Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

On August 12, the second Sunday after the summer vacation, Ito Rin took the tram in good weather.

The amusement park where Fuji-Q Haunted House is located is in Yamanashi Prefecture. Although it is in the Tokyo metropolitan area, it is some distance away from where they live, which greatly facilitates Pochi-chan who lives in Kanagawa.

After arriving at the station after a not-so-long train journey, Ito Rin found the agreed meeting place according to the address in the group.

"Pochi-chan, you're here early." he said.

As usual, Pochi-chan, wearing a pink sportswear, was standing near the station. Next to her was Nijixia, who had a ponytail. When she heard Ito Rin's words, she couldn't help but raise her head, but lowered it again after replying.

She didn't know yet that due to this highly recognizable outfit, Hong Xia was not the only one in the band who recognized her identity as the guitar hero and was foolishly planning to make a splash.

"Morning, Ito-senpai."

"You're still so punctual. Also, I found you a rental house nearby. The price is not too expensive. Come find me when you return to Tokyo."

"Thank you." Ito Rin answered sincerely. He had long felt that the small room was not suitable and he had an urgent need for a new house.

"I looked up some tourist information last night. Fuji-Q Highland is not only famous for its haunted house, but also has other great rides. When Liang-chan and the others come over, we'll discuss how to play."

Compared to simple mountain climbing, this kind of team-building activity with recreational nature attracted more attention from girls. After a while, Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo also got off the tram.

After purchasing the ticket and entering the venue, the first thing that catches your eye is the dreamlike puppets performing fairy tales.

Snow White, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood...

Since we arrived too early, no one had time to have breakfast. Most of us chose to buy food in the amusement park to fill our stomachs, and then ate fast food while concentrating on enjoying the performances.

However, Yamada Ryo, who had been very normal when he bought the ticket just now, looked at Ito Rin, and he could no longer suppress his desire to rob the rich and help the poor.

"..."

Ito Rin understood her thoughts and felt a headache but couldn't refuse: "Why do you always have to take advantage of things like this? It seems that you didn't buy any new musical instruments this month."

"This is an obsession, representing my beautiful vision of saving money." Yamada Ryo took the breakfast he bought with satisfaction, which made Kita-chan, who was eager to try it, look disappointed.

I was originally planning to offer Senior Liang’s food.

"Liang has really gone too far. We should find a chance when she has no money and punish her." As she spoke, Hong Xia began to plan. It would be easy to find a chance when she has no money, but the main thing is to keep everyone's hearts of stone.

"Hongxia~"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Hong Xia gestured quickly in front of her and stuffed more snacks into her mouth.

She would never believe this woman's lies. Besides, with Ito taking care of her now, she would definitely not be so hungry that she would have to eat grass. She had to become tough.

"Women are indeed fickle creatures." Liang Jiang said these impolite words in a tone that showed she had seen through the world.

After all, among the five people present, except Ito Rin who was the odd one out, all of them were girls.

Ito Rin ate the food in his hand and prepared to watch the show. He loved watching women fight, especially high school girls. When he first entered school, two senior girls fought for the position of student president, which made him excited for a long time.

"Senior is right!" "Ah... no problem."

Therefore, people who lack their own opinions must stay with classmates who have firm opinions to avoid following the crowd.

If you really encounter something that requires a decision, the other person can help you.

Ito Rin put on a bored expression: "Women are indeed fickle creatures."

"Ito-kun, don't say that." Hongxia said helplessly.

"Look."

The scene fell into silence.

"Hahahaha." Yamada Ryo patted Ito Rin, his eyes full of admiration, "I said you are much worse than me, Hongxia, look at me."

Ijichi Hongxia blushed, and tried to figure out where the mistake was: "Because Liang is a girl, I must have looked at her differently."

Pochi-chan, who didn't understand what was going on, started to smile foolishly. When she saw the abandoned hospital in the corner of the amusement park, she couldn't help but grab the corner of Hongxia's clothes.

However, they have no intention of exploring the haunted house yet. After making a plan, their target is directly the roller coaster, which is said to be the tallest roller coaster in the world.

On the way there, the hot summer air filled the air, and the large number of visitors on weekends also exacerbated the impetuous atmosphere.

The roller coaster in the distance seemed to be distorted by the heat wave.

