Kaguya-sama: Love Is War wants me to turn myself in.

"..."

The thug looked blankly at him.

Such a swift and decisive method of bribery completely overwhelmed it.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the thug gripped the Sin Coin tightly, his eyes flashing menacingly as he said:

"You actually dared to bribe me..."

“Who said it was a bribe?” Amamiya Natsuki’s expression turned serious. “It was clearly the money you just dropped.”

The thug was stunned: "I...I lost my money?"

“That’s right.” Natsuki Amamiya said seriously, “When you walked over just now, some money fell out of your pocket, and I just happened to pick it up…”

As Amamiya Natsuki spoke, she pulled out another handful of sin coins and stuffed them into the thug's pocket:

"I'm just returning it to its rightful owner."

"..."

Money is easy to earn, and you don't feel bad about spending it.

The thug stood there for a moment, then his gaze softened as he looked at Natsuki Amamiya.

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said:

"Hey bro, what's your name?"

The thug's voice was muffled, and he didn't seem very bright.

"My name is Natsume..."

"Good name!"

You didn't even listen to the whole thing!

Amamiya Natsuki asked in confusion:

"Did Natsume just say that I cheated at the casino?"

"You misheard me." Natsume tucked the sin coins into his pocket, his voice low. "I meant come to the casino more often in the future."

"I'll definitely come," Natsuki Amamiya said with a smile. "Please take good care of me tomorrow, Natsume-nii-san."

"I will handle it."

Eyes facing each other.

it is more than words.

After scattering two handfuls of Sin Coins, the originally fierce and menacing thugs became exceptionally gentle. To prevent Amamiya Natsuki from being harassed and extorted by others, they even escorted Amamiya Natsuki to the entrance of the studio before turning and leaving.

Natsuki Amamiya returned to her seat and began to slack off.

The man with kidney deficiency, whose forehead was bleeding, turned his head and whispered a reminder:

"Failure to meet daily performance targets... will result in punishment..."

Amamiya Natsuki extended her right hand and said:

"Then lend me a sin coin?"

"..."

The man with kidney deficiency immediately clutched his black box tightly and then turned his head away.

You can borrow a life, but you can never borrow money.

"Tsk."

Amamiya Natsuki withdrew his gaze, trying to find Kaguya and the others, but unfortunately, he still found nothing.

Aside from meeting Ms. Mitsui at the casino, Kaguya and Yukino haven't encountered any of the others yet.

A few minutes later.

A horn suddenly sounded in the gloomy, dimly lit studio, and all the zombies sitting in front of their computers stood up one by one, clearly indicating that it was time to leave work.

As Amamiya Natsuki got up, she noticed that the shills weren't rushing out, but rather lining up and walking towards the exit one by one.

A row of menacing thugs stood at the entrance, holding weapons and scanning everyone with fierce eyes.

First and foremost, everyone, regardless of who they are, must meet the basic performance requirements.

After submitting the basic performance report, the next step is to split the proceeds of the fraud 50/50. Don't even think about keeping any for yourself, because the computer will record the income of each shill.

Those who fail to meet even the basic performance targets will be punished.

Natsuki Amamiya mingled among the group and soon saw what the punishment was.

Snapped!

A dog owner whose box was empty, clearly having earned no income, was kicked to the ground, and then a thug lashed out with a whip.

With one lash, the skin was torn open and flesh was torn apart, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The whip must be some kind of special tool, causing even unconscious evil spirits to writhe and writhe in agony beneath it.

However, apart from this unfortunate guy, everyone else remained indifferent and silent, truly adopting a "not my problem" attitude.

"Indifference, the people in the park are really too indifferent."

Amamiya Natsuki sighed, then looked away out of boredom.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared, let alone the joys and sorrows of humans and evil spirits.

Furthermore, every single one of those shills who engage in fraud should be hanged; they don't deserve any sympathy or pity whatsoever.

"Ok?"

Amamiya Natsuki suddenly noticed that in the queue ahead, there was a girl trembling, pale-faced, and filled with panic and fear.

"Is he a random player?"

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly.

The instance isn't opened for just one person, so it's perfectly normal for random players to appear.

The random player in front of me looks like a newbie and hasn't even met his daily targets yet, otherwise he wouldn't be trembling with fear.

After a moment's hesitation, Amamiya Natsuki left the group and then quietly walked up to a random player.

Cutting in line is illegal in real life, but in dungeons, nobody cares at all.

Amamiya Natsuki turned her head slightly to look at the female player passing by behind her and said in a low voice:

"Let me ask you a question."

"Eh?"

The female player on the road looked up blankly.

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"What time will the nuclear wastewater be discharged from Japan Island?"

The female player, who was just passing by, was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with excitement, and she quickly replied:

"One o'clock! One o'clock in Tokyo time!"

Natsuki Amamiya asked again:

Who is the company responsible for discharging the nuclear wastewater?

Random player: "It's Tokyo Electric Power Company!"

Amamiya Natsuki said:

What crime do you think should be the punishment?

Random player:

"Crimes against humanity! All of them hanged!"

“Very good, perfect answer.” Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly and put her hand behind her back.

The female player glanced down and saw three Sin Coins lying in Amamiya Natsuki's hand. She immediately became excited, carefully taking the coins and exclaiming with great excitement:

"Many thanks!"

To date, the game has not featured any player-versus-player combat instances; the factions have always been two separate sides.

On one side are humans, and on the other are ghost stories and evil spirits.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Ghost Stories Administration, it called on all players to help each other and overcome difficulties together when they encounter other players in dungeons.

Of course, even without the Bureau's appeal, Natsuki Amamiya would never hesitate to help a novice or random passerby.

It is precisely because I have been caught in the rain that I want to hold an umbrella for others.

You can choose not to hold an umbrella for others, but it's unnecessary to laugh at those who hold umbrellas for others.

The team moved forward very quickly.

Before long, Natsuki Amamiya arrived at the payment counter.

His performance today was zero, so he only needed to pay the most basic share. Under the watchful eyes of a group of thugs, Natsuki Amamiya calmly took out a coin and handed over his share for the day.

Seeing that Amamiya Natsuki had paid the money, the group of thugs waved him away without saying a word.

Clearly, as long as you pay money, you can avoid physical pain, and you don't care where the money comes from, whether it's stolen or robbed.

In one park, the number of dog touts is the largest, like worker ants in an anthill. Besides the studio where Amamiya Natsuki is located, there are several other studios nearby with their exits open, and countless dog touts pour out from them.

Before long, Natsuki Amamiya finally saw the first familiar figure.

"President, President!"

Fujiwara Chika stood on tiptoe and waved happily in the group.

Natsuki Amamiya nodded and took out a sin coin to show it to her:

Do you have any money?

"Don't worry, President."

Fujiwara Chika gave an OK sign, completely unfazed.
