"That sow whose nutrition all goes to her chest..."

  When Kaguya woke up that m, she was filled with rese.

  Not for any supernatural reason, no evil spirits, n dealersbbut because of the human-sized plush toy that had g to her all night.

  Under normal circumstahis wouldn't have been a huge problem.

  But the issue was that her so-called 'friend' had an abnormal growth rate, and the inexplicable sensation of soft, spherical pression stantly reminded her of something she didn't have.

  As a result, it wasn't the fear of ghosts or criminals that had kept Kaguya awake, it was her overly affeate friend.

  Her first target of rese? Fujiwara Chika, the "sow" iion.

  Her sed target? Hayasaka Ai.

  "Hayasaka, why didn't you save me st night?"

  She had desperately sent tless pleading g Hayasaka, silently screaming for help.

  But that woman had pletely ignored her.

  Well, not pletely.

  She had reacted by casually saying:

  "Miss Kaguya and Miss Fujiwara really have such a close bond."

  And theurned over ao sleep.

  Even now, just thinking about it made Kaguya's fiwitch with frustration.

  ---

  Of course, Hayasaka wasn't even slightly ed about Kaguya's pints.

  "Miss Kaguya, if you really didn't want to be hugged, you could have broken free anytime."

  "You didn't, which means deep down, you actually e."

  "E?!"

  Kaguya felt her vision go dark.

  "Which part of me looked happy to you?!"

  "I barely got any sleep because Fujiwara wouldn't let go of me all night!"

  "Still, didn't she help take your mind off things?"

  Kaguya opened her mouth then fell silent.

  She waue.

  But she had to admit, the plicated emotions she'd felt yesterday had indeed been pletely overshadowed by Fujiwara's suffog embrace.

  Even so—that wasn't the point!

  She was frustrated, but she had no way to vent it.

  ---

  "Miss Kaguya, shouldn't we go talk to Amamiya now?"

  Hayasaka subtly ged the subject.

  "Talk to Amamiya?"

  Seeing that Kaguya was about to spiral into pettiness, Hayasaka gently reminded her.

  "We still o inform the police about the drug traffickers and make some follow-up pns."

  "This matter…"

  Kaguya hesitated.

  But yes, this was something that o be discussed.

  Now that they knew for certain that there were drug dealers on this isnd, they had to start making the necessary precautions.

  "You're right. We o talk to Amamiya-san."

  She paused, then asked:

  "Where is he now?"

  "Acc to the bodyguards, Amamiya-sa out for a jog early this m."

  Kaguya nodded slightly.

  "I doubt he was just jogging."

  "He robably the isnd's situation."

  Hayasaka nodded in agreement.

  Just then, she spotted a familiar figure approag.

  Ren had returned his hair still damp from a shower.

  She nudged Kaguya lightly.

  "Miss Kaguya, Amamiya's back."

  Kaguya blinked, subsciously smoothing her hair and sitting up straight.

  Just as she was about to stand up—

  Fujiwara beat her to it.

  Kaguya froze mid-motion.

  And then, sat back down with barely restrained frustration.

  Her eyes darkened with rese.

  Why does that well-endowed sow always get in my way?!

  Watg Fujipily chatting with Amamiya, Kaguya felt her eye circles grow heavier.

  She was already sleep-deprived, and now this?

  Finally, after Fujiwara's versation ended, Kaguya stood up decisively and walked over.

  "Amamiya, I o discuss something with you."

  Ren gave a small nod.

  "It's about the drug dealers."

  "Do we o tact the police?"

  Ren thought for a moment, then nodded again.

  "Yes, we do."

  "Given that this isnd is their base, their operations should be spreading outwards."

  "Siokyo is the closest major city, it's likely the first area affected."

  Which meant…

  Before Kaguya could say another word, Ren suddenly raised a hand.

  "Wait."

  Kaguya paused, looking at him in fusion.

  Ren reached into his pocket and pulled out a small phone card.

  "There's o use your own phone."

  "It's too easy to trace back to you, which could cause unnecessary trouble ter."

  His voice was calm and posed.

  "Miss Shinomiya, we are good, w-abiding citizens."

  "We just happeo stumble upon some drug traffig activity."

  "We shouldn't get involved any more than necessary."

  "An anonymous call is the safest option."

  His skilled expnatiohe three girls staring at him with a strange look.

  "…Amamiya, why are you so familiar with this?"

  Fujiwara blurted it out immediately.

  o her, Kaguya and Hayasaka also nodded instinctively.

  This operation was way too smooth.

  It was too practiced.

  ---

  "I've just had to call the police a lot tely."

  Ren said it so matter-of-factly that it almost sounded normal.

  Refleg oring of bizarre is he had dealt with retly, he was actually relieved that he had prepared plenty of disposable phone cards in advance.

  They were a bit inveo use, but virtually untraceable.

  "However, simply calling the police isn't enough."

  "Especially when it es t dealers. If we just file a report, who knows how long it'll take before the police actually act."

  The police wouldn't move immediately.

  They would o firm the report first, which could take too long.

  But some things couldn't wait.

  They o bypass the verification process.

  "Shinomiya-san, you said you didn't hide your whereabouts on this trip, right??"

  "Yes."

  "Fujiwara-san, what about you?"

  "Hmm~ I told my parents that I was going to Tsukikage Isnd with Kaguya for a club activity."

  "Good."

  With that firmatiave a satisfied nod.

  "I'll taspeegure directly."

  "He definitely won't ignore a case involving the heir of the Shinomiya family and the sed daughter of the Fujiwara family."

  His voice remaieady.

  "And if we include Sanzenin, Saginomiya, and Suzuki into the equation…"

  "…The Metropolitan Police Department will have to act immediately."
