Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"Mengmeng."

Before anyone knew it, Haruna followed Yumeko onto the balcony.

Yumeko smiled at Haruna, and seeing Yumeko's smile, Haruna nodded and reached for the rope ladder.

"Let me go down first."

"You two are so slow."

Kentaro muttered to himself while glancing at his watch.

The hands on the watch pointed to 2:43 a.m.

Considering the time it will take to get there, setting off now might only allow us to barely make it to the forest by 3 PM.

"You're a man, why are you so long-winded?"

"Ha, is that considered sexual harassment?"

"Nonsense, sexual harassment is something men do to women."

"Don't you understand? Sexual in English means gender, but it doesn't refer to either male or female."

"You're so full of nonsense!"

"It's because you're uncultured!"

Whenever Kentaro and Yumeko meet, they always end up arguing like this.

Haruna was filled with envy for them both, because she felt that their ability to argue like that proved their personalities were compatible. Yumeko and Kentaro were both very stubborn; if they truly disliked each other, they would never say a word to each other.

At Moriki Academy, most of the children are only children. But Haruna sees Yumeko and Kentaro as a pair of very close siblings. Although Kentaro is short, he is the leader of the kids in the academy. He has been in the academy since he was two years old. And unlike Haruna and the others, Kentaro's parents are still alive.

Although they are still alive, they had already divorced when Kentaro was born. Kentaro was raised by his mother, but she later developed mental health issues and began abusing him as an infant. Kentaro's maternal grandparents, unable to bear it any longer, sent him to Moriki Gakuen.

Nine years have passed since then, and Kentaro's mother has never visited him. It is said that she has started a new life with another man. Despite his tragic past, Kentaro is a cheerful and energetic young man. Haruna, on the other hand, is relatively introverted, so she sometimes...

I greatly admire Ryo and Yumeko's personalities.

The three of them arrived at the forest. Haruna was initially a little scared when she saw the dark forest. Although they hadn't come here to test their courage, in Haruna's mind, it was still a terrifying place. However, while the forest seemed somewhat dark and eerie during the day, at night, the trees and everything seemed to fall asleep, becoming less frightening.

Looking at Yumeko and Kentaro, they were acting out of character at this moment, becoming quiet and easily startled by the slightest noise. Haruna even found them a little ridiculous.

I never expected that these two people, who are usually so arrogant, would be so nervous that they dare not speak.

As Haruna was thinking this, suddenly, Yumeko pointed ahead.

What's that over there?

A sliver of light peeked through the gaps in the branches in front of Yumeko's finger.

"It sounds like there's still a sound..."

After Kentaro finished speaking, Yumeko and Haruna listened attentively.

Sha, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.

Repeatedly.

The three of us looked at each other.

"Is it... a ghost?"

Kentaro asked, his voice trembling.

"I don't know either! Weren't you the one who first said there were ghosts?"

As they spoke, Yumeko and Kentaro's fear reached its peak.

For a moment, their minds went blank.

I have absolutely no idea what to do next.

"I guess there must be someone there."

Haruna listened attentively as she spoke.

"Someone could be there."

After Kentaro finished asking the question, he saw that Haruna was also shaking her head.

"I don't know either, listen carefully again."

Yumeko and Kentaro followed Haruna's example and focused their attention to listen to the voice again.

Sha, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.

"It looks like... they're digging a hole."

Haruna said softly.

"Dig a hole?"

"Yes, what we heard was probably the sound of digging."

"I knew it! There's no way there could be ghosts in this world!"

Kentaro finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the two of them couldn't relax for even a moment.

"The stage is just ahead."

Haruna's words made the two of them tense again, and Yumeko and Kentaro looked at each other in bewilderment once more.

"I'm going to have a look."

Haruna said that seemingly casually.

"Are you alright? We still need to go over there to check!"

"Mengmeng and Kentaro, stay here and don't run away. I'll go check it out by myself."

Are you really going to go alone?

As soon as Yumeko finished speaking, Haruna nodded slightly and walked forward, pushing aside the branches.

at this time....

The pit has been dug very deep.

"I think we've dug about this far enough."

Miyuki said with a relaxed expression. Nomiya looked at it and it seemed to be enough to bury his wife.

He threw away the shovel and struggled to finally get out of the pit. His shirt was soaked with sweat and mud.

"You should throw her in and bury her right now!"

Urged on by Miyuki, Nomiya, without even a moment to catch his breath, picked up the sack containing his wife's body, staggered to the edge of the pit, and threw the sack down.

'Boom! '

The sack fell to the bottom of the pit with a dull thud. In that instant, the trees seemed to sway and cheer. Nomiya had no time to pay attention to the sounds around him. He picked up the shovel again. He had to hurry up and cover the pit.

Once the hole is filled, everything will be over.

It's all over...

crunch.

When Nonomiya and Miyuki heard someone pushing aside the branches, they both gasped and looked in the direction the sound came from.

! ! ! ! !

There stood a little girl, about eleven or twelve years old, with pretty features; it was Haruna, who had come deep into the forest. She looked at the two adults in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Regarding this...

Why would she be in the forest in the middle of the night...?

Nomiya and Miyuki were speechless for a moment, staring blankly at Haruna.

What are you...doing?

Chun Cai asked, her heart pounding with fear.

This question brought Nomiya and Miyuki back to reality.

"Nothing much."

Miyuki forced a smile as she walked over to Haruna.

"Little sister, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Who's with you?"

Upon hearing Miyuki's question, Haruna was taken aback for a moment, then slowly shook her head.

During their conversation, Nomiya carefully looked around.

It seemed that no one else had followed them except for this little girl. However, he still couldn't quite believe that such a young girl would have the courage to come to this depths of the forest alone at this time.

"What are you going to do with that?"

Haruna pointed to the pit Nomiya had dug and asked.

"What? Which one did you say?"

"That pit."

Then, Haruna asked a question that would endanger her life.
