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

Hayasaka Ai warily distanced herself: "I'm sorry, but the perverted ways you're doing are too weird. I can't accept it."

But that grape from earlier... definitely tasted better.

With her right hand pressed against her chest, listening to her rapid heartbeat, Hayasaka Ai extended her pink tongue and gently licked her lips.

Although it's dangerous, it's also incredibly addictive.

So... I'm sorry, Miss, I will definitely keep it from you.

dinner time.

"what about the taste?"

Kaguya Shinomiya looked over expectantly.

After finishing a piece of tomato beef brisket, Amamiya Natsuki gave a thumbs up: "It's a little salty, but for a beginner, the taste is quite good."

"I didn't get the amount right the first time." Kaguya Shinomiya's lips curled up slightly. "I won't do it again next time."

I'm sure I have a real talent for cooking!

Come on!

Not only do we need to win the president's heart, but we also need to win his stomach!

"Why...why did it turn out like this?"

A voice drifted over from the side.

Mrs. Kaguya said with a hint of resentment, "Little Kaguya's first time cooking and her first time running away from home—two joys overlapping, it should have been a dreamlike and happy time, so why did she forget her mother?"

Kaguya Shinomiya looked over silently: "Who forgot you?"

"Kaguya didn't call her mother for dinner."

"You're a ghost now, so you can't taste anything when you eat."

"It's a guardian spirit."

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya, oblivious to everything around her, continued eating when she suddenly felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

I took out my phone and saw that it was a message from Chika Fujiwara.

"Natsuki, I've thought of a way that might allow me to earn game currency."

Amamiya Natsuki became interested: "What method?"

Fujiwara Chika: "It's a theater. When I stayed at your house last week, we were having breakfast and we were discussing how to put on a grand performance in a theater, weren't we?"

Amamiya Natsuki quickly realized: "You mean love hotels?"

"That's it, that's it!"

Fujiwara Chika sent a smug emoji with her hands on her hips:

"Guests at love hotels try to avoid meeting other people. Even if you're pulled into the hotel, you just treat it as a dream and won't cause too much trouble... Want to try it tonight?"

"Trying it is fine, but I've never been to a love hotel before."

"Don't worry, I'll go with you!"

Secretary Qianhua is never stage-frightened.

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki put down her phone, looked up and said, "I won't be sleeping at home tonight, I'm going out."

"Huh?" Kaguya Shinomiya looked up at her. "What's wrong?"

Natsuki Amamiya briefly explained the situation: "That's how it is. Let's test the theater's effects. If we can earn more game coins, that would be the best outcome."

“It’s definitely worth a visit,” Kaguya Shinomiya nodded in agreement. “But what is a love hotel? Is it different from a hot spring hotel?”

“I’ve never been there, so I don’t know.” Amamiya Natsuki turned to Hayasaka. “Ask Hanamori.”

“How would I know?” Hayasaka Ai denied decisively. “I’ve never been there, and I don’t know the difference.”

"Something's strange..."

Kaguya Shinomiya blinked in confusion.

Unfortunately, this area had already touched on her blind spot; she had never been exposed to love hotels before, and had never even heard of them.

"Do you want us to come with you?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked.

"No need." Natsuki Amamiya coughed lightly. "I've already told Chika. She's very familiar with the place and will come with me."

"Alright then." Kaguya Shinomiya picked up her bowl and chopsticks. "Let's continue eating."

Hayasaka Ai parted her pink lips, silently swallowing the words that welled up in her mouth.

The young lady's knowledge base is indeed too small; she still needs to continue learning.

After dinner, Amamiya Natsuki was in charge of washing the dishes today.

By the time everything was packed up, it was already past 8 p.m.

"I am leaving."

Natsuki Amamiya changed out of her school uniform, put on some clothes, and looked at Kaguya and Hayasaka. "Chika has already left. I'll go meet her there."

Kaguya Shinomiya escorted the person to the entrance: "Be careful."

After Amamiya Natsuki left, the silly young lady took the vacuum cleaner and happily started doing housework.

Mrs. Kaguya stood by, smiling and saying nothing, enjoying the drama.

