Chapter 1 - The job

In the foggy night,

you could hear her little footsteps and frantic breathing.

She yelps,

"Help!"

"Help!"

A figure of a man with a knife appears behind her.

"Please!"

She screams.

Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

" Ugh…." 

She groans. 

"This alarm clock!"

She pats her mattress frantically.

 " Where's my phone?!"

" Agh! First my limited edition Pikucha merch, then my Nontinde switch, now my phone?!" 

" Who is taking all my stuff?!"

" Yorokobi, I'm headed out now! Don't forget to buy the tomatoes!"

Yorokobi's mother requests.

"Yeah yeah, bye mom!"

Yorokobi gets off her bed,

"Better get going now."

 On her way to the local shopping district, Yorokobi comes across an interesting flyer.

*Crunch*

She steps on the flyer.

" What's this?"

 

 In a dark alleyway a few moments ago the point of view changes to a tall dark haired girl, she seems to be annoyed.

 " Machiko. "

She speaks to the girl beside her.

Machiko, distracted by a passing butterfly, does not hear her.

"Machiko!"

The girl screams, even more annoyed

" What?"

Machiko replies calmly, she seems to be used to the girl being annoyed.

" Where is the flyer, the big boss, Kamikono printed out?"

The girl asked

" What?" 

Machiko asked

" You know, the one we were supposed to burn because we didn't need it anymore."

" The flyer, flyer, flyer, flyer… Oh that!"

Machiko said enthusiastically

"... I think I dropped it…"

 

The girl sighs and calmly asks

" Well, where did you drop it?" 

 In the present moment, the point of view changes back to Yorokobi.

*Crunch*

Yorokobi steps on a flyer.

"What's this?"

She picks up the flyer.

" 'Attention! In desperate need of employees for a job that includes exc-"

Yorokobi is interrupted by the screaming of a girl, she looks around the age of thirteen to fifteen years old.

" Waaaait!" 

She screams. Oh, it looks like she's that girl from the alleyway!

 *Pant*

" Excuse my-"

*Pant*

"Excuse my rudeness, My name is Alice Alans, you can refer to me as Alice. Also, could you please hand that over?"

" This?"

 Yorokobi refers to the flyer.

" Yes, please now could you just-"

Alice is interrupted by Yorokobi.

" Why?"

Yorokobi asks.

"Well it's something that belongs to me so could you just-"

Yorokobi interrupts her again.

" I picked it up, it should belong to me now."

Alice tries to grab the flyer but Yorokobi is still holding on to it.

 " Could you just give it while I'm asking nicely?"

" No, so give it to me!"

Yorokobi snatches the flyer from Alice. I'm surprised the flyer is still in perfect condition.

Yorokobi holds the flyer in one hand and holds Alice away from her in the other.

" Now let's see… Attention in desperate need of employees for a job that includes…"

Yorokobi pauses, shocked as she reads.

" Exorcism of ghosts?!"

Alice, annoyed, says

" That's why I said not to read it."

She sighs and says,

" Could you just give it back?"

Yorokobi, somewhat guilty, yet annoyed, gives her the flyer.

" Machiko, let's go."

Alice mutters,

"Why did you have to drop it? Now we're gonna get in trouble."

 On her way home, Yorokobi's guilt built up and she decided what she was going to do.

 The next day, Yorokobi appears to be in front of a shop? Or maybe an apartment? Either way, she is in front of a building with a sign that reads, 'Kamikaze apartment'. She barges into the building and makes an announcement.

"I want a job here!"
