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

"Kaguya-chan is amazing!"

Fujiwara Chika looked on with admiration, "I didn't even notice there were flags on the playground."

"..."

A short while later, a road sign appeared on the side of the road.

"Go over and have a look."

The three approached and saw a dilapidated road sign standing by the roadside, weathered by countless storms, with black and red blood-red characters indicating the direction:

[Dining room]

【examination room】

【playground】

School Clinic

[Comprehensive Building]

Swimming pool

【Music Classroom】

"It's one of the Seven Mysteries of the School." Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened, her voice unconsciously softening. "Amamiya-san, where should we go?"

"I don't know," Natsuki Amamiya shook her head.

It was just an ordinary road sign. Amamiya Natsuki stared at it for a moment, but no prompt appeared.

Fujiwara Chika said disappointedly, "It would have been nice if I could have asked for directions."

This is a school of vengeful spirits; the entire school is filled with them. Is it really okay to ask a vengeful spirit for directions?

The entire school was deathly still, cold and desolate. Not a single wandering vengeful student could be seen on the road, and no one knew who to ask for directions.

"Let me think about it..."

Fujiwara Chika extended two fingers, pressed them against her temples, closed her eyes like someone with special abilities, and made indistinct muttering sounds.

"Ah, I've made my choice!" Fujiwara Chika quickly opened her eyes, the black ribbon in her hair swaying gently, and said in a clear voice, "I'll go to the cafeteria."

"What's the reason?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked over curiously. Could it be that this Fujiwara, like himself, possessed some kind of special ability?

Fujiwara Chika chuckled: "Because the cafeteria is the closest to us, it's right in front of us, we don't need to turn, we can just walk straight there."

"..."

Natsuki Amamiya gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Fujiwara-kun, you really are very clever.

Chapter 9 Fujiwara-kun: Quick, use your fat to think of a solution!

"The cafeteria..."

Natsuki Amamiya hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Let's go take a look first."

The three walked along the road and soon saw a canteen in front of them.

"Speaking of which, our school has a cafeteria too. I've eaten there with my friends, and the food is amazing." Fujiwara Chika put her hands behind her back, looking around. "Has Kaguya-chan ever eaten at the cafeteria?"

"No."

Kaguya Shinomiya answered calmly.

"Where is Amamiya-san?"

Amamiya Natsuki said, "I've been there."

"Hey, what does Amamiya-san like to eat? I love the teriyaki chicken cutlet from the cafeteria, it tastes amazing."

Amamiya Natsuki sighed silently, finally confirming that the Fujiwara-kun in front of her... was indeed very intelligent.

This is a school full of vengeful spirits fraught with danger; you should at least show some respect.

The journey was peaceful and uneventful; they encountered neither other players nor any vengeful students.

The three of them quickly arrived at the cafeteria entrance, exchanged a glance, and stepped into the cafeteria.

The scene before them suddenly changed in the next moment.

The light was dim, and the yellowish lamplight flickered on and off, as if it would go out at any moment.

A faint smell of blood and an indescribable strange odor filled the air.

dong dong dong.

The dull sound of knives chopping bones came from the back of the cafeteria.

Apart from that, there were no other sounds, making the entire cafeteria feel extremely oppressive.

There weren't many customers in the cafeteria; they were mostly vengeful spirits. As Amamiya Natsuki and the other two living people walked in, all the vengeful spirits looked up at them.

These vengeful spirits were all deathly pale, some even without eyes. Their sudden head-raising startled Fujiwara Chika, who couldn't help but gasp.

"Why are there vengeful spirits in the cafeteria?!"

Of course, it's normal for students to eat in the cafeteria, right?

Kaguya Shinomiya remained cold and expressionless, as if nothing concerned her, but the text above her head was completely different from her calm and composed expression.

[How scary, how scary, how scary!]

at the same time.

A cold, hoarse voice echoed in the minds of the three.

[You have entered the scene: The Vengeful Spirit's Dining Hall]

[Game Rules: Good students must eat on time. Please finish your last supper and give a five-star review.]

[Dining Rules in the Cafeteria: Each meal must contain at least 200 grams of food]

"You can pass the level by eating, which feels much easier than the wooden figure."

Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up.

"Simple?" A cold laugh rang out. "I hope you don't burst into tears later."

Natsuki Amamiya looked in the direction of the sound and saw a player wearing a hood. He looked pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. In front of him was a bowl of soup, and inside... there was mist condensing into a black skull, which was floating up in the air.

What kind of dish is that?

The smile on Fujiwara Chika's face gradually froze.

"It feels like this is a dish that could kill someone." Amamiya Natsuki's eyes twitched slightly, and she took a deep breath. "Anyway, let's go check the cafeteria window first."

The three of them walked up to the cafeteria window.

The dull sound of chopping meat stopped, and then a figure emerged from the darkness.

It turned out to be a pig-headed man who was nearly two meters tall and had a burly build. He was holding a dripping cleaver in his hand, and his apron was splattered with blood, making it unrecognizable.

As the pig-headed butcher appeared, the vengeful students in the cafeteria all lowered their heads, his intimidating power reaching its peak.

"Good evening, what would you three like to eat?"

A deep, hoarse voice came from the pig-headed butcher as he pointed to a signboard: "This is today's menu. Please choose for yourselves."

Natsuki Amamiya looked at the notice board and found that there was only one dish listed.

[Today's special dish: Borscht with unknown ingredients. Don't be surprised if you find something you like.]

[Today's special dish: Pork chop rice bowl with unknown ingredients. Please do not ask about the source of the meat.]

As Amamiya Natsuki looked down, good heavens, it was all food from the underworld; there was no food for normal humans at all.

"Is it really okay to eat this kind of food?"

Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath.

The three of them soon realized that whether they would get an upset stomach was one thing, but whether they could actually eat it was another.

"There are 30 minutes left before the cafeteria break. Please eat within the designated time." The pig-headed butcher's voice was deep. "Those who do not finish their food or do not eat within the designated time will be kept in the cafeteria."

"Um, thanks for reminding me..." Fujiwara Chika blinked, trying to slip away, but quickly exclaimed, "Eh, the door's gone?"

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya looked behind her and saw that the cafeteria door had disappeared, leaving only a patch of dark red mist.

It was clearly impossible to leave easily.

Turning my gaze back to the pig-headed butcher, a line of text slowly appeared.

Real name: Oink

The most annoying behavior is wasting food.

"In that case, we have no choice but to eat."

Kaguya crossed her arms, her expression as calm and composed as ever.

Then came the problem.

"Please pay your bill first, three guests," the pig-headed butcher said in a low voice.

"Hey, I have to pay?"

Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened upon hearing this.

The pig-headed butcher silently gripped his blood-stained cleaver: "You want to dine and dash?"

"Please don't misunderstand." Kaguya Shinomiya pulled Fujiwara behind her, her expression serious. "We hate people who dine and dash."

"let me try."

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly thought of a possibility, quickly took out her wallet from her pocket, pulled out a Noguchi Hideyo bill, and then the worst-case scenario occurred.

"The cafeteria only accepts currency circulating within the school; money from the human world cannot be used," the pig-headed butcher said in a low voice.

Totally understandable.

This is a school for vengeful spirits, so it's perfectly normal that we can't use money from the human world.
