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

Kitagawa Kaimu ran over happily, completely unaware of what had just happened.

"call……"

Zi'an Yan let out a soft breath, looked up at Hai Meng, and smiled brightly at her, saying happily:

"I am back."

In any case, Hai Meng's safe return is wonderful news.

The girls successfully reunited, and naturally, they chatted and talked non-stop.

Instead of listening in, Natsuki Amamiya went to Sadako and continued to cultivate their relationship by making empty promises.

What is taken beforehand must be given beforehand.

If you want to recruit ghost stories to work for you, the initial investment is necessary.

After a while.

A pair of footsteps approached quietly.

"Fellow student..."

Zian Yan pursed her pink lips and quietly walked over.

Amamiya Natsuki turned around and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"The mushroom on my head is still there," Zian Yan said in a low voice. "Let's detonate it while no one's around."

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior."

Natsuki Amamiya nodded and prepared to detonate the mushroom.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Zian Yan suddenly reached out and called for a stop.

Amamiya Natsuki asked, "What's wrong?"

"I suddenly thought of something..." Senior Yanzi looked up, her bright pink eyes clear and beautiful. "What would happen if I activated my Shadow skill after detonating the mushroom and turned into a shadow?"

“A very good idea.” Amamiya Natsuki pondered upon hearing this. “I haven’t really considered this issue before, but emotions are indeed much less in the Shadow state… Senpai can try it now.”

Zian Yan nodded gently: "I'll give it a try."

It's best if it works, but it's okay if it doesn't. You can just paste it again after using the skill, so you won't lose anything either way.

boom.

The clothes fell to the ground.

In the instant she transformed into shadow, Zian Yan suddenly realized:

Wait, when I leave the shadow state, I'll be exposed again... It's such a loss!

Amamiya Natsuki waited silently for a while, but her senior didn't emerge from the shadow state. She clicked her tongue and said, "It seems to be effective."

What do the seven deadly sins of mankind have to do with me, a shadow in a two-dimensional world?

Amamiya Natsuki didn't leave either, and waited silently in the room.

Several minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The shadows on the ground suddenly rippled gently like flowing water, and then a female student appeared out of thin air.

"Junior, I did it..."

Zian Yan was overjoyed, but halfway through her sentence, she suddenly trembled as if she had been electrocuted, her breathing became rapid, and a mournful cry like a cuckoo crying blood came out.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Amamiya Natsuki frowned and looked over.

"I..." Senior Yanzi braced herself against the wall with her right hand, her breathing rapid, her chest heaving, as if every inch of her skin was flushed pink. Her usually bright and cheerful eyes were now misty, as if something was about to burst into tears. "It hurts so much...!"

"Senior?"

Amamiya Natsuki's expression was serious. She took half a step forward, preparing to check, as her condition was clearly not right.

Just as she raised her right hand, Koyasu suddenly pounced over, stretched out her arms, and tightly hugged Amamiya Natsuki's neck. Her eyes, which had turned into pink hearts, quickly approached and magnified, and then she pushed Amamiya Natsuki directly against the wall.

"Wait, what exactly is going on?"

The incident happened so suddenly that Amamiya Natsuki couldn't react for a moment. Just as she was about to push her senior away, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lips.

"I actually got pushed back by my senior."

Amamiya Natsuki was shocked.

The mushrooms were planted in less than an hour, how could they be so thirsty!

Even when Kaguya was under the influence of the Slaanesh mushroom for a day or two, she wasn't this ferocious as you!

Fortunately, the senior's push didn't last long. In just over a minute, Koyasu Yan suddenly retreated as if she had been electrocuted, and hurriedly separated from Amamiya Natsuki.

"Junior, I'm so sorry!" Senior Yanzi's pretty face was flushed red, almost dripping blood, and steam was rising from her hair. "I didn't mean to!"

"If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?" Amamiya Natsuki wiped her lips, her voice low and menacing, returning the favor verbatim, "You bit me until I bled, senpai, you went too far."

