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

Page 627

The useless fat deposits are already pressing on my arms, which is really annoying.

"Rokka-chan!"

"Yukino-chan!"

Fujiwara Chika greeted everyone.

Rikka and Yukinoshita both knew about the leg accessory, so they weren't surprised.

Only Sayu looked surprised, unable to understand how a living person could suddenly appear on the bus.

"Saya-chan." Fujiwara Chika put her hands on her hips, turned to look at Saya, and said seriously, "Although I don't know what happened to you, you should never give up on yourself."

Shayou blinked, and finally spoke softly:

"Excuse me... who are you?"

Natsuki Amamiya explained, "He's my spirit."

"It's not a ghost, I'm a player too."

"..."

After briefly explaining Qianhua's identity, everyone sat down and began discussing the current situation.

“The fog is abnormal.” Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her pink lips, her voice cold. “That human-faced dog must have appeared because of the fog.”

Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms and whispered, "Why would the human-faced dog know Sayu?"

"Why is it that only Shayou is its target when there are so many of us?"

“I don’t know…” Shayou shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, “The head of the human-faced dog was my best friend Yuko… Yuko committed suicide, it’s all my fault…”

Fujiwara Chika comforted her:

"This is a dungeon. That human-faced dog is definitely not your friend. Don't be fooled by her."

Rikka was more concerned about something else: "I wonder how those players who went into the tunnel are doing now..."

boom!

A dull thud suddenly rang out.

Amamiya Natsuki quickly looked over and saw a bloody handprint on the bus window.

Rikka was startled and quickly covered her mouth.

Bang bang bang.

The banging sounds continued incessantly, moving straight toward the bus door, as if something was trying to break into the bus.

"There's something outside," Yukino Yukinoshita said in a low, wary voice.

"Quick, open the door!"

An anxious shout came from the door.

Kaguya Shinomiya whispered, "It seems to be one of the previous players."

The fog grew thicker, and all Kaguya and Yuki could see outside the car window was a vast expanse of white fog.

Amamiya Natsuki squinted and looked outside. The effects of the potion were still in effect, and her vision could barely penetrate the fog. She could see four players approaching from outside the car.

"You're definitely a player, but we still need to verify your identity." Amamiya Natsuki stepped to the door and called out, "Here's a question: Who is the champion team of this World Cup?"

Shayou: "..."

I just asked myself the same question. That's so dismissive!

"Argentina."

What trophy did you receive?

The World Cup Trophy!

"..."

After her identity was verified, Natsuki Amamiya opened the door.

Several random players rushed forward, and a woman with a face covered in blood cried out in terror:

"Close the door quickly, there's a monster in the fog."

Without her saying anything, Natsuki Amamiya had already closed the door.

"Why didn't you open the door sooner?!"

A man with a fierce expression stepped forward and tried to grab Natsuki Amamiya by the collar.

Boom!

A dull thud drew everyone's attention.

Several players who had just boarded the vehicle all looked at Natsuki Amamiya, then their gazes shifted downwards and landed on the blood-stained fire axe at Natsuki Amamiya's feet.

Amamiya Natsuki raised her axe, looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, and calmly said:

"Any more questions?"

The middle-aged man's eye muscles twitched slightly, and he immediately bowed ninety degrees: "...I'm so sorry!"

really.

An axe is the best tool for reasoning; using it to chop down trees is a waste of its potential.

"I have a few questions," Natsuki Amamiya asked, gripping her axe in one hand. "Why did you come back? What's inside the tunnel?"

Under the influence of the axe, the players cooperated quite obediently.

"We've entered the tunnel." A girl gasped for breath and said with a wry smile, "The tunnel didn't collapse, but there was fog inside. We walked along the tunnel, and for some reason, we came out of the entrance again."

Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms and said softly, "Your guess that you would clear the game directly has failed."

Yukino asked:

"What about the rest?"

The girl pushed up her glasses: "The tunnel only has one straight path, it won't go around you, obviously the game is preventing everyone from skipping class to complete the level... After realizing this, everyone had no choice but to go down the mountain together."

At this point, the female player's face showed a look of horror: "Then we encountered monsters in the fog, and everyone ran away and got scattered."

Amamiya Natsuki inquired:

"Tell me about the monsters you encountered."

The players were quite cooperative and honestly recounted their encounters. There were many kinds of monsters, such as a woman with only an upper body but an amazing ability to crawl, a giant centipede, and human head balloons floating in the sky.

"Didn't you encounter any human-faced dogs?" Fujiwara Chika asked curiously.

Several random players shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't encountered it.

At this moment, a player with a grim expression spoke up:

“I think I know what those monsters in the fog are all about… I encountered a train in the fog before, Thomas the Tank Engine, but a horror version.”

Yukino Yukino frowned slightly and said, "There shouldn't be a train on this kind of mountain road."

"But I did encounter it," the player on the road said with a wry smile.

"Yes."

"We saw it too, it's the Thomas the Tank Engine from the cartoon."

"There were no railway tracks on the ground at all, so God knows how that little train was able to run through the forest."

Natsuki Amamiya glanced at the wryly smiling passerby player, a thought flickering in her mind, and said:

"What does Thomas the Tank Engine have to do with you?"

“There should be…” The random player sighed and said, “When I was little, my parents were very busy with work, and I was often locked up at home alone. One summer vacation when I was in elementary school, I was watching TV alone at home. It was Thomas the Tank Engine that was playing. Later, I accidentally fell asleep and dreamed about Thomas the Tank Engine, but the train in my dream was quite creepy.”

Fujiwara Chika agreed:

"Thomas the Tank Engine can be quite frightening."

The casual player took a deep breath and continued:

"So many years have passed, but I still remember the nightmare from my childhood very clearly... That Thomas the Tank Engine was exactly the same as the terrifying train in my dream."

"Does everyone still remember those rules on the stone tablet?"

"The second rule is not to think about what you fear..."

Yukino Yukinoshita twitched her brows slightly and said:

"You mean, those monsters in the fog are actually the players' deepest fears?"

“That sounds very likely.” Takanashi Rikka put her right hand on her hip. “No wonder the human-faced dog knows Sayu-chan. It’s because it’s Sayu-chan’s deepest fear. That makes sense.”

"The deepest fear in one's heart..."

Amamiya Natsuki silently turned her head and looked at the silly young lady.

The usually calm and collected young lady was now biting her lower lip tightly, her face pale.

Clearly, Kaguya Shinomiya, through the narration of the casual players, has recalled the existence that terrifies her most deepest fear.

Fujiwara Chika blinked and whispered:

"Could the thing Kaguya-chan fears most be...?"

Kaguya Shinomiya bit her pink lips: "I'm not afraid of that copy!"

Amamiya Natsuki and Chika exchanged a glance and simultaneously arrived at the answer.

Really hammered.

The existence that this silly young lady fears most is indeed the yandere Kaguya in the mirror space.

"Kaguya-chan, calm down!" Fujiwara Chika quickly said. "Don't think about her!"

Kaguya Shinomiya: "...I'm not a robot, how can I stop whenever I want!"
