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

"good afternoon."

Amamiya Natsuki looked up at the group of middle school students.

Besides Moeha, there's also Moeha's best friend Hana, and Hinata, who had previously fallen into a coma.

Seeing Natsuki Amamiya looking over, Hinata blushed slightly and whispered:

"I had a check-up at the hospital yesterday, and there was nothing wrong with my health except that I didn't get enough rest, so I was discharged and went home... My mom originally wanted me to rest at home for a few more days, but it's so boring to be alone, so I'd rather be at school."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"You didn't have any nightmares last night, did you?"

"No, not at all." Fujiwara Moeha raised her chin and said in a clear voice, "I asked the others this morning, wanting my sister to help them exorcise evil spirits, but none of them had nightmares. It's so strange."

"Uh-huh."

Mengye's best friend nodded in agreement.

After two days of rest and no longer being troubled by nightmares, the junior high school girl's spirits improved significantly, and her complexion improved at a visible speed.

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said, "That's good."

Eliminating the bizarre phenomenon that invaded reality is tantamount to cutting off the nightmare curse at its source, which is undoubtedly great news.

Conversely, if solving the eerie situation still fails to stop the spread of the nightmare curse, then things will be terrible—the middle school students in front of us are manageable, but those passersby playing escape room games will be a different story.

The three little girls chatted and laughed as they ate, quickly regaining their usual cheerful and lively demeanor.

Amamiya Natsuki would occasionally respond with a few words, and after finishing her meal, she picked up her tray and prepared to leave.

"Senior, wait a minute."

Fujiwara Moeha quietly followed.

"What's wrong?" Amamiya Natsuki stopped and looked at Moeha.

"I haven't formally thanked you yet, senior." Fujiwara Moeha tilted her head up, her eyes sparkling, and said, "I'd like to invite you to karaoke."

Amamiya Natsuki refused:

"I have other things to do this afternoon and don't have time to sing. Besides, the person you should thank is Chika."

"Hmph, don't try to fool me~"

Fujiwara Moeha lowered her voice and whispered in his ear:

"The person who helped Xiaohua and me break the curse the night before last was actually our senior, right?"

Natsuki Amamiya said calmly, "It wasn't me."

“It’s definitely my senior, don’t try to fool me.” Fujiwara Moeha raised her chin triumphantly. “My sister and I are together day and night, I know very well what she’s capable of. She never does anything serious except for eating, drinking and having fun, let alone purifying the vengeful spirit curse that even doctors can’t handle.”

Hey, she's still your sister, don't say she's completely worthless!

"Thinking about it now, it's really strange that they made me and Xiaohua wear blindfolds," Fujiwara Moeha continued. "Even in hospitals, patients aren't prohibited from watching during surgery."

“That reason doesn’t hold water,” said Natsuki Amamiya. “Most patients are already under anesthesia and unconscious when they undergo surgery in hospitals.”

“There is other evidence.” Fujiwara Moeha put her right hand on her hip. “My sister’s fingers are usually ice-cold, but that night, their temperature was so high. It definitely wasn’t my sister.”

Amamiya Natsuki retorted:

"Perhaps your sister washed her hands with hot water when she helped lift the curse."

“If you still won’t admit it, then I’ll have to use my last trump card.” Fujiwara Moeha raised her round chin, a smug smile on her face. “When I was cleaning the room yesterday, I found a hair on the chair cushion. It was a short black hair, the same length as your hair.”

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

A hundred secrets and a sparseness!

The final clue actually appeared in the hair, which explains why various hairs are one of the primary pieces of physical evidence collected at the crime scene.

The average person has about 30,000 hairs, and loses hundreds every day. This is normal metabolism, and losing a single hair is such a minor thing that it goes unnoticed.

"If senpai doesn't say anything, that means he admits it." Fujiwara Moeha smiled smugly, like a trainee detective who had painstakingly solved a case and couldn't help but show off. "Hinata said that senpai, Kaguya-sama, and her sister went to the hospital together, and then Hinata woke up. Plus, there's that short black hair, so there's only one truth—"

Hey, what happened to the Fujiwara family being all idiots?

Your IQ is way above average right now!

"Okay, it's me." Amamiya Natsuki reluctantly admitted, and said in a low voice, "Don't tell your friend Hana about this."

