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

Why do tissues left on the bedside table late at night develop a scent?

Kaguya Shinomiya frowned slightly and asked curiously.

Amamiya Natsuki looked over speechlessly. "You, Kaguya with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, how can you still be in the mood to tell dirty jokes at a time like this?"

Eyes facing each other.

The girl with long, straight black hair had clear, innocent eyes, showing no sign of guilt or mockery. A notification slowly appeared above her head.

Why is no one saying anything? Is my question strange?

Amamiya Natsuki was shocked.

This Kaguya wasn't telling a dirty joke; she genuinely didn't know the answer.

You're a high school student, and you don't even know what tissues are for? Are you kidding me?

So much for the supposedly aristocratic young lady's chaotic private life, with boys lining up to lick her feet every day? Turns out she's as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Amamiya Natsuki silently looked at Fujiwara Chika.

A girl with a black bow tied at her temple happened to look over.

Eyes facing each other.

Confirmed eyes.

Amamiya Natsuki understood.

It seems that only Kaguya Shinomiya is an exception, while Fujiwara-kun... is obviously an old hand.

"Ahem, looks like I'm having a really bad day." Fujiwara Chika coughed twice, placed the tissues on Amamiya Natsuki's desk, closed one eye, and said in a clear voice, "Amamiya-san, here's a pack of tissues for you. Take it home and use it."

“I’m sorry, I don’t need it.” Amamiya Natsuki interlaced her fingers and decisively refused, “Take it back for yourself.”

Using a girl's tissue to do *that*, what's the difference between that and being a pervert?

"Girls don't need this."

"Not always."

Kaguya Shinomiya, realizing she couldn't understand a word, tilted her head slightly and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Actually it is……"

Just as Amamiya Natsuki was about to speak, her shoulder was suddenly pressed down.

Fujiwara Chika bent down and pressed closer, her face beaming with a bright and lovely smile, but for some reason, she suddenly looked a little scary. The girl's breath was warm and sweet as she smiled and said, "Amamiya-kun, you can't corrupt Kaguya-chan, okay?"

Who corrupted her?! As a noble lady, she has no common sense at all; she'll be easily fooled!

"..."

After chatting for a while, as more and more classmates arrived, the three of them returned to their respective seats.

As the school bell rang, Natsuki Amamiya forced herself to get into study mode.

The day flies by.

In the afternoon.

Natsuki Amamiya twirled the pencil between her fingers, looked out at the playground, and sighed silently.

The afternoon sun was quite bright.

A group of students in physical education class are playing soccer on the playground, freely expressing their sweat and friendship.

Unfortunately, what they couldn't see was a gigantic ghost, resembling a giant toad, sitting in front of the soccer goal, its mouth open, constantly catching the ball, its body occasionally passing right through the goalkeeper.

It is obvious that these wandering evil spirits are not afraid of sunlight at all.

In just one day, three evil spirits appeared in the classroom, causing headaches.

"After school."

Amamiya Natsuki withdrew her gaze and prepared to go home.

"Amamiya-san, where are you going?"

The voice of Fujiwara Chika rang in my ears. That idiot was quite oblivious, and her voice sounded as clear and bright as it used to be.

"go home."

As Natsuki Amamiya packed her paper and pen into her schoolbag, she answered.

"Hey, aren't you participating in club activities?"

I am not a member of any clubs.

“That’s not good.” Fujiwara Chika put her hands behind her back, bent down and leaned closer. Her big, bright pink eyes could clearly reflect others. “If you don’t join a club in high school, you’ll regret it in your life.”

"I'm sorry, I have no regrets in my life."

"..."

In contrast.

Kaguya was much calmer.

Picking up her schoolbag, she calmly walked out, but just as she reached the school gate, she suddenly encountered a woman covered in the vengeful spirits of infants, radiating a chilling malice, and the cries and screams of babies could be heard in her ears.

Kaguya Shinomiya's pretty face paled slightly, and she involuntarily stopped in her tracks.

"Can...can you see me?"

