After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

In short, this is what happened. After successfully obtaining all the mission items, I placed them one by one on the metal compass in the central hall, and then the door facing this side slowly opened.

Although I don't know how it works, it's really cool. It really makes me feel like I'm in the game.

Then, Natsukawa Kanade carried Shinomiya Kaguya, who seemed to have some difficulty walking, on her back again and slowly walked into the door.

He originally thought that the person waiting for him next would be the person in charge of the level, who would comment on their challenge or give out prizes or something, but he didn't expect that a BOSS would suddenly appear.

"I hate it so much!!!"

A tall and slender pure white phantom floated out while wailing.

Her face was covered by her black hair, but from her plump figure it was not difficult to guess that her face was probably quite pretty.

However, Xiachuan Zou no longer had the energy to explore these things. He was so tired that he wanted to die and could not withstand another heavy-duty chase.

"So what is the test? It can't be that you want me to compete with you in speed on this corridor of death?" Xia Chuan Zou said weakly.

After entering the gate, there is only a long corridor left, surrounded by walls with no way out. Although the corridor is quite spacious, it is obviously not realistic to run away directly across it.

Moreover, when he saw the way the other party appeared, he understood that the other party must be stepping on some mechanism under his feet, perhaps a balance car or a skateboard. If he was to compete with her in speed while he was carrying someone on his back, wouldn't that be Chunchun giving himself away?

However, although he looked very anxious, the woman on the other side was obviously still immersed in role-playing. She was not in a hurry to explain the conditions to him and continued to speak her lines conscientiously.

"You, you're not afraid of me?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. You won't do anything to me anyway..." Xiachuan Kanade shrugged.

Although she didn't come out of the TV or from a well, she was obviously dressed like Miss Sadako. But the key point was that this fleeting appearance was not shocking enough. In addition, her figure was really sexy, which made Natsukawa Kanade think of other things.

For example, like in "The Warmth of the Moonlight", because the bear was too big and stuck in the TV frame, she could only act angry and act like a spoiled child. There are also various urban legend series, such as Miss Sadako who had to go into the adult entertainment industry to maintain her presence. She has long since transformed from a horror legend into a welfare girl!

I'm not scared at all, it's just that my younger brother might have some reaction.

Not only him, even the silly lady on his back popped her head out in time and looked at Miss Sadako floating in front of her with curiosity. There was no trace of fear on her face.

"Guuuu... I, I'm a ghost!" Miss Sadako seemed a little angry, but she just howled at the two of them to scare them.

The lethality is not even as great as that of a Husky's throwing a tantrum, but it is rather cute.

"So...this lovely ghost lady, what kind of method do you need to let us pass through here? Could it be that you have some unfulfilled wish and need our help?" Natsukawa Kanade really couldn't resist showing fear, so she could only use the Face Fruit on the other party.

"Just tell us what conditions you have. If we can do it, we will definitely agree to it." Xiachuan Zou suggested.

According to urban legends, a ghost that cannot be reincarnated must have some unfulfilled wishes in this world. Perhaps they can start from this aspect.

"But, cute and so on..." Miss Sadako seemed very shy, and it seemed that she had never been praised like this before. But she was still very conscientious after all, and immediately came to her senses and continued to rehearse her lines with Natsukawa.

"No, that's not right! Did you just say you could help me fulfill my wish? Didn't you lie to me?"

"Of course I didn't lie to you. I guarantee it on my personality as the student council president." Xia Chuan Kan patted his chest.

"Student Council President?" Miss Sadako tilted her head, seeming a little confused.

Xiachuan Zou thought the other party didn't know him, so he just gave his name.

"My name is Natsukawa Kanade, and I'm in Class A, Year 2. I don't know if you've heard of me... Never mind, that's not the point. Anyway, just tell us your wish, and we'll make it come true for you."

"..." Miss Sadako seemed to be indeed shaken. Her originally fluttering movements stopped, and her eyes hidden by her black hair seemed to still be staring at them blankly.

After a long while, she slowly spoke: "You are right. In fact, I do have a wish that I have wanted to fulfill for a long time..."

"Yeah, go ahead, we're listening." Xia Chuan Zou nodded, thinking that they were finally getting to the point.

He didn't hate the development of the plot, he was just afraid that it would take too much time and he wouldn't be able to complete it. Of course, the more important thing was that he was worried that he would not be able to keep appointments with other people after spending too much time overall.

