“Do you know how to use a kitchen knife for battle?” “I know how to cook… So using the same principles…” “How are we even on the same page here?” Says Yasuhiro and sighs. Seirei was looking at a magazine with a lollipop in his mouth. Ayame confronts him and asks- “What is so interesting about the magazine?” “This magazine is from 10 years in the past. I treasure it.” “But what is it about?” “My dead parents are in here so I treasure it.” “Um… Were they models?” “No. My dad was an outstanding employee in a famous company and my mom was a normal person.” “And would you know how they met up?” “I thought girls were all sensitive about all this…” “Well, I’m a girl too and my curiosity gets the better of me.” “That’s probably the reason as to why you have idiots hang around you.” Ayame grabs on his cheeks and extends them sideways. “AHHHH! IT HURTS! I’M SORRY!” he shrieks in pain and Ayame lets go of him. “So are you up for it?” “Up for what?” he asks acting innoce
4 Hours in, “So how long am I supposed to hold this position for?” says Akihiko while doing a head stand while leaning on a wooden block. “Maybe an hour?” “My morale just dropped from 100 to 50 from that…” “Let’s just see how this goes for 15 minutes and then I’ll decide if you have to do more.” Says Yasuhiro and walks over to Ayame and Seirei. While Akihiko was desperately holding his head stand, he curses Yasuhiro to keep his motivation from not dying. “That’s kid’s tenacity is nothing like I’ve seen before.” “I know. Idiots have that in them.” “I agree too.” Says Seirei joining in on the conversation. “Now, it’s time for your training.” “T-Training? I don’t think I need…” “You’re going to fight against it as well. Prepare yourself.” “U-um. I want Seirei to teach…” “HUH?! Sorry I’m not up to it right now…” and as soon as he says it, she reaches out for his cheeks while facing Yasuhiro and laughing. “ALRIGHT! I’LL DO IT!” says Seirei while tears were about to flow f
On returning back they look outside the window. The Sun hadn’t risen yet and the clock had only moved by 6 hours. Ritsu takes his seat and says while leaning back on his chair- “If you have to either call someone like your loved ones or something like that… Go ahead. There’s little time before sunrise so make it quick.” “Why? Do they disappear in the day?” “No. They just become weaker during the day. Also, it’s a pain finding them since their size gets reduced to a ball too.” Akihiko takes out his phone and looks through his contacts and dials his mom’s phone. After a few rings- [Hello?! Akihiko! Are you alright?! You haven’t even messaged me all this time! I was worried sick! Where are you right—] “I’m fine mom… I’m fine. So please calm down.” [I’m calm… I’m calm. As long as you are fine…] “Listen mom. You remember that day… on that night?” [Of co
Few hours later, all three of them open their eyes to find themselves in front of an abandoned hospital. “Oh… Why are we back at the building?” asks Akihiko while rubbing his eyes and slowly waking up. “Just cause it looks like that doesn’t make it the same. God. You’re going to be a headache for people in the future.” Says Yasuhiro. After that, Akihiko pushes around the sleeping Ayame even when her eyes were wide open. “Once again…” “What? Are you dead…?” “If you do that once more… I’ll put a bullet through your head.” She says in a low voice while groaning in pain. “What’s wrong though? It’s not like you’ve broken a leg, right?” he says while lifting her leg and dropping it. Ayame passes out completely and then Yasuhiro comes up from behind and asks him- “Do you have any idea what we’ve been going through while you passed out midway on the ride?” “No. The last thing I remember was that there was this creature on the road and then it’s a blank.” “You don’t even re
“Alright… Can someone tell me what the hell is going on here?! Why are there two high schoolers who look like they came back from a war?!” “Doctor this is an emergency! Please hurry up…” says one of the nurses to the doctors who was heading for the operating theatre with the nurses pushing the stretchers towards the room. The doors close and Yasuhiro and Seirei look at the door in the hopes of their complete recovery. Few hours pass by with them lying in wait. One of the doors open and a doctor exits. Removing his mask, he says- “I’m getting off my shift now…” “Doctor! So, will they be fine?” “Huh…? Ah, you might be the ones who brought them here. Yes, so the girl will be fine with a recovery and in a few months, she’ll have all her bones healed. The boy… Well, let’s just pray for the best.” Says the doctor and walks away. “He’s gonna be fine… He’s gonna be alright…” repeats Yasuhiro to himself. Seirei then gets up from the seat and says- “Ritsu.” “He’s gonna be all
Akihiko slowly opens his eyes and sees the light flickering a bit. He starts to float.“That’s a feeling I’m aware of…” he says and looks at his hands and feet in his astral form. Suddenly something comes flying and dashes into his body. A white creature which brought nostalgia to him.“Pei…” and the white object disappears. He closes his eyes and thanks Pei for his sacrifice and while floating he hears someone speaking outside the operation theatre. It was Ritsu and Seirei.“…stopping at an arm this time?”“Tch.”“What…?” says Akihiko while leaning on the door to try to hear them distinctly but they leave.“What did I just hear? I feel like it was a bad time to wake up… Anyhow, I need to wake up in my real body somehow.” He says while attempting to re-enter his actual body which was sleeping with an oxygen mask and a lot of wires hanging from his body.“I was really roughed up there. I still have to grow… I have to before I put those around me in danger.” He float
After getting back home, Ayame takes a quick shower and goes upstairs and locks herself in. Her room was messy and nothing like before. Books and clothes were scattered around the room. Without stepping on the dump, she takes a seat on her table and opens her new pc.“Now then… Waiting has got me nowhere. How about this group then.” She says as she types into the search box, ‘Yokai talk’ and opens a video in which 2 men appear who resembled Seirei and Yasuhiro.“I had my suspicions but I have to make sure now…” she says as she notes down things in her book.‘We’re here at this round school building thing in Hokkaido. One of our viewers said that there was something here that stared at them when they were passing by with their friends.’‘We’ve come to see if the myth was real.’“Streamers… Quite the confidence you’ve got for just 5 viewers.”‘This is gonna be a little brutal depending on what we will be facing so I hope you’ll stay and watch it.’[Go on! I want content and
Hiding in anticipation, Seirei is seen inside one of the classrooms of the buildings under the teacher’s desk. “Alright… Now’s a really good time for one of them to pop-up… I really want to ask them who they’re being led by.” Seirei then takes out his phone and sends a message to Yasuhiro. [Where are you? Is it the leader who got you?] A reply arrives about 40 seconds after the message went across. [Yeah. He’s strong. I’ll need your help. There enemies here lots.] Seirei looks at the message unconvinced and types- [Do you think I’m dumb? Even a child can type better than that… This is 1st division commander and I command you to stand down] [Don’t care. We’ve sided with the monkey.] [You idiots don’t even treat him with respect after joining his side… DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK I’M A BEING OF LOW IQ?!!] [Yes.] “What?” says Seirei and the teacher’s desk flies away completely exposing his location. “Well, sh*t. Guess I’ve gotta fight then.” Seirei stands up on
