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

“Ah, I understand.” Kitagawa Kaimu blinked, suddenly realizing, “When we left the treasure room, Aya-nee stayed inside alone.”

Mrs. Kaguya donned a hamster cloak and hid behind a treasure chest, remaining motionless until the game was over and the countdown to her return began. Only then did she suddenly act, grabbing the 'treasure' that she could take out of the game.

As a guardian spirit, Kaguya-sama was bound to Natsuki Amamiya. When Natsuki Amamiya left the game, she would naturally leave with him. The only problem was that at the time, it was unclear whether the things Kaguya-sama had grabbed could be taken out of the game with her.

Now it seems there are no problems.

"Little Natsuki, I need to replenish my mana~" Mrs. Kaguya raised her right hand, "The game consumes a lot of mana, so I can't play on my phone until dawn today."

"Leave the recharging to me." Kitagawa Kaimu put his right hand on his hip and gave a thumbs up with his left. "Eat your bento first, then take a good bath, and then recharge your mana."

Amamiya Natsuki was also a little hungry, so she walked to the table, sat down, took a half-price bento, and checked the final score of the game while eating.

[Congratulations, player! You have won the MVP award for the entire hide-and-seek game!]

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki quickly finished browsing and sighed softly.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Hearing the sigh, Kitagawa Kaimu looked up, her cheeks puffing out, and an octopus leg sticking out from the corner of her mouth.

Natsuki Amamiya briefly explained the five options: "I want them all, as expected."

"Natsuki-kun, don't be too greedy," Kitagawa Kaimu said in a muffled voice. "At times like this, just choose the first reward that excites you."

"Don't talk when your mouth is full of food."

"Oh."

"..."

After a moment's hesitation, Natsuki Amamiya quickly made her choice.

"Of course, we'd choose dark magic."

To date, many players don't even have a single skill, which shows that skills are quite rare. Powerful skills are like SSR characters in a game—something you can only come across and can't get your hands on.

Amamiya Natsuki currently only has three skills.

One way to become stronger is to "lie flat and become stronger".

An aura that 'wards off evil spirits'.

There's also a gang-fighting combo that can only be used with Fujiwara Chika, but there aren't any real combat skills.

As for black magic, it just sounds ominous...

So what if it's an ominous sign?

If given the chance, Natsuki Amamiya said she'd be willing to be the Dark Lord.

Amamiya Natsuki's thoughts were actually similar to Kaguya's: why choose the Good and Lawful camp? Wouldn't it be better to be an evil capitalist?

After making her choice, new content quickly appeared before Amamiya Natsuki's eyes.

You have acquired the skill: Touch of Darkness.

[Type: Dark Magic]

[Note: You can extract life and basic attributes from the living to temporarily strengthen yourself.]

[Note: Sacrificing a teammate grants boundless power!]

Amamiya Natsuki's eye twitched slightly.

well.

As expected of dark magic, sacrificing teammates right from the start shows its boundless power.

Why do you insist on limiting it to living people?

Should evil spirits and monsters be discriminated against?

Furthermore, the extracted attributes can only strengthen oneself for a short period of time. Why can't they be strengthened permanently?

Amamiya Natsuki let out a soft breath and quickly calmed down.

The ship is already finished, and there is no point in talking more.

Skills are neither inherently evil nor righteous... well, actually some are evil, but it mainly depends on the person using them.

It's just an ability extraction; it doesn't say the person being extracted will die.

We'll have to verify the results to know for sure.

"I'm finished eating."

Kitagawa Kaimu put down her bento box, looked at the antique silver coin on the table, and picked it up curiously. "It seems like anyone can use this coin. Shall I try it out and see how it works?"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly and continued eating her bento. Suddenly, she paused, her gaze falling on the mermaid's tear.

The description says this thing is a pretty good enhancement item; it can be used to enhance not only items but also skills... How about using it to enhance dark magic?

"call……"

Kitagawa Kaimu gently blew on the silver coin, then flicked it with her finger, sending it flying into the air.

Snapped.

The blonde girl clapped her hands together and caught the coin.

“Let me see…” Kitagawa Kaimu opened his hand and looked at the silver coin. “It’s tails. It tells me that I have received the ‘Bad Luck’ debuff, which lasts for half an hour.”

Kitagawa Kaimu looked left and right, then got up and stretched: "I don't feel anything."

Amamiya Natsuki reached out her hand and said:

"let me try."

"Now, here you go."

Natsuki Amamiya caught the silver coin, intending to flip it heads to temporarily boost her luck attribute. She would then use the Mermaid's Tears to enhance the black magic she had just learned... In short, she wanted to maximize the success rate of the enhancement.

then……

[Charging up, please cast your fate again in one hour]

It seems that it cannot be used continuously yet.

Amamiya Natsuki fiddled with the silver coin for a few moments, then casually put it away. Suddenly, a possibility occurred to her, and she couldn't help but glance at Kitagawa Kaimu beside her.

"what happened?"

Kitagawa Kaimu tilted his head and looked over.

"It's alright." Amamiya Natsuki looked away. "It's already 10 p.m., you can go take a shower now."

Despite witnessing supernatural phenomena, Natsuki Amamiya remains convinced that the law of conservation of mass-energy is one of the cornerstones of the universe.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed out of thin air.

Luck, I suppose, is the same.

So, could the truth behind this silver coin be that it absorbed luck from others, stored it up, and then released it all at once?

"I really need to take a shower, I've been sweating a lot." Kitagawa Kaimu rubbed his arms. "I'm going to start smelling if I don't shower. Natsuki-kun, I'm going to take a shower now."

The blonde girl tidied up the lunchbox and then headed to the bathroom.

Amamiya Natsuki poured herself a cup of tea and sat in the living room drinking it while watching TV. Suddenly, her fingers began to tremble.

Needless to say, it's definitely that pink-haired idiot.

Amamiya Natsuki picked up her phone and immediately saw a message from Fujiwara Chika.

"Natsuki-kun, do you want a surprise?"

"Thank you, but I don't want it."

"A surprise delivered right to my door!"

"I reject."

After chatting for a while, Fujiwara Chika asked curiously, "By the way, two people just joined the player help group. Does Natsuki know about it?"

"know."

Amamiya Natsuki took a sip of tea and briefly explained the game they had just played.

Fujiwara Chika: "Eh, I wish I had been with Natsuki-kun. Our combination skills are invincible."

I wouldn't say I'm invincible, but if that pink-haired idiot is around, playing hide-and-seek is definitely a piece of cake.

puff.
