He knew nothing at all.

and many more...

this is...

A sign that read "Red Bean Soup Available Here" and was adorned with several pink peonies came into view.

In that instant, Tetsushi Mochida instinctively widened his eyes.

real...

Fake!!!

"here it is..."

"Our classroom?"

Looking around with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, Yoshiki Kishinuma confirmed that he had indeed left Tenjin Elementary School and returned to the real world.

Then, on the other side of the floor, Yoshiki Kishinuma suddenly saw Ayumi Shinozaki, who was also unconscious.

"Shinozaki..."

"Shinozaki, hey, cheer up!"

Yoshiki Kishinuma rushed to Ayumi Shinozaki's side, but worried that she might have some hidden injury that prevented her from moving, he dared not shake her directly. In the end, he could only call her name again and again.

"Hmm~"

With a soft moan, Shinozaki Ayumi slowly opened her eyes and awoke from her coma.

"Kishinuma-kun..."

"is that a lie!"

Looking around in shock, this was undoubtedly the [real world].

“That’s right!”

"We're back?"

"right!"

Through their question-and-answer session, the two became certain that they were not dreaming and that they had truly returned to the real world.

"Haven't Tetsushi and Ms. Yui returned yet?"

Looking around, it seemed that only the two of them had returned.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

A scream rang out as Ayumi Shinozaki pointed behind her in terror.

"What's wrong...?"

Yoshiki Kishinuma turned around and added the second half of his sentence in a dry tone.

A purple crack suddenly appeared out of thin air, and inside...

Yoshiki Kishinuma sensed a malice that sent chills down his spine.

"Could it be that..."

"Isn't it over yet?"

Accompanied by fear and unease, the crevice transformed into a black mist, which gradually solidified and eventually became a black human figure.

A girl with a bob haircut appeared in front of the two of them.

this person...

Without a doubt...

She was one of the victims of the “Four Children’s Serial Abduction and Murder Case”. When she was found, her tongue and left eye had been cut off. She was only eleven years old before she died.

At the same time, it's also the one who has been wandering around the abandoned Heavenly God Elementary School all along...

A ghost that kills indiscriminately.

"It happened to be the morning I was kidnapped, right after school, after a rainstorm. I had an argument with my mom..."

"I didn't go home after school because I didn't want to see my mother."

Guan Naixue, who had been wearing the hairstyle her mother had tied for her for so many years since her death, lowered her head.

"At that time, I was squatting in the corridor, staring blankly at the rain."

"Then, Mr. Yoshio sat down next to me, nodding as he listened to what I had to say. Although he had a speech impairment, he was a very kind person, and I liked him very much."

"but..."

Guan Naixue's statement was undoubtedly a victim's own account.

This happened on the day she was kidnapped and murdered...

【go through】.

"Brother and sister... I'm sorry."

Tears streamed down her face as Guan Naixue sobbed uncontrollably, wiping them away repeatedly.

Now, she looks no different from a normal person.

"Thank you for earlier, for wanting us who were killed to become Buddhas."

Her tears stopped the moment the two approached, and Guan Naixue bowed slightly to apologize to them.

"Haven't you already become a Buddha?"

"Why are you here?"

With a smug look typical of bad guys, Yoshiki Kishinuma was very annoyed.

Since this guy is here—

Doesn't this mean that everything they just did was in vain?

He himself didn't care, but he was really annoyed that Ayumi Shinozaki's "Your efforts were in vain" thing was so frustrating!

"sorry..."

"He has not yet become a Buddha."

Guan Naixue continued to apologize, then lowered her head.

"We've already returned your severed tongues and made the culprit who committed such a cruel act repent. It's still..."

"It's not enough! The prisoners' repentance isn't enough!"

Interrupting Ayumi Shinozaki's words, Kaneyuki shook her head.

"So...it's not enough just based on what his cultural doll says?"

"that..."

"no!"

She bent over even deeper, her face showing difficulty, but she couldn't explain the specific reason.

Or rather, she simply didn't want to recall what happened that day.

I absolutely don't want to!

Why are you imprisoning innocent people one by one?

"It was you children's ghosts who summoned us there."

Yoshiki Kishinuma, arms crossed, was very unhappy.

"That's not the case. We are just the cogs in the machine that make up the paranormal points."

Guan Naixue's face was filled with sadness, concealing her grief and sorrow.

"Didn't you kill a lot of people there?"

Clenching his fists in anger, Yoshiki Kishinuma now felt an urge to rush up and punch Naoyuki Kane.

"Because she was also being manipulated."

"Gears make up a sophisticated machine, and the machine has a controller."

"This child is like a battery in a gear; perhaps soon he'll revert to that indiscriminate killer, but..."

"She is not the real culprit."

"It's just a knife in the hands of the culprit."

The woman who abruptly interrupted the conversation quickly appeared in front of the two people and the spirit.

The corner of her eye twitched involuntarily when she saw Guan Naixue, but she quickly calmed down and pinched her thigh to show an expression that said she was not afraid.

It looks like...

I always felt that she was somewhat similar to that Sakurai-kun.

Especially in the case of this outfit.

"Are you also a student at Ichinose High School, wearing this school uniform?"

Shinozaki Ayumi was somewhat surprised to see the black-haired, golden-eyed girl suddenly appear.

"So, that means you have indeed met the BOSS. Nice to meet you. My name is Yotsuya Miko, and I'll just call myself an exorcist."

The girl, who had instinctively avoided Guan Naixue, looked at the two of them somewhat embarrassed.

White teeth, white teeth, white teeth... It's really too scary to face the supernatural alone.

Miko Yotsuya almost burst into tears after subconsciously mimicking Sakurai's actions.

"Boss?"

"Yes, BOSS."

"You should have met them before."

"The BOSS's name is—"

"Sakurai Eito".
