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

“Not for now,” Natsuki Amamiya waved her hand. “Let her rest for a day first. If she still doesn’t come to school tomorrow, we’ll go visit her then.”

Shame needs time to cool down.

Visiting her now would only make Kashiwagi extremely embarrassed.

“Alright then.” Fujiwara Chika nodded. “I’ll send a message to Kashiwagi-chan and tell her to get some rest. I’ll take care of the student council work today.”

As they were talking, Kaguya Shinomiya walked in from outside the door.

"President, the list has been compiled."

The young lady handed over a form.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Natsuki Amamiya took the form.

The forest school lasts for three days, scheduled for Friday and the weekend. The student council has a lot to do these days, such as compiling a list of participants (every year some people can't attend for various reasons), collecting registration fees, renting buses, making tips booklets, and communicating with the forest school staff, etc. In short, it's all trivial matters.

“We contacted the bus company yesterday,” Kaguya Shinomiya said dutifully, standing beside her. “They promised to arrive at the school gate before 8:30 a.m. on Friday.”

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"We will notify you again on Thursday afternoon to avoid any oversights."

"Yes." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly. "I've already told the class representatives about the precautions for participating in the Forest School."

“It’s just that some people might not take the class notice to heart.” Natsuki Amamiya pondered for a moment, then said, “After school, I will make an electronic guide and send it to all participants via email.”

Kaguya Shinomiya continued:

"Should we call the person in charge at the forest school now to confirm?"

"it is good."

"Now there's only the final collection process left..."

"..."

"Wait, wait a minute." Fujiwara Chika, sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but raise her hand and say, "You've all finished all the work, so what am I supposed to do?"

The silly young lady tilted her head and thought for a moment: "A mascot?"

Natsuki Amamiya interlaced her fingers and said, "You just need to be in charge of eating, drinking, and having fun."

"That's so mean!" Fujiwara Chika puffed out her pink cheeks. "I'm not a mascot!"

"..."

The student council's trivial matters have been dealt with.

As soon as Natsuki Amamiya arrived at the classroom, she suddenly felt her cell phone vibrate slightly in her pocket.

I took it out and saw it was a message from my senior.

Zian Yan: "Junior, are you free this afternoon?"

Natsuki Amamiya: "I'm free for a date."

Zian Yan: "It's not a date at all."

Natsuki Amamiya: "Then I'm not available (greatly disappointed jpg)."

Senior Yanzi sent a disgusted emoji: "It's my cousin. She's already been discharged from the hospital and wants to treat you to a meal to thank you in person. She asked me to ask if you have time."

Amamiya Natsuki: "Is it just me and your cousin?"

"What are you thinking about?" The senior student tapped her head. "Of course I went too."

Natsuki Amamiya: "I agree."

"..."

In a blink of an eye, it was time to go home from school.

Natsuki Amamiya went to the student council office and told Kaguya and Chika about her senior treating them to dinner.

Since he's already said "I want them all," there's no need to be secretive or hide it anymore.

"Do you want to come along?" Natsuki Amamiya asked.

"I'm not going," Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head gently. "I still need to go back and walk the dog."

When others treat someone to a meal to express their gratitude, Kaguya Shinomiya, who hasn't helped in any way, certainly won't go and freeload.

"Where's Chika?"

Amamiya Natsuki then looked at Chika.

"No, no," Fujiwara Chika quickly waved her hand, her tone resentful. "I haven't been home all weekend, and Mom and Dad are very angry. They almost put me under house arrest. I have to come home for dinner during this period."

"..."

I've finished all the student council tasks.

Fujiwara Chika didn't plan on a 'date between two people', but instead invited Shinomiya Kaguya, and the three of them went to an ice cream shop for ice cream.

After finishing their cold drinks, the three went their separate ways. Amamiya Natsuki went to see Mizuhara Chizuru again to help her apply a healing skill. Learning from yesterday's experience, Mizuhara Chizuru chose a location quite far from the school this time, a forest park, to avoid causing trouble for Amamiya Natsuki.

"Wait a little longer, junior." Zi An Yan sent a message, she was still at school for the time being, "The club activity is almost over, I'll send you a message later."

