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

Overjoyed, you immediately decided to prepare the other person as octopus sashimi.

Hey, what the heck is this "aphrodisiac"?

This is the original ghost story, it has no prestige at all!

“However…” Amamiya Natsuki’s eyes brightened, “I’m determined to eat this octopus, not even Jesus could stop me!”

"..."

Never underestimate the male animal's instinctual drive to reproduce.

As long as it can enhance male virility, I'll eat it for you to see!

"Thousand Flowers, unite!"

Amamiya Natsuki decisively gave the order.

"Eh!"

Fujiwara Chika agreed and quickly transformed into a leg accessory, reloading.

Equipment complete.

Natsuki Amamiya reached out and grabbed a blood-stained fire axe, which appeared out of thin air. She then swung it heavily at the attacking octopus tentacles.

puff!

Mucus splatter.

The tips of the octopus tentacles fell off, resembling a gecko's tail, and bounced wildly on the ground.

"Very good, it can be cut."

Amamiya Natsuki gripped the axe with satisfaction.

His physical abilities have now completely surpassed human limits. With a single swing of his axe, he can cleave even a giant tentacle as thick as a person's waist in half.

The tentacle, in pain, quickly retracted along the fire hydrant. Then, a deep, angry roar came from somewhere, rumbling and echoing through the stuffy cabin.

Rumble!

Amamiya Natsuki heard rumbling sounds coming from all directions, as if something was rushing towards them at high speed.

boom!

The fire hydrant above suddenly burst open, and a black tentacle swept over.

Click!

Immediately afterwards, a room door shattered, and a second black tentacle attacked.

In the blink of an eye, four or five enormous tentacles attacked one after another, their black tentacles swirling and almost completely occupying the ship's passageway.

Amamiya Natsuki braced herself with one hand, flipped in mid-air to create distance, and seized the opportunity to chop down with her axe again.

puff!

One of the tentacles was suddenly split in half.

However, the Octopus Tales clearly held a grudge and did not retract its tentacles despite the pain. Instead, it continued to attack, with more tentacles wrapping around it.

Wow!

The door was broken.

Another giant tentacle appeared behind Natsuki Amamiya.

The cabin was already cramped, and this time it completely blocked all of Amamiya Natsuki's escape routes.

"no solution anymore."

Amamiya Natsuki sighed helplessly and had no choice but to put away his axe and make a strategic retreat.

A glimmer of light.

Natsuki Amamiya transformed into a shadow and disappeared from the cabin.

Rumble!

The sweeping tentacles collided, and upon discovering that Natsuki Amamiya was nowhere to be seen, they angrily lashed out, destroying everything around them.

After a while.

Natsuki Amamiya had already sneaked outside the cruise ship, but the duration of her Shadow Form had come to an end, and she could no longer swim back to the beach.

So Natsuki Amamiya exited Shadow Mode, put on a breathing mask, and swam off the cruise ship.

After swimming for a while, Natsuki Amamiya suddenly felt a sinister and terrifying gaze fall coldly on her. She subconsciously turned around and saw a gigantic black shadow coiled on the surface of the cruise ship, its single scarlet eye glaring angrily at her.

hum!

The moment their eyes met, Amamiya Natsuki felt a buzzing in her head, and a violent and irritable urge to destroy everything and herself suddenly surged into her mind. She quickly poured part of her consciousness into the black mud clone to suppress the urge to destroy.

"Psychic attack?"

Amamiya Natsuki frowned and chose to continue looking at him.

After a few seconds.

A prompt then appeared before my eyes.

[You have been subjected to mental pollution; your sanity level has decreased slightly...]

[Through careful observation, you discover that any target touched by the gaze of the supernatural is subject to mental contamination.]

[You grit your teeth, as long as it boosts virility, mental pollution is no problem!]

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

It has to be said that the hint was so practical that there was absolutely no way to refute it.

Seeing that no other prompts appeared, Natsuki Amamiya decisively turned around, suppressed her destructive impulses, and quickly swam towards the surface of the sea. The ghost octopus seemed unwilling to leave the cruise ship, and gave up after chasing it for a while.

After a while.

Wow!

Amamiya Natsuki emerges from the sea.

"It's the president!"

"It's back, it's back!"

"Xiao Kui, don't look."

"Natsuki-kun, hurry up and put your clothes on."

Upon seeing Natsuki Amamiya's return, the girls on the beach rushed over to greet her.

"President?" Kaguya Shinomiya frowned, noticing that Natsuki Amamiya's behavior was off, and asked softly, "What happened?"

Amamiya Natsuki sighed, put on her shorts, then removed the leg accessory, freeing Chika, and said:

"Let Chika speak."

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Having experienced the underwater adventure together, Fujiwara Chika was now full of energy and quickly got dressed, chattering about her adventure, while Amamiya Natsuki added to her stories.

Hayasaka Ai blinked: "Have we finally found the real ghost story?"

“That’s right,” Natsuki Amamiya nodded. “It’s the King Octopus of the Sea.”

“That octopus king was absolutely gigantic.” Fujiwara Chika raised her hands, gesturing exaggeratedly. “When the president escaped the cruise ship, he looked back for a few seconds, and through his perspective, I saw that the octopus king was as big as the cruise ship!”

“That’s an exaggeration,” Natsuki Amamiya said from the side. “But it’s about the same size as the monster from Pirates of the Caribbean.”

Fujiwara Chika puffed out her pink cheeks: "It's definitely super big!"

"Yes Yes."

"..."

After hearing Chika's explanation, the girls finally understood what the most terrifying danger of the nightmare was.

If Natsuki Amamiya hadn't remained conscious, and everyone had been trapped on the sunken cruise ship as ordinary people, then the octopus king, the true form of the ghost story, would have started attacking, like a child grabbing candy from a bottle and occasionally grabbing someone to eat... That would have been truly terrifying and despairing.

"I'm reminded of an old movie, Deep Rising." Senior Yanzi hugged her adopted daughter, her face grim. "If we had stayed on the cruise ship, we would be in grave danger by now, wouldn't we?"

Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms over her chest and whispered:

"It is indeed extremely dangerous."

Submerged in the sea, an enclosed space with nowhere to escape.

As time goes by, the oxygen supply gradually decreases.

They were complete strangers to each other, ordinary people who knew nothing about each other.

There are also tentacle monsters that secretly attack tourists... Just imagining it makes such a nightmare seem too terrifying and too hopeless.

In contrast.

Surviving on a deserted island right now, while tough, is at least ten times easier.

"Don't be discouraged, everyone!" Fujiwara Chika clenched her fists and cheered everyone on. "We've defeated so many bosses, and now we've found the main body of the ghost story. As long as we defeat it, we can leave safely!"

“That’s right.” Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly. “We’re one step closer to clearing the game.”

Hayasaka Ai nodded and said:

"Kaguya-chan is right. It's just a cricket octopus; we won't lose to it."

“There’s something I need to add…” Natsuki Amamiya coughed twice and raised her hand, “That octopus has its own kind of mental pollution. Being stared at by its one eye will cause confusion and a desire for destruction in your mind. The longer it’s there, the more serious the mental pollution becomes.”

Upon hearing this, the girls all frowned.

The octopus in the ocean is already difficult to deal with, but now it also causes mental pollution. Once it looks at you, you will fall into a state of crazy self-destruction.

Doesn't that mean we can't get close at all, let alone attack the other side?

Fujiwara Chika suggested:

"The pure white wedding skin card should be able to resist mental pollution."

Kaguya Shinomiya gently shook her head and said:

"According to the chairman, the Ghost Octopus has thick skin and flesh, so even if you have a skin card, there might not be enough time."
