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

Koyasu Tsubame coughed twice, glanced at Amamiya Natsuki who remained silent, and quickly said:

"Um, did Chika-chan go to the love hotel alone out of curiosity?"

Fujiwara Chika shook her head, saying nonchalantly:

"Of course I went with other people."

Zian Yan: "..."

The eco-friendly items in your backpack were an unexpected find; surely you didn't also end up at the hotel by accident!

Kitagawa Kaimu said cautiously:

"Um...did Chika-chan get scammed?"

“I wasn’t tricked,” Fujiwara Chika shook her head. “I’m not a three-year-old child, how could I be tricked into going to a place like that?”

Since it wasn't a scam, then it must have been voluntary?

Natsuki Amamiya silently put down her chopsticks, stood up, and said:

"You guys chat, I'm going to walk the dog in the park."

Fujiwara Chika asked, puzzled:

"Didn't we already take a walk?"

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya did not answer and continued walking out.

Senior Sister Yanzi quietly reached out her right hand, tugged at Secretary Qianhua, and kept blinking.

The secretary tilted her head in confusion, but after being reminded by Hai Meng and her senior, she finally realized what was happening. Her pretty face quickly turned red, and she hurriedly said:

"What are you thinking? I went to the hotel with my cousin!"

"My cousin has recently taken a liking to drawing comics. A while ago, she told me she wanted to go to a love hotel to gather material, but she was too scared to go alone, so she asked me to go with her... I still have the chat history on my phone! You'll believe me if you see it!"

"So that's how it is." Zi'an Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Kitagawa Kaimu also relaxed: "I thought Chika-chan had been tricked by bad guys."

Amamiya Natsuki stopped and turned to look at Chika: "Is your cousin decent?"

"..."

Had breakfast.

Everyone went out to school together.

After the life-or-death adventure in the dungeon, campus life seemed unusually mundane, and even the evil spirits that were everywhere gradually became commonplace.

Before we knew it, it was time to leave school.

After finishing their daily tasks, everyone went to the school's culinary department together.

"I've already spoken to Rinko-chan from the cooking club, and they'll let us use the club today." Fujiwara Chika led the way with light steps. "No one will bother us."

Amamiya Natsuki remarked:

"Using an induction cooker and a gas stove to concoct witch's potions is subtle in every sense."

The group headed to the culinary department together, naturally to concoct the witch's secret potion, the night vision potion.

The environments in dungeons are mostly dark and gloomy places with poor visibility. If the witch's potion can be successfully made and mass-produced, it will inevitably become one of the necessities for players.

“I actually think induction cookers are great,” Kitagawa Kaimu said enthusiastically. “They’re easier to control the heat and temperature.”

"Culinary Department, we've arrived."

"..."

The school is quite wealthy, so the activities are naturally far from shabby. The culinary department has all kinds of kitchenware, comparable to a five-star hotel kitchen.

"Natsuki, bring out the things." Kitagawa Kaimu took out a hair tie, tied her hair into a neat single ponytail, then tied on an apron, rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her snow-white wrist. "I'm going to refine medicine."

The raw materials for brewing the witch's potion were brought over this morning and stored in the student council office for easy access.

“There are plenty of materials, so we can all work together to refine them,” Kaguya Shinomiya suggested. “This will make it easier to compare our work and also help us determine whether only Haimeng can refine the witch's potion, or whether everyone can.”

Zian Yan tied on an apron and came over to help: "Let's get started, everyone."

The process of making witch's potion is complicated. The requirements for the amount of raw materials are not that strict, but the order in which the raw materials are put in is very important.

In the past two days, Kitagawa Kaimu had already written out the refining steps, and everyone received a copy.

“I understand,” Natsuki Amamiya said. “It’s like frying tempura; the first step is always to pour in the oil.”

Half an hour later.

Everyone finished refining their ingredients.

At this moment, the air was filled with an extremely strange smell.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at them one by one.

In the frying pan in front of Chika, there was only a pool of black liquid, still bubbling and churning with black bubbles, like the black mud in the Holy Grail, which was terrifying to look at.

"Ahem..." Fujiwara Chika clenched her small fist and gently tapped her head, tilting her head and saying, "I accidentally put them in the wrong order just now. It's inevitable to make mistakes the first time."

