Kaguya-sama Wants Me to Surrender

"You have entered the Game Club."

"Please complete and win any game duel."

Amamiya Natsuki surveyed the surroundings with a calm expression.

The Game Club wasn't large, but it had everything one could need. There was a claw machine, a pachinko machine, and even a mahjong machine, making it quite well-equipped.

A foul smell of blood permeated the air. Besides the three who had just entered, there were several other unlucky players, their faces pale and expressions grim. They huddled in a corner, trembling like helpless young girls about to be violated.

In the center of the Game Club stood a blonde girl in a school uniform. Bloodstains marred the uniform, and her mouth seemed to have been cut into two bloody, torn wounds, like a Kuchisake-onna. Without a doubt, she was the vengeful spirit haunting the Game Club.

"You three humans dare to walk in willingly?"

The vengeful spirit girl tilted her head, looking at them with confusion.

Amamiya Natsuki took a half-step forward, calmly stating:

"We were bored, so we came to play a game."

Hearing Amamiya Natsuki's words, the unlucky players huddled in the corner looked over in shock.

"Is that guy an idiot?"

"He must be."

"He has no idea how terrifying this game is."

"What a shame, he's so good-looking, yet he's a complete fool."

"..."

"Very well, I admire your courage." The vengeful spirit girl licked her lips, excitement flashing in her eyes, and began to explain the game rules. "Cards, dice, Ludo, mahjong... You can choose any game in the Game Club to play with me. If you win, you can leave. If you lose, you'll leave your most precious heart behind."

"Wait a moment." Amamiya Natsuki spoke up.

"What, you want to go back on your word?"

The vengeful spirit girl frowned.

"Who told you my most precious thing was my heart?"

"Then what is it?"

Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at the expressionless cat-eared girl. "My most precious thing... is of course, Kaguya-classmate."

Chapter 19: I and the Evils of Gambling and Drugs Are Incompatible

"...Human, what did you say?"

The vengeful spirit girl tilted her head, her expression surprised.

Amamiya Natsuki turned to the cat-eared girl beside him, his tone sincere and his gaze earnest:

"From the moment I first saw Kaguya-classmate, I was completely captivated, unable to extricate myself."

"At this very moment, I want to declare loudly—"

"Kaguya-classmate is my most precious treasure, far more important than my heart."

"..."

Everyone in the Game Club, whether the unlucky players or the vengeful spirit, looked towards Shinomiya Kaguya.

The black-haired, long-haired, cat-eared beautiful girl maintained a cool and composed demeanor, her face devoid of any emotional change.

"Kaguya-chan, Amamiya-classmate confessed to you!"

Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened, and she exclaimed softly.

The cat ears on Shinomiya Kaguya's head twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but look at her friend.

Think with that disgusting fat on your chest, how could this be a confession? He's clearly trying to use me as a tool!

However... for all these years since childhood, let alone someone confessing to her face, she hadn't even received a single love letter in her shoe locker.

At this moment, suddenly being 'confessed' to by a boy in person, even knowing it was an act, Shinomiya Kaguya's feelings were still somewhat complicated.

Her first 'confession,' and it turned out he just wanted to use her as a tool.

So angry!

"Heh heh."

The vengeful spirit girl chuckled, her cut mouth appearing even more ferocious and terrifying. Her gaze fell on Kaguya, and she said hoarsely, "Did you hear what he just said? Are you willing to become this boy's gamble?"

As a genius girl, Shinomiya Kaguya was remarkably calm. She replied, "I am willing."

The vengeful spirit girl was slightly taken aback. She raised her right hand, her fingernails sharp and still bearing fresh blood, her expression sinister. "If he loses the game, I will take your heart."

Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her arms. "I believe in Amamiya-classmate."

"Tsk~"

The vengeful spirit girl snorted, clearly displeased, and a malicious smile spread across her face. "In that case, the two of you had better not regret this later."

The few unlucky players in the corner stared, dumbfounded.

"Hey, hey, you can even play like this?"

"Using a girl as a shield, how shameless!"

"Damn it, we're already in a horror game, and I still have to eat dog food!"

"They have no idea how terrifying this game is. They won't even be able to cry later."

"..."

"Enough idle chatter," the Vengeful Spirit Girl said impatiently. "I'll give you one minute to choose a game. Then, we'll settle it in one round. If you win, you can leave. If you lose, I'll rip out that girl's heart."

