[Manami Aragaki's gaze shifted from the haunted house to the sky, where the weather had changed from sunny to cloudy – not good news!]

[Yeah, yeah! Could the reason Aragaki-sensei isn't going is because of that female ghost Kayako? What if Kayako shows up and the entire crew dies!]

I swear on my thirty years of chastity that these people will absolutely not be able to leave at the last moment!

Yingzhou. Unconsciously, Yukiyuki was biting her finger and staring intently at Aragaki Manami, who was wearing a ceremonial robe and a demon mask, her heart filled with anticipation and prayer.

look forward to.

I want to see the scene of a great hero defeating an evil spirit.

prayer.

Naturally, I hope nothing happens to Manami Aragaki.

"I wonder if she can dance?" Yuzuki murmured, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.

As a member of the royal family, she naturally became the focus of the nation's attention.

There was no problem with her singing, but her dancing received a lot of criticism, with people saying it was not in accordance with etiquette.

Therefore, hobbies should ideally be nipped in the bud.

But that day was also a coincidence, or perhaps it could be called "fate's arrangement." As she casually struck a dance pose in the library in preparation for getting a book, she was just happened to be seen by Manami Aragaki who happened to be passing by...

And so our encounter began.

Dance is the bond that connects the two.

She chuckled, a rare occurrence, and stopped worrying about it. She was perfectly content just staying at home watching Aragaki Mana's live stream.

Deep down, I wish I could spend those fast-paced days with Manami Aragaki over there; this place is just too boring!

Shifting perspective—

The room that serves as a dressing room.

Nakano Ichika and her temporary colleagues were tidying up various things in the room that had already been cleaned, and they were chatting casually.

With little experience, she naturally played a minor role, merely echoing others.

However, she never expected that this group of people would directly bring up the so-called "source of the curse and disturbance" of the haunted house!

This is incredibly disrespectful to the deceased!

Nakano Ichika tried hard not to show any unnatural expression on her face, but her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the opened door and the slightly cloudy glass window that still let in a little light.

Want to leave!

That was her first thought.

However, you can't just wander around until you've finished tidying up, or you'll leave a bad impression on others.

"The place where that woman was murdered is right here in this room."

"It's said that the body was found in a hidden compartment in the ceiling above this closet."

"Look, there's a stain over there, about the size of a buttock. That's what the woman left behind when she was killed..."

Ichika Nakano gritted her teeth and said nothing more.

Suddenly, a calm voice rang out: "Gentlemen, please allow me to say one more thing—we should still avoid discussing the deceased's affairs."

It's Mai Sakurajima!

Nakano Ichika secretly looked at Sakurajima Mai, who remained silent, with admiration.

The surrounding area only experienced a brief pause.

The silence instantly turned into noise.

"Yes, yes, it's best not to mention such things. I'm such a gossip."

"Sorry, it's all my fault for being nosy and bringing up these trivial matters."

The women who had just been talking about the ghost in the haunted house started apologizing one after another.

Mai Sakurajima listened to the barbed words and felt helpless, knowing that she had offended someone.

She smiled bitterly and scolded herself inwardly, "Fighting against thin air is incredibly stupid!"

Yes, that's incredibly stupid!

So stupid it's beyond redemption!

But whether it was an illusion or not, the bone-chilling cold gave her an intuition that "she couldn't let them continue talking," which is why she did this.

Knowing that this would inevitably damage her reputation, Mai Sakurajima could only try to remain silent.

But things still took her by surprise!

"Huh? There's another notebook here! It looks like it's written in women's handwriting, could it be... Ahaha, sorry about that."

The woman who had been reminded by Mai Sakurajima earlier gave Mai an apologetic smile.

But how much sincerity there is cannot be guessed.

Ichika Nakano looked troubled.

Sure enough, the woman and the others seemed to have forgotten what they had said before and began to crowd around to take a look.

This time, Mai Sakurajima didn't try to persuade her again... she just lowered her head and sped up her packing.

Don't look at anything!

"Don't look!"

"Absolutely do not watch!"

The cry from somewhere deep inside remained unspoken.

at the same time.

Manami Aragaki also began to move; her pale white bone mask appeared even dimmer in the gloomy sky, as if she were absorbing something.

Chapter 23 The Art of Summoning Demons! Mai Sakurajima is targeted by Kayako.

"Earlier than expected? Earlier than anticipated."

Manami Aragaki moved her body swiftly and stealthily, like a ghost, making her almost invisible.

[Wow! That's incredible lightness skill—you can't even see a shadow! Amazing!!]

[I knew it! Kayako, Toshio Saeki, and those other demons wouldn't let this crew off the hook! Do you think they might use them as leverage?]

【Be careful, Manami.】

[Aragaki-kun, your military fortune is prosperous~]

Although I find it a little strange to talk to myself, I still have to say good luck to Aragaki-sama!

With Aragaki Manami's actions, the relatively quiet live stream room suddenly became noisy.

Manami Aragaki has such great patience to wait, but others don't!

Everyone was waiting for him to unleash his full power and reveal more mysterious strength, and they tried to find clues and details in order to understand and imitate him.

can only say.

Who doesn't dream of being a hero?!

Girls dream of becoming magical girls, boys dream of becoming heroes who slay gods, and even people in their thirties, forties, or even fifties and sixties, after learning about the existence of mysterious powers, would still choose to live an ordinary life.

The answer is, of course, no.

And Manami Aragaki gave them all the so-called hope!

Mediocre people yearn for the extraordinary.

Those afflicted with illness yearn for health.

Those whose lifespan is nearing its end yearn for immortality.

Ambitious people crave to surpass...

People's hearts are restless and their desires are complex and difficult to describe!

However, would Aragaki Manami give them that opportunity?

Each of his spells and incantations contains a unique way of operating; trying to figure anything out from them is simply a pipe dream!

Moreover, knowing about the existence of the live stream from the beginning, he made some highly misleading and secretive moves within it.

How could such a selfish person think of sharing?

Scamming people is the most basic tactic!

Stealing someone's skills is a major taboo, and Aragaki Manami didn't think she had done anything wrong.

but.

He still needs to deal with Kayako first; Saeki Toshio can be used as an accomplice.

Just like how Manami Aragaki never thought that this group of reckless crew members would be able to get out.

"Che, Pi, Dou!"

Ancient characters flowed from his mouth, like the deep, resonant tolling of an ancient bell, echoing throughout the area centered on the hut without spreading even a fraction of a second!

In a fleeting moment, Manami Aragaki was enveloped in a mysterious and eerie black mist, and moved with a firm yet peaceful gait, as if circling a haunted house...

A stirring feeling deep within the soul is spreading!

It's spreading, mainly among Aragaki Manami!

His words and actions, imbued with an ancient and desolate air, began to exude an air of authority, giving off an indescribable sense of eeriness and terror.

A dark, gloomy mist swirled around him, resembling a real yet illusory demon with fangs.

【greedy】!

[Anger]!

[Obsession]!
