Episode 2 - Takuya High School Arc

“Eh? Are those new students?”

“Dunno I’ve never seen them here before.”

“Maybe their foreigners, they have weird hair and eye colors.”

“It looks like we’re attracting a lot of attention.” Oda said.

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it.” Riku added.

“Hmm, hey what class are you guys in?” Maiyuu asked.

“I’m in 2-B, Mr. Nishi’s class.” Riku said.

“Eh? How come I’m in class 3-C?” Maiyuu asked.

“They put us all in different classrooms so that we have a better chance catching the ghost.” Oda answered.

“Let’s see.. I have class 2-A, Mrs. Misaki.” Oda said.

“What about you two?” Oda asked.

“3-A.” Akane said.

“3-B, Mr. Teijo.” Shou said.

“Alright, we should be going to our classes now.” Riku said.

“See you guys.”

2-B

“Alright class, today we have a new student.” Mr. Nishi announced.

“Hey aren’t there a lot of new students today?”

“Yeah my friend just texted me and she said there was a new student in her class too.”

“Hello, I’m Kei Tatsuo.” Riku said.

“Wow he’s quite handsome.”

“Golden eyes? Are those contacts?”

Riku’s thoughts: We should’ve gotten disguises.

“Alright class settle down.” Mr. Nishi said.

2-A

“Hello, I’m Jin Yuji.” Oda said with a smile.

All hell broke loose once Oda stepped in the classroom. The screams of fangirls were audible even outside the school.

“Ugh youngsters these days.” Mrs. Misaki said shaking her head.

3-C

“Hello! I’m Mai-” “Eh.. uh what was my name again?” “Was it Maki? No. Or was it Makino?” “Ahh, Tsk. What was it?” Maiyuu muttered.

“Hey, do you think there’s something wrong with the new girl?”

“I don’t know, seems like she forgot her name.”

“Hey! Let me tell you, all the hot chicks are dumb.”

“Huh? What do you even know.”

“Hey Ms. Sachiko! What’s wrong with the new girl?”

“Umm.. Mayumi? Is there something wrong?” Ms. Sachiko asked.

“Oh! That’s right my names Mayumi!” Maiyuu announced.

The classroom was silent until one of the boys started hysterically laughing which made the whole classroom laugh along.

“Haha.. this new girl is a real comedian!” One boy yelled.

Maiyuu’s thoughts: Phew.. I thought I blew my cover already.

3-A

The classroom was filled with conversations while the teacher was no where to be seen.

“Hey where do you think Mr. Minoru is?”

“Hmm, who knows.”

“He probably had another fight with his wife this morning.”

“Haha! True!”

Akane stepped inside the room which made everyone go silent.

“Hey who is she?”

“Hey, um I think your in the wrong class. Everyone in this class is ugly.”

“Way to self report yourself. Haha.”

“3-A.” Akane said.

“Oh wait! She must be one of the new kids!”

“What?!?”

“Wow. She’s really pretty.”

“Not as pretty as our school princess though!”

“What are you talking about? Of course this girl..uh… What’s your name?”

“Mina.”

“Mina is way prettier than Yuka!”

“Huh? But you just met her!?”

“You don’t need to get to know someone to know that they’re beautiful.”

Akane’s thoughts: The teacher is late. I should make a note of this.

“Hey new girl! Come sit over here!”

“Her names Mina.”

“Yeah yeah whatever.”

A flashback of what 026 said came into Akane’s mind.

“You guys should try and act like normal high schoolers as much as possible—try and make friends with people to find out more information about the ghost.”

3-B

“Please introduce yourself.” Mr. Teijo said.

“Sato Hiro.” Shou said.

“Wow he’s so cute!”

“He’s totally my type!”

“Alrigh alright. Just because we have a new student that doesn’t mean we don’t have work to do.” Mr. Teijo said.”

3-A

“Oh by the way, my names Yuki, and this is Suri.” Yuki said.

Akane stayed silent.

Yuki looked at Akane in a annoyed way before saying, “What are you? A robot?”

“Hey stop it Yuki! Maybe she’s just shy.” Suri said.

Akane stayed silent once again.

“Or.. maybe she is.” Suri whispered.

Akane got up at once which surprised everyone in the room.

“A-Ah. Sorry!” Suri apologized.

“Is there a ghost here?” Akane asked.

Everyone in the room looked at her.

“Who’s the ghost?” Akane asked directly.

The room went silent.

The sinister looks on their faces surprised Akane.

“Haha. Your funny!” Everyone started laughing.

Akane’s thoughts: There’s something off.

