While Megami felt annoyed and angered, to think that she a daughter of a prestigious family would be forced to stay with someone so uncaring and dangerous left her feeling extremely reluctant, even if she didn't show it much, the reason she was here wasn't to actively cause trouble but to explore the manor as well.
maybe it was unfitting for a lady of wealthy heritage like her to take up such a fiendish hobby, but ever since she was a child, she always had a special place in her heart for the paranormal.
Even when she was shunned by her family because of it, she still didn't give it up.
Though alone, she felt a sense of belonging towards it, with her cold personality and sense of superiority, she seldom spent time with others.
Even though she joined the paranormal club, it was all due to her love for it and nothing else.
" Did anyone of you even care to ask for my opinion!" Megami exclaimed, feeling irritated once more but her burning anger was quickly extinguished by Yūrei's cold gaze.
" If your not willing to comply then I think it's best you start heading home.... " Megami remained silent, Yūrei stared at her for a while before turning towards Su Jiang.
"Don't you think your maybe bullying her just a little bit?" Though unwilling to offend such a dangerous person, Jesse still couldn't stand it seeing just how Megami was being treated, her heart skipped a beat when she saw Yūrei suddenly making his way towards her, she was naturally frightened but even then she still stood her ground though shaking lightly.
Hayami tried making her way towards Yūrei, fearing he might do something else but Su Jiang suddenly held her back, she wanted to retort but seeing his reassuring gaze, she soon relented, staying still were she was.
" Well if it isn't Miss Jessie, come to butt in again like you always do?" Yūrei silently made his way towards her, a slight frown on his cold face.
"No matter, I was expecting you to stand up for her" he let out a breath, his figure now standing before her.
"Come on Jesse you know me, you know the type of person I am don't you?, do I look like someone who'd enjoy getting a kick out of this?"to her astonishment, Yūrei leaned towards her ear whispering, unlike earlier his voice sounded far more reluctant as if he himself was actually unwilling to do this as well which stunned the shaking girl who thought wrong.
His soft words seemed to have an effect on her. _i think his right..., Yūrei wouldn't normally do something like this would he?_ She felt conflicted, on one hand he was acting a bit unruly while you n the other hand he seemed to be doing it for a reason?, just what was he doing she thought.
_ Since I've known him, though just classmates, am sure he isn't such an unruly person.._ leaving her to contemplate Yūrei made his way back towards Megami, he casually gripped her hand once more as if him leaving never happened, Megami on the other hand felt completely helpless and indigent.
"I think that's the end of that so, Can we begin now?" Yūrei glanced towards Su Jiang.
"Oh, of course!, let's get this show on the road, The manors architectural structure is already loaded into your Daisy techs gps trackers so I don't think anyone would get lost unless they made an effort to do so"
"Yūrei you and Megami will check upstairs, Hayami and I will check the rest room, kitchens, and bathrooms, Michael and Jesse thankfully the manor doesn't have a basement so you both will have to make due with downstairs, that seems fair enough, so let's begin"
"Uhhh wait a moment!, I think we should try another way" Yūrei suddenly retorted.
"And pray tail what way are you thinking of?"though confused by why'd he'd disagree, Su Jiang couldn't help feeling intrigued all the same.
" I hate to admit it but earlier Micheal was undoubtedly right, it did look like I was harassing Megami-Chan, leaving the two of us alone would only cause more complications to arise so I suggest that someone else comes with us"
"Since Michael-San was so determined to stop me it goes to show that his the most suitable candidate don't you think, so why not he join me and Megami-Chan in clearing the lower floors while you, Hayami and Jesse clear the upper floors?"
"Huh?!, But Why would you suggest such a thing?!" Su Jiang who was naturally unwilling interjected.
" It's like I said, having one more person along will only serve as proof that I have no nefarious plans against our unruly princess don't you think?"
" Yes but why Micheal..."
_ Why not me~_ Hayami wanted to retort but.
" I think that's a great idea!, I agree with Yūrei, let the three of us go together it'll be far more safer plus, it is pretty reasonable and I can make sure this asshole doesn't try anything of the sort...and additionally...." Micheal replied a slight smile on his face as he slowly made his way towards Yūrei, though still suffering from the immense pain on the outside, he looked far more calm than he should've, as if he wasn't all that affected.
"I can also get my revenge in there as well..."
"Hahahaha you must be kidding, I'd really like to see how that's going to be possible..." Yūrei smiled lightly seemingly not bothered in the slightest.
"Then just wait and see..." Micheal grumbled.
"Will do..." Yūrei nodded lightly in acknowledgement.
They both stared silently into each other's eyes, neither moving in the slightest, a Giant staring coldly towards a Beast, both formidable in their own way but neither willing to back down.
"Ok! ok! let's settle down before the both of you ruin our event" Hayami tried cooling the two of them off before a fight broke out.
"Come on, Hayami's right you two, no frowning allowed, isn't this supposed to be a celebration, am sure you two wouldn't frown at one so why not try getting along please?" Su Jiang tried quelling them, placing his hands on both their shoulders. Yūrei remained silent while Micheal shrugged off Su Jiang's hand, his eyes still showed an unwillingness to back down.
_ This is bad!, if those two start fighting inside the manor am afraid being scared would be the least of our problems _ Su Jiang felt conflicted about this but seeing Yūrei's reassuring gaze he soon calmed down.
" Sigh..., since that's all taken care of, I think it's time we let the exploration begin!" Hayami and Su Jiang said excitedly but their reluctant eyes were still lingering towards Yūrei who stood beside Megami, staring intently like little kids who's candy was stolen by someone else.
