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

"It's a guardian spirit!"

"..."

The three of them were still forty or fifty meters above the ground. The shouts from the ground were completely muffled by the wind and rain, so they could only wave to indicate that they were safe and to reassure Qianhua and the others.

Amamiya Natsuki put away the grappling hook, preventing Kaguya from climbing down on her own. She looked up at Yukino above her and called out, "Don't climb anymore. Rest for a minute before you move."

To be on the safe side, it's safer to wait until the time-stop skill cools down before taking any action.

"I see."

Yukino obediently agreed.

It was windy and rainy.

The night was dark and desolate.

With one hand firmly gripping the tower crane's handrail, Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at the young lady in his arms. Kaguya's clothes were already soaked by the rain, and her wet hair clung to her forehead. At this moment, her pretty face was pale, and her eyes were misty, adding to her delicate beauty.

Looking at the young lady's unusually gentle and beautiful face, Amamiya Natsuki felt her mouth go dry and she really wanted to bully her, so she couldn't help but lower her head and move closer.

"Wait, wait a minute..." Kaguya Shinomiya's pretty face flushed red quickly, "Mom's still here..."

"Sister Aye looks even more exciting."

"Eh?!"

Having just made a mistake, the silly young lady was unusually weak-willed at this moment. She didn't firmly refuse and was quickly silenced by Amamiya Natsuki's lips. Then, she opened her pink lips slightly, feeling wronged, and let herself be bullied.

"One minute has already passed."

After an unknown amount of time, Yukino Yukinoshita finally couldn't help but remind him.

Amamiya Natsuki finally let go of the panting young lady, preventing Kaguya from climbing on her own. After putting away the grappling hook, he had Kaguya hug his neck and then carried her down the slope.

This time, without any mishaps, the three successfully climbed down the crane and returned to the ground.

"Kaguya-chan, you scared me to death just now!"

The girls gathered around, asking with concern. Fujiwara Chika, with tears in her eyes, excitedly hugged her best friend.

"I'm alright now..."

Kaguya Shinomiya hugged her best friend and gently patted Chika's back.

It would be even better if I didn't have two big lumps of useless fat supporting me.

"Master, are you okay?"

Shayu quietly approached Amamiya Natsuki and asked in a low voice.

While others may care about Kaguya, she naturally cares even more about her master.

"It was alright," Natsuki Amamiya said gently. "It was quite exciting, and I'd like to do it again if I have the chance."

"No way!" Shayou puffed out her cheeks. "I'm never playing such a dangerous challenge again!"

After a pause, Shayou continued:

"Master, hurry back to the hotel. I'll help you take a bath. Your clothes are all wet. You'll catch a cold if you don't take a bath and change quickly."

Amamiya Natsuki shook her head and said, "Not today."

"Huh?" Shayou was taken aback, blinking in confusion. "Why?"

Amamiya Natsuki said, "It shouldn't be your turn to take a bath."

With Haimeng as his official girlfriend, it's obviously not the pet Sayu's turn to help with bathing.

"Woo..."

Shayou puffed out her cheeks, looking unhappy, and her eyes were particularly resentful.

Amamiya Natsuki said speechlessly, "What kind of look is that?"

"I'm sorry, I forgot I'm a pet!"

"..."

As they were speaking, two flashlight beams suddenly shone from afar, and someone shouted from a distance:

What are you doing at the construction site?

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw two men in security guard uniforms walking over.

"Oops."

"It was a security guard at the construction site; he must have heard us shouting."

"What should we do now?"

Amamiya Natsuki turned around decisively and said, "Of course we should run as fast as we can."

Chapter 563 Hayasaka Ai: I'm sorry, there are limits to human potential.

"Hahaha, escape successful!"

"The rain seems to be getting heavier, let's hurry back to the hotel to take a shower."

"What about those safety ropes that are tied to the tower crane jib?"

"I'm sorry, I completely forgot."

"..."

With the wind and rain raging, neither the young lady nor Amamiya Natsuki had any interest in going up the crane again. As for the safety ropes that were left behind, they could keep them as souvenirs.

The group, holding umbrellas, walked back to the hotel through the deserted, rainy streets.

The hotel was booked in the afternoon, and the girls took a shower at the hotel after swimming at the beach.

