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

"We can't use money..." Fujiwara Chika said pitifully, "Then how are we supposed to buy food?"

"Several guests may choose to barter." The pig-headed butcher began wiping the table. "Two hundred grams of food will only require two hundred grams of body tissue in exchange. It's an equal exchange, fair and honest."

"Will the clothes be okay?"

"No, it must have the potential to become food."

Your cafeteria is basically a she-devil's bun shop! They serve buns to customers, they eat them and then faint, so they drag them back to the kitchen to be made into buns, and the cycle goes on and on!

Amamiya Natsuki finally understood why the hooded player had been gloating when he first came in.

"For you humans, two hundred grams of body tissue is not fatal," the pig-headed butcher said in a low voice. "Blood, muscle, bones, and useless fat tissue can all be exchanged for it."

"Useless adipose tissue..."

Amamiya Natsuki's heart stirred, and she couldn't help but look at Fujiwara Chika.

Kaguya Shinomiya also looked over with her lips pursed.

The useless fat is right in front of you, enough to satisfy three people's needs.

"What are you two looking at?!" Fujiwara Chika quickly covered her chest and couldn't help but shout, "Breasts?!"

Chapter 10 Vengeful Spirit Classmate, Please Give Me Hush Money

There's no such thing as a free lunch; there's nothing wrong with equivalent exchange.

Exchanging fat for an equal weight of food is a godsend for countless weight loss enthusiasts.

Unfortunately, Fujiwara Chika was unwilling.

"Absolutely not!"

The pink-haired girl covered her chest tightly with both hands and couldn't help but complain, "It's not useless fat. If I don't have fat when I get married and have babies, won't the baby go hungry?"

You're thinking too far ahead. Let's get through this hurdle first!

"Fujiwara-san, calm down. Nervousness and panic will only cloud your judgment." Kaguya Shinomiya spoke calmly, her pretty face showing no emotion. "We can't buy food; we can only trade for it. Currently, it seems the least costly way is to exchange blood for food..."

After Kaguya Shinomiya finished speaking, she looked at the hooded man gloating not far away: "If I'm not mistaken, that's the person."

Fujiwara Chika blinked, her expression hesitant: "Like donating blood?"

"Yes."

“Then we can give it a try…” Fujiwara Chika stammered, “I’ve donated blood once before, it was super painful, I even cried. Has Kaguya-chan ever donated blood?”

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya silently gazed at the top of Kaguya's head.

A line of text appeared quietly.

[Sorry, I've never experienced this before. I'm terrified of needles... I'm absolutely terrified of needles, I hate getting injections!]

He speaks highly rational words and has a cold expression like the ice and snow on a mountain peak, but his inner emotions are so rich. Is this what is meant by "saying one thing but meaning another"?

wrong.

It should be said that her public image has collapsed.

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly had a new idea.

It would be great if we could bring pets.

Bringing in a cow would be a breeze, and you could get through in no time. Blood would do, and freshly squeezed milk could certainly be food... Unfortunately, Fujiwara couldn't manage that.

As they were talking, a vengeful female ghost with black hair covering her face and her school uniform stained with blood walked over.

"Step back, step back."

Fujiwara Chika quickly grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve and pulled her aside.

The vengeful spirit girl's target was not Amamiya Natsuki and her two companions. She lowered her head and went to the food window, where she extended her right hand and handed over a white bone coin. She then took a plate of pork cutlet rice bowl with unknown ingredients from the window, silently turned around and left, walking to a corner to sit down.

The vengeful spirit girl's body seemed quite hard. She clumsily picked up her chopsticks, grabbed an unknown piece of meat, and before she could even bring it to her mouth, it fell to the ground with a thud.

Under Natsuki Amamiya's gaze, a line of text suddenly appeared above the vengeful spirit girl's head:

[Danger! Danger! Danger! Luckily the head chef didn't see it, otherwise I would have been dragged to the kitchen as food!]

"Shouldn't she tie her hair up before eating?" Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but mutter under her breath. "I really want to help her tie her hair up."

Seeing this, Natsuki Amamiya suddenly had a bold idea.

Food can be purchased using the currency circulated at the school of vengeful spirits, and humans are not a problem either.

