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

"Then let's keep going up. It would be best if we could make it to the shrine."

Kaguya Shinomiya took a deep breath and clenched her fists: "...I'm sure I can make it to the shrine!"

After a while.

"No, I can't... I can't hold on any longer..."

Standing at the bend in the mountain path, the silly young lady was panting heavily, her face full of despair.

The psychological side effects are more troublesome than the physical side effects.

I thought I could make it to the shrine, but the urge to take off my clothes grew stronger and stronger, and as time went on, I was now at a point where I could hardly move.

"Just hang in there a little longer," Natsuki Amamiya encouraged. "We'll be there in five more minutes."

"Five minutes... I definitely can't last that long." Kaguya Shinomiya took a deep breath, her pretty face flushed red, and gritted her teeth as she said, "President, turn around and keep an eye on the movements down the mountain for me."

"it is good."

Natsuki Amamiya accepted the task, turned her back to the young lady, and soon heard a faint rustling sound.

After a while.

The young lady's voice, tinged with shame, came through: "President, you can turn around now."

Amamiya Natsuki turned around, looked at Kaguya, and couldn't help but shake her head inwardly.

The young lady was probably doing this for the first time, and she was too shy to show it, unlike Hai Meng. Even though she was covered up completely, her cheeks felt like they were on fire. Her mental fortitude needs improvement.

"How are you feeling now?" Natsuki Amamiya asked curiously. "Are you feeling any better?"

"I feel uncomfortable at all!" Kaguya Shinomiya's pretty face flushed crimson. "However... my impulsiveness has eased a bit."

"That's good," said Natsuki Amamiya. "Let's hurry to the shrine."

Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lower lip and commanded, "President, you go first!"

"It's actually better for me to go to the back," Natsuki Amamiya said tactfully. "What if the wind suddenly picks up, and..."

"There's no chance!" Kaguya Shinomiya cried out in embarrassment, clutching her skirt tightly with both hands. "That kind of thing will absolutely not happen!"

"President, Kaguya-chan, why are you walking slower and slower?" Fujiwara Chika waved from the front. "Hurry up, hurry up!"

"..."

The young lady covered her skirt tightly with both hands, her pretty face flushed, and she stammered, unable to speak.

It can't be fast.

It was the first time in my life I hadn't worn a bra, and in a super crowded summer festival no less! How could I possibly go fast? Just being able to keep going was already quite an achievement.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the young lady and whispered:

"Do you want me to carry you up?"

"No." Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head quickly. "Absolutely not."

The clothes you're wearing aren't yukatas, they're just ordinary skirts, which probably makes it more likely that you'll be exposed if you wear them with your back to it.

"Then I can only hold your hand." Natsuki Amamiya extended her right hand.

Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, handed her delicate hand to Natsuki Amamiya, and covered her skirt tightly with her other hand. Her pretty face was flushed as she carefully stepped up the stairs.

(Stay calm.)

(Don't panic.)

(According to Murphy's Law, what you fear most is what will happen. As long as you pretend nothing has happened, you won't encounter any danger.)

It must be said that the young lady has a remarkably good mental fortitude.

At first, she was filled with shame, her pretty face flushed and she couldn't move her feet. But after walking for a while, she gradually calmed down. Although the blush on her pretty face hadn't faded, at least she no longer showed a guilty expression that would arouse suspicion.

“Very good,” Natsuki Amamiya said softly, “We’re almost at the shrine.”

"Ah."

Kaguya Shinomiya responded softly, looking at the shrine so close at hand, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her palms already sweating.

It's finally here.

These few hundred meters felt like an insurmountable chasm.

However, the moment the young lady lowered her guard, a crisis suddenly struck.

boom!

Two mischievous children were chasing and playing as they passed by Kaguya Shinomiya, and accidentally bumped into her.

Kaguya Shinomiya felt her skirt suddenly sink, and then it was pulled upwards. Suddenly, everything went black, and the world spun around her.

Oops.

This is the main entrance of the shrine, brightly lit, as bright as day. The steps at the entrance are crowded with tourists. And yet, here she is...

Just as the shame of being humiliated by the company was beginning to rise, in the next instant, Kaguya Shinomiya felt herself being pulled into someone's arms, and at the same time, a hand was placed on her skirt.

Smelling the familiar scent of Amamiya Natsuki, the young lady felt relieved, her eyes welling up with tears.

Why are you all running around like that?

Amamiya Natsuki frowned.

The two children who bumped into Kaguya were not Chihan, but two elementary school students who were chasing and playing in front of the shrine. They were about seven or eight years old, wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and their skin was tanned. They looked like children who were native to the island.

Faced with Natsuki Amamiya's questioning, the two elementary school students nervously took a half step back. They probably realized Natsuki and Kaguya were tourists, but their courage quickly returned. One of the students muttered:

"It wasn't us who hit her; she was just walking too slowly."

"That's right, they're not even as fast as us."

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but Shinomiya Kaguya had already calmed down. She turned to look at the two elementary school students behind her, crossed her arms, and gave them a dangerous look, as if she were looking at ants and insects. She tilted her head and smiled:

"Hehe...you guys are really cute."

So, so scary!

Faced with Kaguya Shinomiya's 'kind' smile, the two unruly children felt extremely frightened and couldn't help but tremble, quickly bowing and apologizing.

"sorry!"

A perfect smile.

Natsuki Amamiya looked at the kind-faced young lady and gave her a thumbs up in her heart.

High school students would shy away from Kaguya's smile, so manipulating elementary school students would be a piece of cake.

Amamiya Natsuki looked down and said:

Who bumped into whom just now?

"Sorry... We weren't watching where we were going and accidentally bumped into this pretty lady." Faced with the danger at the top of the food chain, even the naughty child turned into a well-behaved one.

Kaguya Shinomiya's gaze fell on the candied apples in the hands of the two elementary school students. The kind smile on her face quietly disappeared, and she said sternly:

"Don't run around on the mountain path anymore, do you hear me?"

"I heard it..."

The two mischievous children nodded obediently.

Kaguya Shinomiya then waved her hand and said:

"You can go."

The two mischievous kids, as if granted a pardon, ran away in a flash.

Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lip, turned to look at Natsuki Amamiya, and whispered:

"Just now……"

"Don't worry, I used time stop just now, I make sure no one saw it," Natsuki Amamiya whispered. "Actually, it's just candied apple stuck to your skirt."

Kaguya Shinomiya furrowed her brows slightly and said softly:

"Hurry up and go to the restroom."

Amamiya Natsuki agreed, handed the skin card to the young lady, and then waited.

After a few seconds.

Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lower lip and walked out of the restroom, covering her skirt.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Kaguya and whispered:

"No cubicles?"

"There are just too many people inside," Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but complain. "The line is already stretching out to the restrooms, there are more than a dozen people in it, we'll have to wait at least half an hour."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"In that case, we'll just have to find a quiet corner where no one's around... How about that cherry blossom grove?"

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she covered her skirt with her hands: "R-Right outside?"

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"If you don't want to go, try to hold on for half an hour?"

"..."

The young lady fell silent.

Hold on for another half hour... No way, absolutely no way.

In fact, as her shame gradually subsided, the side effects of being suppressed took over again, and Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but want to take off her clothes.

"Let's go." Seeing Kaguya's expression, Amamiya Natsuki knew what Kaguya had chosen and turned to walk towards the grove. "Let's finish this quickly."

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lip and followed Natsuki Amamiya step by step into the cherry blossom grove, her pretty face flushed.

The two of them, one after the other, arrived at a corner of the cherry blossom grove.
