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

With the last dish of culinary disaster finished, Natsuki Amamiya was finally able to rest for a while. She let out a soft breath, first dividing the spoils with Sakura-san and the shopkeeper, then asking:

"Miss Sakura, how's the matter I asked you to do going?"

"Well~" Miss Sakura gently fanned herself with a round fan, her voice cheerful, "That girl with braids and glasses seems to be at school."

Chapter 280 Woman, do you know the rules?

"Did they really find Hanamori-kun?"

While Kaguya and the others were still eating, Fujiwara Chika quietly approached and whispered, "Could it be that we've mistaken someone for someone else again, like last time?"

After going through all the trouble of entering the House of Ghost Stories, only to find Komi instead of Kaguya, it's hard not to doubt the reliability of the information.

Miss Shadow's gaze shifted to Fujiwara Chika, and she stuck out the tip of her tongue, lightly licking her lips, a half-smile playing on her lips:

"I can smell fear."

"How could something like that have a taste?"

Fujiwara Chika retorted softly, but her body remained obedient, hiding behind Amamiya Natsuki.

The secretary was still intimidated by the terrifying woman whose face was hidden under her hair. If it weren't for Natsuki Amamiya being by his side, he wouldn't have dared to get close enough to speak.

"Thank you for the information, Miss Sakurako," Natsuki Amamiya said politely. "I'll go take a look in a bit."

Miss Sakura covered her mouth with her fan, her voice sweet: "Young man, why aren't you afraid of me?"

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously:

"Miss Sakura has a great figure and a lovely voice. There's absolutely no reason for me to be afraid. If I weren't a lolicon, I might have already fallen for Miss Sakura."

Fujiwara Chika: “…”

fraud!

He clearly saw the face behind this woman's head, yet he still said he liked her. He's incredibly bold!

To be fair, Natsuki Amamiya wasn't lying; he really wasn't afraid of Sakurako in front of him.

What kind of ghost stories are the scariest?

The answer is simple.

Unable to communicate.

Can not communicate.

Rules that are broken are death sentences; ghost stories that only have the instinct to kill are the last thing Natsuki Amamiya wants to encounter.

Miss Sakura in front of me is different.

With a great figure, fair skin, a curvy figure, and a pleasant voice, if you put a paper bag over your head, there would be plenty of people who would want to be Ning Caichen or Xu Xuan!

As long as it's cute, even horror stories are fine.

Ghost tales that have thoughts and can communicate suggest the possibility of a 'transaction' between the other party, and this is the kind of ghost story that Amamiya Natsuki likes the most.

"Well~ I'm liking you more and more." Miss Sakura smiled and invited, "Young man, come back with me? I promise I won't hurt you."

"I'm sorry," Natsuki Amamiya said seriously, "I'm a lolicon."

"What a pity~"

Miss Sakura waved her fan, turned around, and gracefully walked out of the restaurant: "See you tomorrow, young man."

"..."

Watching the other person leave, Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"They're finally gone." The secretary patted his chest, then suddenly became worried. "...He always says he's a lolicon, could it really be true?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Chika: "Don't you know whether I'm a lolicon or not?"

"How would I know? I have heard that boys seem to have that kind of weird fetish."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki remained silent, her gaze shifting downwards to the Secretary's delicate, moist cherry lips.

"What do you see me doing?"

Fujiwara Chika raised her hand to cover her pink lips.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"I'm going to the school rooftop tomorrow at noon to prove my innocence."

"Tomorrow is the weekend, no classes... How do you plan to prove that?"

"Of course, it's a chocolate bar."

"What are you saying?!"

The secretary's pretty face flushed red quickly, and the jet-black bow on her forehead trembled slightly. She clearly understood Amamiya Natsuki's 'secret language' and couldn't help but raise her eyes to scold him, her clear blue eyes sparkling. "No chocolate bars."

"Ice cream is fine too."

"How can two people eat something like that?!"

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki lowered her voice and said:

“I remember someone saying in the hotel cafeteria that they would do anything to repay her, as I had no way to repay her.”

"That was a dream. Things in a dream don't count." The secretary turned her pretty face away, pretending nothing had happened. Unfortunately, she was still a little too thin-skinned and soon couldn't hold back. She gently pushed Amamiya Natsuki's waist with both hands. "Hurry up and eat. We still need to find Hanamori-san later."

"..."

Needless to say, when it comes to food, Natsuki Amamiya, as a 'top-class chef,' takes a high cut and is now quite wealthy, so he doesn't skimp on food at all.

Had dinner.

The shop manager, wiping the plates, slowly announced:

"That's all for today, the restaurant is closing now."

Amamiya Natsuki took a sip of miso soup. This stuff is a Japanese 'national treasure' and it's still plentiful even in the dungeon world: "Manager, how about we consider staying open until dawn?"

"Not consider."

"..."

It seems that closing time is now a certainty.

In other words, everyone has to leave the restaurant.

After wiping the tableware, the shop manager opened a drawer and took out a stack of banknotes. "This is your pay for today."

"Thank you, store manager."

Natsuki Amamiya didn't refuse and took the money.

Money earned through hard work, without stealing, robbing, or giving as charity, is received with a clear conscience.

"Manager, what time does the restaurant open tomorrow?" Natsuki Amamiya asked.

"Ten o'clock in the morning."

"Then I'll come to work at ten o'clock tomorrow?"

"can."

"..."

After asking the questions she wanted to know, Natsuki Amamiya got up and said goodbye to the shop manager.

"Um, that..." A voice suddenly rang out from behind Amamiya Natsuki. It was a random player from before. The girl was pale and pleaded hesitantly, "Could you lend me some money?"

When I entered the instance, I had real-world banknotes with me, but unfortunately, they were unusable in the town.

The restaurant is about to close, and we need to pay the bill as soon as possible. Nobody knows what will happen if we don't, and nobody wants to know.

As for the consequences of skipping out on the bill... that unlucky guy who skipped out is still playing the role of food in the fish tank.

"I can give you the money." Amamiya Natsuki looked at the girl in the street and said meaningfully, "But you know the rules, right?"

"Huh?" The random player paused, seemingly realizing something, a blush suddenly rising on their face. "I...I know...Can we do it outside?"

Hey, I'm just asking you to exchange props for money, why are you blushing?

"You've misunderstood, Natsuki isn't that kind of person..."

At the crucial moment, Kitagawa Kaimu came over and explained the details of the transaction.

"I see." The girl breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded, saying, "Thank you so much!"

In horror games, the worst thing you can do is offer unconditional sympathy and pity. A little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment. So the best approach is to focus on interests from the very beginning, and avoid talking about feelings.

Seeing the girl successfully pay for the meal by exchanging strange items for money, another hesitant player also came over and exchanged items for money.

Both parties get what they need and everyone is happy.

The other party not only did not resent it, but was also extremely grateful.

“Natsuki,” Fujiwara Chika whispered a reminder, “and the player in the fish tank.”

"I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."

Amamiya Natsuki walked over, used a fishing net to scoop up the unlucky creatures, paid for the 'ingredients', and left the restaurant.

Chapter 281 Hanako-chan, you don't want your wife to get hurt, do you?

Step out of the restaurant.

The curse is lifted.

The 'goldfish' that Fujiwara Chika was holding quickly transformed back into human form under everyone's curious gaze, revealing herself to be a cute girl with a rather good figure.

"Kaguya-chan, hand me the clothes."

"Ah."

"Hai Meng, use a towel to wipe her body."
