After eating, the two of them rested in the restaurant for a while.
After all, it was noon now, and the sun was scorching outside.
There weren't many customers in the restaurant, so they weren't taking up seats.
...When they arrived at the entrance of the haunted house, there were a lot of people queuing.
But Mochizuki and Shiina had no intention of giving up.
No matter which amusement park, the haunted house is a very attractive attraction.
Children like it, and adults are also interested.
Even with some timidness, they couldn't help but go in to explore.
After all, in reality, people don't believe in the existence of ghosts and know that the scenes in haunted houses are a combination of various props and NPCs.
Therefore, they see the haunted house more as a place to test their courage.
The line reached Mochizuki and Shiina Mahiru, but because there were multiple entrances, they were asked to separate.
Shiina Mahiru was a little disappointed, so Mochizuki and Shiina Mahiru decided to have a competition to see who could get through the haunted house first.
Since they couldn't think of a good bet for the time being, they decided that the loser would agree to one condition.
Suddenly, Shiina Mahiru felt full of motivation.
Before entering the haunted house, each person received a mask, which they were told they could wear inside to increase the sense of participation in the game.
Mochizuki put on the mask and entered the dark and mysterious haunted house passage.
After entering the haunted house, Mochizuki felt a chill.
Mochizuki now understood why this haunted house required everyone to wear masks when entering.
The masks all had relatively strange patterns, which didn't feel like much in the bright light outside.
Inside the haunted house, in the dark environment, with dim vision, when the slightly green light shone on the masks.
It looked quite creepy.
Making you mistake them for ghost NPCs and not daring to approach your companions easily.
Mochizuki walked around in the haunted house, the terrain was a bit winding, and occasionally he could hear some wailing sounds and girls' screams.
It should have been caused by the people ahead.
Mochizuki continued walking forward, everything was going smoothly so far.
Occasionally he could see some bloody corpses hanging in mid-air or lying on the ground, but he managed to avoid them all.
Could it be that the NPCs forgot about him? It seemed victory would be his.
Quickening his pace, Mochizuki continued walking forward.
"Ouch!" "Hey, that hurts!" Two voices sounded, one was Mochizuki's, and the other was a girl's voice.
It turned out that Mochizuki had tripped over something on the ground and almost fell, but luckily he held onto the wall.
Mochizuki felt the voice was a bit familiar but couldn't remember who it was.
Looking towards the ground, he could only vaguely see a figure huddled up.
Fortunately, at this moment, another dim light flashed, allowing both sides to see each other clearly.
"Ah—ah—ah." Mochizuki was startled, startled by the other party's scream, the echo inside the haunted house was too good!
At the same time, Mochizuki saw clearly who the person on the ground was, it turned out to be Yui Yuigahama, she was holding her calf and leaning against the wall behind her.
And Yui Yuigahama was startled by the white imp mask Mochizuki was wearing.
She was already hiding in a place like this, how could a ghost still come knocking!
Mochizuki didn't expect to finally meet Yui Yuigahama, and in the haunted house, with just the two of them.
Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, and it seemed Yui Yuigahama hadn't discovered who he was.
It seemed that as long as he didn't take off his mask, Yui Yuigahama's intelligence alone shouldn't be able to figure out who he was.
If Mochizuki turned around and left now, Yui Yuigahama would be even less likely to discover him, but Mochizuki wasn't that kind of person.
"Cough cough!" Mochizuki tried to lower his voice, which instead made it sound a bit strange.
"Sumimasen, I accidentally stepped on you, are you okay?"
Yui Yuigahama saw that the other party apologized and knew it was a player wearing a mask.
"No, I'm fine, no!" "Something is wrong."
Yui Yuigahama thought, what if she said she was fine and the other person turned around and left.
Yui Yuigahama came to the haunted house with her two good friends, but she never expected that everyone would have to separate.
Being bad with directions, she got lost shortly after entering.
After walking around a few times, feeling like she was going in circles, she had just found a place to sit down and rest for a while, and as a result, she was stepped on by Mochizuki.
"So, is something wrong or not?"
"I'm lost, and my foot was stepped on by you." Yui Yuigahama said pitifully.
Lost, huh? Mochizuki thought it was understandable, the terrain inside was too complex, winding around like a maze, and he was also walking by intuition.
"I'm sorry, I'll help you up and take you out."
"Okay."
He helped Yui Yuigahama up, and then Yui Yuigahama followed Mochizuki as they searched for the exit together.
As they walked, Yui Yuigahama would startle at the slightest sound.
Whenever Mochizuki stepped on dry branches on the ground, or small animals occasionally popped out, Yui Yuigahama would let out a scream.
The suddenly appearing female ghost with disheveled hair, coupled with a terrifying sound, scared Yui Yuigahama into hiding behind Mochizuki.
Mochizuki felt that his ears were suffering greatly.
"Can you stop being so jumpy? Even a real ghost would be scared away by you."
"But it's really scary."
"Then why did you come in? It's fake, it's all fake."
Continuing to walk forward, this passage was very quiet, eerily quiet.
Yui Yuigahama probably couldn't stand this eerie atmosphere and couldn't help but speak to bolster her courage.
"Are you a student?"
"Yes."
"Did you come by yourself?"
"Yes."
"Can you only say yes?"
"No."
"Then why aren't you talking to me!"
"Hmph... Indifferent guy."
Yui Yuigahama thought unhappily to herself, how could he be so indifferent to a cute girl, it was too hateful.
As for Mochizuki, he was just thinking of talking less to avoid revealing himself.
...Finally, under Mochizuki's guidance, a glimmer of light came from the front, it was the exit.
The two of them sped up and walked to the exit.
They saw that the exit was crowded with people, who were likely waiting for their companions.
After safely escorting Yui Yuigahama out, Mochizuki turned around to slip away.
If Yui Yuigahama and her companions saw him with Shiina Mahiru, it would be difficult to explain.
And his eyes were scanning around for Shiina Mahiru.
"Thank you..."
"Hey, wait a minute..."
Yui Yuigahama turned sideways to thank him, but only saw Mochizuki's back, and pouted unhappily.
As expected, he was an indifferent guy...
Then Yui Yuigahama noticed that this back looked a bit familiar, but also not quite right, his hair seemed much shorter.
"What's wrong, Yui? What are you looking at?"
"So slow, what took you so long?"
It was Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hina who had come looking for her, they had been waiting for Yui Yuigahama for quite a while.
They looked at Yui Yuigahama strangely, thinking she hadn't recovered from the haunted house.
"Ah, I got lost, boohoo."
"Nothing, I thought I saw someone I knew from school, I must have been mistaken. Hehe."
After saying that, Yui Yuigahama showed her carefree smile again.
"There are too many people here, let's leave quickly."
"Okay!"
