Fujiwara Chika widened her eyes. "Cow girl?"
A cow girl was supposed to be the gentle, adorable type. The vengeful spirit in front of her looked like she could crush bones with a single bite!
"Human, you actually dared to come back and face me?"
The vengeful spirit turned toward the sound. A bloodthirsty smile quickly spread across her face. "You brought back so much food at once. Well done. I'll forgive you for now."
"Let's start with the fattest human."
Fujiwara Chika looked around curiously. "Who's the fattest person?"
"..."
Everyone exchanged glances and looked at Fujiwara Chika.
"Wait." Fujiwara Chika took half a step back. "Why are you all looking at me?"
"Fujiwara, accept reality," Amamiya Natsuki said wistfully.
"What? I'm not fat at all," Fujiwara Chika protested. "I don't even weigh fifty kilograms."
The beast-girl vengeful spirit swished her tail, pointed at Fujiwara Chika, and impatiently said:
"Enough chatter. You, come here. Now."
Fujiwara Chika's cheeks puffed up like a gray squirrel with its mouth stuffed full of chestnuts. Who could endure such humiliation?
"Outlaw Zhang San, you're under arrest!"
The Vengeful Spirit's Power
"Human, playing dumb won't help you..."
A vicious grin had just appeared on the beast-girl vengeful spirit's face when she realized her mouth had stopped obeying her. Under the influence of some unknown force, it started speaking on its own:
"...Zhang San is here!"
Wait.
What was going on?
Why was her mouth moving by itself?
And who was Zhang San?
The beast-girl vengeful spirit covered her mouth and warily stepped back. "Humans, what did you do to me?"
"Actually, we're undercover police officers." Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward as he spoke. "Three years, then another three years. We've finally caught you today, Outlaw Zhang San."
"So I'm not Zhang... Zhang San is here!"
Seeing Amamiya Natsuki approach without the slightest fear—and even reach out as if to touch her—the beast-girl vengeful spirit flew into a rage, baring her serrated teeth.
"You puny humans, don't get too cocky."
Smack.
Amamiya Natsuki grabbed the beast-girl vengeful spirit by the wrist.
The vengeful spirit had been about to let Amamiya Natsuki experience her "Minotaur's Wrath," but suddenly her body stiffened. She lost the ability to move, and all she could control were her mouth and eyes.
"Humans, what did you do to my body?" A trace of panic crept into the beast-girl vengeful spirit's voice.
Amamiya Natsuki calmly held her wrist and twisted her arm behind her back. He said solemnly:
"From now on, your body belongs to me."
"Wait, what are you going to do?" The beast-girl vengeful spirit sounded even more nervous. "I'm a vengeful spirit! You're actually going to do that kind of thing to me?"
Amamiya Natsuki froze, then quickly realized what she meant. Lowering his voice, he replied ominously:
"You know nothing about human kinks."
So what if she was a vengeful spirit?
As long as she was cute, being a vengeful spirit was no problem!
"So he really is a big shot."
Kujo Asuka's eyes widened as she exclaimed in disbelief.
She was still cowering in a corner, trembling, while the real big shot was already bullying a vengeful spirit. Choosing to cling to him had definitely been the right call!
Fujiwara Chika hurried forward, her cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish. She demanded angrily:
"Why did you call me fat just now?"
Girls were always very sensitive about their weight, just as boys cared about their size. Fujiwara Chika was no exception.
The beast-girl vengeful spirit's eyes shifted slightly toward Fujiwara Chika's chest. Her body was completely at Amamiya Natsuki's mercy, but her mouth could still spout insults:
"Human, isn't that just useless fat on your chest?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Fujiwara and unconsciously nodded in agreement.
He had seen it with his own eyes just now. There really was a lot of useless fat.
When Fujiwara Chika saw Amamiya Natsuki actually nod, the shadows beneath her bangs covered her eyes. Her voice turned gentle, her smile sweet, and she tilted her head toward him.
"Natsuki, you seemed to nod just now?"
"That's right. I nodded."
Amamiya Natsuki admitted it calmly, completely unafraid.
The beast-girl vengeful spirit had terrible social skills. What was fat about this? She was clearly curvy. He should have given a tactful answer at a time like this.
"What I meant was that Fujiwara has a wonderful figure. When she stands with other girls, she shines like a firefly in the night. Even Kaguya and the other two together can't compare to you."
"Stare—"
A chilly gaze suddenly landed on his back, as if it could freeze him solid.
Shinomiya Kaguya folded her arms across her chest. Her pretty face was expressionless as she parted her pink lips, her voice carrying the darkness of night:
"Judging a girl by her figure, Amamiya, what a shallow man you are."
"Congratulations. You've discovered a universally acknowledged truth."
There wasn't a man in the world who wasn't shallow.
Everyone's attention returned to the vengeful spirit.
"Miss Cow..." Amamiya Natsuki gave her a rather fitting name. "I heard you can conjure food out of thin air?"
