Yotsuya Miko was dumbfounded, even doubting her own eyes.
Waking up.
Her good friend, Yurikawa Hana, was disheveled, her face flushed, her eyes teary, and she was meekly sprawled by the bed.
Her childhood friend, Amamiya Natsuki, had his right hand on Yurikawa Hana's waist, seemingly wanting to press closer.
In this situation, Yotsuya Miko suddenly thought of a certain series.
In front of the husband...
No, she was a girl, so it would be in front of the wife?
Although they weren't dating, for her childhood friend and good friend to do such a thing in front of her, it was simply too much!
"Ahhh! Miko, listen to me!"
Yurikawa Hana's eyes widened suddenly, her already flushed face's temperature exceeding its limit, and white steam billowed from the top of her head: "The truth isn't what you think it is!"
Looking at the glimpse of white on her good friend's chest, Yotsuya Miko's lips twitched slightly, and she raised a hand to cover her forehead:
"Hana, put your clothes on first."
"I'm sorry, the clothes are already ruined." Because of the extreme shame, a misty haze filled the golden-haired girl's eyes.
Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko's breathing hitched, and she silently turned to look at Amamiya Natsuki.
"It has nothing to do with me." Amamiya Natsuki quickly raised his hands to show his innocence, "Listen to me explain... Never mind, let Yurikawa-san explain."
The suspect's defense had no credibility whatsoever.
"I just now..."
Yurikawa Hana covered her chest with both hands and began to narrate tearfully.
Looking at the button lying in her good friend's palm, Yotsuya Miko let out a soft sigh.
With both human and material evidence present, it seemed she had indeed misunderstood.
Amamiya Natsuki sighed deeply, and said melancholically:
"Being wronged by the person closest to you, it's so hard."
Yotsuya Miko's pretty face flushed slightly: "I didn't say a word just now."
Amamiya Natsuki: "A suspicious gaze is scarier than an interrogation."
"...You, get out."
Yotsuya Miko sat up straight and pointed towards the door, "Bring me the sewing kit."
"..."
Amamiya Natsuki found the sewing kit, gave it to Yotsuya Miko, and was then quickly chased out of the room.
A moment later.
Two girls walked down from upstairs.
The button on Yurikawa Hana's chest had been sewn back on, but to be safe, the golden-haired friend still covered her collar with her hand, her pretty face still bearing a lingering blush, and she said softly:
"Natsuki-kun, goodbye, I'm going home."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "See you tomorrow."
"I'm going back too."
Yotsuya Miko also held her school bag and left with her good friend.
The night passed without incident.
The next day.
Classroom.
"Natsuki-kun, good morning."
Fujiwara Chika came over to Amamiya Natsuki's side, holding her school bag with both hands.
As expected of the socially adept girl, her address changed from Amamiya-kun a couple of days ago to Natsuki-kun, and then to Natsuki-kun, spoken quite naturally.
"Morning."
Amamiya Natsuki looked up, his gaze falling on Fujiwara Chika's face, and he was slightly surprised, "Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"
Hearing this, Fujiwara Chika bit her lower lip meekly: "Last night when I was sleeping, a super terrifying vengeful spirit suddenly came in and stood by my bed, staring at me. I wanted to change rooms to sleep, but it even followed me, super scary, I couldn't sleep at all."
As she spoke, Shinomiya Kaguya just happened to walk into the classroom from outside.
"Kaguya-chan, you lied, the eye mask is completely useless." Fujiwara Chika looked pitifully at the ice sculpture girl, "That vengeful spirit kept staring at me, I could feel it on my skin."
"I never said the eye mask was 100% effective." Shinomiya Kaguya's voice was cool and composed, "It was just a suggestion."
Amamiya Natsuki looked at the ice sculpture girl.
After not seeing her for a night, the dark circles under the girl's eyes showed no signs of fading, clearly indicating she hadn't rested well.
"Blind Box, Blind Box!" Fujiwara Chika clenched her pink fists, cheering herself on, "Before leaving home this morning, I specifically watched a horoscope program, and the host said my luck today is very good."
Shinomiya Kaguya's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she remembered yesterday's interesting task, involuntarily biting her lower lip.
Liar.
Horoscope predictions are not reliable at all!
Fujiwara Chika quickly purchased today's Blind Box. After opening it, a faint golden light flickered, immediately attracting the attention of Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya.
There was golden light, could it be a golden UR?
[Ten-fold Critical Hit!]
[Congratulations: You have obtained one hundred Game coins]
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Fujiwara Chika in surprise.
Just casually opening a Blind Box, and she actually got a ten-fold critical hit. Are you the legendary Child of Destiny?
From the current perspective, Game coins were quite precious.
Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya completed the novice tasks, each getting ten Game coins. Clearing Ghost Academy only yielded a total of seventy Game coins. All their hard work combined was not as much as Fujiwara Chika's single Blind Box.
"Hmm..." Fujiwara Chika blinked, "I guess my luck is pretty good, right?"
"..."
Shinomiya Kaguya silently bit her lower lip.
Unfair!
Yesterday, the horoscope host said her luck was very good, so why did she get such a terrible task?
Was someone targeting her?
"Natsuki-kun, quickly see what's inside your Blind Box." Fujiwara Chika looked over expectantly.
Amamiya Natsuki agreed and purchased today's Blind Box from the shop.
He had checked it upon waking up this morning; the item in the Blind Box was a tool, not a vengeful spirit, but he didn't know what exactly it was.
Opening the Blind Box, Amamiya Natsuki felt his palm sink slightly.
"Eh, it's a comb?" Fujiwara Chika's eyes were curious.
Shinomiya Kaguya said softly: "An ordinary comb?"
"It should... not be ordinary."
Amamiya Natsuki's tone was subtle, and he quickly showed the comb's attributes to the two girls.
[Item: Blood-Stained Comb]
[This is a comb from the Showa era. Its former owner was a barber who, for thirty years, consistently gave customers middle part hairstyles. The middle part technique has been etched into the comb. As long as the target has hair, it can forcibly comb their hair into a middle part.]
[Note: Don't go, let me comb a middle part for you.]
"The era of middle part hairstyles has passed." Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but retort, "This comb is completely useless, isn't it?"
"I object. Even if it's useless, there are times it can come in handy." Amamiya Natsuki said seriously, "What if we encounter an extremely cold environment someday, we can use it as firewood."
Fujiwara Chika: "Such a small comb, it wouldn't be enough to burn at all."
"This comb has no extra conditions for use, it can be used anytime, anywhere." Amamiya Natsuki looked at the two girls with interest, "Do you want to try it out?"
"I refuse." Fujiwara Chika quickly covered her bangs and retreated warily, "I definitely don't want a middle part hairstyle!"
"How about Kaguya-san?" Amamiya Natsuki then looked at the ice sculpture girl, "Want to experience a middle part hairstyle?"
Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her arms over her chest, a smile of affection for small animals appearing on her face: "Amamiya-kun is very cute."
"I'm sorry, I take back what I just said."
"..."
No one was willing to try the middle part comb for now, and soon it was Shinomiya Kaguya's Blind Box time.
The Blind Box disappeared.
The girl's hands were empty.
Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat disbelieving: "Kaguya-san, you didn't get another prize, did you?"
"..."
Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lower lip meekly.
[Congratulations, you have received a fun task: Defeat a Hundred People!]
