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

next second.

The vengeful spirit loli suddenly opened her eyes wide, raised her little hand, covered her mouth in disbelief, and her cheeks twitched rapidly like a hamster.

Amamiya Natsuki remained calm, showing no doubt about the effectiveness of the strategy.

To be fair, the "dark cuisine" had already cooled down and its effects diminished after missing its optimal consumption time. However, for Hanako, who had never tried cooking before, it was still an unparalleled delicacy.

"How does the Hanako-chan taste?"

Fujiwara Chika, mustering her courage, reached out her right hand and gently patted Hanako's little head.

“Y-yummy!”

The vengeful spirit loli nodded repeatedly.

Faced with delicious food, the eerie and terrifying vengeful loli's features softened, and she looked much more pleasing to the eye.

The vengeful spirit loli quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, raised her head, and said impatiently:

"Give me the rest of the food!"

"Ok?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked down.

This vengeful little girl was quite clever; knowing that one has to bow one's head when under someone's roof, she obediently changed her words: "Sister, I want more to eat!"

"Give Hanako another bite," Natsuki Amamiya said. "The rest depends on your performance."

Everyone understands the principle of "a big stick and a sweet date".

Before giving them sweet dates, you must first give them a beating, otherwise even if you bring out some culinary disaster, the vengeful spirit Hanako will snatch it away.

As for giving them all to Hanako, that's even more impossible.

Although Natsuki Amamiya has never trained a loli, she has trained her family dog, so there is actually no difference between the two.

After taking another bite of the culinary disaster, Hanako's affection level skyrocketed, and she finally stopped acting like a rebellious little girl.

"Hanako, how many people entered the school today?"

Natsuki Amamiya got down to business.

With the initial training complete, it's time to reap the rewards.

"There are four humans in total." Hanako didn't hide anything. The combination of harsh measures and sweet treats, even if it didn't tame the vengeful spirit loli, at least laid the foundation for cooperation. "Two men and two girls."

The quantity is quite large.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

Do you know where they are?

“I know.” The vengeful loli tilted her head and said casually, “They suddenly appeared in the school and ran around everywhere. They’re probably all dead by now.”

"I hope Hanamori isn't in any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Chika immediately became worried.

Natsuki Amamiya looked at Komi and said, "Can I borrow your notebook?"

"Uh-huh."

The obscure student, Komi, quickly nodded and handed over the notebook.

Amamiya Natsuki took the pen and began sketching, quickly drawing a girl wearing glasses and with braids, which was none other than Hayasaka Ai in disguise.

Have you seen her?

The vengeful spirit Hanako hesitated.

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"There's a reward for telling the truth."

“I’ve seen her.” Upon hearing the reward, the vengeful spirit Hanako’s eyes lit up immediately. “This girl suddenly appeared in the restroom. I was very happy and wanted to play games with her, but then a strange sound came from inside. Someone was saying something like, ‘If you put on the hood, there won’t be any problems.’ She escaped.”

Upon hearing this, Lord Zhu Zhu couldn't help but look up.

Without a doubt, this is the narration in the haunted house.

"Where is she now?"

Kitagawa Kaimu hurriedly asked.

They played hide-and-seek on the ghost ship together, went to the midnight mall, and ate together at night. Hai Meng and the spy maid had the best relationship.

“When I chased her, she ran upstairs.” The vengeful spirit Hanako didn’t hide anything. “She was just unlucky and stepped on the thirteenth step.”

Hai Meng's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Is it the most dangerous ghost story Miss Kuchisake mentioned, the thirteenth step?!"

Chapter 284 The Vengeful Spirit Loli Can't Resist

Hayasaka Ai: I can't go on anymore.

The thirteenth step.

Almost every school has this ghost story, and it is also the most bizarre of the seven campus ghost stories.

In the legend.

After school, during the moment of demon sealing or at other times, the twelve steps on the campus may inexplicably turn into thirteen steps.

