Kitahara Makoto and the three girls left the agency; outside, dusk had already fallen, and the streetlights were beginning to glow.
"Call, call!" Ghost-senpai floated out impatiently. "Kitahara-sama, quickly call my dad!"
Kitahara Makoto nodded, took out his phone, and dialed the number he had just obtained.
"Hello?"
The call connected quickly, and a deep male voice sounded on the other end.
"It's Dad's voice!"
Ghost-senpai immediately became excited.
Good.
It seems that a Fukuzawa Yukichi was not spent in vain; they finally managed to contact Ghost-senpai's family.
Ghost-senpai was incredibly excited, quickly floated forward, and shouted loudly close to Kitahara Makoto's ear:
"Dad?"
"Dad, Dad!"
"Can you hear me?"
Unfortunately, there was no response from the other end of the phone, clearly unable to hear Ghost-senpai's shouts.
Kita Ikuyo stood with one hand on her hip and the other propping up her chin:
"As expected, besides the three of us, no one else can see or hear her."
"Stop shouting, your dad clearly can't hear you."
Kitahara Makoto couldn't help but move his phone farther away, his mood quite subtle.
Although he knew she wasn't calling him, the distance was simply too close. In this life and the last, he had never heard a girl call him 'Dad', and now hearing Ghost-senpai call out so many times... He had to admit, it did sound quite nice.
"Did you dial the wrong number?"
The man on the other end of the phone asked in a deep voice.
"No mistake." Kitahara Makoto came back to his senses. "Your daughter is with us..."
Before he finished speaking, the call was directly hung up.
Togawa Sakiko couldn't help but raise a hand to her forehead:
"Kitahara-kun, don't say strange things."
"I don't think he said anything wrong, actually." Kita Ikuyo quietly helped from the side. "Fukada-senpai is indeed with us... It would have been better if he had been a little more tactful."
Kitahara Makoto tried to dial the number again, but quickly shrugged: "The number has been blocked... Togawa Sakiko, it's your turn."
"Leave it to me."
Togawa Sakiko nodded slightly, took out her phone, dialed the number, and her first sentence successfully captured the other party's attention:
"I am a student from Tsukinomori Academy..."
The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds: "What do you want?"
"Mr. Fukada, please give me one minute. Although it's hard to believe, a week ago I met your daughter in the music classroom..."
Togawa Sakiko spoke clearly and meticulously, explaining in detail how she met Ghost-senpai.
Without concrete evidence, it was naturally difficult to convince someone that a daughter who had passed away ten years ago was now appearing as a ghost. Fortunately, Ghost-senpai provided evidence, such as handmade birthday gifts given to her parents when she was seven years old, and other secrets that outsiders could not possibly know, which finally earned their trust.
Of course, it was only a half-belief. Before seeing Ghost-senpai with their own eyes, the other party obviously couldn't believe it one hundred percent.
But for now, that was enough.
Upon hearing secrets only he and his daughter knew, no parent could remain composed.
"I'm currently abroad for business, but I'm booking a flight back immediately. I'll be back in Tokyo tomorrow and will visit you as soon as possible. Please don't disappoint me."
Togawa Sakiko said softly:
"Mr. Fukada, see you tomorrow."
...
"Finally, there's some progress." Kitahara Makoto suggested, "Since Mr. Fukada can only return tomorrow, shall we meet tomorrow?"
"No!"
Ghost-senpai immediately looked at them with pitiful pleading: "It's still so early, I want to see more of this world. Going back now would be too lonely... After all, I'm just a ghost, and I might disappear completely from this world someday."
"H-how pitiful..." Kita Ikuyo listened with tears in her eyes, her empathy incredibly strong. "Fukada-senpai is too pitiful, Kitahara-kun, shall we help her?"
Kitahara Makoto said helplessly: "I just suggested it, I didn't say we had to leave."
Kita Ikuyo praised happily: "Kitahara-kun is truly a good person!"
That's enough, quickly get rid of your habit of praising people all the time!
It was already past six in the evening, and the sky had completely darkened. The three girls discussed for a while and decided to go eat first.
Arriving at the Commercial Street, various food stalls had already appeared along the roadside, and the mingled aromas of countless ingredients were especially enticing.
Ghost-senpai suddenly emerged from Kita's body, stammering:
"Um, there's something I want to ask Kita-san..."
"Eh, what is it?"
"It seems I can perform deep possession... As long as Kita has no resistance in her heart, I can temporarily control Kita-san's body, and then I'll be able to taste food..."
Kitahara Makoto frowned slightly and looked over: "What are the side effects of deep possession?"
"I don't know." Ghost-senpai shook her head timidly. "I just sensed that I seem to have this ability... But with Kitahara-sama here, there definitely won't be any danger."
Miss Fallen Ojou-sama also frowned slightly. Deep possession sounded extraordinary, and the side effects would surely be more severe, but Kita Ikuyo readily agreed:
"Okay, I agree!"
Kitahara Makoto looked over helplessly: "Kita-san, perhaps you should reconsider?"
"It's okay." Kita Ikuyo shook her head and said, "I believe Fukada-senpai is a good person."
As expected of a radiant girl, she never hesitated when it came to helping others.
One was willing to give, and the other was willing to receive, so Kitahara Makoto naturally had nothing to say.
"Thank you, Kita-san!"
Ghost-senpai expressed her gratitude, then tried to possess Kita Ikuyo more deeply.
A moment later.
The color of Kita Ikuyo's eyes subtly changed, and then she impatiently strode towards the cake shop.
Kitahara Makoto asked carefully:
"Are you Ghost-senpai or Kita-san now?"
"Hmm, I'm Kita…" Kita Ikuyo's voice was curious, "This feeling is very strange now. Although my body is out of control, my consciousness is very clear… It's like I've become a character being manipulated in a game."
There was no need to say more about what happened next. Ghost-senpai, having regained a 'body', naturally embarked on a journey of feasting.
"Wahhh… Senior, no… Stop it… I really can't go on…",
"My mouth is so uncomfortable… I really can't stuff anything else in…",
"It's really, really going to break!"
Watching her own body gorge itself on a large amount of food, Kita Ikuyo finally couldn't help but cry out for mercy in a panic.
Swallowing the last takoyaki with a blissful expression, Ghost-senpai reluctantly floated out of Kita's body.
"Cough, cough…"
Kita Ikuyo covered her stomach, slumped on the sofa, her eyes welling up with tears:
"Wahh… My weight is definitely going to be over the limit tomorrow…"
Bocchi-chan quietly comforted her friend beside her: "It'll be fine if you exercise more…"
Before she could finish, Gotō Hitori suddenly noticed Ghost-senpai leaning in front of her, her eyes full of anticipation.
"W-what's wrong?"
Bocchi-chan instinctively recoiled.
Ghost-senpai's eyes were full of anticipation: "Hitori-chan, you don't seem to have eaten much just now."
Bocchi-chan replied blankly: "I… I usually eat very little…"
Ghost-senpai quickly clasped her hands together: "There are still so many things I want to eat that I haven't. Hitori-chan, can you let me possess you for a bit?"
"Th-that…"
"Please, this is the request of my lifetime!"
"…"
