Kaguya-sama Wants Me to Surrender

What's the point of just one Guardian Spirit slot? Why not just reward me with Saber directly!

"Guardian Spirit..." Amamiya Natsuki carefully read the introduction to the Guardian Spirit and couldn't help but complain in his mind, "Isn't this thing just a Stand from JoJo?"

King Crimson, The World, Golden Requiem... It's obvious that the Guardian Spirits won't be that powerful.

After a few seconds of thought, Amamiya Natsuki already had the best candidate for a Guardian Spirit in mind.

He silently turned his head. Fujiwara Chika was happily chatting with her friends. As a naturally airheaded girl with a big heart, Fujiwara Chika had already put everything in the game out of her mind.

"What a shame."

Amamiya Natsuki sighed helplessly.

The best Guardian Spirit was clearly the ribbon girl in front of him, but unfortunately, humans didn't meet the requirements.

Once the Anti-Pornography and Black Market Crackdown Unit splits up, it's nothing.

"Hm?"

Sensing Amamiya Natsuki's gaze, Fujiwara Chika tilted her head and looked over.

The next moment.

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly felt a slight movement in his little finger.

It was clear that the effect of the red string also worked in the real world.

He looked up. Fujiwara Chika quietly raised her right hand to her face, making a scissor gesture:

"Ehehe~"

What's with the ehehe! Has Barbatos's curse spread to the multiverse!

One day passed in a flash.

Saving the Fog Spirit Overlord Miojiu Lingjiu

In a blink of an eye, it was time to leave school.

The weather had turned from sunny to overcast at some point, and it looked like it was about to rain.

Shinomiya Kaguya walked out of the school and approached a black luxury car.

"It's going to rain."

The blonde girl, sucking on a lollipop, opened the car door. After Shinomiya Kaguya got in, the blonde girl walked around to the other car door, got in, and sat next to Kaguya.

The driver was a white-haired uncle with decades of driving experience and no accidents, a true veteran driver.

"Don't go back to the villa yet," Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly said, her voice clear and composed. "I want to go somewhere."

The driver uncle was slightly stunned. He turned his head and looked at the blonde girl.

With a soft "pop,"

The blonde girl took the lollipop out of her mouth, her cherry-blossom-delicate lips now glistening with moisture. She tilted her head curiously.

"Where does Young Lady want to go? To the mall to buy clothes?"

"I know a very good lingerie store, and I highly recommend one of their Winning Underwear."

"What is lingerie, anyway?" Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but retort. "Why would I buy something like that?"

The blonde girl said matter-of-factly:

"After Young Lady finishes reading The Manual for Raising a Loyal Dog Boyfriend, you want to practice what you've learned to turn the boy you like into a loyal dog. I completely understand that feeling."

"I'm only halfway through that book, I haven't finished it at all!"

"And a boy I like..." Shinomiya Kaguya's voice paused for half a second, and she said expressionlessly, "Absolutely not."

"Tsk~"

The blonde girl put the lollipop back in her mouth. "Young Lady, tsundere is out of fashion."

Shinomiya Kaguya turned her face away. It had started raining outside the car window, creating a misty drizzle.

"In short... I want to go and see."

Meanwhile.

Amamiya Natsuki was on his way home when he ran into Miko and her bestie, Yurikawa Hana.

"Good afternoon, Natsuki-classmate."

Yurikawa Hana greeted him with a blush. The incident with the button the other afternoon still had an effect. After realizing what had happened, Yurikawa Hana became more and more embarrassed, and now she blushed whenever she saw Amamiya Natsuki.

I didn't think about it at the time... crawling under the bed in such a shameful pose to find a button, my panties must have been completely seen!

"Good afternoon," Amamiya Natsuki greeted them and walked over to the two girls. "Why do you only have one umbrella?"

Miko still had dark circles under her eyes. Her lethargic expression made her look like a salted fish. She said weakly, "Hana forgot to bring her umbrella when she left this morning."

"I was busy reading my horoscope this morning, so I accidentally forgot," Yurikawa Hana patted her chest. "Don't worry, Miko, I definitely won't forget next time."

Amamiya Natsuki muttered to himself from the side:

"People who usually say that usually forget it next time."

Yurikawa Hana puffed out her cheeks. "Natsuki-classmate, you're too mean."

"..."

Chatting as they walked, they soon arrived at Miko's house. Yurikawa Hana waved goodbye without coming in to study. She borrowed Miko's umbrella and went home.

Amamiya Natsuki held the umbrella over Miko's head and looked at his busty childhood sweetheart with a serious expression.

"Miko, I need your help to train."

Yotsuya Miko: "???"

Chapter 58: A Little Story After the Rain with a Childhood Sweetheart

"Idiot Natsuki, what did you just say?"

Yotsuya Miko tilted her head in confusion.

Amamiya Natsuki sighed.

"Actually, this morning, I was chosen by that game again..."

