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

Another passerby looked puzzled: "I don't know...it seems to be coming from thin air?"

"That high school student thinks he can threaten the ghost driver with just an axe? Is he crazy?"

"What a pity, he's an arrogant fool."

"..."

Ms. Sakura hurriedly went to Kaguya's side and said anxiously:

"Get him down quickly. People have tried to attack the ghost before, but it was completely ineffective, and they were all killed."

“Don’t worry,” Kaguya Shinomiya said softly. “Although we’re not from the Paranormal Investigation Bureau, our goal is indeed to put an end to this ghost story… Ms. Sakura, just keep watching.”

Those nearby who overheard Kaguya Shinomiya's words couldn't help but show expressions of disbelief.

These two newcomers are so calm, and they even spout such arrogant remarks... Are they idiots, or do they really have something to rely on?

at the same time.

On the bus.

"Hehe..." The ghost driver paused for a moment, then a ferocious smile quickly appeared on his face. He stretched out his hands and grabbed, his fingertips growing rapidly, becoming black and sharp. "You dare to rob me? Then I can eat you up right now."

Natsuki Amamiya remained calm, raised the blood-stained fire axe, and swung it down.

"It's useless, human weapons simply don't..."

The words are not finished yet.

puff--

The blood-stained fire axe slashed directly into the ghost driver's shoulder.

Dark, foul-smelling blood splattered out and splashed out.

The ghost driver froze for two seconds, his smile vanished, his expression turned blank, and then he screamed.

“Ahhhhhhh…!”

The axe is a special weapon produced in the game, which has the effect of attacking supernatural creatures and ghosts. Whether it's a ghost driver or a ghost, it will cut you down without hesitation.

Seeing the blood splattering everywhere, not only were the passengers on the bus stunned, but the unlucky players below the platform were also stunned.

It wasn't until the ghost driver's scream rang out that everyone suddenly snapped back to reality.

"What, what's going on?"

"How could that axe have injured the ghost driver?"

"People have already tried it, and nothing can harm ghosts... How could he..."

Amamiya Natsuki stepped on the demon driver's chest, pulled out the axe, blood splattering, and slowly placed the axe against the demon driver's neck. Then, she stretched out her other hand and repeated:

"Robbery! Hand over all the ghost money you have on you."

The ghost driver trembled with pain, looking fearfully at the axe in Amamiya Natsuki's hand, and wisely said:

"I...I'll pay right away..."

"Why didn't you just pay me earlier? Why did you have to make me chop you up?" Amamiya Natsuki sighed. "What a spineless bastard."

Everyone: "..."

Seeing the ghost driver obediently take out the ghost money, not daring to utter a single harsh word, and being as docile as could be, all the unlucky people at the bus stop finally couldn't help but start pounding their hearts.

This high school student, who is clearly a newbie, is actually able to hurt ghosts?

Doesn't it mean...

Sakura was the most excited, tightly gripping Kaguya Shinomiya's right hand, and stammered, "You...you guys really can..."

Kaguya Shinomiya said gently:

"As I just mentioned, our goal is to put an end to this strange tale. As for their specific identities, we cannot disclose them at this time."

This time, finally some people began to believe Kaguya Shinomiya's words.

In the cold, rainy night, a faint flame of hope was kindled.

Despite the pain, the ghost driver pulled out a few crumpled banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Amamiya Natsuki.

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and said:

"You look down on me for such a small amount of money?"

"No, that's all, really, that's all!" The driver shuddered and quickly turned his pockets inside out. "I really only have this much money!"

"Tsk, you poor bastard." Amamiya Natsuki reached out and took the ghost money, counted it quickly—there were only six crumpled ghost money bills in total—and then asked, "How much for the fare?"

The ghost driver answered honestly:

"One ghost banknote can carry one passenger. Anyone who gets on the bus without a ticket will be killed."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the players at the bus stop all changed their expressions.