The female vengeful spirit approached Kaguya, her voice hoarse and deep, sending chills down one's spine. The infant vengeful spirit, clinging to the female vengeful spirit's back, excitedly ran to Shinomiya as if it had discovered a new toy, crawling all over him.

Even Kaguya Shinomiya, who has the title of "Ice Princess Kaguya" at school, could not remain unmoved. She could only tightly grip her schoolbag, bite her lower lip, and her eyes welled up with misty tears.

[How terrifying, how terrifying, how terrifying...]

Seeing the girl's teary eyes, Amamiya Natsuki's gaze sharpened, and she stepped over.

As the halo of dissipating evil energy enveloped them, the vengeful spirits of the woman and the baby screamed simultaneously, as if snow meeting sunlight quickly burst into flames and fled in panic.

"Kaguya-chan, are you alright?"

Fujiwara Chika quickly stepped forward and hugged Shinomiya Kaguya's arm.

"I am fine."

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes were brimming with tears.

"It would be better to wipe away your tears before saying this."

"..."

Chapter 23 Seeing the Child: Do you want to come to my room?

"I don't want to go home after school." Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands to her chest, looking pitiful. "If we could stay in class forever, we wouldn't have to be separated."

Natsuki Amamiya ruthlessly retorted, "You'll become the enemy of the entire school."

He actually wants to stay at school all day long. Not only will the students object, but the teachers will also go on strike!

Fujiwara Chika sighed:

"There are at least more people at school, but what am I supposed to do when I'm all alone at home at night?"

"You can wear an eye mask," Kaguya Shinomiya suggested.

Fujiwara Chika looked up at her: "Then you can still hear sounds."

Natsuki Amamiya's tone was wistful:

"Wear earplugs."

“Got it.” Fujiwara Chika snapped her fingers. “So it’s about hiding under the covers and pretending to be an ostrich. In those comics, blankets are an invincible treasure. As long as you hide under the covers, you won’t encounter any danger.”

Kaguya Shinomiya gently moved her pink lips, a rare expression of hesitation appearing on her face.

"Eh, what does Kaguya-chan want to say?"

"I asked Fujiwara Chika curiously."

"Actually..." Kaguya Shinomiya pressed her temples, finally deciding to tell the truth and give a heads-up beforehand, so she would be mentally prepared, "Last night when I was sleeping, I found a ghost hiding in the blanket."

On her very first day seeing the real world, she encountered a ghost hiding under the covers. Girl, your luck is good enough to buy a lottery ticket!

"Eh?" Fujiwara Chika quickly opened her eyes wide. "Was Kaguya-chan scared and cried?"

"Absolutely not."

Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms and quickly denied it.

"But I remember that Kaguya-chan was most afraid of watching horror movies when she was little..."

"A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence." Kaguya Shinomiya bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth. "I'm all grown up now. Don't look at me with the same eyes you had when I was a child."

"Is that so?"

Fujiwara Chika suddenly took two steps back, hid next to Amamiya Natsuki, and quietly tugged at Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve.

Natsuki Amamiya understood and retreated together with Chika Fujiwara.

Seeing the two's actions, the ice sculpture girl's eyes widened, her neck stiffened, and she couldn't help but want to turn around and look back.

"Kaguya-chan, calm down," Fujiwara Chika said softly. "Make sure you don't turn around to look behind you."

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya's silky, waist-length black hair trembled slightly, her eyelashes fluttered, and she held her breath as she quickly walked towards Natsuki Amamiya and Kaguya.

"Hahaha." Chika, the source of all evil, put her hands on her hips and raised her chin triumphantly. "There's actually nothing behind you. Kaguya-chan is really scared, isn't she?"

Kaguya Shinomiya pressed her right hand to her chest and silently turned her head to look behind her.

Behind me was only an empty classroom; there was indeed nothing there.

Fujiwara Chika was completely unaware of the impending disaster:

"No wonder Kaguya-chan has dark circles under her eyes. Did she not sleep at all last night?"

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya took a deep breath, black mist rising from her body, her wine-red eyes flashing crimson, and a smile appeared on her face:
