episode_0019

Suzume dropped the spoon she was holding.

Eyes shaking as if shocked.

It appears that Kanna’s pupils are also dilated.

“Hey, can I come in?”

Inaba, who was twisting his hair as if he was a little embarrassed by the gaze, opened his mouth.

“Um, is this strange?”

I shook my head at Inaba.

It’s the same as always.

It’s just incredibly dazzling.

“No. If you suddenly open the door and King Kong comes out, you’ll be surprised”

“Eek! I’m King Kong?”

“Um”

I looked at Suzume and Kanna for a moment.

I’m drooling.

“Almost Godzilla”

“Hing..I came here on purpose to decorate after the club activities were over”

“…?Why bother?”

You did such a useless thing. Inaba?

It goes without saying that a beautiful girl’s body type has value in itself.

You’re lowering your own value.

“More, because it’s hot!”

Suzume’s focus returned as if she had developed some tolerance for Inaba’s shouting.

“Ah.Um.Uh…you can come in.”

“Thank you. Then”

“It’s like we’re meeting face to face and I’ll introduce you. Inaba”

“Sitting over here is Suzume Kawasaki”

“Hello. Oh my!”

“My father’s pet is bowing his head on the other side. Megumi Kanna.”

“……”

Instead of answering, he nodded slightly.

Is this how it feels when Assa sits opposite Insa?

I feel like I have committed some crime.

As the two people’s eyes turned to Inaba, I thought it would be long, so I started first.

“Since this is your first time here, Inaba?”

“Yes”

“Could you please introduce yourself? I think they would both like it better if you introduced them”

“Ah. My name is Ayame Inaba from class 1-5. Thank you very much.”

“Ugh, sorry about earlier… I guess it was beyond what I expected. I couldn’t react.”

“Ahaha..”

Kanna, who had been sitting quietly earlier, approached Inaba.

“Ka, kalong jjing!”

Inaba with a surprised expression

Kanna opened her mouth, turning her head to ignore Suzume’s cries of betrayal.

“I like you…no need for Suzume…”

Hoo

“That’s great. Capturing Kanna right away”

“Is that so? Because I don’t know much”

The longing gaze from earlier disappeared and hostility overflowed in Suzume’s eyes.

“I don’t acknowledge you yet!”

“Yes?”

“I will decide after looking at today’s activities. Do you have the courage to join this ghost story club?”

Qualification requirements that did not exist were created.

This is why family clubs are not allowed.

I’m so swept up in my emotions.

“Hey Suzume. There was such a thing?”

“Yes, Mr. Sasaki. Of course!”

“So does Kanna meet the conditions?”

“Of course……this is an exception as it is for new members only!”

“Oh my gosh”

“Eight. So what? Are you going to take the test?”

Inaba, who was quietly listening to Suzume’s words, looked at me for a moment and nodded.

“I also like ghost stories. Above all”

“More than anything?”

He hugged Kanna in his arms.

“Because I have such cute classmates”

“Uh…?”

“Ah..”

“? why. Isn’t Megumi-san cute?”

Inaba tilted his head while massaging his cheek like a steamed bun.

“No. It’s not like that. Kanna is a second year”

“He’s small, but he’s the same age as me. Ayame-san”

“…? Eh! Lie!”

“Even if you say that, you’re still in second grade”

“It’s so small and cute?”

I declared to Inaba, who looked at me and asked for my consent.

“Kanna is in second grade. So what you are doing now is massaging a senior who is one grade higher”

“That’s right! So quickly give me back my carongjjing!”

Inaba pretended not to hear Suzume reacting violently and turned his head in the opposite direction.

Was it Inaba that was captured, not Kanna?

“Is it Kanna?”

How did you come up with a new horse?

“Yes, yes. I…I want to be Inaba’s friend..”

“Right? He’s our friend. Did you hear? It’s okay because we’re friends.”

“Profit!”

I watched the three people as they picked up the snacks on the table and ate them.

Inaba’s affinity is no joke.

All three of them are now calling each other by their first names.

I don’t know if Inaba induced it naturally or by chance.

“How about doing it like this? I have a day. Suzume is a day?”

“No, no. I had it first. Two days for me. You have a good day”

These are words that, if someone hears them, they will mistake them for human trafficking.

Suddenly, Kanna left the two people and sat down next to them.

It’s noisy.

Still, it’s nice that it’s crowded.

I want to play Love Jenga right now, but I can’t say anything, right? I can’t do it either.

The gender ratio is also more perfect than before, at 1:3.

＊＊＊

I was thinking of sleeping well.

In the end, I ended up playing straight.

Since Inaba is a talented person, he definitely controls Suzume well.

After all, an ordinary person can’t beat the physical strength of a child exercising.

Play until 10pm.

I finally opened the door and came out of the clubroom.

A hallway full of silence.

Any pretense of popularity that remained before coming in has disappeared.

I lowered my head.

There is definitely something spooky about night school.

Yesterday I went out at night too.

I wasn’t feeling well because I was tired.

“Suzume?”

“Yes?”

“Is that really safe?”

I pointed to the old school building outside the window.

A wooden wall unique to an old building and a tumble climbing up it.

Things weathered over time can be seen here and there.

The building that was used before the current campus, which is the new school building, was built.

Although it is still used for practice and other purposes, it is true that the number of visitors has decreased compared to the past.

I moaned softly without realizing it.

If this place is just spooky, something will really happen if you go there.

A visual that looks like something from a horror movie.

Suzume’s gaze also trembled, but I can see her shaking her head.

In fact, I think I like it a little bit.

“Dang, of course. Mr. Sasaki. Isn’t that right?”

“…Yeah, right”

Was it something like that?

Inaba’s expression clearly appears to have hardened.

This is me, but if something comes out there, I can scream like a woman.

Kanna is already glued to my back.

“Shall we go then…?”

“..Yes”

“G, are you really going?”

Why do you keep asking me if I’m going, Suzume?

Now, you’re probably not waiting for Inaba to say he’s giving up.

I moved forward first.

If you’re late, you’re guaranteed to be late tomorrow as well.

“Let’s go”

It’s scary though.

It’s a crow that comes out from there.

“Eh, wait a minute! Teacher”

＊＊＊

The door of the old school building is locked.

I think I locked it when I got home from work.

“Haha I can’t help this. Mr. Sasaki. Inaba, you did a good job too. Today’s club activities will end here”

“Then what about the test?”

“Of course I failed. You worked really hard today. Ayame-san”

Once again, Suzume is seen behaving like a vulgar by adding the title ‘san’ to the end of her name.

I didn’t even think that the door to this building would be open.

The old school building is also a school building.

Checking that it was locked, I took out what I had in my pocket.

“Don’t worry about that, Suzume”

“Yes, why? It’s because of the club’s activities. Don’t worry about that. I will do it on my own and with good sense. Hehe”

“No. I’m a teacher too, Suzume? I don’t know where to start, but first of all, I have the key to the former teacher”

“Eck, that’s ridiculous. ”

” That doesn’t make sense. Unlike you, I received it legally directly from the student dean.”

“Chiit”

“I said I would clean the old school hall while receiving this. That’s good. I just decided who to order, Suzume”

“…?”

I grabbed Suzume’s shoulder as she tilted her head as if she didn’t know anything.

“Please take care of me. Do you remember what I said just now? Take care of yourself and have good sense. You can do that”

I left the shocked Suzume behind and went through the door of the old school building and went inside.

Footprints of three people standing in surprise.

As soon as I reached the hall, I stopped and turned around.

“Then Suzume, Kanna. Inaba?”

“Yay”

“…Yes”

“Yes”

“Now, let’s start exploring the old school building. Let’s split into two. I don’t know where it will appear, so do you have any questions?”

When he shook his head, I told him the team I had in mind.

“First, Suzume and Kanna”

“Yes!”

“Ha, hao..”

“Me and Inaba. Two like this. Suzume explores the second floor and I explore the first floor. After each exploration, let’s gather here again. Oki?”

“”Yes””

Suzume shouts out the answer and quickly leaves the hall, keeping Inaba in check.

Suzume went ahead, dragging Kanna behind her.

As the sound of footsteps grew further away, I began to speak.

“Then, shall we go? Inaba?”

“Yes, Mr. Sasaki”

I stared down the school hallway.

Is this the old school at night?

The sound effect is spot on.

The sound of water heard from somewhere.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

The sound of wind leaking through the windows.

Creaking sound.

It’s completely dark.

I couldn’t see even an inch in front of me, so I had to turn on the flashlight on my cell phone that I could barely see in front of me.

Now that I think about it, I remember something I didn’t say.

“Ah. thinking about it. I couldn’t deliver it to Suzume”

“Which one, Mr. Sasaki”

“I did some research”

In a past life

“Because the old building is an old building, there is not just one wonder. Inaba”

“You’re teasing me on purpose. I’m scared”

“No”

Inaba swallows his saliva at my serious face.

gulp

“I don’t play around with things like this. One is the ghost story we are trying to discover, the shadow of doubt”

“Is there such a thing?”

Come to think of it, I’m not interested in ghost stories, Inaba.

“It’s a stalker-like ghost story where you feel like someone is watching you, but when you go there, no one is there”

“Eh. Nothing special.”

“kekeke. yes? I decided on this because it stimulated my curiosity and curiosity rather than being scary”

“Anything else”

“You know the other one. It’s one of the old oral traditions”

“Hmm. Red mask?”

Inaba I guess that was what I was most afraid of when I was young.

Iniva looks somewhat curious.

Remain silent as if waiting for a response.

I smiled.

It’s no fun if you just tell it to me.

“Hmm. Right…Ah! no. Let’s not say it”

“Well, where is that?”

“I guess so?”

Nod

“Of course not. Now that I think about it, it would be better not to say it.”

“Ah.. you’re teasing me”

“kekeke. That’s not it. They say it’s a ghost story that only comes out in schools. Don’t really care. Inaba”

“Please tell me….”

“What?”

“Sasaki”

Finally, only after hearing the name did I open my mouth.

“Kongkong ghost. You know?”

“Oh, is that it?”

“Yes. But there’s nothing to worry about. Kongkong ghosts appear from the 3rd floor.”

That’s a ghost story that didn’t even appear in the special episode anyway.

As Shota and the others leave after finishing their tour, the door closes.

It ended with a bean… bean… sound coming from the third floor.

I turned my head as the light illuminated the dark hallway.

There is something more important to me.

Inaba’s eyes were shaking as if a ghost story came to mind.

“Inaba”

I took a breath and held Inaba’s hand.

Like morning.

I feel the fingers in my palm wriggling.

I made up my own excuse.

“Well..it’s dark and the floor is rough, so you might fall while walking..”

“…Yeah, right?..”
