Chapter 243 The Ghost Appears
After lunch, Shichen took Kotegawa Yui back to school, and then went to the old school building with Honoka Risa and Sawada Mio.
The two of them had been waiting for a long time.
The timing didn't allow Esther to reveal herself.
On the way, La started chatting excitedly with Kotegawa Yui and the others.
"What exactly is a ghost?"
"A ghost is a dead person. You wouldn't even understand if it dragged you here," Yui Kotegawa explained.
"Why would someone become a ghost after they die? Did they actually die?" La continued to ask curiously.
The concept of ghosts does not exist in extraterrestrial cultures.
"Don't ask me, ghosts don't exist at all," Yui Kotegawa replied.
"Yeah?"
"Aren't there any ghosts in the universe?" Risa Honoka asked.
I've never seen it.
"I see. I wonder if the ghost is real... Principal, do you think it's real?"
"We'll find out soon enough," Shi Chen replied with a smile.
"The principal isn't giving a direct answer. Could it be that there really is a ghost?" Sawada Mio pushed up her glasses, intrigued.
"Impossible, ghosts cannot exist." Kotegawa Yui retorted expressionlessly.
"But aliens do exist."
"Aliens are aliens, and ghosts are ghosts. Ghosts don't conform to science at all."
"What era are we living in? Why do you still believe in science?" Shi Chen looked at her with amusement.
"What questions do you have...?"
'
Kotegawa Yui was speaking when she suddenly remembered that the ability to determine time was completely unscientific.
"Could there really be ghosts?" she suddenly became nervous.
"Hehe, you'll find out soon enough." Shi Chen rubbed her head, not giving a direct answer.
"Aren't you making me nervous?"
"It's okay, I'm here."
"Oh~"
"Wei and Principal... what exactly is your relationship?"
Risa Honoka and Mio Sawada watched the two of them excitedly.
"What do you guys think?" Shichen put his arm around Kotegawa Yui's shoulder.
"What are you doing!" Kotegawa Yui blushed and shook off his hand.
"Principal, you wouldn't happen to be...?"
"What should we do then?"
"Do you think aliens need to follow the rules of this planet?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.
"I see!"
"We support you!"
"Who needs your support! And Brother Chen, don't talk nonsense!" Kotekawa Yui glared at Shi Chen, embarrassed and annoyed.
"Alright, alright, Wei seems shy, let's not talk about it," Shichen said to the two of them.
"good!"
"you....
"We've arrived!" La suddenly shouted.
As time went by, they couldn't help but look in the direction the sign was pointing, and saw a dilapidated building not far ahead.
The surroundings were empty, the buildings were dilapidated, the broken windows were pitch black, and there was a sign in red paint at the door saying "No Entry." A sinister atmosphere was palpable.
Yui Kotegawa, who originally did not believe in the existence of ghosts, became nervous as her belief wavered, crossing her arms over her chest and hugging her shoulders.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Lala said excitedly.
"Let's go!"
Risa Honoka and Mio Sawada walked directly into the old school building, one on each side.
"Let's go too." Shichen looked at Kotegawa Yui.
"Hmm...:::" Kotegawa Yui didn't move.
"Are you scared?"
"Tell me, do ghosts exist?"
"Wouldn't seeing it confirm it?"
"Seen...?" Kotegawa Yui stared blankly at the time.
"Don't worry, I'm here. There's nothing to be afraid of, not even ghosts." Shichen took Kotegawa Yui's hand and led her into the old school building.
They didn't wait for the two of them; the three of them were already far ahead. When Shichen and Kotegawa Yui came in, they just saw them disappear around the corner.
"Are you walking so fast? Shall we hurry up too?"
"Wait, wait..." Kotegawa Yui suddenly revealed Toki's arm.
A soft touch followed.
Shi Chen looked at her and found that she was trembling.
"Won't this place collapse?"
The old school building was entirely made of wood, dilapidated and riddled with holes.
"How could that be..." Shi Chen shook his head, amused. "Aren't you really scared?"
"But... something really feels off here."
"I told you I'm here for you."
"How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, why would I be afraid?"
"Will the ghost disappear if I don't say anything?"
