"You're finally here…"
Ghost-senpai's voice was ethereal and fleeting, with a strong sense of resentment.
"Eh eh eh?!"
Kita Ikuyo jumped up in fright, bumping directly into Kitahara Makoto:
"Gh-gh-ghost! There really is a ghost!!"
Kitahara Makoto grabbed Kita's shoulder, saying speechlessly:
"What are you panicking about? Weren't you super excited to see a ghost just now?"
Kita Ikuyo: "…Who knew ghosts actually existed in the world?!"
After blurting out her inner thoughts, Kita Ikuyo realized she was still hiding in Kitahara Makoto's arms. Her pretty face immediately flushed, and she quickly broke free.
"Don't be scared, Kita." Bocchi-chan whispered comfortingly from the side, "Fukada-senpai is very nice; she won't hurt us."
Kita Ikuyo: "…She's a ghost, she's not a person, okay?!"
Fortunately, after the initial shock, Kita Ikuyo quickly accepted the existence of the ghost.
After confirming that Ghost-senpai was not dangerous, this Kita quickly burst with twelve parts of enthusiasm and curiosity, chattering around Ghost-senpai and asking all sorts of questions.
Ghost-senpai initially answered patiently, but after a while, she became a bit annoyed and looked resentfully at Kitahara Makoto:
"Kitahara-dono, when are we leaving?"
Kitahara Makoto said decisively:
"Without further ado, let's go now."
Ghost-senpai clasped her hands together, looking eagerly at Little Miss Anxiety: "Hitori-chan, please let me possess you for another day."
"N-no problem…"
Gotō Hitori quickly nodded in agreement.
She had already had experience with possession yesterday, so continuing today was no problem.
Ghost-senpai should be a 'bound spirit'; if she doesn't possess a living person, even if she manages to leave the music classroom, she will lose her sanity in a daze.
At this moment, Kita Ikuyo quickly raised her right hand from the side, her eyes sparkling, her face full of eager anticipation in capital letters:
"Me, me, me! I also want to experience what it feels like for Ghost-senpai to possess me!"
Kitahara Makoto reminded her from the side:
"There are side effects to letting Ghost-senpai possess you."
"Eh?" Kita tilted her head and looked over, "Are the side effects very serious?"
"Not serious, though…"
Kitahara Makoto coughed lightly and turned to look at Miss Fallen Ojou-sama beside him.
Togawa Sakiko understood, raised her hand to tuck the strands of blue hair by her ear, and said calmly:
"After being possessed by Ghost-senpai, your body will gradually grow cold, and your body will also slowly become heavy… It is said that the life force in our bodies is being eroded, and only by letting Kitahara-kun hold your hand can you replenish the lost energy."
"That's good, I thought it would be very serious. If it's just holding hands, then there's no problem at all." Kita Ikuyo put her hands on her hips and raised her chin, saying, "My dream is to become a band idol. I'll definitely have handshake events and autograph sessions then, so this can just be practice in advance."
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
As expected.
Social butterflies don't have too much shame; people who are too thin-skinned can't become social butterflies.
"Eh, wait a moment!"
Kita Ikuyo suddenly blinked, pulled Bocchi-chan aside, then raised her hand to cover her mouth, leaning close to Little Miss Anxiety's ear, whispering:
"Bocchi-chan, can I let Ghost-senpai possess me?"
Gotō Hitori's expression was a little blank: "If Kita wants to experience it, she can go ahead, no need to ask me."
"I'm worried Bocchi-chan might get jealous."
"Eh?"
"After possession, don't you have to hold Kitahara-kun's hand to eliminate the side effects? If Bocchi-chan gets jealous, then forget it."
Gotō Hitori's eyes widened blankly, then her small face quickly flushed red, shaking her head rapidly like a rattle.
She and Kitahara-kun were just ordinary friends, so of course she wouldn't be jealous!
Only... only those in a dating relationship would mind being jealous, right?
"Then I'm relieved." Kita Ikuyo's face showed a bright smile, and she gave a thumbs-up. "Bocchi-chan, don't worry, I just want to experience what it's like to be possessed by Ghost-senpai. I won't snatch Kitahara-kun from you."
Gotō Hitori's small face grew even redder, steam rising from her head, so dizzy she could barely stand steady.
(No, don't say strange things... Kitahara-kun isn't her possession...)
The discussion concluded.
Today's possession target was the curious Kita Ikuyo.
Ghost-senpai, without a word, transformed into a wisp of ethereal mist and entered Kita Ikuyo's body.
"Hmm..." Kita Ikuyo blinked, curiously moving her body. "It seems like there's no feeling at all."
"Don't rush, let Ghost-senpai stay a little longer." Kitahara Makoto waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
...
Half an hour later.
A certain agency in Tokyo.
"I'm sorry, company policy states that we cannot disclose clients' personal information..."
After listening to Kitahara Makoto and the others' purpose, a staff member shook his head apologetically.
"Please help us." Kita Ikuyo clasped her hands together, looking at the person eagerly, using her ultimate skill, trying to soften the other party's heart with her gaze. "The phone number is really important to us."
Unfortunately, the ultimate skill failed to activate.
The staff member shook his head again: "I'm sorry, we really cannot disclose client information..."
Togawa Sakiko's delicate brows furrowed slightly, feeling that things were getting troublesome.
Just as she was about to tell everyone to leave and plan further, she suddenly heard Kitahara Makoto say softly:
"Togawa Sakiko, let me."
"Eh?"
Kita Ikuyo was startled, then moved aside to make space.
Kitahara Makoto looked up at the surveillance camera on the ceiling, took two steps forward, and blocked the camera with his back.
Then, under the astonished gazes of the three girls, he took out a Fukuzawa Yukichi, subtly slipped it under the staff member's mouse pad, and said with a smile:
"Hello, we just want to borrow the computer for a moment, thirty seconds will be enough."
...
The staff member was silent for a few seconds, picked up the mouse, operated it for a moment, then went to the water dispenser nearby with a cup to get water, saying righteously:
"I'm sorry, we really cannot disclose clients' personal information."
"...How awful!"
Kita Ikuyo clenched her small fists in indignation, unable to help but complain:
"He just took the money, and he's still saying such things..."
"Shh~"
Kitahara Makoto made a shushing gesture, then bent down to look at the staff member's computer:
"Everyone, write down the phone number."
"Eh?"
The three girls looked over curiously upon hearing this, and were surprised to find that the office computer displayed the cover of the villa's sales contract, clearly showing the names and phone numbers of both parties.
Kita Ikuyo's eyes widened: "W-why is this happening?"
Togawa Sakiko crossed her right arm over her chest, her pink lips pursed: "...I see, that staff member deliberately got up to pour tea."
Kitahara Makoto said softly:
"When the identities and positions of both parties are not aligned, if you ask for help from others, you must be the 'bad person' yourself, and not let others bear the consequences and responsibilities... User information is not confidential, but company regulations are regulations and must be followed, so we can only look at it ourselves."
There are many similar situations, for example, when working as customer service and a package has a problem, the customer can actually ask for compensation, but many people don't know that if the customer doesn't ask, the customer service cannot proactively offer it.
When going to the service hall, the counter staff says a personal signature is required, but the person is not present; you can completely go out for a stroll, then sign it yourself and come back.
Kita Ikuyo looked up at Kitahara Makoto's profile, her eyes sparkling, her tone filled with admiration: "Although I don't quite understand... but Kitahara-kun's words sound very impressive!"
Kitahara Makoto: "..."
That's enough.
Quickly get rid of your bad habit of praising people all the time!