"Isn't it a bit too high?" Looking up at this huge thing, Pochi-chan was not sure. Did she really want to sit on it?

"For high school students, this height is just right. If you think about it carefully, the feeling of falling from mid-air instantly gives you enough motivation."

"What kind of perverted person must be to be so motivated about this situation." Hong Xia couldn't help but complain.

"I'm already eager to try it."

Hongxia sighed with a headache. She shouldn't have forgotten this unreliable guy. And the worst thing was her little fangirl. Didn't you notice how high this girl is, Kita-chan?

"If Pochi-chan doesn't want to, just wait for us downstairs. She will be down soon." Hongxia said softly, holding her skirt slightly.

"It's okay. Just close your eyes and you can achieve a leap in your life level in an instant. It's very exciting."

It must not be that his persuasion was effective enough, but that Pochi-chan also yearned for this kind of stimulating behavior. Of course, the greater possibility is that it stems from the desire to have a good relationship with everyone.

Ito Rin brought the five-member band to the roller coaster. After everyone fastened their seat belts, they seemed to hear someone whispering in their ears: "Death is not the end, but the beginning of a new life."

"Ahhh!" Ear-piercing screams came one after another. The roller coaster seemed to be hovering over hell and would not stop until it threw everyone into the endless magma.

……vomit!

After climbing out of the roller coaster, except for Yamada Ryo and Ito Rin who were still maintaining their composure, the others quickly returned the breakfast they had just eaten to nature.

"That's it? Nothing more than that."

Liangjiang, if your legs weren't shaking, I would believe your lies a little bit. Also, don't hold on. Wouldn't it be better to vomit and wait for lunch?

"Do you want to come again?" Ito Rin walked behind her, patted her back affectionately, and whispered the devil's words.

"No, that would be a waste of activity funds."

After being sternly rejected, Yamada Ryo jumped over to Hongxia and harassed her again. They played in the amusement park for another two hours, and then it was time for lunch.

They had agreed before coming here that they would play here until the afternoon, so lunch had already been calculated. Although the food in the amusement park was much more expensive than outside, it did not affect them from buying fast food.

Ito Rin ordered soba noodles with tempura, the girls also ordered French fries and fried chicken, and there were a variety of drinks.

"Senior, try these French fries with ketchup." Kita was still as enthusiastic as ever, and Yamada Ryo accepted all the food.

"The ticket to the haunted house costs one thousand yuan." Hong Xia frowned and looked at the brochures distributed by the amusement park.

"Then... can I not go?"

Ito Rin, who had just wrapped the served soba noodles into tempura and was smug about developing a new way of eating, had her mouth full of food, but she still stubbornly expressed her attitude with her body.

"Well!"

Before he actually went in and was frightened, he was absolutely the most stubborn. How could there be ghosts in this world? So the haunted house, which was built by the staff, must be just an amusement facility.

"If you come here and don't go to the Fuji-Q haunted house, it's no different from staying at home." Liangjiang's words, which were deliberately a little eerie, rang out beside them, scaring little Pochi so much that he quickly lowered his head and started eating.

"Hey, calm down a bit." Hongxia pushed Liang who was acting weird and sat down next to little Pochi to comfort him.

But this also meant that the haunted house tour in the afternoon was inevitable. Ito Rin, who was in charge of today's outing, ate all her noodles and rushed to the corner of the amusement park to buy five tickets.

The eerie abandoned hospital, the architectural style of the last century, the strange noises coming from nowhere, and the tourists who escaped from the entrance screaming loudly while waiting in line, all cast a shadow on their hearts.

This place looks quite interesting.

"Shall we take a photo before entering?" When it was almost their turn, Kita Ikuyo made a suggestion. No one commented. After posing, they found a passerby to take a photo of them.

Obviously, all of them are very good-looking, and the poses they posed were carefully chosen to be harmonious and loving, but the result of the photos is eerie. Even Ito Rin, who prides herself on being sunny, feels that something is wrong with herself in the photos.

"Ahhh!"

A shrill scream came from the entrance, and the girl who had just entered before them ran out screaming.

"Ahem, it's our turn to go in." Ito Rin coughed lightly and said calmly. Everyone with ulterior motives entered the dark hospital under the guidance of the staff.

