Kaguya-sama Wants Me to Surrender

Using a girl's tissue for that… what's the difference between that and being a pervert!

"The girl won't need it."

"That's not necessarily true."

Shinomiya Kaguya tilted her head slightly, completely unable to understand. "What exactly are you two talking about?"

"Actually, it's..."

Just as Amamiya Natsuki was about to speak, someone suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

Fujiwara Chika leaned over, her face sporting a bright and cute smile, but for some reason, it suddenly looked a little scary. The girl's breath was warm and sweet. She smiled, "Amiiiya-cuuuun, you can't corrupt Kaguya-chan."

Who's corrupting her?! She's a noble lady with no common sense about daily life, she'll get tricked!

"..."

After a bit more talking, as more classmates arrived, the three of them returned to their respective seats.

As the school bell rang, Amamiya Natsuki forced himself to focus on studying.

The day passed in a flash.

In the afternoon.

Amamiya Natsuki twirled the pencil in his fingers, looking out at the school grounds through the window, and sighed silently.

The afternoon sun was quite bright.

A group of students having P.E. were playing soccer on the field, freely sweating and enjoying their camaraderie.

Unfortunately, what they couldn't see was a giant ghost, resembling a colossal toad, sitting in front of the soccer goal, its mouth open, catching the ball non-stop. Its body occasionally phased through the goalkeeper.

It was obvious that these wandering evil spirits were completely unfazed by sunlight.

In fact, three wandering evil spirits had already appeared in the classroom during just one day, which was a headache.

"School's out."

Amamiya Natsuki withdrew his gaze, preparing to go home.

"Amamiya-kun, where are you going?"

Fujiwara Chika's voice sounded in his ear. This airhead was quite oblivious, and her voice sounded as crisp and bright as ever.

"Home."

Amamiya Natsuki replied while packing his stationery into his bag.

"Eh? Aren't you joining a club?"

"I haven't joined any clubs."

"That's not good." Fujiwara Chika put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and brought her face closer. The girl's pink eyes were large and bright, clearly reflecting others within them. "If you don't join a club in high school, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

"I'm sorry, my life is full of no regrets."

"..."

In contrast.

Kaguya-sama was much calmer.

She picked up her school bag and walked out with a composed expression. However, just as she reached the school gate, she suddenly encountered a woman covered in infant vengeful spirits. The woman exuded a chilling malice, and the sounds of babies crying and screaming could be heard.

Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face paled slightly, and she involuntarily stopped in her tracks.

"Can... can you see me?"

The female vengeful spirit leaned close to Kaguya, her voice hoarse and low, making one's scalp tingle. The infant spirits clinging to the woman's back seemed to have found a new toy and excitedly crawled onto Shinomiya, moving all over her.

Even Shinomiya Kaguya, who held the title of [Ice Kaguya-hime] at the school, couldn't remain completely unfazed. She could only tightly grip her school bag, bite her lower lip, and a misty haze welled up in her eyes.

[So scary, so scary, so scary, so scary...]

Seeing the teary-eyed girl, Amamiya Natsuki's gaze sharpened, and he strode over.

As the halo of the Evil Spirit Repellent spread, the woman and the infant spirits shrieked simultaneously. They burned like snow encountering sunlight, rapidly disintegrating and fleeing in panic.

"Kaguya-chan, are you okay?"

Fujiwara Chika hurried forward and grabbed Shinomiya Kaguya's arm.

"I'm fine."

Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes were still teary.

"Before you say that, it would be better to wipe away your tears."

"..."

Chapter 23: Miko: Want to come to my room?

"I don't want school to end," Fujiwara Chika said pitifully, clasping her hands in front of her chest. "If we could just keep having classes, then no one would have to part."

Amamiya Natsuki mercilessly retorted, "You'd become the public enemy of the entire school."

Seriously, wanting to stay at school all day? Don't tell me the students wouldn't agree, even the teachers would go on strike!

Fujiwara Chika sighed.

"At least there are more people at school. What am I supposed to do when I'm all alone at home at night?"

"You can wear an eye mask," Shinomiya Kaguya suggested.

Fujiwara Chika looked up at her. "But I can still hear things then."

Amamiya Natsuki's voice was melancholic.

"Wear earplugs."

"Got it," Fujiwara Chika snapped her fingers. "So the idea is to hide under the covers and pretend to be an ostrich. In those manga, blankets are invincible treasures. As long as you hide under the covers, you won't encounter any danger."

Shinomiya Kaguya's lips moved slightly, and a rare, hesitant expression appeared on her face.

"Eh, what did Kaguya-chan want to say?"

Fujiwara Chika asked curiously.

"Actually..." Shinomiya Kaguya pressed her temples. She decided to tell the truth after all. It was better to give a heads-up so there'd be some psychological preparation. "Last night when I was sleeping, I found a ghost hiding in my blanket."

