Chapter 192 - Chapter 192: Two Conditions for Passing On

"Yu... Yu-kun, who... who are you talking to... is it... Hanako?"

Hanawa Amakawa, holding the unconscious Yūshin Aonoi, asked in surprise when she heard Ho Fei-yu talking to the air.

"Mhm."

"..."

"Will she hurt us?"

Hanawa Amakawa was in disbelief. She had only randomly thought of the school's strange tale when looking at the messy graffiti on the blackboard. She had only mentioned it on a whim. How had Yu-kun started chatting with Hanako?

But out of trust in Ho Fei-yu, she didn't doubt that the boy was lying to her.

"She won't."

Ho Fei-yu shook his head.

"How do you know I won't? I'm the legendary terrifying ghost, you know."

Hanako, wearing a red and white dress, floated casually in the air. Hearing Ho Fei-yu's answer to the other girl, her small face couldn't help but show curiosity.

"Won't, just won't."

If the Hanako in front of him were the one from the horror world, Ho Fei-yu would grab the two girls and run immediately. But since this was from the Ura-Sekai, if he were still scared, he would be useless.

Hanako blinked her big, round eyes. She was clearly not satisfied with Ho Fei-yu's answer. Previously, people would turn pale just hearing her nickname. If they accidentally saw her figure, they would flee in terror. No one was like him, not only unafraid but also daring to open the love letter she used to scare people. This was the first time someone else had opened it since she wrote it.

"Are you really... not... scared~"

Hanako's eyes darted around. Then, her body began to drift back and forth in the classroom, immediately stirring up gusts of cold air, accompanied by her deliberately drawn-out, terrifying whispers.

"Cold... so cold..."

"Yu-kun!"

The cold draft made Yūshin Aonoi shiver violently in her sleep. The girl mumbled unconsciously with her mouth open. Seeing Yūshin Aonoi like this, Hanawa Amakawa quickly shielded the girl's entire body, using her own body temperature to warm the girl, but the effect wasn't very significant. She anxiously called out to Ho Fei-yu.

"Hanako, you've lived alone as a ghost for so many years. You must be lonely. I can find a way for you to pass on. How does that sound?"

"Pass on?"

Hanako looked interested at his words and stopped moving, hanging upside down in mid-air.

It was strange. Hanako's short purple hair naturally hung down, but the hem of the girl's skirt defied Newton's laws, still covering her fair thighs.

"Hmph! Pervert, heartless rake, two-timer! And you have ideas about a ghost like me! Freak!"

Hanako suddenly remembered something. A blush actually appeared on her bloodless, pale face, and she spat out the words loudly.

Ho Fei-yu was dumbfounded.

What was that supposed to mean? Why the sudden insults? Was there a deviation, and Hanako didn't want to pass on?

"Ahem... ahem."

Ho Fei-yu recalled the plot and combined it with the girl's recent words. He coughed awkwardly a few times. Only then did he remember that the condition for Hanako to pass on was to have naughty time with the person she liked. No wonder the girl was angry. It was like walking down the street and saying to someone, "Let's reproduce." If you weren't beaten half to death, it was only because of the peace of society.

"What are you talking about?"

Ho Fei-yu pretended to be clueless. Anyway, Hanako didn't know that he knew. If he pretended not to know, then Hanako wouldn't know that he knew, so Hanako wouldn't know. Perfect.

Indeed, when Hanako saw Ho Fei-yu's confused expression, she realized he didn't know the condition for her to pass on. She felt a bit embarrassed, but the first few things she said were definitely true, right? Being so intimate with two girls, what else was he but a heartless rake?

She hated men who cheated the most.

The girl still remembered that when she first opened her eyes after dying, everything was pitch black.

She thought she had arrived in hell, but the silent environment scared even her, a ghost. She finally spotted a small light source and slowly drifted her awkward body toward it. The result was not a terrifying monster in hell, but the familiar school environment.

She instinctively wanted to go outside to see what was happening, but a force restrained her. By morning, she could clearly see that she was in the school's abandoned toilet.

She had never been exposed to such a dirty, foul-smelling environment in her life. She wanted to leave this place, even if it was just to stay in a small room.

But every time she reached a certain boundary, she felt something stopping her. After countless attempts, she gave up and could only wander dazedly and confusedly in the ignored toilet.

Until one day, a group of people wearing masks and doctor uniforms escorted the teacher who murdered her into the toilet. Her lifeless eyes only regained a slight flicker of spirit as she watched them coldly dig up a skeleton under the human scum teacher's direction. Seeing the familiar clothes, she finally remembered.

It was her...

What was done was done, or perhaps time had eroded the hatred. She could no longer feel any strong emotion, but she hoped that if her remains were dug up and cremated, she might be able to pass on and no longer have to stay in this filthy toilet.

Alas, fantasies were beautiful, but reality was always cruel. After an unknown amount of time, she was still stuck lingering in the toilet, with no sign of being able to pass on.

Her last shred of hope was shattered.

Time no longer held any meaning for her.

Until one day, a few students came to explore the site where the body had been buried. Out of boredom, she played a small trick on them and they immediately ran away in terror.

She regretted it a little. At least they could have kept her company for a while. Now they had all run off, and she was alone again.

But for some reason, she suddenly felt much stronger.

On a whim, she tried to leave the toilet again. Although the result was the same, the exciting thing was that this time she could walk a few more steps!

For a girl who had been confined to the toilet, this was incredibly encouraging.

She thought about it, and then scared away another group of explorers.

Finally, she understood the reason for her newfound strength.

It turned out that as long as people feared her, she would become stronger, and then she could leave this place!

So, the next time someone came to explore, she used the power gained from fear to materialize herself and frighten those few people, making them help spread her existence over a large area.

Thus, the legend of Hanako of the Toilet began to circulate.

Her range of activity grew larger and larger, but ultimately seemed to have a limit: she couldn't leave the school grounds.

She didn't know if it was because her power wasn't enough or for some other reason, but it was still better than being stuck in the toilet.

As for her other nickname, the Blood-Colored Love Letter, it was because she couldn't stand some of the heartless scumbags in the school who toyed with other girls and cheated on them. She used the love letter, which symbolized devotion, to scare them.

It served both as a warning and as a way for her to become stronger.

"It's nothing," Hanako could only say with a reluctant smack of her lips.

But she was still very interested in Ho Fei-yu's proposal to help her pass on. She might not have believed it if anyone else said it, but she trusted the person in front of her. The fact that she could possess him was unprecedented, so she was willing to try.

Although she could now move in a much larger area, she was still a ghost. Living like this was boring and she couldn't even eat delicious food, so she might as well be reborn.

"I can let you help me pass on."

Ho Fei-yu heard Hanako's words. Before he could rejoice, he heard her add:

"But you must agree to two conditions."

"....."

"Alright, tell me."

Wait, I'm helping you pass on, but I have to agree to two conditions? What the heck? You get all the benefits! But thinking about the generous reward the system would likely offer after helping the girl pass on, Ho Fei-yu agreed anyway.

"The first one is~ You must let me possess you when you eat in the future!"

Hanako thought of the delicious lunch she had just eaten, and saliva almost drooled from her lips.

"As for the second one, it's a secret for now."
