236 – Haunted House
Generally, haunted houses are often visited by couples or mixed men and women.
It’s not that there aren’t cases where same-s*x friends come together, but the number is very small compared to male and female couples.
There could be many reasons for this, but I think it’s probably because of the physical contact that takes place in a dark, closed room.
Because the thought of men clinging to each other is terrifying.
“But everyone is working, so can we just play like this?”
“Ah~ What are you worrying about? You just have to work hard again tomorrow.”
“I guess.”
If you think about it, I started working in the morning and worked non-stop for about five hours.
If someone says something about taking a break from this, that person’s conscience must be horny.
“Ah, by the way, Sasha will be playing after me. Karen-chan will be next.”
“…Is there no doctor for me?”
“Ryu-chan, don’t you like hanging out with your friends?”
“No, that’s not it…”
When I answered while avoiding my eyes, Rika smiled and patted my shoulder.
“It’s a joke, a joke. I already know that Ryu-chan feels burdened by our favor.”
“…….”
Rika knew that she already had a crush on me.
Of course, I’m continuing my secret relationship because of the president’s personal circumstances, but I feel guilty when I’m hanging out with other girls like this in a place the president doesn’t know.
With a slightly uncomfortable atmosphere, Rika said, “hehehe, I didn’t mean to do this,” And twisted her hair.
I said to Rika with a bitter smile on her face.
“You don’t have to apologize. It’s because I’m bad at showing half-hearted attitude.”
“Ryu-chan…”
“Now, let’s stop talking heavy. It’s already our turn.”
“Oh.”
While the two of us were talking, it was our turn to enter.
As we approached the entrance, a student from class 2-C who was standing in front of the haunted house said.
“It’s 600 yen for two customers.”
“Here.”
“I’m telling you, but you can’t touch the staff from the inside?”
“Ah~ I won’t touch you~”
It was obviously aimed at me, but Rika thought it was a joke and smiled and handed me a coin.
“…Then this way.”
As we pulled back the curtains blocking the entrance, a dark room was revealed, and we slowly went inside.
***
“Wow, it’s dark.”
The inside of the haunted house was a dark room where you couldn’t see anything in front of you.
After a while, my eyesight gradually got used to the darkness, and I could barely see the outlines of objects.
It seemed that the inside of the haunted house was made into a maze to make the most of the small space, so we moved forward slowly, holding on to the wall with one hand.
“Quaaah!”
Awkward!
Screams, presumably from the team that entered before us, came from very close by.
Perhaps she was startled, Rika stopped her steps and looked back with an uneasy expression on her face.
“Sui-chan, are you still there?”
“Uh.”
I used to call you Ryu-chan when I was serious, but before I knew it, I was called Sui-chan again.
“Can I, cow, hold your hand?”
“A hand?”
“Yes. I’m a little scared.”
I silently held out her right hand to Rika.
Then Rika, who groped in the dark and held my hand, said curiously.
“Certainly a boy’s palm is bigger than a girl’s.”
“I’m also a bit taller than the average person.”
“Why is that?”
“Because I have a big physique.”
“Ah…”
Perhaps the tension was relieved as they chatted with each other, and the strength in Rika’s shoulders was gone.
She was in this state even before she met the student from Class 2-C dressed as a ghost, so Rika might be weak to her horror stories.
But we could have been overtaken by the team behind us if we delayed any longer here, so we decided to keep going.
“Come to think of it, Sui-chan, can I ask you one question?”
“What?”
“You said before that there are ghosts and monsters in the afterlife. Have you ever actually seen a ghost?”
I thought of the two ghosts that follow Ryuji every day without realizing it.
“You don’t know, but it’s very close to us.”
“What? Where? Where?”
Rika looked around in amazement.
“No, I’m not saying you’re here now.”
“Then?”
“There are already two of them in my classroom.”
One is a pharaoh who flew from far away from Egypt, and the other is a tsundere who is tied to this world because he cannot forget the memory of his first love.
“…I don’t want to go back to class for some reason.”
“It’s okay because they’re both nice guys.”
It was when I was walking through the maze while soothing Rika like that.
“Oh.”
A suspicious-looking iron cabinet was placed in the middle of the street.
Gulp-
Perhaps it’s because they’re so close to each other, the sound of spitting is clearly audible.
“Hey, should I open it?”
Rika asked me in a trembling voice.
“Shouldn’t that be the case?”
Listening to my answer, Rika approached the iron cabinet with a very unwilling expression.
