Kaguya-sama Wants Me to Surrender

"Take off your school uniform first—be careful not to wrinkle it."

Yotsuya Miko gave the instructions calmly.

Amamiya Natsuki peeled off his school uniform. "Where's the shirt underneath?"

"You don't need to take that off." Miko sounded a bit lazy. "Hurry up and lie down. I need to step on you, then finish my homework and prepare dinner… so annoying."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Miko."

Natsuki folded the uniform and placed it neatly on the chair. He then lay flat on the floor, turning his head to look at Miko.

Her legs were very white.

The girl who had just finished bathing had exceptionally pale, smooth skin.

Looking up from below, her legs looked straighter and longer.

Thinking about being stepped on by those legs soon, Natsuki felt… nothing at all.

Maybe it was because he'd been stepped on back in junior high?

"Shall I start?"

Miko covered her chest with one hand and asked softly.

"Go ahead." Natsuki lay flat on his back. "Please be gentle at first."

"Gentle? What's gentle about this?"

Miko complained with a smile. "Perverts who like to lie on the floor and get stepped on always prefer it rougher."

"…"

Miko raised her right foot, her cute toes curled slightly. Her snow-white foot arched gently as she carefully stepped on Natsuki's back.

Her cheeks flushed as she softly asked, "How does it feel?"

"Not strong enough." Natsuki complained. "A cat stepping on someone is heavier than you."

"That was just one foot." Miko puffed up her cheeks. "Now I'm going to stand on you."

She took a deep breath and carefully put her full weight on Natsuki's back.

Suddenly, a subtle feeling stirred in her heart.

(Natsuki has grown up—his back is so much broader than that summer vacation…)

"How is it now?"

Suppressing the sudden emotion, Miko asked again.

"Hmm…" Natsuki was silent for two seconds. Then, in a soft voice, he said, "Miko, I have a question."

"Ask."

"Promise you won't hit me first."

Miko frowned suspiciously. "What do you want to ask?"

"Promise first."

"Okay, I promise. I won't hit you."

"Then… do you weigh more than 100 kilograms now?"

"…"

Miko's pretty face froze. Then she stomped hard.

Weight is a taboo topic for girls. Asking that means you're calling her fat!

No wonder even a lazy person gets angry!

Click.

"It's broken! My waist is broken!" Natsuki said hurriedly.

"It doesn't matter. We can just tear it off and donate it to people in need."

"Master Miko, you're so magnanimous. Please forgive me."

"…"

After stepping on his back for a while, the door suddenly opened.

An elementary school student peeked inside.

"I heard some strange noises downstairs, so I came to check…" His eyes widened in disbelief.

"Sis, are you playing S&M games with Natsuki?"

Hey, you're just an elementary school kid, but you know too much!

"I'm not playing that kind of game, you misunderstood!" Miko's cheeks flushed bright red as she hurriedly denied it.

Even the laziest person would feel embarrassed being caught cheating by their younger brother.

Natsuki sat up. "Your sister is just stepping on my back."

"No need to explain, I understand." The kid closed the door quietly, leaving a meaningful look behind.

"Sis, you and Natsuki keep playing. I promise I won't tell anyone."

Click.

The door closed.

Miko wanted to rush over and explain, but she lost her footing and stepped on empty air.

Natsuki reacted quickly and caught her with his body.

Bang.

A dull thump sounded.

Miko sat directly on him. Her silky hair fell forward, and the pleasant fragrance of shampoo and shower gel filled Natsuki's nose—it smelled especially good.

"…"

Their eyes met.

The room fell silent.

The temperature between them quietly rose.

"Crack."

The door opened again.

The elementary school student poked his head in. "It's too loud." He said expressionlessly, "I still have homework to do with my friends. Sis, you should go to Natsuki's room and play quietly."

"And…"

"Take safety measures. If you accidentally get pregnant, it'll be a headache for mom."

Miko's pretty face flushed deeper. She quickly sat up and shouted, "How can a primary school kid know so much?!"

"What's wrong with that?" The kid said calmly, "Miki from the corner house has already had three boyfriends."

Miko: "…"

You really can't underestimate elementary school kids.

Natsuki recalled the recent 100-man kill mission. He thought Kaguya Shinomiya would win 100 games in a row, but several powerful elementary school kids had beaten her so badly that she had no chance to fight back.

"Anyway, it's not what you think." Miko took a deep breath and made up an excuse. "Natsuki said he had back pain and asked me to help him with it. That's all."

Natsuki nodded. "Whatever your sister says, that's it."

"Brother Natsuki, you should date my sister soon." The kid sighed and looked at Natsuki. "If you wait any longer, my sister will become an old woman no one wants."

Miko clenched her fists and her eyes twitched. "Kyousuke!!"

"…"

Bang.

The door slammed.

The elementary school kid went downstairs with heavy footsteps.

"Let's stop for today." Natsuki sat up, rubbing his waist. "Come to my room tomorrow."

"I'm not going." Miko turned her face away. "Let Kyousuke step on you tomorrow."

"Kyousuke's too weak. I need Master Miko's help."

After putting on his clothes, Natsuki felt a warm current spreading from his waist through his limbs and bones.

The trampling energy was slowly converting into bioenergy.

He clenched his right fist, feeling his strength increase slightly.

You really can become stronger by lying down—this is a magical skill!

Natsuki went downstairs to the living room and saw his younger brother studying with a local elementary school girl. They looked very close.

"Kyousuke is definitely better than you." Natsuki muttered, looking at Miko.

Miko, with her lazy eyes, stretched out her hand and pinched Natsuki's waist. "You can go home now."

"…"

Natsuki said goodbye and left.

"I'm back."

He opened the fridge and saw another rotten evil spirit head lurking inside.

It seemed to like cold places like Arctic penguins.

"You… can see me?"

A hollow murmur came from the ghost's mouth.

Natsuki calmly replied, "I can see you."

"See… can you really see me?"

The ghost's eyes glowed scarlet as it flew out, opening its mouth to bite. "I can see… I can eat you now!"

Natsuki silently activated the evil spirit repelling halo and purified the spirit in an instant.

That night passed quietly.

The next day at school.

As Natsuki walked into class, Kaguya approached, biting her lower lip nervously.

"After school this afternoon, I need to ask you something."
