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

Crash.

He casually tore open the cloth bag, and the blood-stained coins rolled all over the ground. In the dim candlelight, they reflected the color of the blood, and even the air seemed to be filled with a faint smell of blood.

Every penny of the money swindled from ordinary people is stained with blood and sin.

"You didn't lie to me after all..." Madam Yasakani put down her black tea, sat up slightly, and looked at Natsuki Amamiya across the table. "What an interesting little fellow. I must say, you have successfully piqued my curiosity."

Amamiya Natsuki said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Bachi."

The eight-foot-tall lady rested her chin on her right hand and suddenly sighed:

"It's a pity you've passed your expiration date. If you were only twelve, I might allow you to do some fun things."

Don't be ridiculous, a twelve-year-old elementary school student can't possibly drive a big vehicle!

Natsuki Amamiya said in a serious tone:

"Miss, I just look older than my age. Actually, I'm just twelve years old this year."

"Heh." Madam Yachi chuckled softly, sticking out her pink tongue to gently lick her red lips. "Interesting little fellow, I suddenly feel a little reluctant to kill you."

Amamiya Natsuki remained calm and showed no fear.

Lady Bachi was very confident in her martial arts skills.

Coincidentally, Natsuki Amamiya is also very confident in her abilities.

Even the god-level Hiruko-sama has faced him directly; the eight-foot-tall cricket lady is truly not something to be afraid of.

Seeing Amamiya Natsuki's calm demeanor, Lady Hachisha narrowed her eyes slightly, but instead of making a move, she picked up her teacup again, took a sip, and said:

"Little one, what do you want to ask me?"

Amamiya Natsuki asked curiously:

"Who was that woman Miss Yatachi was talking about?"

The eight-foot-tall lady casually said:

"A guy who always covers his face with his hair and never shows his true face."

Amamiya Natsuki: "..."

your sister!

A woman who always covers her face with her hair... who else could it be but Sadako?

Amamiya Natsuki quickly made a guess.

As far as we know, some special characters in the game, such as Sadako and the yandere Kaguya, can travel between different instances, possess their own will and emotions, and are not puppets manipulated by the game.

Given that, it's quite normal for evil spirits to know each other, right?

It's quite plausible that Sadako and the Eight-Foot Lady, both urban legends, knew each other.

Amamiya Natsuki coughed lightly and asked tentatively:

"Is Madam referring to Miss Sadako?"

"So you do know her." Madam Bachi took a sip of her red tea, her posture elegant. "With such a strong scent, she actually managed to survive. The little one is quite remarkable."

Hey, just surviving is already pretty good, right?

If you knew that Sadako almost went on maternity leave, you'd probably drop your cup!

Amamiya Natsuki asked curiously:

"Excuse me, what is the relationship between Madam and Miss Sadako?"

The eight-foot-tall lady tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying:

"Well, let's just call her a friend. I spent some time with her before."

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said:

"Since we're friends, then there's no problem."

If they are enemies, they might fight when they meet, but if they are friends, they can sit down and talk things over.

Natsuki Amamiya raised her right hand and snapped her fingers lightly.

Snapped!

As he moved, the three evil spirit maids were about to step forward to subdue him, but the next second, Sadako, wearing a white dress and with her black hair covering her face, suddenly appeared out of thin air.

call……

A chilly breeze swept by, and the candlelight on the dining table flickered under Miss Sadako's aura.

"Um?!"

Madam Bachi subconsciously sat up straight, and a look of surprise finally appeared on her face.

On the other hand, Miss Sadako was clearly confused when she was suddenly summoned to an unfamiliar environment. When she saw Natsuki Amamiya next to her, she quickly hid behind Natsuki Amamiya and even reached out to grab the hem of Natsuki Amamiya's clothes.

Seeing this, Lady Hachi was even more shocked. She spilled a little of her tea, took a deep breath, put down her teacup, and looked at Amamiya Natsuki seriously for the first time, asking curiously:

"Little one, what's your relationship with Sadako?"

Natsuki Amamiya responded with a smile:

"To be precise, it's the relationship between the boss and the employee."

The eight-foot-tall lady frowned slightly:

"What do you mean?"

“It means exactly what it says.” Natsuki Amamiya pulled Sadako out from behind her. “Aren’t you and Sadako friends? You can talk to each other.”

