Kaguya-sama: Love Is War wants me to turn myself in.

"Is she the one?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at him questioningly.

“That’s right.” Mizuhara Chizuru nodded slightly. “The target of the role-playing mission is her.”

Natsuki Amamiya looked into the ward and saw a very beautiful woman inside, with a sweet and alluring smile.

"Sato-kun, watch out."

The nurse swiftly stepped in front of Amamiya Natsuki, blocking her path.

What are this patient's symptoms?

Amamiya Natsuki asked curiously.

The nurse said sternly, "She's a widow maker."

Hey, what's with this nickname?

This seemingly delicate woman has absolutely no connection to the leader of the criminal gang!

“She had come to the hospital for a checkup before, but all the doctors who were in charge of seeing her have disappeared,” the nurse explained in a low voice. “Later, they managed to subdue the patient at a crime scene… She has two personalities, one of which is very dangerous, like a spider, that drains the men it sets its sights on before devouring them.”

Amamiya Natsuki murmured, "The literal meaning?"

“That’s right.” The nurse nodded. “Before this hospital, there were quite a few cases of patients and doctors going missing. All the missing persons were men, and it’s very likely that they were all related to this other party.”

In other words, does this beautiful lady frequently come to the hospital to find food?

Targeting pitiful, weak, and helpless men, playing with them first and then taking advantage of them—what a horrible nighttime hospital ward scenario!

Amamiya Natsuki lowered her head and said:

"That's all for today, Mieko. Shall we head back?"

"I got it, Dad."

The little girl, Chizuru, nodded obediently.

It's really impossible to bring someone out in front of so many people.

It's better to leave first and then make further plans; at least we now know where our goal is.

Natsuki Amamiya carried the little girl Chizuru out of the building. At the exit, she waved goodbye to the reluctant nurse and then left.

The two came to the corner.

Amamiya Natsuki released the little girl Chizuru's hand and whispered:

"When I brought Zhu Zhu out before, I used a substitute tactic..."

After hearing the previous action plan, Loli Chizuru quickly frowned and began to think seriously.

The character's quest requires them to find the mother, who is likely not the player and therefore cannot cooperate with the player to escape the ward.

Should we force our way in?

doesn't work.

Chizuru Mizuhara quickly shook her head, banishing the thought from her mind.

There are many ways to clear a dungeon, but brute force is the most foolish choice. Although players are stronger than ordinary people, they have no advantage whatsoever against the vengeful spirits they face.

Once their identities are exposed, things will only get worse.

"Let's not think about that too much for now..." Mizuhara Chizuru sighed softly. "Natsuki-kun, thank you for your hard work. Shall we go back to the restaurant?"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:

"Let's go back."

They left the inpatient department in silence and quickly returned to the restaurant.

"Natsuki-kun, you're back!" Fujiwara Chika, who was entertaining guests, brightened up and happily greeted them, whispering, "How did it go?"

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

Fujiwara Chika raised her hand and said, "Of course it's good news."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Miss Chizuru's mission objective has been found."

"What about the bad news?"

"The guards are too tight; we can't get them out."

"..."

After a while.

Apart from the senior student who was still organizing a fishing competition outside, everyone else temporarily gathered in the kitchen to discuss countermeasures.

"Two heads are better than one." Amamiya Natsuki leaned against the door. "We've heard the situation. Does anyone have any ideas?"

Kitagawa Kaimu, with her right hand on her hip, offered the following suggestion:

"Is it possible to rescue someone through a window, like in the movies?"

Zhu Zhu shook her head and said, "It's impossible. There are no windows in the intensive care unit; it's a sealed room."

Fujiwara Chika raised her hand and said:

"How about using a combination of methods to crack down on organized crime and imprison them one by one?"

“There are six nurses and eight security guards in the guard area,” Natsuki Amamiya said. “And I asked Ms. Sasaki, and she said that the security guards can call for backup at any time if there is any abnormality.”

Losing one or two people might not matter, but if too many companions are missing, it will definitely arouse suspicion. Calling for backup at that time could put you in danger instead.

Hayasaka Ai held up one finger: "How about using a life cheat device?"

"Hey, what's that?"

“It’s a ladder,” junior Hayasaka said seriously. “An experiment was conducted abroad. As long as you have a ladder and wear a staff uniform, you can easily enter and exit any kind of high-end hotel or museum.”

“This method might allow us to get in,” said Natsuki Amamiya. “But how do we get out?”

Hayasaka Ai whistled: "Senpai is so smart, she must be able to think of a solution, right?"

"I'm sorry, I had no idea."

"..."

Chizuru Mizuhara bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and as time went by, her heart sank lower and lower.

On the way back, she kept thinking about how to complete the task, but she couldn't think of a suitable way no matter what.

At this moment, the silly young lady, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up and said:

"I've thought of a way that might work."

"Hey, what method?"

Everyone looked over.

Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her left arm over her chest, rested her chin on her right hand, and surveyed the crowd with her beautiful eyes. Her voice, echoing with the timbre of the night, said:

“We can step outside our current perspective and look to a higher level… In this private hospital, whose orders do the nurses and security guards take?”

A sudden inspiration struck Amamiya Natsuki, and she said:

"The hospital director?"

Upon hearing this, the others quickly realized what was happening.

“That’s right. Those nurses and security guards are all following orders. As long as the director gives them an order to release Sister Chizuru’s mother, they wouldn’t dare to refuse.”

"It's highly feasible; it's much easier to catch a lone dean."

"If you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who created it."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the silly young lady and gave her a thumbs up in praise:

"Kaguya is indeed incredibly intelligent."

Kaguya Shinomiya's pink lips curled slightly upward: "It was just a sudden inspiration."

Amamiya Natsuki continued, "No wonder you were able to get second place in your grade."

The silly young lady puffed out her pink cheeks and couldn't help but complain, "You don't need to say the second half of the sentence! I will definitely take back the top spot in the grade in the next final exam!"

Of all the people, the happiest was none other than Mizuhara Chizuru.

"thank you all!"

Mizuhara Chizuru bowed deeply in gratitude.

Capturing the hospital director and then using him to "command the others" was indeed a path she had never considered.

Once successful, rescuing the mother who is playing the role will be a piece of cake.

Natsuki Amamiya pressed her temples and sighed:

"I feel like life is becoming more and more unpredictable."

He runs a shady business, makes money out of thin air, cooks dishes with Hextech technology, kidnaps and coerces female doctors, manipulates the feelings of nurses, and is now planning to target the hospital director... If the truth is exposed, he will definitely be beaten up immediately.

"Everyone, calm down," Kitagawa Kaimu said. "The most urgent thing is to find out where the hospital director is. Could he be outside the hospital?"

Zhu Zhu shook her head and said, "It's unlikely. Even the dean can't abandon his post without permission."

Hayasaka Ai put her hands behind her back: "We really don't know where the dean's office is or what his name is, but surely someone does?"

Fujiwara Chika clenched her pink fist and said:

"Our next goal is to find the dean and use him to command the others."

"Um..." The unlucky woman walked in from outside and said cautiously, "The customer is getting impatient and keeps urging us to place the order."

"They've arrived," Secretary Qianhua replied reflexively. "I'll go greet them right away."

Amamiya Natsuki followed up, saying, "Let's get to work first, and we'll talk about other things after we finish the work."