The first day she saw the truth of the world, she encountered a ghost hiding in her blanket. Girl, you could buy a lottery ticket with that luck!

"Eh?!" Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened. "Did Kaguya-chan cry from being scared?"

"Not at all."

Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her arms and quickly denied it.

"But I remember Kaguya-chan was the most afraid of horror movies when she was little..."

"After three days, one should look at someone with new eyes," Shinomiya Kaguya bit her rosy lips. "I've grown up now. Don't look at me with the same eyes you used when I was a child."

"Is that so?"

Fujiwara Chika suddenly took two steps back, hiding beside Amamiya Natsuki and quietly tugging on his sleeve.

Amamiya Natsuki understood and retreated with Fujiwara Chika.

Seeing their actions, the Ice Sculpture Girl's eyes widened. Her neck felt stiff, and she couldn't help but want to turn around and look behind her.

"Kaguya-chan, calm down," Fujiwara Chika's voice was faint. "Definitely don't turn your head to look behind you."

"..."

Shinomiya Kaguya's silky, waist-length black hair trembled slightly. Her eyelashes fluttered uncontrollably as she held her breath and quickly walked towards Amamiya Natsuki and the other girl.

"Hahaha," Fujiwara Chika, the source of all evil, put her hands on her hips and proudly lifted her chin. "There's actually nothing behind you. Kaguya-chan is really scared, isn't she."

Shinomiya Kaguya placed her right hand on her chest and silently turned to look behind her.

There was only an empty classroom behind her. Indeed, there was nothing there.

Fujiwara Chika had no idea disaster was imminent.

"No wonder Kaguya-chan has dark circles under her eyes. You probably didn't sleep all night yesterday, did you?"

"..."

Shinomiya Kaguya took a deep breath. Black mist rose faintly from her body, and a scarlet glint flashed in her wine-red eyes. A smile actually appeared on her face.

"Fujiwara-san, you're very cute."

So scary.

Amamiya Natsuki silently retreated, putting distance between himself and Fujiwara Chika.

Kaguya-san, when she smiled, was actually more terrifying than the cold-faced girl.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Fujiwara Chika quickly crouched down, covering her head. Her speed in admitting defeat was astonishing.

"I wish I could stay over at Amamiya-kun's house."

Fujiwara Chika looked at them pitifully, like a stray puppy longing for a kind person to adopt it.

"Wuuugh~" Fujiwara Chika put on a dejected expression. "They're ignoring me, meow."

Naturally, staying together was just a joke. Both girls were young ladies with excellent upbringing, and staying out overnight was out of the question.

"Ah, I've got it," Fujiwara Chika's eyes suddenly lit up, and her voice rang out clearly. "Kaguya-chan, Amamiya-kun, let's run for the Student Council together!"

"What?"

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

"The election for the new Student Council is about to begin," Fujiwara Chika spread her arms. "If we win the election, we'll have a huge activity room. Then, after school in the afternoon, we can stay in the activity room, have tea and chat, and not be scared anymore."

The Student Council is a practical department, but in your mouth, it's become a retirement department!

"I agree," Shinomiya Kaguya said calmly, carrying her school bag with both hands. "I was planning to run for the Student Council anyway."

Amamiya Natsuki didn't immediately agree. "I'll consider it."

"..."

After their discussion, the three parted ways.

Amamiya Natsuki walked out of the school without changing his expression, under the watchful eyes of two vengeful spirits in security guard uniforms.

Silence all the way.

"I'm home."

Amamiya Natsuki pushed open the door and stepped into the entrance hall. Only the Akita dog wagged its tail and ran over to welcome him.

His parents were busy with work and rarely came home, sometimes not seeing him even a few times a month.

A blonde twin-tailed sister who yelled 'Brother, go die.'

A stepsister who cross-dressed.

A gentle sister kneeling in the entrance hall, wearing only a fruit-patterned apron, calling for her brother to bathe with her…

None of the above existed.

Because if I wrote it, it would get banned.

Amamiya Natsuki walked into the living room and casually opened the refrigerator. Only then did he discover that a rotten human head had appeared in the refrigerator at some point.

He expressionlessly took out a can of cola and slammed the refrigerator shut.

After finishing the cola, it was still early. Amamiya Natsuki pondered for a few seconds, looked at the Akita dog sitting in front of him with a silly grin, picked up the leash, and went out to walk the dog.

Vengeful spirits appeared both day and night, but they were scarier at night. Since that was the case, he would change his dog-walking time to the daytime from now on.

He took the dog for a walk around the nearby park. When he came out, he happened to meet Yotsuya Miko and her bestie, Yurikawa Hana, at the park entrance.

"Good afternoon, Amamiya-kun."

Yurikawa Hana's voice was clear. After waving hello, her gaze fell on the Akita dog, and her eyes lit up, "Ah, what a cute dog! Is it your dog, Amamiya-kun?"
