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

"Yoshida-kun went in," Zhu Zhu urged softly. "Let's go to the bookstore too and observe secretly."

It was a little past four in the afternoon, and the bookstore was quiet with very few customers.

The three of them stopped talking and went into the bookstore, where they quickly found Yoshida Saki.

The blond-haired man hadn't appeared yet, and Natsuki Amamiya, bored, wandered aimlessly through the bookstore, soon discovering a strangely titled manga about the underworld—

Uncle, I hate little girls the most.

Not only is the name bizarre, but the cover is equally indescribable, featuring a strange combination of a greasy middle-aged man and a petite girl.

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze fell on the petite girl, and the more he looked, the more familiar she seemed.

Short hair, small tiger teeth, a figure that looks like it's barely developed, and a disdainful look in her eyes and a stubborn expression...

"What are you looking at?"

Zhu Zhu curiously leaned closer, and after seeing the cover clearly, her little face flushed red, and she couldn't help but lightly spit out a curse:

"Bah! Dirty!"

Komi glanced at him curiously, her pretty face quickly burning. She hurriedly looked away, not daring to look again.

Reading this kind of comic in a bookstore was completely beyond her courage; the girl's sense of shame was unbearable.

"You can know a person's face but not their heart," Natsuki Amamiya said unhurriedly. "The cover may be terrible, but the contents might be quite substantial."

"How could it be serious!" Zhu Zhu put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and complained, "It clearly says that it's not for viewers under 18, it's definitely vulgar and filthy stuff!"

The title on the cover, "Little Devil," is especially infuriating; it's incredibly disrespectful!

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and looked over, saying:

"Have you read comics that are restricted to those over 18?"

"I..." Zhu Zhu stammered, feeling a little guilty, "Of course I haven't seen it."

This is a lie.

I have actually read it, and it was a manga I read with my friend Komi, in Amamiya Natsuki's bedroom.

Amamiya Natsuki then looked at Komi and asked:

"Shoko, do you think it's right or wrong to just follow the crowd?"

Komi blinked, blushed, and shook her head.

The bookstore is a public place, so the young girl, like a quail, dared not speak again.

Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"Isn't it a bit excessive to give vulgar and filthy comments on someone else's hard-earned work without even reading a single page?"

Komi-kun: "..."

It seems... to make some sense?

"Wait, something's not right—"

Zhu Zhu pressed her finger to her brow. How did it turn into her own fault when it was clearly a vulgar and shameless comic?

Something must have gone wrong!

"You have to finish reading this manga to know how it is," Natsuki Amamiya said in a low voice. "Shoko said it's wrong to just parrot what others say."

Zhu Zhu realized what was going on, her eyes widened, and she was furious: "You were clearly trying to trick me into looking at the notebook with you, weren't you?!"

Natsuki Amamiya readily agreed, saying, "I can watch it with Komi-kun too."

"Pah! I would never watch that kind of stuff!"

"You're all eighteen years old now, it's normal for you to be looking at brochures, isn't it?"

"She's only seventeen, okay?!"

"Not much difference. After all, I'm eighteen in the traditional Chinese age system and nineteen in the modern age system. Before I know it, I'll be twenty."

"Nisnei!!!"

"..."

The two were bickering quietly when a finger suddenly poked Amamiya Natsuki's arm.

"Poke, poke, poke—"

Komi quietly gestured with her hand.

"As expected, it's blond hair."

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and saw a man walking in through the door. He was wearing a floral shirt, had cheaply dyed yellow hair, dark skin, a lewd smile, and looked terrible.

After spotting Yoshida Saki, the guy quickly revealed a smug smile on his face, having found his prey, and moved closer without hesitation.

“It’s him.” Zhu Zhu frowned, her eyes showing disdain. “That guy doesn’t look like a good person at all.”

“I completely agree with that.” Natsuki Amamiya nodded, putting down the manga for the moment. “Let’s go, let’s go take care of him.”

"..."

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Y-Yoshida Saki..."

"Oh, it's Saki-chan! Nice to meet you. Let's go to karaoke tonight!"

"Um, Mom is still waiting for me to come home..."

