"It's actually in his eyes… Damn old trickster."

Amamiya Natsuki pressed his right eye; even he hadn't expected the barcode to be hidden in his eye.

"Thanks."

Amamiya Natsuki lowered his head and reached out to rub the silver-haired loli's little head.

If she hadn't reminded him, he would probably have become infamous like that old man who checked the silver vault, by taking off his clothes!

"I see." Fujiwara Chika rested her right hand on her chin, beginning her post-analysis, "When we first met, to avoid the small train, Natsuki-kun held Reina in his arms. He must have discovered the truth then."

Kitagawa Marin nodded:

"The shopping mall was dimly lit, so you could only discover it when you were very close."

"Speaking of the closest person…" Amamiya Natsuki heard this, turned to look at the pink-haired girl, and lowered his voice, "Why didn't you see it?"

"I-I certainly closed my eyes!" Fujiwara Chika secretly puffed out her cheeks, "How could I possibly keep my eyes open at a time like that?!"

"…"

Hayasaka Ai couldn't stand it anymore. She pressed her finger to her throat, changing her voice to remind them:

"Natsuki-kun, should we put on your clothes first, then go back to the first floor?"

"Cough~" Fujiwara Chika lightly coughed twice, "Let's go out first."

Only then did everyone remember that this was the men's restroom, and there was a boy next to them wearing only boxer briefs. They turned around with a rumble and left.

A moment later.

Amamiya Natsuki put on his clothes and walked out of the restroom. The girls all looked over.

"Let's go." Amamiya Natsuki turned on the faucet, washed his hands clean, "Back to the first floor."

"…"

Still with Hayasaka Ai monitoring the overall situation and Miss Ghost scouting ahead, everyone safely returned to the cashier on the first floor.

They picked up the barcode scanner and helped each other, quickly scanning out various 'ransoms'.

Most people were only worth one circulation coin, but Amamiya Natsuki's ransom was the most, requiring three circulation coins, which is why even if he had a circulation coin just now, he still couldn't pass through the air wall.

"The method to clear the game has appeared." Fujiwara Chika analyzed, "We need to 'buy ourselves out' to leave the shopping mall."

Glasses Girl: "The circulation coin should be the purple coin we got from the monster before, right?"

"We'll know if we verify it."

Amamiya Natsuki took out a purple circulation coin, his gaze shifting, finally landing on Junior high school girl Kujo, "Here you go."

"R-Really for me?"

The Junior high school girl was flattered, completely not expecting Amamiya Natsuki to give her such a precious clearance coin.

Amamiya Natsuki instructed:

"Junior high school students should go to bed early and wake up early, don't stay up late playing games."

"I don't want to either." Kujo covered her chest, her voice aggrieved, "I-If it weren't for mumps, I would be a high school student too."

"Catch!"

Amamiya Natsuki casually tossed the coin over.

The Junior high school girl clumsily caught the coin: "Um, what exactly do I need to do?"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Hold the coin and see if you can pass through the air wall."

"I understand."

The Junior high school girl agreed, nervously reaching her hand towards the invisible air wall.

Everyone held their breath and watched together, and soon saw the coin in Kujo's hand transform into a wisp of purple starlight, scattering bit by bit. The girl's body passed through the air wall unimpeded, easily crossing it.

"Eh, I really got through?"

Kujo turned around, looking at Amamiya Natsuki and the others behind the air wall, her face quickly showing a mix of surprise and joy, and she happily said, "I received a game notification! It told me that the main quest has been completed, and I can leave soon."

This Junior high school girl said, looking at Amamiya Natsuki, and in her excitement, bowed ninety degrees to thank him:

"Natsuki-senpai, I am deeply grateful!"

Amamiya Natsuki only felt his eyes blur, as if he saw two slimes bouncing around.

Ah, tonight's moon is indeed big and round.

A hand quickly reached out and covered Amamiya Natsuki's eyes.

"Kujo-chan, don't forget to join the mutual aid group." Fujiwara Chika reminded, "If we encounter games in the future, everyone can help each other."

"I've noted it down, thank you everyone…"

The ten-second teleportation countdown quickly passed, and the Junior high school girl, whose chest size could rival ten Kaguya's, was instantly teleported away.

"Good, verification successful." Amamiya Natsuki opened his hand, revealing another purple circulation coin in his palm, his gaze sweeping towards the Glasses Girl and the silver-haired loli, "Unfortunately, there's only one coin left now, heh heh heh…"

"Poke—"

Kitagawa Marin extended her right hand and poked Amamiya Natsuki's waist, scolding him, "Don't scare people."

Amamiya Natsuki helplessly raised his hands: "You've destroyed a villain's dream."

"So no one was scared by you, alright."

"…"

Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her right arm over her chest and mused:

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a second way to clear the game."

"Eh?" Fujiwara Chika asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Those monsters moving around in the shopping mall." Amamiya Natsuki took over the topic, "Why can they pass through the air wall?"

Shinomiya Kaguya answered with understanding: "They all have incomplete parts on their bodies, indicating that they are 'damaged goods' that cannot be traded and no longer have value."

Hayasaka Ai nodded: "That is to say, as long as you remove the product code on your body, making yourself no longer a product, you can also pass through the air wall and clear the game."

"How do you remove it?"

The Glasses Girl didn't understand for a moment.

"It's simple." Amamiya Natsuki pressed his cheek, his voice low, "You can just cut off the skin."

"…"

Easy to say, but how many people can actually bring themselves to do it?

"Does anyone want to verify it?"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the Glasses Girl.

The Glasses Girl smiled awkwardly: "Um, Natsuki-kun, why are you looking at me when you say that?"

"Because your barcode is on your wrist, it's the easiest place to cut…"

"Sorry, I refuse!"

"…"

The method to clear the game was known, so the next goal was very clear.

"Go find the circulation coins to 'redeem' ourselves."

"The circulation coins should be on the monsters." Fujiwara Chika analyzed, "The two circulation coins we obtained were both on monsters."

"Not necessarily." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Kitagawa, "Let's go back to the clothing store where we encountered the mannequin."

The mannequins were quite dangerous, and there were two of them in a row, so there was no reason for there to be no reward.

A moment later.

The group returned to the clothing store and began searching.

"Found it." Soon after, Amamiya Natsuki discovered the target, "There are three coins in total."

Behind the cashier, three purple coins were placed side by side.

"There actually are some." Fujiwara Chika leaned over to look, "Finding three coins at once means half the goal is directly completed."

"A monster is coming down the stairs on the east side of the second floor. It's the KFC grandpa doll."

Hayasaka Ai reminded them.

"Home delivery." Amamiya Natsuki led the way out of the store.

If it were other players, after deciphering the game rules, they would probably put on monster costumes, disguise themselves as non-human races, blend into the monster party, and find opportunities to steal or rob, doing everything they could to get the 'ransom' to redeem themselves.

But Amamiya Natsuki and his group had a completely different style.

The two sides quickly met in the Corridor.

Seeing a group of lively humans, the monster grandpa hadn't even made a move, when someone already pointed at him from across the way:

"Don, you've committed a crime!"
