(…… I wonder how hard it is for people who work in haunted houses at amusement parks and such.)
I suddenly think as I wait alone in the shade of the grass.
Under the chilly night sky, the wind is somewhat gently caressing my skin.
In such a situation, the work is just to scare the students back to their original position every time they leave.
At first, I thought, “Oh! They’re properly surprised!”
But after half of the time, all I could think was, “I can’t wait to go to bed.”
This was one of those moments that really shows how hard it is to work in a haunted house.
I think it might be more difficult to work outside, where it is a little cold and there are bugs around.
(Well, I’ll do it if it makes them enjoy it, but ……, here we are…)
I hear footsteps, and I hold my breath even more than before.
And just as the students were about to pass by—
“Uboh!!!!”
“”Kyaaaahhhh!!!”””
The three girls let out high-pitched screams just as they stepped out of the bushes.
One of them fell on her buttocks, but she quickly got up and slinked away.
“I-I really can’t take it anymore!”
“I don’t know, but it’s a little addictive ……”
“I’ll ask my boyfriend to do it every time I see him.”
I feel sorry for her boyfriend, so please don’t do it to him.
(Oops, here comes the next one……)
Once again, I lower myself and hide in the bushes.
I guess it’s because of the time, the timing of coming to me is rather quick.
I timed my appearance so that I could get a good reaction from the next one…
“Uboh!!!!”
“””””…………………”””””
Talk about something.
(…… heartbroken)
I wonder if this is how it feels to see someone come to a concert thinking, “I don’t know this artist.”
It was a mental breakdown for me. I wish they would at least react a little.
(Hmm?)
While I was feeling down, three girls passed in front of me with great force.
It was too dark to make out their faces, but they were so fast that I lost my timing to come out.
It would be extremely dangerous to run in a place like this. …… What on earth was going on?
(Well, someone will warn them)
With that in mind, I waited in the bushes again.
And to the next person who came along—
“Uboh!”
“Kya!”
When I startled her, she fell on her buttocks.
But that girl was alone. And it was the girl I talked with today.
“What, Sakurazaka? What’s wrong, are you alone?”
Did she get separated from the others? Or had she been left behind by the three girls who had just run away?
I was worried, so I took off my disguise sheet and reached out my hand to Sakurazaka to help her up.
Then Sakurazaka jumped into my chest without holding my hand.
“H-Hey!?. What are you doing?—-“
“P-Please help!”
“Ha?”
“Minase-senpai is …… protecting me and gone off the cliff ……!”
I was so shocked by her words that I involuntarily felt a chill run down my spine.
Nevertheless, the reason I wasn’t distraught by this is …… surely because Sakurazaka, who is jumping into my chest, is in more of a hurry.
I pulled Sakurazaka off me and asked, though I spoke a little too quickly.
“Where did Yuzuha fall?”
“T-This way!”
I was so shocked that I didn’t even notice.
I followed her and ran along the well-maintained path.
I passed a couple of first-year students on the way and got a few quizzical glances, but I paid them no mind and continued on, eventually running through some unmaintained bushes.
When I reached the end of the road, I found a hole in the fence, leaving a shredded mark…
“M-Minase-senpai had protected me,……, and if only I had said more to those people,……!”
Tears begin to stream from Sakurazaka’s eyes.
Gradually, sobbing can be heard, and she finally collapses on the spot.
…Maybe the Yuzuha didn’t fall because of Sakurazaka.
Still, it’s her fault. Even though she was supposed to fall, she protected her.
“…….”
I crouch down, look up at Sakurazaka’s face, and wipe the tears away with my fingers.
“It’s not Sakurazaka’s fault. Besides, I’m sure Yuzuha will be fine.”
“B-but—“
“You wait here.”
I take out my smartphone from my pocket and briefly type the situation into the chat group.
If I had contacted Shiori san and others, they would go and get sensei and take good care of her
Once that was done, I put the sheets I had brought with me in place and stepped over the fence.
“I-Irie-senpai! W-what are you going to do!”
Then Sakurazaka grabs my clothes.
“It’s dangerous! If even Irie-senpai falls, I’ll be ……!”
Surely, it’s dangerous.
Actually, it would probably be wiser to wait here for the teacher and then search for Yuzuha together.
It’s dark down there and I can’t see well. I don’t even know how long it will last. I don’t know how badly I’ll get hurt if I fall.
“So?”
“…..eh?”
“Where’s the reason to stop just because I’m going to fall and get hurt?”
Still—
“I know that girl is alone right now.”
Maybe I’ll get into trouble with everyone else by following up with a serious injury. I might be called a fool, reckless and irresponsible, just like in the old days.
But I will do it.
No matter how much I get hurt,……, I want to save Yuzuha.
For the sake of the cute, smiling face that looks so good on her.
“I’ll definitely come running.”
“?!”
“I don’t care that I’m in danger. More than that, I’m more worried about whether she’s crying or not…She’s surprisingly easy to be scared and I can’t leave her alone.”
When I said that, Sakurazaka’s face turned surprised.
When I said that, Sakurazaka’s face was filled with surprise.
It’s like she wants to say something, but she can’t seem to say anything.
There were tear marks on her cute face, and her cheeks were somehow stained red.
Sakurazaka’s hand loosened and her clothes were released.
“Thank you for telling me.”
With that timing, I jumped off the cliff just like that.
