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

Then came the club activity evaluation form, the activity funding application, the forest school project proposal... Luckily, Kaguya helped out, otherwise it would have been exhausting.

The morning ended in a flurry of activity.

Lunch break time has arrived in the blink of an eye.

Natsuki Amamiya went to the school cafeteria for lunch.

"Natsuki-senpai!"

Just as I sat down to get my food, a clear and familiar voice suddenly rang out behind me.

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and looked over. Before speaking, she was wearing a middle school uniform, had a chubby little face, and pink hair like Chika. She looked very energetic. She was Chika's younger sister, Fujiwara Moeha.

"Moeha?" Amamiya Natsuki asked curiously, "Why are you eating in the cafeteria?"

“My friend said she wanted to eat the eel-shaped cake from the cafeteria,” Fujiwara Moeha said in a clear, energetic voice, “so I came with her.”

Natsuki Amamiya looked at the little girl behind Moeha. The girl's expression was slightly dazed, and she had dark panda eyes, which made people take a second look.

Fujiwara Moeha blinked, tiptoed closer, and whispered:

"Isn't Xiaohua cute? Should we introduce her to the senior?"

“No need,” Natsuki Amamiya said, turning her gaze away. “Moeha is even cuter.”

"Hey~"

Upon hearing the praise, Fujiwara Moeha's face immediately lit up with a bright smile. She pulled her friend along and ran to get the food, saying, "Wait for me, senpai."

Natsuki Amamiya picked up her chopsticks and ate quietly.

Although I've decided to stop being human, I would never lay a hand on a middle school student, let alone Chika's younger sister, Zhu Zhu. She's a legal loli, already seventeen years old, so I could bully her however I wanted.

Similarly, there's Kaguya-sama, the mother of a young lady. This isn't a world where everyone's intelligence has dropped to zero; Kaguya would absolutely not tolerate or accept something like a mother and daughter sharing a meal.

"Senior, we're here."

Fujiwara Moeha sat opposite Amamiya Natsuki with her best friend.

"Senior, that fried chicken looks delicious." Fujiwara Moeha's eyes widened as she looked at him expectantly.

Natsuki Amamiya pushed her plate away speechlessly: "Help yourself."

"Hey, thanks, senpai." Fujiwara Moeha unceremoniously picked up two pieces of fried chicken, one for herself and one for her friend, then raised her chin and said, "Senpai, have a piece of eel."

Amamiya Natsuki shook her head: "I won't eat."

Fujiwara Moeha said in a serious tone:

"Reciprocity is the rule of the Fujiwara family."

I've had so many close encounters with your sister, and I've never heard of this family rule before!

Reluctantly, Natsuki Amamiya reached out and picked up a piece of eel.

"Senior, how does it taste?"

"good to eat."

"Hey hehe~"

Like Chika, this adorable leaf is a social butterfly with a warm and cheerful personality. She chatters away non-stop while eating.

“Xiaohua said she’s been having nightmares lately.” Fujiwara Moeha took a sip of her cola and started gossiping. “Every night a woman appears in her dream. She can’t see what she looks like. At first, she was outside her house, and then she got closer every day. Now she’s at Xiaohua’s bedroom door. There are other people in the classroom too. They say it’s exactly the same as Xiaohua’s dream. Some people even saw the woman’s face. It sounds so real.”

The elementary school girl looked up, her eyes dark with panda eyes, her tone terrified, and her expression aggrieved.

"I really wasn't lying..."

Chapter 535 The Three-Second True Man and the Formal Confession

"I really wasn't lying..."

Xiaohua bit her lip, looking aggrieved.

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze lingering on the middle school girl's dark circles for a few seconds.

He was very familiar with those dark circles under his eyes.

That's how it was yesterday, Zi.

The other players were in a similar situation.

Generally speaking, elementary and middle school girls are at a carefree age. The lunch they bought was so lavish, their families are obviously well-off, and they shouldn't have such severe dark circles under their eyes…

"Did I really have a strange nightmare?"

Natsuki Amamiya silently began to ponder.

"Could it be a player?"

