Miss Kaguya Wants My Surrender

"Natsuki-kun, why is your face suddenly red?"

Mrs. Shimizu tilted her head and looked over.

"It's normal for my face to be red after just taking a shower." Amamiya Natsuki subtly handed the phone back. "I think I've roughly guessed the truth."

"Eh, what's the reason?"

"Come with me."

Amamiya Natsuki got up and walked towards the restroom.

Mrs. Shimizu followed him.

On the wall was a half-length mirror. Amamiya Natsuki stood in front of it, his entire figure clearly reflected.

Next to him, it was quite unsettling... only a mobile phone floated in mid-air.

"Is it like an urban legend, where ghosts can't see themselves in mirrors?" Mrs. Shimizu was quite clever. "So, the reason I couldn't video call Kaguya-chan was because of me, not because the phone was broken?"

"That should be it." Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone. "Come here for a photo."

Mrs. Shimizu leaned closer, raised her right hand, and made a peace sign by her face.

Click.

After taking the photo.

Amamiya Natsuki checked it and quickly said, "No, it can't be captured. Video calls are unusable."

"How awful, so that's the truth." Mrs. Shimizu was greatly disappointed. "Wait, can Kaguya-chan hear me when I speak?"

"Your video call is still on."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the phone. Miss Ice Princess had her right hand covering her chest, her expression blank, but the tips of her ears were distinctly flushed red like fire.

"Kaguya-san." Amamiya Natsuki cleared his throat twice. "Can you hear your mother speaking?"

Shinomiya Kaguya's voice was calm and composed: "No, I can't hear anything."

"That's the situation. Video calls are unusable." Amamiya Natsuki returned the phone to Mrs. Shimizu, turned, and walked away. "You two should just text each other."

Amamiya Natsuki had no interest in eavesdropping on mother-daughter late-night talks.

Returning to his room, he studied. He still had another day of exams tomorrow.

In a flash, it was eleven o'clock at night.

Amamiya Natsuki closed his exercise book, just about to sleep, when his pinky finger suddenly twitched.

Then it started twitching non-stop.

Needless to say, it could only be Fujiwara Chika.

Playing at school was one thing, but playing with fingers in the middle of the night instead of sleeping!

Buzz buzz.

His phone vibrated.

Amamiya Natsuki picked up his phone and saw a message from the pink-haired girl.

"Natsuki-kun, help!!!"

"I was just about to go to bed, but a disheveled evil spirit crawled under my bed right in front of me! So awful, so awful, so awful, so awful! Knowing there's someone hiding under the bed, I can't sleep at all!"

"I can't help." Amamiya Natsuki suggested, "Why don't you switch rooms?"

Fujiwara Chika: "My sister is already asleep. I can't disturb her so late."

Amamiya Natsuki: "Then just bear with it until morning, and then go to school."

"Natsuki-kun is so mean, staying up all night will make me break down, won't it?"

As a high school student, staying up all night is perfectly fine!

Fujiwara Chika: "I really want to see if the evil spirit under the bed has left."

"Resist the urge, don't look."

If he wasn't there, and she made eye contact with the evil spirit, she'd be done for.

"I can't resist, the more I think about it, the more curious I get."

"Curiosity killed the cat."

"Even if Natsuki-kun says that, a girl's curiosity is just very strong."

That's because she's not scared enough. Like Miko, she would just lie down as if nothing happened and definitely wouldn't be curious enough to look under the bed.

Amamiya Natsuki sighed helplessly and initiated a video call.

"Natsuki-kun?"

A pink-haired girl appeared in Amamiya Natsuki's view, tilting her head with a puzzled expression, "Are you going to sleep with me?"

Fujiwara Chika was wearing Pikachu pajamas, her pink hair falling over her shoulders. The black bow on her bangs was gone, and without makeup, her skin was still delicate and rosy, as if it could break with a touch, like a freshly peeled egg.

