Surviving in a School of Ghost Stories-Chapter 43

Well, if you think about it, it might actually be a good thing.

‘It’s better. It would be better if Raven avoided me and left the Ghost Story Investigation /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ Department.’

It was okay if I couldn’t continue seeing Raven.

As long as Raven was alive, that was all that mattered.

As long as that kid could survive and graduate from this school, nothing else mattered.

“Melody. What are you thinking about?”

At that moment, Noah Senior approached the desk where I was sitting and asked.

I quietly raised my head. The moonlight fell on Senior’s face, shining palely.

“I think it would be good for you if Raven avoided you and stopped working at the Ghost Story Investigation Department.”

As expected, he seemed to have the same thoughts as me and said something similar.

Eastern, who was the only one who didn’t understand what I said, asked back with a puzzled look.

“Huh? Why would that be good for you?”

“The ghost story incident is dangerous. It would be good if Raven got out.”

Easton’s expression became ambiguous at my answer. He looked at me silently for a moment, then scratched the back of his head and grumbled.

“What on earth are these siblings? They’re all looking at the same place.”

I don’t know what Easton means.

“What does that mean?”

“Ask Raven about that.”

“You know my circumstances.”

“That’s your senior’s. It’s my rule not to interfere in other people’s family matters.”

Other people’s family matters.

That’s right. I understand Easton’s decision because I’m not interested in anything other than Raven.

“Still, I envy Raven. He has a senior-like older sister.”

There was silence for a moment after Easton’s answer.

I noticed the ghosts glancing through the hallway window.

They wanted to approach me, but they kept looking at Noah. He must have been quite scared.

“But why are ghosts afraid of the chairman?”

“Ghosts?”

Noah asked, tilting his head.

I realized later that he was someone who couldn’t see evil spirits or spirits when he was human.

On the other hand, he pretended to know that Easton could see ghosts.

“They’ve always been like that. They were afraid of the chairman. I heard that the only things that spirits are afraid of are evil spirits or ‘kings,’ so that’s strange.”

I paused at Easton’s words. The title ‘king’ that he gave me was unfamiliar.

“Hmm.”

Noah looked meaningful and thoughtfully silent.

“I don’t know why either.”

And after a while, he answered.

Is it really true that I don’t know why? Noah is a man who is hard to read.

It was hard to tell what he was thinking, so it was hard to tell the truth of his words.

At that moment, Noah checked the time on his wristwatch.

“By the way, we’re a little late. We have to start investigating ghost stories in earnest today.”

When Noah gestured, Easton spread out a school map on his desk.

The senior pointed to the gymnasium on the map with his finger and said.

“This is where we’re going to investigate today. I heard that ghost stories about the gymnasium have been circulating among the students recently.”

Gymnasium?

Since we’re currently in the annex, the gymnasium is right in front of us.

Tong-

Tong-

When we arrived at the gymnasium, we could hear the sound of a ball bouncing inside.

Meow.

Noah, who looked like a black cat, let out a cry.

At that, the ghosts that had been chasing me from afar were startled and ran away.

“The kids are scared. Why are you scaring them?”

My senior looked up at me with a face of absurdity.

“Both of you, be quiet and get ready to go in. The gym door is open.”

I turned my head again at Easton’s words. As he said, the gym door was open.

[It seems that the door to the ‘other world’ is open.]

You don’t simply look at an open door and judge that the door to the ‘other world’ is open.

This is especially true in the special circumstances of Gloria Island, where evil spirits are rampant, and certain conditions must be met for the door to open.

If a door is open in a place where even one human is staying and an evil spirit passing by finds out about it, it immediately becomes a passage to the ‘other world.’

Of course, this was what Father Cesario had told me.

‘You have to find a medium first.’

Just like the elevator ghost story, you had to find a medium before opening or closing the door.

If I am in the real world, it means closing the door, and if I am in the other world, it means opening the door.

If the door to the ‘other world’ is open, it means there is someone inside, but who is it?

Tong-

Tong-

The sound of a ball bouncing continuously came from somewhere. The inside of the gym was empty.

“I will guard the door. Good luck.”

Easton said while standing in front of the door.

He acts as a gatekeeper to prevent the door from opening or closing until the medium is found.

I looked around the inside of the gym with Noah-senpai.

There was no sign of people or evil spirits inside.

Tong-

Tong-

We moved following the sound of the ball coming from somewhere.

[Melody, there is something I have been wanting to ask you.]

At that moment, Noah-senpai, who had borrowed the body of a black man, stopped walking and looked up at me. I also stopped walking following him.

What was he trying to say to make the atmosphere so heavy?

Even though he was wearing the body of a black man, the unknown pressure he gave off was suffocating.

[I felt like you already knew me before we met.]

“That is.......”

I looked at the black man with a nervous face.

Senior Noah wagged his tail for a moment before speaking.

[He seemed interested in me too.]

“...That, that is.”

Well, I did observe him closely because he might remember what happened in 903.

I can’t say no.

Senior Noah nodded with a confident face.

[It didn’t seem like rational interest, so it can’t be because he likes me.]

It was very accurate.

[So my conclusion is that you know something about the Eglinton family, not me. Isn’t it?]

No. You were completely wrong.

But since my senior was almost certain that it was true, it was difficult to refute him.

If he said no, what would I say?

Since I didn’t believe that he came from the future, I had to come up with another excuse, but I couldn’t think of any other reason that would convince my senior.

Above all, the way Noah spoke sounded like there was some kind of hidden secret in the ‘Eglinton family.’

‘Is it my imagination?’

Tong- Tong- Tong- Tong- Tong-

At that moment, the sound of a ball bouncing began to be heard quickly. It was as if it was trying to draw my attention back to me.

Because of that, I couldn’t talk to Noah anymore.

We ran straight in the direction of the sound. We passed the multipurpose auditorium, the main space of the gymnasium, and looked up toward the audience seats.

There, a ball was bouncing on the floor alone.

If I looked closely, I could see a translucent shadow holding the ball.

That’s him. That guy is the real story behind this rumor, and that ball was the medium.

The gymnasium rumor wasn't a rumor, it was real.
