Watanabe Toru simply took out his cell phone and prepared to play with it for a while before going straight to dinner.

He sent the photos he took during the day to his family.

At this moment, Kumiko suddenly sent a message, which was a recent practice video.

He sent her another copy of the photo.

"That's great - I want to go camping too!!!"

"Your school also has this kind of activity, right? They call it something different, like Forest School or Seaside School."

"Yes, there are, but there is no skiing, no off-road vehicles, no hot springs, and not even a dedicated school bus o(╥﹏╥)o"

"Neither do I"

"vomit--"

"Vomiting is too much"

"By the way, have you watched the practice video I sent you? Come on and praise me."

I was chatting aimlessly with Kumiko, and responding to my mother's instructions to wear more clothes, be careful, and remember to go home for the New Year. Suddenly it was time for dinner.

After dinner, the three members of the Test of Courage Competition got together again.

The two young ladies took advantage of the time just now to take a bath and change into beautiful clothes.

Miki Kujo's clothes are gorgeous and noble; Rin Kiyono's clothes are simple and exquisite.

As for Toru Watanabe, everything suits him well and he is handsome and extraordinary.

Such a trio has to play the role of evil spirits.

However, according to the current trend, ghosts do have to have good looks.

Watanabe Toru was walking in front with a flashlight, and the two followed behind him.

The three of them came to the place where the props were kept. Watanabe Toru was the one playing the ghost and had to change his clothes.

Kujo Miki would never do such a thing, she was only responsible for playing music;

Kiyono Rin... In this kind of weather, if she wears a prop costume, she might really turn into a ghost. She is responsible for conducting and all other chores except music.

Toru Watanabe took off his coat and prepared to put on his costume.

"Give it to me." Kiyono Rin stretched out her hand and motioned Watanabe Toru to give her the coat.

Again.

Toru Watanabe looked back and forth at Miki Kujo and Rin Kiyono.

Kujo Miki sneered, "What are you hesitating about?"

"No." Toru Watanabe handed her the clothes.

Miki Kujo looked at the clothes in her hands with disdain. Even if they were only worn once, they were garbage to her.

While putting on the costume, Toru Watanabe secretly looked at Kiyono Rin.

Her expression was unexpected, her eyes rested on her own hands, slightly absent-minded.

When she raised her head and noticed Watanabe Toru's eyes, she immediately turned away.

'Um? '

……

The Test of Courage is a free event.

Couples or men and women who are not yet lovers have romantic fantasies about this project.

In addition, there are some boys' and girls' groups joining in the fun.

They gathered at the entrance, lined up, and entered the dark forest in groups.

Kunii Osamu invited Ikki Aoi as he wished, but two girls from Class 3 also came with him.

"It means rejection." This was Toru Watanabe's analysis at the time.

"It's nothing at all. On Koshien, I caught the hitter who pointed the finger of 'Nakakyo starting pitcher Matsui Taiga'!" This was his answer at the time.

"Is there any connection between the two?" Toru Watanabe complained at the time.

During the waiting time, screams of fear could be heard from the woods from time to time, making everyone in the waiting area both expectant and nervous.

Why didn't he talk to Yimu Aoi for so long? Because Yimu Aoi was among the girls in Class 3, and he didn't dare.

I wish I could be as thick-skinned as Toru Watanabe.

No, if it was Toru Watanabe, these girls might have pretended to be scared and surrounded him.

The evidence is their current conversation:

"What if I see Watanabe-kun later?"

"Of course I'm pretending to be scared~"

"Then she was so frightened that she lost her mind and fell on him!"

"Hahaha, you're really brave. Kujo-san is still here."

"I'm timid and afraid of ghosts. It was just an accident."

……

Kunii Osamu glanced at Ikki Aoi in the crowd.

That’s right, everything that happened next was an accident.

Soon it will be their turn.

As a boy, Kunii Osamu volunteered, "I'll go in front, Ikki-kun and you guys can follow behind me."

"No need~" said the girl who just said she wanted to throw herself into Watanabe Toru's arms.