"You're not a child, what's the big deal? It's settled then, you'll go sing karaoke with me. Your voice is so beautiful, you must sing really well, right?"

"The voice...is unpleasant..."

In the corner, a girl named Yoshida Saki just looked down at her toes, neither daring to refuse nor knowing how to run away. She seemed even weaker than Komi-kun, which made people sigh.

"Yoshida-kun!"

Zhu Zhu suddenly shouted.

"Eh?"

The girl with braided hair and glasses looked up, a surprised expression on her face.

"We're classmates, have you forgotten?" Zhu Zhu stepped forward and pulled Yoshida Saki away from the blond-haired boy, warily pulling him behind her.

“I haven’t forgotten…” Yoshida Saki quickly replied, “It’s Inui-kun.”

Lord Zhu's name is Qian Sha Shouye, with Qian being the surname... In short, it's very awkward to pronounce.

Seeing Yoshida Saki being pulled away by Zhu Zhu, the blond-haired man didn't pay any attention, but instead focused his gaze on Komi-kun.

Compared to the unremarkable girl with braided hair and glasses, a beautiful girl with long, straight black hair like Komi is naturally a better target.

Especially those girls with a timid appearance similar to Yoshida Saki are always easy to deceive and manipulate.

"Hey kid." The blond-haired man stepped forward and put his hand on Amamiya Natsuki's shoulder. "Is this pretty girl your girlfriend?"

As for Zhu Zhu... she was completely ignored.

Amamiya Natsuki glanced at Komi-kun and nodded:

"That's right, she's my girlfriend."

"Girlfriend..."

Seeing that Amamiya Natsuki readily agreed, Komi's pretty face quickly turned red, and she hurriedly looked down at her toes.

She's clearly not my girlfriend... but I just don't dare to say it out loud.

"Bring your girlfriend, let's all go to karaoke?" The blond-haired man grinned disgustingly. "Don't worry, it's on me."

High school students who are only good-looking are usually extremely timid. If we go to karaoke later, a few harsh words and they'll cower and abandon their girlfriends, running away alone. Then…

“Okay.” Amamiya Natsuki smiled and put her hand on the blond man’s shoulder as well. “Let’s go outside and talk.”

"You're pretty quick-witted, aren't you... Ah!"

An indescribable pain shot through his shoulder; the blond-haired man felt as if his shoulder was about to be crushed and screamed in agony.

However, before the words could even leave his mouth, Amamiya Natsuki grabbed his chin, silencing him.

"Let's go outside and talk slowly."

Amamiya Natsuki, holding the blond-haired boy's shoulder, strode outside.

A girl, who also looked like a working girl, sat behind the bookstore's cashier. Although she felt that the blond guy with the cold sweat on his face was a bit strange, she didn't ask him anything. Normal people would hate guys like that.

There was an empty alley next to the bookstore. Amamiya Natsuki grabbed the blond man's shoulder and walked straight over. In just a few dozen meters, the blond man's expression was already contorted in pain. He felt as if his shoulder was about to break. He tried to struggle, but he couldn't break free at all.

Zhu Zhu was holding Yoshida Saki's hand, with Komi next to her, and three other girls following behind.

Upon entering the alley, Amamiya Natsuki pushed the blond-haired man to the ground.

"You bastard, how dare you..."

Enraged, the blond-haired man got up, his face flushed and menacing, and rushed forward to attack.

boom!

Natsuki Amamiya showed no mercy and kicked him out.

With his current physical condition, an ordinary person would have no chance against him.

The blond-haired man was sent flying backward at an even faster speed, rolling seven or eight times on the ground until he finally stopped after hitting the wall. He then clutched his stomach and knelt on the ground, vomiting.

Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward and calmly said:

"You want to sing karaoke with my girlfriend, right?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

Tears and snot were streaming down the blond-haired man's face. He knew that the boy in front of him was incredibly strong, almost inhuman, and could only beg for mercy.

boom.

Amamiya Natsuki raised her leg and kicked it again, sending it flying once more.

"You want to sing with my girlfriend, right?"

"I don't dare anymore..."
