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

Amamiya Natsuki's expression turned solemn as she said:

"No problem at all."

"..."

The president is such a coward!

Kaguya Shinomiya gritted her teeth in anger, clenched her fists, and turned to leave.

The deadline is the end of summer vacation. Before that, I must defeat that yandere and get the president's first experience!

Silent all night.

the next day.

After waking up in the morning, the girls returned to their respective rooms to wash up and left in the blink of an eye, leaving only Amamiya Natsuki alone in her empty room.

Natsuki Amamiya looked down at the bed and saw the various colors of hair scattered on it. She couldn't help but sigh. Even the prettiest girls lose hair. Luckily, she didn't have OCD, otherwise she would have spent ages picking up the hair.

after an hour.

The group gathered at the hotel entrance to begin their summer festival journey.

Japan's summer festivals are diverse, colorful, and varied, taking place from early July to late August each year, basically covering the entire summer. The Kyushu Sea has a wide variety of islands, large and small, and almost every day an island holds a festival.

However, today is the last day of our Kyushu trip. We'll have one more day to play, and then we can return to Tokyo tomorrow. Everyone has their own things to do, and even though it's summer vacation, we can't stay in Kyushu forever. When the girls chose their festival trip this morning, they decided to go to Fukuoka so they could catch the fireworks display in the evening.

Natsuki Amamiya didn't have any particular expectations for the summer festival. Anyone who has actually experienced a summer festival knows that it's hot and crowded.

In the sweltering summer heat, when you'll sweat even if you just stand still, going to a crowded celebration means that, to put it bluntly, by the time you get back to the hotel after a day of sightseeing, even your underwear will be soaked with sweat.

However, the girls were all exceptionally enthusiastic, so he naturally wouldn't stay cooped up in the hotel.

After arriving in Fukuoka by Shinkansen, it was time for the festival. Everyone took photos and participated in the summer festival, and before they knew it, it was evening.

"call……"

While the girls were buying yukatas, Natsuki Amamiya sat on a bench in front of the shop, facing the sea, feeling relaxed and content.

The so-called summer festival is all about eating, drinking, and having fun. You might even encounter evil spirits lurking in the crowd from time to time. Fortunately, it didn't trigger any new dungeon quests or new ghost stories.

"President, we're out."

The crisp sound drifted into my ears on the evening breeze.

Amamiya Natsuki opened her eyes and turned her head to look. She saw Kaguya and the others filing out. Each girl had changed into a yukata, in various colors such as pink, white, purple, and blue. In short, they looked absolutely gorgeous.

"Hehe~" Kitagawa Kaimu raised her chin and twirled around in front of Amamiya Natsuki. "Natsuki, how's this yukata?"

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

"I'm sorry, I'm colorblind."

"Eh?"

"I can't tell the difference between blue and green, and I can't tell if the yukata is pretty or not," Natsuki Amamiya said, taking out her phone. "But Umimu is super pretty."

"hey-hey."

The succubus girl smiled brightly, raised her chin triumphantly, and looked quite happy.

"Let's go!" Fujiwara Chika pointed and said in a clear voice, "To the beach for the fireworks festival!"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Not having dinner?"

Senior Sister Yanzi raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, her bright eyes sparkling as she softly said:

"You can eat it at the fireworks festival."

"Makes sense."

The group walked together toward the sea.

Click click click.

Natsuki Amamiya followed behind the girls, occasionally raising her phone to take pictures from different angles.

"President, stop taking pictures." Kaguya Shinomiya gently scolded her, "Hurry up."

"You're here." Amamiya Natsuki walked up to the young lady. "What I took wasn't actually a photograph."

Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her beautiful lips and asked:

"what is that?"

Natsuki Amamiya raised her phone and showed the photo to Kaguya: "It's an incredibly precious and beautiful memory."

"Hmm..." The young lady crossed her arms and looked at everyone in the photo, then put on a serious face and said, "It seems the president has quite a few fond memories."

Natsuki Amamiya quietly changed the subject, saying:

"Would you like some candied apple?"

"I'm not eating it." Kaguya Shinomiya snapped at him, "That kind of thing is simply inconvenient to eat in real life."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Just open your mouth a little wider."

Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but retort:

"No way, that would be too embarrassing!"

Candied apples are a must-have at summer festivals, but in reality, they're only good for taking pictures and not for eating. Such a big apple coated in red syrup is really inconvenient to eat.

The sun has set, and twilight has fallen.

As night fell, the beach became even more lively, with crowds surging and jostling each other.

While Natsuki Amamiya was talking to Kaguya for a short while, the other girls were swallowed up by the crowd and disappeared into the throng.

"Huh?" Kaguya Shinomiya looked around. "Where is everyone else?"

"There are too many people." Amamiya Natsuki extended her right hand and said seriously, "Give me your hand, so you don't get lost too."

Kaguya Shinomiya turned her pretty face away and snorted softly:

"No need, I won't get lost."

"That's not necessarily true." Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward and gently took the young lady's hand. "Didn't the others get lost?"

Kaguya Shinomiya's pretty face flushed slightly. She struggled symbolically for a moment, but when she couldn't break free, she let Natsuki Amamiya lead her forward.

Amamiya Natsuki inquired:

Has Kaguya ever participated in a summer festival before?

Amidst the bustling crowds at the beach, Natsuki Amamiya held hands with the young lady, and the two walked side by side.

Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips, thought for a moment, and shook her head, saying:

"I have never participated."

As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, she has had endless things to learn every day since she can remember: flower arranging, tea ceremony, etiquette, piano... She only has servants and attendants around her, no relatives. The summer festival is an exceptionally distant celebration for her, as if it were a celebration in two different worlds.

"Actually, yes, there is." Mrs. Kaguya appeared out of nowhere and said with a smile, "When little Kaguya was very, very young and still wetting the bed, I took little Kaguya to the summer festival."

"mom!"

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at him shyly, then put on a stern face and said, "President, quickly seal Mommy inside the shadow!"

Why did you have to bring up bedwetting as a child in front of the student council president?

"That's so...so unfair..." Mrs. Kaguya covered her face with her hands, looking pitiful. "To be alone with the boy she likes, little Kaguya doesn't even want her mother anymore."

The young lady was both embarrassed and angry: "Mom, how dare you say that!"

Amamiya Natsuki chimed in from the side:

"Sister Aya, that's enough, or I'll listen to Kaguya."

"I'm not saying anything more." Mrs. Kaguya turned and slipped away. "You guys have fun. Since little Kaguya doesn't have any memories of her childhood, then Natsuki should take her around properly. Don't get lost, okay?"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"give it to me."

"..."

After Kaguya disappeared from sight, Natsuki Amamiya turned to look at the young lady and made a decision:

"Since we haven't tried any of these at the summer festival, let's try them all... Let's start by catching goldfish."

"Want to scoop up goldfish?"

Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips and looked at the goldfish scooping stall not far away.

Several large plastic basins were placed on the ground, filled with colorful goldfish. Many children were playing around them. Kaguya Shinomiya hesitated and said:

"Isn't that a game for little kids?"

Amamiya Natsuki led the young lady away, casually remarking:

“In Nara Prefecture, a goldfish scooping contest is held every August, attracting tens of thousands of participants from all over the country, almost all of whom are adults. The champion of the goldfish scooping contest can be admitted to university as a special admissions student, so it’s not just a children’s game.”

The two arrived at the spot where they were scooping goldfish. Kaguya Shinomiya covered her chest with one hand and the hem of her yukata with the other, and squatted down.

Natsuki Amamiya bought a fishing net from the stall owner.

"Here you go." Amamiya Natsuki handed the net to the young lady and explained from the side, "This net is made of glutinous rice and is easy to break. When scooping, try not to soak it in the water for too long, and combine fast and slow movements."

"I see."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly, holding a glass bowl in her left hand and a net in her right, and began her first experience of catching goldfish with great curiosity.

then……

puff.

The paper fishing net breaks at the slightest touch.

Kaguya Shinomiya frowned slightly: "It's broken already?"

“It’s normal to do it the first time.” Natsuki Amamiya handed over another paper net. “You’ll get the hang of it after a few tries.”

Kaguya Shinomiya let out a soft breath and took the paper scoop net.
