Tokyo, love before they become female ghosts

At dusk, at Morita Shrine, Takuya Hase led Kayano and Kuro towards the backyard.

When entering Hasegawa's house for the first time, Kayoko was very cautious, her eyes furtively scanning her surroundings.

As a regular customer, Xiao Hei followed behind the two with its tail held high, showing no stage fright whatsoever.

Upon arriving at the backyard living room, Takuya Hase first put the ingredients into the kitchen, then invited Kayoko, who was standing somewhat reservedly at the door, to sit down.

He took an orange soda from the refrigerator and handed it to Jiayezi, then turned on the TV and placed the remote control on the low table in front of her.

"Change to whatever you want to watch. I'll go cook first. By the way, can you eat spicy food?"

"Yes, yes, that's possible!"

Looking at Jia Yezi, who loudly declared that she could eat spicy food, Hase Takuya pursed his lips helplessly.

"Relax, I'm home alone, there's no need to be so nervous."

After saying this, Takuya Hase turned and walked into the kitchen, completely unaware of the happy yet twisted look in Kayako's eyes as she watched his back from the table behind him.

At home, Hase-kun lives alone...

Yes, is he implying to me that Hase-kun wants to... do *that* with me next...?

But, but, I...

She quickly raised her sleeve to her nose and smelled it, then turned to look at the feet she was sitting on, which were covered by black stockings and revealed a hint of white skin.

He picked up the little black dog that was lying on the ground and placed it next to him, then pressed its head down and sniffed it.

Little Black obediently lay down on its owner's feet, looking at her with some confusion.

Meow~

"call..."

If Xiao Hei doesn't react much, it means there's no taste.

Little Black is very sensitive to smells...

Great, there's no strange smell. But, but, Hase-kun, am I, am I really okay?

I'm disliked by everyone, and I don't fit in. If I were your girlfriend, you'd be laughed at...

Hase-kun, after being ridiculed, you probably hate yourself like everyone else does, right...?

Indeed, I am a girl who doesn't deserve happiness...

I am not worthy to stand beside Hasegawa-kun.

Thinking of this, Jia Yezi felt a surge of intense sadness.

In the kitchen, as Takuya Hase was chopping vegetables, the panel frame of Jia Yezi suddenly popped into his eyes.

【Name - Yuka Kawabata, the human form of Ju-on】

[Trait: Love that is infinitely twisted, and hatred that arises without cause]

[Humanity: 20 points]

[Ghostly Principle: 56 points]

Damn, it's fluctuating again!

He quickly put down the kitchen knife and went to the door. Looking at Jia Yezi, who was kneeling alone on the cushion with her head down, Hase Takuya quickly spoke up.

"Jia Yezi, are you alright?"

Seeing the concerned look on Hase Takuya's face, Kayo pursed her lips and shook her head.

"I, I'm fine..."

Takuya Hasegawa didn't believe Jia Yezi's explanation at all.

If you're really okay, why is your control panel moving again?!

With a headache, he grabbed a handful of his hair and looked at Kayoko, who was lost in some kind of emotion. He took a deep breath and spoke softly.

"Were you thinking about unhappy memories from the past?"

Jia Yezi looked up at Hase Takuya, whose eyes were gentle and concerned, and the unease and anxiety in her heart began to fade away.

"No, no, I just feel like I'm a girl who shouldn't be liked..."

"What do you mean you shouldn't be liked? Who told you that? Tell me his name and his address! I want to talk to him!"

Looking at Hase-kun, whose eyes were filled with hidden anger, Kayo felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she sensed his concern. A hint of fanaticism appeared in her eyes as she looked at Hase Takuya.

"Nobody said it, it's just my own feeling..."

Takuya Hase pursed his lips helplessly. "Girl, are you seriously ill? Who keeps denying themselves?!"

No, she might, possibly, really be a little sick...

Taking a deep breath, Takuya Hase patiently spoke softly.

Why would you think that way?

Hearing Hase-kun's gentle voice, Kayo pursed her lips and remained silent.

Takuya Hase pulled out a tissue to wipe the water droplets off the outside of the soda, twisted it open, and handed it to her.

"I'm not leaving unless you tell me."

Looking at the soda that Hase-kun had carefully wiped away the water droplets, and hearing his gentle voice, Jia Yezi still pursed her lips.

"Meow..."

"Look, even Xiao Hei is a little worried about you."

Looking at the little black thing rubbing against her thigh under her skirt, Jia Yezi remained silent for a long time before speaking softly.

"Because everyone around us is like that..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Takuya Hase said firmly.

"What do you mean by 'people around'? Have you forgotten me?"

"Have I ever hated you?"

Looking at Hase-kun's serious face, Kayo shook her head gently but firmly.

"No, Hase-kun never has!"

"Yes, I've never disliked you, so why do you think everyone around you dislikes you?"

"You have to understand that it's very difficult for a person to be welcomed by everyone. Although we live in a society made up of humans, we are social beings."

"But we are also independent, coming into the world with nothing and leaving the world with nothing."

"Don't care about those who don't care about you; look at those who do, like me. Why bother with them if they don't care?"

"Don't think you have no value. You definitely have value. At least to me, you have a value far beyond your imagination, even equal to the world's!"

As Takuya Hasegawa spoke in a solemn voice, Kayaki's dark eyes flickered as she looked at him.

"Hase-kun..."

With a soft murmur, Takuya Hase handed him the soda again.

This time, Jia Yezi reached out and took the soda.

He patted her on the shoulder and spoke softly.

"Unless the world ends, you will always be someone I care about."

As soon as he finished speaking, looking at Kayoko's fluctuating gaze, Hase Takuya got up and went to the kitchen.

After Takuya Hase left, Kayoko suddenly lowered her head.

Then, a rapid, almost imperceptible murmur, audible only to herself, began to rise.

"Hase-kun, Hase-kun, Hase-kun..."

As she murmured, her legs under the pleated skirt began to fidget restlessly. Little Black looked at its owner, tilted its head, and went into the kitchen.

Meow~

Looking at the little black cat rubbing against his ankle begging for food, Hase Takuya pursed his lips helplessly and took out a dried saury and placed it beside his leg.

Xiao Hei's white gloves supported his calves as he gently bit the dried fish and lay down in the corner.

Amidst the crunching sounds of eating, Takuya Hase looked at the Kung Pao Chicken in the pot and began to ponder how to keep Jia Yezi in line.

This girl is too unstable; her human reasoning value comes quickly, but her ghost reasoning value comes even faster.

Like a roller coaster, it can easily reach the critical point if you're not careful.

I recall the girl in the living room who was always gentle and weak, and whose emotions were always trapped in inferiority and self-doubt.

Takuya Hase rubbed his chin, just in case one day he was half asleep and a ghost suddenly appeared in the blanket and dragged him away with a howl.

For the safety of the world, and for his own safety, Takuya Hase felt it was necessary to perform a personality transformation on Kayoko!
