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

"..."

The paper towel demon glanced frantically out the window, then shook its head repeatedly.

"answer my question."

Natsuki Amamiya held up the toilet plunger in her hand.

However, faced with the threat of biological weapons, the evil spirit girl continued to shake her head, her expression filled with fear, and she would occasionally cast panicked glances out the window.

"Is it that you're unwilling to talk about it, or that you're unable to talk about it?"

Following the other person's gaze, Amamiya Natsuki looked outside, silently memorizing the location, and then asked:

Who owns the spider silk?

"..."

The evil spirit girl's body trembled violently, and she shook her head frantically again, covering her mouth tightly with her other hand, her expression terrified.

"Then I'll watch it myself."

Amamiya Natsuki hesitated for two seconds, then used Miko's [Advanced Spirit Vision] ability.

So far, he still hasn't seen any spider silk.

The most terrifying attacks are those that are unseen. In any case, we must first see the existence of the 'spider web' before we can think of a solution.

My eyes felt slightly warm.

When Natsuki Amamiya opened her eyes again, she finally saw the so-called spider silk clearly.

It was a spider silk formed from black mist of resentment, not a physical object, capable of penetrating buildings and windows—the black spider passed through the window without any hindrance, disappearing into the head of the paper towel evil spirit, while the other end of the spider silk extended into the darkness.

Amamiya Natsuki did not act rashly. The spider silk of resentment seemed to have a splitting effect. He took out a magic rope, first tied up the paper towel evil spirit, and then walked to the window and looked outside.

The night was dark.

A blood moon hung high in the night sky.

Amamiya Natsuki squinted, carefully observing the trajectory of the resentment spider silk. Fortunately, the spider silk did not twist and turn, but extended straight towards a building in the night.

“That direction…” Natsuki Amamiya recalled the outline of the school she had seen at the school gate in her mind, “Was that the gymnasium?”

Turning her gaze away, Amamiya Natsuki dragged the evil spirit girl out of the restroom.

"President, are you out?"

Kaguya Shinomiya's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the evil spirit girl.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"It was the tissues they gave us from next door."

"It really is an evil spirit!" The middle school girl, dangling in mid-air and swaying precariously, suddenly widened her eyes. "Luckily, I reacted in time and didn't take the tissue it offered!"

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya cast a subtle glance at him.

You didn't bring any tissues, nor did you have any tissues to receive evil spirits, so you came out right after using the restroom?

The junior high school girl actually understood what Amamiya Natsuki was looking at. Her face quickly turned red. She stammered and wanted to explain, but after thinking about it again, she quickly gave up and became dejected.

Desperate.

There's no point in explaining anymore... We've already run naked in front of the senior, our lives are already doomed!

"The paper towel demon is probably a controlled predatory puppet..."

Natsuki Amamiya recounted in detail what happened in the restroom.

"Spider silk?"

Kaguya Shinomiya subconsciously looked up at the top of the paper towel spirit and the middle school girl's head, but unfortunately, it was empty and she couldn't see anything.

“The potion didn’t work,” Natsuki Amamiya shook her head. “I was able to see the spider silk because I used Miko’s spiritual vision.”

Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips and whispered:

"It's been almost ten minutes since I broke free from the spider silk's control, and the evil spirit behind it hasn't appeared yet. It seems that breaking free won't attract its attention... Let's rescue Hanamaru first."

"N-no, that's right." The little girl, swaying in mid-air, hurriedly said pitifully, "The rope is so tight, seniors, please save me quickly."

"Keep quiet," Natsuki Amamiya ordered, then took out a fire axe and looked at the paper towel demon, saying, "Let's try it first."

Seeing Amamiya Natsuki take out an axe, the evil spirit girl trembled with fear, deeply regretting that she had let Amamiya Natsuki choose tissues.

With a flick of her wrist, Natsuki Amamiya swung the fire axe across the head of the evil spirit girl.

"Is it no use?"

Seeing Amamiya Natsuki frown, the young lady asked softly.

Amamiya Natsuki put away her axe and said:

"It really didn't work; the spider silk is still there."

The spider silk is of unknown material; it is invisible and intangible to ordinary people. Even a fire axe, which can harm evil spirits, was used to cut it, but it had no effect.