"In fact, I had a fiancé who was arranged to marry me... Oh, yes, it was before I died... At that time, my parents made me do bride training for a long time, just so that I would not bring disgrace to the family after I got married. But I didn't expect that he would suddenly break off the engagement... After that, my father went on a long trip to find the fiancé to argue, but he never came back. My mother also died of illness due to missing him..."

Although it is impossible to see Miss Sadako's expression clearly, it is not difficult to tell from her tone that she is really into the role, her voice is trembling with a hint of crying.

“I, I don’t know what to do… After burying my mother with the help of my fellow villagers, I set out on the journey to find my father, and then unknowingly walked here… When I walked here…” Ms. Sadako really has a very good ability to empathize. She was obviously just simply explaining the plot, but she really put herself into it.

"...Please accept my condolences." Xiachuan Zou silently comforted for a while.

He anticipated what would happen next.

After all, the setting is the era when "arranged marriage" still existed, and a girl like her would definitely encounter unexpected events when she went out, and it might be the most heartbreaking tragedy...

"I just starved to death."

"...Ah?" Xiachuan Zou thought he had heard it wrong.

Miss Sadako saw that Natsukawa Kanade looked confused, so she explained to him, "I was afraid that my father wouldn't be able to find home after returning, so I sold everything at home and only took some dry food with me when I set out. As a result... maybe I miscalculated and didn't bring enough dry food. I ate all the food before I even got halfway, and then I starved to death..."

I don’t know if it was Xiachuan Kanade’s illusion, but even though her face was completely covered by her black hair, he could still see through her pretty face that was already flushed red underneath her hair…

So how come you have the courage to say it even though you know it’s embarrassing?

But what Xiachuan Zou wanted to complain about at this moment was another sentence - no decent person would be starved to death? Your script should not be too outrageous!

163. How can you defame someone’s innocence out of thin air!

"Let me restate it, you mean... because you didn't bring enough food, you accidentally starved to death on the way to find your father? Is that right?" Natsukawa Kanade concluded.

"Yes..." Miss Sadako nodded weakly. When she saw the subtle look in Natsukawa Kanade's eyes, she hurriedly waved her hands to explain, "No, no! It's not what you think! In fact, the food we brought was enough, but when we met beggars on the road, we gave them some..."

"them?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I gave some to them, I didn't have enough to eat myself..."

"Uh... so you've never thought about finding something... to eat or something?" Xiachuan Zou asked in confusion.

"Hey...but I'm not a homeless person. I can't beg like them, right?"

"..."

Well, well, what else can he say now that you've said that? This level of ignorance of worldly affairs is far beyond his imagination!

To be frank, even if he threw the silly young lady in the state of "young Kaguya" on his back into that kind of environment, it would not be possible for her to starve to death, right? !

The most important thing is that he was ready to listen to a very heartbreaking and tragic story, but this is the result? Give him back his feelings!

"So your wish... isn't it that you want to have a good meal?" Xiachuan Zou asked doubtfully.

After all, it's normal for a starving ghost to want to eat more, and his real wish may be to have another good meal.

"What? That's so rude! How could I be the kind of glutton? My only wish is to meet my fiancé whom I've never met... At most, I just want to ask him why you suddenly want to break up the engagement." Miss Sadako is really dedicated to her job, and her performance looks very innocent.

It seemed as if Natsukawa Kanade could see the rich emotions expressed on her face hidden by her black hair from the other person's tone.

The script is just so bad that it makes me really want to complain about it.

"Oh, I see. Anyway, all I have to do is take you to find your 'fiancé who is somewhere', right?" Xia Chuan Kanade said slowly, "Of course, that's no problem. We agree."

I had thought that this last level would be difficult for a while, but I didn't expect it to be such a simple task.

It's just looking for someone. You will definitely find him if you search carefully along the way.

"Then just follow us...but remember not to make too much noise. I don't want to fail in the challenge because of this." Xiachuan Zou reminded.

Miss Sadako looked a little confused, but still nodded softly.

"Okay." Miss Sadako responded, and then handed over a small bracelet, "Please accept this bracelet, so that I can always stay by my benefactor's side."

"Okay." Xia Chuan Zou nodded and took it.

After taking a closer look, I found that the workmanship is quite exquisite. Although it is a wooden bracelet, it seems to be well maintained and looks no different from a new one.

Of course it is possible that this is something he had just bought, but he doesn’t know the value of things and can’t tell.

"Gum... Mmm, benefactor, please, please don't touch me like this... I can't stand it..."

"...Ah?" Xia Chuan Zou looked over with horror, thinking, what vicious words are you saying?

He's carrying a girl on his back! What are you trying to do by insulting his innocence?

