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

"Humph!"

Kitagawa Kaimu puffed out her cheeks, turned her head away, and showed her unhappiness through her actions.

She was the one who started dating him first, but her boyfriend was cheated on. What a failure! What a total failure in life!

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't help but glance at Hayasaka again, her eyes filled with grievance.

I never knew you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were such a sneaky eater. That's too much!

"Huh?" Noticing Haimeng's resentful gaze, Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but feel a little guilty and asked, "Haimeng-chan, what's wrong?"

Kitagawa Kaimu said in a low voice, "What's wrong with me? Hanamori-chan should know very well, right?"

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

Pervert senior!

A blush quickly spread across the spy maid's pretty face. She guiltily turned her face away, glaring at Amamiya Natsuki with a mixture of shame and anger, her eyes questioning:

"You...you actually told someone else?!"

"I didn't, I didn't." Natsuki Amamiya looked extremely innocent. "It's all because we listened to each other's innermost thoughts."

"..."

The senior student ignored her completely and pursed her pink lips as she reminded her:

"I wonder how Yukino and the others are doing now. Should I let them know?"

“We definitely need to inform them.” Natsuki Amamiya nodded, took out her diary, and prepared to communicate with Shoko. “I’ll inform them.”

There was no cell phone signal inside the underground cave. Before Amamiya Natsuki arrived, she copied the notebook skill from Komi-kun, which she could now use to communicate remotely.

"Shoko, are you there?"

Before long, a line of neat handwriting quietly appeared in Natsuki Amamiya's diary.

"I am here."

Natsuki Amamiya: "There's something very important I need to tell Shoko."

Komi-kun: "What is it?"

Natsuki Amamiya: "I like glass."

Komi-kun: "..."

Natsuki Amamiya: "Didn't you see clearly? Let me say it again, I like glass."

Komi-kun: "N-Don't say anymore..."

Natsuki Amamiya: "Does Shoko hate me?"

Quail Girl: "N-No, that's not true."

Natsuki Amamiya: "How much does Shoko like me?"

Quail Girl: "Waaah..."

In the previous playthrough, Natsuki Amamiya confessed to Shoko in front of Shushu. She wrote the details down in her notebook and is now going all out to openly bully the timid girl.

"Shoko? Are you alright?" Zhu Zhu looked up at her with her little face. "Why did your face suddenly turn super red?"

"I, I'm fine..."

Komi quickly shook her head, hurriedly clutching her notebook to her chest. She looked down at her toes, took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then turned the page and picked up her pen to write:

"Xia Shu said that they have completed the task and asked us to come and meet them."

"Yay!" Shayou happily flashed a peace sign, her smile bright. "Let's hurry and meet up with Natsuki-sama!"

"Don't be impulsive." Yukino Yukinoshita stopped Sayu, her tone calm, her bright eyes slightly narrowed as she looked towards the passage. "Wait a little longer... Shoko, have Natsuki move the shadow at the entrance of the cave away."

"Uh-huh."

Komi nodded quickly and wrote the message in her diary.

After a while.

The shadow legion blocking the entrance to the passage quietly retreated, and the girls then crossed the passage and reunited with Amamiya Natsuki and the others.

"Zhu Zhu!"

"Saya-chan!"

After reuniting, they were naturally extremely happy.

With several hours until dawn, the group remained vigilant, staying close to Hiruko-gami to prevent any unforeseen events.

Time slipped away quietly, and finally the last moment arrived.

"elder sister?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Haruno beside her and asked in a low voice.

Yang held up three fingers and answered softly, "There are three minutes left."

"That's good."

Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Natsuki Amamiya and Kaguya had already completed all the dungeon missions, and could have chosen to leave at any time in the previous playthroughs. The reason they stayed was mainly due to Haruno.

As a newbie player, Yang Nai only has one mission in the dungeon: survive for 24 hours.

This task is actually very simple. As long as you don't go to the summer festival at night, buy a swimming ring, and Haruno can drift into the sea by herself and pass the task. There are enough food options from the island's natives and tourists, so it doesn't matter if a few small fish slip through the net.

However, once a player's identity is exposed, leaving Yang Nai alone in the dungeon would mean certain death; she would be caught by the shadows, and the consequences would be unimaginable...

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her pink lips, looked up at Natsuki Amamiya, and whispered:

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya said:

Has anyone ever said that you should express your gratitude sincerely?

Yukino Yukinoshita's pretty face froze, and she crossed her arms over her chest, saying:

Has anyone ever said that taking advantage of someone's kindness is going too far?

Amamiya Natsuki said without changing her expression:

“I think it’s even worse to not repay kindness and just offer verbal thanks.”

“That’s right.” Yukinoshita Haruno leaned closer, her eyes curving into crescents, and said in a clear voice, “Leave the matter of repaying the debt to me. I’m happy to be your fairy godmother.”

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but turn her head to look, biting her lip as she said:

"Sister, don't talk nonsense."

“I’m not making this up.” Yukinoshita Haruno smiled brightly. “I’m telling the truth.”

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a helpless sigh, raised a slender finger, and pressed it against her brow.

Regardless, I will remember this kindness.

Three minutes passed in a flash.

Yukino's eyes lit up, and she raised her hand, saying:

"I received a notification from the game that I have met the requirements to complete the game."

"It can finally be over." Fujiwara Chika happily raised her hands. "The real summer festival, here I come!"

Kitagawa Kaimu smiled brightly as well: "Finally, I beat the game!"

Amamiya Natsuki stood up and said:

"Let's clear the level."

Hiruko-gami looked up and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes." Amamiya Natsuki nodded. "See you again if fate allows."

He had previously tried to recruit Hiruko-shin as an employee, but unfortunately it didn't work out, so they had to part ways. After all, the feelings that Cao Cao had deceived were just false feelings and couldn't be taken seriously.

As the first rays of dawn pierced the darkness, day broke, and the players' figures quietly disappeared into the cave.

A refreshing sea breeze caressed her face. After the dizziness in her mind subsided, Natsuki Amamiya opened her eyes and found herself standing at the bow of the ship, facing a clear blue sky and a shimmering blue sea.

"Cleared it."

Amamiya Natsuki took a deep breath of the fresh sea breeze and turned to look around.

Beside him stood the young lady, the red ribbon she used to tie her hair fluttering gently in the sea breeze.

Beside Kaguya was Chika, the secretary with a jet-black bow tied in her bangs.

Looking further to the right, Chika is next to Haimeng, whose blonde hair reaches her waist.

Then, in order, Hayasaka, Senpai, Shushu, Shoko, Sayu, and the two Yukinoshita sisters stood at the bow of the ship, not one was missing.

"We cleared it! We cleared it!" Fujiwara Chika happily raised her hands above her head, facing the sea. "It's finally over."

"Hey, isn't that Ridu Island over there?" Senior Yanzi's eyes widened as she pointed to a lush green island in the distance. "Hmm...we're on that cruise ship heading to Ridu Island?"

Hayasaka Ai nodded and said, "That's right, it's this ship."

Yang exclaimed softly, "How amazing! Even though we've been here for so long, only a few minutes have passed."

Amamiya Natsuki interjected:

"Would you like to come ashore and play for a while?"

"No."

"I have absolutely no desire to play."

"It has already caused me psychological trauma."

"..."

The girls unanimously rejected the suggestion to revisit the place and decided to leave directly with the cruise ship.

It was noon, and the cruise ship would dock at the shore for an hour. After a brief discussion, everyone decided to disembark and have something to eat first. Then it would be the crew's lunch break and cleaning time, as staying on the ship all the time would be too conspicuous.