"I'm sorry, I don't offer co-sleeping services." Amamiya Natsuki turned on the light, sat at his desk, picked up an exercise book, "Get up and study together."

This pink-haired girl was definitely chaotic alignment, making it hard to tell if she was genuinely silly or just pretending.

She said she wanted to peek under the bed, and it was impossible to predict if she would actually do it.

To be safe, it was indeed better to keep an eye on her to feel at ease.

The ghost-fighting duo would be vulnerable if either person was missing.

"Eh, study now?"

"Can you resist looking under the bed?"

"No." Fujiwara Chika said pitifully, "Why did that evil spirit have to hide under the bed of all places? I'm super curious!"

"Then sit properly and study."

"Oh."

Fujiwara Chika obediently sat down beside the desk, and the two talked and studied together.

Half an hour later, Fujiwara Chika was yawning continuously, her head bobbing, and finally, she collapsed onto the table, falling into a dazed sleep.

If you're going to sleep, go to bed, don't just lie on the desk! The buttons are screaming under the strain!

Looking at the breathtakingly round curve on the table, Amamiya Natsuki used immense willpower to end the call.

The night passed without incident.

The next day.

When Amamiya Natsuki woke up in the morning, he first sent a message to Fujiwara Chika, confirming that the pink-haired girl was fine except for a sore back, then he went out and downstairs.

"Natsuki-kun, good morning~"

Mrs. Shimizu looked up.

Seeing Mrs. Shimizu's body turn translucent again, Amamiya Natsuki sighed helplessly.

What to do when a guardian spirit is addicted to her phone and makes herself weak and listless every day?

Of course, he had to forgive her.

Ghosts don't need sleep; just sitting there is indeed difficult, more painful than insomnia.

"Good morning."

Amamiya Natsuki went into the bathroom, washed up, then came out to eat some bread and milk, and then left for school.

"Natsuki, good morning."

Yotsuya Miko, who had arranged to go to school together, was already waiting at the door.

The two were childhood friends and attended the same school, so going to school together was super normal.

"Miko-chan, good morning." Mrs. Shimizu greeted with a smile.

Looking at Mrs. Shimizu's even dimmer figure than yesterday, Miko's lips twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but look towards Amamiya Natsuki: "Last night…"

Of course, she was engrossed in her phone, what else could it be!

The journey was silent.

Amamiya Natsuki and Miko walked to their classrooms. Since they weren't in the same class, after changing their shoes, they each went to their respective classrooms.

"Kaguya-chan is waiting for us in the clubroom." Mrs. Shimizu whispered, "I already messaged Kaguya-chan when I left this morning."

Mrs. Shimizu sighed as she spoke: "It's a shame I can't bring my phone to school."

"Of course not! If you brought your phone, ordinary people would only see a phone floating in the air, and they'd be scared, wouldn't they?"

Amamiya Natsuki complained as he left the classroom, quickly arriving outside the clubroom door.

"Knock knock."

Amamiya Natsuki raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Miss Ice Princess's clear and pleasant voice came from inside the classroom.

Pushing the door open, only Shinomiya Kaguya was in the clubroom.

Seeing her mother's translucent body, Shinomiya Kaguya helplessly pressed her temples.

A moment later.

The knocking sound echoed again.

"Kaguya-chan, I'm here."

Fujiwara Chika pushed the door open and walked in, accompanied by a Blonde Hot Girl, Kitagawa Marin.

"Natsuki-kun, good morning." The Blonde Hot Girl raised her right hand, greeting him with a bright smile.

"Good morning."

The four chatted for a while, then prepared to open blind boxes together.

"I'll go first, I'll go first."

Fujiwara Chika took the lead, but after opening the Blind Box, her hand was empty.

"Eh?" Kitagawa Marin was startled, exclaiming in surprise, "An empty Blind Box?"

Shinomiya Kaguya pursed her beautiful lips, a familiar sense of déjà vu quickly surging in her heart.

Looking at the pitiful pink-haired girl, Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly and asked:

"…Blind Box mission?"