"Stop acting cute," Natsuki Amamiya said quietly. "Go open the window and let some fresh air in."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki then looked at the silly young lady.

Kaguya Shinomiya was wearing an apron, with a towel wrapped around her head. There was a bit of black ash on the tip of her nose. She was biting her lip and looking at the frying pan in front of her, clearly very dissatisfied.

Noticing Natsuki Amamiya's gaze, the silly young lady slightly turned her pretty face away and whispered a few words:

"...It was a mistake."

You didn't make a mistake, you just caused a huge uproar!

At least the potion Qianhua refined was a liquid, but your frying pan only has a layer of black scum!

Natsuki Amamiya said in a subtle tone:

"Understandable."

This Kaguya is a true pampered young lady; she's never even made instant noodles by herself. Although she's taken cooking classes, those classes are always group classes, and at most, she's asked to wash the ingredients... In short, she knows absolutely nothing about cooking.

Asking her to concoct witch's potions right off the bat is indeed asking too much of her.

In the end, only Natsuki Amamiya, the senior, and Umi were left.

Regardless of whether they succeeded or not, at least the frying pans in front of the three of them were filled with a calm liquid that was black with a clear glimmer.

Zi'an Yan asked curiously, "Does this mean the refining is successful?"

“I guess so?” Kitagawa Kaimu wasn’t sure either. “After all, it’s two different worlds, and they’re using a frying pan and an induction cooker… but it looks pretty much like the witch’s potion in my head.”

Amamiya Natsuki brought over a few clear glass bottles: "If you want to know if it's been successfully refined, just see if the game will recognize it."

If the refining is successful, the game will provide an evaluation result; if it fails, naturally nothing will be displayed.

The three quickly poured the liquid from the pan into a glass bottle.

Natsuki Amamiya gripped the bottle, and the game appraisal quickly appeared before her eyes.

[Item: Night Potion (Player-made)]

[Type: Witch's Elixir]

[Quality: Medium]

[Directions for Use: Oral]

[Attributes: This potion is crafted by the player. After consumption, your night vision will be greatly enhanced, allowing you to see traces left by wraith-like creatures. The effect lasts for one hour. Please note that this potion is not of perfect quality, and there is a certain chance of side effects after consumption. Rest assured, the side effects are not permanent and will not endanger your life.]

[Note: You might try using suppositories for injection.]

Hey, what are suppositories?

What's with this strange injection method?!

The senior's voice rang out quickly: "I've successfully refined it."

Kitagawa Kaimu put her right hand on her hip and said, "I succeeded too. The quality of the potion is medium."

After examining the three bottles of witch's potion one by one, everyone began to summarize their experience in refining the potion today.

"As long as the refining steps are correct, anyone can refine the witch's secret potion, not just Hai Meng."

"The fact that all the medicines are of medium quality is probably not a coincidence, but a common pattern... This can be verified later."

"We need to produce a user experience report to show the specific effects of the medicine."

"And then there are the side effects..."

As the girls finished speaking, they all looked at Natsuki Amamiya.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Amamiya Natsuki said, quite speechless. "If you want to do experiments, you should go to a lab and find lab mice."

Fujiwara Chika raised her chin and said:

"Guinea pigs can't talk, so they can't see any side effects. Natsuki is more suitable."

“That’s right.” Kitagawa Kaimu nodded in agreement. “To dedicate oneself to science, Natsuki, that’s the one.”

Hey, this is a witch's secret potion, it has nothing to do with science!

“I think we can sell them directly in the mutual aid group.” Amamiya Natsuki interlaced her fingers. “The game has already made its own assessment; it won’t lie to anyone. After they’re sold, we can have the players who bought them fill out a feedback form to collect user big data…”

"That's outrageous!" Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't help but complain. "Selling substandard products and then asking for user feedback—what heartless capitalists!"

Fujiwara Chika added, "...Be careful not to get hung from a lamppost!"

"..."

After chatting for a while, they disposed of the kitchen waste and then went home.

It's still daytime now, so even if you want to test the witch's potion, you have to wait until it gets dark.

Leaving school.
