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

Thinking about it carefully... it seems entirely feasible?

Humans cannot eat raw leeks, but dairy cows have no problem with it.

Cows are herbivores, and chives happen to be a type of herbaceous plant, so eating chives is perfectly normal, right?

Although she was surprised, Kujo Asuka had no regrets. Even if the leeks remained in her hands, they would still be useless trash and she wouldn't dare to feed them to the vengeful spirits.

Trading a bunch of chives for the opportunity to curry favor with a powerful figure is a win-win situation!

"Give."

Amamiya Natsuki handed the chives to Shinomiya Kaguya. He stood behind the cow spirit, intending to maintain the capture, leaving the feeding to someone else.

Kaguya Shinomiya took out a small knife, cut off the chives, and then handed the vibrant green chives to the beast girl spirit, saying calmly:

"Please enjoy."

"I won't eat it!" The beast-girl vengeful spirit stared at the chives in front of her, her voice trembling with anger, revealing a mouthful of jagged teeth. "You can tell from my teeth that I'm a carnivore now, and I want to eat meat!"

“Carnivores can eat grass too,” Fujiwara Chika said from the side. “Cats sometimes eat cat grass, and you’re a dairy cow anyway.”

"I am a vengeful spirit, not a cow!"

I am an evil spirit, how can I bear this humiliation!

“This vengeful spirit…” Kaguya Shinomiya tilted her head slightly, her voice echoing in the darkness, “Do you know how to make French foie gras?”

The beast girl vengeful spirit looked completely bewildered, clearly unaware of the situation.

“I know,” Fujiwara Chika raised her hand in response. “I saw a post on Twitter before, saying that they make geese stand in a special little cage all day long and can’t sleep. They also grab the geese by the neck and force food into them… Although French foie gras is delicious, I haven’t eaten it since then.”

Kaguya Shinomiya picked up the conversation: "This vengeful spirit, are you going to eat it yourself, or do you want us to stuff it in?"

"..."

With tears in her eyes, the beast girl vengeful spirit chose to submit.

It's always better to eat voluntarily than to be forced to eat by someone else; at least you can retain a last shred of dignity and respect.

"Cough cough..."

The beast-girl vengeful spirit opened her mouth and bit into the chives, chewing with teary eyes as she uttered a harsh threat: "Human, I'll remember this grudge!"

Kaguya Shinomiya remained calm and composed, completely unmoved.

The harsh words spoken by a prisoner only expose his blustering nature and his cowardly exterior.

"Amamiya-san, let's do it." Kaguya Shinomiya looked over.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and grasped the beast girl's tail again. He had to admit, it felt surprisingly good.

"Wait, wait a minute!" the beast girl vengeful spirit hurriedly called out. "That little bit of fodder is not enough to eat. Even if you play with my tail, you can't conjure up any food."

You think you can turn a bunch of chives into food? It's not that simple. You humans are celebrating too soon!

"It's alright." Fujiwara Chika pointed to the table and said in a clear voice, "The chives will be ready soon."

The beast-girl vengeful spirit turned her head and her eyes widened in surprise. The bunch of chives was growing out of thin air at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was simply unbelievable.

"Ah, you can cut it now."

Fujiwara Chika enthusiastically accepted the task of cutting chives, cut the chives, and handed them to Shinomiya Kaguya.

"Miss Vengeful Spirit." Kaguya Shinomiya held the chives to the cow vengeful spirit's mouth. "Please continue eating."

"This is outrageous! This is too much!" The beast girl vengeful spirit broke down immediately. "You don't even spare vengeful spirits!"

"..."

Resistance is futile.

The beast girl vengeful spirit soon found herself living a miserable life of eating grass and producing food.

"tasty."

"It really does taste like Meiji milk."

"By the way, the vengeful spirit has the words 'Meiji' on her neck. Could she have been a dairy cow at Meiji Dairy in her previous life?"

The girls discussed amongst themselves and drank the milk one after another to relieve their 'hunger'.

Seeing that all the humans had finished drinking the milk, the beast girl vengeful spirit breathed a sigh of relief with tears in her eyes, finally about to be freed from the hell of leeks.

However, what she didn't know was that hell had only just begun.

"Kujou-kun, Takanashi-kun," Kaguya Shinomiya said in a cool voice, her arms crossed, "you can open the door now and go and attract customers as planned."

