“Thank you,” Shigatani Miko nodded, “I'll take a look later.”
With that, she hurried towards the restroom.
She couldn't hold it any longer!
“Alright, take your time,” Yurikawa Hana waved with a smile.
…
In the restroom.
Shigatani Miko let out a sigh of relief, releasing the floodgates. She was so glad she made it in time. If she had peed in public, it would have been the end of her life!
“Whew…”
After relaxing, Shigatani Miko took out her phone and checked her Line.
Yurikawa Hana had sent her a link.
Clicking on the link, she found herself on an unfamiliar supernatural forum. It had posts about how to avoid ghosts and spirits.
There were also guides on where to seek help in case of suspected paranormal events.
Shigatani Miko was completely stunned.
The information was detailed and convincing.
She thought for a moment and wrote about her situation, posting it on the help section.
“Hopefully, they'll see it,” she muttered.
After posting, Shigatani Miko put her phone back in her pocket, not expecting anything.
She had left help messages on countless forums since she started seeing those ghostly things.
She even called the paranormal program on TV, seeking help from the masters featured on the show.
But she ended up being scammed into buying a bunch of useless crafts.
Shigatani Miko had given up hope.
Ding-a-ling!
Just then, the school bell rang.
Shigatani Miko quickly left the restroom and returned to the classroom for class.
Before long.
A drowsy class passed by.
“Achoo…” Shigatani Miko casually took out her phone, clicked into the previous website, intending to see what kind of strange posts the users had made.
Beep!
Unexpectedly, a pop-up appeared as soon as she entered the website.
The pop-up displayed: You have a new message from the administrator!
“Huh?”
Shigatani Miko couldn't help but be surprised.
“What's wrong, Miko?” Yurikawa Hana walked over at that moment, curiously asking.
“Hana, the administrator sent me a message,” Shigatani Miko handed her phone to her, surprised.
Yurikawa Hana took a glance, clapping her hands happily together, excitedly saying, “That's great, Miko!”
“What?” Shigatani Miko was confused.
“Didn't we say before? This website's administrator seems to be helping people seeking help with paranormal events, but few people actually get helped,” Yurikawa Hana explained, “Getting a reply from him is a signal that you've received the administrator's help!”
“Really?” Shigatani Miko became excited as well.
She didn't expect that her casual help post would actually receive a reply.
“Yeah, yeah, of course it's true,”
Yurikawa Hana nodded, saying, “Look at other people's posts. They mentioned the help process, and the administrator doesn't charge any fees. Once the issue is resolved, he'll only ask you to donate to any charity, take a screenshot and send it to the forum. It's considered a commission.”
Shigatani Miko's jaw dropped, further adding to her surprise.
After a long while, she said, “The administrator is a good person.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Yurikawa Hana nodded, then curiously asked, “Miko, what did you write that made the administrator reply?”
“Uh…”
Shigatani Miko’s eyes flashed, and she said with a smile, “It's just a paranormal story I heard from somewhere else. I adapted it a bit and made it my experience.”
“Good thing. I thought you encountered something paranormal,” Yurikawa Hana relaxed her expression.
Hana, you're right.
I did encounter something… and it's happening every single day!
Shigatani Miko chuckled softly, but she didn't intend to tell Yurikawa Hana about the ghosts.
Because the more you knew, the more dangerous it became.
She didn't want to drag her friend into danger.
“Miko, hurry up and see what the administrator said. I want to see what the mysterious administrator is like!” Yurikawa Hana urged excitedly.
“Alright, alright,” Shigatani Miko helplessly opened the backend message.
It was a standard inquiry.
Shigatani Miko checked other posts again, following the help process, and made an appointment with the administrator for the time and place.
“Ah, I'm so excited!” Yurikawa Hana's eyes sparkled, “I can't wait for Friday!”
“Yeah,” Shigatani Miko also smiled.
She was also looking forward to meeting the administrator on Friday night.
…
…
Shigatani Miko didn't know.
The reason she got a quick reply was precisely because her help message, with its detailed description, closely resembled a real paranormal event.
But after setting the meeting place and time, Higashi no Masa didn't plan to show up.
He would only take a look at the person seeking help from afar, checking if there was any lingering paranormal aura.
If it was a lie, he'd leave directly.
If it was real, he would solve it secretly and leave.
After solving it, he would privately message the person on the website, asking them to donate to any charity they could afford. He would then ask them to take a screenshot and send it to the forum, as a kind of commission.
Even so, not everyone was willing to pay the 'commission'.
Some even tried to get away with paying a smaller 'commission'.
But Higashi no Masa didn't care.
He did good deeds only out of his own will.
He wasn't a good person, nor a bad person. He was chaotically neutral.
Moreover, as his power grew stronger.
Higashi no Masa firmly marched towards the direction of "I don't eat beef."
…
…
In the evening.
The Municipal People's Park.
Shigatani Miko and Yurikawa Hana stood under the park's sculpture, looking around.
“Miko, have you seen anyone who looks like the administrator?”
“…. Hana, we don't even know if the administrator is male or female.” Shigatani Miko's expression was helpless.
“Sorry, sorry,” Yurikawa Hana chuckled, saying, “I was just too curious. The forum says the administrator never shows up, only secretly solving problems.”
“But since we made an appointment, the administrator will definitely appear.”
“It's just that, we don't know who that person is.”
Yurikawa Hana spoke, carefully observing the surroundings.
Her eyes were vigilant, like a cat, not missing a single person who passed by.
Shigatani Miko sighed softly.
They didn't know.
In a coffee shop on the second floor of a commercial building next to the People's Park.
Higashi no Masa sat by the window, his gaze fixed on the two girls.
“Shigatani Miko?”
“And… Yurikawa Hana?”
The appearance of the two girls slightly surprised Higashi no Masa.
The female lead and female supporting character from "The Invisible Girl"?
“What good luck,”
Higashi no Masa smiled, turned around and went downstairs, heading towards the People's Park.
Shigatani Miko's words should be able to get a check, right?
He only had one last ultimate move left to get in his Sett template.
Thinking this.
Higashi no Masa walked through the crowd, heading straight for Shigatani Miko and Yurikawa Hana under the sculpture.
