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

Yukino Yukinoshita bit her pink lips tightly with her pearly teeth, recalling her childhood memories.

When the two sisters were in elementary school together, one afternoon on their way home from school, they encountered a vicious stray dog. It was the older sister who stood up for them... The brothers may quarrel at home, but they unite against external bullying.

No matter what conflicts arise between sisters as they grow up, they will still instinctively stand up for each other when you are in danger.

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

“Your sister is different from the other Faceless Men. Her face hasn’t completely turned blank yet, and she can still remember your name, which proves that she is still conscious… If you want to wake her up, you should find a way to stimulate this part of her consciousness.”

It's not that Natsuki Amamiya is making things up; the information provided in the prompt is exactly as stated.

After a pause, Natsuki Amamiya recited the remaining clues in a soft voice:

“If we wait until your sister’s face becomes completely blank, even if we can solve the mystery, it will probably be too late.”

Otherwise, Natsuki Amamiya wouldn't have said much, but would have focused on finding the strange creature as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this news, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately frowned, biting her lip as she said:

"How exactly should we do it?"

“Well…” Amamiya Natsuki said in a low voice, “I told you not to hit me.”

“Go ahead,” Yukino Yukinoshita assured her, “I promise I won’t hit you.”

"Don't be angry?"

"...Speak quickly!"

“Then I’ll say it,” Natsuki Amamiya said seriously. “There are only two ways to stimulate and influence someone: physical stimulation and mental stimulation.”

"Physical stimulation goes without saying; ancient tortures are a good example."

"As for psychological provocation... you can change your target and hurt the person your sister cares about most in front of her."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Who else could my sister care about and cherish most besides herself?

So, you want to torture yourself in front of your sister?

“Of course, there may be other methods,” Natsuki Amamiya continued, “but time is tight, and we can’t verify them all.”

"..."

Although the perverted man is lewd and shameless, he never jokes when it comes to serious matters. He has an extraordinary keen observation and insight. Since he said so, he may really be able to awaken his sister.

As for the idea that he just wanted to take advantage of me... that's impossible.

This is not the real world, but a strange and mysterious space. It's a matter of life and death, so who would have the mind to take advantage of others, let alone in front of Kaguya?

"call……"

Xuexia made her decision in a flash, within just a few seconds.

"I understand." Yukino Yukinoshita's pretty face tightened, her gaze firm. "I choose the second option."

I'll agree to anything as long as I can wake my sister up.

Yukino Yukino, having made up her mind, didn't care about the location or time, and decisively said:

"Let's start now."

Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at the young lady, seeking Kaguya's opinion: "Kaguya-sama, what do you say?"

The silly young lady puffed out her pink cheeks slightly and couldn't help but scold him.

You've already discussed it all, and now you're asking me? What can I say?

Do you mean I should tell you not to cooperate and to ignore Yukino's older sister?

Can't do it.

That kind of thing is too cold-blooded and too heartless.

Put yourself in her shoes; if your mother were abducted by the supernatural, she would make the same choice.

Since I can't refuse, I can only try to avoid seeing it.

"Of course I have no objection. There's still plenty of time. It would be best if we could wake up Yukino's older sister first. Maybe she could even provide us with some clues." Despite her inner turmoil, the silly young lady remained calm and composed, showing no sign of resentment. She even kindly added, "We can split up. You can go somewhere else, and I'll stay in the office to see if we can find more clues."

Out of sight is pure.

If this really is a parallel world, then information is the truly priceless and precious resource. Rather than watching the president bully others, it's better to stay and search for useful intelligence.

Yukino looked over gratefully: "...Thank you, Kaguya-san."

Being 'tortured' in front of her sister and others would be shameful even for a snow woman. If she could be in a different place, away from being watched by others, that would be the best outcome.

“Then that’s settled,” Natsuki Amamiya assured him. “We’ll be back in twenty minutes at most, whether or not we can wake Yukino’s sister up.”

"..."

The discussion is complete.

Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed Haruno's arm and led her out of the office.

Amamiya Natsuki walked ahead and quickly found an empty classroom. Inside, there were not only tables, but also sofas and a television, which looked like a club activity room.

