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

"The president has gone too far." Kaguya Shinomiya tried hard to keep her pretty face straight. "Delete the photos."

Delete it and then reshoot!

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Natsuki Amamiya apologized sincerely. "I'll delete the photos when I get back."

Delete it?

Of course, it should be carefully preserved.

Yesterday I got a photo of the second young lady's legs, and today I took a photo of the eldest young lady's legs... I admit it, I'm a leg fetishist, looking at legs makes me happy.

Amamiya Natsuki put away her phone and then said:

"I brought mosquito repellent. Take off your stockings and I'll wipe them off for you."

"No!" Kaguya Shinomiya covered her skirt and shook her head rapidly. "Absolutely not!"

I walked so far today and sweated so much, I might smell bad, I don't want to embarrass myself in front of the president!

Amamiya Natsuki could guess the reason for the young lady's refusal. After pondering for two seconds, she suggested:

"Shall we go down the mountain to take a bath first?"

"Huh?" Kaguya Shinomiya paused, somewhat hesitant. "Can we go back now?"

“Of course you can.” Natsuki Amamiya nodded. “Forest school isn’t military training, so there aren’t many strict requirements. I even saw on Twitter that someone participated in forest school and then lay in a tent for three days and three nights.”

Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips and hesitated:

"But we're student council members, isn't it inappropriate to leave early?"

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"Leaving Chika and Kashiwagi on the mountain will naturally not be considered leaving the student council early."

It's just two small hills. There are security guards and teachers around, so the student council really doesn't need to worry about safety.

Kaguya Shinomiya raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, turned to look at the sunlit valley below, and said softly, "...Then let's go back and take a bath."

"..."

Speechless all the way.

Amamiya Natsuki and the young lady followed the rugged mountain path downhill and soon returned to the valley.

The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. Dozens of tents were arranged in a seemingly chaotic yet orderly fashion in the valley. The students were all playing on the mountain, so it was unusually quiet.

Natsuki Amamiya greeted Kaguya and went to her tent, taking a change of underwear from her bag.

Not changing your underwear after showering is like eating grapes without spitting out the skin—it'll make you feel uncomfortable all over.

After grabbing their underwear, Natsuki Amamiya and Kaguya met up and headed to the bathroom outside the valley.

The middle-aged woman behind the cashier glanced at the two of them, then lowered her head and started playing on her phone. She didn't charge them. The forest school wasn't a school; to be precise, it was a campsite similar to a summer camp, built specifically in the mountains and forests. Its main clients were schools and camping enthusiasts. The school was wealthy and had booked the entire place in advance, so they could shower whenever they wanted.

The men's and women's bathhouses were next to each other. When she arrived at the women's bathhouse, Kaguya Shinomiya stopped and gently furrowed her brows.

Natsuki Amamiya looked inside and saw a sign at the entrance of the women's bathhouse that read "Under Repair." She could faintly hear voices coming from inside.

Kaguya Shinomiya was very unhappy when she was stopped at the door before she could even start taking a bath.

"The men's bathhouse isn't under repair." Natsuki Amamiya glanced at the men's bathhouse, then looked at Kaguya and whispered, "Wait for me at the entrance."

"Ah."

Kaguya Shinomiya, not understanding why, nodded slightly.

"Hold on."

Amamiya Natsuki lifted the curtain and entered the men's bathhouse. She came out a short while later and waved to Kaguya, saying, "It's completely empty inside, there's no one here. Come and take a bath."

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Wait, isn't that the men's bathroom?"

“A men’s bathroom is only a men’s bathroom when there are people in it; when there are no people, it’s just a regular bathroom,” Natsuki Amamiya said seriously. “It’s like the men’s restrooms in shopping malls, which are often occupied by women in long lines.”

"That makes some sense... but that's a lie!" Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but retort. "Aren't you a boy?"

Amamiya Natsuki said without changing her expression:

"If I answer incorrectly, please call me a gentleman."

"Bah~"

The silly young lady couldn't help but imitate Zhu Zhu, spitting out a light spit.

To call himself a gentleman, the president really has a thick skin.

