Kaguya-sama Wants Me to Surrender

Even if the best actor in the world showed up, they wouldn't be able to give Miss Sadako a loving gaze!

What happened to your severe social anxiety, Miss Sadako? Why are you walking towards me step by step, about to get face-to-face?

Amamiya Natsuki took a deep breath and calmed himself.

Leaving was definitely not an option.

The dimly lit corridor was clearly very dangerous.

In that case...

"Miss Sadako, I have a big surprise for you."

Amamiya Natsuki reached into his pants pocket.

"..."

Miss Sadako stopped abruptly, the black hair covering her face trembling slightly.

A, a big surprise?

What does this man want to do?

C, could it be something like that!

When other humans saw her, they all hid in corners and trembled without exception. Why isn't this guy playing by the rules?

Could she have run into a pervert?

Miss Sadako grew more nervous the more she thought about it, even taking half a step back.

"Don't move," Amamiya Natsuki said seriously, pulling a wooden comb from his pocket. "Let me give you a middle part."

The 100% Middle Part Comb!

As long as biological hair exists, it will definitely be given a middle part!

Looking at Miss Sadako's thick black hair covering her face, Amamiya Natsuki felt the middle part comb in his hand was already itching to be used.

The moment the comb touched her black hair, Amamiya Natsuki felt his right hand lose control and move rapidly, even leaving an afterimage in the air.

In just a few seconds, a perfect middle part hairstyle for a young girl was successfully created.

"Huh?"

Amamiya Natsuki had expected the face beneath the hair to be terrifying, or perhaps nonexistent. However, Miss Sadako, with her hair parted, was surprisingly good-looking.

Aside from her pale, bloodless complexion, her eyes were like those of an ordinary person, clear and distinct. Below the corner of her left eye, there was even a beauty mark... a wife-like face that made one want to bully her.

Miss Sadako was dumbfounded, completely unable to process how her hair had been combed in the blink of an eye. Her expression was clearly one of bewilderment.

Amamiya Natsuki looked directly into Miss Sadako's eyes.

Their eyes met.

Without her hair obscuring her face, Miss Sadako's body trembled slightly. Her social anxiety flared up, and she flusteredly averted her gaze, covering her face as she ran towards the television.

"Don't run," Amamiya Natsuki called out with a raised eyebrow. "We're roommates, what are you afraid of?"

Miss Sadako ignored him completely, darted to the television, and quickly slipped inside, returning to the well.

The room became empty.

Amamiya Natsuki silently put the middle part comb back into his pocket.

So, the roommate relationship was handled quite well?

No need to worry about being backstabbed by a roommate.

Amamiya Natsuki waited in the ward for a while and noticed the lights in the corridor turning on.

He stepped out of the ward and looked up; his room number was 404.

Click.

A nearby room door was pushed open, and a petite girl wearing an eyepatch and with a wobbly ahoge on her head emerged. She was clearly a human player. The girl's eyes were misty, clearly on the verge of tears.

Amamiya Natsuki observed silently. He didn't see Fujiwara or Kaguya. After a moment's thought, he prepared to ask the girl player in front of him for information:

"What's your name?"

The ahoge girl said tearfully, "T-Takanashi..."

(This is completely screwed. I'll finish this week. At least the recommendation slot shouldn't be interrupted.)

Chapter 39: Classmate Chika, Where's Your Clothes?

"Name."

"...Evil Eye Wielder."

"But you just said your surname was Takanashi."

The ahoge girl took half a step back, pressing her eyepatch with her right hand. "My true name represents power and cannot be easily told to others."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki was silent for two seconds and suddenly felt that the ahoge girl in front of him wasn't very bright.

"Are you the only one in the ward?"

"N-no, there's one more."

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow. "Is the other one a player too?"

"No," the girl with the ahoge shook her head, glancing nervously at the door behind her. "It's a terrifying vengeful spirit. It can talk too. It said it was hungry and told me to go find food. It gets angry if I don't find any, and the consequences of its anger are very serious."

Meanwhile.

More unlucky players stumbled out of the wards one after another, but unfortunately, Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya were not among them.

After a brief exchange, Amamiya Natsuki had a general understanding of the game rules.

Firstly, each player would appear in an 'initial ward' and be matched with a 'wardmate'.

Wardmates weren't human; they were all evil spirits or similar entities that harbored clear malice towards players. They wouldn't attack directly but would deepen the players' fear through various means.

The light would only last for ten minutes.

The corridors shrouded in darkness were extremely dangerous.

Players had to spend most of their time in the ward. To avoid harm, they had to build a good relationship with their wardmate by fulfilling the wardmate's various terrifying demands.

