Kaguya-sama Wants Me to Surrender

After a brief discussion, the members of the beheading squad were quickly decided: Amamiya Natsuki, Chika, Marin, Kaguya, and the senpai.

"Senpai, you'll come with us," Amamiya Natsuki said quietly. "We still need to find out what traps and defenses Four Hands has set up. We'll leave the scouting to you."

Shinomiya Kaguya said softly:
