Pinch Yotsuba's face

"Eh, where's Ichika?"

Yotsuba only to realize that Ichika has disappeared.

"Don't know."

"Didn't he run with us?"

Several girls started talking about it, until one girl hesitated to speak.

"Did she stay in the dormitory building and not come out?"

The air suddenly calmed down.

A group of girls looked at the abandoned dorm in front of them.

Under the cold, hazy moonlight.

The abandoned dormitory building was desolate and depressing, like a pitch-black giant crouching in a corner, quietly waiting for someone to come to the door.

Yotsuba's face turned pale, she was about to run towards the dormitory building.

"Yotsuba, wait a moment." A girl in a high ponytail hurriedly grabbed Yotsuba's arm, "Don't be impulsive."

"There's a headless ghost inside, it's too dangerous."

"Let's wait a moment and call the teacher to come over?"

Some of the girls in the mess, obviously didn't want to let the Yotsuba take stupid risks – it was understandable to do so, if it was in a horror movie world, if Yotsuba entered alone, it would be 100% death.

But...

"I'll go in and look for Ichika."

Naoki spoke calmly, interrupting the commotion of the girls.

A group of girls looked on in unison.

Facing the shocked eyes of the group of girls, Naoki sighed: "You didn't think it was a ghost just now, did you?"

"Eh?" Yotsuba was surprised, "Isn't that a ghost?"

Naoki looked at Yotsuba and nodded lightly: "Of course not."

"Asakawa-san is trying to say that someone is playing a prank?"

A girl quickly understood the meaning of Naoki's words.

"That's right, it was just a joke." Naoki's voice was flat and unhurried, but he had an inexplicable reassuring power, "Forest School has been held for many years, if there are ghosts, it doesn't make sense only we are unlucky enough to meet, the school will not choose to doing dorms in a place like this."

For a moment, several girls nodded one after another.

"Asakawa-san is right."

"It turns out that someone secretly made a joke."

"This is vile, take that person out and beat him."

"But the ghost's head fell…" A girl hesitated, "Humans can't do that kind of thing, can they?"

Hearing these words, the girl who was slightly relieved, became nervous again and looked at Naoki.

Naoki sighed.

People say what they say.

No opinion.

Strongly say that women are troublesome creatures

"You've never seen magic before?"

"Once."

Several girls raised their hands.

"The so-called magic is about tricking the eye." Naoki explained, "The magic of dropping the head is actually very simple, if it's really a ghost, it's scarier than dropping the head on the arm, why not go straight to the ground, and roll around like a ball?"

"It seems… that makes sense."

A group of girls nodded.

The explanation of magic is more plausible and convincing than Schrödinger's ghost.

"I'll go in and look for Ichika."

Naoki waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the abandoned dormitory building.

"I'll go too."

Yotsuba's expression was serious, and she wanted to follow along, it was impossible to leave Ichika alone and ignore her.

"How dare you do such a terrible joke." Nanako followed, "I will beat it."

"Uh, Anego?"

The two bad girls were very shocked, when did Anego, who was usually afraid of ghosts, actually beat up ghosts?

This reasoning is not convincing at all!

"Let's go together?"

Several girls looked at each other, gathered their courage, and followed.

Naoki turned his head, although these girls often asked the Yotsuba to help the klin, they were quite loyal at critical times, and didn't leave the Yotsuba to escape alone.

"Don't follow me, you can stay here and wait for me." Naoki sighed and muttered under his breath, "That prankster might not be alone, apart from a ghost that was beheaded, it's very likely that we will meet again, it will be more troublesome if you guys are afraid to cry again."

"Pah!"

"You look down on women."

"To say such a thing, Asakawa-san is exaggerating."

A group of girls came one after another to scold and criticize Naoki, but they forgot all the tension and worries just now.

Naoki waved his hand, turned around and walked to the abandoned apartment building.

The hall on the first floor was still empty, silent, Naoki lit up with the light of his cell phone, and didn't see any trace of Ichika, so he prepared to walk upstairs.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded from behind.

"Asakawa-san, wait for me." A girl ran from outside, panting, "I will search with you."

Naoki turned his head to look at the girl behind him with a serious expression: "Who are you?"

"Eh?" The girl said in surprise, "What Asakawa-san is talking about, of course I'm Yotsuba!"

"I do not believe."

"Why do not you believe?"

"The green hair accessory on his head is missing, and she even says that she is a Yotsuba." Naoki half narrowed his eyes with a wary expression "I suspect you are a ghost disguised as a Yotsuba."

"Not that." Yotsuba raised his hand and touched the top of his head, "The hair accessory just got stained, and there's a lot of ash on it. I was in a hurry to come, so I asked my friends to help save."

Naoki said unmoved: "Please prove that you are a Yotsuba."

"How to prove it." Yotsuba said doubtfully, "When we went to Kamakura to soak in the hot springs, wasn't there a dream in the samurai era."

The five sisters all chose to keep the matters of the dream world a secret, after all no one would believe it.

"It should be." Naoki firmly said "But I want to verify it one last time."

"Eh?"

Naoki reached out his right hand, pinched Yotsuba's cheek, and pulled it lightly, only to feel that it was soft and smooth, making one unable to stop.

Yotsuba raised her pretty face, pitifully: "...It hurts."

"Sure enough, it's the Yotsuba."

Naoki nodded lightly, Yotsuba is a little angel helping at school, and it's the same in dreams. When the Kamakura Shogunate was on an adventure, when she met enemies on the way, she always wanted to help and was often captured by Naoki.

"How can there be such an appraisal method." Yotsuba puffed out her cheeks, showing that she was also a hot-tempered person, "Asakawa-san bullied me."

"The situation is unclear right now, and you must be vigilant at all times." Naoki let go of his hand, "Hurry up and find Ichika."

"Oh."

Yotsuba covered his cheeks and hurriedly followed.
