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

"Why isn't Mom with you?" Kaguya Shinomiya changed the subject.

"We got separated, so Auntie and I split up to look for you," Natsuki Amamiya explained as she approached Kaguya Shinomiya and half-squatted down. "Where are you stuck?"

"To the left rear." Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips. "It's inconvenient for me."

"Don't move, let me take a look."

Amamiya Natsuki moved closer, and as he got closer to the ice sculpture lady, a pleasant fragrance, like orchids and musk, quietly wafted into his nose, smelling exceptionally good.

No wonder they say girls are creatures made of spices; it's absolutely true.

Eyes facing each other.

The hazy mist in the Ice Sculpture Young Lady's eyes was rapidly dissipating, and perhaps it was just her imagination, but a blush seemed to have appeared on her face.

Amamiya Natsuki held his breath and focused his attention on Shinomiya Kaguya's back.

"found it."

Before long, Natsuki Amamiya discovered the problem: the curtains in these old-fashioned wedding rooms are usually secured with clips, and the Ice Sculpture Lady's hair was caught in the clips, so she couldn't get away.

The warm breath fell on her neck, causing Kaguya Shinomiya's body to tremble slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to dodge.

"Don't move around," Natsuki Amamiya instructed.

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya stopped what she was doing, instinctively grabbing the hem of her skirt with both hands, her face flushing rapidly.

Too close! Too close! Too close! Men and women shouldn't touch each other like that, stop breathing right now!

Surprisingly, Kaguya Shinomiya was astonished to find that although there was breath on her, she didn't seem to dislike it.

A moment later.

"It's untied." Amamiya Natsuki straightened up and held out her hand. "You can get up now."

"Ah."

Kaguya Shinomiya instinctively reached out her right hand and offered her delicate hand to Natsuki Amamiya.

Amamiya Natsuki gently pulled the ice sculpture-like young lady up, then said:

"The haunted house is a mess, and we might get stuck later. Should we tie our hair up?"

“Even if you say that, there’s nothing suitable right now,” Kaguya Shinomiya replied, running her fingers through her hair as she tried to calm herself down quickly.

"Here you go." Amamiya Natsuki took out a red hairband and handed it to the ice sculpture young lady. "The blind box item from yesterday is for you."

Kaguya Shinomiya gently moved her pink lips, took the red hairband, and tied her hair into a red bow similar to Fujiwara's.

Kaguya with a ribbon has officially arrived.

Chapter 85 is getting increasingly silly...

"……alright."

The red ribbon was tied into a bow by Kaguya Shinomiya, with perfect symmetry on both sides.

Looking at the ice sculpture girl in front of him, Amamiya Natsuki felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

People are still the same person.

But... why did the word "sand sculpture" suddenly pop into my head?

"Not bad." Amamiya Natsuki withdrew her gaze; the light was too dim to see clearly. "Let's go out."

Clang.

Just as they reached the door, a strange sound suddenly reached their ears.

"This voice..."

Kaguya Shinomiya's expression changed slightly.

Amamiya Natsuki pondered, "It sounds like the sound of a mirror?"

next moment.

A hand quickly reached out and nervously grabbed the hem of Amamiya Natsuki's clothes.

Hey, isn't it normal to hear strange noises in a haunted house?

You've been bitten by a snake once, and now you're afraid of ropes for ten years!

“Only by facing fear can we overcome it,” Natsuki Amamiya suggested. “How about we go back and check?”

"No need." Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lower lip slightly. "Let's leave quickly."

I don't want to stay in a room with a mirror for even a second longer!

If it weren't for the fact that mirrors are needed in daily life, Hayasaka would have removed the bathroom mirror long ago!

"I'll go out now."

Seeing that the Ice Sculpture Lady had no intention of overcoming her fear, Amamiya Natsuki didn't force her.

As for the strange noises earlier... it's normal for any kind of noise to appear in a haunted house, there's no need to investigate it too thoroughly.

The two left the room and went into the hallway.

The corridor remained dark and gloomy, with a thin mist floating in the air, obstructing the view.

Amamiya Natsuki quickly assessed the surroundings and said:

"The road behind us is the one we came from. I just told your mother that if we find the person, we'll go back to the original intersection to meet up."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly: "Let's go."

Natsuki Amamiya has excellent spatial memory; once she's been to a place, she'll almost never get lost again.

Amamiya Natsuki led the way, and the two walked back together, soon arriving at the crossroads where they had been separated earlier.

"It looks like Kitagawa?"

Amamiya Natsuki squinted and looked at a girl at the intersection.

Waist-length hair.

They're about the same height.

Because the light was too dim, I couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

Just as Amamiya Natsuki was about to walk over to check, a cool hand suddenly reached out and grasped his right hand.

So cold.

My hands are so cold.

If you weren't constantly warding off evil spirits, people would suspect you're a ghost!

"Don't go over there." Kaguya Shinomiya frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "That shouldn't be Kitagawa-kun."

There was no collar around her neck.

That's definitely not it.

Kitagawa Kaimu seems to really like collared accessories, so there's no reason for her to remove the collar while playing in a haunted house.

As they were talking, the girl's scream came from the corridor again.

Several female players screamed and rushed over, crowding together in a chaotic mess.

This time, Natsuki Amamiya was more experienced. She pulled Kaguya Shinomiya against the wall to prevent them from being separated again.

Several players screamed and ran over, then passed right through what appeared to be the blonde bombshell's body without making any contact.

It really was an evil spirit.

How many evil spirits could be hiding in such a small haunted house? There are just too many!

After the players had run far away, Natsuki Amamiya released her hand and whispered:

"It seems there's something really scary in that direction, or maybe it's staff. Generally speaking, there should be clues to getting through the haunted house..."

After waiting for a while and not hearing a response, Amamiya Natsuki turned her head and saw Shinomiya Kaguya with her left fist clenched in front of her chest, her head slightly lowered, her black hair obscuring her eyes, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.

Oh no! I just touched Natsuki's hand!

"It feels... so strange."

Kaguya Shinomiya held her breath, feeling her heart pounding rapidly.

In my sixteen years of life, this is the first time I've ever touched a boy's hand. It's so warm... Oh no, my heart is pounding. What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?

"Are you OK?"

Amamiya Natsuki took a half-step back warily, raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I'm very good."

Kaguya Shinomiya spoke with a melancholy tone.

Seeing this, Amamiya Natsuki took another half step back.

The fear of being dominated by the yandere Kaguya once again surged into my heart.

Why are you backing away?

Kaguya Shinomiya tilted her head and looked over.

Of course, she's afraid you might suddenly pull out a utility knife. The dispelling of evil spirits can only guard against evil spirits, not against a corrupted girl.

"I'm just stretching a bit," Natsuki Amamiya said, maintaining a wary distance. "Why weren't you saying anything just now?"

"just……"

Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips.

How could I possibly utter the truth that made my heart race and left me completely bewildered?

"Kaguya-chan?"

A hesitant voice suddenly rang out in the corridor.

Immediately afterwards, Natsuki Amamiya felt her little finger start to twitch rapidly.