If any unlucky person steps onto the thirteenth step, they will disappear completely.

As for where they went and what happened, nobody knows, making it quite bizarre.

"We actually stumbled upon the most bizarre ghost story." Natsuki Amamiya sighed. "Our luck is just unbelievable."

"Hanako-chan, what exactly are those thirteen steps?"

Fujiwara Chika crouched down and asked.

"I don't know." The vengeful loli shook her head. Her feeding behavior just now had clearly increased her favorability. Hanako took the initiative to explain, "People who step on the thirteenth step will disappear and never appear again. I have never stepped on it, so I don't know what happened to them."

Ghost stories and ghost tales should not be generalized.

Some ghost stories have consciousness, can speak, and can be trained, like Hanako.

The Staircase Ghost Story is just an extra staircase, making communication and interaction impossible. So even though it's a ghost story, the vengeful loli wouldn't do anything reckless.

"Is that so?"

Amamiya Natsuki stroked her chin, her gaze shifting downwards to the vengeful spirit loli's feet. "Why don't you step on them now and see?"

"impossible."

The vengeful spirit loli quickly covered her skirt and retreated warily.

Amamiya Natsuki patiently guided him:

"You're the famous Hanako-sama, so powerful, yet you're afraid of a mere cricket?"

"I'm not scared at all." Children love to be praised, and the vengeful spirit loli was no exception. She raised her head with a small gesture. "The location of the thirteenth step is not fixed. As long as I get close, it will disappear. I can't get close at all."

The little head of the vengeful spirit loli, if you ignore its pale face, actually feels quite nice to the touch, cool and comfortable.

"Seeing is believing, let's go and verify it."

The vengeful spirit loli opened her mouth and bit down: "Human, you dare touch my head!"

Shivering and cold.

I'm a strange person, I've never suffered such an injustice before!

Amamiya Natsuki raised her hand to dodge the vengeful spirit loli's attack, and offered her a bargaining chip:

"Let you have one more bite of the dish."

Hanako's eyes lit up: "...Deal!"

"..."

The group left the restroom and, led by Hanako, went to find the thirteenth step.

“I can sense the location of the steps, it’s on the fourth floor…” This vengeful little girl is very restless, she won’t walk properly and insists on climbing all over the walls. Fortunately, after becoming a vengeful spirit, her skirt is no longer under Newton’s control, so even if she hangs upside down from the ceiling, the skirt will not fall down. “We’re here, this is it.”

The lights on campus have long been unusable.

The group stood in the corridor, with Natsuki Amamiya holding a flashlight and shining it towards the steps.

Looking at the steps, everyone subconsciously started counting.

"One, two, three, four, five... indeed there are thirteen steps."

"When I was in junior high school, my friends and I would search for ghost stories on the school steps after school," Fujiwara Chika sighed. "Looking back now, I was really silly."

Kitagawa Kaimu raised her hand: "Ahem, I looked for it too."

A random player whispered, "Me too."

Amamiya Natsuki said, "Me too."

"..."

No wonder the main characters in comics are mostly middle school or junior high school students, and you almost never see middle-aged office workers; this is the reason.

Junior high school students generally have a strong sense of curiosity and plenty of energy, giving them the time and energy to take risks.

A middle-aged office worker?

I get off work at 9 p.m. and still have to drag my tired body to an izakaya for business dinners. After drinking, I get home close to 11 p.m. At this point, of course I just collapse into bed. Who has time to take risks?

"Hanako." Natsuki Amamiya looked at the vengeful spirit loli and began to experiment, "Try stepping on it."

"..."

One concern was that her mother would be hurt, and the other was the temptation of the food. The vengeful little girl whimpered and reluctantly walked up the steps.

Before everyone's eyes, the thirteenth step vanished into thin air.

"So it really didn't work?"

Amamiya Natsuki was somewhat disappointed.

Faced with the most bizarre thirteen steps, summoning vengeful spirits is the safest tactic, but unfortunately, there are no loopholes to exploit.
