"Bound spirits are rare. They are white, glowing humanoids, and I heard they can only stay in places they cherished in life."

The girl's voice was timid as she continued to provide information: "I have a very good friend whose mother passed away a long time ago. A while ago, when I went to her house, I saw her mother had become a bound spirit, almost exactly like she was when she was alive. I could even hear the auntie speaking."

"The auntie said my friend always stayed cooped up at home by herself and was very lonely, and she hoped I could take her out more… I didn't dare to answer and pretended not to see her."

"I wonder what would happen if the auntie found out I could see her."

So that's how it is.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly.

So Miko's father's situation was that of a bound spirit, no wonder he was completely different from other wandering evil spirits.

It was a pity they didn't know the specific situation of bound spirits, so pretending not to see them was the best option.

"…Dad."

A soft cry suddenly echoed in his ears.

Amamiya Natsuki looked in the direction of the sound and saw Rikka, the chuunibyou girl, with slightly red eyes and a misty haze welling up in them.

The Cow Lady Spirit's voice was surprised: "She actually called you Dad?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Amamiya Natsuki said, exasperated. "She's clearly not calling me."

"That's not necessarily true," Miss Wraith snorted. "Don't think I don't know, you human males like women to call you Dad. I think there's even an industry called 'Papa Katsu'…"

You even know about Papa Katsu! You really are a progressive Wraith who keeps up with the times and current events!

Amamiya Natsuki was curious: "How do you know so much?"

"Before, a human appeared in my hospital room. I was very bored at the time, so I asked her to tell me stories to entertain me," Miss Wraith, who had now developed a habit, mumbled while chewing chives, "That cowardly human said she was an author and was writing a light novel. I can't quite remember the title, but it was something like 'Grabbing the Weakness of a Papa Katsu High School Girl and Forcing Her to Play a Dog Walking game'."

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Such a terrible title wouldn't even pass the review stage!

At the same time.

"Rikka, what's wrong?"

Fujiwara Chika asked with concern.

"I want to go home," Takanashi Rikka wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and the cowlick on top of her head drooped. "Dad must be alone at home, waiting for me and my sister to come back."

Fujiwara Chika blinked, then gently stroked Rikka's head, her voice soft: "Rikka-chan, don't cry. If you're so worried, then go home and see, but be sure to be careful."

"Mom… Bound Spirit…"

Upon hearing this information, Shinomiya Kaguya silently pressed her right hand to her chest, her long eyelashes casting shadows on her pretty face.

"Um… can I have some food, please?"

The girl asked cautiously.

Shinomiya Kaguya gently exhaled and turned her face, saying, "Amamiya-kun."

"Understood."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded.

The transaction had been completed, and now it was time for the milking work.

The Cow Lady Spirit leaned back on the hospital bed, chewing chives and fiercely declaring, "Eighteen times! Eighteen people in total, and you haven't let me rest for a minute! I've remembered all of you humans!"

"Yes, yes," Amamiya Natsuki said perfunctorily. "So, are you going to let me put the blindfold on you or not?"

"I'm definitely going to eat you!"

"…"

After drinking a cup of milk, the player girl's hunger quickly dissipated. She thanked them gratefully and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment," Shinomiya Kaguya said, crossing her arms over her chest, her tone cool. "There's one more thing."

"Eh?"

"Describe the 'patient' who shares your room. The more detailed the information, the better."

The player girl was surprised: "What do you want to do?"

"Better safe than sorry," Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head slightly and looked at Fujiwara Chika. "Fujiwara."

"Coming!"

Fujiwara Chika, having already started her secretarial duties, came before the girl and handed her a piece of paper: "Please begin."

The player girl looked down and found it was a hand-drawn survey form: hospital room number, identity of the Wraith in the same room, what the Wraith demanded, guesses about the Wraith, and so on… It made her feel bewildered.

What about the horror game that was promised?

Everyone else was on edge, struggling to survive, so why did they have the leisure to create a survey form?

"Please hurry," Fujiwara Chika kindly reminded her. "The Corridor is about to get dark again."

"I'm sorry."

The player girl instinctively bowed in apology, then took the pen, sat down at the table, and began filling out the survey form with complex and subtle feelings.

A moment later.

"I'm done."

She handed over the form with both hands, and this player quickly said goodbye and left.

Darkness fell.

The door closed, and the transaction finally came to an end.

"Finally, no more chives," the Cow Lady Spirit lay on the hospital bed, her face filled with an expression of utter despair, like a broken toy. "I almost threw up."

Don't worry, you definitely won't throw up.

According to the law of conservation of energy, all the chives you ate have now been converted into energy.

To be safe, Amamiya Natsuki still sat beside the Cow Lady Spirit, supervising her. On the surface, she seemed completely obedient and even resigned, but she was still a Wraith, so caution was necessary.

If she were bitten by those serrated teeth, her bones would probably be crushed.

"Um, what do we do next?"

Asuka, the second girl to choose to cling to their leg, raised her right hand and asked in a low voice.

"Integrate information, analyze clues, extract key elements," Shinomiya Kaguya quickly scanned the survey forms in her hand without looking up. "Information is the most valuable thing. Imagining things behind closed doors is meaningless. Analyzing and integrating big data is the correct way to complete a task."

In fact, all the players who came to trade for food had filled out the survey form. This didn't involve personal privacy, so there was no need to refuse, and many people were quite cooperative, hoping that Amamiya Natsuki and the others would come over for a friendly visit.

"Cough, cough… That makes a lot of sense."

Kujou Asuka coughed twice guiltily. Although she didn't understand what was being said, it sounded very impressive.

As expected of the big shot, her choice to cling to their leg was indeed correct!

Shinomiya Kaguya read very quickly. She quickly finished all the survey forms and then handed them to Fujiwara Chika: "Everyone take a look and then share your thoughts."

Decision-makers need to be autocratic.

But before that, they need to widely solicit opinions from all sides.

"We have to express our thoughts too?"

Kujou Asuka's mood became even more complicated. Why did it feel like a leadership meeting to discuss work?

The art style of the horror game was getting more and more off!

A moment later.

"Natsuki-kun, here you go," Fujiwara Secretary handed over a stack of survey forms. "I'm done reading them."

Amamiya Natsuki took the survey forms and carefully read through them.

The first survey form's cohabiting patient was a succubus.

Dark-skinned.

Fangs.

A pair of demon wings on her back, and a tail.

Dressed very revealingly.

Her eyes were scary red vertical pupils.

Finally, a sentence left by the unlucky player:

"—I feel like it wants to eat me, but I'm a girl!"
