Hanawa Amakawa finished recounting the rumor she had once heard, her throat dry. She naturally picked up Ho Fei-yu's water from the table and drank it heartily, gulpgulpgulp.
Feeling the sweet water generously moisturize her mouth, she reluctantly put it down once satisfied. She turned to look at Yūshin Aonoi's expression, saw that she was scared, and felt a sense of contentment. Then she lowered her head to look at Ho Fei-yu, noticing that his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, seemingly deep in thought, and he didn't appear frightened by the strange tale at all.
That's right. Yu-kun was always so reliable in front of her. How could he be flustered by a simple horror story? But why am I so uncomfortable!
The girl remembered how, the first time she heard this tale, she slept with the lights on for several nights when she was home alone. She immediately felt a little unbalanced, and started playfully rubbing the boy's face on her thigh.
Yu-kun's face was so smooth and delicate. It felt so good to rua it~ Why hadn't she noticed this before~ If she had discovered it sooner, she could have enjoyed it earlier~
Hanawa Amakawa decided to have Ho Fei-yu use her lap as a pillow more often so she could take the opportunity to rua his face.
Her immersive enjoyment didn't last long when she felt a slight pain in her little finger, followed by something warm and moist wrapping around it and sucking on it. The girl looked down, her pretty face instantly flushing, and her heart rate quickened. Her rubbing motion stopped.
Ho Fei-yu was searching his mind for anime related to the story Hanawa Amakawa told. He believed that even if supernatural events existed in this world, they would conform to the Ura-Sekai (Reverse World), meaning they would be centered around naughty themes, and not just purely supernatural horror.
His related memories were becoming clearer, but the constant rubbing on his face interrupted his thoughts. So, he playfully brought one of the girl's fingers to his mouth and sucked on it, stopping her actions.
The girl did indeed stop. He also recalled the relevant anime.
Two figures, one red and one white, floated in his mind.
The girl in the red figure was eccentric and vicious, while the girl in the white figure was mischievous and cute.
Based on the events that had just occurred, the red one clearly didn't fit. If it were the red one, the three of them wouldn't have finished their meal safely.
According to the plot and Hanawa Amakawa's story, the white girl roughly matched, despite minor differences. In the anime from his previous life, the girl died after being sexually assaulted by a scum teacher, which was different from Hanawa-chan's story of her accidentally hitting the wall and dying.
However, Ho Fei-yu wasn't too concerned. He had deliberately started forgetting the anime he had watched in his previous life a long time ago.
Because he found that the girls now were flesh-and-blood, living people, not just characters in an anime from his previous life who were arbitrarily violated and raped. His existence was meant to rewrite the girls' tragic destinies. As long as he was here, those disgusting NTR individuals would not be able to repeat their acts. Their only fate was to be crushed to death.
Now that he had confirmed it was the White Hanako, Ho Fei-yu was no longer worried about any trouble. At most, the playful girl would trick him, and he would simply treat it as playing along with a little girl.
Yūshin Aonoi was still lost in the horror story Hanawa Amakawa had told. The girl was already timid, and the mention of Hanako of the Toilet and the terrifying Blood-Colored Love Letter made her anxious.
Only the warmth of the boy's legs in her hands offered some comfort.
She finally managed to calm down and was about to suggest leaving the classroom where someone had died when she raised her eyes and noticed a red mark on the dilapidated podium.
Had that been there from the start?
Yūshin Aonoi recalled that the Blood-Colored Love Letter was also red. Could it be...
"F-Fei-yu-kun, look... look at the red thing on the podium. Is it..."
The girl's anxious heart pounded faster and faster, feeling like it might burst out of her chest at any moment. She swallowed hard, slowly turned her head, and whispered nervously to the couple who were affectionately entwined.
Hanawa Amakawa heard her and thought Yūshin Aonoi was scared by her story. She intended to comfort her, telling her not to worry, that they were just rumors, and almost every school had a strange tale. She herself had only managed to rationalize it after quite some time, so she empathized.
"How could it be..."
But for some strange reason, Hanawa Amakawa also glanced at the podium and indeed saw a spot of red on the white podium. There had been nothing there when she entered the classroom.
Ho Fei-yu, who had initially thought nothing major would happen, heard the girls' trembling voices. He quickly sat up, followed their gaze, and also saw something that looked like an envelope.
It looks like Hanako is trying to scare them.
"It's okay, Yūshin didn't see anything, didn't see anything..."
Ho Fei-yu quickly reached out and covered the eyes of the frightened Yūshin Aonoi, speaking softly.
Hearing his voice, Yūshin Aonoi's panicked expression slowly became calm and peaceful.
Ho Fei-yu used hypnosis, putting the girl into a light sleep to prevent her from being too scared. People in extreme panic could potentially be scared to death, after all.
Hanawa Amakawa was much better than Yūshin Aonoi. Although she was scared, it hadn't reached that point.
"Hanawa-chan, watch Yūshin-chan for me. I'll go see what's going on."
Ho Fei-yu picked up Yūshin Aonoi, placed her next to Hanawa Amakawa, and instructed the girl.
"Mhm."
Hanawa Amakawa nodded heavily. Compared to the ghost story, she was more worried about failing to carry out Ho Fei-yu's instructions.
Because Hanawa Amakawa had a succubus aura, any malicious attack directed at her would activate an immunity barrier against all attacks within a certain range. This was why Ho Fei-yu dared to confidently entrust Yūshin Aonoi to her care.
He slowly walked to the podium. Indeed, there was a red envelope on it that was abnormally vivid in color.
Ho Fei-yu reached out, wanting to check if it was some kind of illusory ghost trick, but when his hand touched the envelope, he felt a real texture.
Ho Fei-yu held the envelope in his hand and instinctively placed it beneath his nose to smell it. A strong, pungent smell of blood rushed into his nasal cavity, yet it wasn't completely unpleasant. It actually carried a hint of sweetness.
It definitely wasn't because he had awakened some kind of vampire bloodline; it genuinely had a faint trace of the girl's body scent. He had experienced so much that he couldn't be mistaken.
Ho Fei-yu curiously tore open the envelope. Knowing it was the White Hanako reduced his fear significantly. If the girl's personality hadn't changed much from the anime, it was very likely just a prank.
Looking at the beautiful, delicate, and lively handwriting, stroke by stroke, like a mischievous elf, the already non-frightening atmosphere faded even more.
Ho Fei-yu read the contents, which were roughly a shy confession from a girl in her adolescence to the boy she liked. He could tell from the lines that Hanako genuinely liked the boy.
Just thinking about the girl's tragic ending, Ho Fei-yu couldn't help but feel sorry for her, and his hatred for the scum of this world intensified.
"Hanako, come out. Let's talk."
Ho Fei-yu put the letter back into the envelope, placed it on the podium, and after a moment of thought, spoke to the air.
He sensed a potential benefit in this situation. He guessed that if he helped Hanako pass on, he would likely receive a system reward. On the other hand, it was also out of pity for Hanako.
"Oh!? You're really different from everyone else. You're not afraid of me. Hehe, tell me, what do you want to talk about?"
As expected, the girl's clear voice sounded in his ear, though her figure remained invisible.
