I wanted to be a bad actor in the anime, but I failed.

"Speaking of which, that girl is so pretty. She can get together with other pretty girls, try to strike up a conversation, and then the relationship will be good. Isn't it simple?"

Yumiko Miura said easily.

Before anyone could say anything, they heard the young man at the corner of the table let out a long sigh for no apparent reason.

This made the blonde queen frown and look at the young man unhappily and said, "Hey, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"Huh? What?" Mu Lin asked puzzledly.

"Hmph! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have bad friends. Didn't you just run away?"

Miura Yumiko retorted sarcastically, which made Mu Lin's expression turn cold.

"Have you heard of the story of why not eat meat?"

"Why not eat meat?"

"This story is about an ancient emperor who ate a lot of meat and fish every day. During a famine, he saw civilians starving to death on the streets because they couldn't even get rice. He asked his officials why these people didn't eat meat and fish."

"So what does that mean?"

Yumiko Miura didn't understand.

But Hayama, Yukinoshita, Hikigaya and others understood.

Although this allusion is used somewhat incorrectly, it is still quite appropriate.

While Miura Yumiko hadn't realized that Mu Lin was scolding her in a roundabout way, Ye Shan quickly tried to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, we are now discussing how to help that girl. What Yumiko just said is true in a way, but it's not easy to implement. In general, we have to think of other ways to help her get along with others."

Hiyaya Komachi interjected, "But Rumi has a very sharp personality. It might be difficult for her to fit in with the group, right?"

Ye Shan nodded and said, "Rather than being sharp, it's more like being cold, or even icy."

"What do you mean by cold? It's just arrogance, right? It's because you look down on others all day long and do whatever you want. You are completely self-centered and that's why you are rejected by others, right? Just like someone."

Miura Yumiko glanced at Mu Lin and said sarcastically.

Mu Lin rested his chin on his hand, tapped the table with his index finger, and glanced at her indifferently.

"Oh..." The long sigh is so vicissitudes.

"so what?"

"What's wrong with being cold? What's wrong with being overbearing? What's wrong with being self-centered? What's wrong with being rejected by others?"

"And then? What's the result? Am I dead now? Am I unhappy now?"

"No, no, no, I am living a happy and free life now."

"Your discussion is so boring."

"Social people have a preconceived notion that the way of survival of those who are not sociable, that is, those who are different from themselves, is wrong, and then they jump to the conclusion that others need help."

"Is that helping you? No, you just want to change an alien and make her one of you to further prove that your way of survival is absolutely correct."

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter anyway. If you want to help her, then help her. Whether it's good for her or bad for her has nothing to do with me."

Mu Lin smiled, stood up, waved his hand, and left only his lonely figure in front of a group of people with stunned expressions as he disappeared into the shadow of the camp.

The young man named Hikigaya Hachiman sighed: This person's way of survival is more twisted than his, but also more correct than his.

Then, Yukinoshita Yukino also retracted her astonished gaze, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back to the dormitory first."

The departure of one or two people also announced the end of this discussion.

Everyone left one after another, and in the end only Kasumigaoka Utaha was still typing frantically.

Night had fallen, and the dark camp was illuminated by tiny sparks of fire.

The owl began to cry sadly.

A gust of cold wind blew the fallen leaves on the ground into a circle!

"Uh······"

The roar of some unknown animal penetrated the dense forest and reached Kasumigaoka Utaha's ears!

She shuddered with fear, and only then did she realize how strange the lifeless environment around her was.

She quickly picked up the notebook and ran back to the dormitory.

As luck would have it, at that moment, the people in the dormitory had turned off the lights and were telling ghost stories.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's face was pale. She had completely lost the motivation to type and curled up on her bed.

A group of women were sitting around Ebina, screaming. The latter used a flashlight to illuminate his chin and spoke slowly in a sinister tone.

"There are rumors that Chiba Village is haunted recently."

"Yes, it is Chiba Village where we are now."

"Let me tell you, it took me a long time to find the detailed information. This haunted incident happened in a pub in the back mountain that had been abandoned for ten years."

"Someone accidentally went in and ran out in horror saying it was haunted. You should all know this, right? I know more!"

