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

“Natsuki is right,” Kitagawa Haimu whispered. “Shall we go outside?”

Others agreed.

So the group turned around and headed back the way they came. Fortunately, the exit did not disappear, and they soon managed to leave the underground cave.

"Phew..." Kitagawa Kaimu patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally out."

Looking at the sunshine outside the hospital, the others also relaxed.

Everyone has a fear of the dark; if given a choice, no one would want to fight unknown and terrifying monsters in a cave.

Amamiya Natsuki put away the flashlight and said:

"Let's go down the mountain and leave this place."

"..."

The group did not linger and left the abandoned hospital along the mountain road.

After descending the mountain, to avoid being discovered, Chika used her transformation ability to become a bracelet and appeared on Natsuki Amamiya's wrist.

Speechless all the way.

After leaving Eagle Beak Mountain, the group arrived at the commercial street, checked into rooms, and prepared to rest for the time being. During this time, they couldn't help but pay attention to the pedestrians on the street, wondering if they were human or shadow clones. Naturally, they found nothing, as their eyes couldn't tell at all.

"It's so hot! Turn on the air conditioner!" Fujiwara Chika sat down on the sofa. "I want a Coke."

Shadow Chika revealed herself, sat in a chair, and looked at Amamiya Natsuki, saying:

"I also want to drink Coke, and eat grilled fish, dango, yakitori skewers, mitemaki, takoyaki, and yakisoba..."

Amamiya Natsuki said speechlessly:

"Stop talking, basically you want to try all the food on the shopping street outside, right?"

As expected of Chika's shadow clone, her foodie nature is on full display.

"Hmm," Shadow Chika said calmly, "Although I have the taste of food in my memory, I've never actually eaten it myself, so I want to try it."

Fujiwara Chika asked curiously:

Aren't you afraid of gaining weight from eating so much?

“Don’t worry, I won’t get fat no matter how much I eat,” Shadow Thousand Flowers said calmly. “Besides, I will sweat and bleed, but I don’t need to excrete.”

Kitagawa Kaimu rested her chin on her right hand and said:

"Besides food, what else would you like to experience?"

"..."

Shadow Thousand Flowers tilted her head, thought for two seconds, and then said:

"I want to know what a boy tastes like."

"Eh? Eh? Eh?" Fujiwara Chika's pretty face flushed red instantly, and she exclaimed in a panic, "W-what are you saying!"

Shadow Thousand Flowers calmly said:

"I probably only have three days left to live, so of course I want to experience things I've never tried before, like that time in my dream with the chairman."

"..."

The hotel room fell silent instantly.

Everyone turned to look at Shadow Thousand Flowers and Secretary.

Curiosity is normal, but to say it in front of everyone takes incredible mental fortitude.

"Ahhh! Don't talk nonsense!" Secretary Qianhua's face flushed red as she quickly stopped her. "I never had that kind of dream!"

Shadow Chika tilted her head and looked over, saying something in a flat tone that made people want to die:

"Impossible, I remember getting up and changing after I woke up..."

"Please...please, please stop talking!"

Chapter 590 We Have a Traitor Among Us

sunset.

The sunset glowed a hazy yellow.

Before we knew it, it was already evening.

A red sun is slowly sinking below the horizon, its light shimmering like gold, its reflection serene and beautiful. Countless seabirds circle in the sky, creating a scene of tranquility and peace.

"The cruise ships at the pier are temporarily out of service due to a malfunction. Engineers are working hard to repair them and expect to be back up by tomorrow morning." Kaguya Shinomiya looked at her phone and read the island's news aloud. "...This is the news from half an hour ago."

The group exchanged glances, understanding dawning on them.

"It seems that no one is willing to let go of that mother entity."

There are not so many coincidences in the world.

The cruise ship malfunctioned just as it was about to depart, clearly indicating that someone was sabotaging it.

"Never mind all that." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Chika and the others and said, "Let's finish your dungeon quests first."

