I heard it and it was

It was said that they were in the middle of a conversation, but there was no sound of the key rattling at all.

“Hey, I must have been mistaken. Or maybe I left it because I heard the scream and ran in a hurry.”

It seems that the teacher is the type of person who is afraid of hearing a single key.

But Mizuki-sensei denied my words, still shaking with a dull complexion.

“No, that’s not possible. To get here from the guard room, you have to go through the door of the firewall. You came all the way here without a key? It’s impossible unless you go through the wall…!”

I swallowed my saliva.

“So, that’s what the teacher is trying to say? The old guard you just said isn’t actually the guard, but something that ‘imitations’ the guard.”

“It might be…maybe.”

I burst into laughter without knowing what the teacher said.

“Hahahaha! Teacher is so! I know all of that to make fun of you. I’m late, so I’ll just go back. I told my parents that I’ll go to the convenience store for a while, so they’ll be worried if I come in late.”

With that said, I hurriedly opened the door to the job room and tried to leave, but the teacher hung on with a desperate expression.

“Come on, wait! Then 30 minutes! Stay with us for 30 minutes! The guard said he’ll come back later, so just check your face and go!”

“It’s already 10 o’clock at night! What if someone finds out that students and teachers are together at this hour!”

“I’d rather be misunderstood like that!”

Still, as a teacher, I couldn’t use violence, so I tried to solve it verbally as much as possible.

However, Mizuki-sensei had no intention of letting go, so he stuck to it like a leech.

Finally, my heart was weakened, and I sighed and sat down again.

“Then 30 minutes. After checking the security man’s face, I’ll really go there.”

“Heh, thank you~”

Mizuki-sensei said so while crying.

It looked like it was really scary.

Just in case I didn’t know, I called my house and came to my friend’s house for a while, but I might go to sleep, so don’t wait and go to bed first.

Then, Ms. Mija said she would understand and hung up first.

He doesn’t seem to be too concerned about his son who doesn’t come in until late at night.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter if I’m late with this, so I looked at Mizuki-sensei, who seemed to be getting better now.

“Then why were you so afraid of the teacher?”

Then Mizuki-sensei responded by drinking cold green tea.

“I’ve been that… ever since I was little, I have a sensitive constitution. I’m the type who sees strange things better than others.”

“Are you doing something gentleman in your hometown?”

“Huh? How did you know?”

is it real… .

For some reason, when a setting I often see in a boy’s cartoon popped up, I sighed involuntarily.

Come to think of it, it wasn’t strange that ghosts and youkai actually existed in the yard where the worldview of the cartoon, the back world, and the ninjas were all there.

Last time, Fuuma-senpai said he was doing something like exorcism at the request of people from the other world.

“…yes?”

Then I realized that I knew Fuuma-senpai’s phone number.

The last time we went to Fuuma-senpai’s house and had dinner, we exchanged emails.

“Teacher, wait a minute. I know one expert.”

“…expert?”

“Yeah. I’m a senior named Yukika Fuuma from the 3rd year.”

“…If it’s Fuuma-san, I know too. She’s one of the three most beautiful beauties of the academy.”

No, do the teachers know that nickname too… .

Anyway, if you knew each other’s faces, the story would be faster.

“If it was Fuuma-senpai, it might be able to relieve the teacher’s anxiety.”

Saying so, I called on my smartphone.

After a certain amount of sound has passed,

Click!

[Kim Yoo-seong? What’s happening all of a sudden at this hour?]

Fuuma-senpai answered the phone.

***

After putting the smartphone in speaker mode and explaining what had happened so far, Fuuma-senpai over the receiver was silent for a moment, and then asked Mizuki-sensei.

[Did you say Mizuki-sensei’s home was a shrine? Exactly, which god do you worship?]

“Uh… I don’t know exactly. Naru… Naruikazu?”

[Narui Kazuchi no Kami, one of the Yakusa no Kazuchi no Kami who worships Izanami, the god of the underworld.]

“Are you okay?”

[Irrespective of good or bad, if you are a daughter of a clergyman who worships the god of thunder, it is not strange to have spiritual powers. Not to mention, Narui Kazuchi no Kami is one of the gods who worship Izanami, the god of the Nether.]

“…Then you mean it could be a real ghost?”

