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

"..."

The quail girl quickly shook her head.

"Ahem... Shoko-chan, let me explain." Secretary Chika blushed and pointed to the shadowy Chika beside her, "Actually, she wanted a reward."

Shadow Thousand Flowers crossed her arms and said calmly:

"I am you."

"Things aren't what you think... Hey?" Secretary Qianhua turned her head and said, "Wasn't that figure passing by the park entrance just now Zhu Zhu?"

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya turned her head and indeed saw the figure of a petite girl, so she said:

"You guys chat, I'll go call Zhu Zhu over."

"President, hurry up!" Secretary Chika waved her hand. "If you don't see Shoko-chan, Zhu Zhu must be very worried."

"..."

Walking briskly out of the park, Natsuki Amamiya soon spotted the girl across the street and called out:

"Zhu Zhu, we're here."

Hearing the shout, Zhu Zhu across the street stopped and turned to look. After a two-second silence, she spoke:

"...Idiot Natsuki?"

Amamiya Natsuki walked up to Zhu Zhu and said:

"Of course it is me."

Although Zhu Zhu is a high school student, she is petite and underdeveloped. She is wearing a white shirt with a cartoon blue dolphin on the chest and a skirt with white stockings. She looks even more childlike, and people would believe she is an elementary school student.

Zhu Zhu tilted her little face up, her pink eyes calmly gazing at her: "I never expected to run into that idiot Xia Shu here."

Amamiya Natsuki paused slightly, sensing something amiss in Zhu Zhu's tone, and narrowed her eyes to stare intently.

A short while later, a notification quietly appeared in front of me:

Congratulations, you've discovered a shadow character, Zhu Zhu, that won't be ruined by playing around with.

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

What does "a terrible message that won't get ruined" mean?

You've never played Zhu Zhu before!

Hmm... okay, I've played it a few times.

Shadow Glass is fake, but Shadow Zhu Zhu is real. Now it's a case of the fake meeting the real deal.

Natsuki Amamiya made a decision in a flash.

Shadows can distinguish between humans and shadows, so the shadow Zhu Zhu must be able to recognize that it is a human.

But Zhu Zhu, the shadow, didn't know that she also knew she was a shadow.

and so……

"Are you looking for Shoko?" Amamiya Natsuki took the little hand of Shadow Zhu Zhu, which was cool to the touch, soft and elastic, just like a real person. She said casually, "Chika and I just met Shoko. She's in the park. Let's go over there."

First, they tricked him into going to the park.

Do whatever you want from now on.

"Wait a minute." Shadow Zhu Zhu stood still, unwilling to leave, and blinked her eyes. "I lost my bracelet. It should be up ahead. Silly Xia Shu, come with me to find it first."

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

Clearly, while he was deceiving others, his shadow Zhu Zhu was also deceiving himself.

Should we forcibly tie her up and then carry Zhu Zhu to the park?

After a moment's thought, Amamiya Natsuki rejected the idea.

According to Shadow Thousand Flowers, due to a special mechanism, shadow creatures must personally eliminate their original bodies in order to continue to exist in the world. Therefore, shadow creatures have an instinctive urge to hunt their original bodies.

So far, only Chika's shadow clone has been turned against her; the shadow clones of the others have not yet been seen.

As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a thousand days of guarding against a thief, only a thousand days of thievery. This is a perfect opportunity to infiltrate and pinpoint the locations of the other shadow clones…

"Okay." Amamiya Natsuki smiled and agreed, reaching out to rub Zhu Zhu's little head. "I'll help you find your things first."

"Don't touch my head." Shadow Zhu Zhu's eyes sharpened, and she pushed Amamiya Natsuki's hand away.

Amamiya Natsuki looked surprised and asked in confusion:

"Didn't Zhu Zhu herself say that whenever we're alone together, I have to pat your head?"

Shadow Zhu Zhu frowned slightly and said coldly:

"I never said that."

"You've forgotten?" Amamiya Natsuki's face showed a perfectly timed hint of suspicion. "You said those words not long ago, and now you don't remember?"

