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

"Oh."

Fujiwara Chika looked down and started rummaging through the things. "Hey, where's my wallet?"

Kaguya Shinomiya said speechlessly, "You put it in your bag and forgot to take it, didn't you?"

"It really is true." Fujiwara Chika clenched her fist, tapped it on her head, and then looked at her with her big, wet, doe-like eyes. "Natsuki-kun, I was in such a hurry that I forgot my wallet."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki sighed and silently handed over a 100-yen coin.

Seeing Kaguya Shinomiya staring straight at him, Natsuki Amamiya couldn't help but say, "You forgot your wallet too?"

“I haven’t forgotten.” Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms, her voice cool. “I never carry money with me when I go out.”

No wonder she's a super rich heiress; she doesn't even bring any money with her when she goes out!

"Then how will you go to school?"

"Driver pick-up and drop-off".

"What about lunch?"

"The chef specially delivered lunch boxes at noon."

"..."

They really are evil capitalists.

Natsuki Amamiya silently handed Kaguya a 100-yen coin: "Please accept this, Miss."

Kaguya Shinomiya's pink lips curled up slightly for a moment as she took the coin and inserted it into the machine.

With Natsuki Amamiya's help, the two girls quickly chose their characters and officially entered the battle scene.

"Kaguya-chan, let's duel!" Fujiwara Chika sat up straight, her expression serious. "I won't hold back."

"bring it on."

"..."

To be fair, both girls chose Cammy as their character. After explaining the character's combo techniques, Natsuki Amamiya stood behind the two girls and began to watch the match.

Both girls were playing arcade games for the first time and had no prior experience, so they were naturally quite clumsy. Natsuki Amamiya noticed this and silently gave them the rating of "Kindergarten Battle".

It's no exaggeration to say that he could take on ten people.

"I lost..." Watching her character cough up blood on the screen, Fujiwara Chika let out a sigh of relief. "What a thrilling battle."

It wasn't exactly satisfying, but it certainly looked appetizing.

"how's it going?"

Natsuki Amamiya gazes at Kaguya.

A bright light appeared in the beautiful eyes of the ice sculpture girl, and she nodded slightly: "The Hundred-Man Kill has been successfully completed, and a little progress has been made."

"Finally, we can complete the mission." Fujiwara Chika cheered, her voice clear and bright. "Kaguya-chan, let's continue the duel."

After a while.

"The mission progress is still one percent." Kaguya Shinomiya gently rested her chin on her right hand, analyzing the possibilities. "It seems that each person can only contribute a little progress, and repeated defeats don't count... Natsuki-kun, you play."

Amamiya Natsuki's tone was subtle: "You really want me to play?"

"how?"

You will lose.

"Natsuki's ambition is commendable."

Chapter 35 Kaguya Shinomiya: The Elementary School God of War

Kaguya Shinomiya: "Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora—"

Amamiya Natsuki: "Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big——"

"...Fujiwara!"

Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lower lip and turned to look at the girl who was doing voice acting behind her.

"I'm not going to say anything more." Fujiwara Chika covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes innocent. "It's all because Kaguya-chan's expression was too serious, so I wanted to lighten the mood."

Just now, Kaguya Shinomiya has lost five games in a row, all of them crushing defeats.

"One more round."

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Natsuki Amamiya, and flames burned in the girl's wine-red eyes.

As a genius girl, Kaguya Shinomiya has always been extremely competitive. Whether it's studying or anything else, her standard of action is either not to do it at all, or to do it to the best of her ability.

The same game character.

A fair and just competitive match.

I actually lost five games in a row, and I was completely powerless to fight back... How humiliating!

Losing is not shameful.

It's shameful to lose.

So we must win it back no matter what!

"I'm not playing anymore," Natsuki Amamiya shook her head in refusal.

If you keep playing, Kaguya Shinomiya will achieve the hidden achievement of a hundred consecutive losses. Given the ice sculpture girl's strong sense of self-esteem and proud personality, she might secretly cry.