“Generally speaking, spider silk in real life is afraid of fire,” Kaguya Shinomiya suggested, arms crossed. “Why don’t you try it with fire, President?”

"Then let's give it a try."

Amamiya Natsuki thought for a moment and took out a box of ordinary matches.

Spider silk is a very special thing; ordinary flames may not be very effective. Since you're going to burn it, you should use a different kind of flame.

Natsuki Amamiya opened the matchbox, inside which were neatly arranged bright red matches, all painstakingly made by the little girl.

snort~

After lighting a match, an orange flame immediately ignited, and a special power that warmed hearts and soothed emotions emerged, making everyone feel exceptionally warm. Even the evil spirit girl on the ground softened her expression.

Natsuki Amamiya held up a match and held it above the head of the evil spirit girl. The warm flame flickered gently and quickly burned through the spider silk above the girl's head.

“It worked.” Amamiya Natsuki’s eyes lit up. “It’s burned through.”

Upon hearing this, the junior high school girl immediately started swaying: "Me too! Me too!"

"Don't rush," Kaguya Shinomiya said softly. "Observe it first to see if there's anything unusual."

"..."

Under the watchful eyes of Natsuki Amamiya and Kaguya, the evil spirit girl trembled.

A minute passed.

Two minutes passed.

Three minutes later...

"It seems there shouldn't be any problems." Kaguya Shinomiya breathed a sigh of relief. "President, please put Hanamaru down."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded, lowered the middle school student who was hanging in mid-air, and then used a match to burn off the spider silk above the student's head.

"Waaah..." The junior high school girl's head kept turning, her eyes brimming with excitement, "My body finally won't move around anymore."

Kaguya Shinomiya walked over to the middle school student, untied the magic rope, and then said:

"Get up first."

Natsuki Amamiya continued interrogating the evil spirit girl.

"Is the place where the spider silk owner is located in a stadium?"

Seeing the bloodstained axe in Amamiya Natsuki's hand, the evil spirit girl wisely nodded obediently.

Natsuki Amamiya asked again:

"Are all the humans who accidentally wandered into the school located in the gymnasium?"

“Yes, that’s right…”

The evil spirit girl wasn't very intelligent; she started speaking haltingly, her words incoherent and disjointed. Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya pieced together the information and arrived at the truth.

An incredibly powerful being resides within the academy—the master of the spider silk. Besides it, there are ordinary evil spirits like it. The school is so large that it's impossible for it to be the only evil spirit. However, all the evil spirits are controlled by this terrifying being using spider silk. The spider silk can split, and any unlucky soul who enters through the Gate of Despair will have their body controlled by the spider silk if they are touched by the evil spirits, and then they will walk into the gymnasium on their own.

As for what's inside the stadium, or what the true nature of the terrifying being is, the evil spirit girl has no idea.

Having squeezed the last drop of value from the evil spirit girl, Natsuki Amamiya waved her hand and said:

"You can go back."

The evil spirit girl scrambled and stumbled back to the bathroom in a sorry state.

"The school is so quiet because everyone's been taken to the gymnasium." Natsuki Amamiya looked at the young lady. "I don't know if Chika and Moeha are at this school, but I have to go check on them no matter what..."

“Let’s go together.” Kaguya Shinomiya stepped forward and stood beside Natsuki Amamiya, calmly saying, “The president said that the spider silk is all above everyone’s heads, right?”

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"That seems to be the case at present."

Kaguya Shinomiya extended her right hand and said:

"Give me a box of matches, just in case."

"it is good."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded, dispelling the idea of ​​exploring the stadium alone, and took out a box of matches, handing it to the young lady.

It's actually good to act together as a couple; if something happens, you can look out for each other.

"As for Hanamaru..."

Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at the middle school girl.

"Don't leave me, senior!" The junior high school girl panicked immediately. "I want to go with you, senior!"

Natsuki Amamiya said expressionlessly:

"The stadium is definitely very dangerous; you can find a corner to hide in."

"No, no, no!" The junior high school girl quickly shook her head. "I don't want to be alone, I want to go with the older students!"

The middle school girl clasped her hands to her chest, took a deep breath, and said nervously:

"If we really encounter danger, you can use me as you please. You can throw me out as bait to create opportunities for your seniors!"

I didn't realize you were so insightful!