"Despicable human, let go of me!" The beast-girl vengeful spirit's body was obedient, but her mouth was defiant. "I'll fight you for three hundred rounds!"
"I accept."
Amamiya Natsuki agreed at once and let go of her hand.
"Huh?" The beast-girl vengeful spirit stared blankly. "This human actually accepted?"
As soon as she realized she could move again, the beast-girl vengeful spirit was overjoyed and swung her fist at him.
Smack.
Amamiya Natsuki grabbed her wrist again, triggering the 100% Capture effect. "You've been caught again. Now cooperate quietly. Resist and you'll get a harsher sentence; refuse to confess and you'll rot in prison."
"Despicable humans, you must have done something to me!" The beast-girl vengeful spirit tried to fight back, but once again, everything except her eyes and mouth was immobilized. "Don't think you'll get any food out of me!"
"So you really can conjure food?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked at the cow vengeful spirit. As he focused, a prompt soon appeared before his eyes.
[After careful observation, you successfully discovered Miss Cow's secret and decided to play with her tail.]
Why the tail?
Amamiya Natsuki was quite disappointed.
He reached out and grabbed the vengeful spirit's tail. It... didn't feel like much. It was cold, with no body heat at all, much like an ordinary animal-tail prop, but it felt better and was pleasantly firm and substantial.
"W-wait..." The beast-girl vengeful spirit's voice suddenly trembled. "Don't touch me there!"
Amamiya Natsuki paid her no mind.
Before long, Takanashi Rikka cried out, "The glass! Look at that glass!"
Everyone turned to look. White milk suddenly appeared out of thin air in the glass on the table.
"This isn't scientific." Shinomiya Kaguya's eye twitched, and she couldn't help commenting, "It makes no sense at all."
Amamiya Natsuki stopped what he was doing. "There are too many unscientific things in the world. The important question is whether the milk is safe to drink."
They had no testing equipment, so the only way to find out whether it was safe to drink was to use someone as a test subject.
"Kujo..."
Shinomiya Kaguya shifted her gaze and calmly looked at the braided girl.
Having received an elite education as a member of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Kaguya had no qualms about using the people around her. She certainly wouldn't drink milk of unknown origin, and Amamiya Natsuki and Fujiwara Chika were important friends, so naturally she wouldn't let them put themselves at risk either.
Before she could finish, Fujiwara Chika suddenly stepped forward and said firmly:
"I'll drink it."
qun950180909
Before Shinomiya Kaguya could stop her, the fool gulped down all the milk. Then she put the glass down and let out a satisfied breath. "...Another glass."
"..."
To be safe, everyone waited cautiously for several minutes. Fujiwara Chika was still lively and full of energy, so they finally began to relax.
"The milk tastes sweet, with no strange, fishy smell. It tastes a lot like Meiji Milk." Fujiwara Chika gave a thumbs-up. "My stomach feels great after drinking it. Five stars."
"You humans are going too far!" The beast-girl vengeful spirit sensed trouble and hurriedly warned them.
Amamiya Natsuki grabbed her tail again. "Miss Cow, tell me if it hurts. I'll be gentle."
"Don't touch my tail!"
"I can't promise that."
"There's no more..." The beast-girl vengeful spirit's eyes had grown moist, and her voice trembled. "I haven't eaten in ages. There really isn't a single drop left..."
"There's no more, not a single drop... 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 the man behind her head off, but she couldn't.
Under the 100% Capture effect, her body already belonged to Amamiya Natsuki.
Forget playing with her tail—even if he practiced writing the character "zheng" on her, her body wouldn't resist at all.
"Huh? You're out already?"
Fujiwara Chika wiped the liquid from the corner of her mouth, sounding disappointed. "You're so weak."
"I haven't eaten in ages! How could I possibly squeeze out any more?" The beast-girl vengeful spirit's eyes gleamed with a vicious red light as she glared at Takanashi Rikka. "Push that girl with the eyepatch over here and let me eat her!"
"Grant my request, and I'll be able to make food!"
It was her. She was the one.
She'd brought several humans back to ambush her. There was no forgiving a traitor!
The cow vengeful spirit's hatred for Rikka ranked second, just behind her hatred for Amamiya Natsuki.
Takanashi Rikka jumped in fright and hurriedly hid behind Fujiwara Chika. She timidly glanced at Shinomiya Kaguya. Some deep-seated animal instinct told her that the stunning girl with long black hair in front of her was terrifying. She might actually hand her over to the vengeful spirit.
Shinomiya Kaguya's expression remained cool and composed, as if she hadn't even noticed Takanashi Rikka's gaze. She folded her left arm across her chest, lightly rested her right hand against her chin, and stared directly at the vengeful spirit.
"If you have food, can you make more food?"
"That's right." A cruel smile spread across the beast-girl vengeful spirit's face. "Hurry up and push that girl out here."
"Impossible," Shinomiya Kaguya replied calmly. "But we can provide you with other food."
"Don't lie to a vengeful spirit. How could you possibly have any food?"
"..."