The player has no money.

But these vengeful spirits in the cafeteria must be rich.

In that case, why not just take the money from them?

The plan goes through!

"There's not much time left," Kaguya Shinomiya reminded her calmly. "We don't have the energy to care about others right now."

“Even if you say that, Kaguya…” Fujiwara Chika said with a distressed and pitiful expression, “They only gave us a stone bowl. It’s not like we’re donating blood; it’s like they’re making us bleed!”

"I do have an idea that I want to test."

Amamiya Natsuki pondered for a moment before speaking, then stepped towards the vengeful spirit girl.

"Huh?" Fujiwara Chika was taken aback. "What is Amamiya-san going to do?"

Amamiya Natsuki waved her hand, "You'll find out soon enough."

Stepping up to the vengeful spirit girl, Amamiya Natsuki sat down beside her, extended her right hand, and got straight to the point:

"Please give me hush money."

"Meow?"

The vengeful spirit girl, who was clumsily eating, raised her head blankly and looked at Amamiya Natsuki with a puzzled expression.

What is this human saying?

Hush money?

Who gave him the courage?

“You dropped your food on the floor and didn’t pick it up, you just kicked it away.” Amamiya Natsuki said sternly, “How dare you waste food in the cafeteria! Pay up quickly, or I’ll call the head chef over.”

"..."

The vengeful spirit girl swept her hair aside, revealing a pair of dark, hollow eye sockets. Her face was deathly pale, and her voice was hoarse: "Foolish human, unless you know the head chef's name, he won't pay any attention to you."

“I see.” Amamiya Natsuki nodded. “Thank you for your guidance.”

The vengeful spirit girl grinned wickedly as she slowly approached: "Foolish humans, become my food!"

Natsuki Amamiya called out a name without changing her expression:

"Oink".

"..."

The smile on the vengeful spirit girl's face suddenly froze, and she opened her mouth in disbelief.

Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"Someone is wasting food here..."

Before she could finish speaking, the vengeful spirit girl trembled and quickly clasped her hands together, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, please forgive me."

The head chef usually doesn't come out of the cafeteria kitchen, but every time he does, it brings terror. He hates people who waste food the most, and if he finds someone wasting food, he will drag them into the kitchen to be used as reserve ingredients.

So the vengeful spirit girl in front of him immediately chickened out.

Even though I am a vengeful spirit now, I don't want to be used as food for food reserves.

"Me? Hush money. Pay up."

Natsuki Amamiya extended her right hand without any hesitation.

Is it illegal to bully vengeful spirits?

Of course it's not illegal.

"..."

The vengeful spirit girl's black hair swayed as she reluctantly pulled out a bone coin and offered it with both hands.

Natsuki Amamiya took the coin and felt its cool, smooth texture. Despite being made of bone, it felt delicate and silky, like jade.

"This is your hush money?"

Amamiya Natsuki held the coin with dissatisfaction.

You're only giving me one cent? Who are you looking down on?

"I'm sorry." The vengeful spirit girl felt even more aggrieved and almost cried. "This is all the money I have on me."

He only had enough money for his last meal; it was a heartbreaking story that brought tears to anyone who heard it.

Seeing the words "There's really not a single drop left" appear above the vengeful spirit girl's head, Natsuki Amamiya put away the coin and got up to leave.

"Um..." Fujiwara Chika, who was eavesdropping nearby, covered her chest and whispered, "It sounds like delinquents are extorting pocket money from elementary school students."

That's a huge vengeful spirit; it doesn't look like a primary school student at all.

Natsuki Amamiya looked over expressionlessly: "Fujiwara-kun, it's time to donate blood."

"Sorry, I was wrong."

Fujiwara Chika quickly apologized, realizing that discretion is the better part of valor.

"So that's how it works." Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her pink lips, thinking quickly. "That veteran player said that each game scene has hidden rules for clearing it. The hidden rule for the cafeteria is to make a deal with the vengeful spirit students?"

“There wasn’t a single transaction from beginning to end,” Fujiwara Chika couldn’t help but complain. “It was clearly only Amamiya who was bullying the vengeful spirit; that girl even cried!”
