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

"Hurrah—"

"..."

The air suddenly became quiet.

The blonde bombshell covered her chest with her right hand, her eyes wide and her expression tense.

Chika-chan is incredibly brave to actually go and scare evil spirits!

The evil spirit froze for two seconds, then suddenly black mist surged from its body, and it stretched out its swollen, pale right hand to grab Fujiwara Chika:

"You can see me!"

"Natsuki-kun!" Fujiwara Chika quickly took two steps back. "Help!"

Amamiya Natsuki was naturally on high alert. Upon hearing this, she did not hesitate and decisively activated the Evil Spirit Repelling Aura.

An invisible force instantly engulfed the evil spirit, and black flames raged on its body before it quickly vanished amidst twists and wails.

"Okay, so awesome!"

The blonde bombshell stared wide-eyed at Natsuki Amamiya, her expression a mixture of surprise and curiosity.

Although I had heard Fujiwara Chika say that she had the ability to deal with evil spirits in the real world, this was the first time I had ever seen it with my own eyes.

"Hey, wait a minute." Kitagawa Kaimu asked curiously, "Natsuki-kun is so amazing, why doesn't she use it in the game?"

“It can’t be used.” Natsuki Amamiya sighed. “This skill can only be used in the real world; it will be sealed once you enter the game.”

“I understand, otherwise it would break the game balance.” The blonde bombshell grabbed Natsuki’s arm, her eyes sparkling. “But even so, it’s still amazing!”

Kaguya Shinomiya raised an eyebrow slightly and suddenly spoke:

"Fujiwara, how's the mission progressing?"

“I didn’t scare that evil spirit at all.” Fujiwara Chika shook her head, crossed her arms, and pondered, “Could it be that I wasn’t fierce enough?”

Natsuki Amamiya couldn't help but retort:

"I didn't realize you were trying to scare people just now; you were clearly just being cute."

“I didn’t,” Fujiwara Chika retorted. “I often use this trick to scare people. I’ve scared a lot of people, even Pace is afraid of it.”

Hey, is Pace your dog?

You even prey on dogs! Just how chaotic and terrifying are you?

Kaguya Shinomiya pondered and analyzed:

“These evil spirits have no reason, and ordinary fright is unlikely to work.”

“That makes sense.” Natsuki Amamiya nodded. “Evil spirits with reason…”

Amamiya Natsuki turned her gaze to Mrs. Kaguya.

"Eh?"

Mrs. Kaguya, who was reading on the sofa, tilted her head and looked over: "Natsuki-kun, that's so mean. I'm a guardian spirit, not an evil spirit."

"Scaring Aya-nee feels like cheating," Fujiwara Chika said after a moment's thought. "What about those old men?"

"Are they those tiny evil spirits, about the size of a doll?" The blonde bombshell nodded in agreement, her hands behind her back. "They do look a lot like old men. I think it's a good fit."

Evil spirits in the real world come in all shapes and sizes, many of which don't even have a human form. Among them, the most numerous are little old men, who often appear in various dark corners. They are less than knee-high and are not even afraid of children, making them the lowest level in the evil spirit food chain.

"We'll find out if it works or not by trying," said Natsuki Amamiya. "I have a feeling it might not work."

"Wait a minute," Fujiwara Chika gestured for everyone to stop. "You guys open the blind boxes first; there might be a surprise mission inside."

As it turned out, there was no surprise at all.

Natsuki Amamiya expressionlessly put away a box of tissues, then left the activity room with the three girls.

The four of them worked together and soon found a little old man evil spirit in the corner.

Upon seeing Natsuki Amamiya and the others, this thing quickly hid behind the vending machine.

"Wow——"

Fujiwara Chika raised her hands to her face, making a face to scare away the evil spirit.

"You... can you see me?"

It sounded like a baby's high-pitched voice, cold and hollow.

Fujiwara Chika nodded: "I can see."

"You can see me!"

The little old man's evil spirit eyes instantly turned red, and he leaped forward, pouncing on Fujiwara Chika. His body was small, but his movements were exceptionally agile and swift.

"Help! Help!"

The pink-haired girl was startled and quickly hid behind Natsuki Amamiya.

