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

Unfortunately, no new invitations arrived until the school bell rang.

"Natsuki-kun, we don't have the dungeon invitation, but there's a new item that should be useful." Fujiwara Chika ran over and held her phone up to Amamiya Natsuki.

The chat log describes a store item lock card. As the name suggests, after use, it can lock a certain store item for a period of time, preventing it from disappearing when refreshed.

The prop owner is also an acquaintance.

“Apollo…”

Looking at the name, Natsuki Amamiya quickly pictured a silver-haired loli in her mind; her elementary school-aged figure was quite striking.

Kaguya's bunny girl uniform card was obtained through a trade with the silver-haired loli.

“Make a deal with her.” Natsuki Amamiya made her choice quickly without hesitation.

Fujiwara Chika nodded and said:

“Aharen-chan is in Tokyo. I’ll send her a message and ask her to come to the school. It won’t take long.”

"Junior, leave today's student council matters to me," Koyasu Tsubame said softly. "You, Chika, and Kaguya, be careful."

The dungeon invitation must be written by the user, so if you want to join the dungeon, you have to go see Rikka Takanashi.

Kitagawa Kaimu was unhappy: "If only there were one more dungeon invitation, it would be great. It's dangerous with just the three of you."

Amamiya Natsuki said, "We must have faith in the strength of our iron triangle combination."

Because they needed to run a dungeon, Zhu Zhu and Gu Jian came together from the neighboring school after school.

"Be careful..." When no one was around Amamiya Natsuki, Zhu Zhu came over and whispered, "You must come back safely."

Amamiya Natsuki said gently:

"Wait for me to come back so we can go eat the ramen we didn't finish?"

"Who said I didn't finish eating..." Zhu Zhu quickly realized her mistake halfway through her sentence, her face turning bright red with embarrassment and anger. "Is that all that stuff in a boy's head?"

"Congratulations, you got it."

"Pooh!"

Zhu Zhu spat lightly, her eyes filled with disdain, and turned to leave.

Not long after, Lord Zhu sent a message on his mobile phone.

"...Come back and we'll eat ramen together."

After Zhu Zhu left, Komi hesitantly walked over, sat upright on the sofa, and then blushed as she stretched out her right hand, waiting for Amamiya Natsuki to copy her skill.

Amamiya Natsuki sighed, "We're going into the dungeon tonight, and Komi-kun still owes me five lap pillows..."

"It was twice..." The quail girl blushed and stammered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I've already used it once before."

"That's good." Amamiya Natsuki smiled slightly. "I'll exchange it for a lap pillow now."

"No, no!"

Komi immediately shook her head repeatedly.

It's fine if there are only two people, but everyone is in the student council, so lap pillows are not allowed.

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"How about you hug me like you did last time we went into the dungeon?"

"..."

Komi hesitated for two seconds, then shook her head.

With so many people, it's impossible to hug.

"This won't work, that won't work either." Natsuki Amamiya sighed. "Shoko really doesn't care about me, does she?"

Komi-kun's pink lips parted, and she became anxious: "N-no, that's not it..."

Taking advantage of the situation, Amamiya Natsuki pressed her advantage: "Then give me five more lap pillow coupons."

Komi-kun: "..."

Just before they were about to set off, Hayasaka Ai, dressed in a sailor uniform and disguised as Hanamori, finally appeared.

"Kaguya-chan, here, take this gun."

Hayasaka Ai handed over the magic gun directly. This thing wasn't bound to any equipment; any female player could use it, but it needed to be charged.

"Thank you." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly in gratitude.

Kaguya Shinomiya certainly had a grasp of basic shooting skills.

"We're all partners, your safe return is the most important thing."

Hayasaka Ai's gaze shifted, then she looked at Amamiya Natsuki, extending her right hand and saying:

"Senior, please copy my skills."

"Huh?" Kitagawa Kaimu exclaimed in surprise, "When did Hanamori-chan learn this skill?"

"I had great luck opening blind boxes today and got a skill, but I haven't had a chance to tell everyone yet." As Hayasaka Ai spoke, she made a peace sign, showing absolutely no sign of guilt for lying.

"Senior." Hayasaka Ai secretly tightened her grip on Amamiya Natsuki's hand and said in a low voice, "Take good care of the young lady, or I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."

Don't underestimate her. Kaguya never lets you down in dungeons; she's much better than you!

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and said:

"You didn't secretly collect dungeon invitations this time?"

“Of course I collect them.” Hayasaka Ai said unhappily, “What can I do without them?”

"Senpai~" Hayasaka Ai tiptoed again and whispered in his ear, "When you come back safely, I can grant you one wish, even something a little naughty."

"Oh, woman."

They might say they'll do anything, but when it really matters, they'll do everything they can to desert their post!

all in all.

After everything was prepared, Natsuki Amamiya and Chika Kaguya set off together for Chiba Prefecture, where Rikka lived.

Chapter 485 Kaguya-sama's Confession Ceremony

"Let's go, to Chiba Prefecture!"

Fujiwara Chika took the lead and walked ahead.

The invitation to the instance requires both parties to write their names, so we need to meet Rikka in Chiba Prefecture.

“Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture are very close, only an hour's drive apart.” Natsuki Amamiya turned to look at the young lady, “Has Kaguya-san ever been to Chiba?”

Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips and said softly, "I haven't been there."

"Kaguya-chan used to dislike traveling and going out. She would just go straight home after school," Fujiwara Chika said curiously from the side. "Except for that time when she went to the beach, she probably never left Tokyo, right?"

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya wanted to refute it, but unfortunately, she couldn't find a way to deny it.

She used to have no interest in traveling or going on trips, and she never participated in any clubs. Every day after school, she would take a private car home, where all sorts of teachers would come to teach her—tea ceremony, chess, illustration… In short, her childhood memories are exceptionally pale.

"Some things shouldn't be said carelessly." Kaguya Shinomiya tilted her head and looked over with a smile.

Fujiwara Chika quickly complained, "Aya-neechan, Kaguya-chan was mean to me."

Mrs. Kaguya stood up for justice: "Little Kaguya, it's wrong to bully others, and it's even more wrong to bully the strong when you're small."

"We didn't even touch them, so how is this bullying?" The silly young lady crossed her arms, looking unhappy. "And what does it mean to bully the strong when you're the weak?"

"Fujiwara's birthday is actually a month older than mine."

Amamiya Natsuki moved down a dozen centimeters and landed on the chest of the silly young lady.

It was a flat plain, like the Guanzhong Plain. The black school uniform made them look slimmer, and at a glance, there were almost no undulations.

Poor chest is extremely evil.

It's a certainty.

Open-minded and magnanimous.

Looking at Secretary Qianhua again, it's like a mountain range viewed from different angles, each view revealing a different perspective.

"It is indeed bullying the strong by the weak..."

Girls are always very sensitive to boys' gazes. Noticing Natsuki Amamiya's gaze, the silly young lady quickly covered her chest, biting her lower lip in embarrassment:

"Chairman, commit seppuku!"

Amamiya Natsuki withdrew her gaze and looked at Mrs. Kaguya, mimicking her: "Ms. Kaguya, Kaguya bullied me."

Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."

You're always complaining to your parents, how can you be so shameless!

We chatted all the way, almost losing track of time, and before we knew it, we had arrived in Chiba Prefecture. It was only six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was not yet completely dark. The fiery clouds on the horizon were exceptionally beautiful.

As Amamiya Natsuki stepped off the tram, she looked up and saw a girl with a cowlick on her head and an eye patch craning her neck at the exit.

It was Rikka, the girl with the ahoge (cowlick).

"Rokka-chan!"

"I can't believe it!" Fujiwara Chika exclaimed happily.

It's naturally a joy to see friends again.

After chatting for a while, Rikka led the three away from the station, ready to show them hospitality: "I know a restaurant that has amazing food that can replenish a lot of magic power."

Fujiwara Chika: "I want to eat it!"

Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya lagged behind by two steps, observing their surroundings as they walked.

"Feels...similar to Tokyo?"
