Kaguya-sama Wants My Surrender!

"Komi-san, would you like to come in and try something?" 

Standing in the doorway and noticing the girl hesitating outside, Amamiya extended an invitation. 

"…" 

Komi quickly shook her head in refusal. 

"Don't worry," Amamiya reassured her. "I'll take full responsibility for any… accidents." 

"…" 

Even so, Komi shook her head again, firmly rejecting the offer. 

(No matter how delicious it might be, I'm not risking it. If something embarrassing like incontinence happens in front of a boy, I'd rather die on the spot!) 

Amamiya raised his voice slightly and added, "Then why don't you head back to the classroom?" 

Hearing those words was like receiving a royal pardon. Komi let out a quiet sigh of relief, bowed quickly in gratitude, and hurriedly turned to leave. 

However, after running only a short distance, she unexpectedly ran into Kaguya. 

"Hm?" 

Kaguya noticed the flustered girl—her face flushed, her demeanor shy and panicked, looking like a startled rabbit. Unable to hold back her curiosity, Kaguya asked, "What's wrong?" 

"…" 

Komi stopped in her tracks, her pretty face a mix of confusion and bewilderment. 

(Strange… Kaguya-san is here, but wasn't that translucent Kaguya-san I just saw in the restroom?) 

Seeing the girl's hesitation and silence, Kaguya quickly deduced the situation. 

(There's no point in asking… She hasn't said a single word since yesterday. Truly frugal with her speech.) 

The corridor fell silent for a brief moment. 

Then, from the direction of the restroom, a low, seductive moan of satisfaction echoed through the air. 

The sound made Komi's body tremble slightly, and the blush on her cheeks deepened even further. 

That single hum could only be described in one word: irresistible. 

Even as a girl, hearing that voice made her blush and her heart race. 

In stark contrast, Kaguya's expression was one of shock and disbelief. 

(That voice… That's my mother's voice?!) 

Her gaze turned toward the restroom, suspicion flaring up within her. 

(And she's with Amamiya?! What on earth are they doing behind my back?!!!) 

Kaguya's delicate eyebrows furrowed sharply, her lips pressed into a tense line. Without another word, she strode past Komi with purpose, heading straight for the restroom. 

After a brief moment of hesitation, Komi cautiously followed behind her. 

(If something goes wrong, maybe I can help...) 

The closer they got to the restroom, the clearer the voices inside became. 

"It felt amazing… Amamiya, you were fantastic today!" 

Kaguya froze as the unmistakable voice of her mother reached her ears. 

Then came Amamiya's calm reply: 

"Thanks for the compliment." 

Shimizu added, "Your tongue tasted so good earlier—let me have another bite." 

"…" 

"T-Tongue?! Tongue?! Tongue?!" 

Hearing this outrageous conversation, Kaguya halted mid-step. Her mind involuntarily replayed memories from a strange dream she had back at the hotel, and an unexplainable discomfort settled over her. 

(Impossible, impossible, impossible!) 

(How could my mother do that with Amamiya? I must have misheard!) 

(But… what else could it mean besides "tongue"?!) 

(It's the restroom, not a restaurant. There's nothing else it could possibly be!) 

The silly young lady's mind automatically conjured the image of Amamiya and her mother embracing in a scandalous scene, and she immediately felt lightheaded. 

(Even if Chika is okay with it, something like this with my mother is absolutely unacceptable!) 

(Wait… Chika… no.) 

(Umi… cross her out.) 

(Sajuna… a minor, cross her out.) 

(No one but me is allowed!) 

Inside the restroom, the muffled sound of conversation continued, deliberately subdued but still audible. 

"I can't stand anymore, Amamiya. My legs are weak… please help me up!" 

"How about we stop here for today?" 

"No! I want more!" 

"…" 

Outside the restroom, Kaguya bit her lower lip nervously, her pearly white teeth pressing tightly. A deep sense of discomfort overwhelmed her. 

She lacked the relevant knowledge to fully comprehend the situation, but if Hayasaka were here, she could have summed it up in a single breath: 

"This is what it feels like to be emotionally violated." 

Seeing Kaguya's trembling form and the crumbling light in her eyes, Komi grew worried. She stepped forward to explain but, constrained by her communication disorder, couldn't say a word. She could only watch helplessly as black mist seemed to emanate from Kaguya's body, a visible manifestation of her spiraling emotions. 

Danger! Danger! Danger! 

Komi felt a chill run down her spine, every fiber of her being screaming at her to run away. 

If this were the dead of night, Kaguya—on the verge of transforming into a vengeful witch—would have grabbed her without hesitation and used her as a key ingredient for some dark potion. 

Panicking, Komi finally had an idea. She frantically pulled out a notebook and pen, scribbled something, and held it out to Kaguya with trembling hands. 

The blackened young lady's eyes flickered slightly before they landed on the notebook. Her long eyelashes trembled as she read the words. 

"…They're just eating dark cuisine?" 

Komi nodded eagerly, like a drowning person clutching at a lifeline. 

Kaguya blinked in surprise. The ominous black mist surrounding her seemed to momentarily dissipate. She took a deep breath, briskly walked to the bathroom door, and peeked inside. 

Inside, Amamiya was holding a bento box in one hand while using chopsticks in the other to feed a piece of dark cuisine to Shimizu. 

Opposite him, Shimizu slightly parted her pink lips, patiently waiting to be fed. 

"…Oops." 

The moment Amamiya heard approaching footsteps, he turned instinctively. When he saw who it was, cold sweat immediately beaded on his forehead. 

Of all people, she was the last one he wanted to see. 

Caught secretly feeding Shimizu, Amamiya couldn't help but brace himself for a volcanic eruption. With Kaguya's personality, she'd surely be furious and demand explanations. 

But to his surprise, Kaguya just stood there for a few moments. She didn't explode or throw a tantrum. Instead, she seemed to relax slightly, letting out a soft sigh of relief. Her lips even curved into a faint smile. 

Something was definitely wrong! 

Amamiya's expression grew wary. 

She caught you cheating with her mom, but instead of getting angry, she smiled… Could this silly young lady have some kind of special fetish? 

"Kaguya-chan, you came just in time~" Shimizu greeted her daughter nonchalantly, displaying remarkable composure. "Mom is just letting Amamiya feed me some food." 

"It's dark cuisine," Amamiya added hastily, sensing the need to clarify. "Sister Shimizu said she wanted to test her ability to taste it. She just finished her work and couldn't wait to try it." 

"Phew…" 

Kaguya exhaled softly, her tension easing. She closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, a hint of reprimand in her voice. 

"Mom, why can't you just eat it yourself?" 

"It's about conserving energy," Shimizu replied confidently. "Mom hasn't replenished her strength for two days. If something unexpected happens later, I need to be in top form to help. It's better to save energy when possible." 

Kaguya had no argument for that. She sighed and shifted her attention to Amamiya. Gently twirling a strand of hair around her finger, she asked casually: 

"Amamiya, what's in the food? Are you sure it's safe for my mom to eat?" 

Relieved that Kaguya wasn't upset, Amamiya's usual confidence returned. He even skipped his signature sarcastic smirk, answering straightforwardly: 

"What she just ate was tongue—" 

"That's enough! Leave now!" 

Kaguya's pretty face flushed bright red. She quickly walked over, grabbed the bento box from his hands, and glared at him. 

"I'll handle it. You're dismissed!"
