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

“The game designates it as a dungeon location, so there must be something special about it.” Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms and said softly, “It’s necessary to gather specific information about Hito Island, including recent cases, urban legends, and so on.”

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"I placed an order with the hacker."

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and the information you collect yourself is inevitably incomplete. In such cases, you should hire a professional intelligence broker.

"Um..." Kitagawa Kaimu raised her right hand and coughed lightly, "How do we get there?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the sea and said:

"Flying is faster."

Kitagawa Kaimu blushed and couldn't help but turn pale.

Last time I went to Hokkaido, I took a plane, but the plane kept bullying people, and I couldn't even wear my underwear anymore. This time, with so many people traveling together, I absolutely cannot take a plane again.

Fortunately, Fujiwara Chika was understanding and said:

"Haimon-chan has a fear of flying, so let's take the Shinkansen instead. Twenty-four hours is enough time to get there."

Kitagawa Kaimu hugged Chika tightly: "I love Chika-chan the most!"

"..."

The discussion is complete.

Everyone prepared to leave the office and go their separate ways.

As soon as the door opened, a cypress accountant stumbled and fell inside.

"You guys finished so quickly?" Kashiwagi blurted out.

"Huh?" Fujiwara Chika was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly understood: "It seems that Kashiwagi-san has a big misunderstanding about us... You guys go first, Kashiwagi-san and I will chat in the office."

"No!" Accountant Kashiwagi quickly shook his head, turned around and ran away, "I'm going home!"

With the dungeon launch imminent, there are many things to prepare.

For example, Fujiwara Chika and Shushu first had to win over their parents.

Once downstairs, everyone went their separate ways.

Natsuki Amamiya was about to leave school when she ran into her senior.

"Junior, I just saw Qianhua-chan's message. Are you guys going into the dungeon?"

Zian Yan quickly came over and asked with concern.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"It's the instance that was triggered in Kagoshima during Golden Week."

Zi'an Yan pursed her pink lips and said earnestly:

"I want to participate too. The mandatory dungeon is coming soon, so we can do it together."

During Golden Week, my senior was out of town and didn't go to Kagoshima, so she didn't get the dungeon qualification and naturally didn't receive the dungeon notification. That's why she only saw the news now.

The mandatory dungeon must be participated in once a month, but if you participate in other dungeons before that, the mandatory dungeon time will be refreshed.

Amamiya Natsuki paused for a moment, then said:

"Senior, you can come with us. If we can trigger the dungeon, you can participate together."

"Okay," Zi An Yan agreed. "I'll go back and pack my things first. See you tonight."

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya continued walking out and encountered Sayu again.

"Master, I want to join the dungeon too!" Shayou also saw the message and waited for him at the crossroads. "Don't leave me alone. Even if I die, I want to be with you, Master!"

Amamiya Natsuki glared at her: "Don't jinx it."

"I'm sorry." Shayou quickly apologized, covering her head with her hands and saying pitifully in a low voice, "I said the wrong thing, please punish me, Master."

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and said:

"Any punishment is acceptable?"

“Anything is fine.” Shayou tilted her pretty face up and said softly, “If it’s Master, I wouldn’t mind even [beep].”

Hey, what really awful thing did you say to warrant being censored?

"Since that's the case, then you'd better be prepared," Natsuki Amamiya's voice deepened. "Now I'm going to punish you severely."

Shayou's eyes shone brightly as she said expectantly, "Master, please punish me quickly."

"Here you go." Natsuki Amamiya handed over the schoolbag. "Help me finish my summer homework."

Shayou: "……(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!"

The dungeon is about to start, and there's still a lot to prepare. I really don't have time to punish Shayou; I'll have to wait until later.

As for Sayu's participation in the dungeon, Amamiya Natsuki's answer was exactly the same: she could go along, and if the dungeon could be triggered, she would participate; if not, then so be it.

Leaving school.

Natsuki Amamiya arrives at the agreed-upon ice cream shop, meets Chizuru Mizuhara, and helps her paste the treatment skills of the quack doctor.

Ms. Chizuru also heard about the dungeon and asked if she needed help, but Amamiya Natsuki politely declined. Their relationship wasn't that close; they were more like trading partners. However, renting gloves for making rice balls was no problem.

After finishing her work for the day, Natsuki Amamiya said goodbye and went home.

On the way back, I received another message from Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Natsuki-kun, are you guys going to Kagoshima to challenge the dungeon?"

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

It feels like the whole world knows now.

Needless to say, it must have been Qianhua who leaked the news.

"We really need to challenge the dungeon..."

Natsuki Amamiya briefly explained the situation.

Yukino Yukinoshita quickly replied, "I'll go with my sister."

Upon seeing the news, Natsuki Amamiya was not surprised.

The second young lady has gone to great lengths for Yang Nai. She sent a message when they were at the forest school saying she wanted to borrow the leg accessory during the summer vacation. Now that she has heard the news, she certainly won't miss the opportunity.

To be fair, the beginner dungeon is definitely much easier, but only Haruno can challenge it alone. Yukino Yukinoshita is naturally worried about this, so teaming up with Natsuki Amamiya and her group is the best option.

“You can come over, but there’s no guarantee you’ll get access to the instance,” Natsuki Amamiya explained.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "I know, see you in two hours."

"..."

End the chat.

Natsuki Amamiya returned home.

Seeing that no one had returned yet, Natsuki Amamiya turned around, walked next door, and pressed the doorbell.

The door opened quickly, and the girl who was his childhood sweetheart, wearing an apron, asked in confusion:

"Natsuki, why are you knocking?"

Amamiya Natsuki said softly:

"Of course I want to see Miko."

"Get away from me." Seeing Zi Bai approach, she said, "We went to school together this morning."

Amamiya Natsuki stepped into the entryway, glanced around the living room, and lowered her voice to say:

"Kyousuke isn't home?"

"They should be playing in the park; they haven't come back yet." Seeing the child's questioning look, she asked, "What are you doing so mysteriously?"

"It's good that you're not here. I have something to tell you..."

Natsuki Amamiya told them that she was about to head to the southern country for a dungeon challenge.

As a person with special abilities among ordinary people, there is absolutely no need to hide these things from Miko.

After hearing this, Jianzi silently bit her lower lip: "Going to challenge a dungeon again?"

“Yes.” Natsuki Amamiya said calmly, “I have to go. There’s no chance to refuse.”

Jianzi took a deep breath and said softly:

"When are you leaving? The potion is being made and will be ready soon."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"We'll depart in about three hours, taking the Shinkansen."

"That's enough time." Jianzi turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Natsuki Amamiya followed her into the kitchen, took Miko's hand, and while copying her abilities, said:

"I'm about to go challenge a dungeon, and I don't even know if I'll come back..."

Seeing her pretty face freeze, she bit her lip and said:

"Don't say stupid things."

Players challenging dungeons are like soldiers rushing to the front lines; a slight misstep could mean never returning. No one can guarantee they will be able to clear a dungeon.

Of course, Natsuki Amamiya came here not to "hold hands and look at each other with tears in her eyes" with Miko, but for other purposes.

"We're leaving for Kagoshima tonight. Shouldn't you grant me a small wish, Miko?"

"Amamiya Natsuki said in a low voice."

Seeing that Zi glanced over, she asked, "What is your wish?"

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

"If Jianzi could just say he likes me, I would have no regrets in life."
