Kaguya-sama Wants Me to Surrender

"I'm back."

Walking to the refrigerator, he opened it and saw that, just as he expected, another rotten evil spirit head had appeared inside.

This thing probably liked to stay in cold environments, just like Arctic penguins.

"You... you can see me?"

A hollow, mumbling voice came from the evil spirit head.

Amamiya Natsuki, his expression unchanged, said, "I can see you."

"See... you can see me?"

The evil spirit head froze, and suddenly, a scarlet light appeared in its eyes. It lunged out of the refrigerator, opening its mouth to bite.

"I can see you... I can eat you!"

Amamiya Natsuki silently activated his Evil Spirit Repellent aura, purifying and eliminating the head-shaped evil spirit.

The night passed without incident.

The next day.

School.

As soon as Amamiya Natsuki entered the classroom, the Ice Sculpture Girl, Kaguya, walked up to him. She gently bit her lower lip, indicating her intention.

"...After school this afternoon, I have something I'd like to ask you."

Chapter 60: The Big Kaguya Earthbound Spirit

"...After school this afternoon, I have something I'd like to ask you."

Looking at the Kaguya-sama, who was speaking softly and seemed a little embarrassed, Amamiya Natsuki was immediately shocked.

Whoa, whoa, are you really Kaguya-sama?

Whether it's a Blind Box Mission or a Horror Game, you'd rather grit your teeth and bear it alone than ask others for help.

What kind of terrible disaster has happened today to make the proud swan lower her head and seek help from a human!

"I'm free this afternoon." Amamiya Natsuki was extremely curious. "What is it that Kaguya-classmate wants to ask me?"

"..."

Shinomiya Kaguya's expression was cool and calm, and she remained silent.

"Let me guess." Amamiya Natsuki clasped his fingers, his expression serious. "Are the Three-Body Aliens attacking Earth, and is the human world about to be destroyed?"

"That's something for the Prime Minister and the cabinet to consider." Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her arms and couldn't help but retort, "If the Three-Body Aliens really invaded Earth, what could you possibly do to help?"

Amamiya Natsuki pondered for two seconds: "...Surrender and become a collaborator?"

"The shame of humanity."

If aliens invade Earth, you capitalists, every single one of you, will definitely choose to become collaborators!

As long as the price is right, you wouldn't hesitate to sell humanity and Earth as a package deal!

Amamiya Natsuki continued:

"Or is Mount Fuji about to erupt, and the Japanese archipelago is about to sink?"

"You're overthinking it. Even if Mount Fuji erupts, it won't sink the archipelago."

"Last night, I saw a news report on Twitter that hundreds of monkeys escaped from a US laboratory." Amamiya Natsuki lowered his voice. "Is a Biohazard about to break out?"

"Biohazard?"

Shinomiya Kaguya tilted her head slightly, a hint of hesitation appearing on her pretty face, a confusion about an unknown realm.

Amamiya Natsuki was shocked: "You haven't seen Biohazard?"

"No."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki was silent for a few seconds: "Speaking of which, you didn't seem to know about Twitter before either?"

"Mm."

She doesn't know this, and she doesn't know that. Are you a deep-boudoir young lady living on Mars!

"I'm curious." Amamiya Natsuki pressed his fingers to his brow. "Have you never eaten instant noodles?"

"My bento is prepared by the chef and delivered every day." Shinomiya Kaguya's voice was calm. "I have indeed never eaten instant noodles."

As expected.

What kind of sterile environment did this young lady grow up in!

"Instant noodles are convenient and delicious." Amamiya Natsuki said earnestly. "I highly recommend them."

Shinomiya Kaguya was silent for a moment: "...We'll talk about it if there's a chance."

As they spoke, Amamiya Natsuki's little finger suddenly twitched.

Turning her head to look at the classroom door, a girl with a butterfly knot hairpin in her bangs was leaning by the door, a triumphant grin of mischief on her face.

"Ehehe~"

Amamiya Natsuki silently wiggled his fingers in return.

"Kaguya-chan, good morning." Fujiwara Chika walked in with a light step, hands behind her back, like a fawn in the morning forest light, her eyes full of curiosity. "What were you guys talking about? I want to join too."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"I was recommending which flavor of cup noodles is the best."

"You can't say that." Fujiwara Chika's expression quickly turned serious, and she shook her finger lightly, her voice crisp. "There's no 'best' cup noodle, only better ones. Behind every popular cup noodle in the convenience store, there are so many people who love it."