"I'll tell you right now."

"This izakaya was very popular ten years ago. Many people came from far away to drink, soak in the hot springs and get a massage!"

"And the cashier at the izakaya is a girl with the same name as Yamamura Sadako."

"This girl... Yukinoshita isn't here, right? That's good! I've seen photos of this girl! She looks exactly like Yukinoshita! Same long black hair, same beautiful looks, but very gentle and quiet. She's the cashier at the izakaya, and the daughter of the boss."

"But one night, Sadako disappeared and could not be found no matter how hard we looked."

"After her father neglected his business and dug up the pub, it took a month to finally find her!"

"What do you think? There is a very secret cave on the mountain wall next to this pub!"

"In this cave, Sadako was found hanged..."

"Ahhh!! So! So scary!" Yuigahama Yui and others screamed while hugging their pillows.

And Ebina became more and more excited as he spoke.

"And when she hanged herself, she looked exactly like Sadako, with her hair hanging down and her face completely hidden."

"Her skin was purple-white. The autopsy found that she had been dead for a month, but her body showed no signs of decay, as if it had been frozen in an ice coffin."

"After the police ruled that she committed suicide, guess what happened?"

"What, what happened?" Even though they were scared, the girls couldn't stop their curiosity.

"In the morgue, Sadako's body is missing!"

"Ahhhhh!!! Why did it disappear? Could someone have stolen the body?"

"No, no, no. The weirdest thing is that the surveillance footage was intact, and the surveillance footage didn't show anyone entering the morgue. Sadako's body just disappeared. Later, in the past ten years, Sadako's body has never been found."

"and then?"

"Then, the izakaya closed down a few days later because of the death of the owner, who died of suffocation in his bedroom due to being strangled. No matter how the police investigated, they could not find the murderer."

"Finally, some people speculated that the boss might have forced his daughter to commit suicide, and then his daughter turned into a ghost to take revenge on him."

“Ahhhhh!!!” the girls screamed again.

And Kasumigaoka Utaha even covered her ears with a quilt, but still couldn't help listening to Ebina's gloomy words.

"So, this pub has been abandoned for ten years. No one goes there anymore because of fear. But recently, someone who didn't know the situation broke in there without permission. Although they didn't die, they were still horrified and said that it was haunted. It's possible that Sadako hasn't been reincarnated in these ten years and has become a ghost."

"Wow, wow, wow..." Someone was frightened and started crying.

Then, the excited Ebina proposed an even more frightening plan, which was exactly the same as the one in the boys' dormitory.

In the boys' dormitory next door.

Coincidentally, Tobe was also telling all the boys the story about the izakaya in Chiba Village.

Compared to the girls, the boys did not scream, but they were still trembling.

Hu Bu said excitedly, "Hahaha! How is it?! Is it scary? I remember there is a courage test competition tomorrow night, right? After testing the courage of the children, how about we go to the izakaya in the back mountain to test our courage after the competition is over?"

Some shook their heads and some nodded.

"What do you think? Hayato, what is your opinion?" Tobe asked the backbone.

"Well, about this, I'll need to ask Mr. Hiratsuka's opinion when the time comes."

"No! Mr. Hiratsuka will never allow that! It's the weekend anyway, and Mu Lin is just having fun. We should find something fun to do, right? We can just go quietly!"

"Hey... Let's talk about it tomorrow. We still have to hide this from the girl next door."

"Hey, hey! Why are you hiding it? Maybe we can go with them! That would be a great opportunity to make a girlfriend!"

----

Because someone in the dormitory was telling ghost stories.

So Yukinoshita Yukino temporarily left the dormitory.

Of course, as a materialist who doesn't believe in ghosts, she wasn't afraid, she just thought it was noisy because there were too many people.

The clearing in the dark woods was filled with silver light from the full moon.

The chirping of insects and birds around makes this place seem even more peaceful.

Bathed in the moonlight, Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at the stars in the sky and hummed "The Sky Is Full of Little Stars".

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps approaching from behind was heard.

She turned around and saw a dark figure getting closer and closer. She asked warily, "Who?"

The shadow paused for a moment, did not answer, and continued walking forward.

