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

"Ah... oh."

Hayasaka Ai seemed to have just come to her senses, as if waking from a dream, and stretched out her right hand. Her eyes met Amamiya Natsuki's, and her pretty face involuntarily turned red.

"Why is your face so red?" Natsuki Amamiya asked with concern. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm perfectly healthy." Hayasaka Ai turned her head away. "Stop nagging, senpai."

Now, even simple hand-holding, hugging, or kissing can no longer make Hayasaka Ai blush.

The spy maid's pretty face flushed crimson, and the truth behind her occasional absent-mindedness was only one—

First Experience Diary.

To be precise, it was diary entries mixed in with the notebook that had absolutely nothing to do with intelligence.

"Hello, my next timeline! To prevent forgetting everything after a time reset, I've decided after careful consideration to record the whole experience—such an important thing as my first experience is something I can't forget!"

My first time?!

Hayasaka Ai still clearly remembers the shock and shame she felt when she first saw that first experience diary.

This is a dangerous dungeon space, and the location for my first experience is terrible!

"It all started at the shrine... The president shielded me from a bullet, getting shot in the back... After the young lady and Chika left, it was just the president and me... I asked him to share the pain with me, but he refused, saying he was stubborn. He even got angry, saying there was a place even tougher than his mouth. I scoffed, saying I wouldn't believe him unless I tried it myself... Then the president went berserk... Aside from the initial pain, it was actually incredibly pleasurable afterwards... We tried many positions... like this... like that..."

Are you an idiot?

I must have been an idiot last time!

Hayasaka Ai bit her lower lip, wanting to deny the contents of the paper, but there was nothing wrong with the tone, handwriting, or even the little habits.

Without a doubt, the author of "First Experience Diary" is himself from last time.

So... he and the president really did that kind of thing?

Even if he hadn't taken the bullet for her, he probably wouldn't have refused, as long as he kept it a secret from the young lady... The problem is, if he experiences it again later, wouldn't he have to suffer twice?

"Hanamori-chan?" Fujiwara Chika waved her hand and said, "Why are you spacing out again?"

"I'm fine." Hayasaka Ai snapped out of her reverie, quickly banishing the terrible images from her mind. Of course, she couldn't voice the reason for her distraction. "Let's go quickly."

Skill pasting complete.

The group took on the identities of ordinary tourists and soon reunited with Hai Meng and the others.

"Chika-chan!"

"Xukino-chan!"

"Junior, you said we're in our fourth playthrough now?"

"..."

After everyone reunited, they went to a secluded corner, where Chika recounted her experience during the third playthrough.

"Time has actually restarted again." The senior student pressed her temples. "I have absolutely no memory of it."

Shayu's eyes sparkled, without the slightest doubt, trusting Amamiya Natsuki completely: "It's all thanks to Natsuki-sama, otherwise we wouldn't know anything."

Kitagawa Kaimu asked with concern:

"How long have you been wearing the mask, Natsuki? Does your head still hurt?"

"I don't know." Amamiya Natsuki squinted. "Anyway, I got hit by a coconut and lost my memory again."

Fujiwara Chika raised her chin:

"Hey~"

After the intelligence was recorded, everyone quickly got down to business.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"The effects of the Prime Minister's possession ability will most likely not last until the fourth playthrough. In other words, everything will have to start from scratch again."

“Not only that,” Kaguya Shinomiya said softly, her arms crossed, “but with the time restart effect, we can’t use the same trick a second time.”

Yukinoshita Yukino said calmly:

"Going to a shrine now is either a trap or it's deserted."

Kitagawa Kaimu held up one finger and guessed:

"Could that four-handed man be sending people looking for us?"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Four-Handed was looking for us last time, but with his transformation ability, it's clear he couldn't find us."

Zhu Zhu raised her little face and said:

"Could that guy activate his shadow clones and carry out a massacre to wipe out everyone on the island?"

"Eh? Battle Royale?" Fujiwara Chika was startled. "That guy wouldn't be that crazy, would he?"

Amamiya Natsuki disagreed, shaking her head and saying:

"I think what Zhu Zhu said is possible. As a pervert, he is capable of anything."

"stare--"

The girls all looked at him.

Amamiya Natsuki put on a stern face and said, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"The chairman understands."

"Yes."

"Perverted president."

"..."

Of course, speculation alone could not provide an answer. The group did not waste too much time and quickly set off to do the prerequisite quests for the dungeon.

The whole process went exceptionally smoothly, without any danger encountered.

"Strange," Fujiwara Chika said, puzzled. "It's been so long, how come we haven't encountered a single person?"

"It's really weird."

Amamiya Natsuki squinted, already prepared for an island battle royale, but not a single person appeared.

At that moment, Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly whispered:

"We could investigate those shadows that replaced humans and see if they have disappeared."

“That makes sense.” Hayasaka Ai nodded in agreement. “It really should be investigated.”

"Be careful," Natsuki Amamiya said. "Come over here and paste the skill here first."

"..."

The transformation skill has been applied; now it's time for the investigation.

Regarding the shadow identities that replaced humans, the group had already gathered a lot of information in the previous playthrough, making their investigation quite targeted.

then……

"President, the shadow police on the island have disappeared."

"President, the shadow head nurse in the hospital has also disappeared."

"The shadow employee at the shrine has also disappeared."

"..."

Just to be on the safe side, the group did not split up, but now it seems that this caution was unnecessary.

The head nurse, the shadow staff at the shrine, and all the shadows we had encountered before seemed to have vanished into thin air; they had all disappeared without a trace.

“Shadows don’t just disappear into thin air.” Amamiya Natsuki interlaced her fingers, pressed them against her brow, and said in a deep voice, “They must have been summoned.”

Kaguya Shinomiya said softly:

"Underground caves".

"Ah, I know!" Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up and she quickly said, "It's Four Hands! He summoned all the shadows on the island to the underground cave!"

The other girls also gradually realized what was happening.

The senior student pursed her pink lips and said softly:

"So... Four Hands has chosen a defensive strategy?"

"What the hell?" Kitagawa Kaimu put her hands on her hips and couldn't help but complain, "He's clearly the dungeon boss, but he's hiding in the cave and won't come out. It's so embarrassing."

“I don’t think it’s a big deal.” Hayasaka Ai said quite calmly. “We’ve already killed the Four Hands three times. Choosing to stay put is actually the safest option.”

Yukino Yukinoshita said softly:

"Four Hands knew that our mission had a time limit, so they were both hiding and stalling for time."

"..."

Contrary to Zhu Zhu's guess, Si Shou did not choose to start the island battle royale, but instead chose the other extreme - the tortoise tactic.

The main body and its two clones all hid in an underground cavern and summoned all the shadows on the island to protect them closely. It seemed cowardly to the point of being speechless, but after careful consideration, it must be said that the tortoise tactic is indeed extremely difficult to break.

This is like an ancient siege; if one side is determined to stay put and not leave, the other side really has no way to quickly conquer it.

Everyone frowned and pondered a solution, but unfortunately, they couldn't come up with one.

At this moment, Natsuki Amamiya suddenly spoke, her tone confident:

"The 'turtle' tactic is actually more advantageous to us."

"Huh?" The girls all looked over. "What is the student council president saying?"

Amamiya Natsuki said softly:

"Since Four Hands has chosen to retreat, then we'll see midnight."

"Huh, Nightmare Theater?"

The girls quickly understood what Natsuki Amamiya meant. In the previous playthroughs, they hadn't even waited until midnight before Hiruko kept restarting time, leaving them no chance to activate the Nightmare Theater.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:
