Speaking of this topic, Kaguya Shinomiya's face suddenly darkened.
It seems like I accidentally stepped on a landmine.
Fujiwara Chika muttered in her heart.
But she also knew the situation of her friend's family.
Chika Fujiwara's family has been aristocratic family deeply involved in politics for generations, so the rules at home are naturally very strict. Even electronic games are prohibited. They can only find a way around it by playing board games. This is also partly why the girl was keen on going out to find interesting places (and eating ramen) in the past.
But compared to the high-pressure control in her friend's family, Fujiwara Chika felt that her own family was already extremely relaxed.
To use a game analogy, your own home is in easy mode, while the other side is in hell mode... In the past, let alone attending other schools' school festivals where there were many people and a lot of chaos, even finding a place to eat dessert after class, Shinomiya Kaguya never agreed to the invitation.
Plus, she always looks aloof on weekdays, so people in school privately call her the Ice Beauty of Shuchiin.
So today, as usual, she just sent a formal invitation to the other party. When the other party actually agreed to come out, Fujiwara Chika was so surprised that she almost forgot to wear her original bow.
"Just to improve the mood a little."
Shinomiya Kaguya said this concisely.
Fujiwara Chika carefully peeked at her expression. Although it was difficult for people who were not familiar with Kaguya to tell anything from her face, as a close friend, Fujiwara Chika felt that she could still tell some of Kaguya's thoughts from the micro-expressions on her face.
"That expression... I can't be wrong, it's the expression of wanting to eat fried noodles!"
Of course, it's just self-admitted.
"Kaguya-san, would you like some fried noodles?"
So she confidently went for A.
"Need not."
"..."
Even the tactic of dragging out the story for several chapters before the finale failed.
Looking at the suddenly dejected Fujiwara Chika, Shinomiya Kaguya sighed: "I was really just a little bored at home, so I came out to get some fresh air. Don't mind me."
Rather than being bored, it was more like being suffocated by the dead feeling at home. However, since he hadn't gotten permission, he had asked his personal maid, Hayasaka Ai, to stay home and help deceive the head maid.
In that cage-like place, one day...
Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly stopped.
"Uh-huh?"
Fujiwara Chika, who bumped into her, covered her nose and looked at her strangely: "What's wrong?"
"Did you hear anything?"
"No? Did you hear any interesting commercials, Kaguya?"
"Not really. If I were to say it, it's more like it's directly in my head... No, it's nothing. It's probably just an illusion."
Kaguya shook her head.
Fujiwara Chika once again studied Kaguya's expression.
"That expression... I can't be wrong, it's the expression of someone wanting to eat a candy apple!"
So Fujiwara Chika confidently asked again: "Kaguya-san, would you like some apple candy?"
"Need not."
"……Oh."
"Compared to this, Fujiwara, are you satisfied?"
Shinomiya Kaguya asked suddenly.
"Huh? What?"
Chika Fujiwara, who was in an emo state and suffered a blow in her heart, was unable to react.
"Because from a while ago, you didn't seem to be interested in any of the stalls here."
Shinomiya Kaguya said: "It's better to say that except for the inexplicable haunted coffee shop you dragged me to at the beginning, you are not interested in other stalls. Could it be that——"
Fujiwara Chika, who was right, smiled foolishly: "Yes, Kaguya-san, you're being overly suspicious. I just don't think the other stalls are particularly interesting...ah, that Japanese-style restaurant seems pretty good."
"The breeze..."
Shinomiya Kaguya looked at the description on the sign outside and found that it was a stall similar to a coffee shop that provided kimono rentals.
Honestly, I'm not that interested.
But instead of continuing to wander aimlessly around the school building, perhaps it would be nice to take a short break.
"Then let's go in and take a look."
Shinomiya Kaguya said as she reached out and opened the door of the shop.
The first thing that hits you is the smell of tatami.
At first glance, the interior furnishings are a bit similar to those of an old-fashioned hot spring hotel. Where there should be walls, there are now strange paper doors.
The two of them walked in one after another.
"Hey, isn't there a waiter here?"
Fujiwara Chika looked at the empty room curiously: "There's not even a table. Isn't that too lazy?"
Before she could finish, the paper doors around her suddenly began to move on their own. Then, as if performing a hat magic trick, dozens of paper doors quickly exchanged positions.
In just a moment, Fujiwara Chika couldn't figure out which door they came in from.
"Wow, it feels just like that Infinite Castle... It's pretty creative for a student stall! Don't you agree, Kaguya-san?"
Fujiwara Chika said this excitedly, but then she saw Shinomiya Kaguya walking forward with lifeless eyes, as if she wanted to open the paper door in front of her.
"According to the location, that should be the window..."
Before Fujiwara Chika could finish her words, she saw that behind the paper door opened by Shinomiya Kaguya was an empty Japanese-style room that was almost exactly the same as the room they were in now.
This made the pink-haired girl's brain freeze a little.
Is there something wrong with my sense of direction?
No, compared to this kind of thing, where did the student who runs this stall go?
At first she thought the students were hiding behind the door and moving the paper door to create a haunted house-like horror feeling, but now it seems that is not the case.
A strange feeling crept into the girl's heart again.
"Hey, Kaguya-san, why don't we go out first?"
Fujiwara Chika whispered: "I always feel like something is wrong here, it's a little scary..."
"Really? Then Fujiwara, please go out first..."
Shinomiya Kaguya said softly, "I feel the atmosphere here is very comfortable. I want to stay a while longer..."
As she spoke, she walked lightly into the next room.
"Waaaaa, wait for me, Kaguya-san!"
Fujiwara Chika hurriedly followed, but before she crossed the threshold, the paper door that Shinomiya Kaguya had opened closed automatically.
When Fujiwara Chika opened the door again, Kaguya Shinomiya was no longer in the room behind the door.
"How could this be? Kaguya-san? Are you still there? This is a bit too much for a joke. Come out quickly, or I'll cry in front of you!"
Fujiwara Chika shouted a few times, but there was no response. Instead, it created an echo-like effect in the empty room, making the space feel even more eerie to the girl.
No, I can't stay here any longer! I have to leave here first!
The girl touched her glasses and encouraged herself.
This is Mr. Exorcist's school. As long as we find him, there will be nothing to be afraid of!
Fujiwara Chika immediately turned around and wanted to leave the room, but when she opened the paper door that should have led to the corridor, there was still an identical Japanese-style room behind the door.
The corridor is gone.
This made the girl's face turn pale.
She seemed trapped here.
Chapter 388: The whereabouts of the Holy Grail.
"I think I understand what you mean."
At the entrance of Sobu High School, Amakusa Shino looked at the breathless Li Mo, her face full of confusion, but she still said firmly: "But I refuse."
"Onegai, if there is no Holy Grail, the Vada system..."
Li Mo hugged the girl's calves which were covered with stockings.
"Ha☆Na☆Se!"
Amakusa Shino faced the surrounding tourists' gazes, asking, "Is this some kind of drama promotion?" and said angrily, "You're a boy! And don't talk about the serious prizes as if they were some weird item!"
She sighed heavily. "That's the highlight of this afternoon's event, after all. I can't give it all to you right away. It's better to just enjoy the event! Compared to the reward, the struggle for it is like the first test of your fingers and tongue before the final 0. It's the real epiphany!"
"Sorry, this is an urgent matter. I will return the Holy Grail to the Student Council after the problem is resolved. It will not affect the afternoon activities."
Li Mo explained vaguely.
"No one's complaining about the front ○, it seems like something is really going on..."
Tiancao Xiao scratched her cheek and looked at Li Mo in embarrassment: "Can't you tell me what happened in detail? If there is really trouble, our student union will not stand idly by."
"The situation is quite complicated and hard to explain."
Li Mo didn't really want the other party to be involved in supernatural events. Although there was no evidence, he felt that the results of conscious and unconscious exposure to supernatural events would be different. In comparison, the former would become more likely than normal people to be involved in supernatural events again in the future. So now Li Mo could only be as vague as possible, "Anyway, as long as you give me the Holy Grail, even licking your toes is no problem!"
"Are you a pervert?"
The girl's eyebrow twitched.
"Usually, it's the teacher who would do something like this."
Li Mo corrected.
"No, no, no, you're out as a teacher when you do something like this to your students! Your teaching license will definitely be revoked!"
"Lick a girl's toes without hesitation, keep girls like little rabbits in the park, make a naked emergency landing from a thousand meters high, punch an innocent girl, and be submissive to unrestrained students. This is what a teacher is!"
"Is your understanding of the teacher a little strange?"
After a moment of distress, Amakusa Shino sighed again.
Then she took out a small paper box the size of a thermos cup from the bag next to her.
"It's impossible to give you all seven Holy Grails. Rather, six have already been distributed. And to prevent students from pretending to be members of the Student Council and cheating, I told them when I gave them to them not to give them away, even if a member of the Student Council asked. I personally keep them. You must solve the riddle hidden in the activity entry and ask me directly to pass the test to obtain them. Since you're in such a hurry, take them first."
"Thanks."
Li Mo took the paper box and said, "As for the remaining six... Oh, I've already got the ones from the shooting booth, so please tell me where the remaining five are. I'll go get them myself now."
"You're quite confident. The remaining five are all placed in rather troublesome places."
Amakusa Shino said proudly: "Even if it's Asakura who is the top student in the grade, there's no way he can get it so easily~"
"That's my business."
Li Mo smiled brightly and didn't take the girl's boasting to heart.
After all, he had no intention of going through the formal process to get the remaining Holy Grails. As long as he knew where they were, he could have the snakes steal the cups and deliver them to him through the school's extensive drainage ditches and water pipes.
"Listen carefully then. There are five cups left. Holy Grail No. 1 is placed at the goldfish catching stall called 'Battle of Red Cliffs.' You need to catch the five designated goldfish: 'Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Kong Ming, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao' to obtain it!"
"A character that didn't appear in Chibi has appeared. The student who set up this stall must have a bad history score."
"Holy Grail No. 2 is at the sugar carving booth 'Van Gogh'. You need to complete the most difficult sugar carving 'Mona Lisa's Smile'!"
"Anyway, apologize to Da Vinci first!"
"Holy Grail No. 3 is at the Mahjong Club's stall, 'Nine Treasures Lotus Lantern.' To obtain it, you need to complete a Super Nervous Breakdown composed of two decks of playing cards within three mistakes."
"What are you doing, Mahjong Club?"
"Holy Grail No. 4 is in the Manga Creation Department. All you need to do is complete the 'Popular Manga Quiz 30 Combos'."
"Huh, this project is surprisingly normal?"
