"It really is a fun mission."

Fujiwara Chika spoke as she displayed the mission content.

[Limited-time Fun Mission: An Eye for an Eye, a Tooth for a Tooth]

[Bearing it for a moment makes you angrier the more you think about it; taking a step back makes you feel more cheated the more you think about it. You finally understand that the best way to conquer fear is to face it head-on.]

[Mission Content: Please scare any three ghosts before midnight.]

[Mission Reward: One random active skill]

[Failure Penalty: None]

[Note: Cheating is prohibited]

[Friendly Reminder: Moderate gaming is good for the brain, excessive gaming is harmful to the body. Arrange your time reasonably and enjoy a healthy life.]

Amamiya Natsuki finished reading the message and silently turned to look at Miss Ice Princess.

Sure enough.

Shinomiya Kaguya had her right arm crossed over her chest, slightly biting her lower lip.

"Unfair, unfair, unfair!"

"Why does Fujiwara's fun mission have no penalty, but I always have a penalty?"

"It's too unfair!"

"…"

"Eh eh, there's actually a mission inside the Blind Box?" The Blonde Hot Girl was very surprised. "This is the first time I've seen one."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the pink-haired girl and said:

"Are we doing this fun task?"

"Of course, we are!" Fujiwara Chika clenched her small fists, her voice clear and crisp, "There's no such thing as too many active skills, especially Natsuki-kun's Evil Spirit Repelling Aura! I really want it!"

"Take a gamble, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!"

After saying that, the pink-haired girl suddenly made a peace sign, a small, smug smile on her face:

"Anyway, there's no penalty for failing the mission, eh heh~"

What are you laughing at? If you keep laughing, Miss Ice Princess will get sulky again!

"Then let's do it." The Blonde Hot Girl rested her right hand on her chin, pondering, "But how do we complete it?"

Fujiwara Chika thought for a moment and said:

"As for ghosts… they should be evil spirits, right?"

As she spoke, an evil spirit covered in water weeds, still dripping water, passed through the wall and eerily walked in.

Amamiya Natsuki and the three others all looked over.

Noticing their gaze, the evil spirit silently approached, and a cold, hollow voice followed:

"You… can see me?"

Kitagawa Marin's pretty face paled slightly, and she quickly lowered her head, intently examining her manicure.

Can't see, can't see, can't see…

"Natsuki-kun, shall we use it for an experiment?"

Fujiwara Chika turned her head and whispered.

"Alright."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly.

"…Can you see me?"

A terrifying face covered in water weeds and mud drew close to Shinomiya Kaguya, as if one could smell the fishy scent of soil.

"The sun is nice today," Amamiya Natsuki said, "It's suitable for looking at the scenery by the window."

"That's right, the wind is also very gentle."

Fujiwara Chika picked up the conversation, reaching out to hug Shinomiya Kaguya's arm: "Kaguya-chan, let's go look at the scenery by the window."

The four quickly dispersed.

The evil spirit circled around them, finally turning away in disappointment:

"Can't see… can't see me…"

"Natsuki-kun."

Fujiwara Chika quietly hooked her pinky finger, gave Amamiya Natsuki a look, then took a deep breath, quickly approached the evil spirit, and suddenly made a scary face.

"Uwah—!"

"…"

The air instantly fell silent.

The Blonde Hot Girl covered her chest with her right hand, her eyes wide, her expression tense.

To actively scare an evil spirit, Chika-chan is too brave!

The evil spirit was stunned for two seconds, then black mist suddenly surged from its body, and it stretched out its swollen, pale right hand, grabbing at Fujiwara Chika:

"You can see me!"

"Natsuki-kun!" Fujiwara Chika quickly retreated two steps, "Help!"

Amamiya Natsuki was naturally on high alert, and without hesitation, he decisively activated his Evil Spirit Banishing Aura.

Invisible Force instantly affected the evil spirit, and black flames burned fiercely on its body, quickly disappearing amidst its contortions and wails.

