"Choose a candy."
A cold, hoarse voice quietly sounded.
"Eh, eh, who's talking?" Fujiwara Chika became nervous.
"It's your 'neighbor' next door." Amamiya Natsuki looked at the pale hand reaching out from under the stall. "It's exactly as you said, holding two candies in its hand, one red and one blue, asking me to choose."
Fujiwara Chika raised her voice: "There really is someone next door!"
"It's definitely a vengeful spirit, isn't it?" Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but complain, "Its hand is so pale, and there are scars all over it. How could you mistake it?"
"I'm sorry." Fujiwara Chika was very guilty, stammering, "Amamiya-kun, you've seen that street experiment, right?"
"It's where, when someone is on the phone, you walk over and ask them to help hold something, and no matter what it is, they'll help hold it."
"I didn't think that much just now. Someone suddenly reached out their hand, and I accidentally took it."
"Now is not the time to discuss these things." Shinomiya Kaguya's voice was clear and cold. "The one next door... why is it suddenly giving out candies? What will happen if we take its candies?"
Unsolicited kindness always hides ulterior motives.
Shinomiya Kaguya was quite wary.
She wouldn't eat candies given by strangers, let alone something given by a vengeful spirit.
Upon hearing Shinomiya Kaguya's question, the cold, hoarse voice actually gave an answer:
"Blue for body, red for lifespan."
"Eh, what does that mean?"
Fujiwara Chika was curious.
Under Amamiya Natsuki's gaze, a text prompt had already appeared before his eyes:
"Choosing the blue candy requires paying with a body organ, and the red candy requires paying with lifespan."
If you take a vengeful spirit's candy, you naturally have to pay the corresponding price. No problem there.
"How... how unfair!" Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but exclaim, "It's just one candy, the price is too high!"
"Choose a candy."
The pale, bloodless hand waved at Amamiya Natsuki again, with a hint of impatience in its tone.
Amamiya Natsuki's expression was calm and composed. He suddenly said:
"Why can I only choose one?"
The voice from the last stall paused: "What do you mean?"
Amamiya Natsuki said seriously: "I choose to have both."
"...Alright."
The vengeful spirit in the stall was silent for two seconds, "I'll give you both."
"Wait a moment, I still have a question." Amamiya Natsuki did not take the candies. "Are your candies past their expiration date?"
"..."
The vengeful spirit behind the stall was completely dumbfounded.
What on Earth is this human talking about?
To be concerned about the expiration date at a time like this?
"No."
The vengeful spirit replied, suppressing its anger.
"Please wait a moment." Amamiya Natsuki said unhurriedly, "Excuse me, have your candies passed the review of the Food Safety Protection Law?"
"..."
This is a school where vengeful spirits live. Where would there be food safety review personnel?
This human is clearly toying with it!
"No! Nothing at all!"
The vengeful spirit's anger surged. Its grayish-green fingernails quickly lengthened, and its rage erupted. "Human, quickly choose a candy!"
Amamiya Natsuki seemed oblivious to the surging anger, and reminded it:
"This classmate, producing and selling substandard and counterfeit food is a very serious illegal act. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Bang, bang, bang!
Violent banging sounds came from the stall door.
"Stop talking nonsense, quickly choose a candy!"
The vengeful spirit behind the stall was on the verge of going berserk.
"If you won't listen to advice, then there's nothing I can do." Amamiya Natsuki sighed, facing the challenge head-on, grabbing the restroom spirit's wrist, and saying in a serious tone, "This classmate, you are under arrest."
"Meow?"
An incredulous voice sounded, belonging to Fujiwara Chika, who was still trapped in the restroom.
She was clearly being harassed by a vengeful spirit, so how did the vengeful spirit suddenly get arrested?
"Human, you are seeking your own death."
The vengeful spirit's voice was cold.
As a vengeful spirit, even if the police came, it wouldn't be afraid at all.
"Don't misunderstand, the reason for your arrest is not for selling substandard food." Amamiya Natsuki's tone was steady, pausing for two seconds. "...This is a women's restroom, isn't it?"
"Why are you, a male, appearing in a women's restroom?"
Vengeful spirit: "..."
Is your focus problematic?
"So you're a perverted peeping tom!" Fujiwara Chika blurted out.
"I'm not, I didn't."
The vengeful spirit quickly denied it.
"You heard the school-wide manhunt just now, didn't you?" Amamiya Natsuki said unhurriedly, "Our location is broadcast every ten minutes, and the time is almost up. Someone will be here soon. What do you think will happen when they find you hiding in the women's restroom?"
Toilet Spirit: "..."
He will die.
And he will die a miserable death.
Although they were all Spirits, they still maintained basic human order.
A male hiding in the women's restroom, no matter how he explained it, would be considered a peeping tom. Once those female Toilet Spirit went berserk, they could tear him to shreds in minutes.
Thinking of this, the restroom Spirit already wanted to slip away.
He had a special ability that allowed him to teleport between different restrooms, so he wasn't afraid of being caught.
Then he was shocked to find that his wrist was still firmly gripped by the human.
"Human, let go of my hand…"
The Toilet Spirit threatened.
"Shut up." Amamiya Natsuki calmly interrupted, "You first open the door and let the two of them out."
"..."
This mere human, dares to threaten a Spirit?
Does he really think Spirits are easy to bully?!
"Ah, it can be opened now."
Fujiwara Chika exclaimed softly, quickly opened the cubicle door, and walked out with the elegant Kaguya-san.
Amamiya Natsuki said, "Fujiwara, give him back the candy."
"Oh."
Fujiwara Chika quickly handed the candy back. The Toilet Spirit hiding in the restroom silently took it, not daring to refuse at all.
"Let's go."
Amamiya Natsuki then released his hand.
Once you concede, it becomes easier to concede again and again.
The three walked out of the restroom.
"The broadcast will start again soon," Shinomiya Kaguya reminded him.
"Shall we go to the rooftop?"
Fujiwara Chika raised her hand to suggest.
As she spoke, the broadcast sounded again, reporting their location, and Ghost Academy became restless once more.
The three quickly ascended the stairs, preparing to hide on the rooftop.
Only after reaching the end did they discover that the door to the rooftop was locked.
"Don't worry." Fujiwara Chika reached for the hairpin on her head, "I have a special lock-picking skill; I can open the lock with a hairpin."
You actually know such an advanced skill, are you a special agent girl?!
"How long will it take to pick the lock?" Amamiya Natsuki asked.
"Three to five minutes, I guess."
Amamiya Natsuki said nothing, quickly went downstairs: "Let's go quickly."
Staying in one place for three to five minutes, the yellow flower dishes would have already cooled!
The three quickly went downstairs. Just as they turned the corner, they ran into a tall Toilet Spirit in a suit, with black mist surging all over him. The resentment on his body occasionally transformed into various shapes, looking extremely terrifying at first glance.
Text prompts quickly appeared before Amamiya Natsuki's eyes.
[Level: Dean]
[Exploitable weakness: Ultimate cat lover, even if he becomes a Spirit, he will not harm cats]
Tap, tap, tap.
A Spirit with only a pair of beautiful legs appeared behind the three again.
In an instant, they were caught between a rock and a hard place.
Amamiya Natsuki quickly took out the cat ear hairpin and looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, whose pretty face was expressionless, and whose head kept showing the text [So scary, so scary, so scary].
"Kaguya-san, quickly turn into a cat girl!"
