Kaguya-sama Wants Me to Surrender

Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened. "Cow girl?"

A cow girl was supposed to be simple and cute. This vengeful spirit, however, looked like it could crush bones with a single bite!

"Human, you dare return to face me?"

The vengeful spirit turned its head upon hearing the commotion, a bloodthirsty smile quickly appearing on its face. "You've brought so much food at once. Well done. I'll forgive you for now."

"The fattest human, let's start with you."

Fujiwara Chika looked around curiously. "Who's the fattest human?"

"..."

Everyone looked at Fujiwara Chika in silent agreement.

"Wait a minute." Fujiwara Chika took half a step back. "Why are you all looking at me?"

"Fujiwara-classmate, accept reality," Amamiya Natsuki said mournfully.

"What are you talking about? I'm not fat at all," Fujiwara Chika protested. "I don't even weigh fifty kilograms."

The beast-girl vengeful spirit flicked her tail and pointed at Fujiwara Chika, impatiently saying:

"Stop babbling, it's you. Come here quickly."

Fujiwara Chika's cheeks puffed out like a squirrel stuffed with chestnuts. Who could endure such humiliation?

"Outlaw Zhang San, you're under arrest!"

Chapter 47: Truly Nothing Left

"Human, pretending to be foolish won't work..."

Just as the beast-girl vengeful spirit bared its fangs in a sinister grin, it suddenly found its mouth moving uncontrollably, speaking on its own under some unknown power:

"...Zhang San is here!"

Wait.

What's going on?

Why is my mouth moving by itself?

Who is Zhang San?

The beast-girl vengeful spirit covered its mouth and took a wary step back. "Human, what have you done to me?"

"Actually, we're undercover police officers," Amamiya Natsuki said as he stepped forward. "Three years, then another three years. Today, I've finally caught you, Outlaw Zhang San."

"That's why I said I'm not Zhang... Zhang San is here!"

Seeing Amamiya Natsuki walk towards her without fear, even reaching out to touch her, the beast-girl vengeful spirit became furious, revealing a mouthful of jagged teeth.

"A mere human, don't be so arrogant."

Snap.

Amamiya Natsuki grabbed the beast-girl vengeful spirit's wrist.

The beast-girl vengeful spirit, which had intended to make Amamiya Natsuki taste the 'wrath of the bull-man', suddenly felt its body stiffen, completely losing its ability to move. Only its mouth and eyes could still move.

"Human, what have you done to my body?" The beast-girl vengeful spirit's voice was clearly tinged with panic.

Amamiya Natsuki calmly gripped the beast-girl vengeful spirit's wrist, twisted it behind her back, and said solemnly:

"From now on, your body belongs to me."

"Wait, what do you want to do?" the beast-girl vengeful spirit's voice grew more nervous. "I'm a vengeful spirit! You want to do that to me?"

Amamiya Natsuki paused, then quickly recovered, lowering his voice and replying languidly:

"You know nothing of human kinks."

So what if she's a vengeful spirit?

As long as she's cute, a vengeful spirit is fine too!

"As expected of a big shot."

Kujo Asuka's eyes widened in disbelief.

She was hiding in a corner, trembling, while the real big shot was already bullying vengeful spirits. Choosing to cling to him was definitely the right decision!

Fujiwara Chika stomped forward, her cheeks puffed up like an inflated pufferfish, and indignantly questioned:

"Why did you say I was fat just now?"

Girls, as a species, are always very concerned about their weight, just as boys are concerned about their... length. Fujiwara Chika was no exception.

The beast-girl vengeful spirit's eyes darted to Fujiwara Chika's chest. Her body was 100% submissive, but her mouth could still spew insults.

"Human, isn't that fat on your chest useless?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Fujiwara and subconsciously nodded in agreement.

He had seen it firsthand just now; there was indeed a lot of useless fat.

Seeing Amamiya Natsuki actually nod, the shadow of Fujiwara Chika's bangs obscured her eyes. Her voice turned gentle, her smile sweet, and she tilted her head to look at him.

"Natsuki-classmate, did you just nod?"

"That's right, I nodded."

Amamiya Natsuki admitted frankly, showing no fear.

The beast-girl vengeful spirit had terrible emotional intelligence. Calling that "plump" was wrong, it was "curvy." He should have used more tactful words at a time like this.

"What I meant was, Fujiwara-classmate has a fantastic figure. Standing with other girls, she's like a firefly in the dark, dazzling. Kaguya-classmate and the other two combined don't even compare to you."

"Stare—"

A cold gaze suddenly fell on his back, as if trying to freeze him solid.

Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her arms, her pretty face expressionless. She parted her pink lips, her voice echoing with the darkness:

"Judging a girl by her figure, Amamiya-classmate, you really are a shallow man."

"Congratulations, you've discovered a universally rational truth."

In this world, there wasn't a man who wasn't shallow.

The group's attention returned to the vengeful spirit.

"Excuse me... Miss Cow." Amamiya Natsuki gave her a rather fitting name. "I heard you can create food out of thin air?"

