"Ya-chan?"
Seiji recognized the voice.
It was a ghost that once appeared in the school's infirmary, a ghost that called itself Ya-chan!
"Hehehe ~ ~" Ethereal laughter rang out and echoed in the dark room. It felt like it was haunted.
"Brother Harano, come and play ~" Ya-chan's voice echoed in the room.
"What do you want to play?" Seiji asked.
"Play hide-and-seek ~ ~"
Playing hide-and-seek with the spirits in a house like this was very atmospheric.
"Can't we play something else?" he tried.
"No ~ You must find me ~"
"What happens if we can't find it?"
The response was another burst of laughter.
"If Big Brother Harano finds me, I'll tell you where the cute kitten is ~"
Cute kittens?
"Are you talking about Miyabi Ishihara?"
The other party still responded with laughter.
"Let's start playing, Big Brother Harano ~ ~"
The voice stopped there.
Seiji looked towards Matsutani.
The chubby uncle had an expression that said, "I don't care what the situation is, just do as you see fit."
Seiji retracted his gaze and walked into the house. Matsutani followed behind him.
After the two of them entered the room, the door closed automatically.
Then a light came on.
The dim yellow light shone on the old house, giving people a nostalgic feeling … but they couldn't figure out where this nostalgic feeling came from.
Seiji and Matsutani walked into the living room.
The furnishings in the hall were all very old, especially the TV. It was a CRT TV that could not be seen in the city anymore, and the style was quite old. It could be said to be an antique.
The two of them cautiously looked around, but didn't find anything special.
Suddenly, the television turned on, emitting an ear-piercing rustling noise!
Seiji subconsciously turned his head and saw that there were no images on the screen. It was just "snowflakes."
"What a cliche scare plot," he said casually.
Then, sensing that something was wrong, he quickly looked around.
Tsuyoshi Matsutani had disappeared!
"Matsutani-senpai!" Seiji shouted out.
No response.
He kept yelling and at the same time went out of the living room, looking everywhere.
There was still no response. He couldn't find anyone at all.
This kind of horror plot was also very cliche, but it was undeniably effective.
Seiji quickly walked into a few rooms. When he walked into another room, he was surprised to see that it was exactly the same as the living room!
He immediately looked back and found himself in the living room, as if he hadn't moved at all.
"Haunted house …" Seiji's eyes flickered.
The television lit up again, emitting an ear-piercing rustling sound.
He looked at the television.
The "snowflakes" on the screen began to shake, and then slowly overflowed, gradually forming a human shape …
Peng!
Seiji cast the [Body-strengthening Technique] on the demon and kicked it away. The demon that had yet to fully form disappeared.
Then, he jumped, spun, raised his leg, and stomped hard on the TV!
Boom!!
The television was crushed by the heavy stomp.
"You can't do that. That's against the rules! Big Brother Harano, "Xiao Ya said.
"I didn't agree to play with you. You don't need to follow the rules," Seiji said.
"This is too much! I don't want to play with you anymore … "
"It's fine if you don't want to play, but you need to release Matsutani-senpai and Ishihara-senpai."
"I'm not going to tell you where they are! Ptui ~ ~ "The ghost made a condescending sound.
"In that case, I won't hold back anymore, Ya-chan." Something flashed in Seiji's eyes.
He cast the [Evolved Body-strengthening Spell]!
After transforming into his golden form, he rushed to the living room and destroyed the wall. He passed through the wall and continued forward in a straight line.
The lights instantly went out, and a gigantic black shadow attacked him from the darkness.
Seiji faced it head-on and defeated it in just two or three moves. He then continued to pass through the wall.
A white demon that was even stronger than the black shadow appeared … Kill it!
Several black and white demons appeared … Kill it!
Numerous black hands appeared on the ground and ceiling, trying to entangle him … Seiji cast [Evolved Body-strengthening Mana Shield] and blocked them!
After passing through the wall, he saw another room … He wasn't confused and continued forward!
No matter how this haunted house tried to stop him, Seiji dealt with it or forcefully resisted it. He determined the correct direction and continued forward.
This was a completely unaesthetic method of breaking through this haunted house.
But the truth proved that he was correct. After passing through several dozen walls, he found the missing Tsuyoshi Matsutani in another room that was identical to the living room!
The pudgy middle-aged man was lying on the ground in a classic frog position.
Seiji was just about to check on him when he heard snoring.
Did this middle-aged man actually fall asleep!?
It was good that he was fine … By the way, could this posture not be caused by an ambush, but by his natural sleeping posture?
Seiji had all sorts of irrelevant questions as he silently patted the toad … whoops, the light novelist senpai's shoulder.
Matsutani muttered something as he slowly flipped over in a frog position with his mouth slightly open.
Seiji was certain that this was his sleeping posture!
Seiji felt rather awkward after learning about the strange sleeping posture of the pudgy middle-aged man that he didn't want to know about at all.
He forcefully patted Matsutani's shoulder.
Matsutani woke up and was surprised to see Seiji before he regained his senses.
"I was ambushed." Matsutani wiped off the saliva from the corner of his mouth. "That's because you, Harano-kun, suddenly disappeared. That's why I waited here, and this happened … I must have been ambushed!"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"Harano-kun, are you alright?" Matsutani sat up.
"I'm fine."
"It seems that you're fine. As expected of a Spirit-branded Retainer. You're quite powerful."
'Even though this was clearly a compliment, why do I feel like something's off about it?' Seiji's cheeks twitched.
'Forget it, I won't bother with it.
Matsutani wasn't injured … in that case, let's have a talk. '
Seiji stopped casting his spell after thinking it over.
"Ya-chan, I'd like to talk to you face to face," he shouted.
There was no response.
"I apologize for breaking the rules. But you first caused my companion to disappear. I thought that he was injured, which was why I attacked him," Seiji continued. "Both of us are at fault."
"Hmph …" A faint voice spoke up.
"I can apologize to you face to face. You need to apologize to me as well. Both of us should apologize to each other for our mistakes. That's more like it, "Seiji stated calmly.
There was then a period of silence.
Seiji was just about to say something when he saw a black and white mist appear. The mist swirled together and gradually solidified.
A child with short, curly black hair, white eyes, a band-aid on his face, and a striped t-shirt and shorts … Although this child's appearance was slightly different from when he saw him at the infirmary, this was doubtlessly Ya-chan.
"Brother Harano … I'll forgive you this time. There won't be a next time," the ghost child stated.
"Thank you." Seiji smiled at Ya-chan. "I'll forgive you as well … I hope that there won't be a next time."
Both sides exchanged glances for a while.
Matsutani remained silent as he observed.
This seemingly harmonious scene was actually a competition between both sides.
"Where's Miyabi Ishihara?" Seiji asked again.
"Play with me. I'll tell you only if you beat me." Ya-chan folded his hands.