This movement made Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but do the starting posture of Aikido.

But after seeing who was coming, she relaxed.

"What are you doing here so late?"

"Please ask yourself before you say this."

Mu Lin and Yukinoshita passed each other.

"By the way, for your own safety, I suggest you not wander around in this woods at night. Something doesn't look right here."

"Huh, is the basis for saying this the recent ghost rumors?"

"Not."

"So what about you? Please ask yourself when you say this? Where are you going?"

"I go wherever I want."

"Will you not join up with your two bad brothers to do something bad in the dark night?"

"Yeah, so I advise you to return to the dormitory before we take action. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to do anything if we catch you."

"Heh!" Yukinoshita Yukino crossed her arms nervously, "Are you deliberately making up a scary lie like parents do to trick your children into not running around at night? I won't be fooled."

"It doesn't matter."

Mu Lin waved his hand and disappeared into the darkness of the woods.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at his strange behavior and was a little curious, but she didn't follow him. Instead, she stayed here for a long time before returning to the dormitory.

Mu Lin was walking in the forest, but he saw a smaller version of Yukinoshita Yukino by the river.

After knowing who she was, he sighed slightly.

"Hey."

"ah!"

Looking at the reflection of the moonlight on the river surface, Tsurumi Rumi was so scared that she almost fell into the river.

She stood up hurriedly, looked at the shadow in the darkness and shouted, "Who are you?!"

"I."

After seeing who was coming, Tsurumi Rumi breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"Aren't you afraid of encountering any danger by yourself in this deep forest?"

"There's no danger at all."

"Go back to the dormitory quickly, or I will tell your teacher."

"Are you the kind of person who tells tales?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Oh."

After giving Rumi Tsurumi's three-word answer, she turned and left.

Mu Lin was about to leave when he suddenly heard her words again.

"Where are you going?"

"You don't care where I go."

"Be careful or I'll tell your teacher!"

"Sue, sue whatever you want."

Tsurumi Rumi was a little annoyed, so she walked up and said, "Anyway, the dormitory is full of annoying people, and I don't want to go back until they go to bed. I'll follow you!"

"I reject."

"..."

Tsurumi Rumi looked at Mu Lin in silence.

The latter took a few steps forward, and she took a few steps forward. Then he took a few steps back, and she also took a few steps back.

"So you don't think I'm annoying?" Mu Lin said speechlessly.

"Compared to the people in the dorm, you're not annoying!"

"But what if I find you annoying?"

"Oh." Tsurumi Rumi showed an expression that said, "So what if you hate me? I'll just follow you anyway."

"Okay, follow me. Just don't get scared to death."

"Are you going to some scary place?" Tsurumi Rumi thought of the partial knowledge she learned from the TV show and said stubbornly, "I'm a materialist. I'm only afraid of people, not ghosts!"

"Hmph, you're still a materialist." Mu Lin sneered.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"You think I'm laughing at you, right?"

"Oh."

The two of them walked one after the other on the forest path.

From time to time, when the two of them passed by, some crows and squirrels hiding in the bushes would flee, and the sudden noise caused would scare the young Tsurumi Rumi into trembling with fear.

She hugged her shoulders and walked quickly forward to shorten the distance between her and Mu Lin.

At the same time, she was looking at the young man in front of her who was just walking forward with frustration!

It's really annoying that he didn't even turn his head back and didn't care about her, a descendant of the human race!

It was as if he had eyes behind his head, Mu Lin said faintly.

"You can still go back now while you're still here."

"I told you, I'm a materialist."

"Forget it. I like you, so I'll be your friend for one night with my brother."

"Brother? What brother?"

Just as Tsurumi Rumi was puzzled, she suddenly heard some movement in the bushes on both sides.

"Uh······"

The strange roar made her face pale and she took a half step back. She couldn't help but think, Mu Lin came here in the middle of the night and suddenly said brother or something, could it be that he is brothers with a ghost?

So, she looked at the back that never turned around with a look of horror.

Immediately afterwards, at the moment Mu Lin turned around, two dark shadows rushed out from the bushes!

"what!!!!"

Screams tore through the night!
