episode_0215

The three of us shared the fainted rain and started looking for a place to rest.

No matter how old the building was, there was sure to be a bed or sofa somewhere inside the school.

Even if it’s an old thing covered in dust.

Since the rain didn’t weigh much, Shine, Appleton, and I could easily lift and move it.

After walking for a while and opening the door to a place that said “health room,” a strangely cold wind blew from inside.

“Hic…”

He flinches with a hissing sound.

It felt like someone had licked the back of my neck.

“There’s a bed over there.”

Appleton pointed to a corner of the good room.

As she said, there was a bed covered with pure white sheets.

It’s a clean, new white horse.

I felt strange about the bed that looked spotless, but first, I had to lay Rain down.

Push the torn curtain aside and lift Rain onto the bed.

“Hmm… What should I do?”

I sat on the bed and thought.

I wanted to get out of here quickly, but there was no way of knowing when Rain would wake up.

I looked at Appleton in silence.

She was walking around with her camera in hand, taking pictures here and there.

To win the bet, I needed to take pictures of other places, but I couldn’t leave Lane behind.

But I was worried that if I sent Appleton alone, a ghost would come and take her away.

Eventually we decided to wait for Rain to wake up.

“Rain.”

I lay down next to Rain and pressed her soft cheek.

Cheeks and fingers that go in smoothly.

Small lips that let out a faint moan as if responding to my touch.

But still, Rain did not wake up.

How much time has passed?

I was rolling around on the bed, and I started to nod off as the drowsiness slowly crept over me.

On her slowly shaking head, white hair fluttered.

“Jeff.”

“Ugh…”

“If we keep going like this, it’ll be too late. Should Appleton and I just take some pictures and come back?”

“Oh, no!”

I shook my head in surprise at Shine’s words.

If Shine and Appleton were going to take pictures, I would have to be alone in this scary place with a distraught Lane.

If a ghost had appeared in the meantime, I thought I would lose my mind like Rain.

Then it was clear that Rain and I would be dragged away by some terrifying ghost and eaten in a horrible way.

“Rain! Rain! Rain!”

I started to wake up Rain urgently.

As I held her shoulders and rocked her back and forth, her soft cheeks and golden hair flew in all directions.

But Rain didn’t wake up.

Eventually I decided to use my abilities.

I have never used my powers to wake up someone who has fallen.

So, that means you don’t know how much you should adjust your abilities.

Then, a familiar method comes to mind.

So that people don’t get hurt and can wake up feeling good.

I fired the lightning bolt, thinking about the swimming pool.

The blue light that flowed through the tip of her finger entered Rain’s body.

Pajijik- Rain’s body begins to tremble with a small noise.

The small tremors grew louder and louder, and Rain’s mouth slowly began to open.

and.

A voice flowed from her mouth.

“Aaang…”

The groan, filled with a strange trembling, poured into my face along with hot breath.

I let go of Rain’s shoulder without moving.

Thanks to my ability, she was able to wake up.

Exhaling a breath of moonlight, cheeks slightly flushed.

And even the eyes that were languidly lowered.

She was looking around with blurry eyes.

“Yeah.. Huh. Where is this… Where is this?”

Lane said, slowly getting up.

I moved urgently and quickly got off her body.

Rain groaned faintly and flinched intermittently, as if he still didn’t know what was happening to his body.

“Oh, that. That’s the good room.”

“Good room?”

“Yeah. You suddenly collapsed…”

Lane frowned and held his head as if trying to recall a memory from just before he collapsed.

“Jeff, I told you not to use that.”

As I was blankly staring at the flustered Rain, Shine came up to me and spoke.

Her eyes were focused on my hands.

As I moved my hand slightly, Shine took a step back.

“Ugh, ugh. Sorry. But I thought I had to wake up Rain…”

I bowed my head to Shine’s words.

I was clearly a bad kid because I couldn’t keep my promise to Shine.

She said.

Don’t use this technique.

But I, who am afraid of ghosts, could not keep her word and used this technique to wake up Rain.

I managed to wake up Rain, but Shine must have been disappointed in me.

“Jeff. Lift your head. It’s okay. Can you use that on yourself too?”

“Uh, uh. I guess it’s possible…”

“Really?”

I raised my head and looked at Shine.

