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

"Woo..."

The scenery flashed by in an instant, and Kitagawa Kaimu quickly put her hands behind her back to cover her skirt, her pretty face flushed red, and she turned her head to look at her shyly.

Amamiya Natsuki put away her phone and said seriously:

"I didn't see anything."

Kitagawa Kaimu puffed out her cheeks: "Liars will swallow a thousand needles."

“Okay, I saw it.” Amamiya Natsuki walked up to the succubus girl and whispered, “Why aren’t you wearing underwear?”

"Why did you say?"

Kitagawa Kaimu's gaze was resentful as she bit her lip.

If your clothes get wet, it's extremely uncomfortable to wear, so of course you have to take them off.

"It's my fault." Natsuki Amamiya said sincerely, admitting her mistake in a low voice, "Don't you girls usually carry a change of underwear in your backpacks?"

Kitagawa Kaimu said in a wronged tone, "That's something I only prepared when I was in school. I just came here to play today, so I didn't prepare anything like that."

“It’s still forty kilometers from the airport to Sapporo… that’s too dangerous.” Natsuki Amamiya hesitated for two seconds, then whispered, “Do you need a band-aid?”

"what?"

Kitagawa Kaimu's eyes widened in disbelief.

Band-Aid?

What's the use of that thing?

Could it be that...

The succubus girl's pretty face flushed red, like a ripe apple. Even a hot girl like her couldn't accept such excessive play, and she cried out in embarrassment:

"I would never use that kind of thing!"

Shayou, who was walking ahead, noticed that the two had fallen far behind and turned around in confusion, asking:

"Hai Meng-chan, what's wrong with you guys?"

"No, it's okay."

Kitagawa Kaimu quickly shook his head.

Family scandals should not be aired in public. Such shameful things should not be talked about, as one should also have a sense of pride.

“You’ve misunderstood,” Natsuki Amamiya said in a low voice. “I mean, you can use a band-aid to stick the skirt to your thigh to avoid exposing yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Kaimu hesitated: "Wouldn't it be very uncomfortable to walk like that?"

"It's better than flashing," Natsuki Amamiya said. "If that's not possible, I have some boxer shorts in my game inventory, do you want them?"

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Kitagawa Kaimu still chose the band-aid.

There was no other way; the bus was about to leave, and it was too late to go to the restroom.

Using a band-aid to secure her skirt, Kitagawa Kaimu carefully boarded the bus and sat down next to Amamiya Natsuki.

Natsuki Amamiya's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the succubus girl's legs. He noticed two 'straps' protruding between her stockings and skirt, which, upon closer inspection, turned out to be two band-aids.

“I’m not scared anymore.” Kitagawa Haimu cautiously covered her skirt and leaned towards the window. “Don’t even think about such things.”

Amamiya Natsuki unscrewed a bottle of beverage and handed it to Haimeng: "Have a sip of water first, to replenish your fluids."

Kitagawa Kaimu was indeed a little thirsty, so he took the drink and sipped it.

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"On the way back, take another flight and try to cure your phobia."

Kitagawa Kaimu's eyes were filled with resentment: "...I don't want to!"

"..."

Forty kilometers isn't far. Natsuki Amamiya and Haimu were talking in hushed tones when they arrived in Sapporo.

After getting off the train, there was a convenience store inside the station. Kitagawa Kaimu went into the store and bought disposable underwear that didn't need to be washed and could be worn directly. She changed her clothes in the convenience store's restroom and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, follow me." Shayou's voice was clear and crisp as she returned to her base camp, clearly pleased. "It's a restaurant I frequent; the food is amazing."

Walking along the street, looking at the throngs of pedestrians, Kitagawa Kaimu sighed:

"What a pity, it didn't snow."

Sapporo is a tourist city famous for its snow. Because it is located in the north, it is covered in snow for half the year and holds various snow festivals every year. Unfortunately, it is June now, just entering the hot summer, so of course it is impossible for it to snow.

Under the scorching sun, pedestrians hurried along the road. Apart from the lack of skyscrapers, it looked not much different from Tokyo.

Amamiya Natsuki grasped the succubus girl's right hand and said:

"We'll come back for another visit in winter."

"Winter..."

Kitagawa Kaimu gently pursed her pink lips and remained silent.

After becoming a player, no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first. In the mutual aid group, many people's avatars went dark and never appeared again... Kitagawa Kaimu suddenly became concerned about whether she would be able to see the first snow of winter.

With a light breath, Kitagawa Kaimu tilted her pretty face up and revealed a bright smile: "It's a promise, Natsuki will come with me to Sapporo to see the snow this winter."

