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

I'm not a petty person, so why do I keep getting jealousy mushrooms?

The four then activated their disguises, transforming into a strange combination of a doctor, a nurse, a patient, and a cleaner, and walked out of the consultation room together.

“Aoi.” Natsuki Amamiya looked at the headless JK. “You continue to follow Komi and protect her safety. Don’t worry, I will make sure you are satisfied with what I promised you.”

"I see."

Amamiya Natsuki then looked at the boy with the wood-chopping knife. Without saying a word, the boy bowed and said:

"Rest assured, I will protect your girlfriend's safety with my life."

"Very well, thank you for your hard work."

"..."

The four split up and each headed to an unexplored area.

"You're really amazing, senior." Hayasaka Ai crossed her arms and said in a low voice, "Those two patients are completely obedient to you."

“That’s because I provided them with the best treatment plan,” Natsuki Amamiya replied softly. “Shall we go find Kaguya first?”

"it is good."

Hayasaka Ai raised her right hand and subtly pinched the hair clip, which was a hair clip prop that would glow slightly and indicate the direction as long as it received a signal from the silly young lady.

Following the signal indicating the card was being issued, Hayasaka Ai pointed and said, "Senpai, this way."

The two, a sick doctor and a blood-stained nurse, walked on the road without anyone stopping them. They walked out of the complex and into the dark night, heading in one direction.

“The signal is getting stronger…” Hayasaka Ai whispered, “It should be that building up ahead.”

Amamiya Natsuki squinted and racked her brain for a few seconds: "It seems to be the cafeteria."

"The young lady should be inside the cafeteria," Hayasaka Ai whispered. "Senpai, how do we get in?"

Amamiya Natsuki said matter-of-factly:

"Of course, we went in openly and honestly."

A doctor and a nurse can go anywhere openly and honestly; hiding will only arouse suspicion.

"That's true."

Hayasaka Ai nodded and walked into the cafeteria with Amamiya Natsuki.

The cafeteria was dimly lit, with a faint fishy smell in the air. There were only a few diners eating, and it was unclear what they were eating.

“It can’t be any more precise.” Hayasaka Ai lowered her voice. “The young lady might be among those diners… Let’s go take a look.”

Kaguya Shinomiya can recognize the two of them simply by seeing the mushroom on Hayasaka's head. It's that simple.

Amamiya Natsuki and Hayasaka Ai quietly strolled around the cafeteria together.

However, the diners eating the unknown Indian food did not react at all to the mushrooms on the two men's heads.

"what happened?"

Hayasaka Ai slightly furrowed her brows.

“It’s obvious,” Natsuki Amamiya said in a low voice, “Kaguya-san isn’t among them.”

Hayasaka Ai frowned and said:

"The cafeteria is only so big, where could the young lady possibly be..."

Before she could finish speaking, Amamiya Natsuki suddenly heard hurried footsteps. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a pale-faced, unfamiliar girl running out of the kitchen, looking back with a look of terror on her face as she ran.

next moment.

Whoosh!

A bloodstained chain shot out from the darkness like a venomous snake, suddenly wrapping around the right leg of the fleeing girl.

With a loud "bang," the runaway girl was pulled to the ground, her face filled with despair.

dong dong dong.

A portly chef, wearing a greasy apron and holding a cleaver, emerged from the darkness. His deep, booming voice made one's eardrums ring:

"No wonder you couldn't do anything right today, you're a mouse... You'll be the special breakfast tomorrow."

As the fat chef spoke, he dragged the desperate girl into the darkness.

"senior……"

Hayasaka Ai watched this scene, gritted her teeth, and whispered.

Natsuki Amamiya said expressionlessly:

"It must be a player."

Horror games are never playgrounds; danger lurks everywhere. Even someone like Natsuki Amamiya can go wrong if she's careless.

In fact, every time a dungeon is opened, there are always some unlucky players in the mutual aid group whose avatars will remain dark forever and never light up again.

Hayasaka Ai frowned and said:

"Could it be the young lady?"

“The possibility is very low.” Natsuki Amamiya shook her head slightly.

When everyone is together, Kaguya Shinomiya might act foolishly, but when she is alone, she is always exceptionally calm, and with her ability to transform into a shadow, she will not be easily caught.