"I don't need a minute," Amamiya Natsuki said casually, his gaze sweeping across the activity room. "Let's play dice. Whoever rolls higher wins."

The few players in the corner were immediately shocked.

"Is that guy an idiot?"

"Even if they played a fighting game, at least they could compete based on experience and skill. What's the point of comparing dice rolls? That's purely a game of luck."

"What terrible luck!"

"Damn, such a cute girl, why did she have to run into a scumbag!"

"..."

"Very well, I admire your courage," the Vengeful Spirit Girl said with a smile, crossing her arms. She gestured towards the mahjong table with her gaze. "The dice are here. You can go first."

"I'll go first."

Amamiya Natsuki didn't decline. He took two steps forward, approaching the Vengeful Spirit Girl. He picked up two dice from the mahjong table and casually tossed them onto the table under everyone's watchful eyes.

"A four, and the other is... a five!"

"That makes nine points. Not bad luck."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the Vengeful Spirit Girl. "Your turn."

The Vengeful Spirit Girl picked up the dice and threw them onto the table. The two dice rolled rapidly.

One of them stopped quickly, showing a four.

Seeing this, several players breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a four again. For the vengeful spirit to win, she needs a six. Her chances of losing are one in three."

All eyes fell on the second die, including Shinomiya Kaguya and Fujiwara Chika.

The rolling gradually slowed.

The second die was about to stop, and it clearly showed a three.

"Kaguya-chan, we won!" Fujiwara Chika shouted happily.

The next moment.

Bang!

The Vengeful Spirit Girl suddenly slammed the table. The almost-stopped dice tumbled, and the number directly changed to a six.

"Oh my, it looks like I win now."

The Vengeful Spirit Girl grinned, her smile twisted and terrifying.

"You cheated!" Fujiwara Chika said angrily. "We won fair and square!"

"I never said cheating wasn't allowed during a game," the Vengeful Spirit Girl licked her lips, her gaze falling on Kaguya, her eyes flashing crimson. "A bet is a bet. Now, take out her heart."

Amamiya Natsuki said expressionlessly:

"Cheating in a game? Are you a sore loser?"

"Human, what are you saying?" the Vengeful Spirit Girl snapped her head around. "Believe it or not, I'll tear you to shreds!"

Amamiya Natsuki kicked the table over. "If you can't play fair, then don't play."

"Human, you're dead!"

The Vengeful Spirit Girl was instantly enraged, tears of blood welling up in the corners of her eyes as she lunged at Amamiya Natsuki.

Amamiya Natsuki quickly retreated two steps, hiding behind Kaguya. He then turned his head and shouted:

"Dean, someone's bullying the cat!"

"..."

Bang!

The room door was violently kicked open.

The tall, taciturn Dean, shrouded in black mist, walked in.

The Vengeful Spirit Girl shivered, like a mouse seeing a cat, and retreated in panic.

"Look here, sir."

Amamiya Natsuki pointed at Kaguya's shoulder, "The bloodstains on you haven't even dried yet. She's a cat abuser."

"You're spouting nonsense, I didn't!"

The Vengeful Spirit Girl was so angry that tears of blood welled up in the corners of her eyes.

The bloodstains were clearly from you touching her just now, and you're framing the vengeful spirit? Are you even human?!

"Not only does she bully cats, but she also gambles in the activity room," Amamiya Natsuki said righteously.

"I'll kill you!"

The Vengeful Spirit Girl immediately bristled and lunged forward aggressively.

The Dean silently extended his right hand, grabbed the Vengeful Spirit Girl's head, and crushed it. His voice was low, "Gambling is forbidden on campus. This must be severely punished."

"..."

At the same time.

A prompt sounded in the minds of all the players present.

[Critical data lost, scene has collapsed]
[Congratulations, Player, you have successfully passed this game scene]

"We actually passed?"

Several players hiding in the corner were first bewildered, then overjoyed.

They hadn't done anything and had passed just by lying down. There was no greater joy in this world.

"All done," Amamiya Natsuki said, hands in his pockets, looking at the cat-eared girl beside him. He praised, "Classmate Kaguya, forever the GOAT."

Fujiwara Chika nodded and echoed, "Classmate Kaguya, forever the GOAT."