3-B

“Uhm excuse me, Mr. Teijo?” Another teacher said.

“Huh? What is it?” Mr Teijo answered.

“The principal needs you.” The teacher said.

“Are kidding me?”

“I’m in the middle of teaching.” Mr. Teijo said. “Here watch the class for me.”

“WOO!”

“Finally he’s gone!”

“Yay!”

“Hey Sato, was it?”

“Come over here.”

The group that called him over had 6 people—3 girls and 3 boys.

Shou went over to them.

“Wow. He really is a hottie.” One of the girls said.

“Yuka, don’t make me have to tell Rio about this.” One of the guys said.

“Oh come on Itto! It’s just a compliment.” Yuka said.

Shou’s thoughts: So he is Itto. And that girl is Yuka.

“Alright alright.” Itto said.

“Let’s introduce ourselves.”

“I’m Itto.”

“And I’m Yuka.”

“I’m Ai!”

“Yo, I’m Aoi, I’m Ai’s twin.”

“Hello! I’m Ayami”

“Ahem. Naoto it’s your turn.”

“Oh. Sorry, I was just finishing this level.”

“I’m Naoto.”

2-B

Riku’s thoughts: So far everything has been normal.

“Alright. That’s all for today.” Mr. Nishi said.

Riku’s thoughts: Huh? Isn’t there still 20 minutes left of class?

“Ah.. Finally!”

“Let’s go.”

Riku’s thoughts: Wait.. Where are they all going?

“Hey should we bring the new kid?” Someone whispered.

“It’s best to wait for her command.” Another person whispered.

3-C

Maiyuu slept through the whole class and when she woke up she found the class empty.

“Huh?”

“Where did everyone go?”

“Wait! Don’t tell me I’m late!”

Then Maiyuu caught a glimpse at the clock.

“What? There’s still 20 minutes left of class.”

2-A

Oda’s thoughts: Nothing out of ordinary.

Oda’s thoughts: Is there even a L.O.A.H here? It seems like it’s just some lousy rumor.

Just a little after Oda’s thought—people could be heard in the hall.

“Are kidding me? Can’t they be quieter if they’re gonna skip class!?” Mrs. Misaki said in annoyance.

Mrs. Misaki opened the door and yelled, “Hey!”

However the noise was silenced once she opened the door and no one was in the halls.

“Huh?” “Did they get away?” Mrs. Misaki asked.

Oda’s thoughts: Or maybe it’s not just a lousy rumor.

3-A

Akane’s thoughts: Since the teacher isn’t here and it seems like he’ll never be coming—I should go look for him.

Just as before Akane was going to leave the classroom she was stopped by a tall guy with orange hair.

“Where are you going?” He asked.

“I need to use the restroom.” Akane answered.

Everyone stared at Akane with sinister eyes.

Akane’s thoughts: Seems like they won’t be letting me out any time soon.

“Hey.” Akane said.

“Can you move?”

“Hah. You’ve been suspicious all this time.”

“I won’t be letting you leave.”

“Ha?”

Akane sighed and said, “It’s a girl thing.”

“Huh?” The guy stared at her with confusion.

The girls in the classroom realized what was going on.

“Ahem.”

“Yu, let her go.” One girl said.

“Huh? Why?” He asked.

“Didn’t she just say it’s a girl thing?” The girl asked.

“What?”

“Oh my god! You idiot just let her go!” Another girl said.

One guy sighed and said, “God. He truly is an idiot.”

“What?!? Why are you all ganging up on me?!” Yu asked.

“Fine!” He said.

Akane’s thoughts: Finally.

After leaving the classroom in search for the teacher Akane bumped into Riku.

“It seems like the others are still at their classrooms” Riku said.

Akane nodded and said, “My teacher seems to be missing.”

“Mr. Nishi left 20 minutes early, as well as the students.” Riku said.

Riku sighed and said, “This is going to be a lot harder since the only communication we have is from phone.” “And it’s not guaranteed that the others will answer their phone.”

Then a loud scream could be heard.

...----------------...

“A-Ah, I-I’m sorry!” “It won’t happen again I swear!”

“Hah.” “Won’t happen again?” “Oh please!” “You all say the same thing.”

“I-I swear!”

“Erika! Please spare me!” The girl cried.

“How dare you say me name! You filthy peasant.”

“You should know your place.” “You betrayed me yet ask for mercy?” “HAH!” “How funny is that?”

The girl continued to beg for mercy.

“I wonder how you even managed to escape my mind control.”

“Hey. Tell me. Unless you don’t want to be spared.”

“I-I’ll tell you everything..!”