"Despicable human, release me at once!" The beast-girl vengeful spirit's body remained still, but her mouth was defiant. "I will fight you for three hundred rounds!"

"I accept."

Amamiya Natsuki readily agreed and released his grip.

"Eh?" The beast-girl vengeful spirit froze. "This human actually agreed?"

Discovering she could move again, the beast-girl vengeful spirit rejoiced and threw a punch.

Snap.

Amamiya Natsuki grabbed her wrist again, triggering the 100% Capture effect. "You've been caught again. Cooperate now, and resistance will be met with severe punishment. You'll rot in jail."

"Despicable human, you must have done something to me!" The beast-girl vengeful spirit tried to resist, but unfortunately, apart from her eyes and mouth, the rest of her body lost its mobility again. "Don't think you'll get any food from me!"

"So you can actually conjure food?"

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze fell upon the cow-like vengeful spirit. As he concentrated, a prompt quickly appeared before his eyes.

[Through careful observation, you have successfully discovered Miss Cow's secret and decided to play with her tail.]

A tail?

Amamiya Natsuki was quite disappointed.

He reached out and grabbed the vengeful spirit's tail. It felt... numb. Cold and without body heat, much like an ordinary beast-tail prop, but with a better texture. It felt resilient and substantial when he squeezed it.

"W-wait a minute..." The beast-girl vengeful spirit's voice suddenly trembled. "Don't touch me there!"

Amamiya Natsuki ignored her.

A moment later, Takanashi Rikka exclaimed, "The cup! Look at the cup!"

Everyone looked over and saw that in the glass cup on the table, white milk had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"This is unscientific." Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but mutter, "There's no logic to this at all."

Amamiya Natsuki stopped what he was doing. "There are many unscientific things. The question now is whether the milk is drinkable."

Without any testing equipment, the only way to know if it was safe to drink was to use a human subject.

"Kujo-classmate..."

Shinomiya Kaguya's gaze shifted, and she looked calmly at the girl with the braided hair.

Having received an elite education from the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Kaguya had no psychological burden about using those around her. She certainly wouldn't drink milk of unknown origin. Amamiya Natsuki and Fujiwara Chika were important companions, so she naturally wouldn't let them take the risk.

Before she could finish speaking, Fujiwara Chika suddenly stepped forward, her voice firm.

"I'll drink it."

Without giving Shinomiya Kaguya a chance to stop her, the silly girl chugged the milk down and then put down the cup, letting out a satisfied sigh. "...Another cup."

"..."

As a precaution, everyone waited cautiously for a few minutes. Fujiwara Chika was still lively and energetic, which finally put their minds at ease.

"The milk tastes sweet, with no strange fishy smell, pretty much like Meiji Milk," Fujiwara Chika gave a thumbs-up. "My stomach feels very comfortable after drinking it. Highly recommended."

"You humans are going too far!" The beast-girl vengeful spirit felt a sense of dread and quickly warned them.

Amamiya Natsuki grabbed her tail again. "Miss Cow, if it hurts, tell me, and I'll be gentler."

"Don't touch my tail!"

"That's something I can't do."

"There's nothing left..." The beast-girl vengeful spirit's eyes had become moist at some point, and her voice trembled. "I haven't eaten in so long, there's really not a drop left..."

"There's none left, not a single drop... hurry up and let go of my tail!"

The beast-girl vengeful spirit's voice trembled slightly, her anger exploding. She desperately wanted to turn around and bite off the head of the man behind her, but she couldn't.

Under the "100% Capture" status, her body belonged to Amamiya Natsuki behind her.

Let alone playing with her tail, even if he practiced writing characters on her body, she wouldn't be able to resist.

"Eh, it's all gone so quickly?"

Fujiwara Chika wiped the liquid from the corner of her lips, her tone disappointed. "So weak."

"I haven't eaten anything in so long, how could I possibly squeeze anything out!" The beast-girl vengeful spirit's eyes glared fiercely, flashing with a scarlet light as they fell upon Takanashi Rikka. "Push that girl with the eye patch over here, let me eat her!"

"If you satisfy my request, I can conjure up food!"

It's her, it's definitely her.

She actually brought several humans back to ambush me. Betrayers will never be forgiven!

This cow-girl vengeful spirit's hatred for Rikka ranked second, only below Amamiya Natsuki.

Takanashi Rikka jumped in fright and quickly hid behind Fujiwara Chika, timidly looking at Shinomiya Kaguya. An animal instinct deep within told her that the incredibly beautiful, long-black-haired girl in front of her was quite terrifying, and she might actually hand her over to the vengeful spirit.

Shinomiya Kaguya's expression was cool and composed, as if she hadn't noticed Takanashi Rikka's gaze at all. She crossed her left arm over her chest, gently cupped her chin with her right hand, and looked directly at the vengeful spirit.

"As long as there's food, you can create food?"

"That's right." The beast-girl vengeful spirit revealed a cruel smile. "Hurry up and push that girl out."

"Impossible." Shinomiya Kaguya replied calmly. "However, we can provide you with other food."

"Don't lie to a vengeful spirit, how could you possibly have food?"

"..."