"I don't care!"
"So what do you want?"
"How about... we go outside first?"
"Are we just going to ignore Lala and the others?"
"Hmm, let's go." Shi Chen dragged her inside.
Despite her fear, Kotegawa Yui held tightly to the clock.
Crunch~ Crunch~
Just walking on it, the floorboards would occasionally make a worn-out sound.
The two reached the corner, and as soon as they turned around, they saw them standing still.
"What's wrong with you guys?" The two approached the three of them.
"Chen, you're here!"
"Principal, we think we heard some strange noises..." Risa Honoka replied nervously.
"Really? Where is it?"
"That classroom."
Following the direction that Risa Pinkako pointed to, Shichen sensed the pitch-black classroom and discovered that it was filled with his own people.
"Hehe~ No need to worry..."
"Eee-ya-yi!" Suddenly, Kotegawa Yui screamed and jumped up to hug Tokimatsu.
"Ah—" Risa Pinkaru and Mio Sawada were also startled and screamed.
Chirp chirp! Shichen looked down at the floor and spotted a small black mouse.
He patted Yui Kotegawa on the back and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's just a mouse."
"A mouse?" Kotegawa Yui looked down and indeed saw a mouse, but she did not jump off her body.
"What are you all arguing about?" At that moment, a black and gold figure walked out of the classroom that Risa Oka had just pointed to.
It was Xiao An. She was holding a pile of books in one hand and a half-eaten taiyaki in the other.
"Little Dark? What are you doing here?" Lala asked curiously.
"Take a look... There are a lot of old books here."
"So that's how it is."
"Shichen, why are you here?" Xiao An asked Shichen calmly, her gaze falling on Kotegawa Yui in his arms.
"I came here with them because they were interested in ghosts."
"Is that so...?"
"Your name is Xiao An?"
"What is your relationship with the principal?"
Risa Pinkaru and Mio Sawada suddenly sidled up to An and asked gossipy questions.
"Talk? Um... who are you?" Xiao An was a little at a loss.
"Xiao An, they are Risa and Wei Yang."
"Hello," Xiao An greeted softly.
"Hmm! Hi An, so what's your relationship with the principal? We often see you together with him."
"Me and Shichen..." Xiao An couldn't help but look at Shichen.
"You two."
Shichen walked over, one arm around Kotegawa Yui, the other taking the taiyaki from Xiao An's hand: "Why are you so curious about this?"
"Because I'm really curious!"
"Why did you dry my sea bream?" Xiao An asked, dissatisfied.
"Didn't we just have lunch? Why are you eating taiyaki again?"
"I'll only eat this one." Xiao An reached out to grab it, but Shi Chen simply held his hand up, making it out of her reach.
"Give it back to me!"
Little An was sulking.
"I'm confiscating this because you weren't eating properly," Shi Chen said, stuffing the food into his mouth.
Xiao An glared at Shi Chen, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.
"Principal, we're even more curious now!" Risa Honoka exclaimed excitedly.
"Me too!"
"Why would a child know so much? Didn't you come here to investigate ghosts?" Shichen said dismissively.
"The ghost must be fake, right?"
"Hmm, nothing's as interesting as the principal's business."
"You two...::"
"Can we leave now?" Kotegawa Yui, who was nestled in Shichen's arms, immediately looked up and asked.
"Hey, the check isn't finished yet," La interjected.
"Pfft, ghosts and all that, they don't exist at all..."
"Get out!"
The sudden dull thud interrupted Kotegawa Yui's words, causing her to freeze instantly.
"Huh?"
Risa Honoka and Mio Sawada also became nervous and hugged each other.
"What? What? Is a ghost appearing?" La became excited instead.
"Get out! Get out!"
A dull, angry voice rang out again.
"Pull, pull... Are you trying to scare me?" Kotegawa Yui asked in a trembling voice.
"? I didn't make a sound."
"Then where did this sound come from...?" Kotegawa Yui's voice became much higher-pitched.
"Is it a ghost?" I asked, staring into the pitch-black interior.
"W-How can there be a ghost..."
"No, there really is something," Xiao An said seriously, and then looked inside.
"Get out! Otherwise..."