Just then, an evil spirit wandered past the window, and Natsuki Amamiya silently activated the Evil Spirit Repelling skill to drive it away.

Transparent flames burned fiercely outside the window, while Mengye's friend continued to eat listlessly, her face expressionless.

"Confirmed... not a player."

Amamiya Natsuki looked away and continued eating.

Lunch is over.

"Senior, Hana and I are leaving now." Fujiwara Moeha waved goodbye.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"Mengye, I'm very interested in the dream you just talked about. If there's anything else, feel free to tell me."

Fujiwara Moeha naturally didn't refuse and happily agreed: "Okay, senpai."

"..."

School ended in the blink of an eye.

After finishing the student council's daily affairs and waiting for Kashiwagi to leave, Amamiya Natsuki closed the door and looked at the girls in the student council.

Kaguya and Chika are there, needless to say, and Senpai and Ume are also there. Even Zhu Zhu came all the way from the neighboring school.

"The coin is fully charged. Do you need someone to draw cards for you?" Amamiya Natsuki interlaced her fingers and rested her chin on them.

To be fair, the time-stop skill is quite useful, especially when you're having a run of bad luck.

That extra second of buffer time often turns danger into safety.

Yesterday, Natsuki Amamiya kept flipping coins, successfully maxing out her luck stat.

"I want to draw cards." Kitagawa Kaimu was the first to take out her phone. "I want all the limited characters and weapons. This time I'm going to get them all to max stars."

"Junior, I want one too." Zi Yanyan took out her phone, which displayed the game "Horse Girls".

Natsuki Amamiya looked at her phone and said:

"I suddenly had an idea: combine Uma Musume Girls with a gourmet anime, featuring dishes that glow and, when eaten, temporarily boost the Uma Musume's stats..."

Senior Sister Yanzi rolled her eyes at her, annoyed, and couldn't help but complain:

"How about we rename that dish you're talking about 'stimulant'?"

"Senior, you know too much."

"..."

Zhu Zhu walked over and put her phone on the desk: "Hurry up, hurry up, there are several games that require gacha pulls."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Zhu Zhu and sighed, "Play fewer games and drink more milk."

Zhu Zhu was so angry she wanted to bite someone: "You idiot Xia Shu, what did you mean by that sighing gesture?"

"I didn't, you're mistaken."

"That's a lie, it's clearly true."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the silent quail-like girl beside her and asked:

"Where's Komi-kun? Do you need me to draw for you?"

Komi quickly shook her head, raised her notebook, and held it in front of her chest: "I don't play mobile games."

hum.

Natsuki Amamiya flicked a coin with her finger, activating Lady Luck's favor, followed by the card-drawing time.

With a simple tap on a phone, Amamiya Natsuki could pull at least five gold cards in a ten-pull without even needing to check the results.

After helping with the card draws, it's time for the daily blind box event.

Unfortunately, despite Lady Luck's favor, no skill was unlocked; instead, only an accessory item that could additionally increase the player's base attributes was obtained.

Finally, the main event.

Amamiya Natsuki took out the enhancement item, Mermaid Princess's Tear. Although it was called a teardrop, it had clearly solidified into a crystal-clear crystal. When placed in the sunlight, it would faintly shimmer with seven colors.

[Please select the skill you wish to enhance?]

Amamiya Natsuki silently recited in her mind, "Enhance Time Stop."

[This skill level is very high, and the chance of failure in enhancing it is relatively large. Should we enhance it?]

"Enhancement confirmed."

A one-second pause is far too short; we must try to increase the time.

Besides, we're currently blessed with good fortune, so now's the perfect time to take a gamble.

[Upgrading, please wait...]

The crystal teardrop transformed into a streak of seven-colored light and flew into the space between Amamiya Natsuki's eyebrows.

Kaguya and the others stopped chatting and waited for the enhancement results.

After a while.

Natsuki Amamiya opened her eyes, and a game notification appeared before her.

[Strengthening success]

The enhancement item you used is the Little Mermaid's Last Tear. This item has special properties... You will receive double the bonus for this enhancement.
