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

"I'm sorry," Natsuki Amamiya said expressionlessly, "I didn't recognize you."

"Eh?"

Amamiya Natsuki remarked:

"Fujiwara-kun is a god. How could a mere human possibly understand the thoughts of a god?"

"That's so mean!" Fujiwara Chika puffed out her cheeks. "Are you praising me or criticizing me... Oh, right!"

Fujiwara Chika suddenly slapped her forehead, her eyes brightening: "I've got an idea! With just one small prop, even if we're imitated by a mirror, Natsuki and I will definitely be able to recognize each other."

"what?"

“It’s that red string.” Fujiwara Chika urged, “Natsuki-kun, hurry up and take out that red string.”

Amamiya Natsuki remembered the red rope she had obtained in a previous transaction and took out the item.

[Props: Red rope]

Material: Unknown

[How to use: Both parties tie the red string to the same finger. When one party moves their finger, the other party's finger will move accordingly.]

[Special Effects: Not Activated]

[Note: Please use with caution. Do not use with figurines, body pillows, silicone [beep], cats, pigeons, or other living creatures. Humans should not, at least not.]

When Natsuki Amamiya saw this note again, her expression was still quite subtle.

The figurine is one thing, but the body pillow doesn't even have fingers, so how am I supposed to tie a red string to it?

Tying a red string to a cat is one thing, but what's with this pigeon spirit?

"Natsuki-kun," Fujiwara Chika looked up at her and asked, "which finger do you want to tie it on?"

“Hmm…” Natsuki Amamiya hesitated for two seconds, “The little finger, I guess.”

Of the five fingers of a human, the little finger has the least function. For example, when members of yakuza organizations cut off their fingers, they usually cut off the little finger.

“Then I’ll use my little finger.” Fujiwara Chika held up her little finger and turned to say, “Kaguya-chan, help me tie the red string.”

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya wanted to refuse, but she didn't have a suitable reason.

It's just an ordinary red string, only good for hooking fingers, so there's plenty of reason to refuse, right?

Biting her lower lip slightly, Kaguya Shinomiya took the red rope and tied it around Fujiwara's neck.

"Give me Natsuki's fingers."

Fujiwara Chika volunteered to raise her hand and tie the red string on Amamiya Natsuki's head.

next moment.

The red string connecting their fingers suddenly disappeared.

"Hey? The red string is gone?"

Fujiwara Chika opened her eyes wide and quickly began to examine the area.

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly felt her fingers twitch involuntarily twice. She raised her right hand in front of her and then moved her fingers.

"My fingers are moving on their own!" Fujiwara Chika exclaimed in amazement, her little finger twitching back and forth. "So that's how you play! How amazing!"

"Stop playing around." Natsuki Amamiya tried to clench her fist and found that she could stop her little finger from moving. "Let's go, let's go into the ward."

Fujiwara Chika then stopped. "Kaguya-chan, wait for us to come out."

"..."

Enter the ward.

The light was as dim as ever, and the air was chilly and gloomy.

The ward was empty; there was no sign of any vengeful spirit. The bronze mirror was placed face down on the table, exactly as it had been when he left.

“The vengeful spirit isn’t here.” Fujiwara Chika lowered her voice, instinctively moving closer to Amamiya Natsuki, and whispered, “Natsuki-kun, could that vengeful spirit still be inside the mirror?”

“Very likely.” Natsuki Amamiya nodded slightly and helped the mirror up. “Look in the mirror for ten seconds, without blinking.”

"Ah."

Fujiwara Chika clenched her fists, ready for battle.

The mirror was small, so in order to appear in the mirror together, Fujiwara Chika had to get as close as possible to Amamiya Natsuki, their arms touching intimately.

Amamiya Natsuki breathed softly, smelling a pleasant aroma from the airheaded girl—a blend of milk, cake, and floral scents.

After silently counting to ten for several seconds, Natsuki Amamiya felt a slight dizziness.

"Um, I feel a little dizzy..."

As Fujiwara Chika's voice rang in her ears, the airheaded girl clung to Amamiya Natsuki's arm to steady herself.

next moment.

The faint, ethereal voice reached their ears.

