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

I didn't realize you were so good at being cute!

Natsuki Amamiya took the takoyaki, fed one to Hiruko-gami, and then said:

"Bo Dao, I want to ask you for a favor."

Hiruko-gami, her little face puffed out as she ate takoyaki, said calmly:

"If Natsuki likes it, I'll do anything for her."

well.

What I want is your words.

What's the fun in fighting the final boss to the death? Of course, it's in turning the boss into your own shape!

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said:

"I have some grudge against Four-Hands. Could you bring Four-Hands here so I can deal with him?"

“Alright.” Hiruko-gami’s expression remained unchanged. He turned to look at the shadows around him and ordered, “Go and capture the four hands.”

"..."

These shadows, which had not been won over by Amamiya Natsuki, displayed a rather subtle expression upon hearing this.

The mother, who had lived with Four Hands for over three hundred years, suddenly threw herself into the arms of another man and is now helping the "wild man" to capture Four Hands... Even though they are not human, the Shadows have experienced the taste of the Minotaur.

In short, I have mixed feelings.

However, this was an order from Mother, and no one questioned it. They all bowed their heads in agreement and began to capture Four Hands.

After a while.

A shadow came to deliver a message:

"Four hands were just behind that big tree when they saw Mother and... holding hands. They immediately turned and ran away. We are searching for them."

"whispering sound."

Hayasaka Ai crossed her arms and couldn't help but scoff upon hearing this: "His wife was being played with by another man, and when he saw it, he actually turned around and ran away, without even having the courage to confront him. He's clearly a coward, isn't he?"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded in agreement:

"You're right."

"Pah." Hayasaka Ai spat lightly, lowering her voice to complain, "A perverted senior who NTRs other people's wives has no right to speak."

However, while Amamiya Natsuki's harem of scumbags is extremely despicable, compared to them, the cowardly turtle who wouldn't even dare to show his face is even more contemptible.

While the nearby shadows went off to hunt down Four Hands, Amamiya Natsuki and her friends had some free time and decided to stroll around the summer festival.

Hiruko held one of Amamiya Natsuki's fingers, her ahoge (a single strand of hair sticking up) swaying gently as she curiously observed everything around her.

Amamiya Natsuki casually bought a serving of three-colored dumplings and handed it over, asking:

"Haidao has never participated in a summer festival?"

“No.” Hiruko-gami shook her head. “This is my first time participating in a summer festival.”

"Eh, why?" Fujiwara Chika asked curiously, "Hamina-chan must be hundreds of years old, right? How come she's never attended a summer festival in all that time?"

Hirudo God said in a calm voice:

"Yanqie said that for my safety, I can't come to places with too many people."

"Tsk."

Hayasaka Ai clicked her tongue slightly.

They say it's for Bo Dao's safety, but what can an ordinary person do to harm such a powerful supernatural being?

It's easy to guess the truth with a little thought: the reason why Four Hands did this was clearly to prevent Boda from falling in love with someone else.

Kaguya Shinomiya said softly:

"Does Bo Dao really like staying in underground caves?"

Hirudo God shook his head and said:

"I don't like it. I actually like sunbathing."

Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips and continued:

"Was it Yanqie who kept you in the underground cave?"

"Yes, he said the ground is dangerous."

Upon hearing this, even Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but frown slightly and whisper:

"Scumbag!"

No wonder that when he saw Hiruko being attacked by the Minotaur, Shigetsu not only didn't go forward, but ran away immediately. It's because Shigetsu had absolutely no feelings for Hiruko. If he had any feelings at all, he wouldn't have kept Hiruko in the underground cave for three hundred years and refused to take her to a single summer festival.

Without a doubt, in the mind of the Four Hands, Hiruko-no-Kami was merely a tool to be used.

Amamiya Natsuki patted the little girl's head and suddenly felt sorry for her.

Despite seemingly possessing immense power, it has always been used as a tool, which is quite tragic.

"Bodao, what is the mechanism for time restarting?"

Amamiya Natsuki asked in a gentle voice.

Having finally won over Hiruko-gami, it's not enough to just eat and drink; obtaining information is the most important thing.

The Hirudo God calmly replied:

"When I am fatally wounded, or when I am emotionally agitated."

"Is it an active ability?"

"Yes."

The girls exchanged glances, then took out their notebooks and began recording information.

Three playthroughs have already passed, and this is the player's first time interacting with Hiruko-no-Kami, making every piece of information extremely important.

Perhaps this playthrough will be enough to clear the dungeon, but better safe than sorry.

In case you are unable to complete the game, this information will be especially valuable to players in the next playthrough.

Kaguya Shinomiya asked softly:

When did Bo Dao arrive on the island?

"I can't remember." Boda ate her tricolor dumplings, her little face expressionless, but she held Amamiya Natsuki's fingers tightly, occasionally revealing a look of dependence. "I only remember living in the sea, constantly replicating myself, eventually becoming a whale, and then being washed ashore..."

The rest of the content was pretty much what the middle-aged dean had said; the background didn't change much.

Fujiwara Chika asked curiously:

"I have a question. Since Bodao is so powerful, why didn't he restart time after he was injured?"

“The restart time is limited,” Hiruko said calmly. “Each restart consumes a lot of energy, and the restart time will become shorter and shorter. The bombing came from the sky. I was seriously injured at the time, and I didn’t know if there would be any more bombings, so I gave up.”

"I see."

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly realized.

No wonder that after entering the third playthrough from the second playthrough, I "woke up" under a coconut grove by the beach. The truth is that Hiruko's restart time is getting shorter and shorter.

Hayasaka is curious:

"Can you know the every move of all the shadows?"

“No.” Hiruko shook his head. “Too much information will overload my brain. I don’t usually pay attention to the movements of other shadows.”

Yukino Yukinoshita said softly:

"Did you send your shadow specifically to attack elementary school students?"

Hai Meng and her friends are the only ones they need to protect, all of whom are elementary school girls, which inevitably makes people wonder if there's anything special about them.

“No.” Hiruko shook her head again. “However, Karikiri did give an order; he wants me to change bodies.”

"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened in surprise. "He wants to turn you into an elementary school student?"

"Ah."

"why?"

Yan Qie said that elementary school students are cuter.

"..."

The girls immediately broke down.

Even Natsuki Amamiya was speechless.

No wonder the game makes players protect elementary school students; they are the clones chosen by Hiruko-gami by the Four Hands and are bound to be attacked.

"Lolicon!"

"abnormal!"

"Those elementary school students are only ten years old. That four-armed guy is too freakish!"

Seeing several girls looking at him, Natsuki Amamiya decisively expressed his opinion, saying seriously:

"Such a perverted person deserves to be killed by everyone!"

"..."

After obtaining a large amount of valuable information, Kaguya Shinomiya asked softly:

How many clones does the four-armed creature have in total?

“Two,” Hiruko said calmly. “One wears armor made of mud and has been by my side for many years. The other clone died this afternoon.”

The group exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.

Hiruko-gami's eyes are now completely fixed on Amamiya Natsuki, so she definitely won't lie. In other words, Shigetsu really only has two clones, so there's no need to worry about a football team hiding in the shadows.

Amamiya Natsuki inquired:

"Besides the clones, does the four-armed creature also have a main body?"

“It has a physical form.” Hiruko-gami nodded. “Karikiri’s physical form is in an underground cave, in the room next to mine.”
