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

Another black spear flew out and pierced through Hiruko's body.

Amamiya Natsuki scooped up Yukino and rolled back into the passageway.

"mean!"

Yukino Yukinoshita gritted her teeth, realizing the intentions of the four hands.

The two sides were already enemies, so it was normal for them to be attacked. However, the target of the attack was Hiruko-gami, and the attack was ruthless and merciless. It is clear that Shigetsu had no feelings for Hiruko-gami at all and only used him as a tool.

"Cough cough..."

Hiruko coughed up blood and, because of her small size, was pinned to the ground by two spears.

puff!

With four ferocious-looking hands, it hurled another black spear, piercing through Hiruko's body, and said in a chilling voice:

"Bodao, quickly use your restart ability to get everything back on track!"

Hiruko coughed up another mouthful of blood. Her already pale face turned as white as paper, clearly indicating that she had reached her limit.

Boom!

Amamiya Natsuki drew her shield, blocking another attack from the four-armed creature. She then reached out and patted Hiruko's head calmly, saying:

"Bo-Dain, see you next time."

After speaking, Natsuki Amamiya took out a mask, put it on her face, pointed to the four hands on the other side of the passage, and smiled:

"Bo Dao is very cute, I'm very satisfied."

Hiruko's eyes lit up slightly: "...Cute?"

Yukino Yukinoshita grasped Ina's hand, biting her lip as she said:

"Bodao-chan is really cute."

Hiruko-gami's voice was weak: "This is the first time I've heard someone say I'm cute... I'm happy."

"..."

hum.

Ripples like water spread through the air, and time restarted once more.

Everything turned into a stream of light and began to flow backward at high speed.

Amamiya Natsuki felt as if the world before her had turned into a bizarre kaleidoscope, beyond her comprehension. When she came to her senses, she found herself on a rocky beach by the sea.

"Eh, President?" Fujiwara Chika's surprised voice rang in her ears, "Why are you wearing a mask again?"

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head to look around and asked:

"What are we doing here?"

"Of course, it's to catch that shadowy elementary school student." Fujiwara Chika asked, puzzled. "Didn't you, President, return from the second playthrough with information and say you were going to complete the dungeon quest?"

It turned out to be the case.

Amamiya Natsuki realized that she had returned to the third timeline, not the first. In other words, everything that had happened before this timeline was already predetermined.

"President?" Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips and looked at her, already having a guess in her mind. "The mask on your face... could it be..."

“That’s right.” Natsuki Amamiya took a deep breath and replied, “I just returned from my third playthrough, so I’m actually on my fourth playthrough now.”

Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."

Chapter 610 Hayasaka Ai: I actually wrote a short essay?!

"Huh, fourth time around?"

"Is the president joking?"

"Probably not, the president looks very serious..."

The girls were astonished.

After time restarted, all memories were wiped clean, and for them, the third cycle had just begun.

Amamiya Natsuki said in a low voice:

"You'll know if you look at the notebook in the backpack."

Upon hearing this, several girls opened their game backpacks.

"There really is a notebook." Fujiwara Chika exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise. "And it even has my own handwriting on it... When was this?"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Not long after we finished the dungeon quest, just to be on the safe side, I had each of you write a diary and keep it in your backpacks for emergencies. Now it comes in handy."

After a pause, Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"You should all have taken notes of what happened last week, so I won't go into details. You can take a look for yourselves."

Kaguya Shinomiya said softly:

"Now I believe that the president really did return from the third playthrough."

Hayasaka Ai opened her diary and asked curiously:

"Let's all take a look at what's written in the diary first."

At the beginning of the third loop, the only intelligence officer was Komi. Later, everyone pieced together their information, and each person got some pages from the diary. Kaguya and the others had no relevant memories of it, but the handwriting in the diary was undeniable.

With mixed feelings, the girls quickly browsed through the information they had recorded.

Fujiwara Chika whispered:

"We went to the newly built hospital, interrogated the director, and then discovered the true identity of the four-armed... a weakened version of Pain and Nagato?"

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her pink lips and whispered:

"He went to the shrine and captured the shrine priest, who was one of the four-armed clones. Unfortunately, he was killed by the shadow... What a pity."

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at the contents of her notebook and said softly:

"Using the title skill of being possessed by the Prime Minister, you successfully won over Hiruko-gami and got him to help you hunt down Yotsugu. You actually managed to do that?"

The young lady looked up and asked:

"President, now that we've already defeated Hiruko-gami, why is time restarting and we're entering the fourth playthrough?"

Fujiwara Chika quickly said:

"It's not recorded in my diary either."

Despite the pain from the mask, Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"Because the subsequent changes were too sudden..."

Led by the head nurse, they entered an underground cavern, only to be ambushed by Four Hands with explosives. They lost their footing and fell into the abyss. Then, they used time stop to save Kaguya Chika and Hayasaka. Finally, using the grappling hook, they and Yukino were suspended on a swing above the abyss...

At this point, Natsuki Amamiya couldn't help but glance at Hirano.

"Ok?"

Yukino Yukinoshita keenly noticed that Natsuki Amamiya's gaze was somewhat subtle.

His gaze is strange... Could there have been something else going on at the time?

Natsuki Amamiya took a deep breath and recounted in one breath how the four hands attacked Hiruko-gami, forcing him to restart time.

"...That's the situation."

With the intelligence support from the second playthrough, the operation in the third playthrough went quite smoothly, and the situation was very favorable. It was just a pity that the fourth hand turned the tables at the last moment.

"That sounds a bit of a shame." Fujiwara Chika put her right hand on her hip and asked with concern, "Does the president have any more information to add? If not, hurry up and take off the mask. The longer you wear it, the more painful it will be."

"Nothing."

Natsuki Amamiya exhaled softly, removed the Memory Mask from her face, and the memories of the third time loop vanished from her mind in an instant, turning into dust.

"Strange..." Amamiya Natsuki covered her head, "Why does my head hurt so much?"

Fujiwara Chika, hands on her hips, said in a serious tone:

"The president just got hit on the head by a coconut again."

"coconut?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked around. There wasn't even a single coconut tree nearby. How could he possibly have been hit on the head?

"President," Kaguya Shinomiya reminded her, "take a look at your right hand."

"Ok?"

Natsuki Amamiya looked down and saw the Memory Mask in her right hand. She paused for a moment, then quickly recovered and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Is this the fourth playthrough?"

“That’s right.” Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly and handed over the diary in her hand. “President, this is the information you just brought back.”

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze fell on the notebook, and she praised it:

"Your handwriting is so beautiful."

Kaguya Shinomiya blushed slightly: "What the president is seeing is the diary! Don't say strange things!"

After quickly reviewing the information in her notebook, Natsuki Amamiya rubbed her temples and let out a soft sigh:

"I did so much on my third playthrough, it's a pity I was just a little short."

"It's truly a pity," Fujiwara Chika nodded. "President, what do we do now?"

Amamiya Natsuki pondered for a moment and said:

"Let's go behind the reef first, deal with the Shadow Elementary Schooler, complete the prerequisite quests for the dungeon, and then meet up with everyone. We can discuss it together then."

"receive."

"..."

The group arrived behind the rocky beach. With the intelligence from last week's playthrough, they easily dealt with the Shadow Elementary School Student and completed the preliminary mission.

“The transformation time is running out; we need to re-attach the skill.” Amamiya Natsuki turned to Hayasaka. “Give me your right hand.”
