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

at the same time.

The game notification sound rang in Natsuki Amamiya's ears:

The character quest 'Recover the Lost Most Precious Item' has been completed. Would you like to submit it now?

"no."

Amamiya Natsuki decisively rejected the offer. She still had the task of healing and saving lives to do, and as a mentor, it was her duty to guide those lost sheep.

"Senior, how are you doing?"

Hayasaka Ai looked over expectantly.

"Already done."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and tossed her phone onto the table.

The role's task has been completed, so there's no need to waste words.

“Hey, the obsession with the love charm is gone.” Fujiwara Chika held up the charm in her hand. “Look.”

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya looked over and discovered that the details of the appraisal had changed.

[Item: Love Amulet]

[Status: Obsession complete, can be taken out of this world]

[Attribute: A parting gift of heartfelt words, a vow known only to the two hearts. This item requires a matching set. After the confession ceremony, each party holds a copy, allowing them to communicate their innermost feelings regardless of distance.]

[Note: People who used to talk about everything now have nothing to say to each other. It's time to bridge the gap between our hearts.]

“These two amulets…” Fujiwara Chika blinked, “feel like walkie-talkies?”

Amamiya Natsuki shook her head and said:

"Walkie-talkies can be used by multiple people, but these love charms can only be used by two people."

Even so, these amulets are still quite useful items.

Once inside the instance, the situation is unknown. Players will rarely be together; most of the time they will be scattered. Therefore, communication and coordination are the most important things.

Besides the clothes you wear, electronic devices like cell phones cannot be brought into the instance, making communication a very troublesome matter.

These two amulets can communicate in real time regardless of spatial distance, making them far more effective than Komi's notebook. It's a pity there are only two of them.

"Come on, let's test the effect!" Fujiwara Chika said enthusiastically. "I'll take one, Hanamori-chan, and you can take the other love charm."

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Hayasaka Ai did not refuse and reached out to take the amulet.

"Well……"

Fujiwara Chika opened her eyes wide, her bright blue eyes fixed on Hayasaka Ai, and after a few seconds, she spoke expectantly:

"Hanamori-chan, what did I just say in my mind?"

Hayasaka Ai: "...Sorry, I didn't hear you."

Fujiwara Chika asked in confusion, "Huh? How come I didn't hear it? Is the amulet broken?"

Amamiya Natsuki said from the side:

"A confession ceremony needs to be completed before use."

"I almost forgot." Fujiwara Chika slapped her forehead. "Hmm, let's start with the confession ceremony... So, what's the ceremony like?"

"Don't look at me," Natsuki Amamiya retorted. "You're a socially active girl who's been receiving love letters from shoe cabinets since elementary school. You should have plenty of experience."

"I've never confessed to anyone before..." The secretary pinched the black bow on his forehead, looked at Hayasaka again, and bowed, "Hanamori-chan, I like you, please go out with me."

In other words, as the cancer of the earth and the source of chaos, Secretary Fujiwara could not have confessed to a girl of the same sex so calmly if it were anyone else.

Hayasaka Ai reached out and took the amulet, completing the ritual with her: "...Please take care of me from now on."

"..."

"This time there shouldn't be any problems," Fujiwara Chika said confidently. "This is the first time I've ever confessed my feelings."

After a while.

"Hanamori-chan, can you hear what I'm saying in my mind?"

"……No."

"Huh, why isn't it working?" Fujiwara Chika asked, puzzled. "Could it be because we're all girls?"

Natsuki Amamiya looked at Ai Hayasaka, and her junior, Hayasaka, looked back at her as well.

It doesn't necessarily have to be gender. Marriage is now free, and there is true love between people of the same sex. It could also be because of a pseudonym.

Using a pseudonym during a confession ceremony is bound to be disliked by the god of love.

"Cough... I guess so." Hayasaka Ai looked away, coughed lightly, and handed the love charm to Amamiya Natsuki. "Try it with your senior, and you'll know how it goes."

Natsuki Amamiya caught the amulet and looked at Chika Fujiwara: "Let's begin."

"Okay...wait a minute." Fujiwara Chika quickly called out, "Why did you make me do it?"

Amamiya Natsuki said, "Because Lady Chika is very experienced."

"It's not that rich at all," the secretary puffed out her cheeks. "Isn't confessing feelings supposed to be a boy's thing?"

Amamiya Natsuki pointed and said, "You just confessed to Hanamori."

"Hanamori-chan is a girl, not a boy. Besides, it was me just now, now it's your turn," Fujiwara Chika argued. "...Hurry up and confess to me."

Chapter 445 Wouldn't it be fine if they all confessed?

"Natsuki-kun, hurry up and confess your feelings."

Fujiwara Chika raised her chin and urged in a crisp voice.

"Then I'll start."

Amamiya Natsuki cleared her throat, looked at the pink-haired secretary in front of her, bowed, and handed over the love charm: "Chika-san, I like you, please be with me..."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Fujiwara Chika's pretty face flushed red, and she felt flustered, her heart pounding wildly. She quickly raised her hand to call for a stop.

"Let's find another place... the air in here smells awful."

This is the first time I'm going to accept a guy's confession. I don't expect it to be super romantic, but at least it can't be in a place full of smelly feet. The environment is just too awful!

Amamiya Natsuki nodded, readily agreeing:

"Let's go outside first and talk about it then."

The second task for the character has been completed, so it's time to leave.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Hayasaka Ai urged, covering her nose. "If we stay any longer, we'll suffocate."

"..."

The three of them left the lounge together, walked through the corridor, and arrived outside the inpatient building.

Amamiya Natsuki stopped and looked at Chika, saying:

How about confessing your feelings here?

"Ahem..." Fujiwara Chika coughed lightly, feeling inexplicably flustered, and stammered, "What if someone hears us?"

There was no one around.

"Who knows, maybe Voldemort is here... Or should we go back to the restaurant and talk about it?"

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki finally figured it out.

The room smelled bad, but that's not true. The real reason is that you chickened out!

As the cancer of the earth, you actually backed down at the crucial moment. Where did your usual courage go?

Fujiwara Chika stammered, then found another irrefutable reason: "Besides, you're still a bad doctor, and it feels really strange for you to confess to me while looking like someone else."

Amamiya Natsuki said speechlessly:

"So, I'm just testing the effect of the love charm."

“There’s no rush.” Fujiwara Chika turned her pretty face away. “Let’s go back to the restaurant first.”

Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at her silent junior, Hayasaka: "Shall we switch with Hanamori?"

"I'm sorry, I refuse." Hayasaka Ai covered her chest with her hands and quickly shook her head. "I just can't accept a confession from a middle-aged, decadent man."

Fujiwara backed out at the last minute, so he had to resort to confessing to me this time... Ha, men!

Don't even think about agreeing to it!

More importantly... the failed confession ceremony with Fujiwara was likely related to his pseudonym. Even if he confessed to himself, the ceremony couldn't be completed.

"Okay." Amamiya Natsuki put away her love charm. "We'll talk about it back at the restaurant."

"..."

Speechless all the way.

The three quickly returned to the restaurant.

The restaurant, which was originally deserted and not a soul in sight, has now become noticeably lively, with nearly half of the seats occupied. Unfortunately, one cannot look closely, as many of the guests have very obvious vengeful spirit characteristics and can be easily identified as not human.

"Natsuki, you're back?"

Kitagawa Kaimu's eyes lit up, and she came forward, wearing an apron around her waist, to serve as a temporary waitress.

"You're back." Natsuki Amamiya nodded. "Did any other guests cause trouble?"

"No." Kitagawa Kaimu blinked and whispered, "The lessons of the past are right before our eyes, and the guests are all behaving themselves now."

The yakuza man who wanted to dine and dash had only been taken away not long ago, and his deterrent effect was still there. Indeed, no vengeful spirit guests caused trouble, and everyone ate their meals in an orderly manner.

As they were talking, Kaguya Shinomiya, who was in charge of cashiering, bookkeeping, and directing operations, came over and whispered:

"President, how's the mission going?"
