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

There hasn't been a single message in so long, what is that man doing?

"The tenth rule of the Loyal Dog Boyfriend Training Manual: To take something in advance, you must first give something in return." Hayasaka Ai sat on the chair by the bed, arms crossed. "Miss can send a message to Natsuki first."

"How could I possibly send him a message first? That would be tantamount to raising the white flag and admitting defeat, wouldn't it?"

Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but shout.

What's the difference between someone who initiates a message and someone who surrenders and admits defeat?

He's clearly saying things like "I can't take it anymore," because he can't bear the embarrassment!

Hey.

My phone suddenly vibrated.

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes lit up slightly. She casually put down her book and quickly picked up her phone.

A new unread message appeared on my phone.

Kaguya Shinomiya opened the message with a strange sense of anticipation, and sure enough, it was a message from Natsuki Amamiya.

"Sorry, I just got back."

Just came back?

Even though it's the Homecoming Club, Hayasaka's investigation didn't mention any part-time jobs. So what did he do?

As if by telepathy, Natsuki Amamiya immediately sent a second message explaining the reason.

"I was just on a date with your mom."

Shinomiya Kaguya: “???”

"Sorry, actually I was just shopping."

"..."

Let's make this clear: what does "dating" mean?

Looking at the ice sculpture girl who was so angry she looked like a pufferfish, Hayasaka Ai's fingers twitched slightly, and she resisted the urge to take out her phone to take a picture.

so cute!

This is the first time I've ever seen such a rich array of expressions on a young lady's face. It would be such a shame not to take a picture and keep it as a keepsake for a lifetime!

So, what is so special about that boy that he could attract the young lady's attention?

Good looks and good grades alone are not enough to make the young lady give him a second glance.

Unexplained dark circles under her eyes, suddenly stopping while eating, insisting on changing cars on her way to school yesterday... What on earth happened to this young lady?

Seeing that the message had been read but no one had replied, Natsuki Amamiya sent another message to the Ice Sculpture Girl:

"This is your mother's phone number. It's not a stranger's number. Add it and you can chat with her."

Kaguya Shinomiya stretched out a slender, white finger, as delicate as a scallion, and gently tapped the screen. Since it was her first time using a smartphone, she was inevitably a little clumsy, which only revealed her naivety and cuteness.

"……I see."

After finally sending the message, Kaguya Shinomiya turned to look at the blonde girl by the bedside and said casually:

"Hayasaka, you can go now, I'm going to sleep."

Sleeping is just an excuse; the real reason is probably that you don't want to see your chat!

"Ah, finally I can take a bath." The blonde maid stretched and turned to walk towards the door. "See you tomorrow, Miss."

"All done, you can chat now." Natsuki Amamiya instructed Kaguya-sama, added Kaguya Shinomiya's contact information, and after seeing that Kaguya Shinomiya had accepted the request, he got up and walked towards the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower."

As soon as Natsuki Amamiya came out of the shower, Kaguya-sama on the sofa waved to him: "Natsuki-kun, come here quickly, your phone is broken!"

"Ok?"

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and walked over to Mrs. Kaguya. "Your phone screen is black and won't turn on?"

"No." Mrs. Kaguya held up her phone and explained, "I was just video chatting with Kaguya-chan, but I couldn't see her on the screen."

Amamiya Natsuki looked curiously at her phone, and a picture of a beautiful, icy young lady with no makeup and her hair flowing over her shoulders clearly came into view.

As a smartphone novice, Kaguya Shinomiya also thought there was something wrong with her phone and was checking it in various ways.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at her phone, her gaze freezing involuntarily...

The Crimson King!

Data deleted!

Although we don't know what happened or why this interdimensional attack occurred, the fact remains that the Crimson King has descended once again. All data here has been deleted. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Chapter 80 Sleep Companion Service

"Natsuki-kun, why are you suddenly blushing?"

Mrs. Kaguya tilted her head and looked over.

"It's normal to blush after just taking a shower," Natsuki Amamiya said calmly, handing the phone back. "I think I know the truth."

