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

"Shut up."

Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms and glanced at him with a cold expression.

hum-

A red light quickly welled up in the eyes of the head of the teaching department.

Without needing anyone to teach her, Kaguya Shinomiya knew exactly what she needed to do, silently adding her catchphrase to the end:

"Meow~"

The head of the teaching department quieted down, satisfied.

at the same time.

A game panel suddenly pops up in front of all players.

[Announcement to All]

Players "Evil of This World", "Cancer of Earth", and "Cat Girl Kaguya" have successfully cleared all stages and won the Best MV award for this round. Currently, some stages are broken, important characters are missing, and several vengeful students need psychological counseling.

[Data analysis in progress...]

The Ghost Academy is closing soon; the reopening date for the dungeon is yet to be determined.

Please note that all players will be removed from this instance in ten seconds. Please be prepared.

[Ten, nine, eight, seven...]

There were quite a few unlucky players participating in the Ghost Academy, and almost all of them were cautiously struggling to survive when they suddenly received the game notification, which shocked them.

"What the hell?"

"I barely managed to get through the first scene, and someone else has already cleared the entire dungeon?"

"Seven scenes in total, could it be that the vengeful spirits in them are all from Changban Slope, allowing Zhao Zilong to enter and exit seven times at will!"

"You can tell from the game title that he's a big shot... no, he should be one of the top three!"

"In One Piece, there are three admirals of the Navy. It's normal for the game 'Ghost Spirit' to have three giant players, right?"

"I feel like the art style of that catgirl player is a bit off."

"..."

Amidst the lively discussion, the countdown quickly came to an end.

Amamiya Natsuki felt a momentary blur before her eyes.

next moment.

The three of them had returned to the sunny campus. A gentle breeze was blowing, and pink and white cherry blossoms were quietly falling. The girls in short skirts walked lightly, their skirts fluttering, and their laughter was as melodious as a barbell. It was completely different from the dark and oppressive Ghost Academy.

"Well……"

Fujiwara Chika stretched out two fingers, pressed them against her temples, shook her head vigorously, and said in a dazed tone, "Kaguya-chan, good morning~ I just had a hallucination. The two of us, plus Amamiya-san, were on a great adventure in a school full of vengeful spirits."

Natsuki Amamiya and Kaguya Shinomiya gazed at them in silence.

"Huh?" Fujiwara Chika blinked, and asked cautiously, "Why aren't you guys saying anything?"

"That was not an illusion."

Kaguya Shinomiya spoke calmly.

"W-How could this be? Our clothes are clean, we obviously haven't been anywhere... Kaguya-chan is playing a trick on me with Amamiya-san, isn't she?"

Natsuki Amamiya paused for two seconds before reciting the team's declaration:

"Kaguya-san, forever a goddess."

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya slightly twitched the corner of her mouth.

What? It's clearly a mascot!

"Huh? Could it really not be a hallucination?" Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened quickly. "Everything that just happened was a real experience, not a hallucination?"

"Listen to me first..."

Kaguya Shinomiya pressed her fingers to her brow, exhaled gently, and then explained what had happened from last night to today.

"I see." Fujiwara Chika quickly calmed down, her eyes sparkling. "So Kaguya-chan encountered a super interesting mysterious event."

"I don't find it interesting at all."

Kaguya Shinomiya's expression was aloof, and her tone was indifferent.

Fujiwara Chika tilted her head: "But Kaguya-chan doesn't seem scared at all."

Some people just pretend not to be afraid, but who knows how scared they are inside!

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya's gaze shifted slightly upwards, landing on the top of Kaguya Shinomiya's head.

A line of text quietly appeared above the head of the girl with long, straight black hair:

[How terrifying, how terrifying, how terrifying... I absolutely don't want to encounter something so horrible!]

"I'm going to the classroom now."

After speaking in a low voice, Natsuki Amamiya prepared to leave.

The three of them were currently standing in front of the shoe cabinet in the lobby. If they continued to stand together and talk, they would inevitably attract attention. In fact, some onlookers had already started to peek over with curious eyes.

"Let's go too."

Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms and walked upstairs with a cool expression.

"Kaguya-chan, let's go together."

Fujiwara Chika quickly followed.

Amamiya Natsuki lagged a few steps behind, carrying her schoolbag as she walked, pondering her future life plans.

I've lived a peaceful and uneventful life for sixteen years, thinking it was just an ordinary everyday world. Now, suddenly, hell mode has been unlocked, which is truly painful.

Horror games aren't something you can just relax about once you've finished playing. Amamiya Natsuki learned about it last night; players are forced to participate in a game every so often, and there's no end in sight.

My previous life plan was simple: study hard, get into a good university, and have a sweet romance... It wouldn't matter if I had a few more.

I desire both the black-stockinged senior and the cute loli; if I could have both, my life would be perfect!

Right now... survival is the most important thing.

As Amamiya Natsuki pondered, she opened the game panel.

[Game settlement complete, please scroll down to view]

[Player Title: Evil of This World, generated based on your overall performance]

You have completed a total of seven side quests and earned 70 game coins.

You have unlocked a new item in the shop.

[Special Notice: You have been the subject of a joint complaint from several vengeful spirit students and are temporarily banned from entering the Vengeful Spirit Academy.]

"Students fighting and playing around actually filed a joint complaint. Those vengeful spirits must have terrible mental fortitude."

Amamiya Natsuki curiously opened the game store and found that next to the daily blind box, there was a new item: attribute points.

Today's attribute point: Stamina

Price: 50 game coins

[Product Description: After purchasing, you will receive a permanent increase in stamina.]

[Note: As is well known, the main advantage of endurance lies in married life, provided you already have a wife or girlfriend.]

Natsuki Amamiya was very dissatisfied.

Chilling!

On this sweltering day, cold sweat drips down my face. So what if I don't have a girlfriend?

Did a single dog eat your rice?

"Ahhh-"

A panicked, low cry suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya looked up and saw Chika Fujiwara, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stumble and fall to the ground. Before she could react, everything went black.

Teacher, Secretary Fujiwara has committed a foul while carrying the ball!

Chapter 21 Yotsuya Miko: Childhood Friends Never Lose

"A ghostly, eerie... a phantom!"

Fujiwara Chika was completely unaware of her foul by charging the ball into someone, and nervously grabbed Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve, feeling utterly terrified.

Hey, aren't you supposed to be naturally naive?

We're not afraid of any of the vengeful spirits in the Haunted Academy, so why should we be afraid of ghosts?

Natsuki Amamiya rubbed her nose, looked up, and her eyes twitched slightly.

On the roof of the corridor lay a terrifying, enormous vengeful spirit, like a giant snake with a head resembling a woman's. Its black hair hung down, almost covering the entire corridor, and it seemed to have a life of its own, twisting and howling incessantly in the air.

Mr. Zhou Shuren's story of the beautiful snake lures people with her beauty, but the evil spirit in front of him... is just like a car accident scene, too gruesome to bear.

This is a monster that exists only in the depths of nightmares.

Even a single glance from an ordinary person can cause their sanity to plummet and give them goosebumps.

I am sorry.

I misunderstood you, Fujiwara-kun.

Everyone is afraid of this thing; even being naturally naive is useless against it.

Even Kaguya was no exception; she involuntarily took a half-step back, her expression remaining calm and composed, while 'So scary, so scary, so scary' emoticons kept floating above her head.

"You... can you see me?"

The long-haired evil spirit, who had been lying in a daze at the top of the corridor, heard the noise. In an instant, more than a dozen scarlet and terrifying eyes stared at them, and a sinister voice entered the ears of the three.