"So, so amazing!"

The Blonde Hot Girl's eyes widened, looking at Amamiya Natsuki with surprise and wonder.

Although she had heard Fujiwara Chika say there were skills that could deal with evil spirits in the real world, this was her first time seeing it with her own eyes.

"Eh, wait." Kitagawa Marin was extremely curious, "Natsuki-kun is so amazing, why doesn't he use it in the game?"

"It can't be used." Amamiya Natsuki sighed, "This skill can only be used in the real world; it gets sealed when entering the game."

"I can understand that, otherwise it would break the game's balance." The Blonde Hot Girl reached out and grabbed Natsuki's arm, her eyes sparkling, "But even so, it's super amazing!"

Shinomiya Kaguya's delicate eyebrows twitched slightly, and she suddenly spoke:

"Fujiwara, how's the mission progress?"

"I didn't scare Mr. Evil Spirit just now at all." Fujiwara Chika shook her head, arms crossed, pondering, "Could it be that I wasn't fierce enough just now?"

Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but retort:

"I didn't see you trying to scare anyone just now; you were clearly acting cute."

"I wasn't!" Fujiwara Chika retorted, "I often use this trick to scare people, and I've scared many people with it, even Pes is afraid."

Hey, hey, Pes is your dog, right?

You don't even spare dogs; just how chaotic and terrifying are you!

Shinomiya Kaguya pondered and analyzed:

"These evil spirits have no rationality, so ordinary scares probably won't work."

"That makes sense." Amamiya Natsuki nodded, "Rational evil spirits…"

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted to Mrs. Shimizu.

"Eh?"

Mrs. Shimizu, who was reading on the sofa, tilted her head and looked over: "Natsuki-kun is so mean, I'm a guardian spirit, not an evil spirit."

"Scaring Shimizu-nee feels like cheating." Fujiwara Chika thought for a moment and said, "How about those little old men?"

"You mean those super small evil spirits that look about the size of dolls, right?" The Blonde Hot Girl clasped her hands behind her back, nodding in agreement, "They do look like old grandpas. I think it'll work."

Evil spirits in the real world come in all shapes and sizes; many don't even have human forms. Among them, the 'little old men' are the most numerous, often appearing in various dark corners, not even reaching a person's knee height. Even Miko isn't afraid of them; they are truly at the bottom of the evil spirit food chain.

"We'll know if it works by trying." Amamiya Natsuki said, "I have a feeling it probably won't."

"Wait a moment." Fujiwara Chika raised her hand to stop them, "You guys open the Blind Box first; maybe there's a surprise mission too."

As it turned out, there was no surprise at all.

Amamiya Natsuki expressionlessly put away a box of tissues, then left the club room with the three girls.

The four of them acted together and quickly found a little old man evil spirit in a corner.

When this thing saw Amamiya Natsuki and the others, it quickly hid behind the vending machine.

"Waaah—!"

Fujiwara Chika put her hands to her face, making a scary face to scare the evil spirit.

"You… can see me?"

A high-pitched voice, like an infant's, sounded, cold and hollow.

Fujiwara Chika nodded: "I can see you."

"You can see me!"

The little old man evil spirit's eyes instantly turned red, and it leaped, pouncing towards Fujiwara Chika. Its body was small, but its movements were exceptionally agile and swift.

"Help, help, help me!"

The pink-haired girl was startled and quickly hid behind Amamiya Natsuki.

Amamiya Natsuki silently activated his Evil Spirit Repelling Aura, and the little old man evil spirit vanished into thin air: "It seems it won't work."

Shinomiya Kaguya pondered:

"Based on previous observations, evil spirits in the real world don't have self-awareness, or perhaps they simply don't have emotions like fear."

"Then what should we do?" Fujiwara Chika looked pitiful, "We finally encountered a fun task; I don't want to give up."

"Um, I have an idea." Kitagawa Marin raised her right hand, "In amusement park Ghost Houses, aren't the ghosts played by staff members also considered spirits?"