He could even feel that the silly lady behind him was looking at him with a very kind gaze, and it was entirely possible that she would call him "scumbag" in the next second!

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't even touch you!" He stuffed the bracelet into his pocket at the speed of light, and Xia Chuan Zou quickly raised his hands high to prove his innocence.

"It's okay, President. It's so dark now, it's normal to bump into someone accidentally." Shinomiya Kaguya puffed her cheeks, looking very unhappy.

From her perspective, she couldn't tell whether the president took the opportunity to touch the girl's hand, but the other party said so... Oh, she was really conflicted!

On the one hand, I wanted to trust the president and thought it might just be a misunderstanding, but on the other hand, I really cared whether he had really made any sexual advances.

She's still here, isn't she? If you want to touch her, touch her more! Her hands feel better!

In short, I’m so angry!

So the silly lady became ruthless and stretched out the hand that was originally on Xiachuan Zou's right shoulder, and after holding the other's right hand, she refused to let go.

"In order to prevent the president from bringing disgrace to the student union, I, the vice president, have to take over the president's duties!"

"..." Xia Chuanzou opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"Okay, fine, whatever you say..." After thinking about it, he still felt that he could not communicate with Kaguya Shinomiya in her current state. After all, children are very imaginative. The key point is that he would not feel a sense of accomplishment if he defeated him.

Then he turned his gaze to the person beside him who might have deliberately caused the misunderstanding between the two of them. Just when he was about to remind the other person to follow him, he found that the person had disappeared without a trace.

"Where are the people?" Xia Chuan Zou asked doubtfully.

After looking around and finding no trace, and waiting for a while and still no sign of anyone, the two gave up the idea of ​​waiting any longer.

After all, the bracelet is in hand, so it should be considered a quest item. When the time comes, all I have to do is interact with the target object.

With this thought in mind, the two continued their journey.

There were no more unexpected incidents on the road ahead, but the passage became narrower and narrower, barely enough for one person to pass through. However, it was not a problem for Xiachuan Zou and the others. After all, he had always been acting as a mount, so it didn't matter.

After walking along this path for a while, he finally saw a ray of light shining through the crack of the wooden door, so he strode forward and pushed the door open.

What came into view was a group of "ghosts" dressed in strange costumes, sitting in an open space playing cards. With the arrival of Natsukawa Kanade, both sides looked at each other for a long time.

"SO? What's next?" Xiachuan Zou no longer had the heart to enjoy the game. He was simply exhausted and just wanted to sit down and rest for a while.

Just when he wanted to end the battle quickly, several people suddenly stood up, dusted themselves off, and came over to greet the two of them.

"As expected of the guild master, he's the first to complete the challenge! He's really amazing!"

"President, please sit here and rest for a while. I will go find the person in charge! Please wait a moment!"

"Ah?" Xia Chuan Zou was stunned for a moment, "So you mean, the challenge is over?"

Just when Xiachuan Zou was wondering if he had accepted another mission, a voice that sounded very silly suddenly rang out.

"Yes, that's right, it's all over!"

A pink octopus head suddenly popped out.

The strange pig head mask on his face had long been taken off, and replaced by two cat ears hanging on a headband that seemed to be able to swing on their own.

Oh yeah, it's a cat girl!

Resisting the urge to rub, Xia Chuan Zou frowned and asked, "Are you sure it's all over?"

"Yes, yes, if two people can come out of here together, we've passed the level." Fujiwara Chika pulled the ball of fur hanging by her ear, and the cat ears on her head moved several times, which was very cute.

“But you still have to submit the stamped cards later. If you don’t stamp every level, it won’t count even if you come out!”

"That's not what I'm asking..." Natsukawa Kanade wanted to say something but was interrupted by Fujiwara Chika with a wave of her hand.

"Hey, President, don't be so suspicious all the time. You will get wrinkles if you continue like this. Go away quickly and don't stand in the way. It will be bad if you get in the way of other challengers." Fujiwara Chika reprimanded him righteously.

"……"Fine.

Since she said so, there was nothing Xiachuan Zou could do but to follow her arrangements and was taken to the place to redeem the prizes by another staff member.

"President, could it be that they made a mistake? Wasn't there still a girl whose task was not completed? There is also an empty space on the cardboard." Shinomiya Kaguya reminded.

Natsukawa Zou was also very confused, but since the other party said so, he could only attribute it to a "side quest", just like the level hosted by Fujiwara Chika when he first came in.

But why did she come here again? Wasn't the project over there going on anymore?

It's impossible that his suggestions would really make this idiot who likes to do things his own way suddenly realize the truth, right?