"Don't worry, there are separate cubicles inside, so you won't be discovered," Natsuki Amamiya whispered a reminder. "We don't know when the women's bathhouse will be finished with the repairs. It's already four o'clock, and we have to gather together at five to make dinner. After dinner, we'll have activities. If you don't shower now, you won't have a chance to shower until at least eight o'clock tonight."

"Well……"

The young lady hesitated and pursed her pink lips.

Amamiya Natsuki is right. If we don't wash now, we'll have to wait until tonight, which will be at least several hours later.

Now that I'm already here, and I've brought a change of clothes, and I'm still all sticky and sweaty...

Thinking about the sweat on her body, Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lip. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, as if ants were crawling on her. Sweating so much without taking a bath was undoubtedly a form of mental torture for a young lady with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

No!

I can't help it!

It's just a men's bathhouse, nothing special. I've been inside the men's restroom myself!

Kaguya Shinomiya let out a soft breath, her gaze quickly hardening. She took a half-step into the men's bathhouse, her pretty face flushed, and whispered:

"...I'll just take a quick rinse and then go out."

Amamiya Natsuki raised her hand and said:

"Would you like me to scrub your back?"

“Absolutely not.” Kaguya Shinomiya covered her chest with her right hand, carrying a bag in the other, and strode to a cubicle, her eyes wary. “You can leave. I can wash myself.”

Amamiya Natsuki changed the subject:

"Then will you help me scrub my back?"

"I'm sorry, I refuse." Kaguya Shinomiya said expressionlessly. "You should handle your own affairs."

"I can't reach it."

"Then don't rub my back."

"..."

boom.

The cubicle door was firmly closed.

This young lady is extremely shy, so naturally she wouldn't agree to take a bath together.

As for scrubbing each other's backs... if you're helping each other scrub their backs, what's the difference between that and taking a bath together?

Natsuki Amamiya randomly chose a cubicle and began taking a shower as well.

Crash.

The warm water flow washes over the body, carrying away the heat and sweat, leaving the whole body feeling refreshed quickly.

"President..."

Suddenly, the young lady's faint voice came from the bathroom.

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and looked over: "What's wrong?"

"I forgot to bring soap," Kaguya Shinomiya said softly.

She took a bath with Chika last night, and Chika brought the towel, soap, shampoo, and other items. Today, she came to take a bath alone, and only after taking off her clothes did she realize that she had forgotten to bring the soap.

"Wait a moment," Natsuki Amamiya said quickly. "Here's my soap."

After quickly rinsing herself, Amamiya Natsuki wrapped a towel around her waist, pushed open the door, and walked out of the cubicle to the young lady's cubicle—the cubicles they had chosen were not next to each other, so she couldn't pass the towel directly from below.

"Open the door."

Amamiya Natsuki called out from outside the door.

The door to the cubicle opened a crack, and the young lady, her hair still damp, peeked out, revealing half her pretty face. She remained hidden behind the cubicle, extending her right hand, her face flushed, and said:

"Give me the soap."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and handed over the soap, but at that moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from the outer room, followed by the sound of boys talking.

"Someone's coming!"

Kaguya Shinomiya was startled. The soap she had just caught slipped from her hand. She instinctively reached out to grab it, but because the floor was wet, she slipped and fell straight out of the cubicle.

"Be careful."

Amamiya Natsuki reacted quickly and grabbed the young lady in a hug.

dong dong dong.

The footsteps and voices grew closer, and they were about to bump into each other.

"That's too late."

Amamiya Natsuki decisively activated time stop, hugged the young lady, grabbed the soap in mid-air, and returned to the cubicle.

Three seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

Time flows again.

Kaguya Shinomiya breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing she was back in her cubicle, but quickly recovered, her pretty face flushed as she looked at Natsuki Amamiya: "W-why are you still in the cubicle?"

Natsuki Amamiya said in a low voice:

"Sorry, three seconds was only enough to carry you in and pick up the soap while I was at it."

Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."

It was too late to kick Amamiya Natsuki out now, but thankfully there were partitioned rooms, so there was no need to worry about their identities being exposed.

"It's so hot, it's unbearably hot."

"The forest school is so boring. I should have stayed home and played with the Hogwarts legacy. Now even Voldemort trembles in fear when he sees me."
