The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

Unbeknownst to her, Yuuki Yuna finally found someone she knew amidst the bustling atmosphere of the high school.

That's Aicheng-san, whom I met a while ago, right?

As the hero in her spirit form thought this, her light, floating spirit form swept past the clothesline and branches in the courtyard. She passed through the wall and saw Karen Aijo and Teru Inoue talking.

Aicheng-san seems a bit busy...

Yuna Yuuki doesn't need to worry about not being seen by Karen Aijo.

As a character card from Kita Kirihara, Yuuki Yuna's state can be seen by all character cards.

Seeing that Aijo Karen seemed to still be busy, she didn't bother her. Instead, she planned to wait until she had some free time and then go to a place where there were few other people to ask about Kita Kirihara's location.

However, she suddenly noticed something out of place in the room.

One gaze had been fixed on Yuuki Yuna ever since the beginning.

In this state, Yuna Yuuki is rarely noticed by outsiders, so she is very sensitive to such surprised gazes.

She turned her head almost immediately and met the gaze of the pitiful-looking Miss Ghost.

Rin Shiraki, who was also in a soul state, and Yuna Yuuki looked at each other in bewilderment.

Her eyes were filled with shock: "...Who are you?!"

Yuuki Yuna, on the other hand, noticed Shiraki Rin's miserable state.

Yuuki Yuna could see that the young lady with a rather terrible scar on her face was in a similar situation to herself.

Unlike herself, Yuuki Yuna was unable to return to her body, which had almost lost all its functions due to the full bloom, while Shiraki Rin did not want to go back.

Rin Shiraki's health has gradually recovered somewhat in recent days due to adjustments.

If you want to go back, with your strong will, you absolutely can.

It's the kind of difficulty that can be overcome with perseverance.

But Shiraki Rin didn't want to go back.

Her soul was already scarred, and sometimes when she looked at her body, she felt like she was looking at a huge pile of garbage.

Why didn't he die?

Every day, this thought deepens.

Such a soul cannot return to the body; it will be resisted by instinct.

Shiraki Rin was unaware of these things.

She thought she would never be able to return to normal and would have to live her whole life as that terrible woman's pet.

Because she couldn't stray too far from her own body, Shiraki Rin couldn't see very clearly, but she already knew that Kita Kirihara was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Beneath that gentle exterior lies a terrifying monster that preys on its prey.

Although Kita Kirihara hadn't spoken to Shiraki Rin in the past few days, nor had he shown that he could see her in her soul state, Shiraki Rin felt that the other party must know of her existence.

Shiraki Rin is terrified of Kita Kirihara.

She fears people who are two-faced and treacherous the most.

But her body seemed to lack a brain—it seemed that she was essentially brainless in this state—and always clung to Kita Kirihara's side, forcing her to share a room with this terrifying white-haired man.

Fortunately, the other party is not here now, and the temporary owner, Karen Aijo, seems to be a normal person, at most she just occasionally seems a little silly.

Rin Shiraki, who thought she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, noticed Yuna Yuuki, who had somehow drifted in at some point.

The other party appeared to be a real ghost.

Although it was rude to say that, Shiraki Rin didn't see Yuuki Yuna's body around her, so she subconsciously assumed that.

Considering Yuna Yuki's age... she seems much more pitiful than I am.

Her vibrant red hair was tied into a short ponytail with a white ribbon embroidered with small flowers. Her cheeks still had the roundness of a child's, and her figure was petite and slender. She looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, like a tender and shy girl blooming like a cherry blossom.

In fact, the white hair clip she was wearing was also similar in shape to cherry blossom petals, and when she smiled, it made people feel the girl's straightforwardness and cuteness.

However, it seems that the other party has fallen into the same situation as me.

Shiraki Rin realized this, and a hint of sympathy appeared in her eyes as she looked at Yuuki Yuna.

“…Hello?” Yuuki Yuna felt a little uneasy under Shiraki Rin’s gaze and subconsciously became more cautious in front of a stranger.

Ah, it's Rin and Yuna.

[Is this... a ghost duo?]

Wait, so Yuna Yuuki can appear here in this form? I thought she was confined to a wheelchair forever...

The camera had been focused on Karen Aijo and Teru Inoue, but Kita Kirihara opened the viewing permissions, and the audience saw the scene of Yuna Yuuki and Rin Shiraki interacting.

During the Tower Meeting, although Yuna Yuuki did not return to her own body, she simply activated her Hero Costume to move her body and made an appearance with everyone. Therefore, the audience did not know that she could actually appear in front of the camera in this form.

