Futaba Rio took off her glasses and said calmly.
"I live alone, so I can stay later."
There was a barely perceptible glint of strangeness in Mai Sakurajima's eyes, and she replied with a perfect smile.
"What a coincidence. I live alone too."
"So how long do you want to stay, Mai-senpai?"
"Then how long do you want to stay, Futaba-san?"
Futaba Rio was still as calm and indifferent as usual.
Sakurajima Mai's face still had that sweet smile that was flawless and charming to everyone who saw it.
The two girls' expressions were no different from usual.
But the atmosphere in the living room became inexplicably tense.
Futaba Rio came today and had no intention of leaving.
If Ye Xing doesn't come to my house, can't I just stay at the other person's house for one night?
Skillful.
Mai Sakurajima had no plans to leave today.
She was used to living there. Towels, toothbrushes, and spare clothes were all available at Yexing's house.
Now the question is.
Futaba Rio didn't want to let Sakurajima Mai know that she was planning to live in Yohoshi's house. After all, with her thin-skinned personality, she couldn't bring herself to say that a single man and a single woman were living in the same room.
but.
Mai Sakurajima doesn't have this concern.
"Futaba-san..."
Just when Mai Sakurajima was about to speak out and force Rio Futaba to back down, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Ye Xing stood up, walked over and opened the door, and found that the person standing outside was someone he had not expected.
"Good morning."
Touma Kazusa was wearing a simple pair of black trousers and a black short-sleeved shirt. Because she was going out at night, she also added a short jacket.
After saying hello, she put her two white and slender hands together, lowered her head and blew air into her palms.
"Touma-san?"
Ye Xing originally thought that the person standing outside the door would be Yagami Light or Yang No.
Unexpectedly, it would be Touma Kazusa.
"How do you know where I live?"
Touma Kazusa's expression was emotionless, and she just replied indifferently.
"I asked Hiratsuka-sensei. When she heard that I wanted to talk to you about something, she told me directly."
Hearing this, Ye Xing thought to himself that Hiratsuka Shizuka would never give up until she reached her goal.
If Touma and Sa came at some other time, it would be fine.
But...
With the entrance as the dividing line, these are two different worlds.
A silent battle is going on in the living room right now.
Of course, Yexing couldn't let Touma and Sa stand outside, so he could only move slightly sideways.
"Let's talk after we come in."
"it is good."
When Touma and Sa walked in, they saw the can of Pepsi on the shelf in the entrance.
There was a complex look in her eyes, but she didn't say much. She just looked at Sakurajima Mai and Futaba Rio who were sitting in the living room.
"Who are they?"
Player Touma Kazusa joins the battle.
"Let me introduce you."
Yexing led Touma and Sa through the entrance and into the living room.
"This is Sakurajima Mai, a senior student one year above us."
After hearing his introduction, Futaba Rio thought, isn't this a waste of time?
Even though I am a loner and don't fit in, I have heard of the name Sakurajima Mai.
As a student of Sobu High School, how could Touma Kazusa not have heard of her?
Unexpectedly, after hearing the name Sakurajima Mai, Touma Kazusa didn't even shift her gaze. Her eyes remained on Ye Xing and she just gave a short word in response.
"Oh."
Mai Sakurajima was also stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the other party to react like this.
Yexing knew that based on Touma Kazusa's personality, she probably really didn't know Sakurajima Mai.
After all, in the other person's life, there is only the piano and he doesn't care about anything else.
But the thoughts of Mai Sakurajima and Rio Futaba are more complicated.
Oh, what does that mean?
Could it be that Touma Kazusa actually knows Sakurajima Mai, but has already sensed the tension in the air, so she is preparing for a war and is unwilling to show surprise in front of the enemy?
How calm is this?
Even in terms of momentum, no one wants to be at a disadvantage.
This is a strong enemy!
"This is Futaba Rio, and this is my deskmate in class, Touma Kazusa."
Ye Xing led Dong Ma and Sha to sit on the sofa, and before he could speak, the latter said lightly.
"You have a society about some paranormal stuff, right?"
"Correct."
"That's good. I have a commission."
Hearing the word "commission", Futaba Rio and Sakurajima Mai looked at each other and understood what the other meant in an instant.
Let’s not argue about it for now.
Business matters.
"Oh?"
Ye Xing looked very interested.
"What kind of commission is it?"
Touma Kazusa spoke without hesitation.
"The piano in my house always makes noises for no apparent reason. Oh, and I live alone, so there's no possibility of someone else playing it."
Hearing the familiar line "Living alone", Futaba Rio felt a little complicated, but still asked.
“About when did it start?”
Touma Hesa glanced at her, thought about it thoughtfully, and then said lightly.
"Probably... before school starts."
"what?"
Mai Sakurajima and Rio Futaba were both stunned.
No, before school starts?
Isn't it at least a month?
Just listening to Touma and Sa's description, the two girls felt a little creepy.
Living alone, the piano would start to play for no apparent reason.
Shouldn't a normal girl's reaction be to be extremely scared, move out of the house, and then go find an exorcist?
How could it take more than a month to come?
"Then...why are you saying it now?"
In response to Futaba Rio's doubts, Touma Kazusa just spoke softly.
"At first, it didn't affect me. Anyway, the piano would only sound when I was sleeping. But in the past few days, I found that when I played, it was like there was another person playing with me. It affected me, so I wanted to ask Ye Xing for help."
Futaba Rio didn't realize it, but Sakurajima Mai had met Touma Kazusa during the period when she was suffering from puberty syndrome.
She noticed a detail in the other person's words.
We should ask "Yexing" for help, not "Chaoliangshe" for help.
Could it be that these words were a warning to himself and Futaba Rio?
What you mean is that you two are in the way and should leave immediately. I only want to find Yexing alone?
Sakurajima Mai frowned slightly, thinking secretly in her heart, Touma Kazusa looks quiet and cold on the surface.
I didn't expect that he would be a powerful enemy with such means.
Today's battle is not easy to fight.
095 The red-clothed ghost wandering around Touma Kazusa's house
"Hmm...I see..."
After listening to Touma and Sa's description, Yexing had a rough idea in his mind.
This is most likely a true supernatural event.
On the one hand, Touma and Sa are different from those bored students who have nothing to do all day long. They won’t make a fuss over the slightest disturbance.
on the other hand.
Ghost playing the piano, isn’t this a very classic scene?
But usually in stories like this, the scene is an empty activity room.
Run into other people's houses and play their pianos, and now they are even scrambling to play them.
This is also a ghost who has a sincere love for music.
Yotsuya Miko also gave her own comments.
"From what Touma-san described, the problem isn't that big."
If it was an evil spirit, even if it wasn't a very powerful one, Touma and Sa should have felt heavy, in a bad mood, or had trouble sleeping.
Instead of playing the piano every day.
This shows that it is not an evil spirit, but an ordinary ghost, or simply the obsession of a human being after death.
"Touma-san."
Thinking of this, Futaba Rio asked a question specifically.
"Is the piano in your house new?"
"Um..."
Hearing this question, Touma and Sa looked a little lonely.
She lowered her head, and the expression on her face could not be seen clearly, but there was a hint of inexplicable sadness in her voice.
"My mother asked someone to move here when she left two months ago."
Futaba Rio thought that this made sense.