"Better safe than sorry." Hayasaka Ai bit her finger and whispered, "Judging from the current situation, the young lady should be in the kitchen. We need to go in... Besides, there's that player whose identity was exposed."

As the saying goes, "Those of one kind grieve for those of the same kind."

We are all ordinary players, and as fellow human beings, we will naturally not stand idly by when we see our companions in danger—the main reason being that, so far, there has never been a dungeon where players fight each other.

In the absence of a conflict of interest, players will naturally help each other the most.

"Senpai," Hayasaka Ai looked up and whispered, "do you still have that cloak that makes you disappear?"

In the Ghost Ship challenge instance, the two previously used cloaks that eliminated their presence, and they can still use them now.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded, walked to a dimly lit corner, took out a cloak, and draped it over her shoulders.

"Come in."

Without hesitation, Hayasaka Ai walked straight to Amamiya Natsuki's side.

The cloak wasn't very big, and it was barely enough to cover two people.

Back on the ghost ship, even when they were forced to use the cloaks together, Hayasaka Ai would still try to keep her distance and avoid physical contact with Amamiya Natsuki.

Things are completely different now.

Without any hesitation, junior Hayasaka stretched out her arms and hugged Amamiya Natsuki's arm tightly. The two of them stood close together intimately, and Hayasaka even stood on tiptoe to whisper in Amamiya Natsuki's ear, urging her:

"Senior, hurry up! If you're even a step slower, that unlucky player might be gone."

"Thank you for the 'poisonous milk' (a Chinese idiom for bad luck)."

"whispering sound."

Chapter 419 Hayasaka Ai is on a killing spree

Compared to the restaurant in front, the kitchen was much darker and more gloomy, with the dull sound of chopping bones echoing from time to time in the darkness.

Amamiya Natsuki and Hayasaka shared a cloak and walked side by side into the kitchen.

"Infiltration successful."

Before long, the two followed the fat chef from before to a greasy and dirty kitchen.

"It smells awful."

Hayasaka Ai frowned slightly and raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose.

The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood, along with an indescribable stench; it was truly awful.

"The hygiene is really appalling," Natsuki Amamiya muttered. "Anyone who dares to eat here will probably become a jetpack fighter under Wallace's command."

"Ugh, senior is disgusting."

"I have something even more disgusting to show you later."

"whispering sound."

"..."

Looking at the unfortunate player, bound hand and foot and carelessly left in a corner, Hayasaka Ai leaned closer and whispered in his ear:

"Perverted senior, what do we do now?"

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head, leaned close to Hayasaka Ai's ear, and whispered, "Don't make any rash moves yet."

Junior Hayasaka blushed slightly: "Perverted senior, don't breathe in my ear."

"I'm so sorry I need to breathe."

"..."

The unfortunate player who was caught lay motionless in the corner, it was unclear whether he had given up struggling or was deliberately trying to minimize his presence.

“That guy should be fine for a while,” Natsuki Amamiya said in a low voice. “Let’s check how many people are in the kitchen first.”

"clear."

Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly, her eyes calm.

If it were the silly young lady trapped in a predicament, she would definitely rush out to rescue her immediately. However, the unlucky guy whose identity was exposed is most likely a stranger player she doesn't know, so Hayasaka Ai naturally wouldn't put the other person's safety first.

The two continued to hide in the corner, observing from the shadows.

“Senior, there’s another chef in the corner.” Hayasaka Ai pointed. “Right there.”

"Saw."

Natsuki Amamiya squinted and looked down. In the corner, a chef in greasy work clothes was dozing off on a chair.

"With Chika gone, I only have one anti-gangster weapon on me, so I need to be more careful," Amamiya Natsuki said in a low voice. "Let's lure that fat chef away first and take them down one by one."

The kitchen was small, and any slight movement would wake up the dozing vengeful spirit chefs. Facing two vengeful spirit chefs at the same time was undoubtedly quite dangerous, so Amamiya Natsuki naturally chose to proceed cautiously.

After saying that, Natsuki Amamiya took out a wind-up frog—this thing is just an ordinary toy that you get from a blind box, similar to a pack of tissues, with no special function.
