:

"what happened?"

The maid, Hayasaka, remained expressionless and did not answer, only shaking her head slightly.

"Kaguya-chan, you're finally here." Fujiwara Chika turned around when she heard the noise. "I've been waiting for you to come and eat watermelon together."

Kitagawa Kaimu volunteered: "I'll go and bring the watermelon over."

As Kaguya Shinomiya arrived last, the atmosphere became lively once again.

To be precise, we're still missing one more bird, but the bird usually doesn't arrive until after 10:30.

After eating watermelon together, to avoid getting Hayasaka "involved" in the game, Kaguya Shinomiya sent her maid Hayasaka home first.

"Yes, Miss."

Hayasaka Ai then exits the stage, changes her identity, and makes a dazzling appearance as her junior, Hanamori.

"Good evening, senior."

Hayasaka Ai stood gracefully outside the door with her hands behind her back, a sweet smile on her face and a clear voice, "Did you miss me, senpai?"

Just now you wouldn't say a word, acting like a stranger, but now you're acting all cute and charming without even blushing. You're something else.

However, to be fair, between the maid Hayasaka and the junior Hayasaka, the junior Hayasaka who knows how to act cute is definitely more adorable.

"I really want to," Natsuki Amamiya said, squinting. "I want to eat you up."

Hayasaka Ai covered her chest with both hands: "I'm sorry, senpai, it's too embarrassing for you to want to do something lewd in front of everyone. Please forgive me for not being able to accept it."

"So, why are you so late?"

As Amamiya Natsuki spoke, she glanced at the silly young lady in the living room. Compared to the daytime, Kaguya was clearly somewhat depressed now.

"Well..." Hayasaka Ai's smile disappeared, and her expression turned cold. "I'll tell you after we clear the dungeon tomorrow."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

Why don't you say so now?

“Talking about it now won’t solve the problem.” Hayasaka Ai pursed her pink lips. “We’re entering the dungeon tomorrow, so don’t get distracted, senpai.”

Amamiya Natsuki remarked:

Don't you think that leaving things unsaid makes people more distracted?

"It's better to distract you than to let you be unfaithful." Hayasaka's cold expression vanished in an instant, and she transformed back into the energetic junior Hayasaka. "Hello, senpai. Goodbye, senpai."

"..."

When they were alone, they could bully others, but now that everyone was here, the situation had reversed, and even Komi-kun couldn't be bullied anymore.

"We've found all the remaining raw materials for the witch's potion." Compared to Hai Meng, the silly young lady was much more efficient at searching. "They should arrive tomorrow, and we can try making the first batch of potions then."

"Wow, that's amazing! You managed to collect so many things." Kitagawa Kaimu stuck out her tongue. "Kaguya-san, you've worked hard."

Hayasaka Ai, standing next to her, raised her hand to cover her mouth, barely suppressing the urge to make a sarcastic remark.

The one who worked hard was clearly herself. The young lady only moved her lips and did nothing else. She completely enjoyed the fruits of others' labor!

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Whether the potion can be successfully made is still unknown. After all, it's not officially certified by the game, so don't worry about it too much for now. Let's finish the game first."

“Natsuki-san is right.” Fujiwara Chika nodded in agreement. “It’s almost midnight, isn’t it? Speaking of which, we still don’t know what the theater is like.”

"Hey, I just thought of something." Kitagawa Kaimu suddenly raised her right hand. "The school last night was almost indistinguishable from a real school, so the amusement park should be able to simulate that too, right?"

"The last time I went to Disneyland was in junior high school. It was a weekend, and I only remember that it was incredibly crowded; I almost died from being squeezed," Kitagawa Kaimu said expectantly. "Natsuki, Natsuki, after we clear the dungeon, shall we go and simulate collecting Disneyland?"

Shut up! Do you even know what the strongest legal department in the Western Hemisphere is like? A lawyer's letter warning you're about to rain down from the sky!

Chapter 411 The Silly Young Lady Wants to Walk Her Dog

Twelve o'clock at midnight.

The girls gathered in the living room.

What rules will be set today?