"Wait a minute." Another girl pulled her back and whispered, "Let's just stay behind Kunii-san and pretend to be scared and pitiful."

The girl's eyes lit up and she instantly understood what her friend meant.

"Okay, okay, thank you Kunii-san~" the girl nodded excitedly.

Kunijii Osamu nodded silently and walked in front to lead the way.

No lighting equipment is allowed in the Test of Courage competition, and the use of flashlights on mobile phones is also not allowed.

"It seems like nothing?"

"It hasn't started yet."

At the end of the starting path, there is a corner.

Kunii Osamu and Ikki Aoi walked over first. When the two girls behind them were about to go over, a light suddenly lit up at their feet.

"what--"

The two girls screamed in fright.

The light shone from bottom to top, onto the face of a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

In the darkness of the forest, the sinister laughter of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could be faintly heard, and the atmosphere was eerie.

"It's about to begin. If you're scared, Ikki-san, you can grab my clothes." As he said the words he had already prepared, Kunii Osamu felt a little nervous.

It's like knowing that a horror movie is made, but you can't help but be scared.

"Well, thank you Kunii-san." The more Aoi Ikki looked at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the more frightened she became.

Kunijii Xiu calmed himself down and continued walking forward.

After walking only two steps, the light behind me made a "click" sound and suddenly went out.

"Why is there a switch sound?" Several people laughed and looked back, ready to catch the man.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was looking at them with a mocking expression.

"Just now, wasn't its face facing this way?"

"It seems that he didn't laugh either..."

"Let's go quickly."

"Ok!"

Several people quickened their pace.

The strange laughter coming from behind them became more and more real, and seemed to be getting closer to them.

The dead leaves under their feet rustled, and from time to time a dark shadow appeared in the forest, watching them silently.

"Well, it doesn't seem that scary." A girl said in a trembling voice.

"They're just some motionless dolls and paper figures!" said another girl.

But suddenly, a light black shadow slowly fell from a tall branch in front.

It watched them.

The two of them, along with Ichimoku Aoi, leaned together and moved slowly, fearing that the shadow would move again.

The sound of wind swaying branches and the whispering of dark shadows.

“Is it talking?”

"No, it should be a model..."

Before he could finish his words, the shadow moved again.

It came down from the branch and slowly floated towards the four people in a gliding motion.

"Ah——" the three girls screamed in fear.

As the shadow got closer, everyone could see its appearance clearly.

A dark, ugly, wrinkled face like a bat, and large, soft ears.

Its body is the shape of a mouse, and its hands are thin and small, as pink as if they had just been taken out of the amniotic fluid.

"Ah——" Another scream, and the three of them hurried forward.

Osamu Kuni was also taken aback by the bat face, couldn't help swallowing, and ran after the three of them.

After running for a while, the front suddenly opened up to a circular flat area with a huge rock in the middle with its bottom stained with blood.

A man squatted beside a boulder with his back to them who suddenly broke in.

The three girls didn't dare to move forward and waited for Kunijiro Xiu to come over.

"I'll go take a look." Kunii Osamu said.

"Well, be careful." Aoi said with a look of fear while grabbing her friend's arm.

"Do not worry!"

Kunii Osamu took two steps closer to the figure: "Watanabe, is that you? I knew it from your back."

"Hmmmm." The figure stood up while chewing something and looked back at them.

"You came too early, I'm not ready yet." Toru Watanabe leaned over with dissatisfaction.

The hair was still intact, but the right side of the skull was gone, with the brain exposed and moving slowly.

There was blood all over his mouth, and one of his eyes was wide open without an eyelid.

But judging by his figure and voice, it must be Toru Watanabe.

The girls relaxed and stepped forward.

"What? You're early."

"Watanabe-kun, your outfit looks real. If we wait until you are ready, we will definitely not be shocked."

The fear in their hearts went away, and their courage gradually grew.

"Watanabe-kun, what are you eating?" a girl asked.

"Oh, this." Toru Watanabe handed over his finger.

"It looks so real. It's still bleeding."
