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

With Chika and Haruno's endorsement, the other girls carefully tore off the spider's legs and began to try. Some hesitated, some looked hesitant, but in the end, they all successfully completed their first spider experience.

Many things are like this: before experiencing them, you will inevitably feel afraid and apprehensive, but once you have experienced them, the door to a new world will open for you.

"We're done eating, we're done eating." Fujiwara Chika clapped her hands. "The spider looks big, but there's not much to eat. If only we could catch a wild boar."

"You're overthinking it." Natsuki Amamiya looked at Chika. "You can't actually eat wild boar."

"Huh?" Fujiwara Chika looked over, puzzled. "Why?"

Amamiya Natsuki remarked:

"Because it will taste so bad that it will make you question your existence."

Wild boar, pheasant, rabbit, duck, and other wild animals that are older are generally not very palatable.

Wild boars smell terrible in the wild. If you don't bleed them properly when you kill them, and there aren't enough spices to mask the smell, even if you roast them, one bite will make you question your existence. There are many hunters abroad who legally hunt wild boars with sniper rifles, but they never eat them because they are truly awful.

The same applies to pheasants and rabbits. Even free-range chickens raised in rural areas will become dry and tough after living for four or five years, making them impossible to chew.

The only large, legally available wild animal meat currently available for purchase is yak meat, which, when made into yak jerky, can be used as a chew toy.

Of course, yak meat strips are specially made, so although they are hard to chew, they become more and more fragrant the more you chew them. People who can't control their cravings but want to lose weight can give them a try. One strip is enough for you to eat all day without worrying about gaining weight, provided that you have good teeth.

If you were accidentally stranded on a desert island and forced to survive in the wilderness, the best food would be fish and bird eggs—basically, anything you could eat.

"Hmm..." The adopted daughter pursed her dry lips, looked at her senior, and whispered, "I want to drink water."

As everyone finished eating, the problem of fresh water resurfaced, and became even more urgent. During their previous exploration deep into the jungle, they had only found food, not fresh water. Now that they had eaten, their mouths were naturally even drier and more uncomfortable. As for seawater, that stuff was absolutely undrinkable; drinking it would only make them thirstier.

Senior Sister Yanzi reached out her right hand tenderly and gently patted her adopted daughter's head, saying softly:

"Xiao Kui, just bear with it a little longer."

Although she no longer has the memories of being a mother and daughter, the senior student still instinctively wants to take care of her adopted daughter.

Yukino Yukinoshita whispered:

"When surviving on a desert island, there are generally two sources of fresh water. One is to find a fresh water source, which can be a stream or water vines. The second method is rainwater, which is fresh water and does not need to be boiled or sterilized, so it can be drunk directly."

"The forest is too dangerous, I don't want to go in again at all." Fujiwara Chika looked up at the sky. "If it rained now, I would do anything."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold drop of water suddenly landed on Amamiya Natsuki's face.

"Um?!"

Amamiya Natsuki looked up at the sky in shock.

It actually started raining! Could it be that Chika isn't a 100% jinx after all?

As the cool raindrops began to fall, the girls cheered up.

"Hey, it's actually raining!"

"Chika-chan is amazing."

"Everyone, quickly find something to catch the rainwater; the freshwater crisis has been successfully resolved."

"..."

At that moment, a deep, strange voice suddenly entered Amamiya Natsuki's ears.

"Qua~"

As Amamiya Natsuki turned her head, she saw a giant frog hopping towards her on the beach not far away.

"This thing... is it a bullfrog?"

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly.

However, when the frog hopped right in front of her, Natsuki Amamiya realized that it wasn't a bullfrog, because it was much bigger than a bullfrog, at least the size of a watermelon. Biologically, it was indeed a frog, but it was many times larger than a normal frog.

The raindrops were still falling, but they weren't big. Along with them came clusters of dark shadows.

pat.

Sand splashed.

Natsuki Amamiya looked down and saw a small crater on the beach not far away, with an enormous frog lying in the middle.

It was obvious that a frog had just fallen from the sky.

The other girls also noticed something was wrong.

"Hey, hey, hey, how come a frog is falling from the sky?"

"Those frogs were huge; I've never seen frogs that big before."

"How strange, how come he's completely unharmed after falling from such a height?"

"..."

pat pat pat pat.

Frogs fell from the sky like cannonballs, crashing onto the ground. Those that landed on the beach sent sand flying, while those that landed on tree branches snapped the branches. Strangely, all of these frogs were alive and well, without any injuries.

