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

Taking the candy from the vengeful spirit naturally comes at a price, no problem.

"That's so unfair!" Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but exclaim. "It's just a piece of candy, the price is too high!"

"Choose a candy."

The pale, bloodless hand waved at Amamiya Natsuki again, a hint of impatience creeping into his voice.

Amamiya Natsuki, with a calm and composed expression, suddenly said:

Why can we only choose one?

The voice from the last cubicle paused, startled: "What do you mean?"

Amamiya Natsuki said seriously, "I choose to have them all."

"……Can."

The vengeful spirit in the cubicle remained silent for two seconds, then said, "It's all yours."

"Wait a minute, I have another question." Natsuki Amamiya didn't reach for the candy. "Is your candy past its expiration date?"

"..."

The vengeful spirit behind the cubicle was completely dumbfounded.

What exactly is this human saying?

Why would someone care about the expiration date at a time like this?

"No."

The vengeful spirit answered, suppressing its anger.

"Please wait a moment," Natsuki Amamiya said calmly. "Have your candies passed the review of the Food Safety Protection Law?"

"..."

This is a school inhabited by vengeful spirits, so where did the food safety inspectors come from?

This human is clearly making a fool of himself!

"No! Nothing!"

The vengeful spirit's anger surged, its bluish-gray fingernails rapidly lengthening as it roared, "Human, quickly choose a candy!"

Amamiya Natsuki, seemingly oblivious to the impending anger, reminded him:

"Young man, producing and selling substandard or counterfeit food products is a serious illegal act. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Bang bang bang!

A loud bang came from the cubicle door.

"Stop arguing and just pick a candy!"

The vengeful spirit behind the cubicle was on the verge of going berserk.

“If you won’t listen to advice, then there’s nothing I can do.” Amamiya Natsuki sighed, faced the challenge head-on, grabbed the wrist of the vengeful spirit in the bathroom, and said in a serious tone, “This student, you’re under arrest.”

"Meow?"

An incredulous voice rang out; it was Fujiwara Chika, who was still trapped in the bathroom.

How come the vengeful spirit was suddenly arrested when I was being harassed by it?

"Human, you are courting death."

The vengeful spirit's voice was chilling.

As a vengeful spirit, it is not afraid at all even if the police come.

"Don't misunderstand, you weren't arrested for selling substandard food products." Amamiya Natsuki's tone was calm, pausing slightly for two seconds. "...This is the women's restroom, isn't it?"

"Why would a boy like you be in the women's restroom?"

The vengeful spirit: "..."

Is there something wrong with your focus?

"So you're a perverted voyeur!" Fujiwara Chika blurted out.

"I'm not, I didn't."

The vengeful spirit quickly denied it.

"Did you hear the school-wide wanted notice just now?" Amamiya Natsuki said unhurriedly. "Our location is announced every ten minutes. It's almost time. Someone will be here soon. What do you think will happen when they find you hiding in the girls' restroom?"

The vengeful spirit: "..."

will die.

And he died a horrible death.

Although everyone is a vengeful spirit, basic human order is still maintained.

If a boy hides in the women's restroom, no matter how he explains it, he will be considered a voyeur. Once those girls turn into vengeful spirits, they can tear him to pieces in a matter of minutes.

Thinking of this, the vengeful spirit in the bathroom was already trying to make a run for it.

He has a special ability to teleport between different restrooms without fear of being caught.

Then it was shocked to discover that its wrist was still being held firmly by a human.

"Human, let go of my hand..."

The vengeful spirit uttered threats.

"Shut up," Natsuki Amamiya calmly interrupted. "Open the door and let them both out."

"..."

Humans who are mere crickets, how dare they threaten vengeful spirits?

Do you really think vengeful spirits are easy to bully?

"Ah, you can open it now."

Fujiwara Chika gasped and quickly opened the door to the cubicle, walking out with the aloof Kaguya-sama.

Amamiya Natsuki said, "Fujiwara-kun, give the candy back to him."

"Oh."

Fujiwara Chika hurriedly handed the candy back, and the vengeful spirit hiding in the bathroom silently accepted it, not daring to refuse at all.

"let's go."

Amamiya Natsuki then released her hand.

Once you admit defeat, you'll become more and more timid.

The three of them walked out of the restroom.

"The broadcast will be going on again soon," Kaguya Shinomiya reminded her.

"Shall we go to the rooftop?"

Fujiwara Chika raised her hand to make the suggestion.

As they were talking, the broadcast sounded again, announcing the three people's locations, and the Ghost Academy was once again in an uproar.

The three quickly went up the stairs, intending to hide on the rooftop.

Upon reaching the end, they discovered that the door leading to the rooftop was locked.

“Don’t worry.” Fujiwara Chika reached out to touch the hair clip on her head. “I have special lock-picking skills. I can open locks with hair clips.”

Wow, you know such advanced techniques! Are you a specially made girl?

"How long will it take to unlock it?" Natsuki Amamiya asked.

"Three to five minutes."

Without saying a word, Natsuki Amamiya quickly went downstairs: "Let's go."

If you stay in one place for three to five minutes, the daylily will get cold!

The three of them quickly went downstairs. Just as they turned the corner, they bumped into a vengeful spirit dressed in a suit. The spirit was tall and surrounded by swirling black mist. Its resentment churned into various shapes from time to time, making it look extremely terrifying.

A text prompt quickly appeared in front of Natsuki Amamiya's eyes.

[Rank: Head of Academic Affairs]

[Exploitable weakness: Ultimate cat lover; even as a vengeful spirit, he will not harm his cat]

Da da da.

The vengeful spirit with only a pair of beautiful legs reappeared behind the three of them.

In an instant, there were wolves in front and tigers behind.

Amamiya Natsuki quickly took out cat ear hair accessories and looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, whose pretty face was expressionless and whose head was constantly displaying the words "How scary, how scary, how scary".

"Kaguya-san, hurry up and turn into a catgirl!"

(PS: I applied for a contract last week, but haven't heard anything. I guess the application was rejected. I'm so upset.)

Chapter 18 Using Kaguya to Command the Lords

Why would you wear something like this?

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"There's no time to explain, trust me." Natsuki Amamiya handed over the cat ear hair accessory. "Put it on first."

Kaguya Shinomiya quickly chose to trust him.

Now that they're teammates, Natsuki Amamiya would never harm her.

As for shyness... that useless emotion simply doesn't exist in Kaguya Shinomiya's dictionary.

Kaguya Shinomiya, still with her signature long, straight, black hair, took the cat-ear hair accessory and calmly put it on her head, her expression as aloof and composed as ever.

A sentence suddenly popped into Natsuki Amamiya's mind:

Once you put on this golden headband, you will no longer be an ordinary person.
