Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

Logically, they should go back together to find Aine, but Hailing turned around and looked at Pochi who was sticking behind her, and some selfish thoughts came to her mind.

"I believe Chihaya-san can handle it. Besides, playing in a haunted house alone is the most exciting, isn't it?"

"Eh...eh? Is...is that so?"

"Yeah, that's right. Only one person can get the full haunted house experience, so we should just go to the exit and wait for Chihaya-san."

"Okay... okay."

Although it sounds a bit strange, but Hailing, who is so reliable, must be right, right?

"Give me your hand, Pochi."

"Eh?"

Although it was a little sudden, Pochi still reached out his hand.

"Well, it's more convenient this way if there are two of us."

"oh oh."

-

"Po...Pochi."

Why haven’t you come yet?

Chihaya Aine huddled in a corner, holding her head and trembling. She wanted to wait for Pochi and Hailing to come and save her. There were occasional footsteps around her, and screams that sounded like they came from far away.

"Gu..."

It's been so long, why haven't Pochi and Hailing come yet? Crouching here with my back to the outside, there's nothing to be afraid of as long as I don't take the initiative to look.

But I had no idea how much time had passed, and my phone was handed over to the staff for safekeeping before entering the haunted house.

"Pochi...save me..."

……

“Aine?”

The only one who could save Aine at this moment was her favorite Pochi, but Pochi, who was holding hands with Hailing and even tightly pressed against her, only sensed it slightly.

"what happened?"

Hailing, who was enjoying holding hands with someone for the first time, turned her head and looked at Pochi who looked back thoughtfully.

“No…I think I heard Aine’s voice.”

Pochi looked at the road he had just walked with Hailing, but saw nothing.

"Chihaya-san's voice?"

Hailing also listened carefully and recalled, but there was still no sound. "No, did Pochi hear it wrongly?"

At this moment, neither of them realized that Hailing had omitted the honorific when addressing Bochi.

"Did you hear it wrong..."

Pochi muttered to himself and lowered his head, "But...is it really okay for us to leave Aine there?"

"Chihaya-san is very strong, so it's okay."

Hailing lied with an expressionless face. How could she know whether Aiyin was strong or not?

"Okay... okay."

Pochi hesitated for a moment and turned his head, "Maybe I'm wrong."

"Well, let's keep going."

"Speaking of which...Haileng has ever been to a haunted house before? She didn't seem scared at all."

It was fine when he was standing still, but as soon as he started moving, Pochi couldn't help but move closer to Hailing.

"No, this is the first time."

"Oh...oh, Hailing is really brave. She's not afraid at all even though it's her first time."

"How dare you..."

After hearing this description, Hailing fell into deep thought. If she had been bolder, would she and Lixi have been more than just ordinary friends?

We've been together for so long, yet we've never even played together. Of course, that last time Li Xi pulled me over doesn't count. Can someone as timid as me be considered brave?

Thinking of this, Hailing stopped and looked down at Pochi who was slightly bent over and leaning against her shoulder.

"What...what happened?"

Suddenly stopping, Pochi looked up at Hailing curiously.

Such a clear look! Hailing smiled inwardly, but her face remained slightly grim. So... let's see if I'm as bold as you say.

Pochi was still looking at Hailing with his head tilted in confusion, completely unaware of what was going to happen next.

Hailing put one hand under Pochi's armpit and the other hand on his waist, pressing Pochi against the wall, and the two of them were pressed tightly together.

"Eh? Eh?! This..."

"Shh..."

Hailing interrupted Pochi's voice and uttered a "hush" sound in Pochi's ear, causing Pochi's face to turn red.

"There's a ghost over there."

Hailing whispered the excuse she had just come up with into Pochi's ear, "I'm wearing black clothes, so I won't be seen leaning against the wall."

"oh oh."

Pochi believed Hailing's words and let her press him against the wall without moving.

But a moment later, as if to make Hailing's statement more convincing, footsteps slowly sounded in the corridor behind them. The NPC who had just scared Aine by hiding under the bed slowly appeared in Pochi's sight, holding his large scissors.

"Well……"

Just as Pochi was about to scream, Hailing quickly covered his mouth. From the sound of footsteps and Pochi's reaction, Hailing roughly knew what was going on.

The two pressed their chests together, feeling each other's heartbeats. Pochi's heartbeat and breathing became faster because he could see the NPC dressed as a ghost.

"Shh..."

Hailing also felt excited for the first time, although she didn't know why. He tried to signal her to be quiet again in her ear, but it didn't work.