"Crack."

"Quack quack quack".

The frogs quickly found their target and hopped towards the crowd, croaking as they went; there were dozens or even hundreds of them.

Compared to spiders, frogs are undoubtedly cuter, or at least less annoying. But seeing dozens or even hundreds of frogs hopping at you at once is still unsettling, especially with frogs continuously falling from the sky and their numbers increasing rapidly.

Snapped!

A frog came up a few meters away from Natsuki Amamiya, and suddenly stuck out its tongue, slapping Natsuki Amamiya's calf.

"Hmm...it really is a frog."

The other girls were also attacked by the frogs.

"Ouch, it hurts so much..."

“It feels so gross.”

"Natsuki, what should we do?"

These frogs only have one way to attack: sticking out their tongues. They won't break the skin when they hit a person, but it will still hurt. One frog is okay, but if dozens or hundreds of frogs attack together, it's impossible to withstand it.

Amamiya Natsuki looked around and noticed that the frog rain phenomenon only lasted over the island, and the sea remained calm. She immediately decided:

"Let's go out to sea."

Amamiya Natsuki arrived at the lifeboat and pushed the stranded lifeboat directly into the sea. After the girls boarded the boat, she pushed the lifeboat into the sea.

"Phew~ We're finally safe."

The girls breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a chill run down their spines.

Turning to look at the shore, you can see more and more frogs, even covering the entire beach. Looking around, there is a swarm of green creatures hopping around, which makes you feel like you have a phobia of green creatures.

"There are so many frogs!" Fujiwara Chika exclaimed, patting her chest. "How can there be so many frogs?"

“It’s not surprising that there are frogs.” Hayasaka Ai frowned. “Tornadoes can lift marine life up and suck it into the sky. Fish, shrimp, and crabs can fall from the sky, but it’s strange that there are only frogs, and that they fell from such a height without any damage.”

“They are also very aggressive.” Yukino Yukinoshita frowned. “Generally speaking, frogs don’t attack creatures larger than themselves because of their vision… those frogs were clearly heading straight for us.”

Senior Sister Yanzi said softly:

"Moreover, the frogs are all too exaggerated in size; there are definitely no frogs that big in reality."

Zhu Zhu frowned and whispered:

"It feels somewhat familiar..."

"What do you mean, 'familiar'?" the senior student asked curiously.

"N-nothing..." Zhu Zhu quickly shook her head, her expression returning to its usual indifferent state.

This Zhu Zhu is actually a little socially awkward. Before getting to know her, she often pretends to be indifferent, and is cold and doesn't talk much.

At this moment, Natsuki Amamiya said softly:

"Zhu Zhu is right. What we are seeing now is actually a rain of frogs."

"Huh?" The girls were all confused. "Frog rain? What's that?"

Zhu Zhu blurted out:

"So it's 'Famine'!"

Fujiwara Chika looked over curiously: "Zhu Zhu, what is 'Famine'?"

"It's just a game..." Zhu Zhu was clearly not comfortable speaking in front of so many people, and whispered, "Let Xia Shu say it."

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said:

"I'm sorry, I don't know either. Please, Lord Zhu, clear up our doubts."

Zhu Zhu: "..."

Damn it! This guy just said it was raining frogs, he clearly knew!

But Natsuki Amamiya was shameless and insisted she didn't know. Zhu Zhu had no choice but to blush and quietly explain to everyone:

"Don't Starve is a survival game, it might not be very famous, but it's a lot of fun... It's a bit tough at first, but you'll get used to it..."

The group sat in lifeboats, floating on the sea, listening to Zhu Zhu explain the basic information and settings of "Famine".

"So..." Senior Yanzi said softly, "we're actually in a game?"

“Senior, you’ve misunderstood,” Natsuki Amamiya corrected. “We’re not in the game; this nightmare is just using the game’s settings.”

"Sounds about right." Fujiwara Chika rested her rosy cheek on her right hand. "No wonder the frogs and spiders on the island are so huge, they're monsters from a game... Wait a minute!"

Fujiwara Chika suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Amamiya Natsuki: "Does that mean we'll encounter even bigger monsters later?"

“That’s most likely the case.” Amamiya Natsuki nodded. “In the famine, spiders and frogs are just the most common monsters.”

After a pause, Natsuki Amamiya continued:

"However, the dangers of famine are not only from monsters, but also from various harsh environments. In short, you should be mentally prepared."

"..."

at the same time.

On the coast.