"Let me tell you, I've already collected eighty different flavors of cup noodle boxes." Fujiwara Chika tilted her chin up and snorted proudly. "My goal is to collect ninety-nine cup noodle boxes."

Amamiya Natsuki quipped: "And then summon the Flying Italian Noodle God?"

"Of course, the Cup Noodle God."

"..."

Watching them chat happily, completely forgetting her own existence, Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lower lip with her teeth, her wine-red eyes quietly dimming.

Earth's cancer, just as I thought!

The day's classes passed in a flash.

Nothing happened, except for a few evil spirits wandering in during the break.

At 3:30 PM, the dismissal bell rang on time.

Amamiya Natsuki packed his schoolbag and felt a gaze fall upon him.

He looked up and saw the Ice Sculpture Girl staring at him with her profile.

"Don't worry, I won't leave."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly, indicating he understood.

A moment later, after the other students had left the classroom, Shinomiya Kaguya stood up and came over:

"We can go."

Amamiya Natsuki followed the Young Lady downstairs, all the way to the school gate.

Shinomiya Kaguya walked straight towards a black luxury car parked in the corner and said in a low voice, "Get in."

Amamiya Natsuki quipped:

"You're not planning to sell me, are you?"

"Don't worry, human trafficking is illegal."

Every drop of capital's blood flows with sin. As long as there's profit to be made, let alone breaking the law, capitalists would do anything, even violate human ethics!

Shinomiya Kaguya's rosy lips curved slightly upwards, her contemptuous gaze seeming to look down on an amoeba. "There are plenty of ways to make a person sell themselves."

"..."

They walked to the car.

A blonde girl in a maid outfit bent down and opened the car door, her posture and etiquette impeccable. "Young Lady, please get in."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the blonde maid and felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Noticing Amamiya Natsuki's gaze, the blonde maid placed her right hand on her chest and introduced herself with a foreign accent:

"I am Shinomiya Kaguya's personal maid, Smithy Hasaka. It's my first time meeting you, please be kind to me."

"..."

Meanwhile.

Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana were walking towards the school gate together.

"Hey, hey, isn't that Natsuki-classmate over there?"

Yotsuya Miko looked up: "I see him."

"Isn't that the super famous Shinomiya Kaguya-classmate?" Yurikawa Hana stood on tiptoe. "Why is Natsuki-classmate getting into Shinomiya-classmate's car?"

Her bestie's eyes widened, and she suddenly thought of a possibility: "...Could Natsuki-classmate be getting sponsored?"

Yotsuya Miko: "..."

Impossible.

With someone as beautiful and rich as Shinomiya, how could she possibly sponsor a mere Natsuki? There must be something else going on.

Yotsuya Miko pursed her pink lips, watched the black luxury car drive away, and withdrew her gaze. "Let's go, time for work."

Returning home in the evening, I'll stomp on them a few times, and ask all my questions while I'm at it.

There was no further conversation.

Half an hour later, the black car slowly stopped in front of a villa.

Amamiya Natsuki got out of the car and followed Kaguya into the villa.

"There's a dangerous vengeful spirit inside the villa that hunts and devours other evil spirits," Shinomiya Kaguya said in a low voice. "Please defeat it for me."

"I understand," Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly, his doubts unresolved.

Why would a mere evil spirit require her to put aside her pride and ask me for help?

The villa seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, feeling quite empty and desolate. Amamiya Natsuki followed Kaguya through the villa, searching for the evil spirit.

As they passed a floor-to-ceiling window, Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly stopped, biting her lower lip, her face a mask of complex emotions.

Amamiya Natsuki looked over curiously and saw an earthbound spirit by the window, emitting a faint glow.

Wait.

Why is this earthbound spirit a grown-up Kaguya-classmate?

(ps: I've been very busy at home for the New Year, and I'm not feeling well, my stomach always hurts. I really can't take it, so I can only update once. I'm very sorry.)

Chapter 61: Mrs. Kaguya, I Like You!

Black hair.

Red eyes.

A serene and quiet demeanor.

And a beautiful face that bore a striking seven-tenths resemblance to Shinomiya Kaguya... It was clearly a grown-up Kaguya.

Amamiya Natsuki turned his head in surprise, looking at the Kaguya-sama beside him.

Could this be Kaguya-classmate's mother?
