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

"Did any guests visit today?"

Little Carrot Head seemed very afraid of him, sitting obediently on the sofa, curled up in a ball, and answered softly:

"No, no..."

Natsuki Amamiya said calmly:

Is someone missing from the house?

"Mom's still upstairs..." Little Carrot Head whispered, "She hasn't come downstairs all day..."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Take me to my mother."

The elementary school student nodded obediently, jumped off the sofa, and said weakly, "Dad... come with me."

Natsuki Amamiya followed.

The wooden staircase leading to the second floor creaked under Amamiya Natsuki's feet due to years of disrepair, sounding rather eerie.

The little radish head used both hands and feet to quickly climb to the second floor, but then peeked out from the corner, his dark eyes looking at Amamiya Natsuki, and he chuckled:

"Dad, come up here quickly."

"Tsk~"

Amamiya Natsuki clicked her tongue slightly. She thought that when she had a daughter in the future, she would definitely make her walk up the stairs properly. Crawling was too dangerous; she could easily tumble down.

Come to the second floor.

Led by Little Radish Head, Amamiya Natsuki quickly arrived at a door, which looked like a bedroom.

"Is Mom inside?" Natsuki Amamiya asked, looking down.

"Uh-huh."

Little Radish Head nodded quickly.

Amamiya Natsuki reached out and pushed open the door, stepping into the bedroom.

The light became even dimmer; although there was still light outside, the inside of the house was completely dark.

The room wasn't large. Amamiya Natsuki glanced around but didn't see anyone. She then looked down at the little boy and asked:

"Why is there no one?"

Little Carrot Head shrank back in fear and said anxiously:

"Daddy, don't be angry, Mommy is really in the room..."

thump.

A muffled thud suddenly came from inside the wardrobe.

"Mom must be hiding!"

Little Radish's eyes lit up, and he quickly ran to the wardrobe, pulled it open with both hands.

There was indeed a person hiding inside the wardrobe, wearing a white dress, seemingly lying behind the wardrobe. As the wardrobe door was opened, she fell out with a thud, landing on all fours, her pink hair hanging down, obscuring her face and making it impossible to see her features.

The elementary school student cheered, "Mom was indeed hiding in the closet!"

The 'wife' lying on the ground had pink hair that trembled slightly, as if she wanted to hide back in the closet.

Snapped.

Amamiya Natsuki grabbed his 'wife's' shoulder, then half-squatted down and reached out to brush his wife's hair aside.

A remarkably familiar, pretty face came into view.

If it's not a senior student, then who else could it be?

In the dim light, the senior student's face was pale, and her usual cheerful and sweet smile was gone, replaced by tension, unease, and fear.

When guests are pulled into a nightmare, their memories are blocked and false identities are implanted. At this moment, the senior student is clearly the lady of the house.

However, the woman's status as the hostess did not bring the senior student much sense of security.

Amamiya Natsuki estimated that in Yanzi's eyes at this moment, she was just an ordinary person, while she and her daughter were the terrifying vengeful spirits.

but……

A dilapidated courtyard.

A strange black cat.

A child with a deathly pale face and dark, inky eyes.

The wife, wearing a white dress and with her hair disheveled.

Amamiya Natsuki felt a strong sense of familiarity and couldn't help but remark:

"The identity you were implanted with is actually that of Kayako-senpai, right?"

Chapter 704 As long as she's cute, even the evil senior is fine.

"Kayako-senpai, it really is you, isn't it?"

Looking at her senior's white dress and her disheveled, ghostly hairstyle, Natsuki Amamiya finally remembered an old movie from decades ago, one that most kids these days probably haven't seen.

I had just started junior high school at the time.

One afternoon during summer vacation in the first year of junior high school, Jianzi found a horror movie DVD at home and called him over to watch it together.

After watching it, both he and Jianzi were left with deep psychological trauma.

The plot... is not important. In short, I don't recommend watching it alone.

