"You Who Slipped Through Nine Years of Compulsory Education…?"
Kitahara Makoto was speechless after reading the ability description.
"Good heavens, a fish that slipped through the net of nine years of compulsory education, huh?"
"I just wanted to draw something to make me immune to all illnesses, why is it so difficult!"
Fortunately, Kitahara Makoto was well aware of how terrible his luck was. After a moment of internal complaining, he quickly composed himself, got a woven bag from the staff, packed all the dolls he had caught today, and then continued to stroll with the two girls.
Working part-time?
After getting rich overnight, who would still work part-time!
It was already 8:30 PM in the blink of an eye.
Bocchi-chan and Kita took turns satisfying ghost Senpai's desire to eat and drink. Ghost Senpai finally got her wish and happily returned to Tsukinomori Academy.
"We should head back soon too." Kitahara Makoto looked at Little Miss Anxiety and said gently, "Should we go home first to pack some change of clothes, or go directly to my place?"
Gotō Hitori quickly lowered her head to look at her toes and stammered softly:
"Go home first… There are no clean clothes left in my school bag."
Gotō Hitori didn't dare to gamble whether the evil spirit woman would reappear. She didn't want the evil spirit to harm her parents or sister no matter what, so she had no choice but to continue staying at Kitahara Makoto's house tonight.
"Then I'll accompany Bocchi-chan home to pack things, and then we'll go to Kitahara-kun's house to play together." Kita Ikuyo was in high spirits, seeming to have endless energy. "Tonight, I'm going to sleep hugging Bocchi-chan!"
Gotō Hitori looked over pitifully: "It will be very hot to sleep hugging…"
Kita Ikuyo smiled brightly: "But Bocchi-chan is fragrant and soft, it's super comfortable to hug."
"…"
The journey was silent.
The three took the train back to the residential area. Bocchi-chan and Kita left together. Kitahara Makoto, just in case, did not go back alone but stayed outside to wait.
While waiting, Togawa Sakiko also sent a message saying that she had something very important to do and wouldn't be staying over tonight.
Since the other party had already made a decision, Kitahara Makoto naturally didn't say anything more, just told Togawa-san to be careful.
After waiting for a full half an hour, Bocchi-chan finally came out with Kita, and she had an extra-large backpack on her back.
Kitahara Makoto's expression was strange: "Are you moving?"
"No, it's not moving." Kita Ikuyo retorted, "Girls just have a lot of daily necessities, Kitahara-kun, you can't peek."
Kitahara Makoto raised his right hand: "I am a decent person; I would never do anything like peeking."
"Then I'll trust you for now." Kita Ikuyo was quite easy to fool. "Kitahara-kun helping ghost Senpai for free really makes him a good person!"
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
I'm sorry, it wasn't free help; I already received millions of yen in compensation this evening!
A moment later.
"Excuse me for intruding~" Kita Ikuyo stepped into the entryway, looking around curiously. "So this is where a boy lives; it looks very clean. Kitahara-kun is indeed a clean person!"
Kitahara Makoto: "…Change your slippers first, and don't praise people so easily. Kita-san will make people misunderstand."
"Eh heh~"
After a simple tidying up, it was already 9:30 PM before they knew it.
"Kitahara-kun, can we watch TV?" Kita Ikuyo raised her right hand, like a student asking a question.
"Turn it on yourself, the remote control is in the drawer." Kitahara Makoto didn't even look up, studying diligently.
To achieve the ultimate goal of passing the civil service exam, the first step is to study persistently. Kitahara Makoto was very confident in his self-discipline.
"Ki, Kitahara-kun…"
A hand suddenly tugged at Kitahara Makoto's sleeve, and Gotō Hitori's nervous voice came from beside his ear.
"Hmm?"
Kitahara Makoto turned his head to look, and saw Little Miss Anxiety with teary eyes, nervously looking towards the Toilet.
Following her gaze, yesterday's evil spirit woman immediately came into view, hiding in the Toilet, only showing her head and looking out menacingly.
Good heavens, I didn't realize you held a grudge; you came here for revenge, didn't you?
Kitahara Makoto suddenly stood up, ready to nip it in the bud, but the female evil spirit was extremely vigilant. The moment he stood up, she quickly shrank back and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Kitahara-kun, what's wrong?"
Kita Ikuyo asked curiously.
Kitahara Makoto walked out of the Toilet; it was empty inside, with no trace of the evil spirit: "Nothing, keep watching your TV."
"Oh."
A moment later.
Kitahara Makoto was once again tugged on the sleeve by Bocchi-chan. Little Miss Anxiety's expression was flustered, her face pale. The female evil spirit had reappeared at some point, clearly intending to annoy them.
"Still trying to disgust people, huh?"
Kitahara Makoto was expressionless, feeling like he had nowhere to exert his strength. This thing simply wouldn't engage with him, just watching him menacingly from a distance, making him frustrated.
"No, I must send her to the afterlife, otherwise I won't be able to rest properly in the future."
Kitahara Makoto frowned, contemplating how to get close to the evil spirit, when an idea suddenly struck him.
"It seems I can use the new ability I gained this evening?"
He decided to try it immediately. Kitahara Makoto decisively activated the ability.
The next second.
An invisible fluctuation enveloped the room, and Kita Ikuyo quickly cried out in surprise:
"So, so strange, my body is moving on its own!"
Bang bang!
It wasn't just Kita; Bocchi-chan and the evil spirit also had their bodies out of control. The two girls quickly sat down in front of Kitahara Makoto. The female evil spirit did the same; her body, controlled by an unknown force, emerged from the Toilet, her face clearly showing terror. She tried to struggle but couldn't break free, eventually sitting uncontrollably between Kita and Bocchi-chan.
"W-what is this thing?!" Kita Ikuyo couldn't help but shout nervously.
"Don't panic." Kitahara Makoto interlaced his fingers. "It's the evil spirit you've always wanted to see."
Kita Ikuyo: "I never wanted to see something like this!"
If ghost Senpai was still somewhat charming, the female evil spirit in front of them exuded an aura of evil and terror, super scary.
Kitahara Makoto wanted to act and directly eliminate the evil spirit in front of him, but he couldn't. During the ability's activation, even he couldn't attack his 'students'.
"It seems I must first ask three questions…"
Kitahara Makoto understood, and quickly said:
"Don't be nervous. This is my special ability. As long as you answer the questions, you will soon regain the ability to move freely."
Kita Ikuyo couldn't help but complain: "How can there be such a strange ability? Is Kitahara-kun an alien?"
"I'll explain later; now is question time." Kitahara Makoto extended a finger and asked the first question, "What is forty thousand multiplied by eighty thousand?"
High school students definitely wouldn't get this primary school level arithmetic problem wrong, right?
"I know, I know!" Kita Ikuyo's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "It's three hundred and twenty thousand!"
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
Kita-san, please never choose accounting as a major in the future.
Next to answer was the female evil spirit, her voice hoarse and unpleasant, making one feel uncomfortable all over:
"Three hundred and twenty thousand…"
Kitahara Makoto silently looked at Bocchi-chan: "Hitori-chan, it's your turn to answer."
"Th-that…" Gotō Hitori hesitated, "It should be three hundred and twenty thousand?"