After Kita Kirihara granted viewing access, viewers were able to see the scene of Shiraki Rin and Yuuki Yuna talking.

Since Shiraki Rin in her spirit form wasn't wearing a mask, Yuuki Yuna could see the hideous, enormous scar on her face.

But as a hero, she did not back down because of the other party's slightly frightening appearance. Instead, she started talking to Shiraki Rin with a curious mind.

"Is that girl down there you?" Yuuki Yuna was pointing at Shiraki Rin's body.

So, even after the soul leaves the body, the body can still move?

She couldn't help but be surprised.

If my body were still able to move on its own, would it be like this?

Shiraki Rin felt uneasy facing the curious yet innocent gaze of a child even younger than herself.

She hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time; after all, in her current state, she couldn't communicate with ordinary people.

Strictly speaking, her state is not a state of being in a spirit, but rather something closer to a mental illness or something similar... She doesn't know how to define it.

But the child seemed to be truly out of his body.

Shiraki Rin could clearly sense the presence of both herself and the other person.

Compared to myself, the other person was more like a soul with nowhere to go.

I even got lost here.

...Could it really be a ghost?

Shiraki Rin, who had been listening to Aijo Karen and Inoue Teru's conversation, couldn't suppress her fear after hearing so many horror stories about national high schools from the serious Inoue Teru.

Could it be that the students who died at that religious school are now haunting the school as ghosts...?

And this age seems to match up?!

Even though her own condition was already very strange, she was unexpectedly afraid of things like ghosts.

Rin Shiraki is most afraid of these paranormal phenomena that are difficult to explain scientifically.

She immediately floated back two meters, her gaze towards Yuuki Yuna filled with fear. If she weren't in her soul form, she would have been sweating profusely: "Who... are you?"

My teeth were chattering.

[Hilarious, Rin is starting to get scared!]

Despite appearing strong-willed, she's actually terrified of ghosts and the supernatural.

I remember during the National Team's courage test, Rin was the first one to give up, right?

What a contrast! wwwww

They even tried to escape, but almost slipped and fell into the river.

[Pfft]

Putting everything else aside, Xiao Lin is definitely the least timid person in the entire national group. Even if she watches a scary movie, she has to run to Xiao Qi's room with her pillow in the middle of the night.

Judging from this, he probably thinks Yuna is a ghost, hahaha.

Shiraki Rin is indeed very timid.

Before being sold to the association by the person who possessed Shiraki Tomoe's body, she was just an ordinary girl who depended on her older sister for survival.

I'm scared of horror movies, I hate bugs and slimy things, and I don't have any desire to become a big shot or a hero.

In other storylines, the reason Shiraki Rin becomes a hero is simply because she likes the atmosphere of the National Team.

I like Principal Baiying, who is very tolerant, and I also like everyone who is a bit awkward but kind. Being with everyone makes me feel at home.

That was Shiraki Rin, who in other timelines spent a long time gradually opening her heart. But now, she is still that little girl who shuts herself off and trembles at the slightest sound.

Faced with the obviously problematic Yuuki Yuna, Shiraki Rin just wanted to find a place where she couldn't see her and curl up.

She swallowed non-existent saliva, backing away as much as possible, remaining alert and wary: "...What are you?"

The voice was already trembling with fear as it questioned him. Even though Yuna Yuuki was somewhat oblivious, she could still hear the fear in the other person's voice.

She hurriedly explained, "I'm not a ghost! My body is still perfectly alive! I'm just a little lost about how to get back..."

Shiraki Rin's tense expression eased slightly, but she continued to back away: "I see."

She breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then suddenly realized that she hadn't actually drifted backward on her own.

However, the image of Yuna Yuuki was getting further and further away from her sight.

She asked, puzzled, "Why are you backing away?"

"Huh? Wasn't it you who kept backing away?" Yuuki Yuna tilted her head slightly, her bewildered expression genuine.

Then, Shiraki Rin belatedly realized that it was her own body that was moving erratically, which was pulling her backward.

The other side of her is like a restless little animal playing alone.

Upon noticing that one of the doors was locked from the inside, he couldn't resist using his ability out of curiosity to pass through the tightly closed door.

She was pulled along with him, and before she could react, she heard a short, screaming, unfamiliar sound coming from the pitch-black room.

Shiraki Rin: ?

She hovered in mid-air, dumbfounded to discover that there was actually another living person in the room.

The living person, because of the intrusion of another version of themselves, let out a terrified scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Saki Nanami frantically crawled backward to the furthest point from the door, leaning against the wall, trembling and pale, looking as if she was about to faint on the spot.