“Open? Really open?”
Rika, who was repeating the same words like a parrot, as if to warn her ghost, who was probably nearby, closed her eyes tightly and opened her cabinet door.
Jumping!
“… Huh?”
But there was nothing inside the cabinet.
The moment Rika, who was relieved to see that, was about to sweep her chest,
Suddenly!
“Quaaagh!”
From noble mtl dot com
Her hands, which suddenly jumped out from under her feet, grabbed Rika’s ankles tightly, and Rika let out a tremendous scream and fell into my arms.
Munkle!
At that moment, I felt the soft texture unique to the round lump of flesh.
‘Thank you.’
After giving the ghost a thumbs-up for the unexpected side income, I slowly patted Rika on the back until she calmed down in her arms.
***
“Mi-sorry.”
“No, that’s about it.”
It wasn’t until a minute or so later that the distraught Rika calmed down.
“I didn’t expect it to come in like that when I was careless.”
Accepting Rika’s complaint, I smiled bitterly.
In this case, it should be said that the students who played the role of ghosts are clever.
In the dark, where you can’t see an inch ahead, you draw your attention to the cabinet, then grab her by surprise and snatch her feet. If you’re not a person like me who can read signs, it’s a combo that you have no choice but to win.
“I’m not going to catch my guard now! Wait and see!”
However, to the displeasure of such a promise, after that, Rika was caught in a series of traps set in advance by her class 2-C students, and she screamed every time.
To be honest, the last mirror trick really surprised me.
The two of them are looking into a large full-length mirror, and a ghost suddenly pops out from behind.
I almost sent it to the Nether Road.
“Ah! It was fun!”
After it took about 10 minutes to get out of her haunted house, Rika smiled and said that.
I was stunned by the 180 degree difference from the one I showed inside, so I asked Rika.
“Didn’t you keep saying you were scared?”
“Hmm? Originally, the experience of a haunted house is like that, isn’t it?”
That’s not exactly wrong….
Remembering the image of Rika, who made a lot of fuss about being scared inside, I felt a sense of alienation.
“Ah, you can let go now.”
Rika let go of my hand that I had been holding tightly as if she remembered it belatedly and smiled at me.
“Today was fun. Sui-chan. Your hospitality skills are the best secret weapon in our class.”
“I’m glad if you enjoyed it.”
It wasn’t that long, but it was the first time since I went to an amusement park the other day that I and Rika had played together like this.
There was a bit of trouble in the middle, but basically it was nice to be able to play with each other like in the old days.
“It’s Sasha-chan’s turn next, so should I keep my schedule empty? Otherwise, I might be dishonestly criticized for having fun alone.”
“Okay.”
It seemed too late to refuse, so let’s be polite and sacrifice this body.
Instead, it would be better to be honest with the president.
“I want to go back to class first, but what will Sui-chan do?”
“I’m going to stop by the student council room for a while. It’s the last cultural festival for the president, so he’ll be busier.”
“Really? Okay. I’ll pass it on to the other kids!”
Rika kept her initial tension intact, she waved her hand at me and she walked away.
After waving her hand until she disappeared, I thought I was tired even though I hadn’t done much, so I stretched out and headed to the student council room in the annex building.
Ah, of course change these ugly clothes.
***
“It’s too late! It’s too late! Yuseong Kim!”
And as soon as I opened the door to the student council room, what greeted me was the vice president’s pointing finger, as if I hadn’t seen him in a long time.
“You’re back at last! Vice President!”
When I involuntarily let out a voice of joy, the vice president blushed slightly and said,
“You idiot! You know how to make me happy just because you do that!”
But the body couldn’t lie, the corners of his mouth were twitching.
“It’s ugly. Brother.”
“Really, you started fighting again as soon as you came back. Even while you were on probation, you didn’t show any signs of remorse. Shinji.”
“hahahaha, isn’t this my identity, young lady. More than that…”
The vice-president, who suddenly stopped speaking midway, looked around the student council and said.
“Now that we’ve reached the last member with this, I think we can proceed with the meeting we’ve been putting off until Kim Yu-seong arrives.”
The vice president said that and took something out of his arms.
It was the remote control for the beam projector.
Beep!
As soon as you press the button, a huge beam screen begins to slowly descend from one side of the wall in the student council room.
Soon after all the student council executives were seated, the vice president spoke as a representative.
“Then, on the last day of the cultural festival, let’s start the meeting related to the campfire in the playground.”