Amamiya Natsuki silently activated her evil aura dispelling effect, and the old man's evil spirit vanished into thin air: "Looks like this won't work."

Kaguya Shinomiya pondered for a moment:

"Based on previous observations, evil spirits in reality do not have self-awareness or any sense of fear."

"What should we do then?" Fujiwara Chika asked pitifully. "We finally encountered an interesting mission, and we don't want to give up."

"Um, I have an idea." Kitagawa Kaimu raised her right hand. "In the haunted houses of amusement parks, the ghosts played by the staff are also considered spirits, right?"

Chapter 82 Haunted House Tour

"That happened after school this afternoon." Amamiya Natsuki glanced at the time. "Go back and take the exam."

"We'll talk after school." Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands together. "By the way, I remember the entrance exam rankings. Natsuki-san was second, just behind Kaguya-chan, right?"

Natsuki Amamiya said expressionlessly, "Your memory is amazing."

"Hey, thanks for the compliment."

That's enough, I wasn't praising you at all!

"Speaking of which, Natsuki always ranked first in her grade in every exam when she was in junior high school," Kitagawa Kaimu muttered, her right hand on her hip. "It's just that she has a gloomy personality and rarely talks, which makes people afraid to talk to her."

Amamiya Natsuki looked over in surprise: "How did you know?"

"We're junior high school classmates, okay?" The blonde bombshell widened her eyes, pointed to her nose, and said incredulously, "Natsuki didn't recognize me?"

Amamiya Natsuki hesitated: "...We're not in the same class, are we?"

"No, I'm in Class C."

Sure enough.

They weren't in the same class, so it's normal that they didn't recognize each other.

"Oh, what a coincidence! From childhood to adulthood, Kaguya-chan has always been number one in every exam." Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes sparkling. "I remember in the entrance exam rankings, Natsuki-san and Kaguya-chan were only one point apart, right?"

"Maybe this exam will give me a chance to catch up with Kaguya-chan."

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya looked at Kaguya Shinomiya with intense gaze:

"It's not catching up, it's surpassing."

Losing is incredibly frustrating, so you have to win it back.

Those who say rankings are unimportant have certainly never been number one.

"Commendable courage." Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms, her wine-red eyes fixed on him, and the corners of her lips slightly upturned. "In that case, I'll be a little more serious too."

"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Fujiwara Chika exclaimed in shock, "Kaguya-chan never took exams seriously before?"

Amamiya Natsuki remarked:

"I only use one hand during every exam."

"Wow, that's amazing..." Fujiwara Chika exclaimed in amazement, then suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, everyone's writing their answers with one hand, right?"

"..."

The daytime exams passed quickly.

Starting tomorrow, it will be the May Day Golden Week.

The exam rankings will be announced after the Golden Week holiday ends, and the competition for the new student council president will begin.

"The exam is over, and the test was so hard," Fujiwara Chika said pitifully. "I suddenly got so sleepy during the exam that I almost didn't finish. I'm sure I'll fail this time."

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya said:

"Don't worry, you passed."

"Hey, why?"

"People who say they fail often end up passing."

Fujiwara Chika quickly put the exam out of her mind and said in a clear voice:

"Natsuki-kun, shall we go?"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded in agreement: "Let's go."

The fight against organized crime and evil forces is a joint effort, and neither part can be missing.

In a sense, this pink-haired girl has become one of the most important people in the world.

"It's been so long since I've been to an amusement park, I miss it." Mrs. Kaguya put her hands behind her back and looked at her daughter, "Little Kaguya, do you want to go?"

"I……"

A hint of hesitation appeared on Kaguya Shinomiya's pretty face.

“Kaguya-chan seems to have a lot of classes to attend after school every day,” Fujiwara Chika chimed in. “The four of us can go.”

"What a pity," Mrs. Kaguya said wistfully. "My lifelong wish to take little Kaguya to an amusement park has never been fulfilled."

As they were speaking, Kitagawa Kaimu walked in from outside, her smile as bright and sunny as she waved and called out:

"Let's go, let's go to the amusement park."

Kaguya Shinomiya's gaze sharpened, and she suddenly said:
