"What seven points?" Yuigahama Yui asked curiously.
"My rating standard."
General Zaimokuza Yoshiteru was trying to persuade the members of the art club by himself, and his various chuunibyou remarks and actions had already driven away the Service Club members, who pretended not to know him.
After Zaimokuza Yoshiteru gave up and left, a short person wearing a hat that obscured his face emerged from a corner of the clubroom.
"No sense of tension? Seven points?"
Sawamura Eriri stopped a club member and asked through gritted teeth, "Who was that tall guy just now?!"
...
Zaimokuza Yoshiteru fanned himself with his coat hem; his jacket was a bit too thick. He wiped off some sweat and said, "Next is the mystery toilet."
"It won't be just another ordinary place, will it?"
Hachiman Hikigaya no longer held any expectations for the so-called Seven School Mysteries.
"My friend, the previous ones were just a bit unlucky. The mystery toilet, however, has clear eyewitnesses."
"There's an abandoned toilet in the junior high section. As long as someone uses the toilet inside, the toilet paper will mysteriously disappear. It's said to be the work of Hanako in the toilet."
"Is it before wiping or after wiping?"
..."The rumor didn't say."
If it was before wiping, it would be somewhat normal, but if it was after wiping, this Hanako would probably be a pervert.
Then, they followed Zaimokuza Yoshiteru to the mystery toilet, which was a women's restroom.
Looking at the clear sign above, everyone fell silent.
"It's abandoned anyway, so it's fine to go in, right?"
Zaimokuza Yoshiteru tried to encourage everyone.
"What if there happens to be a female student inside? We'll be reporting to prison academy tomorrow."
Hachiman Hikigaya complained.
It was Yukinoshita Yukino who stepped forward. "I'll go in and take a look. Let's get this over with."
"I'll go with you." Yuigahama Yui also followed.
No sudden screams occurred, and after a moment, the two came out.
"There's no one inside."
Hachiman Hikigaya raised his hand and said, "I'll watch from outside to prevent anyone from intruding."
After all, another problem arose after going in: who would play the student currently using the toilet?
Zaimokuza Yoshiteru's original portrayal was immediately rejected, and it was finally decided to just make a show of it, with four people entering separately into the four stalls.
When Kisaragi Rin opened the toilet door with a tissue in hand, he saw Miss Hanako poking her head out of the toilet bowl.
Wearing a red and white school uniform from an unknown era, looking like a junior high student, she stared at Kisaragi Rin and let out a villainous laugh: "Hehehehe…"
"I actually ran into one."
Kisaragi Rin had thought that this time it would still be a ghost story made up by bored students.
Before Kisaragi Rin could sit down, this Hanako, who hadn't seen people for too long, had already impatiently floated out.
Kisaragi Rin somewhat disdainfully avoided her, even though she was a mystery, this Hanako had crawled out of a toilet.
Hanako confiscated the toilet paper from Kisaragi Rin's hand, but she didn't feel any fear; instead, there was a hint of disdain.
"Hehehehe…"
The villainous laugh appeared again, this time Hanako made it loud enough for ordinary people to hear, but she still didn't feel any fear.
"What's going on? Do students nowadays not fall for this anymore?"
Hanako rubbed her face, wondering if she should bleed a little and suddenly expose herself, but she was also afraid of playing too much and getting caught by some exorcist from an anime.
Ever since she inexplicably died on this land, she had been bound here. Later, a school was built, and this land happened to become a toilet, and she also became an existence like Hanako...
Sighing, Hanako had originally thought she could have a full meal today, but she didn't expect to scare anyone at all.
Bored, she floated in front of Kisaragi Rin, Hanako carefully examined this student, her face reddened by an inexplicable attraction, and she couldn't help but clamp her thighs together.
"If I do something, he shouldn't dare to speak out, right?"
Having encountered a rare mystery, Kisaragi Rin already planned to take her home to keep Sadako company.
Those ubiquitous evil spirits outside were neither rational nor capable of easily harming ordinary people, and critically, they looked grotesque.
But these rare mysteries were different: they had intelligence, could become stronger, and their appearance was more in line with the preferences of the Ghost Riders.
The two vastly different situations were also due to the existence of aptitude.
Because of the so-called evil spirit tide, people without aptitude who died would drive the aura to form evil spirits, while those with aptitude would become these conscious beings.
That's why evil spirits always kept shouting, "Can you see me? Can you see me?" Their purpose was to find players, kill them to gain aptitude, and thus regain their memories...
Before Kisaragi Rin could make a move, this Hanako had already drooled and slumped down, her fingers reaching for Kisaragi Rin's pants.
Kisaragi Rin: "…"
His outer layer was the Demonic Garment; a mere Hanako was unlikely to pull it off.
"Dead hand, why isn't it coming off yet?"
Having been dead for so long, this was the first time Hanako felt her heart beating. She pulled harder, and then she saw spreading shadows, her consciousness sinking.
Looking at the spider web in a corner of the toilet, Kisaragi Rin seemed to hear Spider Mother's laughter.
"Remember to give her a beating."
Kisaragi Rin said to the spider.
The spider in the toilet saluted him; it was Spider Mother controlling it.
"Did you hear a strange laugh? I was startled."
Yuigahama Yui asked curiously, clutching her chest.
"No, I didn't." Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Kisaragi; with her strengthened physique, she could naturally hear where the sound came from.
"We haven't encountered any mysteries again. Is this investigation going to fail?!"
To express his feelings, Zaimokuza Yoshiteru lightly hammered the wall.
Next was the mystery rooftop.
It was said that anyone who accepted confessions from two people there would suddenly die a violent death.
Unfortunately, there was a black-haired senior student on the rooftop, and under her gaze, which was like looking at an idiot, Zaimokuza Yoshiteru couldn't find anyone willing to accept two confessions simultaneously, so he could only retreat in defeat.
They also went to the mystery staircase and the mystery principal's office, all of which were, without exception, very normal places.
However, the mere appearance of Hanako had already surprised Kisaragi Rin.
After running back and forth on campus a few times, Yuigahama Yui was panting, clutching Kisaragi Rin's arm, and said with a bittersweet smile, "At least there's only one left, we can finally finish."
"Don't be too confident. The last one is specifically reserved by me for the end. If you're not careful, you could really lose your life!"
"So what's the last one?!"
Hachiman Hikigaya also wanted to go home. Having returned home too late for two consecutive nights, he had lost all trust, and his family even suspected he was being bullied.
"The mystery classroom!"
"An inexplicably extra person, a ghost whose appearance cannot be remembered, an unnamable entity wandering within the classroom."
"Countless people post about it; some have seen it, and the next moment, they start to forget!"