Natsuki Amamiya put away her phone and, having nothing else to do, strolled around the park.

He hadn't gone far when the figure of a girl with long, straight black hair suddenly caught his eye.

Under the shade of a tree not far away stood a girl with long, straight black hair that reached her waist. Despite the hot weather, she was still wearing black stockings and was looking up at the tree with a worried expression.

A small, white-furred kitten was perched on a tree, meowing incessantly.

Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but smile, stepped behind the girl with long, straight black hair, and lowered her voice:

"Excuse me, do you need any help?"

"..."

The girl with long, straight black hair was startled, like a frightened quail. She quickly and timidly turned around to look, and her eyes lit up instantly when she saw that it was Amamiya Natsuki.

"Natsuki-san..." the quail-like girl said in a weak, expectant voice, "The cat can't get down from the tree."

"I'm sorry," Natsuki Amamiya said seriously, "I don't know the person you're talking about."

"Well?"

A question mark appeared above Komi's head.

"I'm actually a demon from another world, and I love making deals with humans." Amamiya Natsuki lowered her voice and spoke nonsense with a straight face. "If you want me to save the cat, you have to make an equal exchange."

Komi blinked and took out her wallet from her pocket.

“Waste paper means nothing to me,” Natsuki Amamiya said seriously. “If you just kiss me, I’ll save that cat.”

Komi-kun: "..."

And you call yourself a demon? A real demon wouldn't want a human kiss!

"No."

The quail-like girl's pretty face quickly flushed red, and she hurriedly shook her head.

"Are you sure you don't want to make the deal?" Natsuki Amamiya looked up at the tree and reminded him, "Such a small kitten falling from a tree will definitely get hurt, won't it?"

“The life of a stray cat is already difficult. Once it loses its ability to move and cannot find food, its fate is predictable.”

Amamiya Natsuki withdrew her gaze, looked at the quail-like girl, and smiled:

"Shoko, you wouldn't want an innocent kitten to lose its life just because of a kiss, would you?"

Komi-kun: "..."

Even though she knew that Amamiya Natsuki was just making excuses, Komi still hesitated.

If I hadn't seen it, fine, but now that I've found a cat trapped in a tree, if I just leave it there, I would indeed be responsible, wouldn't I?

"Hurry up and decide whether to go through with the deal or not," Natsuki Amamiya urged. "That little kitten is about to fall out."

Hesitantly, Komi quickly looked up and saw the kitten shakily stand up, meowing incessantly and looking at her with its eyes, clearly pleading for help.

A gust of wind happened to blow by, and the treetops and the cat swayed together.

Komi's heart jumped, and she quickly grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve, her voice weak as she said:

"Save the cat."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"You've agreed to the deal?"

Komi's pretty face flushed crimson, her voice barely audible, and she stammered:

"I...I agree..."

"That's good."

Amamiya Natsuki smiled immediately, and without climbing the tree, she stretched out her right hand and reached for the kitten on the treetop.

Target locked.

Skill activated... Flying Spell!

The kitten on the tree looked completely bewildered and didn't react at all before it fell from the tree into Natsuki Amamiya's hands.

"Meow?"

The little kitten stared blankly at Amamiya Natsuki and Komi with its round eyes, seemingly not yet realizing what had happened.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that she finally came to her senses, jumped abruptly from Amamiya Natsuki's grasp to the ground, and then, without saying a word, took off running and disappeared in a flash.

“The deal is done.” Natsuki Amamiya clapped her hands and looked at Shoko. “It’s time to keep our promise.”

Komi's gaze was still following the kitten's retreating figure when she heard those words, and she hurriedly looked down at her toes.

This quail girl has a commendable virtue: she keeps her promises and never goes back on her word. If it were Hayasaka, she would have already made an excuse to slip away.

"Sit down and let's talk." Amamiya Natsuki took the quail-like girl's right hand and led Shoko to the bench to sit down. "How did you end up here?"

Komi-kun's voice was soft and gentle as she whispered:

"There's a bookstore nearby, I'll come and buy some books."