"Hey, why?"

"You don't want your friend to be so shy and embarrassed, do you?"

"..."

Fujiwara Moeha blinked her big eyes, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.

Oops.

I was so focused on reasoning that I forgot that night, Xiaohua and I took off our pajamas several times. No wonder my sister was so anxious to stop us... Our senior must have seen everything, right?

She'll never be able to get married!

After figuring it out, Fujiwara Moeha's face flushed red, her girlish shame exploding, and she turned and ran away in a panic:

"Goodbye, senior!"

Amamiya Natsuki said from behind, "What about the karaoke we agreed on? I'm free again now."

"I'm not going! I'm not going!"

"..."

School ended in the blink of an eye.

Natsuki Amamiya showed up at the student council, handed over the daily affairs to Kaguya, and then left first.

Zhu Zhu had already told the young lady about the bullying incident she encountered at school. She said that there was nothing to worry about in the case of bullying of ordinary people, so Kaguya Shinomiya naturally did not come along.

Speechless all the way.

Natsuki Amamiya quickly arrived at the school where Zhu Zhu studied, and took out her phone to send a message:

"I have arrived."

Zhu Zhu: "Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Natsuki Amamiya put away her phone and waited at the school gate.

School had only just let out a short while, and people were gradually coming out of the school.

When they saw Natsuki Amamiya standing at the door, most of the girls just peeked out and whispered among themselves.

However, there were always a few bold girls who dared to step forward.

"Um... hello." A blonde girl approached, her face slightly flushed, and said softly, "Are you a student at Shuchiin Academy?"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded politely and said, "Yes, that's me."

Wearing a school uniform, you can't just close your eyes and deny it.

"I haven't been to Shuchiin Academy yet." The blonde girl's eyes lit up, and she took out her phone expectantly. "Um, could we exchange contact information? I've always wanted to go to Shuchiin."

It's not just girls who get hit on; good-looking guys can also get asked for their contact information by girls.

Being attracted to good looks is a genetic instinct; everyone is attracted to good looks, only to varying degrees.

"Um……"

Amamiya Natsuki was about to politely decline when she suddenly noticed a petite middle school student walking towards her from a distance. She raised her hand and called out:

"Zhu Zhu, come here."

When Zhu Zhu walked over with a look of disdain, Amamiya Natsuki introduced her:

"This is my cousin."

"Cousin-cousin?"

Zhu Zhu was stunned upon hearing this, and was so angry that she almost bit her little tiger teeth to pieces.

asshole!

You said you liked me, but you called me "cousin" in front of other people! You scumbag and heartless man!

Besides, I'm clearly a year older than you, so I should at least be your older cousin!

Natsuki Amamiya reached out to touch Shushu's head, but Shushu almost bit her hand.

"I'm just your cousin, don't touch me!"

The girl who approached her breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, it's your cousin. I'm a third-year student. You can come to me if you need anything at school."

Zhu Zhu's face tightened: "I'm just a cousin, I don't need anyone's help."

This Zhu Zhu was like a puffed-up kitten, not letting anyone touch her. Amamiya Natsuki didn't mind, smiled, and continued:

"My parents were engaged when I was young, and after graduating from high school, I married my cousin, so I'm sorry."

"Getting...married?!"

Zhu Zhu's face quickly turned red, and she looked over, both ashamed and angry.

You idiot Natsuki, what are you talking about?!

Not only did they fabricate a story about a sister out of thin air, but they also talked about marriage and other stupid things. What utter nonsense and shamelessness!

Zhu Zhu wanted to explain, but after glancing at the dumbfounded girl from her school, she slightly moved her pink lips and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Forget it.

It's good to let this girl give up, so she won't be deceived by the scumbag in the harem.

"I'm sorry..." The blonde girl naturally understood the polite refusal, bit her lower lip, bowed and apologized, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Before Amamiya Natsuki could speak, the blonde girl apologized and hurriedly left with her head down.

My cousin's excuse was probably just a polite way of saying no. There's only one truth—such a handsome boy is actually a lolicon!

Amamiya Natsuki looked down at Zhu Zhu and asked:

Where is Komi-kun?

Zhu Zhu scoffed, "I'm just a cousin, how would I know where Shoko is?"