In that case, Hailing looked at Pochi's ear and did what she had wanted to do to Lixi for a long time - she opened her mouth and slowly bit it.

"Hmm?! Ugh..."

Pochi's eyes widened in shock. What kind of feeling was this that he had never experienced before? He tried to turn his head to look at Hailing, but his ear was still being bitten. When he turned his head, it was pulled, and the pain made him maintain the same position as before.

So... so strange... even my legs have become weak...

……

"call……"

The worker holding the large scissors yawned. He had certainly seen the two people's movements by the wall, but because of the light and distance, he thought the one with black hair was a boy.

I was no stranger to such playful interactions between young couples, so I walked away, scissors in hand, pretending I hadn't seen anything. Then instructions came through the hidden earpiece I was wearing.

"The girl you scared by hiding under the bed is now cowering in the corner and doesn't dare to come out. Go deal with it."

Okay, okay, who knew she would react so strongly? Holding the scissors, I walked past the couple again.

Tsk...you kissed me for so long? Aren't you afraid of oxygen deprivation?

……

Why...why haven't Pochi and Hailing come over yet? Could it be that they don't want me anymore? Aine, still crouching in the corner with her head in her hands, was still trembling.

But it's no use going on like this. I... really can't escape anymore. Even if I'm alone, I can still move forward.

Isn't it just a haunted house? How could it be as scary as when I introduced myself in England? Thinking of this, I slowly stopped trembling, lowered my hand, and slowly poked my head out.

But he only saw a familiar pair of huge scissors standing in front of him. He slowly raised his head and met the eyes of the bandaged man again.

"Hee~ I found you."

“Ah!!!! Help!!!”

Chapter 154: Meal replacements cannot be eaten as meals.

How come only two of the three people who went in came out?

Squatting at the exit of the haunted house, Toyokawa Shoko watched Hailing walk out holding Pochi's hand, and... why did it feel like their expressions were weird?

Hailing and Pochi both looked in opposite directions with blushes on their faces, recalling what had just happened and finding it difficult to speak.

"I, I'm going to the bathroom. Pochi, wait for me here."

Beside the bench at the exit of the haunted house, Hailing let go of Bochi's hand and was rarely a little flustered.

……

What's up with her?

Xiangzi watched Hailing walk away quickly. Although he was not very familiar with her, he felt that she had lost her usual calm demeanor.

What on earth did they do in the haunted house? And...where is Chihaya Aine?

Forget it, I won’t think about it too much. Now that Pochi is sitting alone on the bench, can I do to her what a normal teddy bear would do?

So Xiangzi slowly walked up to Pochi.

……

I don't know why Hailing feels different today than usual. Also, I took out my phone to check the time. I'm going to Ring after some more shopping. And come to think of it, I haven't told Lenai and Mu when they're coming over...

As I was still thinking this, the sunlight above my head was blocked by a shadow. I looked up and found that it was an oversized teddy bear staring down at me.

Eh? !

What...what happened?

What bad things did I do to deserve being targeted?

"That... that."

Pochi recalled it in his mind, and it seemed to be called...

"Michelle? Yes, yes, yes...what's wrong?"

Xiangzi didn't say anything because he might be recognized by Pochi. He just spread his hands and motioned Pochi to pick him up. It's normal to hold a teddy bear. There was a little kid who kept holding it and refused to let go just now.

"Uh-huh?"

Does this mean I should hug it? Looking at the fluffy stuffed animal, it seems like it would be quite comfortable to hug, but hugging a stranger like this... wouldn't that be a bit abrupt?

Or, did he see that I was alone and thought that I was a dark socially anxious person who came to the amusement park alone, so he wanted to hug me to comfort me?

Hmm... I suddenly felt a little touched when I thought about it. However, I was still a little shy in front of strangers, but the teddy bear in front of me still maintained that posture.

Are you still waiting for me to hold you...

I couldn't say no. Hai... Hailing, did you take so long in the bathroom? And Aiyin hasn't come out of the haunted house yet.

This... In this case, I can only carry her up.

I stretched out my hands hesitantly and timidly, but before I could react, I was hugged.

"Hmm?"

Completely wrapped in the heavy doll costume, but... being wrapped like this actually gave me a sense of security, just like being in my own closet.

But... I was hugged so tightly that I couldn't breathe...

Help……

-

What on earth am I doing?

In the bathroom, Hachiman Kailing looked at her wet face in the mirror and suddenly felt a little strange.

Why would I do that? I clearly didn't do it to Li Xi, why...
