Restarting life, starting from bullying Pochi-chan

(But are there really such things as evil spirits in the world?)

"Although the evil spirit was scared away by Kitahara-san, I always feel that it will come back to find me." Toyokawa Shoko clasped her hands together and asked softly, "Excuse me, Kitahara-san, do you have time after school? Can you accompany me to Tsuki no Mori Academy?"

"I used to study at Tsuki no Mori Academy. The source of that evil spirit should be at Tsuki no Mori Academy... No matter what, I don't want to be haunted by the evil spirit again."

Kitahara Makoto hesitated:

"I have to go to work after school this afternoon..."

With both parents dead and no sister or house, life is actually very hard and I need to work to earn money.

Toyokawa Shoko bit her lower lip and bowed.

"I can give Kitahara-san 100,000 yen as a reward... I don't have more for now, but I will remember this favor and repay you handsomely in the future."

Seeing that Kitahara Makoto was silent, Pochi-chan couldn't help but stretch out a finger and quietly tugged at Kitahara Makoto's sleeve.

"Ok?"

Kitahara Makoto looked down.

"Um..." Goto Ichiri stammered, and whispered, "Toyokawa-san looks very pitiful. If Kitahara-san can help her, please help her..."

Kitahara Makoto finally agreed:

"Since Ichiri-san has said so, I will help."

"Thank you, Goto-san." Toyokawa Shoko turned around, thanked Pochi-chan gratefully, then pursed her pink lips and said, "Excuse me, Goto-san, do you have time after school this afternoon?"

"I'm a little scared to go alone, can you accompany me to Tsukinomori Academy?"

"..."

This is obviously the little trick of Xiaoxiang, the customer service representative.

After all, they have only known each other for less than half a day, so it is hard to say what kind of person Kitahara Makoto is. He might even abandon her and run away at a critical moment... From what we can see now, Kitahara Makoto's attitude towards the girl in front of him is obviously different.

So...if I call Ichiri, at least he won't run away so easily, right?

"I I I..."

For people with social phobia, refusing others is an extremely difficult thing. Goto Ichiri naturally agreed in a daze and agreed to accompany him to Tsukinomori Girls' Academy after school to exorcise the evil spirits.

"Then let's meet at the school gate after school." Kitahara Makoto waved his hand, "Do you want to go to the cafeteria to eat together?"

"No, no, no." Goto Ichiri shook his head quickly, "I'm eating a bento, I don't want to go to the cafeteria."

"Okay then, see you after school."

"See you after school..."

Chapter 6 I see that the evil spirit still has its charm

The day flies by.

After school.

school entrance.

"Good afternoon..."

Goto Ichiri, carrying a guitar on his back, appeared quietly behind Kitahara Makoto like a ghostly groundhog.

Kitahara Makoto complained:

"As expected of Guitar Hero, your stealth skill has been upgraded to the maximum level, right?"

Goto Ichiri looked around in panic, waving his hands nervously:

"No, don't shout that name outside..."

Kitahara Makoto looked down and said, "Then you can yell when we're alone?"

Goto Ichiri hesitated: "No, no..."

Kitahara Makoto lowered his voice and said:

"As the biggest fan of [Guitar Hero], I should have some privileges, right?"

"Eh?" Pochi-chan looked up blankly, "Number one fan?"

"Yes, it's me." Kitahara Makoto said shamelessly, "No one else can recognize it, but I am the only one who can recognize Ichiri's hidden identity. It's normal to say that I am the number one fan, right?"

"Hmm..." Goto Ichiri felt a little dizzy and nodded subconsciously, "Okay, it seems to be correct..."

"So," Kitahara Makoto smiled, "Ichiri-kun should give me some special treatment, right?"

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Pochi-chan finally realized that Kitahara Makoto had changed the way he addressed her to Ichiri-san. Her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she looked down at her toes in panic.

(Sure enough, I heard it right!)

(The person who just called out was definitely Ichiri!!!)

(Aaaaah! He actually called me by my name. From childhood to adulthood, except for my parents and my sister, no one has ever called me by my name!)

(A name is something that only people who are very close to you can address, right?)

Seeing Pochi-chan's face suddenly turn red and she looked as if she was about to hide in a cardboard box in a panic, Kitahara Makoto suddenly felt happy.

Mr. Lu Shuren once said: I probably have some disease.

Kitahara Makoto felt that this was what he was like at the moment.

There is a symptom in psychology called "cute aggression syndrome", which says that when humans see something cute, they can't help but want to invade it and get pleasure from it.

I think I have a strange disease that makes me feel happy when I bully Pochi-chan.

As he was talking, Toyokawa Shoko ran out of the school, panting slightly:

"Sorry, I'm late."

Kitahara Makoto stretched out his right hand and said:

"No, you came just in time."

Toyokawa Shoko: “???”

