Episode 2: School Ghost Stories (1)

“Hey, did you guys hear that?”

“What are you talking about?”

"Ghost of Class 10, Grade 2."

"Oh, hey. Don't be ridiculous. I left my transportation card on my way home after work yesterday, so I came back and checked."

"What? You saw it???"

These days, whenever I come to school, all I hear is the ghost story from Class 10, Grade 2.

I'm already suffering from ghosts and monsters, and it's killing me to hear ghost stories on my kids' lips.

Ghosts are driven and gain power by people's rumors.

The more rumors spread and fear there is, the stronger the ghost's power becomes.

This is why I hated going to school.

Since you can't bring a raccoon to school, it's not easy to pretend not to see or hear the countless ghosts roaming around the school without V.

YOU

"...I miss that damn raccoon..."

"What are you doing here?"

YOU

"...It's you again. Go away."

He is the weakest student in our school and is always possessed by ghosts.

After saving him six times from accidents caused by being possessed, he became attached to me like a piece of gum and never let go.

"I don't have anything today...?"

YOU

"No. So please go..."

Especially during PE, he comes to me and asks me questions like that, and it's so annoying.

"You must have heard the rumors lately! Class 10, Year 2, Ghost!"

A sigh came out on its own.

Does that guy know?

The more you talk about the rumors and get scared, the stronger the ghost's power becomes.

YOU

"That guy can't come out of that class. So just don't go in."

"Really?"

Not yet?

The more rumors spread, the larger the ghost's reach would become, so it wasn't completely safe, but the ghost wasn't under his jurisdiction.

The god gives a mission to two people in charge of monsters and three people in charge of ghosts.

They, including me, were people who had no family and were involved in various affairs due to the power they had from birth.

I received money in return for completing the Lord's mission.

It's an inevitable choice for a young high school girl with no connections to survive.

If I keep bothering that guy, it'll be my fault, so should I just contact him first?

"What's going on, you're telling me to eat all the food?"

YOU

"There's a ghost at our school."

전 정국 image

전 정국

"There are ghosts in every school."

YOU

"I saw you once in passing, and I think you'll be leaving school soon."

"...what?"

Most ghosts in schools are unable to leave the school grounds. This is because they cannot continue to exist outside of the school.

Ghosts gain power from rumors, and disappear the moment they leave the source of those rumors. For such a ghost to gain the power to leave the school was a dangerous undertaking.

"Hey, why are you talking about that so calmly!"

I sighed as Jeongguk, who seemed to dislike my attitude, sat up straight and shouted.

전 정국

"Take the lead."

YOU

"Can't you see I'm eating? And why am I going there? I specialize in monsters. Ghosts are your specialty."

Regardless of my specialty, ghosts were scary.

There are monsters that don't look scary, but they're not ghosts. They're all scary-looking.

전 정국 image

전 정국

"It's your school."

When I smiled at the guy who was talking while gritting his teeth, Jeongguk immediately sighed as if he had given up.

전 정국

"A week's supply of cream puffs"

YOU

"call"