Unexpectedly, after so long, I became the male protagonist of Ju-on in a hotel, gaining a wife, Kayako-senpai, and a vengeful spirit daughter.

Luckily, my memories weren't blocked, otherwise, who wouldn't panic!

Amamiya Natsuki looked down at her senior who was still lying on the ground, and said, gathering her thoughts:

"Senior, get up first."

"Senpai?"

Senior Yanzi looked puzzled, her pink hair trembling slightly, and she didn't dare to get up.

From the senior's perspective, she is not 'Kayako', but an ordinary housewife. The Natsuki Amamiya and her daughter in front of her are actually vengeful spirits. She can only interact with them cautiously, for fear of accidentally angering them and being cruelly killed.

The vengeful spirit husband, whose job is unknown, returned home and brought his vengeful spirit daughter, who had been wandering around the first floor, to the second floor. This unusual behavior terrified Senior Sister Yanzi, so she hid in the closet.

Unfortunately, Amamiya Natsuki still found it easily.

Not only that.

Amamiya Natsuki still called her "senpai" (senior), but the memories in her mind told Yanzi that she was not a senior, but for some reason, it always sounded strangely familiar.

Just as Senior Sister Yanzi was in a daze, she suddenly saw her 'vengeful husband' squat down.

Senior Yanzi trembled slightly, thinking that she had been spacing out for too long and had not responded in time, which angered Amamiya Natsuki and made her prepare to teach her a lesson. She could only hurriedly lower her head and let her hair cover her face.

In the false memory, once the vengeful husband becomes angry, terrible things will happen.

However, the expected pain did not occur.

Amamiya Natsuki gently lifted Tsubasa-senpai into a princess carry, her voice soft as she said:

"Let's go downstairs first. It's too dark inside. Let's talk properly downstairs."

"Eh?"

Senior Yanzi opened her eyes in confusion and secretly peeked at Amamiya Natsuki through the gap in her hair.

Is my vengeful spirit husband being unusually gentle today?

"Let's go downstairs."

Natsuki Amamiya hugged her senior and turned to leave the room.

The vengeful spirit's daughter ran ahead, using both hands and feet to quickly run downstairs.

Come to the living room.

Amamiya Natsuki placed her upperclassman on the sofa and then said:

"The power went out today for some reason, so we can have a candlelight dinner."

"A candlelight dinner?"

The words, though unfamiliar, carried a hint of familiarity as they entered her ears, and Senior Sister Yanzi couldn't help but quietly raise her eyes to look over.

When she carried her senior downstairs, Natsuki Amamiya had already figured out what to do.

I am not afraid at all now. The only person who provides the 'fear' energy to the nightmare is my senior. As long as I stop being afraid, the nightmare will naturally disappear.

So how can we help the senior student overcome her fear?

Knocking someone unconscious directly is an option, but it's difficult to control the force, and in the midst of a nightmare, it's hard to say whether they will actually pass out.

Even using the Paste skill won't work; the senior's temporary skill slots are currently occupied by Polymorph.

Growing mushrooms is worth a try. After the mushrooms explode, the chances of escaping the nightmare seem high, but it takes time.

and so.

There's only one way left...

That is, how to win over the senior student.

So what if she's Kayako-senpai?

As long as you're cute, even vengeful spirits are no problem!

In this respect, Nightmare is quite kind. Although he was implanted with false memories, he did not modify his body or appearance. Now, he has no psychological burden when it comes to winning over Kayako-senpai.

Natsuki Amamiya picked up her briefcase and pretended to take out a bunch of candles—actually, they were candles she got from opening blind boxes in the game. They only had ordinary lighting effects, but their advantages were that the light was bright and pollution-free, and that they were long-lasting and durable.

Several candles were lit in one go, and as the bright candlelight flickered and burned, the originally gloomy and dark room was instantly brightened.

Humans are naturally drawn to light.

The presence of light can dispel a great deal of fear.