At the beginning, it was all familiar routines. If the team could stay intact in the haunted house and everyone was joking with each other, even the most terrifying atmosphere would be weakened.

So as expected, when the accident happened, the five people were separated, and only Hongxia and Pochi were left by Ito Rin's side, while his girlfriend took another path with her little fan girl.

The roads in the hospital were unplanned. Just following the lights led to small rooms. The three of them were stopped by staff there, and watched a black-and-white video explaining a horrific case inside the hospital. Then each of them was given a small flashlight and allowed to leave.

"Please hold hands," the staff member who handed them the flashlight urged.

"What?" Ito Rin repeated what the staff member said.

"This is the rule of the hospital, please understand." The staff pointed to a sign that said that they were concerned about people getting lost inside, so they had to hold hands when entering.

Even though they were all members of the band, no one spoke for a while until Hong Xia took the initiative to extend her hand, "Come on."

Pochi-chan grabbed the life-saving straw and showed a satisfied smile after touching the hand of the young high school girl. Before Hongxia had time to savor it, her other hand was wrapped by a warm big hand.

Her eyelashes blinked slightly. When she felt the boy's palm for the first time, she realized how much it was beyond her imagination. This made Hongxia dare not look up at Ito Rin.

And so they embarked on their journey.

Ito Rin walked in front with a flashlight, moving forward nervously in the narrow corridor of the abandoned hospital. The smell of hospital disinfectant kept coming into her nose.

If it were just that, it would be fine. When passing by a room that looked like an operating room, the dark room suddenly lit up, and a dead body was lying clearly on the speed table in the center.

"The shroud is still moving. It's obviously the staff pretending." Ito Rin was able to explain in a rational tone and showed great pride in her poor acting skills.

"Haha, follow me on campus..." Hong Xia was just about to muster up her courage when something strange happened.

"Wow..."

The corpse wrapped in white cloth stood up, with horrific makeup on its face and its arms hanging limply at its sides. Just as I was about to condemn this behavior that was disgusting instead of scary.

"Clang."

The head fell off.

The head, which was obviously human, fell to the ground with an echoing sound.

When Pochi-chan and Hongxia were both scared silly, Ito Rin was still able to grit his teeth, but what happened next made him shut up completely.

The headless corpse bent down, picked up the head with his hands and placed it on his chest, while making a creepy laugh.

"Ahhh!"

The most timid Pochi-chan screamed, and Hongxia tried to comfort her with a pale face, but the sweat on her palms couldn't stop flowing.

"…let's go."

"…it is good."

As a haunted house adventure that costs 1,000 yen per session, the entire process takes more than half an hour. Although Ito Rin was shocked as soon as she entered, she still had to continue.

On the road afterwards, the eerie music, the haunting ghosts, the lights that suddenly flickered, and the pungent smell of disinfectant did not bring about the sense of horror that a headless corpse would have brought.

Although we understand that these are man-made things, the fear caused by human instinct is irresistible. When passing by the morgue, the organs inside are exposed by the bright lights.

The head, the arms, the woman’s hair, the beating heart…

Try not to look at those things, and look seriously at Ito Rin who keeps moving forward.

"…Ito."

"...My captain, if people scare others, they will scare them to death." Ito Rin admitted that this broken place was still a little scary.

"I know." There was a hint of tears in her voice, and her clenched hands became tightly grasped.

"But it seems that someone else has appeared near us."

It's normal, there were more than just them who came in. It's a good thing to meet other people, and it's also good for everyone to walk out together.

"Are they other tourists?" Ito Rin stared at the front intently and replied calmly.

"It does not seem."

Chapter 71: The girl's skirt, the boy's mind (Happy New Year)

"Clang."

A strange noise was heard from the bottom floor of the morgue next door. The compartment where corpses were displayed, which was shrouded in cold air, opened from the inside out. A corpse with disheveled hair was struggling hard to get out.

Pochi-chan looked over at Ito Rin with a look of dementia on her face. She lowered her head and realized what Hongxia meant by "other people".

The female corpse lying on the ground grabbed Hongxia's feet, and she didn't scream in order to avoid scaring little Bochi.

"what!"

"Keep moving forward and don't look back." Ito Rin said with a grim face.
