A few minutes after defeating the demon, Gaido Sensei, Mr. Orochi and Miyuki and a few others found us. Everyone was gasping when they saw the big hole piercing from the top of the cave to the bottom. After that they took the 3 of us back to the inn for medical treatment, but strangely enough, I was treated in a separate room and no one but Gaido Sensei, Mr. Orochi and my doctor were allowed to enter the room. When asking the reason, Gaido-sensei answered that because my situation is the worst, but I know that is not the real reason. Anyway, there's nothing I can do now except lie still. That night, I couldn't sleep and kept my eyes on the ceiling and rested over my own possession of fire and lightning magic. {Creak} The sound of the door opening startled me.
-How's the arm? -Because only a little moonlight was shining on the room at the time, I couldn't see the face of the person who was leaning on the door, but the shape of the skirt and the katana on the side was good enough. Okay that's Miyuki
-What! It also helped, unexpectedly in this village there are users allowed to recreate. But .... you're not looking for a courtesy, are you?
-Yes! What I want to ask is about what happened in that cave.
-What?
-At the moment my teacher and I ran up, a swirling cloud of clouds appeared in the sky as if there was going to be a tornado, but the next thing that happened was a large lightning strike on the cave. It could be assumed that it was made by a devil. But of the three of you, none were injured and struck by lightning, and the devil lay right under that large hole. How are you going to explain this?
-.....- At that time, I could only keep silent because what he said had overwhelmed me
-Of course ..... you have 2 systems, right? I have already asked your teacher about the magic system of all three.
-What ... why do you think that? What if someone is there to help us too?
-You said, "what if", he didn't dare to confirm that there was a 4th person there. You lied so bad. Now then .... answer me, do you own two magic systems? - Miyuki suddenly threatened with a voice that left me unable to do anything but nod- So he was right. mental arithmetic
- He? - I asked bewildered
- None of your business. Goodbye, we'll see you again. - After Miyuki finished speaking, she faded into the night.
That night story made me wonder what kind of demon hunters were ultimately. {Gruh} Suddenly I felt a tickle on my face, as if something was licking my face. I gradually opened my eyes, and the dawn's sunlight shone through the gap of the door, making me fully aware that I had unconsciously fallen asleep sometime last night. The creature that licked my face up till now was a cat, I picked it up and sat up. This cat makes me feel strangely familiar. I looked at his necklace and saw the small cat sign on the sign.
- "Spix" the name is quite funny with a cute kitten like you. - I mumbled while watching it lick my index finger.
-Nyan ~~~
Putting the cat on the floor, I opened the door to catch the early morning sunlight. There were still a few drops of water on the foliage that indicated a light rain last night. As a habit, I stretched my body to stretch my muscles, but also regretted doing so my left arm hurt. At that moment I saw the figure of someone running over, the girl's granddaughter, Chika. She kept looking at it all the time, seemingly looking for something.
- Good morning! - I walked over to try talking to her
-Good morning! Brother...
-Is Kazuto. So what's wrong?
-Yes ... did you see the Spix? I've been looking for it up till now and can't find it anywhere. Usually he stays next to me but today ....
-Spix? I mean the white-haired cat.
-Yes! Do you know where it is?
-Well, it's been in your room for a while now.
-So! If so, I'm sorry!
-Hum? Why?
-Because ... because Spix bit you.
-I'm so strange. It did not bite me.
-Heh !? Really? Fortunately, Spix often bites strangers when approaching. So it was strange that he didn't bite it.
-Haha ..... is that so.
After saying that, I took her to my room, Spix immediately jumped right after seeing her and licked her face. I find it quite interesting that this is a cat but behaves like a dog.
-A! Tý, I forgot. Rin says if you see me get up then ask me to come to the backyard to talk to him.
-Really. Thank you for informing me.
-Nothing! So I'm leaving ... hihi tickles, Spix.
Going back and forth, I felt like an offender being interrogated continuously. I sighed, opened the door to the backyard and as I expected, Rin was standing against the wall, folded her arms, her eyes thoughtful as if thinking about something.
-Is it coming? I have something to ask you.
-Well, I guess what you're going to ask but keep asking.
-Hm ... you ... well, thanks anyway, for risking your life to save me and Yumi. Although not entirely, I am sure only good people dare to do so.
-So you already believe me?
-Still not.
-He?
—At least, until he explained his magic. And now I'm going to my room.
Then Kaito woke up, he yawned and wondered why he woke up so early. While still bewildered, Kaito took the coat, stuck his hand into his pocket, and pulled out a brooch. Kaito was still daydreaming, rubbing his eyes several times and thinking about something. {JAM} "DEAD !!!" - Kaito slammed his head on the floor and tried not to scream. Only then did he realize that I forgot to give Mika the hairpin I bought for her last night. Kaito repeatedly scratched his hair, blaming himself for his forgetfulness. "Dammit! This goldfish brain idiot! What time is it? Or just wait until Mika wakes up then I give. No no! That is what the romantic element is. Right! I could break into her room and leave the brooch with the message. It's correct! It's correct! Yumi is also not in the same room as Mika right now so it should be fine. It should be alright .... right? Oh my God, what the hell do I think thaptay thuyt, only his feeling at this moment of fear, fear of being discovered. Kaito walked gingerly, trying hard not to make a sound for Mika to wake up. Mika was still sleeping soundly and hugging her pillow tightly. Seeing Mika's appearance almost made Kaito laugh but he managed to resist. Kaito placed the brooch on the table near the bed with the note "Sorry for the late gift." Thinking that everything was at hand when suddenly grabbing Kaito's wrist, he turned around in a start, and turned out to be Mika. Thinking he had been discovered, Kaito was dumbfounded at that time.
