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

When Hayasaka Ai was breathing rapidly and almost couldn't catch her breath, Amamiya Natsuki finally put her down.

Hayasaka Ai took a deep breath and carefully took a step forward. After walking for a while, her steps gradually returned to normal, leaving only a slight abnormality.

Players generally have excellent physical fitness, and their recovery and self-healing abilities far exceed those of ordinary people.

"President, Hanamori-chan, you're back!" Fujiwara Chika greeted them as she opened the door. "Why haven't you sent any messages in so long?"

Because I had absolutely no time to reply to messages.

Natsuki Amamiya answered calmly:

"There was no signal inside the underground cave, and it was very complicated, so it took a little longer."

Hayasaka Ai, equally composed, stretched lazily and walked towards the bathroom, saying:

"It's so hot, I'm going to take a shower first. You can ask the seniors about the situation."

Fujiwara Chika nodded in agreement.

"Hurry up and go, Hanamori-chan, this sticky sweat is so uncomfortable."

Hayasaka Ai paused slightly; her body did feel sticky, but it wasn't necessarily sweat...

“The location of the natural entrance to the cave has been determined.” Amamiya Natsuki sat down on the sofa, took the cold drink handed to her by Haimeng, took two sips, and then said, “The location is quite remote and inconspicuous. Hanamori and I went in to investigate and even saw a shadow guarding inside.”

Kaguya Shinomiya said softly:

"It seems that the four-handed strategy is to play the tortoise tactic."

Hiruko-no-Kami chose to eat today because many tourists will come to the summer festival, and there will be plenty of food. However, it doesn't mean that if he doesn't eat his fill today, he will be hungry. He can wait until next year's summer festival without any problem.

However, players' tasks are time-limited, so they definitely can't stay that long.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Hiruko will be left in the cave by Yotsu, and the summer festival massacre will not occur again in this playthrough.

After Hayasaka Ai finished showering, everyone started having dinner together.

After dinner, it's time to rest.

Of course, it is still unclear whether the four-handed turtling tactic is a feint, and someone is still on guard.

Hayasaka Ai has done a good job going out, so now she just needs to rest.

The spy maid sat on the sofa, hugging a cushion, watching TV absentmindedly, but her mind kept replaying the events that had occurred on the ship.

Can not forget.

Such an important thing can never be forgotten in a lifetime.

But... why does this seem a little different from the experience of writing my own essay?

Hayasaka Ai was puzzled.

Because she had no memory of last week's game, Hayasaka Ai couldn't quite put her finger on what was different, so she had to put it aside for the time being and then thought of something else.

I'm not sure if I can finish the game this time. It would be great if I could, but if not... should I write another short essay for my next playthrough?

Once the thought took hold, Hayasaka Ai found herself unable to stop.

She was never a conventional person; to be precise, she was more of a mischievous devil, and the thought of digging her own grave made her quite happy.

Decided!

Write it now.

The guy from last week's playthrough messed with me. It was incredibly painful at first, and I wasn't happy at all. I guess it's okay if I mess with myself in the next playthrough?

"Wait a minute...!!"

Hayasaka Ai suddenly opened her eyes wide.

The me from last time was still me. If it was just for a twisted sense of humor... no, no way?

impossible!

I would never let myself get myself into trouble!

Hayasaka Ai quickly shook her head, banishing the thoughts from her mind, and secretly began writing a short essay.

Before we knew it, it was 8:30 p.m.

Just as Hayasaka Ai finished writing, she saw Amamiya Natsuki stand up and say:

"Just to be on the safe side, I think it's still necessary to go for a walk in the mountains to avoid the situation where they are secretly using underhanded tactics."

“The president is right.” Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly. “It is indeed necessary to go up the mountain to take a look.”

Fujiwara Chika stood up and said:

"Shall we all go have some fun together?"

“Sending so many people would be too conspicuous,” Natsuki Amamiya said, shaking her head. “It’s just a simple reconnaissance. It’s unlikely that Four Hands will leave Turtle Cave, so Hanamori and I can go alone.”

Only Hayasaka Ai has the transformation skill, so it's perfectly reasonable and makes no mistake for the two of them to conduct reconnaissance together.

No one doubted Amamiya Natsuki's suggestion, except for one person who knew his true purpose...

"Pervert senior!!"

Hayasaka's heart raced, and her pretty face flushed red.

"Reconnaissance" is just an excuse; you clearly want to do something bad, don't you?

That's for sure!

Amamiya Natsuki turned to Hayasaka and said seriously:

"Let's not delay, change your clothes, and we can set off."

"……hateful!"

Since it was a legitimate reconnaissance mission, Hayasaka Ai had no reason to refuse. She could only grit her teeth, change her clothes, and then, with everyone reminding her to be careful, walk out the door with Amamiya Natsuki.

"Senior pervert, what do you mean?"

After leaving the villa in the woods, Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Natsuki Amamiya looked innocent: "I didn't mean anything by it."

Hayasaka Ai gave a disdainful look: "Whether it's interesting or not, you know perfectly well!"

Amamiya Natsuki grasped the spy maid's right hand and smiled:

"It didn't mean anything by it, but if you put it that way, I'll feel bad."

"Pooh!"

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki didn't immediately bully the maid; scouting the enemy's situation on the mountain was the top priority.

The two, posing as tourists, held hands and mingled into the summer festival, acting like an ordinary couple, eating, drinking, and having fun.

Before we knew it, it was nine o'clock in the evening.

Tourists thronged the area, and pedestrians were bustling about; the Shadow Massacre from the previous playthroughs did not occur.

Ten more minutes passed.

The shadow still did not appear.

"It seems those shadows aren't leaving the cave..." Hayasaka Ai took a bite of her candied apple and whispered, "That's enough for the reconnaissance, Perverted President, shall we go back?"

"We can definitely go back now."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded, took Hayasaka's hand, and walked down the mountain.

"Eh?"

Hayasaka Ai was slightly taken aback.

You actually went back just because you said you'd go back?

impossible.

They're definitely up to no good!

Hayasaka Ai gave a soft hum, ready to see what tricks Amamiya Natsuki would pull.

In the blink of an eye, we reached the foot of the mountain.

Hayasaka Ai was surprised to see Amamiya Natsuki leading her towards the villa.

They actually went back obediently?

It's unbelievable that the lecherous student council president is so honest!

However... there will be a final battle at midnight, so it's normal to conserve energy now.

However, after walking for a short while, Hayasaka Ai noticed that Amamiya Natsuki's feet had veered off the path.

"Wait a minute." Hayasaka Ai put on a stern face. "Did the student council president go the wrong way?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked around, a puzzled expression on her face, and then said:

"It seems I went the wrong way... Now I have to admit that I have no sense of direction."

"Pooh!"

Hayasaka Ai blushed and spat lightly.

Excuse!

You were never bad at directions before, but suddenly you've become terrible at them. I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it!

"I think I'm lost," Natsuki Amamiya said seriously. "Don't worry, let's find our way back first."

Hayasaka Ai remarked:

"I'm not lost. Senior pervert, you can find it by yourself."

Despite verbally refusing, the spy maid's body was quite obedient; she didn't break free from Amamiya Natsuki's hand and let him lead her forward.

“No.” Amamiya Natsuki said seriously, “We came out together, so of course we have to go back together.”

Hayasaka Ai felt her face flush and her heart race involuntarily. Of course, she knew what Amamiya Natsuki wanted to do, so she turned her face away and said:

"If we go back too late, the young lady will definitely become suspicious."