She was looking at me with the look in her eyes as if she had discovered a fun toy.

As I was hesitating, Shine leaned closer and whispered in my ear.

“Then, do you want to try using it later when we’re alone?”

“That, that’s…”

“You broke your promise. So you deserve to be punished.”

“Ha, but isn’t the punishment supposed to come from someone like Amy…?”

“Jeff. Isn’t Amy older than you?”

I nodded to Shine’s words.

Her lips come close to touching my ear.

“Let me ask you something. Are you older than your sister?”

“Ugh… Yeah…”

A voice whispering in my ear, and a faint breath.

The feeling of soft lips gently touching.

All those sounds seemed to be tormenting my brain.

I flinched and barely managed to spit out an answer.

“Jeff is the younger brother. I am the older sister. So it is only natural that Jeff should be punished by me, the older sister, right?”

“That, that’s…”

“Jeff said, the only one who can punish you is someone higher up like Amy. I’m your older sister, so I can punish you too, right?”

Is that so? Is that really so?

I just nodded blankly at Shine’s words.

When I heard it, it seemed like that.

Anyway, I broke my promise with Shine, so I had to be punished.

“Yeah… I think so.”

“Jeff is a good kid.”

Shine whispered softly and gave me a little kiss on the ear.

A loud thud shook my brain.

It was as if she had literally kissed my brain.

My legs gave out, and I swayed and leaned against Shine.

“Ugh…”

“Shall we take a break?”

“Yeah…”

I nodded to Shaan’s words and went to sit on a nearby chair.

It was a little uncomfortable because the chair didn’t have a backrest, but it was better than standing.

Appleton was snapping a bunch of pictures of Lane flinching.

Rain moved around with a sad expression, wrapped in a white sheet.

“Hey guys… I’m weird… Ah-”

Rain was confused.

I was gasping for breath, not even knowing what was happening to my body.

After a short while, she seemed to have calmed down somewhat and was able to get out of bed.

“Sorry. I guess I was feeling under the weather for a bit.”

Rain said, caressing his reddened cheek.

“Are you okay now? Can you move?”

“Whoa- Yeah!”

Lane took a deep breath at my question and shouted confidently.

Although a faint flush remained, there seemed to be no problem moving around.

We decided to move on to take more pictures.

I decided to unfold the sheet that Rain had wrapped around his body.

This was because I was afraid that any ghosts that might use this place would get angry if they found the bed in disarray.

Knock knock-

I patted the pure white sheet and nodded with a satisfied expression.

There were a few areas that were a little damp, but there was nothing wrong.

At least that’s what it seemed to me.

I hope Mr. Ghost doesn’t mind those white spots.

“Jeff. Are you done?”

“Yeah.”

I answered Shine and ran to her.

Shine, who had been waiting for me at the door, reached out her hand as I approached and naturally linked arms with me.

I too have come to naturally accept that behavior, which has now become so familiar to me.

Nothing special happened after that.

I wander around and take pictures.

There was a plaster statue in the art room that was staring at me with a menacing gaze, but I could bear it because Shine had covered it with a white cloth.

“Did you take all the pictures?”

“Yeah.”

Appleton looked at the photos stored on the camera with a satisfied expression.

There were also a lot of pictures of me taken in between.

“I think I took too many pictures of myself…”

“No. This isn’t enough. I wish I had taken more pictures.”

As I muttered while looking at Appleton’s camera, Shine rubbed her cheek against mine and said,

A small laugh escaped my lips at the ticklish sensation.

Appleton didn’t miss that moment either.

“Did you just take a picture of that too?”

“Yeah.”

Appleton sent Shine only the photos he had taken of me on his phone.

Shine, who received the photo, nodded with a satisfied expression.

“Send me too!”

Rain also received my photo.

I watched the two of them in silence, then approached Appleton and whispered to her in a small voice.

“Excuse me, excuse me. Could you send me the pictures you took of Rain when he was on the bed earlier?”

Because I spoke in the quietest voice possible, Rain and Shine didn’t seem to hear me.

At first, the two people didn’t even look this way because they were checking the photos sent to their phones.

“Yeah. I’ll send Jeff too.”

Appleton, who was quick-witted, answered in a low voice like mine and sent me a bunch of pictures of Lane on my phone.