"..."

Shadow Zhu Zhu fell silent.

Because of the game, the shadow clone cannot obtain any memories related to the game. In short, all the experiences of the dungeon adventures are shrouded in mystery, and they have no idea what they have gone through.

Her memories of the real world are perfectly clear, without a single flaw, and impossible to forget. For example, there's a memory that was altered by the Crimson King, where he said something like, "You don't want to dirty the room, do you?" and then tricked her into doing that kind of thing...

Recalling the humiliation she had suffered, Shadow Zhu Zhu clenched her small fists, took a deep breath to suppress her inner impulse, gritted her teeth, and said coldly:

“I remember now, I did say that.”

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said:

"Just remember."

The fraud was successful.

The shadow clone is unaware of what happened in the original copy and is completely free to act on its own.

"But I've changed my mind now." Shadow Zhu Zhu crossed her arms and said with a stern face, "Don't touch my head anymore, or I won't grow tall."

Amamiya Natsuki exclaimed in surprise:

"You're already seventeen, do you still think you'll grow taller?"

Shadow Zhu Zhu's eyes narrowed, and she glared at him fiercely: "Do you want to die?"

"I'm sorry, I got carried away." Natsuki Amamiya knew when to stop and apologized decisively.

"Hmph." Shadow Zhu Zhu snorted lightly, "Hurry up and help me find my things."

"Wait a minute," Natsuki Amamiya said seriously, "There are still things I haven't finished."

Shadow Zhu Zhu frowned slightly: "What else?"

"Of course, I want to lift you up high!" Natsuki Amamiya exclaimed in surprise. "When we're alone, you want kisses, hugs, and to be lifted up high. You haven't forgotten what you said back then, have you?"

Shadow Zhu Zhu: "..."

Could it really be something I said?

impossible.

I would never say such shameless things.

But... what if?

Once a girl falls in love, her IQ drops rapidly, making her easily deceived. For example, she herself was tricked into doing *that* kind of thing by that idiot Natsuki, and afterwards she felt guilty even when drinking milk for days.

Perhaps in that memory shrouded in mist, I did say I wanted kisses, hugs, and to be lifted up high?

While hesitating, Amamiya Natsuki had already made her move, reaching her hands to the waist of Shadow Zhu Zhu and lifting her high with a little force.

"That's enough." Shadow Zhu Zhu clenched her little fists, suppressing her anger. "Put me down."

After lifting her up several times, Amamiya Natsuki was satisfied. She put down the shadow, Zhu Zhu, and smiled.

"I like Zhu Zhu the most."

"hehe."

Shadow Zhu Zhu straightened her disheveled skirt and sneered, "If you said that in front of everyone, I would believe you. Everyone 'misses you'."

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

A bead of cold sweat silently rolled down his forehead.

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly realized that the reason why Haimu and Chika agreed to date each other was because of their experiences of transcending life and death in the dungeon, but in the memories of the shadow clone, all of these experiences were blocked.

So... he's just a super scumbag who relies on his high charm and sweet talk to deceive girls' feelings?

Could it be that Shadow Haimeng and Shadow Senior have already sharpened their hatchets and are just waiting to dismember us?

at the same time.

In the park.

Komi had just finished putting on her pantyhose when she suddenly felt her phone vibrate. She took out her phone and opened her eyes wide in panic.

"Glass sauce, what's wrong?"

Fujiwara Chika asked curiously.

"We have news...!"

Komi pursed her pink lips and quickly handed her phone to Chika. It contained a message that Zhu Zhu had just sent:

"Shoko, I'm out! Where are you? Why aren't you at the door?"

"Huh? Huh?" Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened in surprise. "Who was that Zhu Zhu who just passed by the park entrance?"

Chapter 593 Shadow Sea Dream: Shall we share him?

The night is blurred.

Amamiya Natsuki followed beside the shadowy Zhu Zhu, the two strolling along the dimly lit street.

Where did you drop it?

“It’s just ahead.” Shadow Zhu Zhu said expressionlessly. “Don’t ask so many questions, we’ll be there soon.”