"Why...why did you choose her and not me?"

Fujiwara Chika looked in the direction of the voice: "Eh, Kaguya-chan?"

"You're overthinking it." Amamiya Natsuki grabbed Fujiwara Chika's hand. "Kaguya-san is waiting for us in the hallway."

The girl in front of you just looks exactly like Kaguya Shinomiya; she is actually a vengeful spirit.

Natsuki Amamiya thought that after she left, the Mirror Demon would reveal its true form, but she didn't expect it to still look like Kaguya Shinomiya.

At this moment.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been standing in the shadows in the corner, stepped out. Her head was tilted, and her pale face was stained with drops of blood. She held a utility knife in her hand, with blood slowly dripping from the tip. The glint in her wine-red eyes had disappeared, as if covered by a layer of gray, making them empty and gloomy.

"...Kaguya-chan is so scary."

Fujiwara Chika trembled, feeling like a little white rabbit who had accidentally wandered into a demon's lair, too afraid to move at all.

Amamiya Natsuki was also somewhat flustered.

Has he turned evil?

So, beneath that expressionless, ice-sculpted mask lies not only a goofy personality, but also a yandere personality!

"We're exactly the same, so why did you choose her and not me?"

The yandere Kaguya tilted her head and looked over, her gaze landing on Natsuki Amamiya's face, her voice like a devil's murmur.

Why did you abandon me and run away?

"Because I'm not a good child?"

"Children who run away should be punished, so I'll gouge out one of your eyes... Hehehehe, what an adorable expression."

Chapter 55: Miss Sadako's Severe Social Anxiety

"...Kaguya-san is terrifying after she turns evil."

Amamiya Natsuki sighed.

The evil side is three times stronger, while the white side is seven times weaker.

That statement was indeed correct.

Although Amamiya Natsuki is a boy, he has no confidence at all.

I have this feeling that if I had come here alone, I would already be pinned down by Kaguya Shinomiya, going in and out seven times over.

"To prevent you from escaping again, shall we break both your legs as well?"

Kaguya, a yandere and corrupted vengeful spirit, tilted her head, her eyes dark, and her voice eerie, "This way you can stay by my side forever."

"Sorry, I refuse."

Natsuki Amamiya took a deep breath and bravely said no to the vengeful spirit Kaguya.

As long as she's cute, Sadako is fine with it. They even wanted to give her maternity leave, but the vengeful spirit Kaguya decided against it. She breaks his legs at the drop of a hat. What man could stand that humiliation?

“Because…” Amamiya Natsuki pushed Fujiwara Chika, who was hiding behind him, forward, “My life already belongs to Fujiwara-kun.”

"Eh eh eh?"

"If you want me to stay, you'll have to get past Fujiwara first."

"I'm not a shield."

"..."

The vengeful spirit Kaguya's gaze shifted slightly, landing on Fujiwara Chika. Then, surprisingly, she put away her craft knife, crossed her arms, and coldly said:

"The source of chaos."

“No, that’s not true,” Fujiwara Chika retorted. “I’ve always been on the Good and Lawful side in games.”

"A siren who uses her breasts to seduce men into depravity."

"That's so...that's too much! Kaguya-chan is going too far!" Secretary Fujiwara covered her chest with both hands. "She has never tempted anyone before."

Upon hearing this, Amamiya Natsuki looked at Fujiwara Chika.

Under the pressure of the arm, the edges revealed an alluring, full-moon-like curve.

Fujiwara Chika was completely unaware of her own alluring nature.

"The lamb that has committed the sin of gluttony."

"I can only eat a little bit more than the average girl..." Fujiwara Chika guiltily looked away. "Let's not waste any more time, Kaguya-chan... no, outlaw Zhang San, if I call your name, will you dare to answer?"

Kaguya Shinomiya quickly raised her hand to cover her pink lips, trying to muffle the sound, but her mouth still moved: "...Zhang San is here."

Amamiya Natsuki felt like she was back to her old self.

He took two steps forward, grabbed the wrist of the vengeful spirit Kaguya, and triggered a 100% surrender: "Fujiwara, come here and search me."

"Oh."

Fujiwara Chika quickly stepped forward.
