Ghost School

Special Episode 6: Iruki the Spirit Exterminator 2 (Iruki's Life Destruction)

"For me, family is more important than anything regardless of the nature of the brother" Iruki said flatly.

"Sister is uncomfortable with your existence. So I'm gonna kick you out of this house any way"

Iruki also finished her sports and walked into the house.

"so... Apparently so... So that's what you chose, Iruki?..." Mumbled the spirit

*

**

Ever since Iruki met that spirit at dawn last time, Iruki had never met him again.

"He understands also what I mean" Iruki thought

"I can finally calm down a bit too..." Iruki muttered

Iruki walks out of her house to go to school.

When at school...

"Iru, how are you?"

"Same as always"

"Hm~ By the way, did you see anything else in school like SD first?"

"How many times have I told you, I haven't been able to see that since last year" Iruki replied

"What's? It can't be suddenly, can it? It's so weird~ you used to be very convincing when it comes to ghosts"

"Heeey~ Quickly say. Where's the ghost you saw?"

"You cornered Iruki again?" Shouts the other

"Don't unmask him in public. It was a lie in childhood. Now he has become more mature, so ashamed of his lies in childhood. Hence now he made a new lie to cover it up" shouted the others again

"Heey~ You say that it's even outrageous"

"Haha"

"Oh yeah, it's just a joke. Don't be so serious"

"...."

Because of his ability, people who can not see it so think that Iruki making up can see ghosts to look cool and just looking for sensation.

"I'm so sorry I didn't hide my strength all this time. I should have kept it hidden from anyone" Iruki thought

7 Hours at school have been passed. As soon as the school bell ended today, Iruki quickly returned home.

But he just remembered. Today is the anniversary of his mother's death. So before going home, he came to his mother's grave first.

He stopped by the flower shop which was the way to the funeral and bought flowers for his mother.

"...."

As soon as I arrived, Iruki stared at her mother's grave for a moment, then sat down and prayed for her mother after putting flowers on her grave.

After a solemn prayer, he opened his eyes and looked back at his mother's grave.

"Mom, I have something to say. I must have seen it from up there. Brother insisted on leaving the house because he didn't want to see me"

"What should I do, mom? Let brother go, or am I going as brother says?"

"If... She's been with us until now..." Iruki muttered and slowly lowered her head

"I... Ruka..."

Iruki flinched. He immediately raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound.

"Little boy?" Thought Iruki

A little girl who was about 5 years old was standing on the grave beside her mother.

Iruki glanced towards the grave that the little boy stepped on.

"So he's the spirit of that grave..." Thought Iruki

Afterwards Iruki looked at the little boy.

"By the way, this little boy looks familiar... Oh, aye. He is a spirit who is also home. I remember when I was a kid I saw him and he asked me to play. It was also the beginning of my brother starting to stay away from me" Iruki thought

*p. S. The spirit of this little boy appeared in the previous episode, which he emerged from a bush in the courtyard of Iruki's house at the age of 5 years old Iruki.

"Since that day I have never seen him again. Has he been hiding all this time?" Thought Iruki

"Hey, are you following me?" Ask Iruki

The little boy nodded slowly without saying anything.

"Lau kenpa you're here? Why at home you never show up after that day, and here you show up"

"Because... This is my place..." The spirit of the little boy

"...."

Iruki no longer asked. After a while, Iruki stood up.

"Mother, today is enough. Iruki will come back here later. Good luck there"

Iruki walked away. Simultaneously as it passed through the little boy's grave, Iruki glanced at the little boy.

"I won't pray for you just because you know who I am" Iruki said.

"I warn!" The little boy suddenly said

"?"

Iruki stopped walking and looked at the little boy.

"Spirit hunters. Learn to be a spirit hunter. I'm warning you!"

"...."

"Thank you?"

Confused Iruki resumed her path and ignored the little spirit's words.

*

As soon as I got home, Iruki saw her father and brother were ready to go to her mother's funeral in all black and neat clothes.

"Once again you go alone to mom's grave after school" said her father

"It's rude of mom. To the mother who has died just like this, especially if the mother is still alive" murmured her brother was upset

"Father and sister are too following the rules of the family"

"Rules are there for good. It's also a form of courtesy to mom!" Jerk his brother

"You guys stop. Iruki, come in and change your clothes. Your father and brother are leaving now"

"Good, dad. Father and brother are also careful"

"Huh! It must be insincere" his brother murmured

Both are gone.

After seeing the two leave, Iruki walks into the house and meets the spirit of the woman, her friend.

"You're still here? I thought you were gone" Iruki said and continued walking

"Why expel us, Iruki? This is our home too. You can't be like that to us!"