-Aww ... where are you running, bear hug?
-He? - Kaito realized only now that Mika was dreaming
Kaito was breathing a sigh of relief, when suddenly Mika pulled him, he jumped up onto the bed, face to face Mika, who still hugged him like a teddy bear. But his happy moment lasted only a few seconds. Just then Mika woke up, staring at Kaito with her eyes open.
-Ch .... Good morning ..... haha ... ha ...
-O ... ơ .... Ááááááá !!!
Hearing the scream, I and a few other people rushed to see how it goes. Initially thinking of something serious, Mr. Gaido immediately kicked the door in. But the next thing we saw was that Mika was grabbing all the things within her reach and throwing her back and forth at Kaito. And finally, the whole day, Kaito was fined to clean the inn. That night, the 5 of us gathered in my room because Mika said there was an important announcement.
-OK. Since it's all packed, I'll start with the main thing. Does anyone believe in ghosts?
-He?
-Yes, ghosts. This afternoon when I went to buy something I heard rumors of ghosts at an abandoned school in the forest. There was a woodcutter who went into the forest and saw a white ghost go through that window.
-So go there. - Kaito said
- What if Gaido doesn't give it? We can't go out at night without permission.
-So just run away, okay? Everyone is curious, right?
Yumi and I nodded, but Rin suddenly got up to open the door.
-I'm not taking this silly part. Goodbye.
-You don't want to join because you're not interested or because you're scared of ghosts?
Kaito's sarcastic comment made Rin freeze. Then he softly closed the door and sat down.
-I'm not afraid of some psychic things.
-Yes, then we believe it, that's true. So let's go!
After that, we took 2 kerosene lamps and sneaked past us by climbing over the wall behind the house. The breeze blowing made me feel a bit chill, but since Yumi kept hiding behind me, I still tried to look fearless. But because of that, during the journey, Rin kept glaring at me, eyes filled with killing intent.
-What's wrong Mika? Don't tell me that the person who started this is scared.- Kaito spoke up after seeing Mika's hand, now holding the lamp and leading the way, trembling.
-So ... then I don't think I'll go this evening.
-That's because it feels like going into this evening .....
-Huh? Why don't you say anything else?
-Hehe! - Kaito lowered his face, smiled slightly
-Hey, I'm not kidding.
-Hehe!
-Hey, Kaito you got lost ..
-SCREAMED!!
-A! - Mika yelled and threw the lamp away, but fortunately Rin caught it
-Hahahaha !! I knew she would be scared right away. Haha ... oh my stomach.
-He....
-It looks like it's coming. - Rin's statement made all 4 of us turn to the direction he pointed at
In front of us was an old school, probably abandoned for decades.
-What is this ... a few seconds ago it was not here. - Mika cannot seem to be scared of this mysterious thing.
Yumi also grabbed my shirt tightly. Only Kaito and Rin still moved forward like this was no different from a sightseeing trip.
-Come on, what are you doing standing there? If you are slow, you will be left behind.
{Safe} Opening the door to the old hall was a lot of dust hitting the face, looking inside would be no different from a normal school without dirt covering it.
"That's strange," Rin said, wiping the dust on the wall with her hand. "If this place is really deserted, why don't anyone know about it before but there have been a few rumors recently."
- Could it be ... a ghost school? Hey Yumi I ... I'm bored, you come back with me.
-Yes.
"Hey, are you shy?" Kaito sighed
- Our shelf.
After Mika finished speaking, the door suddenly slammed shut, making Yumi and Mika super lost in spirit. Hug each other and sit down.
-You will not go anywhere ....- Suddenly a whispering voice passed through our ears, making me feel chills down to the bone marrow.
"Can you hear that?" Kaito asked
-Yes! Go!
-Hey, are you going to go again? Are you warm-headed?
-So you two just sit there.
-That's it .... Ah! - A passing breeze brought "die!" Into Mika and Yumi's ears, making both of them afraid of pale -... Thinking about it, we'll go along. ... should wait.
Going into the row of classrooms, the eerie, narrow feeling of this place makes me feel like I'm walking in the prison corridor instead of a school. There were a few times we tried opening classrooms but all of them couldn't open even without a lock or lock. Near the end of the corridor, we saw a door opening slowly as if inviting us. Walking towards the doorway, in front of us was a girl who looked 1.2 years younger than us, wearing a school uniform standing by the window and looking up at the night sky. The special thing about her body is that it's half transparent and half tangible.
-Well ... you fools ... tell me what you came here for ... and then ... go die!
