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

"There's nothing we can do; it looks like it's been abandoned for decades."

"Hey, there are so many patient slips lying on the ground, and so many strange symbols on the walls."

"Hey, hey, president, something just ran past!"

Amamiya Natsuki took out a flashlight and stepped forward, saying:

"It's a stray cat. It's normal for a hospital that's been abandoned for decades to have stray animals. It would be strange if there were nothing there."

In short, the abandoned hospital was dimly lit and had a gloomy atmosphere. Strange noises could be heard from the shadowy corners from time to time. Without the memory of the previous game, everyone would inevitably be wary and explore cautiously step by step, spending a lot of time.

but now……

"According to the information from last week's playthrough, the secret is in the innermost room on the first floor, where there is a statue of Hiruko... Found it."

"This is the room."

Hayasaka Ai walked up to a wall, knocked and tapped on it for a while, and then said:

"This should be the location of the secret door."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"The key is inside the Hiruko statue's belly; we just need to find a way to get it out."

The senior student pursed her pink lips and said softly:

"According to the information from my junior's last playthrough, the key was taken out by Shadow Chika here, and we don't have any shadow creatures to help us now."

“Leave it to me.” Yukino Yukinoshita stepped forward and said calmly, “I have a plan.”

The location of the key might be a bit of a hassle for ordinary people, but it's not much of a problem for players.

"My shadow?" Fujiwara Chika rested her chin on her right hand, looking on with anticipation. "I wonder what it will look like. I'm so curious."

As Amamiya Natsuki looked at the eerie statue in the corner, a prompt suddenly appeared before her eyes.

A familiar sense of déjà vu washes over you, and you recall the wish of the shadowy Thousand Flowers…

"Hey, President?" Noticing Natsuki Amamiya's unusual behavior, Chika Fujiwara tilted her head and asked, "Are you alright?"

“It’s nothing.” Natsuki Amamiya shook her head. “I had a subtle sense of déjà vu just now. It seemed like your shadow said something here, but I can’t remember the specifics.”

"I can't believe such a thing exists..." Fujiwara Chika clenched her fists and assured, "It's okay, she is me, I will help her fulfill her wish."

Chapter 601 Yukino: What? Yukino is pregnant with twins?!

"The key has been retrieved."

Before long, Yukino Yukinoshita used a spider silk prop to successfully extract the key from the belly of the Hiruko God statue.

Yang raised her hand to cover her mouth, feigning surprise: "Xiaoxue is amazing."

Haimeng followed the formation: "Yukino is amazing."

Fujiwara Chika: "Yukino is amazing."

Sayu: "Yukino is amazing."

Amamiya Natsuki joined in the fun: "Yukino..."

"Um?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered, her gaze warning.

It's fine if other people call out to Yukino, but don't follow along and join in the fun.

"That's enough." Yukino Yukinoshita covered her forehead in exasperation. "I'll go open the door."

Amamiya Natsuki extended her hand and said:

"Let me drive, so I can react quickly if there's any danger."

The information left from last week's playthrough only said that after obtaining the key to open the secret door, one could enter the underground cave to complete the dungeon mission. It did not say what would happen when opening the secret door. There is probably no danger, but it's better to be safe than sorry, so we still can't let our guard down.

"Ah."

Yukino Yukinoshita responded softly and handed over the key.

Amamiya Natsuki took the key and opened the hidden door.

A chilly breeze blew in my face.

"It's so cold."

"It's windy down here."

"Wind is a good thing, it proves that the underground air is circulating normally and will not produce toxic gases."

"..."

The group raised their flashlights and descended the steps.

At the end of the man-made mountain path, a huge and vast underground cave suddenly appeared before our eyes.

at the same time.

Kaguya Shinomiya said softly:

"I received a notification that the dungeon quest is complete."

Yukino Yukinoshita carefully observed her surroundings and then said, "I received a notification too."

Just like in the second playthrough, Fujiwara Chika raised her hand again and suggested:

"Is Hiruko-no-Kami inside this cave? Should we take the initiative and go find her?"

“I suggest we don’t,” the young lady said softly, her arms crossed. “Hiruko-gami is hiding in the underground cave because she is injured. She is quite vigilant, so she is definitely not alone. There must be other shadows guarding her in the cave. We don’t know Hiruko-gami’s location, and we don’t know the number of the guarding shadows either. If we act rashly, we will not have the advantage.”

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded and said:

"Kaguya-chan makes a lot of sense."

Hayasaka Ai raised her hand and said:

"I also support Kaguya-chan."

“And there’s one more crucial point…” Yukino Yukinoshita gripped her left arm with her right hand and whispered, “Hiruko-gami has the ability to restart time. If we can’t kill him in one blow, he will definitely restart time again.”

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"I support Yukino."

The second young lady lightly bit her lip, her face turning pale.

Natsuki Amamiya pretended not to see and said:

"Should we rush in and capture Hiruko-gami? Let's vote."

"..."

The final result is self-evident.

With the ability to restart time, Hiruko-gami is a final boss that no one wants to challenge.

"In that case, let's go out," Kaguya Shinomiya said softly. "We've already received the follow-up dungeon quest."

After a while.

The group walked out of the dark, abandoned hospital.

The bright sunshine shines down from the sky, and looking into the distance, there is an endless expanse of blue sea and sky, which makes people breathe a sigh of relief and feel relaxed.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Fujiwara Chika exclaimed as she took out her phone and looked at it. "We actually completed the dungeon mission in just ten minutes."

Kitagawa Kaimu, with her right hand on her hip and a bright smile, said:

"It should be said that Natsuki is very powerful, making a strong comeback in the second playthrough."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded shamelessly:

"I also think I'm pretty amazing."

"Bah~"

"..."

Armed with the previous week's walkthrough, the group explored the abandoned hospital with remarkable speed and effort, requiring almost no rest. They immediately began the next phase of their operation.

“These elementary school students need someone to look after them.” Natsuki Amamiya pondered for a moment, then said, “Shuzhu, Shoko, and Sayu, I’m leaving them to you.”

Shayou raised her hand in salute: "Make sure to keep a close eye on them."

"Uh-huh."

Komi nodded quickly.

Zhu Zhu crossed her arms and said, "Leave it to us."

None of them were novice players. They might soften at the sight of the elementary school student's pleas, but they could distinguish between what was important and what was not, so there wouldn't be any problem entrusting the child to them.

Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"Senior, Haimeng, and Haruno-nee, I'll paste a Mystique skill into your hand. The three of you go investigate Hiruko's past. Pay attention to the time and hide from the surveillance cameras before the transformation begins. If you're running out of time, hide in a secluded spot and send a message. I'll come over as soon as I receive the message."

Zian Yan nodded slightly and said:

"no problem."

Kitagawa Kaimu clenched her right fist: "Natsuki, you guys need to be careful too."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Yukino, your older sister isn't here with you, so please take good care of yourself."

Yukino's pink lips parted slightly, and she said silently:

"...I should be the one saying that."

The last team consists of Natsuki Amamiya, Chika, Hayasaka, Kaguya, and Yukino. Nekonoshita recently learned a detection skill, which is quite useful in the team.

Qianhua needs no introduction; she's a perfect match for the anti-gang and anti-crime campaign.

After restarting with the memories of the second playthrough, Hayasaka Ai's Mystique skills instantly became the core of the team. With her hands in her pockets, she seemed oblivious to the existence of any opponent.

Finally, there's Kaguya-sama, whose shadow skills allow her to advance and retreat, fight and escape, making her equally indispensable.

In short, Natsuki Amamiya's team can be considered the strongest team.
