"Are you afraid of ghosts and monsters?"
Hearing Lin's first question, both Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana's expressions subtly changed.
Then Yurikawa Hana awkwardly touched her head:
"Actually, I'm really scared of ghosts and monsters, and generally, most girls are, right?"
"Miko, what do you think?"
After speaking, she turned to look at her best friend.
If it weren't for the bright sunshine and many people around, she probably wouldn't have agreed to this interview.
Even if Lin was very handsome.
"Mm, me too."
Withdrawing her gaze from Lin, Yotsuya Miko looked at Yurikawa Hana, concurring with a slight smile.
Her smile was a little forced, though.
Of course she was scared.
How could she not be scared?
If anyone here was the most afraid, she felt it was definitely herself.
"Alright, second question."
Lin nodded and continued:
"Do you think ghosts and monsters truly exist in this world?"
"Ah…"
Yurikawa Hana couldn't help but freeze.
Do ghosts and monsters really exist?
As someone who had received compulsory education, though she was very scared, she didn't actually believe in real ghosts and monsters.
So after a moment of愣, she couldn't help but say with a smile:
"Of course not, right, Miko?"
Saying this, she looked at Yotsuya Miko again.
"Right…"
Yotsuya Miko suppressed the complex emotions in her heart, clenching her hands tightly, a forced smile on her lips.
Her peripheral vision darted to the side.
The terrifying evil spirit that had originally been following Yurikawa Hana had, at some point, closed its large mouth.
It stared intently at Lin.
Its dark, hollow eye sockets seemed to harbor endless malice.
It stretched out its withered, bluish, mummified right hand and waved it in front of Lin, then retracted it.
It opened its mouth again to absorb Yurikawa Hana's life energy.
A blood-red eye subtly opened on its left cheek, its pupil rotating, seemingly staring at everyone present.
"Do you have any more questions?"
Yurikawa Hana, unaware of the abnormality, looked at Lin.
If possible, she hoped this topic would end soon.
After all, she truly didn't want to discuss ghosts and monsters.
As if sensing her thoughts, Lin said with a smile:
"No, thank you for accepting my interview."
"As a token of my gratitude, how about this: I'll treat you both to a drink. What do you think?"
"No need, that's too kind."
Although Yurikawa Hana felt a momentary inclination, she shook her head, about to refuse.
After all, this interview only had two questions.
Yotsuya Miko next to them didn't offer any opinion, as she was currently trying to suppress the fear in her heart.
The evil spirit seemed to have gotten stronger!
The extra blood-red eye on its face, even a glance from her peripheral vision, sent a chill down her spine.
She felt her mind was being polluted.
Terrifying, so terrifying!
Lin ignored the evil spirit's change; seeing Yurikawa Hana about to refuse, he smiled and said:
"It's necessary. After all, I asked you about things you dislike, so please let me make a small compensation."
"Then… alright."
Yurikawa Hana hesitated for a moment, but eventually agreed.
Then she looked at Yotsuya Miko.
Yotsuya Miko, trying hard to keep her attention on Lin and Yurikawa Hana, nodded gently in agreement.
She always felt Lin was strange.
So she wanted to interact with him more, perhaps to discover something.
Thus, the three people plus one evil spirit headed to a nearby drink shop.
The three walked and chatted.
Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana also revealed their names.
Lin looked at them, asking with a smile: "From your appearance, you're high school students, right?"
"Yes, first year high school."
Yurikawa Hana nodded with a smile.
Lin asked again: "Which school are you from?"
Yurikawa Hana didn't hide it: "Private United High School."
Private United High School, its full name is Private United High School.
"What a coincidence, I'm actually also from United High School."
Lin raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Huh, you too!"
Both Yurikawa Hana and Yotsuya Miko were surprised to hear this.
They clearly hadn't expected the super handsome guy who suddenly struck up a conversation with them on the street to be a classmate from the same school.
This was truly a big coincidence.
Lin: "Indeed, it seems we have quite a strong connection."
He was genuinely a little surprised in his heart.
Because in the half-month since he enrolled, he hadn't met Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana at school.
He hadn't met them at school.
But he met them outside of school.
Of course, this was also the result of his deliberate choice; otherwise, he wouldn't have met Yotsuya Miko and them today.
After realizing they were classmates from the same school, Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana seemed to relax a bit more.
A little while later, at the drink shop.
Not only did it offer various beverages, but it also provided desserts.
Lin and the two girls went to six automatic drink machines, and after a short queue, chose the drinks they wanted.
"You two go find a seat first, I'll go check out the desserts."
Yurikawa Hana handed the prepared drink to Yotsuya Miko, then grinned and said to Lin.
She quickly walked towards the dessert area.
After seeing the pictures of the desserts, her mouth was already watering.
Seeing this, Lin and Yotsuya Miko took their drinks and found an empty table in the shop to sit down.
Lin took a sip of his drink.
Looking at Yotsuya Miko across from him, he smiled slightly and said softly:
"Yotsuya-san, you seem not to have slept well last night."
"What do you mean?!"
Yotsuya Miko's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, her heart like a calm surface of water suddenly struck by a large stone.
"No particular meaning."
Lin at this moment transformed into a riddler.
He smiled and then said: "I'm just a passing paranormal story enthusiast, don't overthink it."
"???"
Yotsuya Miko was filled with doubt and surprise.
Although he told her not to overthink it, with Lin acting and saying these things, how could she not overthink it?
Both overtly and covertly, he implied something.
'Could he also see those ghosts and monsters like me?'
'And has he also discovered that I can see ghosts and monsters?'
'But from earlier until now, he hasn't looked at all like he can see ghosts and monsters.'
'Is he pretending?'
'Can he actually see ghosts and monsters? And what does he want by deliberately saying these things to me?'
One thought after another popped up in Yotsuya Miko's mind.
Although she really wanted to understand, she knew Lin was being deliberately mysterious and clearly wouldn't say anything now.
Annoying riddler!
A little while later, Yurikawa Hana found the two with desserts.
Twenty minutes passed in a flash.
The three walked out of the store, Lin looked at the two and said with a smile:
"How about exchanging email addresses? Since we're from the same school, we can hang out together sometime."
As he spoke, he took out his phone.
"Sure."
Yurikawa Hana immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.
At the same time, she took out her phone and exchanged email addresses with Lin.
After exchanging, Lin looked at Yotsuya Miko with a slight smile:
"Yotsuya-san, won't you exchange with me?"
"Okay."
Their eyes met with Lin's, and Yotsuya Miko's gaze flickered slightly.
Then she took out her phone.
The two quickly finished exchanging.
Putting away his phone, Lin bid farewell to Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana:
"Then let's part ways here. See you next time."
"See you next time, bye-bye."
Yurikawa Hana had a cheerful, radiant smile on her face.
Lin smiled at the two of them, then turned and left.
"!!!"
Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened slightly.
The monster that had been following Yurikawa Hana suddenly looked at Lin and actually followed him away.
