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

Mrs. Kaguya pointed.

"Ah."

"I want to ride the carousel too."

"Ah."

"That mirrored maze looks interesting too..."

"I reject."

Kaguya Shinomiya resolutely refused, saying that even her mother wouldn't unconditionally and without limits grant all of her mother's requests.

I will never go to a place like a mirror maze!

Because of the guardian spirit he was bound to, Natsuki Amamiya couldn't go far. She strolled alongside the mother and daughter, but every now and then she felt someone was spying on her. She would turn around to look, but she would find nothing.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

sunset.

The tired bird returns to its nest.

Amamiya Natsuki and several girls left the amusement park and went home.

The two-day exams are over, and the nine-day Golden Week holiday is about to begin.

I just hoped the Golden Week holiday would pass peacefully... but unfortunately, what I feared most came true, and a new challenge is coming soon.

Chapter 87 Game Update

The first day of Golden Week.

Nothing happened today.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Not long after Amamiya Natsuki got up, she heard the doorbell ring.

He got up and opened the door.

"Good morning, Natsuki-kun."

A girl with short blonde hair stood outside the door, her bright smile as radiant as the sunshine.

"Good morning."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and looked at Miko next to Yurikawa Hana.

"Hua came over to play this morning." Yotsuya Miko raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned, her face still showing dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept well last night. "I was bored, so I came over to play games with the dog."

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."

Mrs. Kaguya's eyes sparkled, and she dashed over to Yurikawa Hana's side, starting to stick the pretty girl stickers on her.

All that's missing is for her to stretch out her arms and hug Yurikawa from behind.

As a ghost, Kaguya-sama has no senses related to the body, such as taste, touch, and smell, and she doesn't even need to sleep.

But what's amazing is that she can feel a special warmth from Yurikawa Hana, so she really likes Yurikawa Hana and wants to stick close to her every time she sees her.

"Phew~ So warm."

Mrs. Kaguya narrowed her eyes, a look of extreme pleasure appearing on her pretty face. "Hua's body is indeed irresistible."

That's a typical line from a scumbag. Where did you see that before?

Yotsuya saw that the girl was ignoring him and silently went inside to change her shoes.

"Excuse me."

Yurikawa Hana couldn't see Mrs. Kaguya at all. She walked into the entrance hall, saw the Akita Inu wagging its tail and came over, and happily squatted down to pat the dog's head with a smile.

"Hana-chan is truly a treasure," Mrs. Kaguya exclaimed. "It would be wonderful if I could cuddle her to sleep at night."

Amamiya Natsuki said speechlessly:

"Don't you not need to sleep?"

"What if she falls asleep?" Mrs. Kaguya replied softly. "Why don't you, Natsuki-kun, trick Hana-chan into coming home?"

"Little Lily River looks like she's easy to fool."

Natsuki Amamiya glanced down at the blonde girl and nodded subconsciously.

They do seem very easy to fool.

Mrs. Kaguya continued:

"Don't worry, I won't tell Kaguya. The most important thing in life is to be loyal."

You're a ghost, you're not even human!

"It would be great if Natsuki-kun dated Kaguya-chan," Mrs. Kaguya fantasized. "Plus Sayuri-kawa, everyone would get what they want."

How can it be considered a mutually beneficial arrangement?

You're clearly the winner-takes-all one, having women on both sides!

Seeing Yotsuya Miko looking over, Mrs. Kaguya clenched her right fist, gently tapped her forehead, and said with a smile:

"Sorry, and also, Miko, you two should date together."

“…I don’t need it.”

Yotsuya Miko slightly twitched the corners of her mouth. Even a lazy girl like her didn't enjoy sharing her boyfriend with others, let alone dating him.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if I agreed, Kaguya, being such a proud and wealthy young lady, wouldn't agree, right?

Come to the living room.

Natsuki Amamiya is playing the newly unlocked Elden Ring, which, at the moment, is practically a shoo-in for Game of the Year.

Miko sat next to Amamiya Natsuki, playing on her phone while dozing off.

Baihe Chuanhua was still happily patting the dog's head.

Mrs. Kaguya snuggled close to Yurikawa Hana, playing a game of sticking together like cute girls.

The first day of Golden Week was quite leisurely.

Unfortunately, this leisurely mood was soon shattered by the game's notification sounds.

[Game system upgrade in progress...]

A cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind, causing Amamiya Natsuki to pause, before being taken down by a combo attack from the boss in the old man's ring.

Natsuki Amamiya loaded the save file, focusing most of her attention on leveling up in the game.

"How could the game suddenly level up?"

"Who helped you level up?"

"What changes will occur after the upgrade?"

Since it concerned safety, Amamiya Natsuki naturally wouldn't take it lightly. She even thought that the system upgrade progress might be a little slow, and it would be best if it got stuck for ten or eight days.

Unfortunately not.

In just a few minutes, the upgrade progressed smoothly to 100%, just as fast as Ultraman's.

A new interface then appeared before Natsuki Amamiya's eyes.

"Hmm... the interface looks nicer now."

The interfaces of older horror games were very monotonous, like poorly made unfinished products. If you silently said "I can start" and ignored it, it would close by itself after a while, unless a new notification appeared in the game.

The interface is now much smoother and more comfortable to look at. I also received an announcement in my email.

Natsuki Amamiya opened the letter using her mind.

[Game upgrade complete]

The update details are as follows:

We've optimized the interface's art style, improving the player's visual experience.

The game advance notification feature is now officially online; you will receive game notifications half an hour in advance.

[Free exploration mode is now unlocked. In addition to the mandatory missions that occur every two weeks, you can now use the refresh function to refresh special game instances. Most game instances require certain conditions to be met to trigger, such as time, number of players, and location.]

[The friend feature is now available. With your friend's unique ID and their consent, you can add them as a friend. Please note that this feature cannot be used in the game.]

The first large-scale dungeon is about to open; all players, please prepare accordingly.

[Finally: Please cherish your life and manage your game time wisely.]

“A lot of things have been updated.” Amamiya Natsuki rested her right hand on her nose and pondered, “The first large-scale dungeon... No wonder I haven’t encountered any real pros, maybe I was one of the first players in the game.”

"Free exploration mode... it must be the midnight subway instance from that night."

As Natsuki Amamiya was pondering, she suddenly received a new email.

Your daily quest is about to begin, please prepare.

“A mandatory mission every ten days, and judging by the timing, it's today.” Amamiya Natsuki silently put down the game controller, her expression turning serious.

"what happened?"

Yotsuya Miko tilted her head slightly and looked over, keenly noticing Amamiya Natsuki's unusual behavior.

Amamiya Natsuki whispered, "The game is about to begin again."

"Huh?" Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened slightly. "That vengeful spirit game?"

Natsuki Amamiya nodded gently.

As we were talking, my phone started vibrating.

“Natsuki-kun,” Fujiwara Chika messaged, “I just received a game notification.”

"I received it too."

"That's so unfair! We just finished the Midnight Subway game two days ago, why are we being asked to participate in another game? And we're even planning a trip to Ukraine with Mom and Dad."
