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

[Item: Mermaid Tears]

[In ancient times, mermaids would weep pearls under the moon, from which a trace of lunar power could be extracted, with a chance to enhance items or skills.]

[Can I take it out of the instance?]

【Yes】

Compared to treasures like porcelain, silk, gold, and jewelry, the real treasures are those that can be brought into the game.

Kitagawa Kaimu put her right hand on her hip and said in a clear voice, "Take it, take it all."

boom.

A dull thud suddenly sounded behind them.

Natsuki Amamiya turned her head and saw a huge tentacle covered with suckers slamming onto the ground.

Only then did the group notice a small, inconspicuous transparent fish tank in the corner, containing a small, grayish-white octopus.

At this moment.

As the octopus crawled out of the tank, its tentacles and body grew at an incredible speed, quickly transforming into a giant octopus... It was clearly the Tentacle Monster in its entirety!

A prompt appeared before Natsuki Amamiya's eyes.

[Name: Paul the Octopus]

[Race: Sea Monster]

[Note: I really want to drill into something]

It's normal for monsters to guard the treasure room, right?

Chapter 132 Is a PY deal wrong?

"A tentacle monster!"

Kitagawa Kaimu was startled and quickly grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's arm.

Hayasaka Ai's expression changed slightly, and her eyes twitched gently.

Girls have an innate fear of tentacle monsters.

Ok.

It's not just girls.

Amamiya Natsuki also felt a little apprehensive upon seeing this.

Anyone would be terrified if they saw such a huge tentacle monster.

"It's an octopus."

A strange voice suddenly rang in their minds.

Octopuses do have mouths, but they obviously can't speak human language; the voices that resonate directly in one's mind are more like a form of telepathy.

"Huh?" Kitagawa Kaimu was taken aback, her eyes widening. "A talking tentacle monster!"

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki reached out and covered Kitagawa's mouth, saying calmly and confidently:

"Mr. Octopus, is there anything I can help you with?"

“Humans, for the sake of awakening me, put down the treasures you hold.” Paul the Octopus stretched out his tentacles, his massive body blocking the entire doorway, continuing his telepathic communication, “I will allow you to leave here unharmed.”

Natsuki Amamiya said calmly:

"What if we want to leave with the treasure?"

“Let’s play a game.” Paul the Octopus stretched out his tentacles and pulled out an old-fashioned flintlock pistol from somewhere. “Human, pick up the flintlock pistol and shoot yourself in the head.”

"If you haven't died, then you're allowed to leave with one treasure."

Cheating!

Isn't this just standard Russian roulette?

Both sides risked their lives; the winner took all, and the loser went straight to meet God.

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the flintlock pistol in front of her, and a prompt quickly appeared before her eyes.

I bet this gun is empty.

your sister!

At a time like this, you should at least give me a more definitive answer!

"No." Kitagawa Kaimu hugged his arm tightly, biting her lower lip with her teeth, her tone resolute, "That kind of game is too dangerous, you must not play it."

Hayasaka Ai echoed, "Don't be impulsive."

"I really wasn't acting impulsively..."

Natsuki Amamiya looked away from the flintlock pistol; she had made her decision.

If you risk your life playing a game of Russian roulette, and can only take one thing with you in the end?

Children make choices; adults want it all!

“Mr. Octopus,” Natsuki Amamiya said neither humbly nor arrogantly, “please allow us to consider it.”

"can."

Paul the Octopus wasn't in a hurry. He happily stretched out his tentacles and inspected the treasure chests in the room.

Taking the opportunity, Natsuki Amamiya glanced at Ai Hayasaka, winked quietly, and then looked at Ai Hayasaka's right hand.

"Ok?"

The spy maid tilted her head slightly, quickly understanding what Amamiya Natsuki meant, and quietly extended her hand.

Amamiya Natsuki extended a finger and wrote on Hayasaka Ai's palm.

A strange, tingling sensation came from her palm, making Hayasaka Ai instinctively want to pull away, but fortunately, her professional spy training allowed her to remain calm and endure it.

"Take off your cloak and give it to me while I distract the octopus monster."

"..."

Hayasaka Ai looked up in surprise.

What does this man need a cloak for?

Do you really think you can hide right under the octopus monster's nose?

These tricks won't work; an octopus's eyes are far more powerful than a human's.

“Mr. Octopus, I’ve made up my mind.” Without wasting much time, Natsuki Amamiya quickly said.

Paul the Octopus wriggled its tentacles: "Human, are you going to take a gamble?"

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

"I am sworn in with gambling and drugs."

Once you get involved in gambling, it's very likely you'll never be able to quit. Ordinary people should never even touch it.

"What about you?"

Paul the Octopus turned his gaze to the three girls.

The three girls shook their heads in unison.

Only idiots play roulette.

"I reject."

"Mr. Octopus, please don't look at me."

"..."

"So, you chose to leave empty-handed?"

Paul the Octopus said regretfully as he moved the tentacles blocking the door to the treasure room.

“Wait a minute,” Natsuki Amamiya said, changing the subject. “Perhaps I can solve Mr. Octopus’s problem.”

"Troubled?"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Mr. Octopus is so strong, he must have to be very careful when playing with any toy, and he probably won't be able to enjoy himself to the fullest, right?"

"..."

Octopuses are actually very intelligent creatures, with an intelligence equivalent to that of a young child, and they are also natural-born 'playful' creatures.

When they don't need to forage for food, they don't hide motionless on the seabed, but instead try to find toys to play with.

A survey report on octopuses once recorded that octopuses would spray water at "plastic medicine bottles" to make them float up and down. This is not an isolated case; many octopuses have played this game, which is equivalent to golf in the octopus world.

Paul the Octopus also enjoys playing games.

The problem is that it is too big and too strong. Ordinary toys break easily when it touches them, which has been a persistent problem and prevents it from having fun.

"Human, what do you want to say?"

Paul the Octopus stared at me, his enormous eyes exuding an overwhelming sense of power.

Amamiya Natsuki said without changing her expression:

"I recently acquired an item by chance, which I'm sure Mr. Octopus would find very interesting..."

As she spoke, Natsuki Amamiya put her hands behind her back and then took out a pair of gym pants.

The three girls were dumbfounded.

"Huh? Why did Natsuki-kun take out a pair of gym pants?"

"Is he surrendering by raising his underwear?"

"The workout pants aren't white, so lifting them up won't do any good, right?"

"..."