"..."

Speechless all the way.

Tsukinomori Academy was not far away. The three of them took the train and arrived at Tsukinomori Academy in just twenty minutes.

"Is it okay to just walk in like this?" Kitahara Makoto complained, "That security guard is looking at us with a fierce look."

Toyokawa Shoko: "...The security guard is staring at you fiercely, and you're the only one!"

"Don't worry." Toyokawa Shoko assured softly, "...I was a student here before. The security guards and teachers all know me. Don't worry."

Under the leadership of Shoko Toyokawa, the three successfully passed the security checkpoint and entered the campus. Along the way, several girls even greeted Shoko Toyokawa.

"Toyokawa-san is very popular..."

Pochi-chan murmured quietly, with an envious look in her eyes.

I really want a campus life full of fun and fun with my friends.

Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a moment, then changed the subject:

"I usually go to the music classroom to play the piano after school. One week ago in the afternoon, the music classroom I usually go to was already occupied, so I had to switch to another classroom that was not being used... Now that I think about it, that music classroom seemed to have been sealed off for a long time, which was obviously a bit strange."

Led by Shoko Toyokawa, the three of them soon arrived at the abandoned music classroom.

I pushed the door open and walked in, only to see bright sunlight pouring in from the window. It looked ordinary and there was nothing special about it.

"Kitahara-san, did you find anything?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked over expectantly.

"Hmm..." Kitahara Makoto narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around carefully, and then shook his head, "I didn't see anything strange."

"When I came in, there was nothing in the classroom either. The evil spirit suddenly appeared only after I finished playing the piano." Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand to tuck the black hair by her ears and thought, "Could it be related to my playing the piano?"

Kitahara Makoto heard this and said:

"Since there is a direction, let's verify it."

"it is good."

Toyokawa Shoko exhaled lightly, walked to the piano and sat down, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, concentrated for a moment, then stretched out her snow-white, slender hands, and her slender fingers like scallions gracefully fell on the piano.

Soon, music like the sound of a spring began to sound. Even people who didn't know how to play the piano could feel the beauty of the melody.

"That's amazing!" Goto Ichiri opened his eyes wide with admiration, "Toyokawa-san's piano playing is so beautiful!"

"It does sound good, but..." Kitahara Makoto lowered his head and leaned closer, lowering his voice and saying, "I think the guitar played by Guitar Hero sounds better."

Xiao She's neck shrank in fear, and he looked down at his toes in panic, but the tips of his pink ears quickly turned red.

(Being praised by Kitahara-san... hehehe...)

"Ok?"

Kitahara Makoto looked at the piano and his eyes suddenly fixed.

Originally it was just an ordinary piano, but at this moment, in Kitahara Makoto's vision, there was clearly black mist spreading outward.

"A black mist appeared above the piano."

"Hey, hey, hey?" Goto Ichiri quickly hid behind Kitahara Makoto, carefully poked his little face out to look around, his expression blank, "Where is it? Where is it? Why can't I see it?"

Can’t see?

Kitahara Makoto raised his eyebrows slightly and quickly realized that the reason he could see the black mist was probably because of the exorcist monk's ability.

If that’s the case, won’t I often see evil spirits in the future?

hateful!

I really just want a peaceful daily life!

The song is over.

Toyokawa Shoko stood up and looked over: "Kitahara-san, did you find anything?"

"I saw a faint black mist coming out of the piano. I can be sure that this piano is very special." Kitahara said honestly, "But I didn't see any evil spirit appear."

"Is that so..." Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand to tuck the black hair by her ears, and said thoughtfully, "Maybe it has something to do with time."

"The first time I saw the evil spirit was at sunset."

"Dusk is the time of the devil, maybe that's the reason."

Kitahara Makoto nodded slightly and said:

"It's very likely... Then we'll wait a while."

"..."

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. The three of them waited silently in the music classroom. As time passed quietly, dusk came quietly.

"It's almost time." Toyokawa Shoko stood up again and walked to the piano and sat down. She took a deep breath and said, "... Kitahara-san, please."

Ding dong.

The beautiful piano sound rang out again.

This time, the black mist above the piano quickly became thicker, and even the temperature in the air began to drop rapidly, with a chill sweeping over.

"Ah..."

Goto Ichiri covered his nose and sneezed, his eyes inadvertently swept across the corner, his beautiful round eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously grabbed the corner of Kitahara Makoto's clothes:

"Kitahara-san!"

"...I saw it."

Kitahara Makoto looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl in transparent white clothes appear in the shadow of the fallen curtains. Her clothes were stained with blood, her hair was disheveled, and half of her lifeless pale face was vaguely revealed.

The worldview collapsed.

He came here this time, firstly for the reward of 100,000 yen, and secondly to witness with his own eyes whether evil spirits really existed.
