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

"..."

After a while.

A young lady dressed in pajamas quietly slipped over.

"excuse me."

Kaguya Shinomiya was still thinking about what happened yesterday, so after using the restroom, she prepared to go back.

"Little Kaguya, don't go!" Mrs. Kaguya cried pitifully. "I'm so bored, little Kaguya, why don't you keep Mommy company and talk to her?"

Kaguya Shinomiya said softly:

"We can talk about it tomorrow."

“It’s already the second day,” Mrs. Kaguya said, hands on her hips. “And look outside, it’s already dawn.”

Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."

"Xiaoxia, can you still sleep?"

Mrs. Kaguya turned her head and asked.

Natsuki Amamiya spoke frankly:

"He probably can't sleep."

As players' physical abilities continue to improve, their sleep time gradually decreases. Now that they've woken up around 5 a.m., they're basically unable to fall back asleep.

Kaguya Shinomiya hesitated for a moment, then said softly:

"What does Mom want to say?"

"I have so much to say." Mrs. Kaguya raised her hand to cover her mouth. "This is mother-daughter talk time, Natsuki, don't eavesdrop."

Natsuki Amamiya gazed at the scene silently.

"Then I'll go?"

"Go, go," Mrs. Kaguya waved her hand and said, "Natsuki, hurry up and go."

Amamiya Natsuki turned around and said:

"Farewell, I'm going to Qianhua's room."

She had only taken half a step when her arm was grabbed. Kaguya Shinomiya said expressionlessly:

"If the president goes out looking like this, someone will call the police, right?"

“I don’t think so,” Natsuki Amamiya retorted. “I saw a news report the other day about a couple who were murdered in their hotel in Bali, Indonesia. The man was found struggling and crawling in the corridor for more than 20 minutes, and the hotel manager was still looking for a wheelchair. He didn’t even know what the emergency number was.”

"..."

Now it's time for some small talk.

Natsuki Amamiya, the young lady, and Mrs. Kaguya—two people and a ghost—talked until dawn before they knew it.

Of course, while chatting, Natsuki Amamiya and Kaguya weren't idle either. They took turns filling the coins with luck so they wouldn't be caught off guard when needed.

"It's already seven o'clock?" Kaguya Shinomiya glanced at the time and was surprised to find that it was already bright outside. She quickly stood up and said, "No, I have to go back."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Why go back so early?"

"Chika will wake up soon if we don't go back." Kaguya Shinomiya's face fell. "If she can't see me, she'll definitely suspect something... I'm leaving."

Kaguya Shinomiya pushed open the door to the corridor and was about to return to her room when she suddenly saw a pink-haired girl standing in the corridor, her eyes wide open, her pink lips slightly parted, staring at her in shock.

"Chika, let me explain..." Kaguya Shinomiya felt inexplicably guilty and hurriedly said, "When I got up just now, there was an evil spirit in the bathroom. I just came to borrow the bathroom."

Fujiwara Chika said in a resentful tone:

"Kaguya-chan, do you need to use the restroom for two hours?"

Kaguya Shinomiya said guiltily:

"It hasn't been that long."

"I woke up once in the middle of the night and checked the time on my phone. I remember it clearly; it wasn't even six in the morning yet," Fujiwara Chika said. "It shouldn't take that long to use the restroom, right?"

Kaguya Shinomiya coughed twice and said:

"We chatted for a while afterward."

Fujiwara Chika's tone became even more resentful: "Was it just chatting?"

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded and said:

"Of course we were just chatting."

Fujiwara Chika pointed and asked, "Why are all the buttons on Kaguya-chan's pajamas buttoned crooked?"

Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."

That's because you had bad luck when you flipped a coin, and something got on your clothes. When you took them off and dusted them off, you accidentally buttoned them crookedly!

Fujiwara Chika clenched her fists and said plaintively:

"We agreed to live together, but Kaguya-chan sneaked over at night to ambush the student council president. That's too much."

Kaguya Shinomiya felt incredibly guilty: "Let me explain..."