Kaguya Shinomiya, the wicked heiress of a capitalist family, is about to begin building her own sinful empire.

(PS: By the way, it seems that chives can be eaten raw. I once ate raw chives at a roadside shop. It seemed to be simply pickled with salt, and it tasted okay...)

Chapter 49 Is it wrong for capitalists to exploit vengeful spirits?

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Cross it out.

Wherever there are people, there is commerce.

When a business develops to a certain stage, it will generate capital.

As the daughter of a wicked capitalist, Kaguya Shinomiya is well aware of just how powerful capital can be.

So, is it possible to become a capitalist in a horror game?

It is indeed possible to do so.

First of all, there seem to be a lot of players in each instance. It would be a waste not to take advantage of so many players.

Kaguya Shinomiya received an elite capitalist education from a young age. She believed that people in the world are divided into two types: those who can be used and those who are useless.

If it's possible to exploit vengeful spirits, then why can't it be possible to exploit players?

It's the dumbest choice for someone to put themselves in danger and painstakingly complete tasks. A true capitalist should control and integrate everyone, utilizing all players to conquer the game.

I, Kaguya Shinomiya, will become a capitalist in horror games!

Of course, this is a long-term goal, and we must proceed gradually and develop it step by step.

Set a small goal for now, like earning 100 million.

"Bang bang."

A soft knock sounded on the door.

Kaguya Shinomiya turned her head and said, "Please come in."

The first guest officially arrived.

"excuse me."

A girl who looked like a high school student pushed open the door and walked in. This horror game didn't seem to recruit elementary or middle school students, and the old man had never seen one before.

"I'm Kiyono..." The girl introduced herself briefly, then looked timidly at the vengeful cow next to Amamiya Natsuki and whispered, "Can I really exchange food with you?"

"Alright." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly. "You've heard about the exchange rules, right?"

“I’ve already heard that.” The girl nodded quickly, then took out a prop from her pocket. “Please give me a glass of milk.”

Capitalists usually start as small business owners.

The rules for redeeming food are simple.

One blind box item can be exchanged for a cup of milk at a fair price, with no deception of the young or old.

Although the items you get from blind boxes are a mixed bag, including things like instant noodles and bottled water, they might come in handy in special circumstances.

Standing for too long was too tiring, so Natsuki Amamiya was now sitting on the hospital bed. The cow spirit was sitting next to him, shoulder to shoulder, looking quite intimate.

Bored, Natsuki Amamiya curiously looked at the props.

[Props: Bloodstained eraser]

【How to use: Wipe】

[Type: consumables]

[Effect: Will erase one wrong answer on the test paper. This item has few uses remaining, please use it carefully.]

[Note: A top student collapsed in the exam hall, coughing up blood. He grabbed at the table with his blood-stained hand, helped me up, and said he wanted to delete his browsing history on his phone... but unfortunately, he only managed to grab an eraser in the end.]

"Um, can I trade this eraser for food?"

The girl asked timidly.

The blood-stained eraser looked like a useless prop, and the girl was worried about whether she could exchange it for food.

“No problem.” Kaguya Shinomiya took the eraser, her eyes darting around. “Amamiya-san, I’m counting on you.”

No matter what it is, even if it's just a pack of tissues, Kaguya Shinomiya will exchange it.

The most important thing now is to build a reputation.

Anyway, milk is something you can get by feeding a couple of handfuls of chives; it's a sure-fire way to make money.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "Leave it to me."

"Wait." The beast girl vengeful spirit, who had just relaxed, sensed something was wrong and glanced sideways at Amamiya Natsuki. "Humans, what do you want to do?"

“Of course we’re doing business,” Natsuki Amamiya said matter-of-factly. “Others trade items, we provide food, it’s normal, right?”

The beast-girl vengeful spirit gritted her teeth: "I mean, what do you intend to do to me?!"

"Please don't ask such a simple question." Amamiya Natsuki sighed, then turned to Fujiwara and said, "Fujiwara, come and feed the leeks."

"Coming."

"..."

The beast girl vengeful spirit felt everything go black before her eyes, and she trembled with rage... well, she couldn't tremble anymore.

Shameless!

What a shameless bunch of humans!

It's one thing to play with yourself, but to be even more unsatisfied and treat yourself as a money-making machine... How can humans be so dark!