Amamiya Natsuki and Kaguya are two people, Sakura-san is a middle-aged woman, a girl in dinosaur pajamas is a young man who got on the bus first, a yakuza man with tattoos is a woman in sportswear, and finally there is a timid girl who has never spoken from the beginning and has a very low presence. There are only 10 people in total.

But when Amamiya Natsuki was counting the money, everyone could clearly see that there were only six pieces of ghost money obtained through robbery.

Even if Natsuki Amamiya were willing to give the ghost money to others, at least three people would still be unable to get on the bus.

To ride the bus, one has to let a monster eat one of their fingers; to rob monster passengers like Natsuki Amamiya… nobody even considers it, no one wants to court death.

and so.

What should I do?

At this very moment, the ghost money in Amamiya Natsuki's hand is the legendary ticket to Noah's Ark.

You can live if you get a ticket.

If you don't get it, the monster will eat your finger.

How can I get the ghost money from Natsuki Amamiya?

Or rather... why should Amamiya Natsuki give him the ghost money instead of someone else?

Just as the random players were getting restless and wary of each other, Natsuki Amamiya suddenly sighed and said:

"So embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing."

"Eh?"

"This is the first time in my life I've ever robbed a ghost bus, and all I got were six ghost banknotes. It's so embarrassing." Amamiya Natsuki's expression turned serious as she picked up her axe and turned to walk away. "No, I have to rob some more."

Everyone: "..."

Not far behind the ghost driver sat a woman with black hair covering her face. At first glance, she looked somewhat like Sadako, but the ghost passenger's clothes were stained with blood and her hair was a mess, not at all like Sadako's hair.

Natsuki Amamiya walked up to the female ghost passenger, raised the blood-stained fire axe in her hand, and extended her hand, saying:

"Hey, this is a robbery."

"..."

The female ghost passenger slowly raised her head, glanced at the fire axe still dripping blood in Amamiya Natsuki's hand, then looked at the ghost driver clutching his shoulder, and then, quite pragmatically, silently took out two pieces of ghost money.

Amamiya Natsuki frowned: "Is that all?"

The female ghost passenger seemed frightened: "Really, that's all there is."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Take extra cash with you when you go out, understand?"

Female ghost passenger: "I'm so sorry..."

Natsuki Amamiya took the money from the female ghost passenger, picked up the axe, walked to the back, and went to another passenger, extending her hand and saying:

"Robbery."

The ghost passenger was wrapped in bandages all over his body, clearly a tough nut to crack. He remained silent in the face of the robbery, and suddenly the bandages on his body came to life, coiling around Amamiya Natsuki like venomous snakes, revealing his charred, blackish-red body underneath.

puff--

Amamiya Natsuki swung her axe directly, tearing all the bandages apart and splattering blood.

The bandaged ghost immediately wailed and begged for mercy in a panic: "I...I'll pay, I'll pay right away!"

Amamiya Natsuki pulled out the axe, drawing a spurt of blood, and remarked:

"Another worthless wretch."

Everyone: "..."

The two ghost passengers who dared to resist were chopped down, and the remaining ghost passengers immediately became unusually obedient. Before Amamiya Natsuki could even walk over, they obediently took out the ghost money.

After collecting the money, Amamiya Natsuki returned to the bus door, glanced at the time, and saw that there was only one minute left before the bus started moving.

"Kaguya."

Amamiya Natsuki took out a ghost money note and handed it to the young lady.

Of course, the best things are given to Kaguya first, and everyone else has to step aside.

"Ah."

Kaguya Shinomiya responded softly, boarded the ghost bus, inserted the ghost money into the fare box, and gained the identity of a passenger.

Seeing this, everyone else looked over expectantly.

Without further ado, Amamiya Natsuki looked at the woman behind Kaguya and said gently:

"Ms. Sakura, here's your ticket."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Sakura Rinko thanked him excitedly, quickly got on the bus, put in the fare, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Decided.

Whether I'm lying to myself or not, I'm sticking with this powerful backer!