"No, you're wrong. This is my house with my father and brother. There's no place for spirits like you"

The spirit gnashed its teeth and blocked Iruki's path.

"You'll regret it!!" Yells

"No way" Iruki replied casually and continued on her way. Iruki did not ignore the spirit that blocked the road, he continued to walk until it penetrated the body of the spirit.

"I've made a choice, Iruki..." Mumbled

"Yes, yes" replied Iruki not caring

*

**

1 week later...

"Dad, I go to school first" Iruki said as she put on her shoes.

Her father came out of the room and saw Iruki.

"Yes" said his father

"Where's brother?" Ask Iruki

"Sister didn't go to school today. Last night he said he was suddenly not feeling well"

"Ah, okay"

"Either why my hunch is not good" Iruki thought

Iruki stood up after taking her shoes and went out of the house.

"Well, at most it's just a casual feeling" Iruki thought and refocused on her life.

7 Hours at school have passed. When Iruki was going home, she was instead called by her class leader because there was an affair that her homeroom teacher asked for.

Because of that, Iruki who should only spend 7 hours in school now even spend 9 hours in school.

After the affair with the homeroom teacher and the class president was over, he went straight home.

When I returned home, how shocked Iruki got his house neat and thick with classic oriental nuances that were now charred by fire.

Neighbors and housemaids huddled in his house trying to save themselves and help put out the fire.

For a while Iruki was petrified from being too shocked. Then he realized, among the crowd there was no father and brother.

"Dad! Where are my father and sister?!" Shouted Iruki

The female servants who were near Iruki seemed hesitant to say so while looking at each other.

"That's... Mister and Miss are still inside..." Say someone doubtfully

Without hesitation Iruki immediately ran in to look for her Father and brother.

"What are you doing, Iruki?! You'll die if you get into a big fire like this!!" Shouted a man who was putting out a fire. He immediately catches Iruki as soon as he sees Iruki coming in.

"Take me off, Uncle!! Father and brother are still inside!!" Iruki shouted with tears.

"I understand how you feel. But now you have to think of your own misery!!"

"Hey, help me get Iruki to safety!!" Shouted the man

Then came the 3 men who were servants in the house and took Iruki away from the house.

"Young Master please take care. We'll try to put out the fire and find Mr and Miss"

"No! Move aside! Father and brother, I have to find them!!" Shouted Iruki

*

**

Evening day came.

After a few hours, that enormous fire could finally be extinguished.

And...

"Have met!! Master and Miss!!" Shouted a man.

"It... No. gabe... Maybe..." Iruki muttered

Iruki sat down to the ground. With trembling hands he tried to open the cloth that covered the two. But people stopped him.

"Don't look at Young Master. That would hurt the Young Master even more"

Iruki already understood his meaning. The bodies of his father and brother were so badly damaged that they could not be identified due to severe burns.

"Cannot be. This is impossible, right? I just had a conversation with Dad this morning..." Thought Iruki

Iruki clasped tightly onto the white cloth that covered her father's body with tears.

"Sister!! Daddy!!" Shouted Iruki

Tests... Tests... Test test test...

Zrass....

It rained heavily, as if to be sad with Iruki.

People also began to take shelter so as not to be rained.

"Young Master, let's take shelter first"

"Tonight stay at my house, though it's not big"

*

At night, Iruki could not sleep. Today's incident was a very bad nightmare for Iruki. But it's worse than a nightmare. It's all real. The fact that Iruki is a kara without family and property.

With empty eyes, Iruki walked out and came to his house which now only had a pile of wooden ash left.

Amidst the rain, Iruki stood while looking at the ruins of his house.

"Are you happy with my gift, Iruki?"

The female spirit that Iruki had become friends with before appears.

"I don't intend to do this, but you're forcing me to do it. If only you hadn't spoiled your beloved brother too much, this wouldn't have happened"

Iruki glanced towards the spirit. His once hollow eyes were now shrouded in anger and resentment.

"So you!!!" Shouted Iruki

"You yourself said you won't regret it. If you let your brother go, we'll continue to be good friends"

"It's your fault, Iruki. You've thrown us away but that doesn't mean we can't do anything"

Those red spirit eyes now seemed to shine brightly and intimidate under the moonlight.

Iruki punched the spirit with all her might. However Iruki pierced through that spirit.

"Free. You will forever be unable to fight us. You can only see us but you have no power. Never underestimate us spirits just because we have no body!"

"Kep*rat br!!"

The spirit smiled.

"I'm not going to kill you, because we're friends"

"I will never forgive you!!"

Iruki continuously beat and kicked the spirit, despite knowing that it penetrated the spirit body. His anger at the spirit he could not hold and control.

