Kamiyagawa was still puzzled.
Buzz, buzz.
At that moment, the cell phone vibrated.
A friend request on Line popped up.
The person requesting to add Kamiyagawa as a friend had an avatar of a very literary young girl.
Attached in the request note was this message—
[Hello, Kamiyagawa-san, I am Ishino Sayuri. Although it's rather presumptuous, Nagatomo Masao and I would like to discuss a matter with you.]
The wording was very polite, with honorifics used.
"Ishino Sayuri, the girl who became possessed by Hanako's spirit through the hearing aid, what does she want with me?"
Kamiyagawa's doubts weren't cleared up, but it would do no harm to accept a living person's friend request.
As soon as the verification went through, a message came from Ishino: "Hello, Kamiyagawa-san."
"Mm, hello to you too. #smileyface," Kamiyagawa casually replied.
Ishino: "I apologize, but I obtained Kamiyagawa-san's phone and Line details without permission from one of your classmates."