"Eh?" Yotsuya Miko was startled, a look of worry appearing on her pretty face. She reached out to check Amamiya Natsuki's body. "Are you hurt?"

"No."

Amamiya Natsuki shook his head and briefly explained the game.

"So many things happened..." Yotsuya Miko bit her lower lip. Since she wasn't a player, she couldn't help even if she wanted to. "What did you mean by training just now?"

"The mall refreshed an interesting ability today," Amamiya Natsuki said. "I don't want to work hard anymore."

Yotsuya Miko squinted. "...That doesn't sound proper."

[Skill: I Don't Want to Work Hard Anymore] [Price: 50 Game Coins] [Item Attributes: This skill is designed for players who don't want to work hard. You can get stronger just by lying down. Simply lie on the ground and let others step on you to absorb the trampling energy and convert it into special energy to improve your physical fitness.] [Note: Rich Loli, I Don't Want to Work Hard Anymore!]

When Amamiya Natsuki woke up this morning, he habitually checked the game mall. The high-level items had been refreshed.

He thought he would only get permanent stat boosts, but he didn't expect skills too.

Amamiya Natsuki didn't pay much attention when he saw it this morning. He had used up most of his game coins these past few days and was short on cash, unable to afford it.

Who knew he would be pulled into the game again this morning and become rich overnight after clearing it.

So, he was tempted.

Who wouldn't be tempted by a skill that allows you to get stronger just by lying down, even to the point of reaching the human limit?

Amamiya Natsuki is an only child and doesn't have a sister, nor does he know any Rich Lolis, but it's okay. He's a man with a childhood sweetheart.

"Lying down and being stepped on to get stronger..." Yotsuya Miko crossed her arms and couldn't help but complain, "That's too weird."

Amamiya Natsuki held up the umbrella. "Just think of it as a back massage."

"Even if you say that..." Yotsuya Miko hesitated. "It still feels really strange."

Amamiya Natsuki was helpless. "In middle school, you've stepped on my back before."

"I was just curious back then," Yotsuya Miko's pretty face flushed slightly. She let out a soft sigh and agreed, "I got it... Let's go home first."

During the summer of their second year of middle school, they were watching TV at home and saw a scene about back-stepping. Out of curiosity, they tried it once, but it felt uncomfortable, so they didn't try it again.

It wasn't the first time, so it wouldn't hurt to do it again.

After all, they were childhood sweethearts. Of course, she wanted Amamiya Natsuki to be safe. If she couldn't help in the game, she couldn't just stand by in reality.

"I'm home."

Yotsuya Miko unlocked the door with her key and pushed it open, stepping into the entrance.

"Welcome home."

A faint, ethereal voice came from the living room. Miko's Dad was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He looked up when he heard the greeting.

Amamiya Natsuki and Yotsuya Miko pretended not to see him.

"Your shoulders are all wet," Yotsuya Miko said, tucking a strand of hair that had fallen by her ear behind it. She then bent down to change her shoes. "And your socks are a bit damp and uncomfortable too."

"It's normal for your shoulders to get wet when two people share an umbrella," Amamiya Natsuki said. "You should take a bath first, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Okay," Yotsuya Miko agreed and walked to the refrigerator. "You go wait in the room first..."

As she opened the refrigerator, a rotten human head, a vengeful spirit, appeared on the top shelf. Its dead fish eyes stared straight at Yotsuya Miko.

Yotsuya Miko bit her lower lip. "Natsuki, come get any drink you want."

Amamiya Natsuki walked over and took a look. Well, well, it was an old acquaintance.

For some reason, this kind of vengeful spirit liked to stay in the refrigerator, and Amamiya Natsuki saw it every morning when he woke up.

"I'll have black tea."

Amamiya Natsuki, without changing his expression, reached out to the headless vengeful spirit and silently activated his Evil Spirit Repellent aura.

The headless vengeful spirit in the refrigerator immediately screamed, then quickly turned into black smoke and dissipated.

Taking out a can of green tea, Amamiya Natsuki walked upstairs, "You can take a bath."

Yotsuya Miko quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, grabbed the bathroom doorknob, and prepared to go in for a bath.

The next moment.

The black-haired girl's golden eyes suddenly widened, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Inside the bathroom.

A terrifying evil spirit that occupied almost the entire bathroom was right behind the door. Its face was covered in dozens of insect-like scarlet compound eyes, and they met Yotsuya Miko's gaze.

"You... can see me?"

A cold, hollow voice reached her ears.

Yotsuya Miko's body trembled slightly, and her eyes quickly filled with a misty haze, tears almost falling.

This is too much.

It's too much!

She had just dealt with the headless vengeful spirit in the refrigerator, and just when she was most relaxed, it suddenly attacked her from behind the door. Yotsuya Miko almost screamed.

"You can see me?"

The compound-eyed evil spirit slowly pressed forward, dozens of eyes staring intently at Yotsuya Miko. The evil and sinister aura made the mist in Yotsuya Miko's eyes grow thicker.

"Natsuki--"