Natsuki Amamiya took out a pumpkin lantern, its pale blue flame flowing quietly like water.

"The same 'Statues' game as yesterday?" Kitagawa Kaimu held up a finger. "Besides Miko and me, no one else has experienced the joy of unforgettable memories."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded, looked at the other girls, and said:

"What do you say?"

Fujiwara Chika said in a clear voice:

"I also want to experience the joy of having a photographic memory."

“Well, photographic memory is indeed impressive, but we’re entering the dungeon tomorrow. Perhaps we could change the rules?” Hayasaka Ai clasped her hands together. “Perhaps we can unlock Senpai’s Midnight Theater in the dungeon. We can talk about studying later.”

“Hua Shou is right.” Senior Yanzi nodded in agreement. “Studying in a hospital feels so strange… We’re not short of time.”

After some discussion, the girls quickly reached a consensus to formulate new rules today.

“The rule of depriving the five senses can be replaced.” The silly young lady’s black hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, her neck was slender and beautiful, and a small piece of collarbone could be faintly seen under her pajamas. She suggested, “For vengeful spirits and monsters, losing their sight may not affect their actions.”

For humans, losing sight makes it almost impossible to move around; if the five senses were truly taken away, the player would be even more likely to be in trouble.

Lord Zhu sat on the sofa, hugging a cushion, and whispered:

"It would be great if we could create a rule that only players can do, and dungeon monsters can't complete."

"There can't be such a rule, right?"

"That's right, everyone should be treated equally before the rules, and everyone must abide by them."

"If we could make more rules, maybe we could manage it."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly spoke up:

"I've thought of a rule that might meet the requirements."

"Eh?"

The girls all looked over.

"What rules?"

"Natsuki, tell us quickly."

Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at the silly young lady and said:

"Kaguya-san, do you still remember our time at the Ghost Academy?"

Kaguya Shinomiya blinked, her eyes brightening slightly, and a gentle smile played on her lips: "...If it's that kind of rule, the monsters in the dungeon really can't do it."

"What are you talking about?" Fujiwara Chika looked at her with wide eyes and asked anxiously, "We all cleared the Ghost Academy together, so why don't I know about it?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Chika and said:

"When people are pushed to the limit, they're capable of anything. What's the exception?"

"I know!" Hayasaka Ai blurted out, "It's a math problem!"

"So it was that exam." Fujiwara Chika slapped her forehead. "You guys could have just said it."

Although Senior Sister Yanzi hadn't participated in the Ghost Academy dungeon before, she had read the dungeon guide in the mutual aid group and understood what they were talking about. Her eyes lit up as she said:

"Does Natsuki-kun mean to establish rules related to math problems?"

“That’s right.” Natsuki Amamiya interlaced her fingers and said seriously, “It’s time to let the vengeful spirits experience the terror of mathematics.”

"..."

After deciding to write new rules, the girls quickly got to work.

We'll be entering the instance tomorrow night, so the drafting and verification of the new rules must be completed tonight. Regardless of whether the theater can be activated in the instance, we must first make preparations in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Compared to the girls having a lively discussion, Natsuki Amamiya was much more relaxed, sitting on the sofa leisurely drinking tea and comfortably experiencing the feeling of being the head of the household—no matter who expressed an opinion, he would ultimately be the one to enter it into the rules.

Silent all night.

the next day.

When Jianzi quietly slipped home, Amamiya Natsuki woke up, dressed herself, and prepared to go out for a dog walk.

"Natsuki-kun, what are you going to do?"

The girl's clear, cold voice reached my ears.

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and saw the silly young lady quietly appear by the door.

"Taking the dog for a walk." Natsuki Amamiya waved the leash in her hand. "Why are you up?"

Last night, after exploring the simulated theater, Natsuki Amamiya closed it and everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Tonight we'll be doing a dungeon run, so staying in good shape is important.

"Get up and go to the bathroom." Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips slightly, seemingly casually saying, "Do you usually walk the dog this early?"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

“It used to be evening, but now that I’m busy, it’s morning… You can sleep a little longer, I’m going out.”