Kaguya Shinomiya frowned slightly, about to speak, when Natsuki Amamiya reminded her:

"If we don't go back soon, we'll be late for class."

"Hey, they've been playing for so long!" Fujiwara Chika, who was watching the drama unfold from the sidelines, exclaimed upon hearing this, quickly taking out her phone. "Kaguya-chan, hurry back to school, we're going to be late!"

"..."

Although I really want to continue my duel with Natsuki Amamiya, skipping class is not an option either.

Kaguya Shinomiya let out a soft breath, tucked a strand of hair that had fallen across her chest behind her ear, and said calmly, "Let's go."

The three of them left the game center and jogged all the way back to school before class started.

The day flies by.

The school bell rang on time.

"Kaguya-chan, I've already spoken to my friend." Fujiwara Chika walked to the ice sculpture girl's side, raised her hand in salute, and said, "We're ready to act at any time."

"Wait a minute." Kaguya Shinomiya looked up. "What did you say to your friend?"

Fujiwara Chika smiled brightly: "Of course, I'll find a hundred friends to help you complete the mission."

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya could only sigh silently in her heart:

A socially adept girl, terrifyingly so.

It's been less than a month since school started, and you've already made hundreds of friends in no time. Are you going to dominate the entire school?

“Your friend…” Kaguya Shinomiya gently furrowed her brows, “Perhaps not.”

"Eh, what do you mean?" Fujiwara Chika looked bewildered.

Amamiya Natsuki chimed in from the side, "Your friends are all your classmates from school, right?"

“That’s right.” Fujiwara Chika nodded.

Amamiya Natsuki said, "Shinomiya-san is quite terrifying at school..."

"Ok?"

Kaguya Shinomiya looked up at him, her eyes dangerous.

"I misspoke, it should be 'flower on a high mountain.'" Amamiya Natsuki silently changed her words. The so-called "flower on a high mountain" refers to a flower that blooms on the top of a high mountain, which is unattainable for ordinary people. "When ordinary students see her, they are like mice seeing a cat. They will avoid her when walking. If you ask them to do a task together, they will probably be hesitant and then be judged as not meeting the requirements."

Family background, beauty, aura... these things, though unseen, are real and not illusory.

“Of course, it’s just speculation. We’ll have to verify it to know the truth,” Natsuki Amamiya said finally. “Fujiwara, you can ask a friend to go and verify it first, and see what the situation is.”

“No problem, leave it to me.” Fujiwara Chika accepted the task, her eyes sweeping across the classroom before landing on a short-haired girl who hadn’t left yet. She beckoned, “Asuka-chan, come here.”

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the short-haired girl, Kashiwagi Asuka, who was the classmate who had witnessed their affair yesterday afternoon.

"Um... Chika-chan, were you calling me?"

The short-haired girl timidly pointed to herself.

"It's you, come here quickly."

"Oh."

Glancing at the ice sculpture Kaguya standing next to Fujiwara Chika, the short-haired girl's face paled slightly as she timidly approached.

"Asuka-chan, do you have any club activities this afternoon?" Fujiwara Chika asked.

"No."

“That’s perfect, you’re the one.” Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands in front of her chest. “There’s something I’d like to ask you.”

"W-What's wrong?"

"Kaguya-chan wants to fight, so why don't you be her opponent?"

Opponent?

The short-haired girl trembled slightly, her face turned even paler, and tears welled up in her eyes.

They call themselves rivals, but aren't they actually trying to silence me?

Yesterday afternoon, I caught Kaguya and Amamiya doing *that* in the classroom. I thought I had survived, but in the end, Kaguya is going to kill me to silence me!

"I'm so sorry!" The short-haired girl bowed deeply and apologized. "Kaguya-san is so amazing, and I'm so weak. I'm not even worthy of being called an opponent or a sparring partner. Please let me go!"

"..."

The short-haired girl eventually followed Amamiya Natsuki and the other two out of the school.

There was no way around it; Kaguya Shinomiya's cold eyes were quite terrifying, making it impossible for anyone to utter a word of refusal.
