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

It's called a storage warehouse, but it's actually empty; there are no supplies inside, and rats could starve to death there. However, there are quite a few more people here now.

First, there were two overweight chefs in charge of cooking at the restaurant, then a bloated restaurant manager, and later, a missing nurse.

To prevent these creatures from escaping, ropes were chosen as the binding method, with Hayasaka Ai primarily in charge. As the all-around maid, Amamiya Natsuki even thought that Hayasaka might be quite proficient in tortoise shell techniques.

A musty, rotten smell wafted over.

Natsuki Amamiya rubbed her nose, put on a mask, and approached the nurse.

"meet again."

"Woo..."

The nurse's voice was choked with sobs.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Natsuki Amamiya took the rope out of the nurse's mouth and said, "I have a few questions for you, please answer them carefully."

"Pooh!"

The nurse locked in the basement had a fierce look in her eyes, as if she was about to break free of her restraints at any moment.

However, the rope that Hayasaka Ai tied was exceptionally strong, and she couldn't break free at all.

Amamiya Natsuki sighed, took out a silver-white hollowed-out sphere from her pocket, with black ribbons on both sides, which looked strangely familiar, and then said:

"Nurse, you don't want your mouth to get rotten, do you?"

"..."

Faced with the threat, the nurse calmed down slightly and said in a hoarse voice:

"What do you want to ask?"

"First question," Natsuki Amamiya held up one finger, "Who is the hospital director? And where is his office?"

Upon hearing this question, the nurse's eyes widened in disbelief, and she said:

"What are you trying to do? Are you planning to harm the store manager?"

“That’s my business,” Natsuki Amamiya said calmly. “You just need to answer my questions.”

Nurse: "I would never betray the director!"

"That means the punishment wasn't severe enough."

As Amamiya Natsuki spoke, she put the props in her hands into use.

After a while.

"I'll answer you..." the nurse's voice was muffled, "Get it away now!"

"So, isn't it better to cooperate properly from the start?" Amamiya Natsuki shrugged and then asked, "Is the Dean male or female?"

"The dean is a man."

Tsk. Beautiful dean really only exists in comics.

Natsuki Amamiya asked again:

"How old is the dean?"

"He's probably in his forties or fifties."

He's actually a greasy middle-aged man, how realistic!

Natsuki Amamiya then asked, "Where is the dean's office?"

"It seems to be in the administration building, but I don't know the exact location."

Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"What are the dean's weaknesses?"

The nurse's tone was particularly resentful: "I'm just an ordinary nurse, how could I possibly know about such things?"

“That makes sense.” Natsuki Amamiya nodded and gagged the nurse again with the rope. “Thank you for your hard work. Now you can rest.”

"Woo——"

The interrogation is over.

Amamiya Natsuki left the underground storage room.

"Natsuki-kun, how is it?" Fujiwara Chika greeted her.

"We've obtained some information, but it's incomplete, and we can't determine its authenticity," said Natsuki Amamiya. "We need to find someone to continue verifying it."

Hayasaka Ai held up one finger and suggested:

"How is Senior Sister Yanzi's attending physician?"

"Great, that's her."

Just to be on the safe side, Natsuki Amamiya still travels with Chika Hayasaka, and the three-person tactical team is now virtually invincible.

"I'll go as well."

Upon hearing the news, Mizuhara Chizuru ran out of the kitchen, wanting to join Amamiya Natsuki and the other two.

“Chizuru-nee doesn’t need to go.” Fujiwara Chika put her right hand on her hip. “The three of us are enough.”

Hayasaka Ai nodded and said, "Miss Mizuhara, please go back to the kitchen. We'll take care of the task, so please don't worry."

Mizuhara Chizuru: "..."

It's supposed to be my task, but now I don't have to do anything; I just need to wait quietly.

Is this what makes large teams so powerful?

"gone."

After greeting the others, Natsuki Amamiya and Hayasaka Chika left the restaurant again and first went to find their senior's psychiatric attending physician.

"Where is my daughter?"

The female doctor became excited upon seeing Natsuki Amamiya.

"Please rest assured, your daughter is doing well."

Words alone are not enough. In order to gain the other party's trust, Natsuki Amamiya took out a voice recorder produced from a blind box and placed it on the table. Soon, a little girl's sweet, childlike voice came from it.

"Mom, I'm so happy. Dr. Sato is a good person."

Needless to say, the voice recorder contained the voice that Hayasaka Ai had pre-recorded.

Hayasaka is known as the all-around maid; there's nothing she can't do.

whoosh-

The female doctor snatched the recording pen and hugged it tightly to her chest.

Amamiya Natsuki didn't care; a voice recorder like that wasn't actually worth much. She tapped the table lightly with her finger and said:

"If you don't want your daughter to get hurt, please answer a few questions for me."

The female doctor carefully put away the recording pen, looked up, and resumed her cold expression, saying:

"go ahead."

Amamiya Natsuki quickly posed her first question: "Is the hospital director male or female?"

The female doctor reacted exactly like the nurse before her, exclaiming in shock:

"What do you want to do?"

“That’s none of your business,” Natsuki Amamiya said. “Please answer my question.”

The female doctor quickly calmed down and said coldly:

"The dean is a man."

"What about your age?"

"Probably in their forties or fifties."

"..."

The quiz game was getting faster and faster. Hayasaka Ai and Fujiwara Chika were in charge of recording the messages. They soon discovered that the nurse from before was quite cooperative and did not give any false information to mislead others.

"Please tell us the location of the Dean's office," Fujiwara Chika whispered. "And also, what's the Dean's weakness?"

"I don't know." The female doctor shook her head. "I've only seen the dean from afar, but he's terrifying."

Nonsense. The director of a large private hospital is definitely not an ordinary vengeful spirit. It's normal for him to be scary, but as long as he's not at the level of the Ice Queen, he's not that dangerous.

Faced with the official crackdown on organized crime, all evil forces are just paper tigers.

"Intelligence gathering complete." Hayasaka Ai adjusted her glasses. "It's time to see the director."

Chapter 450 The Abyss of Gambling

dong dong dong.

The rhythmic knocking began.

Amamiya Natsuki stood outside the door and waited quietly for a moment. Seeing that there was no response from inside the room, she raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Perhaps the dean went out?"

"Fujiwara Chika said in a low voice."

Hayasaka Ai pursed her pink lips: "The female doctor said that the dean never leaves his office."

Fujiwara Chika remarked:

"Everyone says that. The dean seems even more of a shut-in than a hardcore otaku."

According to the intelligence gathered earlier, the hospital director is quite mysterious and seems to never leave his office. All notices are issued from his office. Doctors can occasionally see the director, but the nurses don't even know what he looks like.

"In short, go in first, and then act according to the situation."

Natsuki Amamiya grasped the doorknob, gave it a gentle twist, and the door clicked open.

"It's not locked."

After exchanging a glance with the two girls, Natsuki Amamiya gently pushed the door open.