"This is it." Natsuki Amamiya pushed open the door and entered the activity room, carrying over a chair and placing it in front of the sofa. "Have your sister sit in that chair."

"Ah."

Yukino pulled Haruno along to the chair and pressed Haruno down to sit on it.

Immediately afterwards, Natsuki Amamiya took out a rope and walked up to Yukino.

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately frowned, and said warily:

"what are you doing?"

Although I agreed to be 'tortured' by you in front of my sister, what do you mean by taking out a rope right away?

Shouldn't we proceed step by step?

“I’m not tying you up.” Natsuki Amamiya handed over the rope and explained, “Tying up your sister will prevent your anger from being released, so it will keep building up until it finally explodes.”

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita did not deny it, silently took the rope, and tied Yukino Yukinoshita to the chair.

Natsuki Amamiya turned around and sat on the sofa, waiting silently.

"The rope is tied," Yukino Yukinoshita whispered. "What's next?"

doing what?

Of course, they'll torture you in front of your sister! Do you even know what it means to be a criminal in front of your sister?!

“In your sister’s current state, verbal provocation won’t work; she’ll have to really bully you… Of course, it’s just acting,” Amamiya Natsuki said seriously. “Don’t be angry afterward.”

“I understand.” Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms and said calmly, “Whatever you do to me in the next twenty minutes will be irrelevant.”

Hey, do you know that what you just said is dangerous?

If you really encounter an evil villain, I'll let you ask the school for maternity leave in advance!

"That's good." Amamiya Natsuki leaned back on the sofa and said casually, "Let's call him Master first."

"Um?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's pretty face immediately hardened, and she glared at her sharply.

"See? I only asked you to call me 'master,' and you snapped at me." Amamiya Natsuki spread her hands, her tone innocent. "If you want to provoke your sister, you'll definitely do something even more outrageous next. And you say you won't settle the score later?"

Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip: "Words of provocation have no effect on my older sister, so what do you mean by making me call you 'older sister'?"

“It’s a test,” Natsuki Amamiya said seriously. “It’s a heads-up so you know what’s going to happen next. If you can’t handle it, then we should leave early to avoid giving up halfway and wasting time.”

"..."

While it might sound somewhat reasonable, Yukino Yukinoshita was certain that this guy wasn't as righteous as he appeared on the surface; at least half of him was just trying to satisfy his perverted desires.

Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath, parted her pink lips slightly, and whispered:

"Owner."

Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but smile: "Your voice is too soft. Say it again."

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head to look out the window, the lines and curves of her profile were exceptionally beautiful, especially the stubborn yet humiliated expression that she had to submit to because of her sister, which was absolutely stunning.

"Master..." Yukino Yukinoshita raised her voice, "Now you hear me, right?"

“I heard you.” Amamiya Natsuki patted his thigh and instructed Yukino, “Come here and lie down.”

Yukino Yukinoshita's pretty face froze instantly, and she transformed into a snow woman, emanating a chilling aura.

Let me lie on his lap... What does this guy want to do?

"Hurry up, don't waste time." Amamiya Natsuki was fearless, playing the villain, and threatened, "Don't forget your sister. If you don't want your sister to be bullied, then behave yourself."

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita trembled slightly, turned to look at Haruno on the chair, bit her lower lip, walked to Natsuki Amamiya, a hint of hesitation flashed across her pretty face, then she took a deep breath and endured the humiliation.

I'll do anything to wake my sister up, even if it means lying on a boy's lap...

Snapped!

next second.

The crisp, loud slap echoed throughout the room, its lingering sound reverberating long afterward.

"Well……"

Suddenly attacked, even the aloof Snow Woman couldn't hold back and let out a low groan.

Feeling the burning pain in her mouth, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly came to her senses, biting her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth, and turned her head to glare at Natsuki Amamiya with a gaze that could freeze a person.

"You, you actually..."

"What are you looking at me for?" Amamiya Natsuki raised her right hand again and commanded, "Turn your face and look at your sister."

Snapped!

Hand rises, palm falls.

The crisp sound of a slap rang out again, echoing throughout the room.