"It was my first time, and I had no experience..." Zi'an Yan stammered, bowing and apologizing, "In short, it's all my fault!"

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

When you apologize, please do so with sincerity.

Zian Yan: "..."

It was definitely my fault just now, but no matter how you look at it, you're the one who benefited, right?

They actually expect sincerity? That's going too far!

"Don't even think about it if you're not sincere." Zi'an Yan puffed out her cheeks, glaring at him shyly, her earlier panic gradually disappearing. "Turn around!"

There's no going back now. What's done is done, so there's no point in regretting it now.

Having figured this out, Ziyan quickly suppressed her feelings of self-pity.

Natsuki Amamiya faced the wall and said:

"Senior, what just happened?"

“I don’t know either.” Zi An Yan pursed her pink lips and hesitated. “After turning into Shadow, it seems that all kinds of emotions are suppressed, and I have a feeling of neither joy nor sorrow… When the skill’s duration ends and I turn back, I suddenly become extremely impulsive and can’t help it at all. My body is out of control and I can’t stop even if I want to.”

“The mushrooms were planted less than an hour ago. Logically speaking, as long as your willpower is strong enough, you can get through it without doing anything.” Amamiya Natsuki frowned and analyzed, “There is one explanation for your state just now… In Shadow Form, you are indeed not affected by the mushrooms, but the sins did not disappear. Instead, they suddenly erupted the moment you left the Shadow Form.”

Zian Yan: "..."

Upon closer examination, this possibility is quite high.

When I was growing mushrooms before, whether it was Sloth or Gluttony, they were all within my tolerance range. I was very clear-headed, but my body felt uncomfortable.

But the Slaanesh mushroom just now made him lose all his reason in an instant.

"So... you actually dug your own grave?"

Zian Yan recalled her earlier suggestion and covered her face, on the verge of tears.

If you had just dutifully detonated the mushroom instead of trying to skip class, none of this would have happened, right?

Fortunately, the senior wasn't one to wallow in self-pity. She quickly took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and whispered to Amamiya Natsuki with her back to her:

"...Everyone should be back by now, let's go out first."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and was about to leave the kitchen when she suddenly heard a soft thud outside the door, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Eh? Eh? Eh?" Senior Yanzi stopped in her tracks, her pretty face, which had just cooled down, flushed red again. "Someone's eavesdropping outside!!"

“It’s not necessarily eavesdropping,” Natsuki Amamiya reassured her. “It could also be spying.”

"Peeking..."

Senior Yanzi shuddered, feeling an instant sense of impending doom. "Who was peeking just now?"

Amamiya Natsuki shook her head and said, "I didn't see it clearly."

No matter who it was, what's done is done, and there's no use in regretting it.

Zian Yan could only compose herself and hope that the other party wouldn't tell anyone.

The two left the kitchen and went to the front dining room.

"Senior, are you alright now?"

Kitagawa Kaimu turned his head and asked.

"Cough, it's nothing."

Zi An Yan shook her head, her gaze sweeping over the others. So, who was the person peeking outside the door just now?

at the same time.

Natsuki Amamiya casually approached the little white rabbit girl and lowered his voice, saying:

"Komi-kun, you don't want your senior to find out, do you?"

Komi shuddered and quickly shook her head in denial: "I didn't peek."

"So you were eavesdropping?"

"nor……"

They're so guilty they're afraid to face anyone, yet they still deny it.

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"You were actually peeking through the door! Your senior is furious and wants to find you and make you do the same thing. What do you suggest?"

"...Liar."

"Ok?"

"Senior Yanzi isn't that kind of person; you're the one lying."

Amamiya Natsuki was extremely surprised.

I didn't realize you'd gotten so smart!

As they were talking, a noise came from the restaurant entrance. The group went over to check and found Kaguya Hayasaka and Chika, the three girls who had returned safely.
