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

Amamiya Natsuki quickly changed her clothes and looked at Kaguya, saying:

"Do you want my help?"

“That’s absolutely not necessary.”

Kaguya Shinomiya took out a cloak, put it over herself, and then changed her clothes.

After a while.

The young lady finally changed her clothes, and the two of them walked out of the corner together to meet up with the girls.

"President, President, why are you only coming out so late?"

Fujiwara Chika asked curiously.

"Digging the tunnel took up a lot of time..."

Natsuki Amamiya remained unfazed and began to recount what had happened in the warehouse. Of course, under Kaguya's warning gaze, the punishment game for the infiltrators who were caught was naturally omitted.

"That sounds really interesting!" Fujiwara Chika exclaimed, raising her hand. "I want to dig a tunnel and escape from prison too!"

"It's not fun at all," Kaguya Shinomiya complained, arms crossed. "The soil we dug out was filthy; it felt like there was dirt in my hair."

Hayasaka Ai casually remarked:

"Then I'll take a shower when I get home tonight."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly and said:

I didn't shower yesterday, but I really want to shower today.

"..."

Listening to the topics the girls were discussing, the second passerby girl looked completely bewildered.

Meow meow meow?

What on earth are you talking about?

This is a dangerous dungeon where you could die if you're not careful. Why would you care about taking a bath?

At this moment, the second passerby girl suddenly regretted her decision. Teaming up with these seemingly unreliable guys for survival might not have been a wise choice...

"We'll talk about taking a bath tonight," said Natsuki Amamiya. "Everyone, let's eat something first to replenish our energy."

Upon hearing that they were going to eat, the second passerby girl couldn't help but show a troubled expression.

She went to the cafeteria yesterday, so she knows very well how disgusting the food is, and the prices are extremely expensive. Even the most ordinary dish costs a full three sin coins.

In fact, she failed to meet her dog-related performance targets yesterday and only managed to obtain a little bit of sin coins by exchanging items with other evil spirits at the last minute.

To conserve energy and cope with unexpected situations, I had to hold my nose and eat the cheapest food in the cafeteria.

As a result, last night in the dormitory, my evil spirit roommate stole the last bit of my sin coins.

That's why I was so nervous and scared when I handed in my results today, which led to my being recognized by Hayasaka.

How to do?

Even if I go to the cafeteria, how do I pay for the meal?

In her view, there is no such thing as kindness without a reason.

We're just strangers who met by chance. I just helped her pay her minimum sales target, so I'm sure I won't buy her food for free anymore, right?

next second.

A bag of fragrant meat buns was handed over, followed by Fujiwara Chika's clear voice:

"Meixiang, do you like meat buns?"

"Eh?"

The second passerby girl looked up blankly and was shocked to find that the group had not gone to the cafeteria, but had sat down in a secluded corner of the playground.

Not only that, the pink-haired girl with the bright smile also brought out a bunch of tempting-smelling food.

"Don't you like it?" Fujiwara Chika said casually. "There's also yakisoba bread, chocolate cake, sushi, plum rice balls, you can eat whatever you want."

"N-no, I don't dislike it..." The second passerby girl stammered, subconsciously shaking her head, feeling completely bewildered. "Why... is there food? I tried it, but it's not supposed to be put in the backpack."

“Regular food cannot be put in the backpack.” Hayasaka Ai, who was holding sushi and about to eat, explained, “However, food obtained from blind boxes can be stored in the backpack and then taken out to eat in the dungeon.”

"..."

The second passerby, a young girl, looked completely bewildered, clearly having never heard of this incident before.

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly asked:

"Mika, haven't you registered with the Management Bureau and received your player manual yet?"

"Huh?" The second passerby girl's eyes widened, her expression even more bewildered. "The Management Bureau... what's that?"

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

I didn't realize you were a random, untrained player!

Upon hearing this, Ms. Mitsui put down the food she was holding, her expression turned serious, and she explained:

"The Administration Bureau is an official organization established to deal with ghost stories and games..."

"Players can choose whether to join the Bureau. It is completely voluntary and there is no coercion. Players who join the Bureau can receive a generous monthly salary, and there will be additional rewards once a mission is completed."

"Of course, even if you don't join the Management Bureau, you can still receive a free player manual and a player gift pack after registering to help you adapt to the game and get through the newbie period as quickly as possible..."

"..."

The girl on the street stared wide-eyed, her face filled with shock, and she had only one thought in mind.

A frog at the bottom of a well...

I was trying to carefully conceal my player identity to avoid being discovered in real life, then being captured and dissected for research, but it turns out that an official organization has already been established... I'm clearly the frog at the bottom of the well!

"Wow, there are so many benefits to joining the Management Bureau?" The green tea girl's eyes sparkled. "I really want to join too."

“No problem.” Ms. Mitsui smiled professionally. “As long as the player’s identity is verified, they can join the Management Bureau. Compared to the current situation, we value the player’s potential more.”

"Mika-chan, hurry up and eat," Fujiwara Chika reminded her. "Everyone's almost finished eating."

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

The girl, who was the second passerby, came to her senses and quickly lowered her head to eat her bread.

The soft and sweet bread provides immense satisfaction to the taste buds as you chew it.

In contrast, the food in the cafeteria yesterday was barely edible, but now it's practically pig swill.

After swallowing the bread in her mouth and subconsciously taking the glass of water handed to her by Fujiwara Chika, the second passerby girl finally realized what was happening:

These players in front of us are definitely not ordinary players!

Eat and drink enough.

The already gloomy sky had completely darkened.

"President," Fujiwara Chika raised her hand and said, "Shall we go help Mika-chan complete her side quest?"

Having grown up surrounded by love and justice, Secretary Qianhua has never been exposed to the darkness of the world and possesses a truly pure and selfless heart, always ready to help others without expecting anything in return.

“Okay.” Natsuki Amamiya nodded in agreement. “I’m just killing time anyway.”

"Eh?"

The second passerby girl stared blankly over.

The girl, who had seemed to have calmed down, showed a shocked expression again.

Can you also help complete side quests?

Why does it sound like something as simple as just helping someone buy a drink?

"Give me your hand." Natsuki Amamiya looked at the second passerby girl. "I'll help you apply the skill first."

"Thank you, thank you..."

The pedestrian on the second side of the road was flustered and hurriedly stretched out his little hand.

Faced with an unfamiliar girl, Amamiya Natsuki naturally wouldn't do anything to bully her; she simply gently held her fingertips.

"Ok?"

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly raised an eyebrow slightly, a look of surprise on her face.

When he was pasting the skills, he suddenly discovered that this seemingly timid and weak girl actually possessed two skills.

Was it good luck, or something extraordinary?

Natsuki Amamiya prefers the latter.

Green tea is a form of protection.

Feigning cowardice should also be considered a form of protection.

"What, what's wrong?"

The second passerby, a young girl, looked over nervously.

"fine."

Amamiya Natsuki shook her head and didn't say anything more.

It's perfectly normal for players to conceal their information in order to survive; many even sell their bodies. Everyone knows this, so there's no need to say it aloud.

The pasting skill takes five minutes, and with nothing else to do, Natsuki Amamiya curiously checked out the two skills of the girl Mika.

When using Fate Link, you can probe the other party's skills, but you can only get general information and cannot know the specific skill effects.

One is the passive ability of skill, the other is the active skill...

"Dream Link? What exactly does it mean?"

Discovering that it was a new skill he had never encountered before, Amamiya Natsuki's curiosity was piqued, so he casually copied the skill.

After a while.

"Pasting complete."

Amamiya Natsuki withdrew her right hand and took the opportunity to check the skills she had just copied.