Only Hayasaka's expression was subtle.

As the mistress of the house, she thoughtfully sent the master of the house away, letting him go to a love hotel with another girl, and even told the other girl to be careful... When the young lady finds out what a love hotel is, she'll probably explode, right?

It'll definitely explode with a bang, just like a pufferfish, right?

Chapter 481 The Female Police Officer and the Interrogation Time

"Natsuki-kun, over here, over here."

On a street adorned with neon lights, a pink-haired girl tiptoes and waves from behind a lamppost.

Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward and said seriously:

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Chika, the national idol who sneaks out?"

Fujiwara Chika put her hands on her hips and raised her chin triumphantly: "That's right, it's me."

To agree without hesitation shows a level of composure that far surpasses that of Komi-kun!

This Chika wasn't wearing a school uniform; instead, she was wearing denim overalls, her long hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and she wore a black baseball cap and black-rimmed glasses. Only the extremely black bow on her forehead revealed her identity.

"Last time I came here with my cousin to gather material, I disguised myself." Fujiwara Chika pulled her baseball cap down to cover half of her face and whispered, "After all, it's a love hotel, and it would be terrible if someone we know saw us."

Amamiya Natsuki feigned surprise: "I thought Lady Chika was fearless, but I didn't expect she had things she was afraid of."

"Those that aren't afraid of anything are robots, right?" Fujiwara Chika raised her chin. "Let's hurry up and go."

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted, landing on the neon-lit hotel sign not far away. The Love Hotel sign stood out prominently. She whispered:

"Is this the one?"

Fujiwara Chika nodded and said:

"My cousin and I came to this love hotel last time. It's huge, so there must be a lot of guests... Let's hurry in while there's no one at the entrance."

Natsuki Amamiya followed Chika into the love hotel.

Upon entering, the light suddenly dimmed, giving a hazy and soft feeling.

As is well known, the island used to be a large family-run community, but the houses were all made of wood and had poor sound insulation. If someone sneezed, everyone in the house could hear it, and no exercise could be done.

It wasn't until the Edo period that a man who ran a teahouse had a sudden inspiration to renovate the rooms for young couples to rest in, and he quickly made a fortune, which attracted a lot of people to follow suit. From then on, proper teahouses disappeared and were transformed into the love hotels we see today.

"The love hotel doesn't have a front desk. Everyone chooses their own themed room on a machine and pays there." Fujiwara Chika pointed to a machine near the entrance and whispered, "That's it."

Compared to the standardized format of regular hotels, love hotels are characterized by their various themed rooms.

Natsuki Amamiya walked up to the machine and found that there were a huge variety of themes, roughly counting at least sixty or seventy.

Tram-themed, prison-themed, school-themed, infirmary-themed, pirate ship, construction site, boxing ring... there's something for everyone, a dazzling array.

There are even some brand-new gameplay themes that Natsuki Amamiya has never heard of before, such as a forest theme, which might involve orcs and a fallen elf princess.

Unfortunately, most of the themed rooms were already occupied, so there weren't many rooms available.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Chika and asked:

What themed room would you like to stay in?

"Hmm..." Fujiwara Chika blinked, "How about a prison theme?"

Goodness, you chose prison right off the bat. I didn't know you had such a heavy taste!

“I see places like trams and classrooms every day, they’re kind of boring,” Fujiwara Chika said softly. “I’ve never even seen what a prison looks like.”

This Qianhua secretary has an incredibly strong sense of curiosity, while her sense of shame comes second.

“Since we’re already here…” Natsuki Amamiya nodded and said, “Let’s go with a prison theme, which happens to be something I’m also very interested in.”

"The bill is on me."

Fujiwara Chika took out her wallet and began to pay.

The entire process is self-service; you don't need to interact with anyone.

As Fujiwara Chika took out a Fukuzawa Yukichi card, Amamiya Natsuki's feelings were quite complicated.

It was my first time going to a love hotel with a girl, and I actually made her pay the bill. Luckily, no one saw it, or I would definitely have been considered a gold digger.

pat.

A room key fell out.

Fujiwara Chika reached for the room key and whispered, "Let's go to the room."

"Ah."
