Kaguya-sama Wants Me to Surrender

[Mission objective: Find the real culprit within twenty-four hours and clear the deceased's name]

[Other missions are locked. Trigger them yourself.]

"Tsk~"

Seeing the instance mission, Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help clicking his tongue softly.

He wasn't even a mystery novel enthusiast, so how had he become a great detective?

Besides, he'd previously hired a hacker to investigate that series of murders. The island had only seven or eight hundred permanent residents. Even with the tourists, the population barely topped a thousand. There was only one police officer on the whole island, whose main job was dealing with lost cats, drunk tourists, and the occasional theft. There hadn't been a murder in decades, let alone a series of them.

"Is this a new setting added by the instance?"

Amamiya Natsuki pondered silently.

Since this island had been designated as an instance area, it was hard to say whether the tourists in front of them were even human. A series of murders appearing out of nowhere wasn't that strange.

By now, everyone else had finished reading their instance missions and started sharing information.

Shinomiya Kaguya folded her arms across her chest and spoke calmly:

"My instance mission is to investigate an abandoned hospital on the island and uncover its secrets."

Fujiwara Chika raised her hand.

"My instance mission is to protect someone. Judging by the name, it seems to be a girl."

Next was Kitagawa Marin. "Hmm, my instance mission is the same as Chika's."

After a quick summary,

they found that a few people had the same instance mission, but most had different ones.

Among them, Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to have received special treatment from the game as a newbie player. Her mission was the simplest: she didn't have to do anything, and just had to survive for twenty-four