The protection mission can be very difficult, but it can also be very simple. Just as Natsuki Amamiya said before, as long as the protected person is kept under your watchful eye, most crises can be resolved.

The mission to explore the abandoned hospital has been completed. Next, Kaguya, Yukino, and Hayasaka will prepare to join Haimu and the others.

at the same time.

Natsuki Amamiya's 'Shadow Hunter' mission will also be carried out. This time, she won't need to bring Sayu and Haruno. Instead, she will be joined by a new teammate, Chika.

"I want to act alongside the president!"

Fujiwara Chika stepped forward, clenching her fists and speaking decisively.

Shadow Thousand Flowers tilted her head and looked over, saying in a cold tone:

"Don't worry, I can handle things with the president."

In that instant, several girls shouted in their hearts at the same time:

"I wouldn't feel at ease leaving it to you!"

The lewd words that Shadow Chika said before are still fresh in people's minds. She only has three days to live and wants to experience the taste of a boy... Who knows if the two of you will do something strange when you're alone together!

Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms and began to speak:

"Let Chika and the president act together. They can look after each other and be safer."

Don't even think about acting alone.

Although it's a clone, its body is no different from a human's, even the temperature of its lips is 37 degrees Celsius. Plus, it has no sense of shame. If you were alone with it, it would definitely use those fat lips to seduce the president, right?

I would never agree to that.

“That’s right.” Fujiwara Chika nodded quickly. “The president and I are a team dedicated to fighting organized crime. We can’t do without me.”

Kitagawa Kaimu followed up:

"Ahem... I also think Chika-chan should join in."

She was the official girlfriend, and everyone else was not her girlfriend yet. If Chika got ahead of her and [beep] with Natsuki, just thinking about it made her depressed, and she would definitely be depressed for the rest of her life.

Yukino and Haruno remained silent and did not speak.

The senior student sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

Zhu Zhu looked at him with disdain.

As for Komi-kun... he was like a quail, sensing the heavy atmosphere, and didn't dare to look up at all.

At this moment, Natsuki Amamiya made the final statement:

"In that case, it's settled that Chika and I will act together."

"..."

Teams have been formed.

Both sides quickly took their own actions.

"Phew..." Fujiwara Chika breathed a sigh of relief. "President, how do we find the Shadow?"

Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at the shadowy figure Chika and asked:

"Qianhua, how do you suggest we find her?"

"Well--"

When Natsuki Tsukimi called someone by their own name, Chika-sensei involuntarily puffed out her pink cheeks slightly.

However... the shadow girl is also me, and she is indeed named Chika, which makes me feel really uncomfortable.

"I don't know." Shadow Thousand Flowers said calmly, "I don't have radar capabilities, so I can't scan the entire island. However, as long as I get close to the other party, I can find out who the shadow clone is."

Actually, there is another, albeit not a solution, method. Since shadow creatures are shadows, they hate being stepped on and occasionally their bodies and shadows become out of sync. However, this is not very effective, since it is difficult to keep staring at someone else's shadow after dark.

“Understood.” Amamiya Natsuki nodded. “Then we’ll just take a stroll around the island.”

Just like in battle royale games, the probability of finding the enemy is higher if you take the initiative to attack than if you're just lying in the grass waiting for them to come to you.

"Ah."

Shadow Thousand Flowers nodded gently.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Let's set off then... Let's take a stroll along the shopping street first."

As evening approached, the summer heat gradually subsided, and the sea breeze became cool, making the commercial street even more lively.

The island's indigenous people, as well as tourists stranded due to the cruise ship malfunction, all came out to take action.

The colorful signs along the roadside flashed neon lights in the night, and the air was filled with the aroma of various dishes and barbecues. Pedestrians thronged the streets, with elderly people walking together and parents holding their children's hands. The atmosphere of everyday life was particularly clear, making one wonder if this was a dungeon.

"President." Shadow Chika tilted her pretty face up, her pink eyes reflecting the sunset and clouds on the horizon, and said softly, "I want to eat takoyaki."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"Buy it now."