"Hey, what's the reason?"

"Come with me."

Amamiya Natsuki got up and walked towards the restroom.

Mrs. Kaguya followed.

There was a half-length mirror on the wall. Amamiya Natsuki stood in front of the mirror, and her whole body was clearly reflected in the mirror.

It was terrifying to be around... there was only a cell phone floating in mid-air.

"Like an urban legend, is it that Yuuji can't see herself in a mirror?" Mrs. Kaguya was quite clever. "So, the reason I can't video chat with Kaguya is because of me, not because my phone is broken?"

“That should be it.” Natsuki Amamiya took out her phone. “Come over and take a group photo.”

Mrs. Kaguya leaned closer, raised her right hand, and made a peace sign next to her face.

Click.

After taking the photos.

After checking it, Amamiya Natsuki quickly said, "No, it won't work. We can't record it, so video calls are unusable."

"How outrageous! This is the truth!" Mrs. Kaguya exclaimed in disappointment. "Wait, can little Kaguya hear me?"

"Your video call is still on."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at her phone, the ice sculpture-like young lady covering her chest with her right hand, expressionless, but the tips of her ears were clearly flushed red.

"Kaguya-san," Natsuki Amamiya coughed twice, "Can you hear your mother?"

Kaguya Shinomiya's voice was calm and composed: "No, I can't hear anything."

"That's the situation. Video calls are no longer possible." Natsuki Amamiya handed the phone back to Mrs. Kaguya and turned to leave. "You can communicate via text messages."

Amamiya Natsuki had absolutely no interest in eavesdropping on mother-daughter conversations at night.

Back in my room, I read and studied; I have an exam tomorrow.

Before we knew it, it was 11 p.m.

Natsuki Amamiya closed her workbook and was about to go to sleep when her little finger suddenly twitched.

Then it kept moving.

Needless to say, there was no one else but Fujiwara Chika.

Playing at school is one thing, but staying up so late at night and playing with your fingers is just ridiculous!

Hey.

The phone vibrated.

Natsuki Amamiya picked up her phone and saw a message from the pink-haired girl.

"Natsuki-kun, help!!"

"I was just about to go to bed when a disheveled evil spirit crawled under the bed right in front of me! How awful! How awful! How awful! How awful! Knowing there's someone hiding under the bed, I can't sleep at all!"

"I can't help," Natsuki Amamiya suggested. "Why don't you change rooms?"

Fujiwara Chika: "My sister is already asleep. We shouldn't disturb her so late."

Natsuki Amamiya: "Then just bear with it until dawn, and then go to school."

"Natsuki-kun is so mean. She'll break if she doesn't sleep all night."

As a high school student, staying up all night is no problem at all!

Fujiwara Chika: "I really want to see if the evil spirit under the bed has left."

"Hold back your eyes, don't look."

Without you by your side, if you happen to make eye contact with an evil spirit, you're doomed.

"I couldn't help it; the more I thought about it, the more curious I became."

“Curiosity killed the cat.”

Even if Natsuki says that, girls' curiosity is just very strong.

That's because they're not scared enough. Like when they see a child, they just lie down as if nothing happened and would never be curious enough to look under the bed.

Amamiya Natsuki sighed helplessly and requested a video call.

"Natsuki-kun?"

A pink-haired girl appeared in Amamiya Natsuki's eyes, tilting her head with a puzzled expression, "You want to sleep with me?"

Fujiwara Chika was wearing a Pikachu pajama set, her pink hair cascading over her shoulders. The black bow on her bangs was nowhere to be seen. She wore no makeup, yet her skin was delicate and smooth, like a freshly peeled egg.

"Sorry, I don't offer sleep-companionship services." Amamiya Natsuki turned on the light, sat down at her desk, and picked up her workbook. "Get up and let's study together."

This pink-haired girl is definitely part of the chaotic camp, making it hard to tell whether she's genuinely stupid or just pretending.

She said she wanted to take a look under the bed, but it was impossible to tell whether she would actually look.

Just to be on the safe side, I can only feel at ease if I keep an eye on her.