“No problem.” Natsuki Amamiya agreed. “Speaking of which, we went to Kagoshima, the southernmost point of Kyushu, and today we came to Sapporo in Hokkaido. One is the southernmost and the other is the northernmost. Does that count as having visited the entire Japanese island?”

"Well……"

Upon hearing Amamiya Natsuki's words, the succubus girl realized that she had already reached both the north and south ends of Sun Island. A warm feeling welled up inside her. She glanced at the others discreetly, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she couldn't resist tiptoeing and giving Amamiya Natsuki a kiss on the cheek, her voice sweet and charming:

"Of course not. There are still so many places we haven't been to yet, and Natsuki wants to take me to all of them."

"..."

Lunch needs no further explanation.

After the meal, the group, led by Shayou, prepared to get down to business.

"I don't have much Yuko-chan stuff at home," Sayu said softly. "Shall we just go to Yuko-chan's place?"

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and said:

Are you sure there are no problems?

Shayou shook her head: "It's alright."

Amamiya Natsuki said, "Then let's go."

Sayu originally lived in Sapporo, Hokkaido; otherwise, she wouldn't have become the God of War of Hokkaido. Of course, in this timeline, it's impossible for her to become the God of War of Hokkaido; she would only be a good daughter who cares for her father.

Therefore, saving a lot of time in finding their way, the group quickly arrived at the door of an ordinary detached house under Sha You's guidance.

Taking a deep breath, Shayou stepped forward and pressed the doorbell.

The door opened quickly, and a haggard-looking woman with dull eyes stood behind it. Upon seeing Shayou, she paused slightly, then said:

"...Shayou?"

"Aunt Aiko, I'm sorry to bother you." Sayu bowed apologetically, "I'd like to go to Yuko's room."

Shayou turned around and introduced:

"They are very famous psychics, and I want to see Yuko-chan again."

The married woman looked surprised: "A psychic?"

Ms. Nakajima, being the oldest and a mature woman, naturally had the right to speak. She stepped forward and smiled:

"I am a professional psychic. Nice to meet you. Please guide me."

The married woman was naturally skeptical and wouldn't believe everything she was told, but since the group consisted of 'spiritualists' brought by Sayu, and Sayu was a close friend of Yuko, it was impossible for her to drive them away.

So after hesitating for a moment, the married woman opened the door and whispered:

"Come in."

Chapter 525 Shayou's True Redemption

On the way here, the group discussed what identity they should use to obtain Yuko's belongings. Haimeng suggested infiltrating secretly and becoming an undercover investigator, but in the end, they chose Sayu's suggestion—

Compared to herself, Yuko's mother is the most suffering person in the world. She used psychic magic to bring Yuko back, and Yuko must also want to see her mother. She can't be too selfish.

Finally, with Natsuki Amamiya's approval, everyone chose to reveal their identities as 'spirit mediums' and pay a visit directly. After all, Onmyoji, exorcists, and the like are all traditions of Hinoshita Island, and spirit mediums are considered a 'hereditary profession,' so it wouldn't attract too much attention.

"Please have a seat." The married woman, not forgetting the etiquette of hospitality, forced a smile and said, "I'll go make you some tea."

"Aunt Aiko, there's no need to trouble yourself," Sayu said, shaking her head. "Shall we go straight to Yuko's room?"

"……it is good."

The married woman nodded silently, led the group upstairs, and pushed open the door to a room.

The room was spotless, clearly cleaned daily.

Upon entering, both Sayu and the married woman's eyes welled up with tears.

"please."

Shayu took a deep breath, turned around and bowed to Amamiya Natsuki and the other two.

"Leave it to us." Kitagawa Kaimu clenched her fist and agreed.

Natsuki Amamiya didn't speak. She walked to the desk, picked up a photo frame, and saw a girl with glasses and braids smiling brightly. It was none other than Yuuko the Human-faced Dog.

Unsure of the success rate of the summoning technique, Natsuki Amamiya copied and pasted the summoning technique from Ms. Nakajima on the way here to improve efficiency.

Besides Miss Nakajima, he and Haimeng can also use psychic abilities.

The three of them each found one of Yuuko's belongings from her lifetime, and then simultaneously used their summoning abilities. They expected it to take many attempts, but to their surprise, Kitagawa Kaimu quickly exclaimed softly:

"I succeeded."

The succubus girl chose the pillow on the bed as her object of life. The group looked over and saw a layer of hazy black mist appear on the pillow. Then, a faint light flashed, and a transparent girl with a blank expression appeared in the room.

"The fruit..."

Shayou's pink lips trembled. After many days, she finally saw her good friend again. She couldn't control her emotions. The mist in her eyes turned into tears and rolled down her cheeks.