It was a satisfying day for everyone.

Appleton got a bunch of photos to prove there were no ghosts, and Lane and Shine got a bunch of photos of me.

I was also satisfied because I got a lot of cute pictures of Rain.

As we were trying to leave the old school building, the moment we came down the stairs and turned the corner, we ran into an unexpected person.

“Gasp!”

When I was so surprised that I swallowed my breath and jumped up, the person in front of me also seemed so surprised that he dropped the flashlight he was holding.

“What, what is it!”

The dark-colored uniform and the radio vest worn over it indicated that he was a security guard patrolling this area.

He immediately stepped back as if he was on guard when he saw us, but then he let out a sigh of relief as he seemed to notice that we were wearing school uniforms.

“Hey, guys? How did you get in here? Didn’t you see the sign that says “No Trespassing”?”

The security guard picked up the flashlight that had fallen on the floor and spoke to us.

A white, glowing light illuminates the surroundings.

Because of the light, I couldn’t see the guard’s face clearly, but I sighed in relief when I realized it wasn’t a ghost.

“Hmm…”

Shine looked up at the security guard with her arms crossed at his words.

A brief silence follows.

“Let’s go.”

“Huh? Wait. Is it okay if I just go?”

Shine didn’t answer.

Just grabbed me, Lane, and Appleton and ran out of there.

The security guard looked at us from behind, but he said nothing more.

I just stared at it for a while, then turned around and slowly walked away.

After we left the old school building and crossed the fence and returned to the school, we parted ways with Appleton.

Because I had to explain to Shandroy and Grandpa Ferman what I had done in the restricted area.

“See you later!”

I waved goodbye to Appleton and headed to the teachers’ office.

When we arrived at the principal’s office, we started a video call with my grandfather and explained what had happened there.

[Are you saying you went in because of the photo?]

“Yes!”

[At a friend’s request?]

“Yes!”

[So, did you get what you wanted?]

“Yes!”

[Then it is fine.]

And so the short video call with my grandfather ended.

After the call, I asked Shandroy about the security guard I saw there.

“Shandroy. Do you know who the security guard is over there? He was a bit weird, but we messed up his bed sheets. I think you should buy him a new one.”

As I said that, I thought about the security guard.

The security guard was taller than us, he was a man.

And the shoes were also very big.

The footprints in the art room were definitely his.

The bed in the infirmary was also clearly one he had used.

He must have skipped patrol time and taken a nap there.

I nodded, thinking to myself.

As expected, there was no ghost.

“Huh? A security guard? There’s no security there?”

“… Yes?”

I swallowed dry saliva at Shandroy’s words.

So who was it that we saw then?

When Shandroy saw my expression harden, he immediately called people over and sent them to the old school building to search it thoroughly.

But I couldn’t find the person who appeared to be the security guard I was talking about.

In the end, the events of that day remained a mystery.

I couldn’t tell if the security guard was a ghost or an intruder disguised as a security guard, but I couldn’t help but tremble because I thought the security guard I saw then was a ghost.

Even after returning to headquarters, finishing my work, and lying down in bed, the thought still lingered in my mind.

I curled up in my bed, buried in my soft blanket.

You have to forget it. You have to forget it.

But when I closed my eyes, the tall security guard that came to mind did not disappear.

After spending a long time without being able to sleep, I suddenly felt the need to go to the bathroom.

“Um…”

If it were my usual self, I would have gotten out of bed, rubbed my eyes, and headed to the bathroom.

But now it seemed a little difficult.

I sat on the bed and looked around at my dark surroundings, cringing.

It’s urgent… I have to go quickly…

But my body, so scared, didn’t move.

Eventually, I started shaking Shine, who was sleeping next to me, awake.

“Over there… Shine…”

She woke up with her eyes wide open at the slight shaking.

I was dumbfounded by her movements as she got up, as if she had been waiting for me.

“Why? What’s the problem?”

“I, I need to go to the bathroom…”

“But?”

“Hey, come with me…”

Shine glanced at Amy, who was fast asleep, listening to my words.

Shine, who had been looking at Amy for a long time, turned his head and spoke to me.

“Jeff asked you to go with him?”

“Ugh, uh.”

Shine came down from the bed while holding my hand.
