Looking at the eerie, empty Corridor, Amamiya Natsuki looked at Mrs. Shimizu and discussed:

"How about we go out and wait first?"

"Of course, we're going to find Kaguya-san and the others." Mrs. Shimizu extended a finger. "Boys who run away from a fight aren't popular."

How can stopping losses in time be called running away from a fight?

Haunted House is supposed to be more thrilling when played alone, right!

"Which way did they run just now?"

Amamiya Natsuki asked.

"I didn't see clearly." Mrs. Shimizu shook her head. "It was so chaotic just now."

What does human chaos have to do with you, a ghost? No one can even touch you!

"Then we can only take it one step at a time." Amamiya Natsuki sighed. "We'll split up to search a wider area."

"I'm scared." Mrs. Shimizu looked pitiful.

Amamiya Natsuki was speechless: "You're a ghost, and you're scared of a Haunted House?"

"I'm a guardian spirit, not a ghost." Mrs. Shimizu corrected. "There's no law that says a guardian spirit can't be scared of a Haunted House."

"Stop talking, it's already getting dark." Amamiya Natsuki complained. "Anyway, let's split up. Inform me immediately if anything happens."

While he said they would split up, Mrs. Shimizu couldn't actually go too far.

However, in the eerie, dim Haunted House, the range of movement was sufficient.

Amamiya Natsuki casually chose a passage and walked forward. To be safe, the Evil Spirit Repelling Aura remained activated, which could prevent him from mistaking evil spirits for Haunted House staff members again.

Not long after he walked, a female player suddenly ran out of a room on the right side of the passage, her face pale and her expression flustered.

"Ah…"

Seeing Amamiya Natsuki standing alone in the middle of the passage, this female player thought she had encountered a ghost, screamed in fright, and turned and ran without a word.

"It's one of the female players from earlier."

Amamiya Natsuki had a slight impression of the girl's bun hairstyle, then his gaze fell on the open door, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Generally speaking, Haunted House players usually run around the passages. Someone alone wouldn't enter a room unless they were very brave.

The girl just now was clearly not a brave person.

Why would she enter a room alone?

Amamiya Natsuki quickly had a guess in his mind. He stepped to the door and pushed it open.

This was the real world. With the Evil Spirit Repelling Aura activated, Amamiya Natsuki felt fearless.

The light in the room was dim, only allowing him to vaguely see a few things.

The decorations seemed to be an ancient wedding room: a dressing table, a bed with drapes, and various small items related to weddings, all quite detailed.

"Is anyone in here?"

Amamiya Natsuki stood at the door of the room, getting straight to the point.

A sweet girl's voice came from the corner: "…Natsuki-kun?"

"It's me."

Amamiya Natsuki turned his head upon hearing this, then stepped towards the corner.

Very good.

There was indeed someone else in the room. He successfully found the lost Kaguya-san.

"Are you alone?" Amamiya Natsuki asked. "Are Fujiwara and Kitagawa here?"

"They're not here."

Shinomiya Kaguya's voice sounded a little unusual.

Amamiya Natsuki walked closer and found Miss Ice Princess sitting on the bed, her pretty face pale and her eyes teary, which immediately shocked him.

What's with that teary-eyed expression of yours?

What happened to not shedding tears even when bleeding? You're just separated, it's not enough to make you teary-eyed!

"What are you doing staying in the room alone?" Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but ask. "Why aren't you leaving?"

"I can't get out." Shinomiya Kaguya's voice was aggrieved, and the emotional fluctuations in her voice were clearly much richer than at school. "Just now, an unfamiliar girl grabbed my wrist and pulled me into this room. When she realized I wasn't someone she knew, she screamed, pushed me away, and ran off, and then…"

Amamiya Natsuki's expression became serious: "Don't tell me you sprained your ankle?"

"No." Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head.

"Then it's fine, continue."

"Then my hair got tangled in something, and I couldn't get it out."

So that's it.

As long as it's not a sprained ankle, it's all good.

"Is your hair untangled?" Amamiya Natsuki asked.

"No."

"Do you want me to help take a look?"

He thought Shinomiya Kaguya, being such a proud young lady, wouldn't accept help from others, but to his surprise, she agreed immediately without any hesitation.

"Okay."

After a pause, Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, looked towards the dressing table, and whispered:

"You turn that mirror away first."

No wonder your eyes are teary! So it's because of the mirror! It seems being pulled into the mirror world in the game last time left a deep psychological shadow on you!

Amamiya Natsuki reached out and placed the mirror face down on the dressing table: "Now you don't have to be afraid."

"I'm not afraid."

Shinomiya Kaguya denied it with her mouth.

Amamiya Natsuki smiled: "Then should I lift the mirror?"

"…"

What a mean man! I'll remember this grudge!

"Why isn't Mom with you?" Shinomiya Kaguya changed the subject.

"Everyone got separated, so Auntie and I split up to find you all." Amamiya Natsuki explained while coming in front of Shinomiya Kaguya and squatting down. "Where is it tangled?"

"Back left." Shinomiya Kaguya pursed her pink lips. "It's inconvenient for me to do it myself."

"Don't move, let me take a look."

Amamiya Natsuki leaned closer. As he and Miss Ice Princess drew nearer, a pleasant, orchid-like fragrance subtly wafted to his nose, exceptionally delightful.

No wonder they say girls are creatures made of spices; it's true.

Their eyes met.

The hazy mist in Miss Ice Princess's eyes was rapidly dissipating. Whether it was his imagination or not, a blush seemed to appear on her face.

Amamiya Natsuki held his breath and quickly focused his attention on Shinomiya Kaguya's back.

"Found it."

Before long, Amamiya Natsuki found the problem. The curtains of this old-style wedding room were usually held in place with clips, and Miss Ice Princess's hair happened to be caught by a clip, so she naturally couldn't leave.

His warm breath on her neck made Shinomiya Kaguya's body tremble slightly, and she instinctively wanted to dodge.

"Don't move," Amamiya Natsuki instructed.

"…"

Shinomiya Kaguya stopped moving, her hands subconsciously gripping the hem of her skirt, and the temperature on her face rapidly rose.

Too close, too close, too close! Men and women should not touch! Hurry up and stop breathing!

Unexpectedly, Shinomiya Kaguya was surprised to find that even though there was breath on her, she seemed… not to dislike it.

A moment later.

"It's untangled." Amamiya Natsuki stood up straight and extended his hand, saying, "You can get up now."

"Mhm."

Shinomiya Kaguya instinctively extended her right hand, placing her delicate hand into Amamiya Natsuki's.

Amamiya Natsuki pulled Miss Ice Princess up with a slight force, then said:

"The Haunted House is messy. You might get caught on something later. Do you want to tie your hair up?"

"Even if you say that, there's nothing suitable right now." Shinomiya Kaguya answered while running her fingers through her hair, trying to calm herself down quickly.

"Here you go." Amamiya Natsuki took out a red hair tie and handed it to Miss Ice Princess. "It's a Blind Box item from yesterday. It's for you."

Shinomiya Kaguya gently moved her pink lips, took the red hair tie, and tied her hair into a red bow similar to Fujiwara's.

Bow-tied Kaguya has officially arrived.