Needless to say, Natsuki Amamiya, Kaguya, and Yukino were already soaked by the rain. At such a height, umbrellas were useless, and raincoats weren't safe either.

The girls who remained on the ground were also soaked by the rain. Although it was summer and not very cold, the feeling of being wet all over was still very uncomfortable.

Back at the hotel, everyone agreed to go out for a late-night meal and then started taking showers.

This hotel is quite traditional, with separate baths for men and women, separated by only one wall.

The girls naturally went into the women's bath together, while Amamiya Natsuki walked alone into the men's bath.

And then... nothing happened.

Pet Sayu didn't come over.

Hai Meng, his official girlfriend, didn't come either.

With so many people around, there's no chance to shower together.

After taking a bath alone in the quiet and lonely atmosphere, Amamiya Natsuki felt a little thirsty, so she put on a bathrobe, walked out of the men's bath, and went to the vending machine in the corridor to buy a bottle of Meiji milk.

Da da da.

The sound of wooden clogs hitting the floor echoed.

"Hey, junior?"

A surprised voice came from behind me.

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and saw that the person who spoke was none other than Senior Yanzi. She couldn't help but ask, "Senior, you finished your bath so quickly?"

Zian Yan was dressed similarly to him, having just come out of the bathroom. She was also wearing only a white bathrobe, and her pink hair was not tied up but hung wetly over her shoulders. Because she had just taken a bath, her skin was fair with a rosy glow, and under the light, it had a pinkish halo, adding to her charming aura.

"It's not ready yet, but I haven't had any water and I'm a little thirsty, so I came out to get something to drink..." Zi'an Yan walked over and asked curiously, "Where's Junior?"

Amamiya Natsuki held up the Meiji milk in her hand: "I'm the same as my senior."

“Hmm…” Zian Yan pursed her pink lips and said softly, “Junior Jun was in too much danger before.”

Amamiya Natsuki put in a coin, bought another can of Meiji milk, and handed it to her senior: "That's why courage is the hymn to humanity."

Zian Yan rolled her eyes and took the milk, saying irritably, "That's not courage anymore. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to walk at all, let alone cover my eyes."

"Actually, I felt a little dizzy at first," Natsuki Amamiya said honestly. "But after I covered my eyes, my mind calmed down."

Zian Yan took a sip of milk: "Liar, I don't believe it."

The two talked as they returned to the entrance of the women's bathhouse.

Amamiya Natsuki stopped and said seriously:

"Since you don't believe me, then I'll just have to let you experience it for yourself to prove that I wasn't lying."

"Huh?" Zi'an Yan was taken aback, blinking her beautiful eyes in confusion. "Personal experience... What does Junior want to do? Let me make it clear first, I have a fear of heights and will absolutely not go to do high-altitude walking."

“It’s not walking in the air.” Amamiya Natsuki grabbed her senior’s hand and pulled her into the men’s bath next door. Then she took out the ribbon that had been used to tie her eyes earlier. “It’s just to let you experience what it feels like to be blindfolded.”

"Wait, wait a minute!" Zi'an Yan's pretty face flushed red quickly, and she hurriedly lowered her voice, calling out in embarrassment, "This is the men's bath, let me out quickly."

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"It's already 10 o'clock, and there's no one else in the men's bath except me."

"That won't work either." The senior student leaned against the wall and shook her head. "What if someone comes in?"

Natsuki Amamiya gave her assurance:

"Then I'll use time stop. In three seconds, I can easily run dozens of meters while holding my senior."

"Don't use time-stopping for weird things!" Zi'an Yan couldn't help but complain, her hands braced against the wall behind her, her pretty face flushed. "Even if you say that, it still won't work... Everyone's taking a bath next door, if we don't go back, people will definitely get suspicious, right?"

Amamiya Natsuki extended her right hand: "I'll let you go back in five minutes, senpai."

"No, five minutes is too long." Zi Yan Yan pursed her pink lips. "Three minutes at most."

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said, "Then three minutes."

"Woo..."

Zian Yan couldn't help but puff out her cheeks, suddenly realizing she had been tricked.

"I'll help my senior tie it."

Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward and tied the ribbon on Koyasu Tsubaki's hand.

Ziyan looked around and whispered, "Of course you'd be nervous if you suddenly couldn't see anything. How could you possibly stay calm?"