After a pause, Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"If you are willing to work for me, my wife, I will offer you a monthly salary of one million, five social insurances and one housing fund, weekends off, and I guarantee to meet all your requirements."

That's right.

Amamiya Natsuki did indeed want to recruit the Eight-Foot Lady.

Dungeons are about human relationships and social interactions, not about fighting and killing. Things that can be solved with money and power are things that only barbarians insist on using knives and guns.

Lady Eight Feet: "..."

He wanted to twist his head off; this guy actually wanted to hire him?

"Miss Sadako, I'm entrusting the task of persuading Madam to you." Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at the bewildered Miss Sadako and made a promise, "If you can successfully recruit Madam Hachi-tachi, I'll get you a brand new large-screen TV and the latest mahjong table. You can play mahjong whenever you want... Good luck!"

Miss Sadako hadn't quite figured out what was going on, but upon hearing the promise, she happily clenched her fist and whispered in response:

“Come on!”

Lady Eight Feet: "..."

Something is wrong!

Something is wrong!

The eight-foot-tall lady felt her worldview had been shaken, and even wondered if she was hallucinating.

Even during the days I worked with Sadako, I never heard her say a word. Now she's actually clenching her fist and saying "Go for it!" in an expectant tone.

You're an urban legend, why should you obediently listen to a human?

"and many more--"

Suddenly, the eight-foot-tall lady thought of a possibility.

Could it be that... Sadako has been trained to take the form of that human?

Bearing the mission of recruiting her, Miss Sadako mustered her courage and came to the side of the Eight-Foot Lady. Fortunately, both of them were urban legends and still had a familiar relationship. If it were a strange evil spirit, given Miss Sadako's social anxiety, she might not have dared to speak to it.

Unfortunately, even though they were acquaintances, Miss Sadako's speech was still intermittent, and she only repeated those few dry sentences over and over again.

"You actually want to hire me?" Madam Yasha picked up her cup again, looking curiously at Natsuki Amamiya. "Little one, why do you think I would agree to your offer?"

"I only know Sadako and we can barely be considered friends, but it's impossible for me to give up my career for her."

Amamiya Natsuki interlaced her fingers, temporarily abandoning her plan to transform into Cao Cao, and confidently said:

"Although the lady is in charge of the entire park, she doesn't experience true happiness, does she?"

The eight-foot-tall lady was taken aback and said:

"What do you mean?"

“It’s very simple…” Natsuki Amamiya smiled and said, “As long as you become my employee, you can let Madam experience true ‘living’.”

Whether they are evil beings in the dungeon or ghosts in reality, they all hate humanity madly. Once they are discovered, they will kill without hesitation. Only a few can maintain their sanity.

After numerous studies and experiments, the Bureau of Ghost Stories finally discovered the cause—

Because of emptiness.

Evil spirits are not living beings. Even an eight-foot-tall woman with a body is not a living being. Without a truly vibrant life, one cannot experience any real sense of existence. Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness will all disappear rapidly with the passage of time, leaving only endless emptiness in the end.

Jealousy is one of humanity's original sins.

Evil spirits transformed from humans, though devoid of vibrant life, do not dissipate the original sin of jealousy. Tormented by endless emptiness, they ultimately develop a mad hatred and envy for all living beings—this is the case with Mrs. Kaguya.

Before obtaining the theater rule card, Mrs. Kaguya spent her days and nights playing on her phone and reading comics without a moment's rest, because she wanted to use spiritual satisfaction to combat the emptiness of her soul.

Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"Madam should know Miss Sadako very well. She knows that Miss Sadako does not lie. As long as she becomes my employee, she can truly live in the theater like a living being."

The eight-foot-tall lady silently put down her red tea, her fingers lightly tapping the table, and said in a low voice:

"Words alone are not enough; how will you prove yourself?"

“There’s no way to prove it right now,” Natsuki Amamiya said sincerely. “Only after the lady and I sign a contract and become employees can she enter the theater.”

This is where the problem lies.

To sign a contract, the other party must be completely willing; coercion is not allowed, nor is the use of mentally manipulative abilities permitted. However, verbal agreements are not convincing, so even now, only a handful of employees, including Ms. Sadako, have signed contracts.

The eight-foot-tall lady gently raised her delicate eyebrows, her tone turning cold as she said:

"So you're lying to me?"