Fujiwara Chika puffed out her cheeks and said:

"I want to come along next time!"

Kaguya Shinomiya: "...Eh?"

Chapter 667 Yukino: Don't even think about eating our sister's rice bowl!

The three of them spent another half day in Osaka, had lunch together at noon, and then returned to Tokyo in the afternoon.

Speechless all the way.

Upon returning to Tokyo, Natsuki Amamiya received a message from Ms. Mitsui, saying that the management bureau was preparing to organize a team to eliminate the evil spirits in the hotel, and subtly inquired whether Natsuki Amamiya and the others would like to accept the commission.

"What do you say?"

Natsuki Amamiya did not reply immediately, but instead looked at Chika and Kaguya.

"Huh?" Fujiwara Chika asked in surprise, "The evil spirit in Kabukicho Ichiban-gai was just eliminated, why are you in such a hurry?"

"They're probably at the height of their power right now, so they want to eliminate the danger in one fell swoop," Natsuki Amamiya said casually. "The fact that the hotel ghost story is quiet now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. It's like a time bomb; as long as it exists, it will keep many people awake at night."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly and said:

"I suggest we don't agree for now. The hotel ghost story is obviously more mysterious and dangerous. We don't know anything about the situation right now, so it would be unwise to act rashly... Even if we don't get involved, the official players from the Bureau will definitely take action."

Fujiwara Chika said worriedly:

"Those players might not be able to eliminate the ghost stories. What if they encounter danger?"

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

After discovering that she was 'tall', Secretary Qianhua always wanted to take care of the weak.

“Don’t underestimate anyone, especially the authorities,” Natsuki Amamiya said softly. “The power of the authorities is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Once they know that players can eliminate ghost stories, they will definitely quickly cultivate their own loyal forces. We don’t need to worry about them at all.”

"Hmm, that makes sense..."

After some discussion, Natsuki Amamiya took out her phone and replied to Ms. Mitsui's message, politely declining the operation—this was the right of a free agent.

If you are an official player who joins the Bureau, you will enjoy generous benefits and naturally cannot refuse the Bureau's action arrangements.

Even after being rejected, Ms. Mitsui remained respectful and asked again:

"Could you please paste the skill tags for the players in the Management Bureau?"

Amamiya Natsuki readily agreed: "No problem."

There's no need to refuse if it's just about helping to paste skills.

After the meeting, Natsuki Amamiya, Kaguya, and Chika went home.

Silent all night.

the next day.

Natsuki Amamiya thought the operation would take several days to prepare, but the next morning he received a message from Ms. Mitsui asking him to come and help paste the skill. It has to be said that the official action speed was astonishing.

"I'm going out."

Amamiya Natsuki changed her clothes and prepared to go out.

The young lady followed her to the door: "Would you like me to come with you?"

“No need,” Natsuki Amamiya shook her head. “It’s too hot outside. I’ll be fine when I get back.”

"Ah."

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya left her house, went to the intersection, and headed to the Bureau's office in Tokyo.

Ghost tales are usually bizarre and terrifying, taking lives indiscriminately regardless of age or social status. Therefore, the Bureau has considerable financial support and operational authority, making it very wealthy and powerful. It even acquired an entire office building in Chiyoda Ward.

Unfortunately, although the place is large, there are not many people inside.

When Natsuki Amamiya entered the office, she felt it was empty and rather deserted.

"Good morning, Natsuki-kun."

Ms. Mitsui, still dressed in a suit and pencil skirt, looked quite shrewd and capable as she stood at the door to greet Natsuki Amamiya.

"Good morning," Natsuki Amamiya replied politely.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ms. Mitsui quickly led Natsuki Amamiya to the upper floors via elevator.

"Natsuki-kun, can the skills you copied in Osaka be used in combination?"

Inside the elevator, Ms. Mitsui asked curiously.

"It works, and it's exceptionally good at it."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and explained the effects of the "Stealing While You're in the Mood" combo skill.