[I can’t be sure until I see it with my own eyes. Still, the original spirit (靈) cannot recklessly enter a space that is not permitted. So don’t tempt your partner with your words. If the one who came to the job room was really a ghost, as Mizuki-sensei said, then you wouldn’t be able to break in until the teacher or you opened the door.]

“If it’s really a ghost, how do you respond?”

[You can use Qi. In particular, if you are the owner of the extreme retardation, you will be able to beat him with your bare hands if you use your chi without any special magic. In the first place, evil spirits can’t even approach people with strong yang, but today is a full moon day, so there might be a guy with swelling.]

“Once I get it. Thank you for your advice.”

[If you think it’s dangerous, will you go help me? I just finished my part-time job and am on my way home.]

“For now, I’ll do it on my own. Thanks to the thing called Honwongyeong that I gave you last time, I’ve learned how to handle chi to some extent.”

[i get it. Then it’s 10:15, so call me back at 10:35. By then, the security guard’s identity should have been confirmed.]

“Yes. I will definitely contact you.”

[Then I will quit.]

Tuk!

The call was cut off, and a feeling of silence entered the sleeping room.

I looked at the teacher who was listening next to me and said,

“That’s right.”

“I, are we really okay with the two of us?”

I said, clasping the teacher’s hand, which was still shaking like an aspen.

“Don’t worry. If you think it’s dangerous, I’ll definitely protect you.”

“Yoosung-ah…”

Mizuki-sensei looking up at me with a moved expression.

As I thought about it, I realized that it was a bit of a cringe, and I scratched my cheek awkwardly.

Because I was doing something like this, it felt like I was following a horror movie cliché.

Usually macho characters like me die first.

Should I call and ask Fuuma-senpai to come over now?

While I was thinking about it, I checked that the battery of my smartphone was only 10% left, and after asking the teacher for permission, I plugged it into the charger.

15 minutes later, the security guard returns.

At that time, you will be able to tell whether you are a human or a ghost.

I hope that the teacher will be excited, and I decided to watch a TV variety program together with the teacher to forget any anxiety.

***

Tick! Tick! Tick! Tick!

The second hand, which moved a little every second, eventually turned around the turning point, and the time was exactly 10:30.

The time has come for the security uncle who sent me back with a lie before coming back.

After about 5 minutes left, the teacher, who could not concentrate on the young TV screen, whether he was nervous, stuck to me with a tense expression on his face.

So, it feels like I’m getting nervous as well.

yet-

“Teacher? Are you back?”

A guard’s voice came from outside the door.

When I glanced at the teacher, the teacher swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth.

“You said you had something to talk about earlier, but why?”

Then the guard uncle said kindly.

“Ah~ It’s no different, the young teacher seems to be struggling alone, so I brought some yokan. A friend gave it to me to eat while working at night, but I think it’s a bit too much.”

That’s why it’s better than you think.

It must have been the teacher’s misunderstanding.

But Mizuki-sensei still couldn’t shake off his doubts, so he stared through the door and said.

“If that’s the case, leave it in front of the door and go. If there’s something to patrol in a little bit, then I’ll take it and eat it.”

Then the guard behind the door said:

“Don’t do that, get it now. Sir. I brought it on a plate without packing it, so it might get dusty in the hallway?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay! I’m wearing comfortable clothes right now, so it’s okay to talk face-to-face!”

Then the guard behind the door was silent for a moment, and then spoke as if he was disappointed.

“I haven’t seen it like that, but it’s really great. Mizuki-sensei. No matter how much I say I’m just a security guard, I don’t want to see your face like this.”

Suddenly, Mizuki-sensei became a bad person who discriminated against her job.

No, given the current situation, even if you feel that way, you can’t help it, but isn’t it a little persistent?

As I began to have doubts about the security uncle’s relentless attempt to hand over the yokan, Mizuki-sensei swallowed his saliva and said:

“Then I’ll get the yokan, so can you shake the key pack just once?”

“Yes? Suddenly?”

“Yes. Then I will open this door.”

“Yeah, nothing difficult.”

Swag! Swag! Swag! Swag!

Then there was a clear sound of metal echoing through the door.

I looked at the teacher with a surprised expression.

That’s right, until the security guy just knocked on the door-

Because there was no sound outside the door.

As the teacher covered her mouth with both hands and didn’t say anything, ‘something’ beyond the door spoke in a creepy voice.

“Did you notice?”