For example, the girl with the ahoge in front of him was asked by the vengeful spirit in her ward to find food. Returning empty-handed would surely not end well.

In short, all the current dangers came from the wardmates.

Amamiya Natsuki remembered Miss Sadako, who was in his ward.

Miss Sadako, being socially anxious, had retreated back into her well and refused to come out no matter how much he called. Did that mean his ward had already become a safe house, and he could just slack off without any problems?

Of course, slacking off so quickly wouldn't do. Shinomiya Kaguya and Fujiwara Chika still needed to be found.

The two girls weren't in the corridor, meaning they were still in some ward, unable to leave for some reason.

Amamiya Natsuki scanned the corridor. Both sides were lined with wards.

"Push open the doors and search one by one?"

"Too dangerous."

Amamiya Natsuki quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought.

He could only see hints; he wasn't a one-punch man.

"If that's the case, I need to figure out which ward Fujiwara and Kaguya are in first..."

His thoughts raced, and Amamiya Natsuki quickly sorted them out, walking forward along the corridor.

The girl with the ahoge followed closely behind him.

"Why are you following me?" Amamiya Natsuki stopped and looked back at the girl with the ahoge.

Takanashi Rikka looked up. "Fate guides me..."

Amamiya Natsuki put on a stern face. "Get to the point."

"Oh." The ahoge on Takanashi Rikka's head drooped. "I don't know where to find food."

"You're a mature player, and you sound like a powerful Evil Eye Wielder. Solve your own problems when you encounter them."

"Um, my Evil Eye is temporarily unusable due to overuse..." Takanashi Rikka's expression was pitiful, like a small beast about to be abandoned by its owner. "Senpai looks like a good person I can rely on."

"Bad people never write 'bad' on their faces."

"The Yukinoshita-nee-san I met last time also said that."

"Hmm?"

"..."

Upon closer questioning, the chuunibyou girl in front of him had only cleared one game. She was a fresh, newbie player.

The reason she cleared it wasn't due to her beauty and wisdom, but because she met a powerful player in the last game, a long-haired black-haired girl named Yukinoshita.

Compared to other players with pale faces and panicked expressions, Amamiya Natsuki was remarkably calm, much like the strong player from the previous game, Yukinoshita. Therefore, Takanashi Rikka decided to continue clinging to a strong player!

As they spoke, a nurse's station appeared before them.

Under the dim, cold light stood a young lady in a white nurse's uniform. Her figure was decent, but unfortunately, her uniform was covered in dark brown bloodstains, and her face was wrapped in bloody bandages, making her completely unappealing. To make matters worse, she held a large syringe in her hand; even a pig would scream for a long time after a single injection. No player dared to approach.

Just now, a bold player who called himself the [Tyrant of the Nangong Family] went over. As soon as he spoke, he was given an injection and was still lying on the ground.

Amamiya Natsuki stared for a few seconds, and a hint appeared before him.

[You have discovered the Swollen-faced Nurse] [You have seen through her weakness...] [As the lowest of the low in the hospital, doing the hardest work, earning the lowest salary, and working endless night shifts, the nurse wants to commit suicide every day] [This nurse hates night shifts the most and absolutely does not want to talk to nighttime patients. As long as you remain quiet and make no sound, the nurse will choose to ignore you]

Having seen through her weakness, Amamiya Natsuki prepared to walk towards the nurse's station.

"Senpai..."

Takanashi Rikka grew anxious and quickly tugged at Amamiya Natsuki's clothes.

"Be quiet."

Amamiya Natsuki held up a finger in a silencing gesture and whispered, "Wait for me here. Don't make a sound."

The chuunibyou girl covered her mouth with both hands and nodded seriously.

Amamiya Natsuki turned around and walked steadily towards the nurse's station.

When some players saw this, they were immediately shocked.

"What is that boy doing?"

"He knows he'll get a shot if he goes over there, yet he still dares to go? He's going to die, isn't he?"

"He probably got a mission that he absolutely has to complete. There's no other way... Wait, why is he okay?"

Under the stunned gaze of two unlucky players, Amamiya Natsuki calmly walked up to the nurse's station and began searching through things right in front of the swollen-faced nurse.

"Found it."

Amamiya Natsuki quickly found a work sheet that recorded the patient admission information for each room.

He was in room 404.

Fujiwara Chika was in room 405.

Shinomiya Kaguya was in room 406... Good heavens, she was right next door.

Having obtained the specific information for the two girls, Amamiya Natsuki turned and left the duty desk. The nurse completely ignored him the entire time.

"Why is that guy okay?"

"Is he invisible?"

"Impossible. The nurse clearly looked up at him just now."