"You're so funny, Iruki~"

The spirit unleashed its power and attacked Iruki.

The spirit attack hit Iruki's left shoulder.

Iruki sat down to endure the pain with her trembling left hand.

"Fufu~ Then, I go first"

The spirit disappeared too.

"Dam... That fucking... Disgusting ke*rat!!"

Iruki lowered her head and recalled that she was now alone.

"Dad... Mothers... Sister..."

"Everything's gone..."

Amidst the rain, Iruki cried silently until her body trembled.

Then...

"Irukii..."

Iruki raised her head and found the spirit of the little boy she had seen at the funeral earlier standing in front of her.

His long black hair was decomposing wet amidst such heavy rain.

"You also meddled in this tragedy?!" Shouted Iruki

The little spirit shook his head slowly with his eyes closed.

"Of course not"

He opened his eyes again and looked inside Iruki.

"I warned you before to learn to be an exterminator, but you didn't heed my words"

"What do you mean?! Spirit hunters? I don't get it"

"He's come"

The spirit of the little boy disappeared. Shortly afterwards came 2 men walking over to Iruki.

A man held out the umbrella he held to Iruki.

"Son, it's not good outside when it's raining like this. You can get the flu later"

Iruki glanced at the two men at a glance and lowered her head again.

"Are you the kid who lives here?" Ask the other guy

"Yes..." Answer Iruki listlessly

"We're going to do an investigation, you take it easy. It's an adult problem"

"No need" Iruki said quickly

"What do you mean?"

"You may not believe it, but the mastermind came to me alone. He admitted that he caused all this. And he's not human"

The two men looked at each other seriously.

"You must think I'm crazy after losing my family, but that's what happened"

"No. You're not wrong"

"What does uncle mean?" ask Iruki

"Before that, dry your body first, rest and just discussed"

"really. Now you go back first. We'll be back in the morning"

*

Morning has arrived.

This morning Iruki's father and brother's funeral will be held.

And, at the funeral this time, the two men were present with the identity of a 'far-off relative of the Yasa family'.

Iruki's father and brother were buried next to his mother's grave.

After the funeral was over and people began to return to their homes. Now in the cemetery left Iruki and the 2 men.

"Are you done, son?"

Iruki turned around and looked at the two men standing behind her sharply.

"Let's go"

Iruki's tone of voice changed drastically. His usual calm voice now became very heavy and filled with anger.

The two men were silent for a moment, then took Iruki to an office building.

"Why did you bring me here?" Ask Iruki

"Not wrong, son. It looks like an ordinary office, but there are other secrets in it"

Iruki was taken into a study. Beside the desk was a large bookcase. The man took 1 book and opened it. It turns out that the book has a secret button. He pushed the button and the secret door opened.

"Let's go in"

It was so dark that nothing was seen. Then from the end of the hallway a light began to approach.

They also arrived at the actual location, which was the "Spirit Hunter Headquarters".

The room there is not much different from the office room, it just looks more luxurious and there is full of various weapons, neatly stacked seal paper, as well as a furnace for witches to concoct. Books for the purpose of hunting spirits are also displayed clearly there.

For a moment Iruki was amazed to see the unique foreign place.

"This place..." Iruki muttered

"Spirit hunter headquarters" replied the man

Iruki flinched. He remembered the warning from the little spirit 1 week ago.

..."Spirit hunters. Learn to be a spirit hunter. I'm warning you!"...

"Before there was a spirit that warned me to learn to be a spirit hunter, but I didn't understand the point"

"That means he's a good spirit. You'll learn a lot about spirits from now on with kids your age who also have special powers"

"Come, I'll take you around first"

While Iruki was being guided around, at one of the tables of a room he saw a photo that felt familiar.

Iruki stopped and looked at the photo. It appeared that a long, unraveled black haired woman was standing with a girl who resembled that woman.

"This woman... She's like the mother in the house painting. But the girl is not a sister. Brother has brown hair like me and dad. After all, at the age of that big brother, I was born" Iruki thought

"Eh?! Come to think of... The child in the photo also looks similar to the spirit of the previous child"

The man who guided Iruki realized Iruki was interested in the photo, finally explaining a little about the woman.

"The woman in the photo is the deputy leader at the spirit hunter's base here. The child in front of him was his daughter"

"Who... The woman's name..." Iruki muttered

"Aaah~ Madam vice-leader comes from family---Wait!!"

The man looked straight at me.

"Son, what's your name?"

"Yes... Yasa Iruki's"

The man quickly pressed his head against the wall many times.

"Uncle?!"

"Haw..."

The man stood up straight again and stared inside Iruki.

Alright. I'll tell you.
