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

There were no lights in the corner, but a crescent moon overhead cast a soft, watery glow.

Amamiya Natsuki stopped and looked at Kaguya, whispering:

"Go change your clothes, I'll go and keep watch on the side."

"Um……"

Kaguya Shinomiya took a deep breath and eagerly equipped the Pure White Wedding skin card.

next second.

The young lady, dressed in an ordinary shirt and skirt, transforms into Kaguya-chan, a pure white bride holding a bouquet of flowers.

The moon is like water.

Bathed in moonlight and starlight, the bride-to-be possessed a charm that almost reached the limits of human ability, leaving Natsuki Amamiya in a daze.

"President~"

Seeing Amamiya Natsuki staring blankly at her, Shinomiya Kaguya's pink lips curled up slightly as she softly said, "You can leave now."

"Hold on."

Amamiya Natsuki snapped out of her daze, took out her phone, and snapped a series of photos before finally leaving the woods satisfied and heading straight for a secluded corner.

"Come out." Natsuki Amamiya stopped. "There are a lot of mosquitoes in the bushes."

Wow.

The bushes rustled slightly, and a spy maid quietly jumped out—who else could it be but Hayasaka?

"I applied mosquito repellent all over my body before coming up the mountain, so I'm not afraid at all." Hayasaka Ai walked up to Amamiya Natsuki, raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and whispered, "What are you and the young lady doing in the grove, you perverted senior?"

Chika noticed Kaguya's unusual behavior, and Hayasaka Ai, who was secretly watching Kaguya at all times, naturally couldn't have missed it. After Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya broke away from the group, she naturally followed them without hesitation, ensuring Kaguya's safety at all times.

Amamiya Natsuki sat down on a bench next to the bushes and casually said:

"You can take a guess."

"Hmm..." Hayasaka Ai sat down next to Amamiya Natsuki, extended a slender finger, and gently touched her lips. "Could it be that the perverted senior couldn't restrain his lust and wanted to make a move on the young lady?"

Amamiya Natsuki unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip of her drink, and upon hearing this, remarked:

"If I couldn't control my lust, do you think you'd still be able to leave the tent that night at the forest school?"

"Pooh!"

Hayasaka Ai's pretty face flushed red, and she couldn't help but lightly spit out a curse. She turned away and asked in a low voice:

"Senior pervert, hurry up and tell me, what happened to the young lady, and why did you all go into the woods?"

To avoid being discovered, Hayasaka Ai did not get too close without permission, lest Kaguya notice her.

Natsuki Amamiya reveals details in a news report:

"Your young lady has an E-level of luck. After drinking the witch's potion, she's experiencing side effects again."

"Huh?" Hayasaka Ai was taken aback and urged, "What kind of side effects are they?"

“That was free information,” Natsuki Amamiya said slowly. “What the specific side effects are, that’s paid information.”

"Tch." Hayasaka Ai crossed her arms, naturally knowing what "payment" meant. "Did that perverted senior just kiss the young lady?"

Natsuki Amamiya answered truthfully: "No."

"Never mind then," Hayasaka Ai said regretfully. "I have absolutely no interest in it."

Hey, your quirks are getting weirder and weirder!

Natsuki Amamiya silently took out her phone, opened a photo she had just taken, and handed it to Ai Hayasaka.

"So, so cute!"

This photo was taken from a low angle, capturing not only Kaguya but also the moonlight and starlight behind her. Kaguya in the photo appears to be radiating light, sacred and inviolable.

Hayasaka Ai's eyes lit up, and she said expectantly:

"President, send me the photos."

Amamiya Natsuki put away her phone and shook her head in refusal:

"Sorry, this is a paid photo. Please pay first."

"whispering sound."

The spy maid looked at her with disdain, but... the young lady in the photo was exceptionally beautiful, and she really wanted her.

Hayasaka Ai raised a hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, stood up, leaned closer, and kissed Amamiya Natsuki on the cheek: "It's okay..."

"Totally not enough."

Amamiya Natsuki embraced the spy maid's slender waist and pulled Hayasaka directly into his arms.

"President, don't hug me, it's so hot."

Although Hayasaka Ai said something disdainful, her body was quite obedient. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around Amamiya Natsuki's neck, then tilted her pretty face up slightly and closed her eyes.

After teasing the maid Hayasaka for a while, the two quickly separated. The young lady was still in the woods, so of course she couldn't have her fill of fun.

"President, please go check on the young lady quickly," the spy maid gasped softly. "Don't let the young lady get into danger."

"Okay." Amamiya Natsuki released Maid-chan. "Take care of yourself."

Back in the forest, Kaguya was standing quietly in a corner, the hem of her pure white wedding dress already half blackened.

"President?"

Hearing footsteps, Kaguya Shinomiya turned her head to look.

Amamiya Natsuki stopped a few meters in front of Kaguya, revealing his identity:

"We've already gotten married in the game..."

"That's enough, President, you don't need to say anymore!" Kaguya Shinomiya quickly called out to stop.

Amamiya Natsuki walked up to Kaguya and said:

"How are the side effects?"

"It should be fine now. There's just a tiny bit of impulsiveness left." Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips. "I feel like everything's okay."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"Then let's try putting away the skin card."

"Ah."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly, silently reciting "put away the skin card," and the pure white wedding dress instantly disappeared, revealing her original clothes.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"How about it?"

Kaguya Shinomiya closed her eyes and carefully sensed the moment. Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, lifting the young lady's hair and skirt upwards.

Natsuki Amamiya glanced over instinctively, and a splash of snow-white caught her eye.

"Well--"

Kaguya Shinomiya quickly covered her skirt, her pretty face flushed as she glared at him.

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

"It was too dark, I couldn't see anything."

Even though you drank the potion, the dim light didn't prevent you from seeing clearly!

Kaguya Shinomiya covered her skirt with one hand and pointed outwards with the other, puffing out her pink cheeks as she said:

"President, get out!"

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki walked to the edge of the forest and waited silently. After a short while, the young lady finally stepped out. Judging from her steady steps, she was no longer vulnerable.

"Let's go." Kaguya Shinomiya placed her hands on her lower abdomen and looked ahead. "Let's go meet up with Chika and the others."

Just to be on the safe side, Chika and the others didn't go far, leaving Shadow Chika to lead the team to conduct reconnaissance within the shrine.

Seeing Natsuki Amamiya and Kaguya arrive, Chika Fujiwara's eyes lit up, and she happily exclaimed:

"Kaguya-chan, are you alright now?"

"It's all right." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded gently. "Don't worry."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Kage Chika and said softly:

"Chika, have you found anything?"

Shadow Thousand Flowers said calmly:

“There are five shadows in the shrine. The five shadows are gathered together and look like they are plotting something.”

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya raised an eyebrow and said:

"You didn't approach rashly, did you?"

"No." Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms and said softly, "I stopped Chika from getting close."

"That's good." Amamiya Natsuki breathed a sigh of relief. "From this afternoon until now, we haven't encountered many shadows. They are mostly upper-class people on the island, and they are likely to be in contact with each other. Now that so many shadows have lost contact, it must have attracted the other side's attention. There might even be some kind of 'code' or something."

At this point, Natsuki Amamiya looked at Chika and gave her some instructions:

"Be careful from now on, and don't go out alone."

Shadow Thousand Flowers tilted her head and said:

"...Is the president worried about me?"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Of course I'm worried about you."

Shadow Thousand Flowers opened her arms: "I want a kiss."

"stare--"

Kaguya Shinomiya turned her gaze and looked over.
