Gently trembling bunny ear accessories.
A cute black bow tied at the chest.
Black fishnet stockings.
Extremely form-fitting black and white uniform...
Under the dim streetlamp ahead, a charming and lovely wild Bunny Girl stood, her eyes sparkling.
And her features were picturesque, exceptionally familiar.
It was just a pity that the curve of her chest was so meager it was sigh-inducing.
"Eh, eh, eh?!"
Fujiwara Chika was shocked: "That person actually looks exactly like Kaguya-chan!"
Juju nodded: "She really does."
Although she had only seen Kaguya once, the impression in her mind was quite deep; no one who saw such a beautiful girl would forget her.
Only Komi blinked, her expression bewildered.
"Is there a possibility," Amamiya Natsuki glanced at the two girls, his tone subtle, "that it really is Kaguya-san?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Fujiwara Chika shook her head, completely disbelieving. "That's a Bunny Girl uniform! How could Kaguya-chan suddenly appear wearing that kind of clothing... It must be a Ghost Story disguised as Kaguya-chan!"
Nothing is impossible.
A mere Bunny Girl, she's not even wearing it for the first time; you just don't know it.
Amamiya Natsuki walked up to the wild Bunny Girl and said earnestly:
"Miss Bunny Girl, please prove your identity, otherwise you'll be in danger."
Shinomiya Kaguya covered her chest with her right hand, bit her pink lip lightly, and gave him an annoyed glare.
"First, the password." Fujiwara Chika walked to Amamiya Natsuki's side, her eyes vigilant. "Odd change, even no change."
"...Symbol depends on quadrant."
Fujiwara Chika pointed a finger: "You hesitated just now!"
Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."
It's such a strange password; it's normal to hesitate a bit when answering!
"No, the password could be leaked. For example, if a Ghost Story captures Kaguya-chan and tortures her into revealing it." Fujiwara Chika's pretty face tensed. "I'll ask you a few more questions."
"What's my favorite dessert?" Fujiwara Chika asked. "If it's the real Kaguya-chan, she'll definitely know the answer."
"Strawberry daifuku."
"And your favorite game?"
"Monopoly."
"What's my dog's name?"
"Pace."
"..."
"You actually answered all of them correctly." Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you really Kaguya-chan?"
Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lip, covering her chest with both hands: "Who else could I be?"
"But I remember you were wearing a school uniform; how did you turn into a Bunny Girl in the blink of an eye?"
As Fujiwara Chika spoke, she reached out a finger and poked Shinomiya Kaguya's pale, slender arm: "Your body is so cold, no warmth at all."
"That's because the weather is too cold!"
As she spoke.
A Mrs. Shimizu emerged from Amamiya Natsuki's shadow, stretched out her arms, and pounced to hug Shinomiya Kaguya.
"Kaguya-chan, you worked hard, rub-rub~"
"..."
Seeing such a bizarre scene, Komi's eyes widened, and she started trembling again.
"Don't be afraid." Amamiya Natsuki looked over. "It's an ally."
After confirming the wild Bunny Girl's identity, Fujiwara Chika immediately became happy and began to recount her experiences after entering the game.
"At first, I turned into a koi fish, swimming around in a fish tank. I was super scared then, I even thought I would drown..."
"Later, we heard someone saw a human who resembled you, so we went to look for them. We encountered Madame, who could actually rewrite other people's memories... Finally, we managed to escape with great difficulty and saved Komi along the way."
"Just now at the Convenience Store, there was a terrifying Grandma..."
Without giving Shinomiya Kaguya a chance to interject, Fujiwara Chika finished recounting her dungeon experiences since they separated, letting out a satisfied sigh, then asked curiously:
"Kaguya-chan, why are you wearing a Bunny Girl uniform?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Kaguya.
Needless to say, she must have used the Shadow Cat Transformation skill.
Even if it 'drops' clothes every time she uses it, it's still a super practical skill.
"This is the effect of a dress-up card." Shinomiya Kaguya turned her pretty face away, covering her chest, and explained in a low voice, then said, "I was just with Kitagawa."
Amamiya Natsuki heard this and looked behind Kaguya.
Empty.
There was no sign of the Blonde Hot Girl.
Juju stood quietly beside them; now hearing Marin's name, her spirits lifted, and she quickly said:
"Where's Marin?"
"Still inside the Ghost Story." Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head, her expression grave. "Only I escaped with a skill."
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Tell me the specifics."
Shinomiya Kaguya nodded slightly, recounting her experience after entering the instance.
She and Marin had spawned in the same location within the instance, and as soon as they landed, they encountered a Ghost Story.
"It was a warm hotel," Shinomiya Kaguya pursed her pink lips, whispering, "The Ghost Stories inside... it was strange, it kept resetting."
"What do you mean by resetting?"
Fujiwara Chika raised her right hand, asking curiously.
"Things that had already happened would be experienced again from the beginning," Shinomiya Kaguya said, "It kept restarting."
Juju tilted her head: "Similar to a song on a loop?"
"Something like that," Shinomiya Kaguya continued, "But it's not just the restarts; there's an even more dangerous situation. Besides Marin and me, there were other players in the hotel."
"Everyone was searching for a way to leave the hotel together, but during one of the restarts, one of the players somehow had an accident. After the restart, they lost all their previous memories and became a stranger."
At this point, Shinomiya Kaguya looked up at Amamiya Natsuki and said:
"Marin-chan said that the 'Backstabbing Hero' who kept appearing in the narration must be you."
"That's right," Amamiya Natsuki nodded, "It's me. Looks like my efforts weren't in vain."
Shinomiya Kaguya continued:
"Just before the fourth restart was about to begin, I tried using my Dark Shadow, and unexpectedly, I successfully left the hotel through the Dark Shadow. After that, I saw your map posted at the intersection, so I came looking for you."
Before entering the game, Kitagawa Marin hadn't taken the 'Dark Shadow Cat' skill; she only had one Seize and Eliminate Evil, so she couldn't escape with them.
After listening, Fujiwara Chika quickly clenched her fist and said:
"Let's go to the hotel and rescue Marin-chan!"
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Shinomiya: "Was Seize and Eliminate Evil used up?"
"Marin and I used it up," Shinomiya Kaguya nodded lightly, "Unfortunately, it still reset in the end."
Amamiya Natsuki extended his right hand and said:
"It seems the target was wrong."
Shinomiya Kaguya extended her hand in turn, and their hands naturally clasped together.
Komi looked on curiously.
Holding hands... are they dating?
The next second.
Fujiwara Chika, from the other side, proactively took Amamiya Natsuki's left hand.
"Hmm?!"
Komi's eyes widened in surprise.
Three... three people holding hands?
Why?
Are all three of them dating together?
