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

"Once we successfully activate the Nightmare Theater, it becomes our stage."

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out:

"What if the theater fails to open?"

Natsuki Amamiya looked at Zhu Zhu in the direction of the voice and waved her hand, saying:

“Zhu Zhu, come here, I’ll give you a little boost of confidence.”

"Pooh!"

"..."

Chapter 611 Maid-chan's Silent Night

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

sunset.

The sunset was golden.

The shimmering sea surface sparkles with golden light, its still reflection like a jade disc.

"Still haven't seen a single shadow." Fujiwara Chika put her right hand on her hip. "It seems that Four-Handed is determined to play the coward."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"A turtle that cowers in the dark may be shameful, but it is indeed very useful."

To kill the Four Hands, you must go to the underground cave, which is an enemy stronghold that has never been explored. You can imagine how dangerous it is to fight on someone else's home turf.

Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms and whispered:

"Before that, we need to find a new way to enter the underground cavern... Forget about the passageways of the two hospitals, we can think of that, and so can they."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded and said:

“There are bound to be shadowy figures lurking in both passages; entering rashly would be extremely dangerous.”

Kitagawa Kaimu raised his hand and said:

"Didn't the information the guild leader brought back from the third playthrough mention that there's a natural entrance to an underground cave beneath the cliffs of the island? Could we go in from there?"

“It should be possible.” Amamiya Natsuki nodded. “When I shared this information in last playthrough, it was most likely because I shared the same idea as Hai Meng.”

The senior student said softly:

"Then we need to scout out the location beforehand."

"Very good." Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at her senior and gave her a thumbs up in praise. "You're getting more and more used to your identity as a member of the underworld."

Zi'an Yan blushed and couldn't help but scold him:

"Don't smugly claim to be a criminal gang!"

"..."

The information Natsuki Amamiya brought back from last week's run did not include the exact location of the cave entrance, so they had to scout the location beforehand.

“I remember seeing small boats available for rent at the dock before,” Natsuki Amamiya said after thinking for a moment. “It seems they can only carry two people. You guys stay here, and Hanamori and I will go together.”

Hayasaka Ai agreed, her voice clear and crisp:

"Leave it to me and my senior."

"..."

The discussion is complete.

Amamiya Natsuki and Hayasaka Ai wasted no time, quickly replacing the two passersby tourists, and then headed to the pier.

The island has a thriving tourism industry, and it was evening, with many small tourist boats moored along the shore.

Natsuki Amamiya walked up to an old man, subtly stepping on his shadow on the ground. When the man didn't react, she said:

"We'd like to rent a small pleasure boat, and we need something quiet..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old man smiled knowingly and waved his hand, saying:

"Please follow me, gentlemen. We happen to have a boat that meets your requirements."

Amamiya Natsuki and Hayasaka Ai followed, and soon arrived at a small boat.

The old man introduced it kindly:

"This type of boat is very popular with couples. You can take whatever you want from inside. The price is 15,000 yen for the first two hours, and an additional 2,000 yen for each hour thereafter. You two can take a look first."

After hearing the introduction, Natsuki Amamiya curiously looked into the boat, and was immediately speechless.

Why would a mattress be stuffed inside a small boat?

And what about all those strange and unusual items?

Your cruise ship is anything but proper!

No wonder it's so popular with couples and spouses; they're probably just looking for the thrill of boat sex!

Hayasaka Ai also clearly saw the objects inside the cabin. As if struck by a thought, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered:

"Senior, how about we switch to another ship?"

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

"That's it."

"what?"

"The tourists we're replacing now are a couple; we can't let anyone suspect anything."

"A liar will swallow a thousand needles."

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya readily accepted the money, then took the keys from the old man, learned the basic boat-driving skills and precautions, asked about the location of the island's coastal cliffs, marked it on the map, and then turned to wave to Ai Hayasaka:

"Xiao Ai, hurry up and get on the boat."

"whispering sound."

Hayasaka Ai pursed her pink lips and stepped onto the small boat.

Amamiya Natsuki started the small boat with the key and sailed out to sea at a leisurely pace.

The setting sun cast a golden glow.

The small boat pushed through the waves, leaving a small patch of white spray behind it.

"Pervert senior, please have some self-respect." After boarding the ship, the two deactivated their transformation effects, revealing their true forms. Hayasaka Ai covered her chest with her hands and said, "Don't think that just because the two of you are alone, you can do whatever you want. You can't do that kind of thing."

As Amamiya Natsuki steered the boat, she said:

"You said you couldn't, but you still came up, didn't you?"

Hayasaka Ai: "It was all because of those perverted seniors who forced me onto their ship."

Natsuki Amamiya: "Don't smear my reputation."

"whispering sound."

"..."

Of course, Natsuki Amamiya wouldn't bully Hayasaka.

In real life, the two of them might not be able to resist each other on vacation, but with a major threat looming, they really don't have the mind to think about such things.

The two chatted as they searched for the cave entrance on the sea, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

“Senior, look over there.” Hayasaka Ai suddenly pointed and whispered, “It looks like a cave entrance.”

Amamiya Natsuki squinted and looked over, then whispered:

"Saw."

This area is full of strange rocks and steep cliffs, and there are no traces of human presence or footprints. However, at the bottom of the cliffs near the sea, a dark natural cave entrance can be seen.

"Let's go take a look." Amamiya Natsuki turned the boat around and headed towards the cave entrance.

They soon arrived near the cave entrance.

Amamiya Natsuki turned off the engine, pulled out the key, picked up the rope, tied the small boat to a stone pillar on the shore, and then jumped off the boat with Hayasaka Ai and came ashore.

Beneath our feet lies a small patch of soft white sand, washed by the sea over the years. Many seashells and starfish can be seen there. Sensing the approach of humans, many hermit crabs hurriedly get up and run away.

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"Wait for me outside, I'll go in and take a look."

The information obtained last week only stated that there was an entrance to the cave below the cliff, but the exact location was unknown, so we had to go in to investigate and confirm the location.

"What nonsense are you talking about, President?" Hayasaka Ai put her right hand on her hip and turned away. "Of course we're going in together. It's more dangerous to leave me out alone, isn't it?"

Amamiya Natsuki said softly:

"The situation inside is unknown..."

"Stop arguing and hurry up and drink the potion." Hayasaka Ai took out a bottle of witch's potion, gulped it down, and said, "Just to be safe, don't use the flashlight. Let's drink the potion."

"Ok."

Amamiya Natsuki also took out a potion, tilted her head back and drank it, then took out a Shadow Cloak, handed it to Hayasaka, and whispered:

"Here's the cloak. I have a stealth ability that I copied from Yukino."

"..."

Hayasaka Ai did not refuse, and accepted the cloak with her pink lips pursed. She couldn't help but recall her experience when she first entered the dungeon.

That instance was the Ghost Ship. I hid in a cloak with Natsuki Amamiya back then, but we weren't close yet. Even though we were hiding together, we would deliberately keep our distance. Now... I've already been in close proximity to him in my previous playthrough!

Hayasaka Ai quickly shook her head, banishing the short essay she had written from her mind, then put on her cloak and whispered:

"Let's go in."

"..."

Because it was a naturally formed cave entrance, the path was quite difficult as you went deeper into the cave, with loose rocks on the ground and stalactites hanging everywhere overhead. Fortunately, the player was in good physical condition and managed to pass through quietly.
