Kaguya-sama Wants Me to Surrender

Did Shadow Natsuki know that I'd discovered his true identity? Was that why he'd made such a demand?

What should I do? Should I agree?

If I refuse, will I anger him and make him do something even worse...?

After hesitating for a while, Zhuzhu saw Amamiya Natsuki reach for her again. She dodged to the side, took a deep breath, and said:

"I'll tell you."

Amamiya Natsuki drew back his hand.

"Go ahead."

"Phew..." Zhuzhu took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and murmured, "I like idiot Natsuki."

I said I like idiot Natsuki, not Shadow Natsuki, so it doesn't count as cheating... No matter what, I don't want Shadow Natsuki to hold my hand again!

Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help smiling.

"Your voice was too quiet. I couldn't hear you. Say it again, Zhuzhu."

"I already said it." Zhuzhu furrowed her tiny brows. "If you couldn't hear, that's your problem... Hurry up and go!"

Before long, the small park at the street corner came into view in the distance.

Looking at the park beneath the night sky, a glimmer of light quickly rose in Zhuzhu's eyes.

We're almost there.

The park was where we agreed to meet. As long as everyone's there, we'll definitely be able to catch Shadow Natsuki.

But after they entered the park, the hope in Zhuzhu's eyes vanished in an instant.

"N-not a single one..."

Amamiya Natsuki looked over.

"What's missing?"

Zhuzhu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and murmured:

"M-my bracelet is gone..."

"Let's look around first. Maybe you dropped it somewhere else." Amamiya Natsuki's tone was calm. "By the way, that Ghost Story Town you mentioned earlier... Was it those memories hidden by the fog?"

Zhuzhu's breathing hitched. She tried to sound nonchalant.

"I've already forgotten all about that."
